Komatsu's Love Defense

Chapter 131 The Work of the Second Generation

A Lu carefully organized each of his equipment. He carefully checked whether they were in the best condition and skillfully put all the climbing tools into a cross-body backpack.

I took out another spare kitchen knife from my backpack. This knife was extremely sharp. I carefully wrapped it with layers of soft cloth to ensure that the blade would not accidentally scratch A Lu.

When I handed the carefully wrapped kitchen knife to A'lu, a flash of gratitude flashed across his eyes. He held the handle tightly, as if feeling the warmth from me. A'lu put the kitchen knife in his chest pocket, keeping it closely connected to his heart.

Finally, A Lu patted the shoulder strap of the small bag with satisfaction, and after confirming that everything was ready, he resolutely turned around and headed towards his goal, the Snake Cliff 30 kilometers north of Mount Melk.

The afterglow of dusk filled the sky, dyeing the entire sky golden red. A'lu's figure looked even more determined under the reflection of the setting sun.

Melk II and I stood side by side on the towering rocky mountain, watching his back gradually go away. Alu's figure appeared more determined and upright in the afterglow of the setting sun, and his back gradually lengthened in the light and shadow of the evening. Finally, it turned into a small dot and disappeared in the distance.

Melk II stared at Alu's receding back, his eyes fixed on the figure that was gradually disappearing in the distance, and asked me: "Alu... is it really okay for him to go alone?"

I stared at Alu's back that had already disappeared at the end of my sight, and a confident arc appeared on the corner of my mouth: "I believe in Mr. Alu, he will definitely arrive safely!"

Although Snake Cliff is a place full of unknowns and dangers, it is also a great opportunity for A Lu to grow and break through himself. I can only pray silently, hoping that A Lu will be safe and gain more powerful strength from it.

"Chichi..."

While I was talking to Melk II, a sharp and piercing cry suddenly sounded behind me. I was startled and turned around quickly, only to see a black shadow rushing towards me.

When the shadow flew closer, I could see clearly that it was an extremely large blue bat! The bat was huge, with blue fur on its body. Its ears were large and thin, like two wings spread out; its wings were broad and powerful, covered with a thin transparent membrane and slender and tough bones, and every flap brought a gust of wind.

[Little knowledge: Bats are a general term for Chiroptera animals in the class Mammalia, and are mammals that have the ability to fly. ]

At this moment, the bat opened its bloody mouth, revealing two rows of sharp fangs, and pounced towards me with a ferocious look. It was so fast that it was in front of me in the blink of an eye, and a strong sense of oppression came over me.

Melk II turned around suddenly and shouted, "Stop it, Bochiko, he's a guest!"

As soon as I finished speaking, the bat landed in front of me without warning. I saw its wings slowly fold up, its body leaning forward a little, staring down at me.

At this moment, the air around me seemed to freeze, with only the sound of the bat's breathing and the faint airflow generated by its flapping wings echoing in my ears. Faced with this sudden confrontation, a chill rose from my spine and instantly spread throughout my body.

Melk II walked over to me and said with a hint of apology on his face, "I guess I scared you, Chef Komatsu. This guy is a pet vampire Kong named Pochiko."

I swallowed and tried to make my voice sound steady: "So... it's called... Boqizi..."

Melk II slowly walked to the side of Pochiko, stopped, and looked at it gently: "It is a smart and friendly gorilla that can only transport kitchen knives. It was originally a pet that the master loved."

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "So Boqizi is also your right-hand man!"

Hearing this, Melk II smiled gently. He reached out and took a backpack from Pochiko's broad back. The backpack looked heavy, obviously filled with kitchen knives. "This guy is the one who usually takes over the kitchen knives."

Melk II raised his head and looked at Boqizi, his eyes showing deep gratitude and welcome: "Welcome back, Boqizi, thank you for your hard work."

"Puchi!" Pochiko seemed to understand what Melk II said, and it made a low response.

Pochiko turned and rushed towards the round tree nest. In the blink of an eye, it was under the tree and quickly began to climb the trunk.

I saw Pochiko's claws tightly grasping the rough bark, and every movement seemed so skillful and agile. Its body flexibly shuttled on the tree trunk. As it continued to rise, it finally reached the top of the tree-shaped nest.

Pochiko jumped onto the top of the tree-shaped nest. It stood on the treetop with its hands tightly clasped together in front of its chest, and scanned everything around it with a vigilant look.

I looked at Pokiko standing on top of the tree-shaped nest in shock, and was filled with surprise: "So that tree is Pokiko's nest. Even though it has a bat's face, it can't hang upside down!"

Melk II turned around and smiled at me, "Well, let's get to work. We have a lot of commissions for today!"

I showed an expectant expression, nodded and said, "Okay!"

Melk II walked into the workshop carrying a heavy bag. I followed him into the house.

Melk II walked straight to the workbench and slowly placed the bag in his arms on the table. As the bag was opened, a crisp metal collision sound was heard, and a bunch of kitchen knives were placed on the workbench and quickly piled up into a small mountain.

I stood beside the workbench, my eyes fixed on the kitchen knives that were carefully wrapped in cloth.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm my excitement, turned to look at Melk II, and asked with a slightly trembling voice: "Are these all kitchen knives, Mr. Melk?"

Melk II sat at the workbench, his eyes slowly sweeping over the kitchen knives wrapped in cloth. He showed a sense of joy in his eyes and nodded slightly: "Yes, that's right. These are kitchen knives that chefs from all over the world have ordered to be sharpened. We receive nearly 100 knives a day."

Melk II removed all the cloth strips wrapped around the kitchen knives, revealing the various knives underneath. On the workbench, each of the knives was very unique in style.

My eyes lingered on the knives, my heart full of curiosity. I pointed at them and asked, "Mr. Melk, there are so many knives here. Can you tell who owns each one?"

Melk II looked at the kitchen knife on the table, his lips curled up slightly, with a hint of confidence in his eyes: "Hehe, just by looking at the kitchen knife, you can roughly tell who it belongs to!"

I carefully reached out and picked up a kitchen knife on the table. The design of this kitchen knife is quite unique. The upper part of the knife is narrow and delicate, while the lower part gradually becomes wider.

I held the kitchen knife flat in both hands and carefully raised it in front of my eyes. I looked at Melk II and asked curiously, "For example... for example, who owns this kitchen knife that looks like it's emitting a heavy glow?"

Melk II raised his head and his eyes fell on the kitchen knife in my hand. He smiled and pointed his finger at the kitchen knife in my hand and said, "That is the kitchen knife used by Chef Lububu of [Courage]."

I stared at the kitchen knife in astonishment, and the bustling scene on the top floor of the food tower, 312F, emerged in my mind. There, the sign of the Seven Stars Restaurant [Courage] was shining, attracting the attention of countless diners. And at this moment, the kitchen knife in my hand was the one that the legendary owner and chef Lu Bubu had used.

I couldn't believe my eyes, and my voice trembled. "This is the kitchen knife used by the chef, Mr. Rubbu, at the Seven Stars Restaurant on the 312th floor of the Food Tower?"

I held the kitchen knife tightly in my hand, and my hand began to tremble slightly unconsciously. I could only carefully place the kitchen knife on the workbench.

My voice became intermittent, and I could barely utter a complete sentence: "I... I actually... was holding a master chef's knife..."

Melk II slowly picked up a unique kitchen knife. The shape of this knife was different from that of ordinary kitchen knives. It had a sickle-like curved shape.

Melk II smiled and held out his hand, handed the kitchen knife to me and said, "By the way, this is Yuji's kitchen knife from Earth Dragon."

When I think back to that bustling food city, the downtown area [Gourmet Yokocho] comes to mind. There are bright lights and fragrant aromas. Among these dazzling shops, the eight-star grilled offal skewers shop [Dolong] is particularly eye-catching.

I blurted out in surprise, my voice full of disbelief: "That... that turned out to be the kitchen knife of Mr. Yuji, the manager of the Eight Star Grilled Offal Skewers Restaurant [Turyu] in the Lower Town of the Food City [Food Yokocho]!"
