Chapter 5: Chapter 5 So Delicious It Makes Me Cry! Kamishiro Rize Must Go!
In the surprised eyes of everyone.
Manager Yoshimura actually picked up a piece of cherry blossom cake and put it in his mouth!
Until Manager Yoshimura began to chew, until Manager Yoshimura tasted it carefully and swallowed it, until Manager Yoshimura suddenly had tears in his eyes.
Everyone thought that Manager Yoshimura tasted this food just for politeness.
But they reacted after seeing Manager Yoshimura's real expression.
"Can ghouls eat this kind of food!?" Irimi Xuan exclaimed.
"Could it be that the material is…" Furuma Yuaner thought it was made of fragments of people.
"Can ghouls eat it!?" Kirishima Touka stared at the box of cherry blossom cakes.
And after Manager Yoshimura finished eating.
He raised his hand to wipe away the moisture in the corners of his eyes, wiped away the memories of youth in his mind, counted the remaining osmanthus cakes in the box, and took another piece and put it in his palm.
"The rest, two pieces each, try them all."
After saying that, the store manager went upstairs holding his piece.
The remaining three people were in shock in the store!
Kirishima Touka was the first to come over. She opened her eyes wide, walked unsteadily, looked at the osmanthus cake in the box, tremblingly picked up a piece, and put it in her mouth.
"Um~~!!"
Kirishima Touka closed her eyes, her whole body trembled, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes in an instant.
No one understood the complex emotions in her heart at this moment.
Or every ghoul could hardly understand this feeling.
Kirishima Touka had human friends, and in normal interpersonal relationships, every time friends shared food, it was torture for Touka.
She wanted to eat mentally, but her body absolutely refused.
She was young, and she was far from being able to perform as calmly as an experienced ghoul.
Compared to the physical disgust.
What tortured Kirishima Touka more was her mental state!
But today, it changed!
Human food turned out to be so delicious!
This taste!
This touch!!
This joy that penetrates the soul!!!
"It's so delicious!" Kirishima Touka cried as she said this.
Furuma Ener and Irumi Xuan looked at each other, and quickly picked up a piece and started eating.
Eat it in one bite.
The shock of the two was no better than that of Kirishima Touka.
Touka cried.
At least the two of them kept wiping their eyes.
After eating one piece, the three of them silently took the last piece each.
Kirishima Touka took the oil paper and carefully wrapped her piece, as if it were a rare treasure.
Now the question is back.
"What kind of sakura cake is this?"
At this time, the store manager Fangcun came back after changing his clothes.
There was no sign that he had just been upstairs, looking at a photo of a young woman again and again, secretly wiping away tears.
After hearing the discussion of the store clerks.
Manager Yoshimura answered affirmatively: "It is human food, normal food."
"But." Irimi Xuan was very confused: "We are ghouls."
Furuma Madoka nodded in confirmation.
And Kirishima Touka was very practical.
It can even be said to be full of Russian humor.
She took out the food given to her by her friends from her bag and took a big bite in front of everyone.
Then…
"Ugh~!"
Everyone looked at Kirishima Touka who was retching next to the trash can.
Now it's confirmed.
They are fine, they are still normal.
This food is indeed effective!
Furuma Madoka took out her piece and looked at it again and again, still wondering.
"Why?"
Kirishima Touka came back from retching, wiped her mouth, and expressed her opinion.
"We are still the same as before. Did the store manager accidentally cultivate food that ghouls can eat normally?"
Dong Xiang's opinion was immediately met with different opinions from Irimi Xuan.
"The Totsuki Culinary Academy, which has the highest status in the culinary world, has not yet researched any food that ghouls can eat, since it issued a statement that it would research food that ghouls can eat normally."
"It is claimed that coffee was researched by them, but they themselves have not admitted it."
So far, the only human food that ghouls can drink is coffee.
And Totsuki's statement is also very simple. If they can really research normal food that ghouls can eat, the ghouls in the world can coexist normally with humans.
Then Totsuki's status will no longer be in the culinary world and Japan.
But it will be a transcendent status in the entire world.
But the result is cruel, and there is no hope until now.
"So it shouldn't be a problem with the ingredients." Rujian Xuan looked at the store manager: "It should be a problem with the young store manager."
Store manager Fangcun thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Now the most likely one is indeed the young store manager."
When Kirishima Touka heard this, she couldn't hold back.
"Rize Kamishiro is contacting him now, let's go find him!"
When she said this, Furuma Yuaner and Rujian Xuan both agreed and wanted to go over immediately.
It's different from before.
Before, they didn't care, but they were just afraid that Lin An would be eaten by Rize Kamishiro and eventually CCG would be involved and found out.
And now if Lin An is eaten, this food problem will never be clear again.
Then they will have no place to cry, and their legs will be broken with regret.
But before the three of them acted.
Store manager Fangcun looked at the date and time.
"It's late at night. It's too rude for you to go now. Find a day off and bring gifts."
"We are an antique coffee shop. Don't expose your identity as a ghoul right away."
On the surface, heWe are just an antique coffee shop.
The mature and experienced manager Fangcun did not get carried away even in the face of such temptation, and still asked everyone to be cautious.
The three thought about it and nodded in agreement.
...…..
On the other side.
The cast iron pan was heated over a high fire.
As Lin An used a spoon to pour the melted butter over the thick-cut steak again and again.
This "special" thick-cut sirloin steak was ready.
Then he brought it to the plate and waited for it to stand.
After the standing was completed, Lin An prepared the seasoning and knife and fork, and finally brought it to Kamishiro Rize and placed it in front of her.
"Enjoy it."
Kamishiro Rize looked at Lin An with a greedy look.
She thought that Lin An said that he was talking to her, not to the steak.
Not far away, Kasumigaoka Utaha bit her lower lip and flicked her toes to show her dissatisfaction.
Lin An turned and left, preparing to make some drinks for himself.
And when Kamishiro Rize came back to her senses.
When she started to cut the steak with a knife and fork, the aroma of meat rushed into her nose.
Kamishiro Rize was stunned.
Why is this smell so fragrant? Why?
Shouldn't human food be smelly?
Kamishiro Rize looked down. The color of this steak was extremely beautiful. On the brown surface, the Maillard reaction of beef and pot noodles was so tempting.
For humans, it is simply a heavenly dish.
Kamishiro Rize silently cut off a piece of meat. She wanted to endure swallowing but couldn't swallow it, but she licked it with her tender tongue.
In an instant, Kamishiro Rize was shocked and her cheeks were as red as blood!
Kasumigaoka Utaha in the distance wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, because she was the same after eating, as if she had drawn a card.
