"Okay, okay, you can go now, I'm going to the orange grove."
"Um..."
Nojiko picked up her tools and left. Momousagi didn't say anything either, carrying her small package and heading straight out of the village. The boat was already waiting not far away.
She had already contacted them a few days ago using a Den Den Mushi (a type of telephone phone). After boarding the ship, a soldier came over, saluted, and hurriedly said, "Lieutenant General! Breakfast is ready! It's ready anytime..."
Momousagi waved her hand and said, "No need, I've already eaten. By the way... did you tell them I was coming here?"
"No!"
"That's good. Alright, you can go about your business now. Let's set sail back to headquarters."
"Yes!"xn
"Stop!"
"What are your instructions, Lieutenant General?"
"While we're at it, let's wipe out all the pirates that are nearby before we leave."
"Yes! All of them! Prepare for battle! Watch out for pirates on the sea!"
"Yes!"xn
Momousagi simply nodded without saying a word as she watched the soldiers instantly get into character. Back in her rest area, she opened the package Nojiko had given her. But upon opening it, Momousagi paused for a moment, then smiled gently. She was very satisfied with this friend...
The package contained just two simple orange pies and a letter. She hadn't read the letter yet, but when she saw the two orange pies, she knew that regardless of whether the other woman knew her identity, she was willing to be friends with her—trustworthy friends.
Momousagi breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a piece, opened the envelope, and ate while reading. The contents of the letter were equally simple, consisting of only a few short sentences.
"Gion, you're probably eating orange pie and reading this letter right now. Although I don't know who you are, I'm sure you're a Marine. But... that doesn't matter, because I trust you, and I don't think you can beat Shiraha and the others. So, I'll still be your friend."
"I could sense it when I wrote this letter. You must be wondering who those three people are, but I bet you can't guess. And even if you do guess, you probably won't be sure."
"However, you've always said you're not interested in any men. You've met so many people that you see things very clearly, so I feel you'll definitely love the shop."
"Thank you for helping look after the orange grove these past few days. It's been a long time since it's been this lively since Nami left. When you come next time, I'll take you to the shop. You can go there by yourself then, anytime, anywhere. Of course, you can also come find me anytime."
"Don't ask why I wrote it this way, you'll find out when the time comes. Remember one person to come find me. That's all, looking forward to seeing you again. Signed, Nokigo."
Momousagi chuckled and said, "This guy... he guessed it after all. Well... anyone can sense it, right? But... any time, any place? What does that mean? Where exactly is this shop...?"
"Wait...come find her anytime? That's what you mean..."

Chapter 757 Reliable Pickled Mustard Greens Stewed Cod, Alice's Ignition (Please Subscribe~)
Today was a very busy day for everyone, as they needed to process the seafood they had brought back. Although there were many people in the family and a lot of dishes were prepared, there was still quite a lot of seafood.
As soon as Cheng got home, she squatted down next to the box containing the Arctic cod, staring at it with wide eyes, as if she was afraid it would suddenly die.
"Orange, you don't need to keep an eye on it like that. We're home now. Even if it died at noon, we'll start taking care of it this afternoon. It'll be fine."
"Lord Lan, this Arctic cod looks delicious! Lord Baiyu! Lord Baiyu! How should we eat this Arctic cod?"
Bai Yu tilted his head and said, "Hmm... Come to think of it, it seems like it's been a long time since I've prepared any unfamiliar ingredients for you."
"Huh? Honey, something sounds a little off about what you just said?"
Alice thought for a moment and said, "It's that thing you mentioned on the ship before, honey... what was it again, stewed cod? Sister Saki, do you remember?"
"Hmm... Snow Lihong?"
"Yes, yes, yes! That's it! Honey~, is it pickled mustard greens?"
Bai Yu nodded and said, "That's right, it's pickled mustard greens. I've already spoken to WGO. The pickled mustard greens from May should be ready to appear now after three months. If not, pre-pickled ones are fine too."
Orange sniffed and asked, "What is 'Snow Red'? Do you know, Kaguya, Fran?"
Both girls shook their heads. Orange turned to look at Yagokoro Eirin, who also sighed and said, "There's a reason why there's no end to learning. It seems I should learn more about plants when I get back."
"This is a type of mustard green, which is great for stewing fish, especially sea fish. It's a very simple way to improve the flavor. Also, Hisako, your curry dishes are quite good; you've made great progress."
"Huh?! Husband! I wasn't even prepared to do it, how did you know?!"
"sheep."
"Huh?! Husband! How...how did you know? Erina-neechan, did you tell me?"
"Of course not, honey, how did you know? All the food Hisako prepared for the experiment was eaten; there wasn't any left."
"I noticed there were more spices, and the cutting board had a very slight greasiness and muttony smell, so this is a mutton-based curry. I also saw orange peel, so I could roughly guess what kind of dish it was."
An pushed up her glasses and said with some emotion, "Sure enough, there's a reason why my husband is the best cook in the world. When I was rinsing the cutting board earlier, Zdarada complained that the smell was really strong. I didn't expect that even after rinsing it several times, I could still smell it."
"It's just a little trick, Alice. You should hurry up and prepare your dish too."
"Honey! Don't worry! I'm sure I can come up with something that will impress you!"
"That's true, but I wasn't a judge in the qualifiers..."
"Hmm... Anyway, just trust your precious wife! Hmph! The Ten Heroes are a sure thing! No, I have an idea now, I need to study it carefully!"
Watching Alice disappear into the distance, Erina just clicked her tongue and didn't say anything. Why bother with this? Wouldn't it be better to spend more time chatting with her husband?
When it was time to prepare dinner, everyone gathered around to look at the food in the pot. This time, everyone was both expectant and curious.
Yukari Yakumo said with some doubt, "Hey... honey, although I have 100% faith in your cooking skills, but... cod, pickled mustard greens, and tofu, but... oh, and glass noodles, is there nothing else? Is it really delicious?"
Kasugano Sora said earnestly, "Back then, I also thought lionfish stew with radish was pretty ordinary, but it turned out to be surprisingly delicious and very flavorful, so this should be the same..."
Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "Well... a heavy sword has no edge, and great skill is without artifice. This principle also applies to cooking. The best ingredients often only need the simplest cooking methods to show their brilliance."
"That's true, but... I wonder what kind of configuration it will have..."
Bai Yu didn't say anything more. When the dishes were served, Cheng's eyes were practically glowing with excitement. The table was full of seafood and meat, but there weren't many vegetables. Cerberus also got excited.

Orange stared at the large bowl of fish soup in front of her, swallowed hard, and glanced at Bai Yu. Bai Yu smiled and served Orange a bowl. After that, Yakumo Yukari and the others didn't touch their chopsticks and were all watching Orange.
Orange didn't pay any attention, her eyes were full of fish soup. After taking a sip, Orange's ears twitched, and then she just stared blankly at Bai Yu while holding the bowl. Bai Yu smiled and said, "How is it, Orange?"
"Bai... Lord Baiyu! This fish soup! This fish soup! It smells so good! It's so fresh! The fish is also very fragrant! And this dish has a strange taste, but it goes so well together!"
Orange was too young to give a proper evaluation, while Erina and the others exchanged glances and then all began serving themselves soup. After taking a bite, Erina and the others realized that they would never forgive themselves for underestimating dishes made with ingredients they didn't recognize.
There's nothing particularly fancy about it, just absolute freshness, not just ordinary freshness. Cod is a type of sea fish with a very distinct flavor, and Arctic cod has an especially good texture and a subtle sweetness.
This unnamed pickled mustard green has a unique fragrance mixed with a faint sweetness and a unique, subtle spiciness. It also has a high level of freshness, making it even fresher. It doesn't have the bitter spiciness of chili peppers; the spiciness of pickled mustard green is smoother and more inclusive.
This dish, made primarily with just two simple ingredients, produces a fish soup so delicious that it's far more than just the sum of its parts. Its unique aroma is something no other spice can replicate. Just one bite, and the instant impact on your taste buds is an unprecedented sensation.
Enough to shatter any doubts about this dish, Bai Yu watched as Lucifer and the others began to wolf it down in an instant, and simply tilted his head and said softly, "There's still a lot left in the pot, be careful not to get a fish bone stuck in your throat."
"Yes!"xn

Chapter 758 Pandemonica's Dream, The Final Stop (Please Subscribe~)
These past few meals have been incredibly enjoyable for Cheng, with seafood at every meal, and of very high quality at that. It was truly a delightful experience.
After their conversation, both Coco and Farmer were much more relaxed and easygoing. However, Farmer always blushed or avoided eye contact when she saw Bai Yu, while Coco was much bolder. However, she had never been shy before, and now she was much closer to Bai Yu.
"Sigh... this is the last stop. Summer vacation went by so fast..."
Hearing Kasugano Sora's sentiments, the others nodded in agreement. It felt like summer vacation had ended before they even had a chance to experience much of it, especially Alice and the others. They had just become Mrs. Ye and hadn't had much time to spend with her before summer vacation was over, and they were already busy again.
Thinking about it, it really is a bit of a headache, but Sonoko said nonchalantly, "It's not exactly the final stop! After all, there's still a beach! Although going back means it won't be considered summer vacation anymore, it's still fine."
"Sonoko-nee, all you have to do is go to school. You don't need to do the fall selection, you don't need to do the training, and you don't need to do the competition. You're happy now."
"Um... why do I sound so useless..."
Kirari sighed and said, "You should be grateful. Yumeko and I are the ones who are pitiful. So, Yumeko, we can't just play around like this when we get back. We have to take care of these guys right away."
"Yeah! The sooner we finish this, the easier it will be. I think Lily and Luna think so too."
Lily didn't speak, she just nodded. Huangquanyue Luna said casually, "Huh? What does this have to do with me? I'm just a referee, and I have to be fair and impartial, so it's no use you coming to me."
Jabami Yumeko didn't take it seriously, covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Oh... Luna-nee, I hope I can remind you of something."
"What's the matter?"
"What I'm saying is... guess when someone who breaks the family rules will be subject to restrictions within the family?"
Huang Quanyue Luna's heart skipped a beat, and she swallowed hard before saying, "There's even family discipline...?"
"Of course! Otherwise, if my husband hadn't said we couldn't diet to lose weight, and if there weren't any family rules, I bet many of us would have started dieting and controlling our food intake to lose weight. But speaking of which, I really want to say, honey, I always listen to you."
Huang Quanyue Luna swallowed hard and said, "Well... anyway, whether I help or not, it should be fine, right?"
Yukari Yakumo, with a face mask on, leaned against the cushions and said softly, "That's true, but it's normal for sisters to undermine each other. However, if it affects the overall situation, such behavior is, simply put,... a death sentence?"
"That's right!"
"Huh?! So, not helping won't really affect the overall situation."
"I don't know, but if there's something that Kirari and the others need to do, and I happen to be unavailable, then there's a problem. If it's because of a lack of even a little bit of help, then there's a problem, isn't there?"
Huang Quan Yue Luna's eye twitched. Good heavens, it really seemed like a dead end. Wait a minute, shouldn't she have been preparing to do something while observing? So, what Jabami Yumeko and the others meant...
Huang Quanyue Luna blushed and said irritably, "Hmph, I'm very firm about it, okay?"
That's right, Kirari and the others were just reminding Huang Quanyue Luna that they already knew Huang Quanyue Luna liked Bai Yu, so they were practically family to her. They were just teasing Huang Quanyue Luna with those words.
Sonoko turned to Shiroha in the back seat and said, "Honey, our flight arrives at our destination at 8 PM. When are we going to the hotel?"
"Including the time to exit the station and the time spent on the road, it will take about an hour. So you can go and browse the duty-free shop first, and then set off around 10 o'clock. Of course, you can also have a late-night snack at the airport coffee shop."
Everyone nodded, but Marina said somewhat helplessly, "The food at the airport is expensive and tastes terrible. We should just browse the duty-free shops instead. Pander, what did you say you wanted to buy?"
"Hmm? Nothing... I just wanted to buy an ice cream. The Frappuccino I had before leaving was awful. I shouldn't have tried it. It seems everything except my husband's cooking is lacking."
"I've said that Frappuccino is bad for a long time. It's caramel and pumpkin, how could it be good? It's strange to think about."
"Sigh...this is my ambition."
Sona asked with some curiosity, "Sister Pande, what are your ambitions? Is it to become a coffee master? Or to make a drink that surpasses your husband's?"
Pandemonica said earnestly, "No, beyond my husband, I never even dared to dream of a coffee master... My husband will just brew me the best coffee in the world, and I'll just drink it. My ambition is to try all the coffee, milk tea, juice and the like in the world."
"How pathetic..."
Pandemonica said with a serious expression, "This is a very challenging task. I personally feel that it is no less difficult than tasting all the cuisines in the world. After all, who knows what kind of amazing drinks these outrageous, seemingly human beings will come up with."
Hisako said blankly, "Pande-nee, what you're saying sounds like...like a human? What kind of creature is it then?"
"Humans wouldn't have thought of such a terrible drink, so I remain skeptical, but... it should still be primates, so... it's an experiment, a pioneering spirit."
Everyone clapped in disbelief. As expected of Pendermonica, she calmly uttered such words, which was truly outrageous. Bai Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "Wait... why does what you're saying sound so much like Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs?"
“Um… Honey, in a way we are quite similar, so I’m planning to write a book too, so that it will show that I am also a person worth remembering, and that it is a great undertaking.”
“Uh…”xn

Chapter 759 Eri Kisaki's Intuition: Ran Mouri Feels Her Blood Pressure Is High (Please Subscribe~)
Pandemonica had made up her mind, so she had finally found a goal to strive for in the endless future. Therefore, she decided that after returning home, she would first try all the fast food drinks at the store.
"Mom! This hotel is really amazing! It's so beautiful, and the food is delicious too."
“Indeed, Mr. Bai Yu has been a great help. I asked around and found out that you can see the aurora from this floor-to-ceiling window, but it will be a day or two before the best time to observe it begins.”
Ran Mouri and her friends only moved in around noon today. What? Why didn't they move in on the same day? They stayed at the hotel until the next day and also went shopping for some things, so they only arrived around noon today.
Eri Kisaki dried her still-damp hair from her recent shower and said with a smile, "This hotel is really comfortable, perfect for relaxing. No wonder it's Mr. Shiraha."
"Hmm! But... Mom, have you noticed? Why is it so quiet in such a wonderful hotel, where you can see the aurora without even leaving the room? Logically speaking, even if it's incredibly expensive, the hotel should be fully booked during the tourist season. It's like there are no guests at all."
Eri Kisaki shook her head and said, "No, there are residents, but it seems to be a tour group. They booked the hotel in advance, but the group hasn't arrived yet, so there's no one here right now."
"Oh... I knew it. But these kinds of tour groups are probably only booked by people who are quite wealthy. I hope they are all nice people."
"Yeah... but let's just ignore them and enjoy our summer vacation. Xiaolan, get some rest early tonight. Tomorrow we'll go prepare some ingredients and stuff."
"Yeah! I was exhausted from moving here today, and it was so hot. Aunt Yukiko fell asleep right away. I'm so impressed with her. She's always so optimistic. Mom, you are too. Is that what helps you stay young?"
