Night had fallen, but Kyoto was still brightly lit. Everyone was diligently working at their posts.
Wu Liang's anguished howls kept coming from the lab. It was proof that one person's misery wasn't always shared by others!
At the temporary camp, Zhong Yingxue had tied up her hair and was tossing vegetables in a large wok.
For once, the air was filled with the warmth of everyday life.
Wildcat glanced at the mouthwatering ribs in Zhong Yingxue's wok, then looked down at the blackened lump in her own pot, which was billowing clouds of smoke...

Wildcat blushed and nodded repeatedly.

The platelet giggled. ( ?? ? ?? ) "So even Captain Meow has things she's bad at?"
Wildcat blushed even harder. She was usually out on missions, living on compressed rations and instant food. How would she know how to cook?
The table was already laden with a feast. Times were tough, but no matter what, they had to eat well on New Year's Eve!
After all, everyone had worked so hard all this time. They deserved one night to relax!
Zhong Yingxue wiped her nose with the back of her hand. "Where's Xiao Nan? Once I finish this dish, everything should be ready. Where did he go?"
Xia Yao poked her head halfway out of a tent, looking baffled. She stared at the food on the table, practically drooling, and frowned.
|??~?? )? "No idea where he went. I looked all over and couldn't find him!"
Just as everyone was wondering, Jiang Nan suddenly appeared beside the camp, with Liu Mang in tow!
His eyes were full of excitement!
(??????) "Wow! You're cooking? Hehe~
