Chapter 62 62 The Truth of the Heart of Cooking, Hakuto Attacked
"Uh, the two Spirits on me are very special. Only Super Chefs can make offerings to them. So..."
[Speaking of which, last time, the Six-Flavor Illusion Mapo Tofu that Erina made was accepted as an offering? Does Erina have the strength of a Super Chef? Impossible, right? Could it be because of the Six-Flavor Illusion Mapo Tofu?]
[Unfortunately, the two big shots on me have no intention of communicating. Otherwise, I could ask them.]
A look of disappointment appeared on Sonoka's face. Then she forced a smile and said, "Then, next time, can I invite you to taste my cooking again?"
"Of course, no problem. However, if you want to make a dish that satisfies the Spirits on me, Chef Kikuchi, you must dedicate yourself wholeheartedly while cooking. You can imagine, while cooking, that the dish you are making is meant for the person you love the most. You want to integrate everything you have into the dish and offer it to that person."
[I'm telling my wife Sonoka part of the truth about the Heart of Cooking. I hope it helps my wife Sonoka. Alas, I just can't bear to see my wives look sad. I just wonder if doing this is good or bad. The Heart of Cooking...]
'What?'
'Hakuto told Kikuchi Sonoka the truth about the Heart of Cooking?'
A group of people were instantly confused. Even Sonoka herself was confused.
'Hakuto had told me the truth about the Heart of Cooking?'
'Integrate everything into the dish and offer it to the other person?'
'What kind of truth about the Heart of Cooking was this?'
But Hakuto wouldn't lie to her in his diary. That meant Hakuto was telling the truth. He had really told her the truth about the Heart of Cooking.
For a moment, Sonoka's heart was filled with various emotions.
Surprise, disbelief, shock, and a hint of love.
"If you want to make a dish that satisfies Spirits, you can try what I said. It's just... never mind, it's nothing. Chef Kikuchi, you might try falling in love. Present everything you have in the dish and offer it to the person you love the most."
"Of course, you can also choose your parents. Integrate your love and respect for your parents into the dish and present it to them."
[I'm so stupid. I told my wife Sonoka to fall in love. No way. My wife Sonoka can only be mine. I quickly changed my words. I just hope my wife Sonoka doesn't really do what I said first. That would be digging a hole and burying myself.]
[Boo hoo, my wife Sonoka, you can't fall in love with some other man. You have to wait for me. Wait for me to develop, then step on the colorful clouds and come to marry you!]
The roots of Sonoka's ears turned red. In contrast, some other people had dark expressions. If Hakuto were in front of them, they would probably take a bite out of him.
"Haku, may I call you that?"
"Of course, no problem."
"Then please call me Sonoka as well. Next time, when Haku comes, I will definitely let you taste a dish different from today's."
Hakuto nodded but didn't take it to heart.
Then, Hakuto and Megumi said goodbye and left.
Hakuto originally wanted to see Megumi home, but for some reason, Megumi was suddenly angry. She refused Hakuto and went home by herself.
Scratching his head, Hakuto was a bit confused, 'Why was she angry?'
'Was it because I said I wanted a harem?'
He couldn't figure it out. Girls were really troublesome.
Hakuto sighed. Then, not taking it to heart, he turned and went home.
Arriving at the apartment entrance, about to go in, a group of people suddenly surrounded Hakuto.
"Hmm?"
Hakuto looked at these people blocking him. "Is there something?"
"Kid, someone hired us to break one of your hands and one of your feet. To teach you a lesson."
Hakuto narrowed his eyes.
'Break one of my hands and one of my feet?'
His gaze began to wander. Being beaten up was definitely not possible. He couldn't win. So his only option was to run. But he was completely surrounded, so it seemed like he couldn't run.
Suddenly, the pendant on Hakuto's chest heated up slightly. Then, black smoke emanated from Hakuto's body, forming tentacles.
"What, what the hell is that!"
Seeing the tentacles formed from black smoke emanating from Hakuto's body, the people surrounding him panicked a bit.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
As the tentacles swung, the air was filled with the sound of tearing. The next moment, the bones of one hand and one leg of these people were shattered by the tentacles one by one.
Listening to their screams, Hakuto said coldly, "Make another sound, and you can all die."
Instantly, silence fell.
"Now, tell me who sent you. Otherwise, I guarantee you will die very badly."
A tentacle lifted the person who had just said he would break one hand and one foot.
The white part of Hakuto's left eye had turned pitch black, while his pupil had turned golden.
"I, I don't know. Please let me go. Our boss told us to come. I really don't know who is behind this!"
The person lifted by the tentacles screamed in terror. Hakuto frowned.
"Who is your boss?"
"Our boss is Akita Kazuo, a full member of the Yamaguchi-gumi. I was just following the boss's orders."
Hakuto looked at the person in front of him, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
At this moment, Hakuto's entire mind felt as if it were submerged in the deep sea. A cold feeling left him with only calm, rational thoughts.
"So, where is the headquarters of your Yamaguchi-gumi?"
The thug, already terrified, spilled everything like beans.
After listening, Hakuto released the tentacle holding the person, letting him fall to the ground, causing another scream.
"Get lost. But remember, you won't be this lucky next time."
How could these people dare to stay? They crawled away one by one.
The black-gold eye and pupil of Hakuto's left eye gradually returned to normal. The tentacles also gradually disappeared.
