It took a while for Yuuki and Ran to escape from the "child hell" and Stella took "refuge" in the kitchen.
In fact, it was just the first time that the children saw players coming here from other servers, who had repaired the villains that made them afraid to go out, and they were extremely enthusiastic.
But Yuuki and Ran, who are not kindergarten teachers, cannot cope with it for a long time after simply making the children happy. Moreover, the easiest thing to do to make the children happy is to play with weapons - in this reality
It's a surefire way to piss off or scare parents, and they'll be embarrassed to set a bad example for their children who still have hope of returning to reality.
However, they who were looking for something to talk about were dumbfounded at this time - after seeing Stella cooking like a war.
They had seen Crounpis cook a big pot of rice, but Stella had a completely different style.
It seems that all the system operation interfaces that can be pulled out of various kitchen equipment are brought out, from bottles and jars pretending to be ingredients to pots and pans for holding ingredients.
Most of the food prepared for the children is quite simple, such as bread and potatoes, but Stella peels the potatoes and cuts the bread very carefully - as if she is worried that if she peels too much, the children or bread will be hungry.
Any unevenness would be unfair.
When it comes to the ingredients that add flavor to the staple food, Stella fine-tunes the ingredients with an accuracy of 0.1%.
Multiple tasks were carried out side by side, as if the meal time could not be postponed for a second, Stella moved back and forth in the kitchen with afterimages.
Obviously, players can make initial actions just like using skills, and then everything will be handled automatically by the system.
"Stella-san is really amazing. Technically, I didn't lose unjustly."
"No, I'm still far away. After discovering the auxiliary effect of [Phantom Book Technique] on cooking, I can finally understand what the world of cooking is like in the eyes of Shuna-sama, although I still can't do it now.
But sooner or later I will be able to break out of these frameworks and use my own hands to achieve this state!" Stella looked full of enthusiasm.
"Need help?" Lan asked kindly.
"No, it's not necessary! If you have to rely on the help of outsiders for this level of practice, I won't have the face to serve the best food to that gentleman!"
Fuse also came running, bent down at a 90-degree angle and said: "Absolutely, absolutely not even a Kel will default on the debt. Once you finish the things at hand, go and make money immediately!"
Although it was actually the other party who was being unreasonable, because there were too many children here, it made Yuuki and Ran, who were being reasonable, feel a sense of guilt.
"Well, if you really don't have any spare money, it doesn't matter if you don't pay it back... On the other hand, if you are willing to accept our employment, we will be very happy." Lan took the opportunity to make her initial request.
"Really? Is it valuable work?" Fushu immediately straightened up and asked excitedly.
"It's hard to say what it's worth, but I think it's meaningful work," Lan said.
Then she omitted the key information and gave a general summary, that is, their companions were maliciously kidnapped by others, because the possible place of imprisonment was very troublesome, and the combat power was not enough. It was not impossible to accidentally cause a large-scale meaningless conflict.
, so it is difficult for them to make a difference on their own, so they hope to get help from the residents of Aincrad.
"There is such a thing, you can't just say you didn't see it, right, Stella!"
"That's right, we can't tolerate it. Let's go rescue people together when Nim comes back!"
The two people with a lot of muscles in their heads immediately became excited.
But Foss had to pour some cold water on themselves: "It may not be possible to wait for Nimue to come back... Stella, please take a look at Nimue's condition."
Stella inexplicably clicked on the teammates column and found that Nim was actually shown in the maze mission, unable to communicate or sleep.
"Fell asleep during the mission? It's incredible that Nimue would take the initiative to find a mission. The latter is very similar to what Nimue would do, but doesn't it matter?"
"It doesn't matter. Nimu is more sensitive to danger than the rest of us. I'm more worried that she will fall asleep and forget her mission. If she doesn't come back and we leave, who will take care of the children?"
"Just train them until they are not afraid of those villains, right?"
"It's only possible to do it so quickly. Those people will wipe out all the monsters suitable for children to practice."
"Let me interrupt a bit, is there no one else here willing to help?" Yuuki interjected, the world should not be this bad.
Fosse: "There were still some at first, but they all ran away due to the pressure from those villains."
Stella: "They are just a bunch of cowards, but after all, they are ordinary human beings. Unlike us, it is not easy for them to survive here, and we cannot blame them."
When Yuuki didn't know what to do, Ran, who was already operating the interface, asked, "Excuse me, can you bring up the map to confirm where your friend is?"
"It's okay to say that." Foss opened the menu and selected his own map visualization and then turned to Lan.
"Fortunately, there is some distance but not outside the circle. Since we are still in the team, we can use the transfer crystal to go there." Lan said.
"Transfer crystal, oh, that kind of thing that the human race who calls themselves players hoards because of their timidity, how can we have that kind of thing." Stella said casually.
Or should I say that non-players are not allowed to explode that kind of props while fighting monsters.
"Then, let me lend it to you." Lan took out two transfer crystals, "After you finish cooking, go help your friends, as long as you are willing to leave this place to us temporarily."
"Isn't crystal expensive?"
"It doesn't matter. If you are willing to help us in the future, we will be very happy."
"Say thank you!"
But something embarrassing happened next. After Stella finished her work in the kitchen, Fosse and her tinkered with the crystal as the players did, but there was no response.
"Sister, why do you think they (NPCs) can use crystal transfer?"
"Xiaoyou, I just sent a message to ask 'Mouse', and she said that the NPC transfer mechanism is indeed prepared. If it doesn't work here, then the player must take it."
Then there was a moment of silence, and none of the sisters could say anything about leaving all the work here to one person.
"If you don't mind, let me go?"
Yuuki and Ran looked out the window in surprise, and found that it was actually Merida. She had indeed not followed before, so she crossed the malicious door blocking area alone?
Merida did not take their surprised expressions as surprise about her arrival, and explained: "Oh, those people responsible for blocking the road all wear heavy armor and carry heavy weapons. Agi can't be high, so I just have to jump over and run.
Just find an opportunity to enter a blind spot and use [Concealment] to get rid of them."
