Chapter 10 Reward of the Super Five Senses!

Erina Zikichie felt a tremendous sense of embarrassment, caught in a situation where she couldn’t leave but couldn’t stay either. She wore a short skirt!

If she stood up, her panties would surely slide down her legs. Fushiko Shinoto, standing beside her, was completely unaware of what was happening, as she had never seen Erina’s clothes tear like this.

Erina would never reveal such a personal matter, so Fushiko assumed Erina was overwhelmed by the spicy heat of the Magical Mapo Tofu, considering how sensitive the God’s Tongue was.

“Erina-sama, quickly drink some water to dilute the spiciness in your mouth!”

Erina only shook her head, unwilling to admit that her undergarments had already been torn. Li Yang, unaware of the super-secret situation, still wanted to ask if Erina had tasted any flaws in the Magical Mapo Tofu.

“Miss Zikichie, how was the Magical Mapo Tofu I made? If you were to rate it, what score would you give?”

Li Yang’s question helped pull Erina from her embarrassed state.

“Score?”

Erina thought about giving Li Yang a very low score, but her pride wouldn’t allow her to do so. The gap was just too big!

Erina had made Magical Mapo Tofu dozens of times, even recreating the versions made by her grandfather and Liu Long. But all of them had failed!

If Li Yang’s version of Magical Mapo Tofu was excellent, then hers was nothing short of a failure. Erina couldn’t, in good conscience, give Li Yang a low score.

If she did, would it mean her score was zero or even negative?

In Erina’s mind, based on Li Yang’s version of Magical Mapo Tofu, even her grandfather’s version was barely passing, and Liu Long’s version was merely good!

Just thinking about this shocked Erina.

Could Li Yang be more skilled than Liu Long?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

But could Li Yang’s Magical Mapo Tofu be perfect?

That also seemed impossible!

Erina refused to believe that Li Yang could make a perfect dish, but after her rush to taste it, and with her clothes “tearing,” her God’s Tongue had not been able to fully capture the flaws in the dish.

She suppressed the shame she felt, loosened her hands from covering herself, and though her bra strap had snapped, fortunately, other supports kept it in place.

“I haven’t finished tasting this dish yet. Let me try again before I give an accurate score!”

Although still somewhat unwilling, Erina’s tone had softened considerably. Unknowingly, her attitude towards Li Yang had completely shifted. She took up the spoon again and tasted a few more bites of the Shao’an version of Magical Mapo Tofu. This time, nothing strange happened.

Erina paused for a moment, surprised to find that her God’s Tongue was deeply satisfied. Though the Magical Mapo Tofu still had a minor flaw that her God’s Tongue could detect, it was still very satisfying. It had been a long time since her God’s Tongue had experienced such a delicious dish!

“Though this Mapo Tofu is very successful, there are still some tiny flaws… The tofu’s crispiness is almost perfect, but it still feels like, for the true Magical Mapo Tofu, this crispiness isn’t enough!”

Li Yang paused for a moment.

“Not enough crisp?”

Erina nodded.

“Exactly, it’s not crispy enough!”

“Although the Frosted Tofu you used is already quite crispy, for the entire dish, it’s still lacking. The crispness of the tofu alone can’t support the six-flavor integration of Magical Mapo Tofu!”

“It’s like a barrel with a missing plank; although this sixth plank is almost the same height as the other five, it’s still missing!”

Li Yang froze for a moment.

Could this be the reason the Little Master version of Magical Mapo Tofu won over Shao’an’s?

Though the Shao’an version was tastier, the Little Master version expressed the concept of “six-flavor integration” better!

At this realization, Li Yang didn’t hesitate. He pushed the other plate of Magical Mapo Tofu towards Erina.

“Please, Miss Zikichie, try this version of Magical Mapo Tofu. The flavor and texture are different from the previous one. This one should be more in line with your desire for crispiness.”

Although Li Yang’s expression was very sincere, Erina hesitated. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to try it. She was just worried that the same thing would happen again—that her clothes would tear…

Her bra and panties were already ruined. Would her outerwear and skirt be next?

No, not again!

But as a chef with high standards, how could she resist tasting a top-tier extraordinary dish right in front of her?

This was the long-lost Magical Mapo Tofu!

It was the “glowing dish” of “Chef Liu!”

Even if her clothes were destroyed, she couldn’t pass up this opportunity to taste it!

Her God’s Tongue began to salivate uncontrollably once again, urging her to taste the new Magical Mapo Tofu. Erina gathered all her courage, telling herself to try again, and finally opened the lid of the plate. The red light shot into the sky once more.

Fortunately, this time Erina was prepared, and her golden hair remained untouched. She quickly grabbed the spoon again and put the Magical Mapo Tofu into her mouth. Erina was once again immersed in a whole new culinary illusion.

The same volcanic eruption, but instead of white jade tofu pieces, there were large, black rocks in the eruption. These rocks shot into the sky like meteors before falling back down to earth.

Boom!

When the meteors hit the ground, they didn’t create deep craters as Erina expected. Instead, they bounced up into the air, and after some wind, they turned to dust and disappeared.

So crisp!

So crunchy!

This was the true six-flavor integration!

At that moment, Erina felt an immense sense of satisfaction. Her God’s Tongue was satisfied, and her spirit was too.

“Those black rocks… What are they? How can they be both crispy and bouncy? It’s unbelievable.”

Erina tried to figure out the truth with all her might, but couldn’t.

Rip!

The familiar sound of her clothes tearing reached her ears, pulling her out of the food illusion. She quickly looked at herself.

“Oh no!”

A scream echoed through the restaurant as Erina’s outerwear and skirt finally couldn’t handle the two waves of destruction, and they completely tore apart!

And the clothes bore burn marks from the heat!

Only a small fraction of her clothes remained, leaving Erina in a state that was now the most beautiful and scandalous sight in Midnight Restaurant.

At the same time, Li Yang received a system prompt.

[Congratulations, Master. You have conquered the heart and stomach of the diner “Erina Zikichie” with your two versions of Magical Mapo Tofu. Reward—Super Five Senses!]
