"Miss Seele, it seems to be getting late. Shall I prepare dinner?"
Saeko Busujima stood by the window and glanced at the sky outside. It was already looking a little overcast; before long, night would probably fall completely.
They had only eaten a little breakfast and had not eaten anything since.
"You..."
Seele shifted her gaze to Saeko Busujima. She was not hungry... but she was still accustomed to eating something every day, not to fill her stomach, but to satisfy her cravings.
In life, good food was one of the most important pursuits. If one willingly gave up eating, would that not cut half the fun out of life?
The ancient cultivators who liked to fast did so mainly in pursuit of immortality, and also because most food in ancient times tasted terrible. It merely filled the stomach.
That was why they could give it up so easily.
But if they had been allowed to taste enough delicious food, how many of them would have been willing to fast?
"Come to think of it, I heard you're quite a good cook, Saeko. Do you know how to make Chinese food?" Seele felt that most Eastern Island cuisine was too bland and did not suit her tastes.
Sichuan and Hunan cuisine were her favorites!
"Uh... Chinese food... well..."
Saeko Busujima had been quite confident in her cooking, but Seele's question caught her off guard. She truly was not very proficient in Chinese cuisine.
"It's fine if you don't. Make something you're good at for today first, and then... this is a secret manual for Sichuan cuisine, one of the Eight Great Cuisines of China. Take it and study it. Try to learn it as soon as possible."
"I'll leave my meals to you from now on!"
Seele was not surprised
