"They finished at the same time?!"
Looking at the two who completed their dishes almost simultaneously on the screen, exclamations erupted from the audience in front of the live broadcast screen. Many people showed surprise; this was too coincidental!
With synchronized rhythm, and dishes completed almost at the same time, Hoshino Sora and Erina Nakiri exchanged glances, then let out a long sigh of relief. They then placed their dishes on the cooking station in front of them, to be distributed by the staff to each judge.
"Come and taste it, my dish."
"My pleasure!"
Looking at the silver-white plate Hoshino Sora handed over, Erina Nakiri steadily took it, then gently lifted the lid from the plate. A rich aroma immediately spread outwards from the center of the plate.
"This is..."
Looking at the dish in front of her, which emitted a rich aroma, Erina Nakiri's eyes widened. At the very top of the bowl lay a poached egg. The poached egg was fried until its skin was golden, emitting a rich eggy fragrance, but inside, the yolk was still runny. It was also sprinkled with tiny black pepper grains, exuding an exceptionally mellow and rich aroma.
"Ah!~"
"Mmm~!"
"Amazing! Such a rich aroma!"
All sorts of strange tones and voices spread through the venue. Among them, Erina Nakiri and Nagiri Mana, who tasted the dish first, had the strongest reactions. Because they possessed the God Tongue, they could perceive the deliciousness of the dish even more clearly!
"Indeed, the ingredients from the Gourmet Manor are incredibly potent! The sauce, generously drizzled over the entire dish, is full of the rich flavor of yuzu pepper and soy sauce, and the taste of Japanese-style hollandaise sauce."
As soon as the dish entered her mouth, Erina Nakiri couldn't help but hum, closing her eyes and showing a blissful expression. Her body also slightly arched as the warm current entered, showcasing her impressive figure.
"The thick beef, roasted to a beautiful char, despite being seared over high heat, is so rich and juicy, and it melts with just a slight press of the tongue, transforming into a warm current in the mouth."
Nagiri Mana also joined in. The deliciousness of the dish made her tremble all over. Although the taste was slightly inferior to yesterday's Yangzhou Fried Rice, because it was a dish she had never eaten before, a sense of novelty arose in her heart, which added a certain boost to the dish's flavor.
In addition, the refreshing taste brought by the rice mixed with salted kelp and perilla formed a wonderful balance with the roasted beef above! It made one tremble with pleasure."
"And the fried poached egg on top, an absolutely superb cooking technique that perfectly fries the slightly set poached egg, creating a crispy, melting fried egg on the tongue!"
"The egg white is incredibly smooth, and the viscous, semi-liquid yolk might even make one mistake it for being raw. To coat such a soft egg in batter, what an excellent cooking technique! As expected of Hoshino-kun!"
Her face showing a proud expression, Erina Nakiri felt a surge of satisfaction looking at Hoshino Sora, whose face was written with confidence. This was her man, possessing incredibly powerful cooking skills!
"This isn't quite like the dishes I've seen before."
Nakitiri Mana scrambled to her feet, her chair falling to the ground, and stared blankly at the plate with a good portion of the rice bowl still remaining, this thought emerging in her mind.
"The chefs I've seen in the past were basically all the same. If they kept cooking for the God Tongue, they would eventually develop a sense of dread, only able to make overly cautious dishes."
"Azami was the same; because he was afraid of hurting me, he could only make dishes that, while delicious, never dared to cross the one-hundred-point line. But this young man in front of me, Hoshino Sora, is very different…"
"His cooking is full of confidence and vitality, and I can clearly feel that this dish is not complete; it can still evolve. And the ingredients used in this dish… there's no mistake!"
As she savored the deliciousness of the dish, Nakitiri Mana's face showed a look of satisfaction, and her gaze towards Hoshino Sora became even more content. She believed that this boy could accompany Erina on her journey.
He could accompany the God Tongue on her journey!
Picking up the plate, she continued to scoop rice into her mouth bite after bite, emitting inexplicable ripples, and the same was true for Erina Nakiri, who was in front of Hoshino Sora.
At this moment, she had just put down the clean plate in front of her, her hands on the table, and an inexplicable ripple of aura spread outwards from her body. Finally, the two ripples of aura overlapped, creating a wonderful resonance.
Their ripples intertwined and converged, then gradually spread outwards, finally forming an unparalleled aura. Its immense power directly affected the WGO executive officers and Hoshino Sora's harem, as well as the reporters, who had just begun to taste the dishes.
Everyone's cheeks rapidly turned red, a strange sensation surged from deep within their bodies, and then they simultaneously let out shouts of happiness as the taste of the dish emerged on their tongues.
"What's going on!" Someone who didn't understand exclaimed.
Alice Nakiri stood rigidly, her expression showing a hint of disbelief: "I should be wearing clothes."
Although her clothes didn't burst open, the image of them bursting appeared in her mind. This feeling… it was like lying on boundless clouds, making one feel somewhat lightheaded!
Kitagawa Marin squinted her eyes and spread her arms: "What a strong sense of liberation!"
"So comfortable!"
Hisako Arato covered her chest, somewhat shocked: "Is this Bestowal?"
Mito Ikumi's face was flushed: "No, it's a little different~"
Eishi Tsukasa: "I can feel the ingredients, the fluctuations of their immense joy from being cooked."
Everyone's expressions on the scene were different, but the only thing that was certain was that under the influence of this mysterious ripple, they entered a new state of transcendence. This state was not ordinary clothing explosions, but a feeling that made people extremely happy and satisfied!
"My heart is incredibly joyful!" In the dimly lit room, Dojima Gin was also affected to some extent, his face beaming with a happy and satisfied expression.
Senzaemon Nakiri was filled with shock: "This is a brand-new Bestowal jointly triggered by Mana and Erina! It has already surpassed the God's Bestowal! It has entered a whole new realm."
Executive Officer An: "This is a temperature that humans have never experienced on Earth!"
"It's very gentle yet very warm." Tadokoro Megumi slightly raised her head, her gaze gentle as she looked at Hoshino Sora, who had caused Nakitiri Mana and Erina Nakiri to unleash the "God's Bestowal".
