Komatsu's Love Defense

Chapter 139: Return of Alu

I stared at Melk II with an unprecedented serious expression on my face, and asked solemnly: "Miss Melk, can you teach me the grinding technique you learned?"

Hearing this, Melk II gently wiped the tears from his eyes, then smiled and nodded, saying firmly: "Well, of course, I will teach you without reservation. Now, let's get started!"

We walked into the forging room together. Melk II skillfully placed the grinding stone and knives on the workbench. Everything was in order. I walked to the workbench, took a deep breath, sat down, picked up the kitchen knife, and carefully placed it on the grinding stone.

Melk II stood beside me and began to instruct me carefully. She patiently told me the key points and techniques of grinding, how to exert force with my hands, and how to control the force. I listened to her explanation attentively, observing her movements and trying to imitate them.

At the beginning, I didn’t grind smoothly and couldn’t find the right rhythm and strength. However, I didn’t get discouraged and devoted myself to learning more attentively.

I started sharpening the knives little by little, each time trying to follow the instructions of the Melk II as closely as possible. Although I was not successful at first, as time went by, I gradually mastered the essentials of sharpening and became more and more proficient.

Under the careful guidance of Melk II, I spent three fulfilling days. Every day I carefully sharpened the knives in the forging room and continuously improved my skills. Whenever I encountered confusion or problems, Melk II would patiently answer them for me and help me overcome the difficulties.

By the third day, I was already able to grind the knife skillfully. I stared at the knife in my hand, full of confidence and expectation. I took a deep breath and pushed the knife down hard. There was a crisp sound, and the knife became extremely sharp in my hand.

Melk II's face was filled with excitement, and his eyes showed deep admiration for me: "Yes, that's the feeling just now!"

I raised my head suddenly, looked directly into the eyes of Melk II, and shouted excitedly, "Oh, I did it!"

The smile on Melk II's face became even brighter, and she praised him generously, "As expected of Chef Komatsu, you are so talented! The grinding method that would take an ordinary person a year to master, you learned it in just a few days!"

I smiled and responded modestly: "That's because Miss Melk taught me well!"

I stood up and stretched my shoulders, which were a little sore from working for a long time, and then asked Melk II curiously, "By the way, Miss Melk, how many days did it take you to learn the grinding method just now?"

Melk II looked at me with an innocent smile on her face. She said easily, "I'll be able to do it soon. I succeeded right away."

Melk II's words made me feel a little embarrassed, but at the same time, I also admired her talent from the bottom of my heart. Such comprehension ability is really like genius to us.

"I'm back!" At this moment, A'lu's familiar voice suddenly sounded behind me.

I widened my eyes and turned my head sharply to look at the source of the sound. A'lu's tall figure appeared at the door, holding a huge bundle in his right hand, with his left hand on his waist and a bright smile on his face.

I ran over excitedly and shouted loudly: "Mr. A Lu!"

"Sorry, I'm back late!" A Lu grinned, revealing his signature bright smile, his voice full of apology.

I couldn't wait to run to A'lu, looked up at his tall and mighty figure, my heart filled with joy and anticipation.

I couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, stretch out my arms, and hug his waist tightly. My tears couldn't help but burst out at this moment, and I choked and said, "Mr. Alu, I have been worried about you. I am so glad that you can come back safely."

A Lu was startled by my sudden action. His body trembled violently and there was a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

However, after just a few seconds, Ah Lu's body gradually adapted to this close contact, and his originally tense muscles gradually relaxed. He sighed softly, feeling helpless and amused by my behavior.

A Lu stretched out his big hand, gently stroked my head, and said in a gentle and sincere tone: "I'm sorry, Xiaosong, I made you worry."

Melk II walked up and looked at Alu, with a sincere smile on his face: "Alu, welcome back."

A Lu raised his head and met the eyes of Melk II. He noticed that Melk II had gotten rid of her previous confusion, and now she exuded a confident and calm temperament, like a top craftsman exuding extraordinary demeanor.

A Lu showed a gratified look, smiled faintly, and said: "Melk...where should I start...there are countless things to tell you..."

I let go of Ah Lu and wiped the tears off her face with the back of my hand. Then I turned and walked to the kitchen and started to prepare some delicious dishes.

I walked out of the kitchen carefully, carrying the prepared dishes. Each dish was prepared with great care.

When I walked into the restaurant, Alu and Melk II were already sitting at the table, and their eyes fell on me at the same time. I walked to the table with a smile and gently placed the food in my hand on the table.

A Lu quickly finished the dishes, showing satisfaction with every bite. After finishing, he wiped his mouth with satisfaction, turned to look at me and Melk II, and began to tell us about his experience in Snake Cliff.
