Chapter 110 110 A Mysterious Memory
After disposing of the pile of shredded flesh, Natsuki said to Hakuto, "Do you feel better now?"
"Yeah. But Natsuki-chan, aren't you afraid of me now?"
Natsuki looked at Hakuto. "Idiot. How could a teacher be afraid of her student?"
"No matter what you become, you are still my student."
[Ahhh, my wife Natsuki is so gentle. She actually said that no matter what I become, I am still her student. But sorry, my wife Natsuki, I don't want to be your student. I want to be your husband!]
A flash of crimson passed over Natsuki's cheeks, then she smacked the folding fan in her hand hard against Hakuto's forehead.
"Stop thinking nonsense. That lewd expression on your face has already betrayed you."
Hakuto said, "Nonsense. How could my handsome face make a lewd expression?"
Ignoring Hakuto's antics, Natsuki stated her real reason for coming. "Bringing the assassin here today was only one reason for my visit. The other reason is that the Bai Luo Family has been lost to history. So I hope you can recreate the Four Spirit Seafood Eight Treasure Soul Buns to appease those two entities."
Hakuto thought for a moment, then looked at Natsuki. "I can agree, but I can only say I'll do my best. Moreover, there is a prerequisite. Only if you find this prerequisite will I possibly be able to truly make the Four Gods Eight Treasures Seafood Bun."
"What prerequisite?"
Natsuki asked, thinking to herself that she could probably handle this prerequisite.
"Aged starter dough. The thousand-year aged starter dough passed down through generations of the Bai Luo Family."
Natsuki was instantly dumbfounded.
Anything else would be fine, but this thousand-year aged starter dough... How was that different from finding a descendant of the Bai Luo Family?
Natsuki looked at Hakuto and asked, "Does it really have to be thousand-year aged starter dough? Can't we use something else?"
Hakuto shook his head, but then hesitated and said, "We can try other aged starter dough. Hundred-year or older. We'll see if it works. If not, then we'll look for thousand-year aged starter dough."
"Okay."
Natsuki breathed a sigh of relief. Hundred-year aged starter dough was manageable. At least it could be found.
But thousand-year aged starter dough—aside from possibly getting it from Hakuto's rewards, what was the difference between looking for it in the real world and searching for a needle in the ocean?
"Then get some good rest. I'll figure out the aged starter dough situation."
Natsuki then left.
[Although I promised my wife Natsuki to try to come up with the Four Gods Eight Treasures Seafood Bun, the aged starter dough is the first major hurdle to overcome. That thousand-year aged starter dough from the Shu Han period is probably hard to come by. But there should be hundred-year aged starter dough, right? I wonder if I can get it.]
[I'm sure Natsuki-chan can handle this. For now, I need to think about how to come up with the recipe for the Four Gods Eight Treasures Seafood Bun. Fortunately, I have Super Taste. I can probably infer and restore the recipe from the recipes in my memory or from videos I've watched. So I don't need to worry too much about that.]
Little did Hakuto know, Alice was grinding her teeth in frustration right now.
They both had Super Taste, but Alice's Super Taste was far inferior to Hakuto's by an unknown degree.
Erina suddenly felt that her God's Tongue was garbage. Not only was it less useful than Super Taste, but it could also go out of control. What kind of crap thing was that? She really wanted to throw it away.
Meanwhile, another person, Nene, felt her heart suddenly pound.
"Aged starter dough? I have some. Although it's not thousand-year aged starter dough, it is a hundred years old."
After hesitating slightly, Nene dialed Erina's phone number.
"Kinokuni-senpai, is there something you need?"
Erina's voice came from the other end of the line.
"Nakiri-san, do you also have the diary?"
Erina's eyes widened, and she immediately understood that Nene also had the diary.
"Yes, I have the diary. You have it too, Kinokuni-senpai, right?"
"Yes, I have it. And I have aged starter dough in my possession. So if possible, I hope you can help make a connection for me."
Nene directly stated her intention.
"Understood. I will contact Natsuki-san."
"Okay. Then I'll leave it to you."
In Hakuto's apartment, after eating the medicinal cuisine brought by Erina and Alice, Hakuto felt a warm current flow through his body, making him feel much more comfortable.
After finishing dinner, Hakuto went into the kitchen to start studying the recipe for the Four Gods Eight Treasures Seafood Bun.
He continued until midnight. As soon as midnight passed, Hakuto immediately claimed his rewards.
[Yesterday's diary completed. Starting reward distribution. You have received a mysterious memory.]
[Yesterday's diary keeper received. Starting drawing: one diary copy holder will receive the same reward.]
[Drawing complete. Congratulations to XXXXX for receiving a memory fragment.]
[Diary copy holder reward distribution starting. The person mentioned the most times by the diary keeper yesterday was Minamiya Natsuki. Starting reward distribution now.]
[Congratulations to Minamiya Natsuki for receiving the Temporal Cage. Temporal Cage: A cage containing the power of time and space.]
Hakuto blinked his eyes.
[What the hell? Where's my reward? It said a mysterious memory, but where is the memory? Why don't I have any extra memories at all?]
Hakuto felt like he had been cheated, but he didn't dwell on it, thinking it was like the ball of air from before.
[Sleep. Early to bed, early to rise. Tomorrow I'll continue researching the Four Gods Eight Treasures Seafood Bun.]
After falling asleep, Hakuto didn't notice the door quietly opening, and then a figure slipped directly into Hakuto's bed.
Then they snuggled against Hakuto's chest, found a comfortable position, and hugged Hakuto as they drifted off to sleep. In his dreams, Hakuto instinctively hugged this fragrant, self-delivered body pillow.
…
In a certain villa.
Arisu furrowed her brow.
"This world seems to have deeper waters than I thought. If this memory were to leak out, the whole world would be shaken."
As the recipient of the mysterious memory, Arisu sighed. If the memory she obtained were to leak out, it would probably cause an uproar throughout the world.
"But what about the memory Hakuto obtained? Judging from the diary's content, it seems Hakuto didn't actually receive the memory?"
