"Ah."
"Ok."
Bai Ke and Tuya responded one after another, then they put down the dishes in their hands and sat down.
Bai Ke sat next to Hestia, while the other two sat opposite.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's start having dinner now."
When everyone was seated, Hestia started the conversation.
Because Lililuka was still sleeping, Hestia didn't make as much noise as usual. She just opened her mouth and made a small opening.
After saying that, Hestia picked up the fork, picked up a piece of salad, and put it into her mouth.
With the Lord God taking the lead, the people present also started to eat.
Tuya scooped a spoonful of fried rice with a spoon and put it into her mouth.
You can feel the distinct grains of food in your mouth, and then as you chew it, the fragrance of the rice grains, the sweetness of the corn, the freshness of the small pieces of meat, the aroma of the oil... all these flavors mix together, creating a wonderful reaction.
good to eat.
These two big words appeared in Tuya's mind. After chewing the food in her mouth slowly, she gave Hestia a thumbs up and praised:
"Goddess Hestia, your cooking skills are absolutely amazing! The fried rice is so delicious, and the other dishes must be even more delicious!"
Chapter 151: Reason
"Of course. How can the food I cook not be delicious?"
In response to the praise, Hestia said with a somewhat smug smile.
"You can try this dish. I feel it is the best dish I have ever made. Its taste will definitely surpass other dishes."
Then, Hestia pointed at a dish on the table and recommended it.
"Then I must taste it."
Tuya nodded and said.
In the following time, the atmosphere at the table became particularly lively, and the three women were recommending and discussing to each other which dishes tasted best.
Bai Ke was the only one there, quietly eating the food on the table, not joining in the discussion with the three women.
Although the atmosphere at the table was very lively, everyone was sensible and did not make too much noise for fear of disturbing Lilyluka's rest.
After a while, the dinner came to an end.
At this moment, most of the food on the table, enough to feed seven or eight people, had been eaten. The three women had put down their chopsticks, leaving only Bai Ke finishing the leftovers.
"Phew~ I'm so full."
Tuya slumped in the chair, touched her slightly bulging belly, and let out a breath.
"Sister Tuya, overeating like this is bad for your stomach."
Liya, who was standing by, couldn't help but say something of concern when she saw her captain like this.
"The food made by Goddess Hestia is so delicious, I couldn't resist~"
Tuya smiled, then waved her hand and said:
"Besides, it only happens once in a while, so the harm to the body is not that great."
"Okay." Leah's pointed ears drooped and she didn't continue talking about this matter.
"Overeating is not a good thing. For the sake of your health in the future, Tuya, you must stop eating and drinking like this."
Seeing this, Hestia couldn't help but say something in a lecturing tone. Although she said this, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and it was obvious that she was not being sincere.
After all, being praised for the deliciousness of your cooking is a happy thing.
"Hmm."
Facing Hestia's sermon, Tuya nodded casually and continued, "I know Goddess Hestia, this is just a once in a while. If it weren't for the delicious food you cooked, I wouldn't be like this."
"It's good to know."
The smile on Hestia's face never disappeared.
"By the way, I bought some fruit while shopping today. It's perfect as after-meal fruit. Please wait for a moment."
At this time, Hestia seemed to remember something, stood up and said something, then turned and walked into the kitchen.
Because Hestia's action was so fast, by the time Tuya and Liya reacted, she had already entered the kitchen to prepare a fruit plate.
"This... forget it."
Tuya opened her mouth and looked at the figure busy in the kitchen. It was difficult to dissuade him, so she finally gave up the idea of stopping him. Liya next to her did the same as Tuya.
"Bai Ke, is it really okay for you to eat so much?"
Tuya withdrew her gaze from the kitchen and saw Bai Ke still eating the food on the table slowly, and couldn't help but ask a question.
Although she didn't pay much attention while eating, Bai Ke must have eaten a lot of food, and now he is still eating, which makes Tuya a little worried.
Liya, who was standing by, also looked at him with concern when she heard this.
"I have a big appetite, so this amount of food is no problem at all."
Bai Ke swallowed the food in his mouth, then shook his head and said, although he did not tell the truth, it was not a lie.
"Is that so? Then you should be more careful."
Since she didn't know the truth, Tuya still didn't quite believe it, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only try to persuade him.
"Ah."
Bai Ke responded casually and then asked:
"Tuya, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"It's a big deal indeed."
Hearing this, Tuya felt that it was time to talk about business, so her expression became serious, she put her hands on the table, and straightened her body.
Just, the next second.
Because Tuya had eaten too much, this intense movement made her stomach feel a little bloated.
Then, Tuya's body stiffened, and then her straight body bent down, but the serious expression on her face did not retract.
To the extent that this scene now seems a little bit incongruous, making the atmosphere here become quiet.
Ah…this…
Looking at this very incongruous scene, the corners of Bai Ke's mouth twitched and showed a tendency to rise, but it was directly suppressed by his will, and he asked:
"Tuya, are you okay?"
"Sister Tuya, are you okay?!"
Bai Ke's words instantly awakened Liya, who was stunned by this sudden incident. She immediately held Tuya's shoulders in a panic and asked.
"fine."
After being helped to sit back down, Tuya waved her hand, and then seeing that the situation was a bit awkward, she immediately changed the subject:
"Let's continue with the previous question."
After saying that, Tuya no longer let Liya support her. She sat back on the chair in a relaxed manner as before. Then she maintained a serious expression and said:
"Bai Ke, something unexpected happened with the matter you entrusted us with yesterday."
"what happened?"
After hearing the news, Bai Ke perked up and asked.
"Here's what happened. This morning we followed the intelligence you gave us and went to that location to ambush the last finger of the Six Fingers, but no one showed up for a long time."
"So, we sent people to explore the surrounding area, and finally found a pile of dead bodies in a hidden place far away. After comparison, we found that these people were the members of the last finger among the six fingers."
After introducing the situation here, Tuya's expression became a little solemn, and she continued:
"According to our investigation, these people have been dead for a day or two. They died before our operation last night."
After hearing this, a doubt in Bai Ke’s mind was answered. No wonder the mission to eliminate the enemies yesterday was completed directly. He felt a little strange at that time.
It turned out that the remaining finger outside had been killed long ago for unknown reasons, so the mission would be completed directly after he killed the six fingers in the city.
One doubt was answered, but a new doubt arose.
Who is the person who will eliminate the finger outside the six fingers in advance?
Why do this?
What's the purpose?
Since there are no clues, there are too many directions to speculate on this matter, such as a righteous person who is dissatisfied, a colleague who took action, an accidental encounter with a murderer... There are too many possibilities.
So, Bai Ke thought about it and gave up thinking about it. Then he asked, "Do you have any clues about this matter?"
"There are no clues."
Tuya shook her head directly and continued:
"The way they killed those people was very professional. They were basically killed with one strike, and there weren't many clues left."
“Is that so…?”
Bai Ke murmured, and then he said:
"Since there are no clues or anything, let's put this matter aside for now."
Although the technique is neat and simple, this can also be considered a clue.
However, Bai Ke is not a very smart person. He can't find the person behind this matter based on these clues.
So he didn't ask about this aspect in detail.
I simply chose to give up investigating this matter.
"I think so too."
Hearing this, Tuya nodded and said.
"However, we still need to be on guard against this matter, so as not to be caught off guard by a sudden attack."
Bai Ke added.
"I know about this, thank you for reminding me."
Tuya responded that she naturally knew about this matter and had made arrangements for it, so there was no need to worry about it.
"Everyone, time to eat fruit."
At this moment, a not-so-loud shout came from the side. It was Hestia who came out of the kitchen with a fruit plate and headed towards here.
"Tuya, Bai Ke, Liya, today I met a vendor selling dungeon fruits. I bought some and now I'm making a fruit platter for you to try."
Seeing that Hestia was about to arrive, Leah quickly stood up and stacked some empty plates on the table, put them aside, and made room for the fruit plate.
"Liya, thank you for your help."
Hestia thanked him casually, then she placed the fruit plate on the table and said:
"Everyone, come and try it."
In addition to the common cut fruits on the plate, there are also several kinds of fruits that look very different. Obviously, these are the fruits produced in the dungeon.
"it is good."
Bai Ke responded casually, then reached out and used the toothpick in the fruit bowl to pick up a purple piece of fruit and put it into his mouth.
As you take a sip, an extreme sweet and sour feeling spreads on the tip of your tongue. There is sweetness in the sourness and sourness in the sweetness. With the neutralization of the two, it does not feel too sour or too sweet. Instead, it has a special flavor and is very delicious.
"It's delicious."
Bai Ke nodded and gave a casual compliment.
"Tuya, Liya, you guys try it too."
Hestia said to the two girls with a smile.
"Ok."
