Leon nodded, then picked up the grilled fish and took a big bite. There was no trace of fishiness—only the crispy, aromatic skin that stunned his taste buds.
The flavor seemed simple—just salt and a hint of wasabi’s sharp spice—yet the overall taste was incredibly rich and layered. Still, Leon couldn’t figure out what other ingredients had been used beyond those two.

“Can I take a look at it?” Leon pressed.
“You… curiosity really is your biggest problem.” Linus chuckled, but still went into his tent. When he came back, he handed Leon a small flask filled with a multicolored powder.
“Qi’s Seasoning: Just a pinch can turn any dish into a gourmet feast.”
