Cooking Alliances          

Wait . . . Ren paused.

He could sell them and auction the recipes; they would surely fetch a high price among restaurants and chefs. 

And . . . Ren stared intently at Elena.

"W-what? Why are you looking at me like that?" Elena asked, unsure. "Did you fell in love with me now?"

Ren ignored her. He could have her cook the very rare recipes in here and auction them.

"Elena, you have cooking tools and max cooking proficiency, right?"

Elena blinked before she cleared her throat and said, "Well . . . not to brag, but . . . I usually cook in the kitchen all the time."

"Wasn't it your sister?" Ren deadpanned. "But anyway, can you cook all the very rare recipes in here?"

Ren handed Elena the recipes, and she looked over the lists.

"Only the rare ones?" Elena asked.

Ren nodded. "Yes. Can you do it?"

"I have the tools and some of the ingredients, but . . ."

"But?" Ren didn't like the sound of that.
