Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

"this..."

Looking at the bright red mess on the plate, all five judges felt numb.

What is that thing that looks like lava?!

"Special Mapo Tofu, please enjoy."

Kirei Kotomine crossed his arms and looked at the judges expressionlessly.

However, if you look closely, you can see the gradually upward curve of the corners of his mouth.

"This guy, he's definitely a dangerous person no matter which world he's in..."

Red A looked at the dish called Mapo Tofu in front of him with a look of dread, as if facing a formidable enemy.

He now seriously suspects that this guy is trying to poison them.

"Cough cough..."

Captain Dragonfly was a little embarrassed, but still forced a smile and reminded them, "Judges, please try it as soon as possible. You can't give a score if you don't eat a single bite."

Upon hearing Captain Dragonfly's words, Kirei Kotomine's smile widened even further.

"Father, could this be part of your plan...?"

Red A gave Kirei Kotomine a long look.

If you don't eat, you can't rate the other person's food; if you do eat, it could be life-threatening, and your taste buds might be damaged, making it impossible to appreciate the other contestants' dishes.

This is an open conspiracy!

Father, was this all part of your plan?

"Damn it, I'll fight!"

Now he really couldn't resist eating, so Fujimura Taiga decided to be the first to do it. He picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of 'red brick' food, and shakily brought it to his mouth, and then—

It was put into the mouth like the sound of "the wind is howling and the Yi River is cold".

"Bang!!!"

In an instant, Sister Dahe felt a terrifying spicy bomb explode in her mouth. The concept of 'spicy' rushed straight to the top of her head, causing her eyes to roll back and she almost fainted.

However, with his strong willpower, Fujimura Taiga managed to hold the table up.

As expected of a tiger!

This scene surprised even Kirei Kotomine.

Wow, I didn't expect him to meet his match today.

Seeing Fujimura Taiga's expression, the others swallowed hard and each scooped up a spoonful of Mapo Tofu.

"...Let's give it our all!"

Luvia decided to cut to the chase, so with a stomp of her foot and a grit of her teeth, she put the dish into her mouth—

"Bang!!!"

The next second, Luvia's head slammed heavily onto the table, and she fell silent.

This scene startled the remaining three so much that they almost dropped their spoons.

This isn't food! This is deadly poison...

No, even highly toxic substances don't necessarily take effect this quickly!

Merlin immediately and secretly cast a magic spell to paralyze his sense of taste, but he didn't know one thing—

One bite of Mapo Tofu and Merlin collapsed!

Spicy is a sensation of pain...

"Damn it, Lord Meilin..."

Artoria looked at the 'fallen' Merlin, her eyes filled with resentment.

This was the first time she had ever felt aversion to food.

But now the die is cast and the die is cast.

"Awooo...Pfft!!!"

After taking a bite of Mapo Tofu, Artoria successfully awakened her Red Dragon bloodline—and breathed fire!

Then, following in Merlin's footsteps, the two headed towards Avalon together.

"Gu..."

Seeing that three people had already been 'killed' and one person was 'seriously injured', Red A looked at the Mapo Tofu in the spoon with even more conflicted feelings.

"What's wrong, referee? It'll get cold if you don't eat it soon."

Kirei Kotomine whispered like a devil, "If the deliciousness is lost because it gets cold, I won't accept your judgment."

"Long-winded!"

After glaring angrily at the other party, Red A could only swallow the Mapo Tofu with a death wish.

"boom!!!"

Despite having made ample mental preparations, Red A's brain still went blank for a moment, and he collapsed.

Chapter 539 Simplicity is the Best

"Holy crap! A pentakill!"

The people below were stunned when they saw this.

You've beaten all the judges, what are we supposed to do?

Oh, and there's also Fujimura Taiga standing there.

As expected of Sister Dahe!

I understand now, Kirei Kotomine has malicious intentions.

If the judges can no longer make a judgment, then isn't he the only one in first place?

What a despicable priest!

Fortunately, Captain Dragonfly intervened in time, taking out a bunch of milk and yogurt and pouring them down the throats of the judges.

A few minutes later, the five judges finally came back to their senses, swaying slightly.

They all felt like they had been through hell.

Luvia, in particular, has developed a complete fear of red dishes.

"Out!"

Without any hesitation, all five judges eliminated Kirei Kotomine.

This bastard's murderous dish doesn't even need a rating!

Father Mapo wasn't unhappy about being eliminated; he was already quite pleased with himself.

Hmm, we can try researching double the spiciness.

"Alright, please enjoy my dish now."

After Kirei Kotomine stepped down from the stage, a tall figure rushed up; it was Gawain.

When Artoria saw the pot of mashed potatoes that Gawain was carrying, she was speechless at first, but quickly returned to normal.

She'd already tasted hellish mapo, so what was a little mashed potato compared to that?

"Your Majesty, this is my latest improvement, please try it."

Gawain eagerly placed the pot in front of Artoria, a feeling he truly missed.

I remember that during his lifetime, he would often invite Wang to taste the new flavors of mashed potatoes that he had researched.

Those were truly wonderful times—

The other four: "..."

Hey, where are ours?

You must have misunderstood something, kid!

Merlin reacted quickly, distributing a bowl of mashed potatoes to everyone and leaving the rest for the King.

And afterwards, everyone ate with great relish.

Especially the way our king devoured the mashed potatoes gave Gawain immense satisfaction.

Is Gawain's mashed potatoes really that delicious? — Of course not!

It was precisely because Gawain's mashed potatoes were so ordinary, even bland, that they soothed the taste buds of the five judges who had been hurt by the Hell Mapo Tofu.

I can only say that you timed the serving of the dishes perfectly.

When it came to the final scoring, everyone was given 20 points, and Gao Wen received 80 points as a token of friendship.

Gawain deserves a thumbs up for Kirei Kotomine's performance.

Artoria also gave Gawain a thumbs up; this kid finally learned his lesson and didn't add any strange ingredients to the mashed potatoes.
