This is the most popular and artistically-styled restaurant in Floral Road. Using unprocessed wood and iron art as its base decor, this place provides customers with a comfortable dining experience.
Meetery Eatery is currently holding a competition for chefs. The rule of the competition is for them to use limited ingredients to cook dishes that the patrons are satisfied with.
We’ve been asked to assist the chefs in selecting the ingredients. Since the customers must be satisfied, why don’t we understand the preferences of the customers first?
~~~~~~~~
Stop 1 : Jade Bookstore
The refined yet somewhat nostalgic atmosphere in this small bookstore, the seats near the window and in the corners are very suitable for enjoying the slow passage of time and a book.
Head over to the Jade Bookstore to search for recipes and books related to popular ingredients to see if there are any new discoveries.
[Idle Chat]
Kiro : “I think this bookstore got a good name.”
Kiro : “Only in books we can find a house full of gold. Only in books we can find a house full of jade.”
[T/N : What Kiro said is “Shu zhong zi you huang jin wu/书中自有黄金屋“is an ancient motto used to encourage students to study by implying books are the source of success, etc.]
MC : "There is also the feeling of a humble gentleman as gentle as a king.”
Kiro : “Wonderful, wonderful.”
MC : “I just don’t know how much the refreshment provided by the bookstore has improved its evaluation here.”
[Task]
Kiro : “Has MC read the magazine "Love language of food.”?
MC : “Look, there are many recipes for home cooking.”
MC : “I remember the latest issue in the magazine was of a winter recipe with spinach scrambled eggs, crucian carp meatball soup, spicy vermicelli tofu, tomato potato borscht.”
Kiro : “Savin has been addicted to cooking recently. The magazine was open on the table and he even asked if we were free to try the dishes he made at his home.”
MC : “Of course, we’re free!”
Kiro : “Then I’ll sign up for you too. Kiro and MC, the strongest cooking team are about to attack!”

[Mini Story]
After eating the last mouthful of Tanghulu in my hand, I leaned against the wall of Jade Bookstore and waved to Kiro helplessly.
MC : “Huff…No way can I hold on anymore.”
Kiro : “Actually, I too….”
Kiro shook the empty drink can in his hand and suggested to me.
Kiro : “Let’s go the next stop and take a walk for a while to digest?”
MC : “Mm, agreed!”
——
I held hands with Kiro and walked slowly around corner. At this moment, a fragrant crepe stand leaped into our sight.
I rubbed my full stomach and shook my head pretending not to care.
MC : “It’s just a crepe, we’ve eaten it many times.”
Kiro : “Honestly, after eating so many snacks, I don’t feel very excited about it now.”
The owner’s call came from a distance through the loudspeaker.
“Strawberry Cream Chocolate and Double Crisp! "Love Around The City”-themed waffles exclusively available during the event!“
Kiro and I looked at each other and slowed down involuntarily.
MC : ”…..We can come back later too, we don’t have to eat it now.“
Kiro : ”….That’s right, there’s still a lot of time before the event ends.“
"This waffle is limited to only 99 pieces. Only last 2 are left! First come, first serve while the stock is still here!”
MC : “…..”
Kiro : “…..”
The next second, we tacitly ran all the way to the stall.
Kiro : “Boss! We want the last two waffles!”
Five minutes later, holding the freshly baked waffle, I looked at Kiro beside me with satisfaction.
MC : “After strenuous exercise, people really can eat more food.”
MC : “Now, I think I can totally eat this whole waffle without any problem.”
Kiro took a bite of the strawberry waffle and looked over at me with a smile.
Kiro : “Then after we finish eating, let’s go for a walk in the street to digest again~”
~~~~~~~~
Stop 2 : Floral Avenue
Situated in Loveland City, Floral Avenue isn’t just a place where young people gather. More importantly, it’s a multicultural location where creativity is born.
Floral Avenue is also known as Loveland City’s Delicacy Street. There are many snack stalls, restaurant chains and internet trending cafes. Checking it out might enable us to find new inspiration.
[Idle Chat]
Kiro : “Here are some flowers for you, my lovely lady.”
MC : “Such beautiful daisy flowers!”
Kiro : “I plucked it myself and found it myself?”
Kiro : “Although, there are only leaves in our little garden this season…..”
[T/N : Kiro actually gifted MC a garden in one of their dates.]
Kiro : “But my flowers for you will never be out of stock.”
[Task]
Researcher : “The recent work tasks are particularly numerous and complicated and it feels like my brain cells have been exhausted….”
Researcher : “I plan to go to a the restaurant. They have a lot of good dishes but I don’t know if there are any dishes that can help me cool down my brain and relax.”
Kiro : “Speaking of which, I don’t know if it is really reliable but as they say- you are what you eat.”
[T/N : What Kiro really said was an idiom in Chinese but explaining it would be lengthy so I translated it into what seemed like the closest meaning in English!]
MC : “Many don’t know this but eating a real meat instead of a supplementary one is sure to make you better.”
Kiro : “And eating sugar for some sweetness is also certified. Otherwise, why would MC who likes desserts get sweeter and sweeter?”
[Mini Story]
Kiro and I walked leisurely around the Floral Avenue holding marshmallows.
Just after we took a few steps, we suddenly heard a child-like voice from behind us.
Child actor : “It’s big brother KILO–”
Kiro : “Shh…!”
Kiro turned his head in shock, then squatted down and gently stroked the kid’s hair.
Kiro : “Don’t attract others’ attention!”
Kiro : “MC, this is the little actor I collaborated with in my previous play I mentioned to you.”
I smiled and nodded. Then I saw her eyes fixed on the marshmallows in our hands.
MC : “Do you want to eat this?”
I patiently handed the marshmallow to her. The little girl’s eyes lit up but she shook her head shyly.
Child actor : “I read in script that a noble person does not- does not take-”
Kiro smiled and handed his cotton candy to the little girl, lowering his voice.
Kiro : “It’s only that a noble person does not take people’s favor for granted. But this is a gift, so it’s all okay.”
Child actor : “But if take this away, what will big brother Kiro eat?”
Kiro straightened up, leaned over to the marshmallow in my hand and took a bite.
Kiro : “For the two of us, this one is enough.”

Stop 3 : VR Game Hall
Interplanetary crossing, Mini adventures, canyon walking and all the incredible adventures–you can find them here!
There are also many snack bars near the game all so it’s hard not to be tempted. Because of this, the municipal government has recently released some public advertisements about food and beverages which may also contain some limited new ones.
[Idle Chat]
MC : “I’m starting to get nervous….”
Kiro : “With me, the No. 1 player teaming up with you–you should feel at ease.”
MC : “What if I’m very bad at it?”
Kiro : “Then I’ll take your points back for you!”
Kiro : “Regardless of reality or games, I believe that SuperHero Kiro will always be right!”
[Task]
Kiro : “Eliminate junk food and promote new healthy food culture….”
MC : “Isn’t this the slogan of the new trend of healthy eating that is very popular recently?”
Kiro : “Yes, it is said that carbohydrates and fats are not friendly to dieters’ health and high-quality meat eaters should choose fish instead that is rich in brain-enhancing DHA.”
MC : “I also tried this for a few days and then surrendered to the fishbone….”
Kiro : “It turns out that MC had the same experience as me. I also fought with my wits and courage to the fishbone for half a month.”
Kiro : “But to me, it seems that being with MC is better than eating fish for half a month.”
Kiro : “When I have MC’s company, inspiration floods my mind.”
[Mini Story]
Staff : “Welcome! What game project do you want to try?”
As soon as we arrived at the VR game hall, the staff greeted us warmly and recommended a music rhythm game to us with a smile.
Staff : “The songs in it have just been updated and now if you reach the highest difficulty full combo, there are special prizes you can win!”
Kiro and my eyes lit up.
Kiro : “Then we are in!”
MC : “Highest difficulty huh. Let’s do a test try first!”
—-
The staff took us to a room and put the VR gear on us.
We couldn’t see each other, only could faintly hear each other’s voices.
Kiro : “Ahem, ahem, ahem, Miss Chips- Can you hear me?”
MC : “I can hear you!”
Kiro : “I don’t know which song will be randomly picked for us but as soon as we….Ah, it has started!”
A familiar prelude sounded suddenly in the headphones. I was taken aback but the corners of my mouth couldn’t help but rise.
It’s the new song that Kiro just released last week!
The rhythm in front of me was very familiar.
Dodging, crouching and hit until the music stopped, I didn’t make a single mistake in cooperation with Kiro.
Staff : “It’s amazing that both of you are the first to achieve a full combo even on such a intermediate difficulty level!”
The staff took down the equipment from us and was amazed.
Kiro : “Well, we did listen to this song quite a lot.”
Kiro said and winked at me.
I also smiled knowingly and turned to the staff.
MC : “Let’s continue the challenge and go straight to the hardest mode!”
MC : “No one knows the melody of this song better than the two of us~”

Stop 4 : Movie Theatre
This is the theatre with the most number of new movies. At the same time, it’s also the place to watch old movies. If you’re feeling nostalgic, why not come here and try your luck?
This is a favorite place for many “hard-core” movie fans. As a cultural landmark of LoveLand city, the decoration here has a retro literary style. It seems that a few well-known film critics are stopping by the theatre. Let’s go and see what materials can be found there.
[Idle Chat]
MC : “After watching old movies, I always feel moved.”
Kiro : “That’s the beauty of acting and films.”
Kiro : “Shaping the plot through lines, body language and even with just eyes and trivial expressions….”
Kiro : “I hope one day, I can become such great actor too.”
MC : “And even till then, I will still be your greatest fan.”
[Task]
MC : “Excuse me, we’re doing a food survey and it’s almost lunch time. Where will you be heading to eat next?”
Film critic : “I re-watched an old movie just now and there was a rare western food with a balance of meat and vegetables. I want to try it.”
MC : “So it is true that when it comes to western food, the first impression of many people is to try meat and starch.”
Kiro : “There are still a lot of delicious western food with meat and vegetables.”
Kiro : “However, those delicious foods have exceeded the calories standard set by Savin….”
Kiro : “I’ll take you to eat every one of those foods slowly without stretching.”
Kiro : “Take every opportunity to eat delicious food as a reward for your hard work and time will pass quickly.”
~~~~~~~~~
Stop 5 : Old Items Market
Old Items Market is a magical place. Whether you’re searching for retro items or second hand discounted goods, this place will be able to satisfy you.
Countless cheap snacks have been kept here. It’s hard not to get tempted. Some passer-bys linger here and there but they can’t seem to make up their mind on what to buy. Let’s go and ask the neighborhood what they want to eat.
[Idle Chat]
MC : “This section is surrounded by medieval artifacts.”
Kiro : “Think about it carefully, is it good for us to enter the "buying mode” when we are together?“
MC : "After buying so many things again, he won’t get angry this time, will he?”
Kiro : “If we were together with him….we could’ve been safe…”
[T/N : “He” = Savin(?) LOL]
[Task]
Customer : “Recently, I saw a medieval period skirt in the vintage market but I need to lose weight in order to wear it.”
Customer : “I heard that the restaurant has recently launched several delicious weight loss meals, I plan to try it.”
MC : “A delicious weight loss meal?”
Kiro : “Hm? I seem to see certain someone gulping.”
MC : “When did I gulp?”
Kiro : “Oh, it turns out that MC is very greedy.”
Kiro : “I have also tried their weight loss meal and I can’t say if it works but one thing is guaranteed-”
Kiro : “I know that MC will definitely find it delicious.”
~~~~~~~~
Stop 6 : Meetery Eatery
We have to play a mini game to pass this stop!
Kiro before the task : “Every dish is delicious when it’s covered with Miss Chips’ ideas!”
Kiro after the task : “Since it’s our special package, shouldn’t we be the first ones to enjoy it?”
[Epilogue]
Kiro : “I’m telling you, I won’t let you win~”
MC : “Humph, who will lose in this game is still uncertain!”
Under Kiro’s burning gaze, I stretched out my hand to the biscuit tower that was shaped like a stack of music notes.
Hold your breath and concentrate. I carefully squeezed the bottom cookie with my fingertips and nudged it out, successfully pulling out the first cookie bar.
MC : “Phew….now it’s your turn!”
I happily waved the biscuit in my hand at Kiro and put them in my mouth.
Kiro opened his eyes, pinched the top of the biscuit and began to exert his force dexterously. It took him only ten seconds to successfully pull out the biscuit.
Kiro : “It’s not that difficult!”
Kiro looked at me with slight smug on this face.
MC : “……”
MC : “I can take out two at a time but you can’t!”
Kiro : “Hehe, I also have an exclusive secret technique that I haven’t used yet-”
After a few back-and-forths, the crumbling biscuit tower was finally overwhelmed and collapsed right when I hurriedly did my turn.
MC : “How could it be that I lose….”
I laid my head down on the table pretending to be completely dejected, gripping a biscuit rolling in front of me in dissatisfaction.
Kiro held back his laughter and pinched my mournful cheek.
Kiro : “It seems that Miss Chips still needs to practice with me a few more times.”
Kiro : “So? Do you want to choose this place for our next date?”
