“Excuse me.”
Haru, Shin, Tsunade, and Luffy turned and saw a staff member asking them.
“Yes?” Haru asked.
“Sir, the game in this place might make you bored, how about we invite you to play in VIP place?” the staff asked.
Haru thought for a while and shook his head, “Maybe tomorrow, I’m not planning to continue playing today.”
“Is that so? Then we will be waiting for you,” the staff smiled and said, “Let us help you take these coins.”
“Sure,” Haru didn’t think that such a big casino would try to cheat him since it would connect to their reputation. Even though he won quite a lot of coins, this sum of money was small compared to a profit that they had gotten for a day.
“Eh? We’re going back?” Tsunade was disappointed.
Haru smiled, “We can play another time.” He looked at the staff, “Can you book us a hotel room?”
The staff nodded, “Of course, we will prepare the most special room in our hotel.”
“Sure,” Haru had money and it would be a waste to not use it.
They went to the hotel and rested there for a day. They had played in Gourmet Casino for a week and didn’t enter the VIP place.
Haru didn’t play too much in the past week but he got a special knife that was made by Melk Kitchen Knives. He was really happy when he got this knife and tried to cut a lot of ingredients with this knife, ‘This is very nice.’
They had played around too much and decided to visit Komatsu since they could only go home after he had finished the Century Soup.
Of course, their trip wasn’t peaceful since their group had been targeted by a lot of people since they had won several times in the Gourmet Casino. However, Tsunade kept losing even though Haru had given him quite a sum of money.
In the Gourmet Hotel.
Komatsu who had prepared a Century Soup was in a slump since he couldn’t find the last ingredient for this Century Soup. Suddenly his phone was ringing and he was surprised but he still opened the call, “Y – yes!!”
“Komatsu, we’re here,” Haru said.
“Oh, Haru!” Komatsu was excited.
“How is the Century Soup, Komatsu?” Tsunade asked on his phone.
“It’s not done yet, I don’t know the last ingredient,” Komatsu answered.
“Let us taste your prototype,” Luffy said.
“Yeah, we have gotten a lot of money from Gourmet Casino, we will bring a lot of profit to your restaurant tonight,” Tsunade said.
“Isn’t that my money?” Haru twitched his lips.
Komatsu smiled when he heard their bickering, “Alright, I will tell the staff to let you in.” He talked for a while and called the staff to give them permission to enter his kitchen. He slapped his face and had a serious expression, “Yosh! I will definitely make this soup!”
Haru, Luffy, and Tsunade walked together to the kitchen while being guided by the staff of this restaurant. They looked around until they saw a pink penguin that they had seen before.
“Yun!!!”
The pink penguin was happy when it saw them.
“Oh, you remember us?” Luffy smiled.
“Yun! Yun!” The penguin nodded.
“Alright, come with us, we will see your owner,” Tsunade said and picked it up.
“Yun!” The penguin nodded.
Komatsu decided to pick this penguin after their expedition since it had lost its parents by Tommyrod.
They walked for a while and entered his kitchen, “We’re entered!!!”
“Ah, welcome,” Komatsu smiled, but his face was clearly exhausted.
Even though they were worried, they were more interested in a delicious smell that was coming from a pot.
“Is that?” Haru asked with a surprised expression.
“Yes, there is something missing and I can’t find the last ingredients,” Komatsu said.
“We need to try it first,” Luffy said.
“Oh, let me try it too,” Tsunade said.
“Yun!” Yun also nodded happily.
“Alright, let me serve each of you,” Komatsu said and served them his unfinished Century Soup. Even though it was unfinished, the smell was still very delicious.
They couldn’t help but drool when they thought about that soup.
“Komatsu, can you share with me a recipe for this soup?” Haru tried to ask. He didn’t even mind for him to reject him since he only wanted to try.
“Of course, I will share it with you,” Komatsu smiled.
Haru felt hurt when he saw his pure smile, “Is that okay?”
“Yes, you have given us that Century Soup, of course, I will share it with you,” Komatsu said.
“Komatsu, you’re a great guy,” Haru gave him a thumbs up.
“Haru…” Komatsu felt moved by his praise.
They were looking at each other until suddenly they saw a familiar aurora.
“What?” They were startled and saw a Century Soup on the plate of Yun had turned into a real Century Soup.
“Yun?” Yun titled its head when everyone looked at it.
They looked at each other and finally, they finished this Century Soup.
A few days later,
Everyone who had joined the Century Soup expedition gathered together in Komatsu’s restaurant to eat a Century Soup that had been cooked by him. They were eating together in a festive mood since Komatsu had succeeded to make this soup.
Tsunade, Haru, and Luffy who had finished their mission decided to go back after buying souvenirs for everyone in the Group Chat and their friends and family in this world since they knew that they wouldn’t go back for a short time.
“Alright, let’s go back,” Haru said.
“Good, I’m happy to have a quest together,” Luffy said.
“Ugh, I want to play in the Gourmet Casino again,” Tsunade pouted.
“Use your own money next time,” Haru said.
“Eh? But your money is my money, my money is my money,” Tsunade said.
“Are you a Giant?” Haru asked her while twitching his mouth. He shook his head and said, “Let’s go back, I miss my little sister.”
Suddenly the atmosphere became strange when he said those words to both of them.
Neither of them said anything and pressed the button on Group Chat to get back.
Haru also did the same and they were engulfed by light and teleported back.
Haru came back to his own room and sighed in relief when he saw his surroundings.
“Haru.”
Suddenly the door of his room was opened.
“Sora, what’s wrong?” Haru asked.
Sora raised her eyebrow and asked, “What kind of hairstyle is that?”
Haru touched his hair and forgot that he had changed his hairstyle, “Oh, is it bad?”
Sora shook her head, “No, it’s good but it gives you a bad guy vide.”
Haru wasn’t sure whether it was praise or not.
“Haru, can you tell me the truth?” Sora asked.
“About what?” Haru looked at her.
“What have you been doing? You’re not doing anything dangerous, right?” Sora was very worried since she felt that there was something strange happening around him lately.
Haru thought for a while and decided to tell her since she was his only family, “I know that it’s a bit strange but can you hear me?”
“Hmm?”
