Conan's winery play house

Chapter 54 The end of the second level

There is a large pot, or rather... a large jar, on the ground beside the canyon.

The water inside is steaming.

"Next, just cook it, but... undercooking or overcooking will affect the taste of the egg." Men Qi reminded from the side.

"I know." The white-haired boy put the pile of eggs in his arms into the big jar without hesitation.

Dafu on the side also followed suit.

Then his eyes under the sunglasses stared at the eggs in the hot water.

Screams and wails continued to be heard from below the canyon.

Grape Spider Vultures appear and attack those who are stealing their eggs.

Under their offensive, many players fell from the spider webs.

He fell into the deep river below and was swept away by the current.

"Very good, cooked." Aito quickly picked up the spoon and picked up the eggs in the order they were put into the water.

Dafu caught him with his arm.

The calm and reliable Killer Bear doesn't care at all that the eggs he just fished out are still very hot.

"Huh -" Aito held an egg and blew on it, trying to cool it down.

Keep switching positions between your hands.

"Hufu--" He blew a few more times.

Then the eggshell was peeled off.

Looking at the plain egg, I took a bite.

"Ah...well——"

"This taste..." He chewed a few times.

"How is it? It's delicious," Menqi said from the side.

Be prepared to explain a bunch of life experiences to the other party.

For example, the feeling of getting the ingredients with your own hands and making them with your own hands is different... and so on.

"It should be delicious." Aito nodded confidently.

Sure enough, he still couldn't taste the difference between good and bad food.

Although he can make so-called perfect luminous dishes, he himself cannot taste how delicious it is.

But it’s not a big problem, as long as you don’t starve to death.

Menqi suddenly couldn't express the principles of life that she had already thought about.

Delicious means delicious, what should it mean?

"Let me give you a taste." Aito peeled another egg and fed it to the cookie.

"Is it delicious?" he asked, touching the cookie's head.

"Wow——" The cookies looked so delicious that I almost shed tears.

"Do you like eating so much..." The young man smiled softly and happily.

It seems as if watching the Shiba Inu eating happily makes me feel sincerely happy.

[The system has included the meat of the wild boar and the eggs of the grape spider vulture.]

[Can be purchased in the system mall.]

The system suddenly prompted.

Aito clicked on the mall and took a look, and found that two more products were indeed highlighted in the ingredients list.

However, most of them are still gray and cannot be purchased.

"In this way, we can make it for everyone to try in reality." The white-haired boy smiled extremely satisfied.

"Boom." Dafu stuffed the remaining eggs into his clothes.

In fact, it was received in the system backpack.

Aito spent some emotional points and opened two more grids.

This way, no matter when you take it out next time, these eggs will be freshly cooked and steaming hot.

Gon, Killua, Kurapika, Leorio and other candidates also came back with eggs.

Carefully put it into the pot, keep an eye on it, and be ready to fish it out at any time.

Menqi then turned his target to them.

Since you can't reason with No. 401, you can only talk to others.

After all, she had already thought about what to say.

So she spoke confidently and tolerantly.

He told everyone around him with a convinced expression on his face.

Even number 255, who popped up several times in a row, was silent for a long time.

Then he said: "I will come again next year."

"So, the number of people who passed this exam is - 42." Menqi announced.

[Congratulations to the player for successfully passing the second level.

Archiving current progress——

Archive completed.]

[About to exit the game——]

[Today’s game time has run out, host please come back tomorrow.]

Aito opened his eyes and saw the living room of his home.

The clock on the wall shows that it is one o'clock in the afternoon.

He has been playing since eight o'clock in the morning.

"You can still practice the piano for two hours." Aito took Dafu's hand and walked towards the piano room.

He and Dafu sat side by side on the piano bench, with the cookie lying on Dafu's hat.

Aito put his hands on the keyboard and closed his eyes.

Liszt's Twelve Transcendental Etudes.

The fifth song - "Will-o'-the-wisp"

Song Six - "Phantom"

Song Eight - "Hunting"

And the last song - "Snowfall"

These are the four etudes that Aito played the most.

The ten fingers shuttled between the black and white keys as nimbly as ghosts.

It’s completely invisible that when I first started practicing, my fingers were uncoordinated, as if I couldn’t even use my hands.

In the quiet afternoon, the golden sunlight falls into the house through the windows, and you can see tiny spots of light.

The boy turned his back to the sun, closed his eyes and played music to himself, with a gentle and satisfied smile on his face.

Although his back is to the sun, he is still surrounded by it.

"I practice every day. If I suddenly stop one day, my fingers will feel stiff." Aito let go of the hand pressing the keys, raised his hand in front of him, bent his fingers, and observed

Down.

"Although I know it's just an illusion, if I don't practice, I will be bored."

Whether it is in the United States, or in the laboratory in Japan, or in this house where I live now.

He is alone most of the time.

And there is nothing to do.

Practicing the piano is an activity he can do every day.

When he was in the United States, he would sometimes even practice the piano for a whole day.

Because there are neither tasks nor anything else to do, and even chatting, there is no one to talk to.

"Fortunately, Cookie and Dafu are with me now." He said this and hugged the big bear beside him.

Dafu's bear had the same expression on his face as he raised his hand and touched the boy's hair.

Cookie turned over on his hat and tried to make Aito laugh.

The young man did laugh.

But rather than saying that he was amused, it would be better to say...

Because she knew Cookie was trying to make him laugh, so she laughed.

"The piano is over, it's time to practice the violin. As for today..." He stood up and took out the violin from the piano case on the side.

"Let's practice Skylark." He decided happily.

"Will Dafu accompany me?" he said, looking at Big Bear.

The calm bear raised his paw, looked at his "fingers" that were about as thick as piano keys, and tentatively poked the keys.

…

The blond man was walking on the road, still some distance away from the house, but he also heard the faint sound of music.

And as he got closer, what he heard became clearer.

When he walked downstairs, he looked up at the location of the piano room on the third floor.

You can vaguely see a figure through the floor-to-ceiling windows, sitting in front of the window with his back to the window, playing the violin.

The music is lively and upbeat.

"The Skylark" by Danikou.

In addition to the violin, there is also piano accompaniment.

The violinist is Avicier.

That accompanist...who is it?

Are you also a member of the organization?
