“You’re going to put it in with the fish?” That was when the others realized.
“Mmhmm. I have a feeling that it’ll enhance the fish's flavor.” His gut was telling him so. Tossing the blade into the pot, he let the fish steam. That was when the aroma occurred. A victorious smile appeared on the man’s face as he stared. I knew it!
“It’s so different now.” There was a salty smell coming from it. The rich scent of the sea was quite incredible. That was when Keith took out the blade fish.
“Steamed blade fish.” Keith was quite curious. The texture was there, but the flavor was lacking before.
Not anymore!
“The blade absorbed a good portion of the sea’s flavors.” It was flavorful and pleasant.
“This is incredible!” Everyone was enjoying the delicious taste of the fish. Paired with the rice was quite something as they continued to enjoy it.
“So tasty,” Carolyn swayed back and forth.
“You’re too happy.”
“But it was tasty and nice.”
“Aren’t you supposed to be seasick?” Last time he checked, this girl was still under those effects.
“Nope, good food always helps out!"
This girl.
...
Keith went to bed. But that was when he was woken up by the large sounds of the waves smashing into the haul.
“Keith, are you up?”
“Mmhmm,” Keith opened the door to see Long Qiqiang, “Is the weather bad?”
“We’re going to be in for a rough one. This storm is actually quite dangerous today?” This was quite an unlucky day.
“We’ll be fine, right?” “With him controlling, we'll get to the island.” That was something they didn’t need to worry about so much. Rough storms were usual.
Keith returned to his room, prepared to go to sleep. That was when there was a knock on his door,
“Lihua? What’s the matter?” Long Lihua’s face paled as she stated, “I can’t find Ayaka.”
“Eh?”
“I checked around, and I couldn’t find her at all.” There were no signs of her at all. This was quite troublesome with a storm like this.
“She has to be on the boat,” There is no way she wasn’t. Not unless she decided to do something stupid and stayed outside like a fool. But that would be impossible.
“You might’ve thrown up, plus going into the sea.” Keith could definitely see that occurring. Actually, it was not that surprising if you gave it some thought.
“Hmpf....Thanks.”
“So you can thank people.” Keith grinned.
“Shut up,” Ayaka’s eyes narrowed, “But do you have any more?”
“Hmm?”
“....Lemon candies.” Those really helped her with the sickness.
“Orange should do the same thing as well,” Keith handed it over to the girl.
“Mmhmm,” Ayaka looked down at the candy. The two quickly headed inside before they could get wet.
“Now, how about we get some sweets,” Keith grinned at the girl, but that caused Ayaka to tilt her head.
That was when they noticed Long Lihua, “Ayaka, where were you? Also, why are the two of them drenched?” They looked like a couple of wet dogs. It was quite something.
“We were out on the deck.”
“Why were you two out there?’ There was something really wrong with that.
“Long story, do you have a towel I can use?”
“Mmhmm,” Keith and Ayaka started to wipe their hair and body.
“Here, let’s have some sweets after doing something crazy,” Then Keith brought out a box of chocolate and truffles.
“What are these?” Long Lihua’s eyes grew curious as she stared at the round things. They were quite an interesting thing as she continued to stare.
“These are made from a plant that I picked. Go ahead and try some. They’re really delicious.”
“Don’t mind me,” Long Lihua bit into one of the truffles. And that was when the chocolate started to melt in her mouth. It was quite soothing, and the taste was rich.
“So delicious.” She savored each chocolate in her mouth. While she continued to munch on them left and right, Ayaka was nibbling on them gently.
A smile appeared as he watched them eat.
...
“Leader, we have word from Lihua and the rest that their boat shall be arriving by tomorrow,” On a dark day, a couple of dragon and fox people stated to two people. They were hidden behind a bamboo mesh. Anyone could tell they were quite mysterious.
“Understood. Bring them over to the council when they arrive.”
