Chapter 111 - A Beautiful Garden Factory

Prev | TOC | Next "Is this the Ultimate Curry? It's incredibly delicious!" We've brought the Stamina-Restoring Spring water to the eighteenth floor of the No-Hunger Dungeon, and Commander Shield is treating us to some curry. It really has become astonishingly delicious. I'm amazed Commander Shield managed to come up with such a blend. Her sense of taste is truly incredible. "The most important step is leaving the curry overnight in a room cooled with ice to let the flavors meld. Honestly, the proportions of the curry ingredients aren't all that important."
