Chapter 224 Expectations

"You did this?!"

Having finally recovered, Erina Nakiri immediately turned to Ryo Kurokiba and asked him a question.

"It's not me, it's him."

But under her gaze, Kurokiba Ryo did not nod. Instead, he turned his head and gestured for Nakiri Erina to look at the person next to him.

"you?!"

When Erina Nakiri looked in the direction the other person indicated, she couldn't help but show an expression of disbelief when she saw that Hoshino Gogawa seemed to be a boy about the same age as herself.

If that dish really was made by Hoshino Gokawa, it would be too outrageous! After all, you have to understand that even Nakiri Erina, who has the God Tongue, couldn't reach the level of those culinary masters at that age. In other words, what he made could be a signature dish in a five-star restaurant.

"Um……"

When Hoshino Gokawa saw Erina Nakiri looking at him with those eyes, he didn't deny it. Instead, he made more sushi for her to try. As for why he did that?

That's because Hoshino Gokawa wasn't sure if the other person had eaten lunch, and since making sushi doesn't take much time, he decided to make a little more for them.

"..."

After witnessing Hoshino Gogawa unleash a sword beam from his superhuman body, Nakiri Erina was momentarily speechless.

She was even a little unsure if it was all an illusion, because in Erina Nakiri's knowledge, no chef could swing a cleaver so many times that it created multiple afterimages and...

That's sword energy, isn't it?! Hey!

Looking at this scene, Erina Nakiri was starting to doubt her life. Although her God Tongue was also very powerful, it didn't seem as outstanding as the knife skills of Hoshino Gokawa.

Unless her God Tongue can learn from the three tigers in Toriko and make her tongue very long, then others might look at her with great shock. However, one thing is uncertain: whether the people who look at her will feel scared, creeped out, or disgusted.

"That's all for now. I still have dinner to cook at home. Oh! And one more thing! I'd like to share my thoughts on your dish. If possible, you should reduce the pressure when shaping the sushi by about 10 to 15 grams."

In addition, the tuna slices you cut should ideally be 2 to 3 millimeters thinner, and the overall size of the sushi should be about one-tenth smaller. This will likely result in a better texture for the sushi.

Putting aside other aspects, in terms of intensity, Hoshino Gokawa is absolutely capable of giving the character a powerful and unparalleled performance. His skill is undeniable, and his character is incredibly versatile and captivating.

Given Hoshino Gokawa's current physical density and strength, he can create an effect of a category 18 typhoon or higher simply by turning his head. Isn't that amazing control?

To borrow a phrase from Haihu, they have almost all reached 90% or even 100% of the complete realm.

Not intending to linger any longer, Hoshino Gokawa pushed Kurokiba Ryo's portion forward, clearly implying that he thought the other's food was better. The reason might be that Hoshino Gokawa's taste threshold was too high, making them all seem similar, somewhat like a version of Erina Nakiri's mother's "God Tongue".

As I said before, how could someone who can control all the cells in his body not regulate his sense of taste?

However, one difference is that he won't experience the feeling of chewing wax when eating. After all, God's Tongue is essentially just a superhuman sense, and since it's a sense, it's naturally within Hoshino Gokawa's control.

After saying all that, Hoshino Gokawa prepared to make a quick getaway, since if he stayed any longer, things might take an even stranger turn. Of course, he didn't forget the fish he had bought and put in the refrigerator when he left.

"Wait! Wait a minute..."

Before Erina Nakiri could finish speaking, the other person vanished like the wind in a flash.

When Hoshino Gokawa stopped again, he had already dashed out of the Nakiri family mansion. During this time, some security guards tried to figure out what was going on, but unfortunately, Hoshino Gokawa was too fast for them to keep up with, so they had no way of knowing who had run out.

Therefore, they had no choice but to go back and ask Erina Nakiri, who was still in the mansion, for her opinion.

But the problem is, she doesn't know who that person is. How is she supposed to find them?!

The thought had barely crossed her mind when she immediately remembered that the person was brought by Alice Nakiri. So Erina Nakiri quickly asked her for details and eventually learned the name of Hoshino Satoru.

Then she asked someone to collect the other person's personal information, since Erina Nakiri had never experienced being far surpassed in cooking by someone her age.

not a single one!

Of course, such an investigation into a person using one's authority would naturally be reported to Senzaemon Nakiri.

In a sense, it's quite a pity. In modern times, where is there any privacy? As long as you have money, you can even buy the information you need from the Japanese government. You might not even need to do that; as long as you're willing to stand up for yourself, others will personally deliver what you want to you.

"Oh! This is really interesting..."

Then, just seconds after Erina Nakiri received Hoshino Gokawa's personal information, Senzaemon Nakiri received the exact same content, which was roughly about Hoshino Gokawa's experiences from elementary school to the present.

What's most striking about him is his unprecedented record during his elementary school years, where he could take on hundreds of older students without even breaking a sweat.

Besides that, there's the score of 88, which hasn't changed much. Anyone who isn't stupid can tell that this score was intentional.

After all, what normal student would get the exact same score for several years in a row? That would definitely be a master of score control. So this proves from another angle that Hoshino Gokawa not only has an extraordinary physique, but also an amazing learning ability.

In other words, he is a guy whose talent is so well developed that he is considered a monster in the eyes of ordinary people and even geniuses.

But it was precisely because of this that Senzaemon Nakiri felt an indescribable excitement. If the other party was really such a monster, he could definitely stand at the pinnacle of chefs, and that might be able to help his granddaughter and his daughter.

While the God Tongue is indeed powerful, Senzaemon Nakiri doesn't actually want his daughter and granddaughter to have such an ability; in fact, he considers it a curse.

Because of the blessing of the tongue of worship, the current life of the Nakiri family is not very happy. After all, besides Nakiri Erina, there is only an old man like himself left in the house.

Chapter 225 Delicious

Meanwhile, Hoshino Gokawa, who had started his "Running Man" mode, didn't forget that he was out buying groceries. So he went into a large convenience store nearby, bought the ingredients he needed, and then quickly returned to the Fujiwara family's door and tapped it lightly.

"Thud!"

The door was pulled open the next moment.

"Wuchuan, you're back!"

When Fujiwara Chika saw him return carrying a large bag, she was clearly very curious about what he had bought and what he planned to do next.

"Hmm... I was delayed a little on the way, I'll go cook now."

Hoshino Gokawa nodded slightly, then changed his shoes into slippers and walked past Fujiwara Chika to the kitchen next to the restaurant.

"Let me see what you bought..."

Fujiwara Yutaka, who was also very curious about what Hoshino Satoru had bought, immediately leaned over to take a closer look after he placed the large bag of ingredients on the table.

Then, after seeing what ingredients were inside, he asked in surprise, "Cousin, how much did you spend?!"

Seeing that the bag contained pig's trotters, fish, and beef, Fujiwara Toyomi guessed that the other party must have spent a lot of money, but she didn't know the exact amount because there was no receipt from the convenience store cashier in the bag.

However, the absence of a receipt did not mean she could not calculate the cost by looking at the labels on the meat. Before Fujiwara Toyomi could even take out her phone to calculate, Hoshino Gokawa had already opened all the packaging and put it in his pocket. As for the ingredients, he laid them out one by one on the table.

Hoshino Gogawa's intention in doing this was quite clear: he didn't want them to give him the money for grocery shopping. After all, this amount of money was nothing to him at the moment, but it was a lot of money for the Fujiwara sisters, who had limited allowances.

At least outside of the Lunar New Year, they wouldn't receive that much money, so Fujiwara Toyomi, as the most sensible eldest sister, was very concerned about how much her cousin had spent.

After all, Hoshino Gokawa is a guest right now, and you're asking a guest to go out and buy groceries and then cook for them? Do you think that's appropriate?

Fujiwara Moeha and Fujiwara Chika may not understand, but as the eldest sister, Fujiwara Toyomi must understand the intricacies of human relationships involved.

Since Hoshino Gokawa doesn't intend to reveal the price, she can only talk to her father and the others that night and let them handle it.

However, these are not the main focus right now. The main focus right now is Hoshino Satoru's performance.

"Brush! Brush! Brush!"

Putting everything else aside, their knife skills were so amazing that it felt like they were hallucinating, because they were so fast! Hoshino Gokawa didn't need any other tools at all; he peeled all the vegetables on the table with just a kitchen knife, and it didn't even take him three minutes.

"Wow! So awesome!"

Seeing this scene that seemed like a magic trick, Fujiwara Moeha was the first to be unable to contain her excitement and started cheering and jumping for joy, because it was really cool and amazing!

"what……"

Fujiwara Chika, who also witnessed this scene, was so shocked that her jaw dropped. Her cousin's knife skills were so outrageous that they were practically straight out of a manga.

In all these years, she has never seen any chef who can do that.

"Do you usually cook for yourself, cousin?"

Fujiwara Toyomi couldn't help but suspect that Hoshino Gogawa had actually built their house all by himself, otherwise how could he have such outrageous skills?

"Well... I do cook sometimes, but not often. Most of the time, my mom cooks by herself."

Even when he looked up to talk to her, Hoshino Gokawa's hands never stopped moving, as if he never considered that he might cut his own hand.

However, his lack of concern did not mean that others were not worried. But after seeing that Hoshino Gokawa was unharmed no matter what he did, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Once the ingredients were ready, Hoshino Gokawa started cooking, but the process was a bit tedious, so he skipped it and went straight to lunchtime.

Then the table was filled with various dishes, including braised pig's trotters, black pepper beef ribs wrapped in tin foil, fried fish cakes, tomato and egg soup, and some vegetables.

Most of them were Chinese-style, and a small portion were Japanese-style. The reason is simple: Hoshino Gokawa hadn't had Chinese food in a long time, so he wanted to try making it himself today.

After all, there is one thing you have to admit: Chinese cuisine is leading the world in terms of variety and flavor.

"Wow! It smells so good!" ×3

Even before tasting the dishes, they had already given themselves a mental suggestion: these dishes must be incredibly delicious; the aroma alone was enough to make their taste buds tingle.

"Is that so...then don't just sit there, start eating!"

After saying that, Hoshino Gokawa took the lead and picked up a piece of pig's trotter into his own bowl and started eating it with gusto.

His actions made the three Fujiwara sisters forget about being reserved and start to eat heartily. Of course, as ladies, they still had to pay attention to their image, at least in front of Hoshino Gokawa.

Wow! It's so hot!

Although Fujiwara Chika accidentally burned herself while stuffing a piece of short rib into her mouth, she didn't let go of the food in her mouth. Instead, she blew on it a few times to cool it down before continuing to eat.

She even started to learn Hoshino Gokawa's way of eating, abandoning chopsticks and using her hands instead. As a result, her lips were almost covered with sauces of various colors, but even so, Fujiwara Chika did not mind and continued to enjoy the food in front of her.

As for Fujiwara Toyomi and Fujiwara Moeha, the situation was similar, although the former was the most reserved of the three sisters, but even so, she still ate with a bit of grease.

There's one problem they don't seem to have considered: how long will it take to burn off all those calories?

I wonder if the three of them will be turned into little pigs after Hoshino Gokawa did this.

Then, after lunch...

The three sisters, having eaten and drunk their fill, lay on the sofa with expressions of satisfaction that, though different, conveyed the same meaning.

"Wuchuan, you're such a good cook, could you teach me?"

Then, as if she had thought of something, the second eldest sister, Fujiwara Chika, turned her head and said to Hoshino Gokawa.

"No problem, if you want to learn, I'm willing to teach you."

Hoshino Gokawa, upon hearing that the other party wanted to learn cooking from him, did not mind at all and readily agreed.

Chapter 226 Suggestions

However, no matter how talented or quick-learning Fujiwara Chika is, she can't compare to Hoshino Gokawa. Moreover, she's not the type to develop in all aspects, so her progress in cooking is basically like that of an ordinary person, and she makes mistakes from time to time.

But precisely because of this, there's no need to worry about Chika Fujiwara creating some kind of culinary disaster.

But their eldest sister, Fujiwara Toyomi, is different. She always has a vague sense of ambiguity and always appears very calm. In a sense, this state is actually quite dangerous. If you add a bit of yandere traits to her, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

After all, don't you think Fujiwara Toyomi's usual tone of voice is similar to that of some other purple-haired woman with bandages wrapped around her hands?

Therefore, compared to Fujiwara Chika, Fujiwara Toyomi's cooking skills are much worse. I don't know why she always turns a dish that's almost finished into a culinary disaster that will make your face contort at the crucial moment. In other words, she always messes up at the critical moment.

I don't know if this is natural or cunning, but at crucial moments I always inexplicably want to add something.

Then, in the blink of an eye, it was evening when the Fujiwara sisters' parents returned home. As soon as they arrived, they heard Fujiwara Moeha excitedly saying things like how delicious her cousin's cooking was.

"Really?"

Fujiwara Daichi was somewhat incredulous upon hearing this, as it would take at least a decade or more of culinary experience to achieve such prowess! And now his daughter was telling him that her nephew could do it at the age of twelve—wasn't that a joke?

"Um……"

Hoshino Gogawa did not deny this, after all, there was no way to hide this matter unless he did not reveal his special nature in the first place, but the problem is, how could that be possible?

"..."

For this very reason, Fujiwara Daichi was unable to define whether the other party was a genius in the human sense or a "genius" that transcended human understanding.

As for why I think this way, it's the same old story: a normal person's energy is ultimately limited, and even the most talented person is limited by the human body.

On the contrary, Hoshino Gokawa possesses both exceptional physical strength and learning ability; in other words, if the hardware configuration is high, then the system cannot be too weak either.

"Wuchuan, have you ever gone to the hospital for a physical exam or had your IQ tested...?"

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Fujiwara Daichi asked him this question.

"No."

Hoshino Gokawa, who couldn't possibly not understand the meaning of those words, ultimately shook his head slightly.

"Have you thought about going there?"
