His mind raced with ideas, each dish more tantalizing than the last. He wanted to create something that would bring people together, heroes and monsters alike, and bridge the divide between them. But to do that, he needed a dish with a story, a dish that would resonate with everyone in the city.
As he diced vegetables and marinated meats a familiar man appeared in front of his food card...

Silver fang smiles then ordered his famous curry dish, Hiro was surprised to see Silver Fang, the Class S hero, standing before his food cart. But he couldn't help but feel honored by the request for his famous curry dish.
With a warm smile, Hiro greeted Silver Fang and swiftly began preparing the curry. He carefully selected the freshest vegetables and the finest cuts of meat, infusing them with his signature blend of spices and herbs.
Silver fang stuns by the enticing aroma of the curry filled the air, As hiro served the dish to Silver Fang, who took a moment to savor the flavors. The hero's eyes widened in surprise and delight..and saw a familiar blurry image from his memories...He was momentarily transported back to his childhood, a time when he was just a young martial artist, learning the basics of martial arts.
In those early years, he often helped his brother in the kitchen, learning not just the art of combat but also the art of cooking. The strong aroma of spices and the sizzle of ingredients in the pan were etched in his mind, reminding him of the simple joys of sharing a meal with his brother after a rigorous training session.
-- This is extraordinary! The balance of flavors is impeccable, and the depth of the spices is unlike any curry I've tasted before. You truly are a master of your craft, Food Cart Chef Hiro. --
Hiro felt a surge of pride at Silver Fang's compliment. Coming from a Class S hero, it meant a great deal to him. But it wasn't just about the praise; it was about the connection they had formed through food—a connection that transcended hero rankings and social status.
- Thank you, Silver Fang. Your appreciation means a lot to me. I believe that food has the power to bring people together, just like how heroes unite to protect the city. -
Silver Fang nodded, his expression thoughtful.
-- You're right, Hiro. As heroes, we strive to protect the innocent and uphold justice, but sometimes, we forget that true justice includes understanding and compassion for all. Your cooking reminds me of the importance of cherishing the bond we made with other people. --
Hiro smiled warmly.
As Silver Fang bid farewell and walked away, Hiro couldn't help but feel a sense of connection with the hero. He knew that their encounter was not just a chance meeting—it was a continuation of the journey to foster understanding and unity in the city.
