Keira was speechless.

Wait, did Erin just casually spill a South family secret like that?

Keira stared at Erin, wanting to say something, but ultimately decided it wasn't worth the effort. Instead, she said, "So, if I make you four dishes, you'll tell me four secrets?"

"Deal!" Erin answered cheerfully, her eyes sparkling with childlike innocence. The look was so pure that Keira almost felt guilty, as if she were tricking a kid.

Keira was silent again.

She stood up and walked toward the kitchen, with Erin trailing behind.

Keira's cooking style was spontaneous. She glanced at the ingredients left in the kitchen and said, "Alright, for the first dish, I'll make you a rice bowl with braised meat."

She grabbed some pork ribs, tossed them into a clay pot, prepped everything quickly, and then looked at Erin. "First secret, start talking."

Erin didn't hesitate. "You know how the South family estate can't be found on any map? Not even on satellite images?"

Keira nodded. "Yeah, I noticed."

Erin grinned. "Well, the reason you can't find it is because the South family's land is cloaked! They've developed a kind of camouflage tech that makes their property blend seamlessly with its surroundings, so on any map or satellite image, it just looks like either land, ocean, or forest—whatever's around it."

Keira's eyes narrowed. "So which one is it? Land, ocean, or forest?"

Erin gave her a sly smile. "That's the second secret! What's the next dish?"
