Initially, Erina ate slowly, not daring to gobble it down.
Gradually, she stopped restraining herself, and actually began to slurp large mouthfuls into her mouth.
For some reason, as soon as her lips touched the catfish noodles, that taste, sliding between her lips and teeth, always made her almost crazy.
This "fresh" taste, permeated with various seafood ingredients, was simply…
Refreshing!
...
Noodles!
What is the most important thing?
On this question, Erina would definitely answer like this:
It's the chewiness and elasticity that can be immediately felt after slurping a mouthful of noodles; it's the feeling of the noodles wanting to quietly slip away, forcing one to chew desperately with their teeth!
Although, with her current God Tongue ability.
She still couldn't fully perceive Sosuke's Noodle-Not-Noodle dish.
However, the challenging noodles, and the wonderful experience of each strand bursting in her mouth, always made her unforgettable every time she recalled it!
Gradually, Erina began to enter a marvelous fantasy.
She saw herself, dressed in a tight diving suit, leisurely swimming in the cold ocean, sometimes swimming east, sometimes swimming west.
The seawater varied in depth, and a group of sea bream, the "crown of sea fish," suddenly came to circle around Erina.
These sea bream were all lively and adorable, with rich colors on their bodies—red, pink, yellow, and even zebra stripes—exceptionally beautiful!
Yes!
A field of colors.
Flawless, transparent, pure, quiet, enough to melt her restless heart!
Perhaps, for Erina.
Only any dish by Sosuke could give her such a broad perspective like the ocean, and such a joyful mood like these sea bream!
...
"Gone?"
"I ate it all?"
Afterward, when she came back to her senses, she saw that the entire bowl of Noodle-Not-Noodle in front of her was completely clean, not even a single noodle left.
No, on closer inspection, there was still one drop of soup.
Seeing this, Erina's eyes involuntarily lit up.
She eagerly picked up the bowl again, brought it to her lips, and gently tilted it, trying to make that one drop of soup in the bowl slowly fall into her mouth.
Finally, she licked her lips, looking as if she wanted more.
And this eating manner almost stunned Hisako, who was beside her!
If the Far Moon students knew that their goddess was licking a drop of soup from the bowl like a dog, they would probably all be greatly surprised.
"Sosuke, one bowl of noodles isn't enough. Can… can I have another serving?"
Subsequently, Erina, having somewhat recovered, had a faint blush on her face.
Her moist eyes gazed deeply at Sosuke, with a hint of anticipation and a hint of nervousness.
"Yes, please wait a moment."
Sosuke didn't say much, but nodded, then continued to get busy.
...
At the same time, in the Spring Fruit Pavilion Restaurant next door.
If Hisako had ignored Erina's objections and insisted on going to the alley earlier, then Mana and Erina, mother and daughter, would have had an unexpected reunion.
But fate is like that; sometimes it will sneak away when you're not paying attention.
Mujiuzhi, the owner of this Western-style restaurant, stared blankly at Mana and Anne, probably still trying to process what was happening.
After all, it was already closing time, so why would these executive officers suddenly visit her Spring Fruit Pavilion?
Nakiri Mana, who had just arrived, observed with interest.
Finally, her gaze critically scrutinized Mujiuzhi, and after a while, she nodded with slight satisfaction.
This woman left a rather good impression on her.
