There is a cauldron on the ground on the side of the canyon, or rather...... Large jars.

The water inside was steaming hot.

"Next, just cook it, but ...... Undercooked or overcooked will affect the taste of the egg. Menqi reminded on the side.

"I see." Without hesitation, the white-haired boy put the pile of eggs he was holding in his arms into the big jar.

Daifuku on the side also put it in.

Then the eyes under the sunglasses were fixed on the eggs in the hot water.

Screams and wails continued to be heard from beneath the canyon.

Grape Vulture appears and attacks the person who is stealing their eggs.

Under their onslaught, many players fell from the spider web.

Fell into the deep river below and was swept away by the current.

"Very good, cooked." Aitor quickly picked up the spoon and scooped up the eggs in the order in which they had been placed in the water.

It was caught by Daifuku with his arm.

The calm and reliable killer bear doesn't care at all that the freshly fished eggs are still hot.

"Whew-" Aitor blew on an egg, trying to cool it down.

Keep swapping places between your hands.

"Whew-" He blew a few more times.

The eggshell was then peeled off.

Looking at the mediocre egg, I took a bite.

"Ah...... Hmm-"

"This tastes ......," he chewed a few times.

"How? It's delicious. Menqi said on the side.

Be prepared to explain a bunch of life lessons to the other person.

For example, the feeling of getting the ingredients yourself and making them by yourself is different...... Something like that.

"It should be delicious." Aitto nodded in conviction.

Sure enough, he still can't taste the difference between good and bad taste.

He can make the perfect glowing dish, but he can't taste how delicious it is.

But it's not a big problem, as long as you don't starve to death.

The similar life truth that Menqi had been brewing suddenly became unspeakable.

Delicious is delicious, what should it mean!

"I'll give you a taste too." Aitor peeled another egg and fed it to the cookie.

"Is it delicious?" He asked, touching the head of the cookie.

"Wang-" The tears of the cookie looked delicious.

"Do you like to eat so much...... the young man smiled softly and happily.

It was as if I was happy to see the Shiba Inu eating, and I was sincerely happy.

[The system has included the meat of the high-nosed rabid pig and the eggs of the grape spider vulture.] 】

[Available for purchase in the system store.] 】

The system suddenly prompted.

Aito clicked on the mall and took a look, and found that there were indeed two more products in the ingredients.

However, most of them are still gray and cannot be purchased.

"In this way, it can also be made for everyone to taste in reality." The white-haired boy smiled with great satisfaction.

"Whew." Daifuku stuffed the rest of the eggs into his clothes.

In fact, it was received in the system backpack.

Aitto spent a little bit of emotion and opened two more squares.

So that the next time you take it out, the eggs will be freshly steamed.

Xiaojie, Killua, Kurapika, Leoli and other candidates also took the eggs back.

Carefully put it in the pot, keep an eye on it, and be ready to catch it up at any time.

Menqi then turned his attention to them.

Since you can't make sense with No. 401, you can only tell others.

After all, she had already figured out what to say.

So she spoke confidently and inclusively.

The people around him showed a convincing expression.

Even No. 255, which jumped out several times in a row, was silent for a long time.

Then he said, "Next year, I'll come again." ”

"Well, the number of people who passed this exam is - 42." Menqi announced.

[Congratulations to the player for successfully passing the second level.]

Archiving the current progress -

Archiving is complete. 】

[Coming out of the game——]

[Today's game time has run out, please come back tomorrow.] 】

When Ato opened his eyes, he saw the living room of his home.

The clock on the wall shows that the time is now one o'clock in the afternoon.

He played from eight o'clock in the morning to now.

"You can also practice for two hours." Aito took Daifuku's hand and walked to the piano room.

He and Daifuku sat side by side on the piano bench, cookies lying on Daifuku's hat.

Aitto put his hands on the keyboard and closed his eyes.

Liszt's twelve supertechnical etudes.

Song 5 - "Ghost Fire"

Song 6 – "Phantom"

Song 8 – "Hunting"

and the last one, "Snowfall"

These are the four most played by Aitto of the twelve etudes.

Ten fingers flutter like ghosts, and move between the black and white keys.

I can't see at all that when I first practiced, my fingers were uncoordinated, as if I couldn't even use my hands.

In the quiet of the afternoon, the golden sunlight falls into the house through the window, and you can see small points of light.

The boy turned his back to the sun, closed his eyes and played the music to himself, with a gentle and satisfied smile on his face.

Although his back was to the sun, he was still surrounded by the sun.

"I practice every day, and if I stop one day, I feel like my fingers are getting stiff." Aitto let go of the hand that was pressing the keys, raised it in front of him, bent his fingers, and looked at it.

"I know it's just an illusion, but if I don't practice, I'll be bored."

Whether it's in the United States, or in the laboratory in Japan, or in the house where I live now.

Most of the time he was alone.

And there is nothing to do.

Practicing is an activity he can do every day.

When he was in the United States, he sometimes practiced all day.

Because there was neither a task nor anything else to do, there was no one to talk to, even to chat.

"It's good that I have cookies and Daifuku with me now." As he spoke, he hugged the bear beside him.

Daifuku's bear had the same expression on his face as he raised his hand and touched the boy's hair.

Cookie flipped over on his hat and tried to make Aitol laugh.

The boy did laugh.

But it's not so much that I'm laughed at, but that ......

I laughed because I knew that the cookies were meant to make him laugh.

"The piano is over, it's time to practice the violin, today's words ......" he stood up and took the violin from the case beside him.

"Let's practice larks." He happily decided.

"Daifuku will accompany me, right?" He looked at the bear and said.

The calm bear raised his paws, looked at his "fingers" that were about as thick as the piano keys, and poked the keys tentatively.

……

The blonde man was walking along the road, some distance from the house, but he also heard a faint sound of music.

And as he got closer, the clearer he heard.

When he walked downstairs, he looked up at the location of the piano room on the third floor.

A figure can be seen faintly through the floor-to-ceiling window, sitting in front of the window, with his back to the window, playing the violin.

The song is light and cheerful.

The Skylark by Deniku.

In addition to the violin, there is also the accompaniment of the piano.

Playing the violin is Avi Creel.

The accompaniment ...... Who is it?

Also a member of the organization?
