My anime/manga fandom can't be that lazy.

Wow, that's impressive, young man!

"..." Dongfang Bai's lips twitched slightly; he was all too familiar with that kind of look.

"It's Eriri..."

As Dongfang Bai and his group stood at the front desk to order, Kato Megumi looked in one direction and saw Eriri sitting alone in the distance, eating lunch. She seemed to have noticed Dongfang Bai as well, paused for a second, and then continued eating.

It looked unusually calm.

However, his left hand, which was holding the drink, was trembling violently, and he almost accidentally threw the plate away.

"This is too tense." Dongfang Bai said with a wry smile. Just as he was about to invite her to come and eat with him, Eriri blushed and finished the rest of her food in two bites, then ran away with her plate.

Eriri runs quite fast; she's been practicing until she's become incredibly fast. If she were to join the track and field club, she'd definitely achieve great results.

"By the way, I heard that there's a dish called 'Hellish Miso Ramen' in Toyonosaki's cafeteria. It's only eaten by truly powerful people, and it's considered proof of strength."

Just as everyone was about to order, Gabriel suddenly curled the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint, mischievous smile. This girl's devilish smile made Dongfang Bai know that she probably wasn't up to anything.

Gabriel's expression and actions as she speaks next to Satania are exactly like the legendary 'whisper of a demon.' This girl really is a demon in the guise of an angel.

“…Hellish Miso Ramen.” Dongfang Bai muttered to himself. The word “hell” felt a little off. He glanced at Kato Megumi next to him, who just shook her head with a slightly off expression.

Even the saintly Kato Megumi's calm expression changed slightly; he instantly understood that this hellish miso ramen was definitely not something normal.

"Huh?! Is that how it is?"

Satania said in surprise, then suddenly grinned and chuckled softly. At this moment, Gabriel already knew that she had taken the bait easily. Dongfang Bai covered his face with one hand, thinking, "When will this idiot stop being played?"

“That’s right, Bai Jun must have eaten a lot of that kind of food to become so strong!” Gabriel glanced at Dongfang Bai, her eyes flashing with a mischievous light. Anyone with eyes could see that this guy had ill intentions.

Unfortunately, Satania couldn't see it.

"...Ahem, Satania, I suggest you don't eat this for now."

Dongfang Bai coughed lightly twice, then frantically winked at Satania. His winking motion stunned Satania for two seconds, and the red-haired little devil suddenly showed a look of sudden realization as if struck by lightning.

Okay, it seems you're not so stupid after all; you understood what he meant so quickly.

Just as Dongfang Bai was about to speak, feeling a little relieved, the foolish demon blurted out, "I understand! This is Master's trial! As long as I can eat that, I'll become stronger, right?!"

Come on, the fact that this guy is a complete idiot is unchangeable.

"Auntie! A bowl of hellish miso ramen, please!!"

Completely oblivious to Dongfang Bai's intentions, Satania excitedly ran to the front desk and shouted to the older woman. The woman froze, her voice trembling slightly as she asked, "Are you... sure? Are you really sure you didn't order the wrong thing?"

"Yes! That's it! Hellish Miso Ramen!"

"One serving... Hellish Miso Ramen!"

The older woman shouted towards the back of the cafeteria, and immediately half the people in the cafeteria looked towards the front of the cafeteria, their eyes filled with panic, shock, and a hint of pity.

Looking at the gazes of the people and the older woman around him, Dongfang Bai sensed that things were probably not going well. What exactly was this so-called 'Hellish Miso Ramen'? Why were so many people wary of it?

Finally, after a ten-minute wait, all the noodles for everyone were served. The ramen for Dongfang Bai and the other two was fairly normal, but Satania's bowl...

Bright red! A striking blood red, like the fruit of the devil, staining everything from the broth to the noodles and side dishes. Occasionally, you can even see a few tiny devil peppers in the broth.

What kind of bizarre food is this?!

"Satania...why don't you choose another bowl?"

Dongfang Bai was a little stunned when he looked at the bowl of noodles. He could feel the strong 'chili smell' coming from the bowl of noodles even though he was sitting opposite it. In fact, half of the people in the cafeteria could smell this terrifying odor.

This smell is extremely pungent and can easily make your eyes red and watery if you're not careful. And this is just the smell!

Why are there such strange things in Toyonosaki's cafeteria?

"It is said that hundreds of warriors have challenged this place in the history of Toyonosaki, but without exception, they all ended up in the infirmary." Kato Megumi's expression also changed slightly; she definitely couldn't eat this kind of food.

"Whoa, this seems a bit too much..." Gabriel's eyes widened. This thing looked much more terrifying than the rumors suggested. Would her prank send Satania straight back to hell...?

This is truly hellish miso ramen! One bite and you're instantly transported to hell.

"Wow, it looks delicious!" Satania squinted her eyes happily. What she said was incomprehensible not only to Gabriel, but even to Dongfang Bai. A normal person would have realized something was wrong the moment they saw this bowl of noodles.

Why didn't this idiot notice anything at all!

"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely pass the trial! Hahaha~" Satania laughed confidently. Gabriel was too close to her, and she was horrified to find that her face was being tainted by this terrifying aura.

No wonder when this bowl of noodles was served, there was no one around Dongfang Bai's table for several meters...

"Then I'll start eating!" Satania picked up a piece of noodles with her chopsticks. The bright red noodles were stained with the horrifying broth. She ate it directly into her mouth, and her expression froze instantly.

Gudong.

That was the sound of swallowing. Gabriel was a little flustered when she saw such a terrifying scene. Could she accidentally kill this demon on the spot?

"It's so spicy, but it tastes amazing!!" Satania gave a thumbs up. Although her cheeks were flushed from the spiciness, her happy expression was genuine and there was no pretense.

Is this for real...?

Gabriel was completely dumbfounded. Why would noodles look like this when they already seemed so exaggerated in appearance? Was her information wrong, or was this bowl of noodles just an empty shell that only looked spicy?

"Can I try?" Dongfang Bai asked Satania curiously as he leaned closer. He couldn't just watch Satania get tricked by the adorable Gabriel the Great Demon King; he had to help this idiot win this time!

“Oh! Of course, Master’s order is no problem!” Satania generously pushed her 'Hellish Miso Ramen' towards Dongfang Bai, who smiled and took a bite.

The moment the noodles touched his lips, he had only one thought.

Holy crap, is this even food for humans?!

Dongfang Bai took just one bite and felt cold sweat pouring down his back, but he controlled it well, his expression remained quite normal, at most his face was a little red.

"It's really not very spicy. That's strange. Could it be that they didn't give us any chili peppers?"

Even Dongfang Bai's expression made Gabriel even more puzzled. How could this be? This bowl of noodles looks so exaggerated, how could it not be spicy?!

However, Gabriel noticed that Satania hadn't experienced any problems after eating it. That idiot couldn't fake it! Dongfang Bai also tried it and said there was no problem either, which made Gabriel even more puzzled.

"Really...?" Gabriel frowned her beautiful eyebrows. She had wanted to play a prank on Satania, but she hadn't succeeded. It seemed that the information about the so-called 'Hellish Miso Ramen' must be wrong.

"Try it if you don't believe me." Dongfang Bai pointed to the bowl of noodles. Gabriel, who was always very curious, hesitated for a second, then leaned over, picked up a mouthful of noodles, and ate it in one go.

Um……?

Something seems off.

Her delicate, fair cheeks turned red rapidly at a visible speed, as if a flame was burning in her mouth. The moment it entered her mouth, an exaggerated spiciness stimulated her tongue and then rushed to her brain!

Gabriel's face froze, her hand holding the chopsticks slipped, and she leaned back in her chair, looking up at the sky and fainting on the spot! She just passed out!

She would never have imagined, even as she passed out, that Satania, that idiot, was a taste-deaf person who could barely perceive any flavors, which was why she could accept this terrifying 'hellish miso ramen,' while Dongfang Bai, due to his exceptional self-control, did not express it.

Several tens of minutes later.

"Strange, why did Gabriel faint? That bowl of noodles tasted pretty good..." Satania looked at Gabriel, who was being held in Dongfang Bai's arms, and she still couldn't understand why this was happening.

"Maybe he fell asleep because he stayed up too late."

Dongfang Bai took out a handkerchief and kept wiping the fine sweat from his forehead. Although he only took a small sip, its power was not to be underestimated. This move could be described as "hurting the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of your own." It would be difficult to deceive the suspicious Gabriel without using such a trick.

"Pfft..."

Kato Megumi, standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud at Dongfang Bai's embarrassed expression; it was just too funny.

"I see... So Master! Have I passed the trial?!" Satania looked at Dongfang Bai expectantly, while he twitched his lips and reached out to pat the silly little devil on the shoulder.

"You're already a demon in your own right." Dongfang Bai meant this wholeheartedly. He himself dared to say that he absolutely couldn't finish that bowl of noodles, but this silly girl in front of him not only ate it, but also looked completely satisfied afterward.

"What...!? That's great~!" Satania laughed happily upon hearing this, then skipped away.

"Is Bai Jun alright? Tianzhen just fainted."

"It's okay. I think I only took a bite, but I didn't eat much. Besides, I'm physically strong." Dongfang Bai was glad that he was physically strong and could barely tolerate the spiciness.

"Pfft...cough!" After a while, Gabriel finally opened her blue eyes and began to look around. Dongfang Bai took out a bottle of mineral water that he had prepared in advance and handed it to her. She opened it and drank it down in one gulp.

tons tons tons...

She gulped down a whole bottle of mineral water into her small body in one go—she can really drink that much! It seems she really was hurt by the spiciness. With a look of lingering fear, she whispered, "Big White, you bastard, you tricked me!!"

0 ····Requesting flowers···· ········

"I didn't expect you to actually fall for it." Dongfang Bai smiled slightly. If Gabriel hadn't been so suspicious, she might not have been fooled.

"For a brief moment just now, I felt like I saw my parents in heaven..."

"There's nothing wrong with that statement, but I still feel like something's off," Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes and complained.

Gabriel suddenly adopted a serious expression, clasped her hands together like a devout believer, and prayed, "God, please destroy humanity!"

These words don't sound like something an angel would say.

……

"So, how much has been prepared for tonight's test of courage event?"

........ .. ...

"Report! We've located the exact location!"

A group of girls were secretly holding a meeting in a room, and the one in the lead was none other than Kashima and his two companions, who were guarded by Fumino Furuhashi. With a sly expression, she said, "Very good!"

"Next, all we need to do is make sure that Higashikata-kun and Princess Fumino are in the same group! Then we just need to create all sorts of opportunities in the forest!"

"Creating opportunities?"

"That's right! We're going to send people in to play ghosts and monsters, and then scare them!"

Kashima's suggestion was clearly correct, and the others around him all had an "I see" expression on their faces. There was a rule in the test of courage competition that it was usually a pair of men and women.
