Cooking like an over-the-top show.

After making my way through the attacks and different locations, I finally arrived where I was supposed to be.

However, I noticed that the environment felt even hotter than before—though still not dangerously so in terms of temperature.

There, I saw the businessman. The ingredients he had gathered were all based on the earth element, but what caught my attention the most at that moment was his tight suit. He was sweating profusely, his eyebrows furrowed in a mix of anguish and discomfort. It was a strange blend of alluring and pitiful.

Seeing him like that, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"Why don't you use your ability to cool down the temperature?" I asked.

Upon noticing my arrival, he seemed about to smile, but then he stopped and greeted me instead.

"I don't have enough energy to maintain it for long. That's why I waited for you to get here—so it could serve both the dish's creation and help us both," the businessman explained.
