Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

So Delicious That I Cry

The deer meat was washed clean, and the seemingly weak body of the stork could easily carry an entire deer on a bamboo pole. She flipped the body of the deer skillfully, then took out a small bag at her waist and sprinkled the powder inside evenly.

“This smell…”

As the spices were sprinkled, Leda, who ate almost all of East Blue and the first half of the Grand Line, wrinkled her nose, closed her eyes, and said, “What a soft taste, the fragrance is so strong.”

“Yes, this is my own spice.”

The stork smiled and said, “It will not cover the sweet taste of the venison itself. Instead, it will be mixed with the fragrance of the venison.”

“Oh? You’ve never been out of here…”

Kuro also moved his nose and nodded in approval. “To be able to make such a high-quality spice without systematic learning, it’s really amazing.”

“What? You want me to go pee with you? And find a place to build it?”

Stork was stunned and said awkwardly, “If it’s a toilet, the nearby woods are okay. There’s no need for a lid.”

“…”

You did it on purpose!

Why did you answer Leda so well before!

“I will be an idiot if I talk to you again!” Kuro glared at her.

“Mr. Kuro…”

Outside, Crowe and a few Marines came back carrying a few deer. “That’s all we got.”

Kuro turned to look and nodded. “It’s done.”

“Wow, so many deer!” A group of children circled Marine excitedly.

“Hey, Marine, are these all for us?” Suzhan pointed at the deer excitedly and asked Kuro.

“Don’t misunderstand, it’s just that we are hungry and need a lot of food. It has nothing to do with you. If there is any left, then I will give it to you.” Kuro said lightly.

“Eh… Is that so?” Suzhan looked disappointed. “Uncle, are you so stingy?”

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

Uto glared at the lamp and bowed to Kuro. “Thank you very much, Marine.”

“It’s very fragrant…” Crowe also wrinkled his nose and looked at the golden venison. The fragrance completely spread out, causing Marine to swallow his saliva.

It looked like it was delicious.

Seeing this scene, Suzhan smiled proudly and said, “The dishes made by Sister Taki are very delicious!”

He opened his hands and said in a tone of admiration, “It’s the best in the world!”

“Done.”

At this moment, the stork paid attention to the fire and said, “It’s ready to eat.”

Hearing this, a group of children took the lead to surround it. A child reached out to touch the deer meat and then shrank back. “It’s hot!”

“I’ll do it!”

Haki appeared in Leda’s palm and she grabbed a deer leg and tore it off. The roasted golden deer leg flowed with the tearing action and splashed onto the fire, making the flame stronger.

She took the deer leg and thought for a moment. She tore the deer leg in half and handed it to Kuro. “Here, Kuro, let’s split it.”

“You guys eat first.”

Kuro glanced at the drooling children and said, “I don’t have much appetite for the time being.”

“Eat first, Marine, without you, we can’t eat this deer.”

Su Cheng said to Kuro, “Sister’s cooking is really delicious, so delicious that… so delicious that I will cry!”

“How good can a barbecue be? I don’t believe it.” Kuro rolled his eyes.

With that, he did not refuse. He took the deer leg from Leda and took a bite, chewing it.

With just one bite, Kuro’s eyes became dull and he chewed mechanically. His nose wrinkled and his eyes turned red.

“So gentle!”

Marine, who was given food, had just eaten. Immediately, someone cried and shouted, “It’s too gentle, it reminds me of Mom!”

“Wuwuwu, I miss home!”

“Me too. My home is in the South China Sea. I miss Mom’s scolding…”

Marines who had eaten meat all burst into tears.

On the other hand, after those children got the meat, they ate very quietly, but all of them showed very quiet smiles, as if they had some hope.

Kuro swallowed the food in his mouth and stared blankly at the deer leg in his hand.

That mouthful reminded him of some scenes in his previous life at home.

After transmigrating for more than 20 years, his memories of his previous life can only be described as ‘vague’. Many times, Kuro has forgotten the fact that he is a transmigrator.

Only the occasional appearance of a few key people and things made him alert to his identity.

But this meal…

The gentle thought reminded her of her mother’s nagging and father’s advice when she came home back then. The gentleness and warmth she felt after coming of age were all experienced in the venison.

It was a very gentle taste.

“This woman…”

Kuro stared at the stork that smiled because everyone had eaten.

“Did you drug him?” Kuro raised his eyebrows and looked suspicious.

She almost made him cry.

“Ni… San…”

Leda stared at the venison in her hand, completely stunned.

Kuro turned his head and saw Leda’s expression and asked, “Leda?”

“Ah, it’s okay…”

Leda subconsciously shook her head and took a big bite of the venison. She said excitedly, “Kuro, this venison is really delicious. Sister’s cooking is really good!”

“Then eat more…”

Kuro looked down at his food and thought for a long time. He quickly finished the deer leg and lit a cigar. The smoke mixed with some water droplets and floated up.

He looked at the full moon in the sky and was silent for a long time. Then he said softly, “Can it be repaired…”

Tomoe smiled and looked at the people who were eating heartily. Suddenly, his face turned pale and his body shook violently and he fell to the ground.

“Sister Stork!”

Huena was shocked. “What’s wrong with you?”

Her sudden collapse made everyone look over. Those children stopped eating and showed panicked expressions.

“It’s okay.”

Kuro glanced at it and sensed it with his Kenbonshoku (Observation). Then he said, “It’s just that the relaxation after excessive tension has caused the mind to relax. This woman’s breath is worse than yours. She should have been hungry. Now that she has relaxed, she will naturally faint.”

“Tsubaki…”

Uto looked over and wiped his tears. “It’s been hard on you.”

WHOOSH!!!

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind rushed in from afar, suppressing the flames of the bonfire and almost extinguishing them.

The wind that appeared made everyone except Marine freeze.

“It’s Nature’s Wind!”

Utopia thought of something and turned to look in the direction of the field, shouting, “Everyone, go and take refuge, don’t come out, the wind of nature is coming!”

With that, he took the lead and ran into a house. He did not know where that thin body got his strength from, but he ran very fast. Then, he carried a hoe and went straight to the field.

“Hey, old man, what are you doing?” Kuro asked.

“I want to protect everyone’s fields!” Utopia shouted without looking back.
