The Warrior of Love

"The next step is to prepare the soup stock. Let's take out a few common 'Observer's Whiskers', peel them, remove the tendons, and boil them in boiling water. After ten minutes, take them out and rinse them with ice water. Repeat this three times."

"Oh, I know."

Jiang Liu took out the colorful soft meat from the holy grail and was about to put it into the pot when his movements suddenly stopped.

"and many more!"

"Ok?"

Ritsuka, who was processing the saury, turned around and asked, "Any questions?"

"It's not that there is a problem, no, there is indeed a problem!"

Jiang Liu, who had always remained calm, showed a distorted expression for the first time and threw away the meat whisker in his hand.

"Why are there tentacles in home-cooked dishes? Is this what your aunt taught you at home?"

"That's exactly what Aunt Medea taught me in Gary."

Li Xiang blinked and said as a matter of course: "She said that the neural flesh of the observer (the monster with big eyeballs) can have the same effect of strengthening the physique as dragon meat after simple processing..."

"Forget it!"

Jiang Liu held Lixiang's head with both hands, forced her to look at him, and stared at her with oppressive eyes.

"Forget all the knowledge about that evil cuisine!"

"But she also taught me a lot of basic magic that is easy to understand, and told me how to make the witch ointment..."

"You are an adult now. You must learn to distinguish between the good and the bad!"

Jiang Liu's face gradually approached, and Lixiang could even feel his hot and wet breath hitting her face. She lowered her head shyly.

"Do you understand it?"

Jiang Liu didn't seem to notice Ritsuka's abnormality and continued speaking.

"Just cook real home-cooked meals now, no need for so-called special "home-cooked meals"! By the way, what do you usually eat? Brother, I am very worried about your physical and mental health!"

"The cafeteria... is managed by ordinary employees. Although Miss Medea wanted to help, and everyone who ate was full of energy, for some reason, after a while, Da Vinci-chan forbade her to get close to the kitchen."

That witch who cooked with potion must have put something weird in it...

"In short, don't use witch-style cooking skills, understand?"

"Since my brother said so... let's use the technique passed down by my mother."

Li Xiang smiled mischievously and pointed at Jiang Liu's nose: "The first step of bride training is to train a man's body, starting with conquering his stomach."

Auntie, what you teach seems a bit strange!

Chapter 476: What bad intentions could Jiang Liu have?

"tasty."

The two Black Kings closed their eyes and spoke this comment slowly after a long while.

“Although it’s not too shocking and can only be described as ‘ordinary delicious’, it has a heart-warming feeling.

After eating it, I felt my mind and body relax, and the tension and fatigue began to slowly fade away... Well, this is a dish that has been put into "love and tenderness."

The King of Mist opened his eyes and said calmly: "I approve of this dish!"

"Great!"

Lixiang laughed excitedly and proudly, turned around and looked at Jiang Liu and the priest, his joy was beyond words.

Jiang Liu returned the smile, and began to look at Li Xiang with a new respect.

It seems that this girl has really worked hard in this regard...

"but!"

Suddenly, the Sword King opened his eyes sharply, with a sneer on his lips.

"Although the taste is acceptable, the quantity is too small! You finished it in one bite. Are you trying to please me?"

"But this is enough for ten people...huh?"

Li Xiang opened his eyes wide in disbelief: "The pot was full just now, how could it be like this..."

In front of the two kings, the ten servings of food that Ritsuka had specially prepared had been completely eaten up without anyone noticing, leaving only a small amount of soup in the pot.

"Impossible, it only took a blink of an eye... Damn it!"

Ritsuka clenched his fists: "I underestimated the capacity of the two kings!"

"Haha, do you want to conquer the king's stomach? Go and train for a few years before coming back. You are far from being able to challenge me right now."

The Sword King smiled contemptuously, with a hint of desire in his eyes.

"If you want a second chance to challenge me, make another one for me!"

"Uh..." Ritsuka was speechless and curled his lips. After thinking for a long time, he really turned back to the kitchen area and made another portion for the Sword King.

"Mm, it's delicious... I approve of it."

The Sword King nodded, wiping his mouth and saying, "I'll let you pass."

However, before Ritsuka had time to be happy this time, another cold voice came into his ears.

"What? You gave her an extra portion?"

The King of Storm, holding the holy spear, frowned and became furious.

"Are you looking down on me? This is outrageous! Now I demand that you give me the same one. No, I want more, much more!"

"Uh..." Lixiang looked at Jiang Liu speechlessly, and Jiang Liu turned his head in tacit understanding. The brother and sister looked at each other, and their thoughts echoed in each other's minds through telepathy.

[That should be the case. ]

[Sure enough, they are waiting for us here. 】

[There is no other way... It is absolutely impossible to complete this trial. Brother, what should we do? ]

【this……】

Sin of Gluttony oAltria oAlter, these two kings, whether they are holding a sword or a gun, have stomachs that never know what satisfaction is.

But their tongues are not picky and can even be said to be quite easy to deal with.

As long as they don't eat potatoes that make them want to vomit before they die, they will happily accept any ingredients or dishes.

For the Black King, who was born in Britain at the end of the Age of Gods, she ruled a country that was often in the midst of famine and war. The material resources were by no means abundant. Moreover, she herself had a tendency towards asceticism. She had always restrained her nature and tried hard to suppress her demand for food.

This desire that had been deliberately suppressed for a lifetime, after becoming a Servant and being summoned by this Tower of Sin, became a causal curse and took on the alias of "Gluttony".

The Heroic Spirits chosen as the "Seven Deadly Sins" will basically liberate their original nature, lose all self-control, and become beings loyal to their own desires.

The appetites of these two Black Kings became uncontrollable after being unleashed. Basically, no matter how much food they put in, it would be instantly converted into magic power, making it difficult for them to feel "full".

In other words, the difficulty of this trial does not lie in "delicious food" but in how to satisfy the two Black Kings.

——Isn’t this possible?

Like this, if the two Black Kings take turns asking for more rice, no matter how capable the cook is, he will not be able to conquer them and will only be exhausted to death.

What's more, Ritsuka couldn't possibly waste his time here.

But how to deal with these two people...

At this moment, the girl with long black hair noticed from the corner of her eye that Jiang Liu took a step forward.

"My two kings, I have something to advise you."

"Why, do you want to beg us to let you go?"

The Sword King narrowed his eyes and said, "What I hate most is people who abandon their companions. Don't make such a request."

"Of course not, I'm not that kind of person."

Jiang Liu smiled and shook his head, his eyes comparing the two kings of sword and spear. His expression gradually became serious, and finally he fell into deep thought.

The Lord of Storm frowned slightly: "Hey, you... your job is "Saber", right?"

"Yes."

"Then let me ask you, Saber."

The Lord of Storms asked seriously, "Why do you look at us with that expression? Are you...looking like that in sympathy?"

"How dare I sympathize with the two kings?"

Jiang Liu pretended to be confused: "I just have a question that I can't decide... This is also something I would like to ask the two kings to consider more."

"What's the matter?" The king holding the holy sword tilted his head, signaling Jiang Liu not to hide anything and just speak boldly.

"Nothing... To be honest, as chefs and helpers, we naturally feel very honored to be able to provide food for the two kings."

Jiang Liu said in a shocking tone: "I have decided to give up challenging this tower and live with my sister as the king's cook!"

"Brother?!"

"Oh?"

The Sword King and the Mist King were both obviously stunned, but they quickly reacted and were greatly excited. Even the Mist King, who rarely showed any expression, slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

"This is a very wise decision. I admire you very much."

“But that presents a problem.”

Jiang Liu said tentatively: "Although we can rely on the Holy Grail to summon ingredients here, this Holy Grail does not seem to be complete."

"Ok?"

"That's true..."

The Sword King and the Mist King both nodded, and it was obvious that they also knew what the "Holy Grail" in their hands was.

Although this golden cup looks complete, it is actually just a fragment of the real Holy Grail, about one-seventh the size.

The Holy Grail is the most advanced magical mechanism. Even its fragments contain a large amount of magic power and can perform some small-scale "miracles". Therefore, the two Black Kings used it to set up tests - in fact, they were looking for a chef who could cook for them.

The servants that were captured by the jailers before basically had no cooking skills and had been imprisoned semi-permanently. The only exception was Tamamo cat, who was a little strange. Although his cooking skills were not bad, his personality was too erratic, causing a lot of trouble for the two of them.

I originally wanted to kill the cat, but out of appreciation for her talent, I decided to keep her and use her as a substitute chef.

Now that they have found Lixiang, who is a great cook, how could they let her go?

"The magic power of this Holy Grail fragment is limited. It does not have the incalculable amount of magic power of the complete Holy Grail."

Jiang Liu showed a worried look: "Using magic power to materialize food is a very consuming process. I am afraid that we cannot provide unlimited food for the two kings."

"Ah this..."

“Will it run out?”

"It's only a matter of time." Jiang Liu pondered, "I can feel the magic power in the Holy Grail fragments starting to weaken now."

"How long can we last?" The Sword King's voice was a little hurried.

"If the amount of food consumed in the future is similar to what we just did, then we can calculate the amount... it should be enough for about 150 people."

Jiang Liu nodded: "If the consumption exceeds this amount, the Holy Grail fragments will basically be unusable."

"What?! Is that all?"

The two kings were horrified and even looked a little distraught.

"That means each person only has 70 or 80 meals to eat..."

Although this is still a large number, enough for an ordinary person to sustain for more than a month, the two Black Kings look as if the world is going to end tomorrow.

"Well, in this case, we can only cherish the next meal..."

"I'm so sorry, Your Majesties. I can't help you, even if you have enough rice. Although the remaining amount is not small, it will only take a few days for Your Majesties to finish it."

After saying that, Jiang Liu seemed to "suddenly" remember something and started muttering.

"Two people can share sixty or seventy portions, but if there is only one person, wouldn't he be able to monopolize all the remaining portions? This is double the amount..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into dead silence.

Li Xiang looked at his brother and slowly opened his mouth, while the old priest stared at him as if he had seen the devil.

Finally, there were the King of Sword and the King of Spear—they didn’t look at Jiang Liu.
