As a general, she cannot be a good daughter of Kage.

"Haha...it sounds good...Kage-sama loves to eat, and since the general cooks it himself, it will definitely be excellent food."

Ayaka smiled sweetly at her, like a little girl looking forward to her mother's cooking.

Then came the process of making pizza... They bought the ingredients directly from Ms. Kinan. Fortunately, Ms. Kinan had some of the rare ingredients they needed, and they were very complete. It is indeed a famous restaurant in Hanamizaka.

First mix enough flour with the ingredients, then oil the bottom basin, spread a layer of rich-flavored pizza sauce mixed with tomatoes, then sprinkle with soft cheese, and put seafood, sausages, cured meats, and ham on top. , meat cubes, mushrooms, green peppers, pineapple and other fresh fillings, and finally put them into the oven to bake for 5 to 7 minutes. At the same time, she also specially fried a piece of bacon in a frying pan, chopped it with a knife and spread it on the cake. , ending up at the edge of the plate decorated with greens.

Okay... In this way, she finished making a fairly delicious 9-inch pizza.

"Wow...it's really delicious. It makes me salivate when I smell it."

Linghua had been observing the production steps. When she saw the finished product, her ice-blue eyes were filled with radiant excitement. The meat on the surface of the freshly baked pizza was even filled with fragrant fried bubbles.

"You are truly worthy of being a general..."

She and her brother were both fascinated by the General's cooking skills. They had eaten each other's cooking in the past, and it could be said that they were extremely happy at that time.

If...ahem...what if...she marries the General one day, will she be able to eat such delicious food every day?

"You two, how are you busy?"

After serving the dishes to the guests, Miss Munan came to the two of them again to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, she smelled the delicious aroma of pizza the next second. She quickened her pace slightly and looked over curiously.

She had never smelled that aroma before. With her many years of cooking experience, she could tell it was the smell of exotic cuisine without even looking at it. It was the kind of delicious food that makes people salivate when they smell it!

"Oh, this is...Miss Kamisato, is this the food you want?"

She looked at Linghua with some joy and excitement.

"That's right, this is...ahem...exotic food prepared by my friend for me. Miss Munan, can you please pack it?"

Ayaka smiled bitterly in her heart as she almost spilled the beans.

"of course can!"

After Ms. Munan nodded, she took out the packaging box from the store, walked to the colorful round cakes that were perfectly placed on the plate, and observed them carefully.

"Hmm~ It smells so good! It must be a very delicious dish, ah... I also want a dish like this in our store."

Miss Munan looked at the pizza in front of her longingly and sighed.

"this…"

Ayaka was a little troubled. She didn't do this in the first place. The general did it for her, so she had to get the other party's consent.

"Okay, I can write you a recipe if you want."

However, the general agreed decisively without thinking.

"Is that really okay?! Wow...thank you so much!"

Miss Kinan was moved and bowed to her. As expected, this gentleman is very gentle, just like Miss Kamisato. No wonder the two are friends, it’s such a perfect match~!

Ayaka smiled happily when she heard this...it was indeed the General.

"No need to say thank you. It's time to expand the content of Inazuma's dishes. Absorbing the essence of other countries' cuisine is also a kind of learning."

As the Raiden General, she should also contribute to Inazuma's catering.

"Yeah! You are really far-sighted... I will learn to make and sell this dish in the future, and I will also post its advertisement in the most conspicuous place!"

"After all... since the lockdown... everyone hasn't tasted new dishes for a long time. Then I'll go pack the food first. After you two finish your work, come to the dining area."

Miss Munan carefully carried the plate with pizza and left towards the kitchen, leaving the two of them behind again.

"Sir General, you have made a contribution to Ina Wife again. Thank you for your hard work."

Ayaka then looked at her and said happily, this kind of food that should be sold at a high price was given so selflessly by the woman in front of him. Is this the tenderness of the General in taking care of his people?

"It's so hard to handle the responsibilities that I have to deal with."

She shook her head slightly and answered.

"Master General..."

"Huh... let's go and eat with me."

"Um…"

Ayaka nodded obediently and followed behind.

After the two of them finished eating, time flew by to about six o'clock in the evening. The golden fire clouds gradually revealed a luster like a sea of ​​fire from the distant sky, coating Hanamizaka with a layer of warm golden gauze.

The general handed the handwritten recipe to Miss Munan. The recipe written in Juanli's elegant calligraphy was like a treasure, and she couldn't put it down.

Ayaka also picked up the packaged pizza and said goodbye to Miss Kinan with the general, and set off on her way to see Miss Chun again.

Just like that... according to the location on the note, the two of them arrived at the destination... which is——

In a natural cave near the beach below the cliff of Inazuma Castle.

By the way...is this location really correct?

It was almost seven o'clock in the evening when the two arrived, and the sky was already pitch black. Under the blowing of the cold wind, the seawater with waves slapped on the beach from time to time, making a "swishing" sound.

"..."

Ayaka flipped through her notes and looked up at the marked location, then looked up at the huge cave in front of her, looking a little troubled.

"This doesn't look like a place where people could live."

The general who helped Ayaka pack the kimono narrowed his eyes slightly and said suspiciously.

She had some doubts from the beginning...How could the marked location be below Inazuma Castle?Because she was very sure that the entire Inazuma Castle was located on the surface of a sloping hill. There was nothing but beach caves and crabs below the hill. How could it be a place to live?

"But... what the notes say is indeed right here. Could it be that... there is a secret passage?"

Ayaka held her forehead and made some wild guesses.

"...Let's go take a look first."

She took the first step and walked into this quiet cave hidden by the mountains of Inazuma Castle.

"Um…"

Ayaka then followed.

This cave is very huge. Perhaps due to the color of the sky, there is a sense of darkness inside. The moonlight shines vaguely on the stone walls and water along the entrance of the cave. Fireflies in the grass are also dancing in pairs, which makes it feel dreamy for a while. .

Ayaka was not idle during this period, but kept looking through her notes, as if she didn't want to miss any words.

"Ah, yes..."

She seemed to have seen some clues and quickly followed the general.

"The crane brought a flower to decorate the hair, and the white rabbit sewed four pieces of moonlight into a skirt. I dressed up properly, shouted the name 'Chun' seven times to the east, and in a blink of an eye, I was standing on the path to her house. .”

He read this sentence clearly to the general with a pleasant voice, and finally looked at her.

"Tsubaki..."

After hearing the name, the general lowered his eyes and held his chin in thought.

"Hmm... maybe this is..."

"Hints to the puzzle."

The two of them spoke in perfect harmony, connecting each other's words without any gaps.

"...Poof."×2

Both of them were stunned for a moment and then looked at each other and smiled.

The tone of this sentence and the usage of words are something Kamari Kadai could come up with at first glance, but... what does it mean?

There were only two beauties smeared by the moonlight in such a quiet cave. They were thinking quietly. Occasionally, a few crabs would pass by their feet, making a delicate rustling sound, along with the ethereal sound of the waves. The tranquil atmosphere that belongs to this atmosphere is mixed and intertwined.

"The most obvious clue now is the word 'East'. Why not go to the east side of the cave and have a look?"

"Um…"

Ayaka nodded and followed the woman in front of her towards the east of the cave. When passing by a stream, she was gently held by her hand and crossed little by little, as if she were taking a child, which warmed her heart.

During the process, she was still thinking about the meaning of this sentence. In addition to 'East', there must be some kind of hint. After all, as the daughter of Kamisato Hanadai, she knows her mother best.

She had a hunch... what they wanted to see might not be 'Chun', but something else more important.

Chapter of the Snow Crane ~ Narration of the Crane and the White Rabbit ~ : Chapter 69 Greetings from 'Chun'

There are three piles of rubble piled up in the cave. They originally thought that these stones had no great use, but under the keen observation of the two people, they discovered a slight violation, that is, the three piles of rubble happened to be in the west, The positive directions of south and east, and the distance between them is also very clever, as if they were specially divided.

"I dressed up properly and shouted the name 'Chun' seven times to the east."

The general lowered his chin with his finger and whispered the sentence referring to 'East'.

Since these stone piles are incompatible with the environment, it is very likely that they are clues. Since the three stone piles are located in the west, south, and east, the east mentioned in the sentence refers to the stone piles in the east direction.

"Let's go try it, General."

Ayaka seemed to have noticed this information and walked over with her.

The stone pile in the east direction is on a stone pool above the stream. The two of them still need to climb a hill to reach it. During the process, the general held the hand of the girl behind him to prevent her from falling. Although Ayaka was not what the general thought, So weak, but still didn't break free out of selfish motives.

"We're here...here is the pile of rocks to the east."

In front of them was a large pile of rocks several times taller than the two of them.

"Since the number 'seven' is mentioned in this sentence, then...should we shout 'Chun' seven times?"

she asked.

"No...calling 'Chun' here should be just a metaphor."

Ayaka reasoned as she looked at the words on the note.

The general looked at the stone and reached out to touch its surface, opening her elemental vision. Based on the reflected ripples, she could feel that the stone was hollow inside.

Tap lightly.

Knock~! !

"!" × 2

Different from ordinary stones, the sound made by this stone is very clear, and the echo lingers in the empty cave, as sweet as a musical instrument.

The two looked at each other and understood something instantly.
