Erina hesitated for a moment, but at Senzaemon Nakiri's prompting, she stood up and walked to Lani, looking at the aloof girl with long blue hair.
"open mouth."
"what..."
Although she felt a little embarrassed, Erina obediently opened her mouth.
Lani stepped forward, a hint of magic flashing in her eyes. After a brief observation, she extended her finger, which glowed in a way that was visible to everyone, and gently touched Erina's tongue.
Feeling the touch of fingers on her tongue, Erina was about to back away when she suddenly realized that although it was just the touch of fingers, it gave her a taste she had never experienced before.
It wasn't the taste of fingers, but a very special sensation. It wasn't food, but it made Erina feel as if she were eating a dish.
The scenery before her eyes changed instantly, and Erina found herself on a desolate and vast land. In the distance, there was a towering tree that emitted a golden light but was slowly burning.
The scene changed again, and Erina saw Lani, her body tattered, in a dark cave. She held a dagger and struck a monster that looked like it had two huge fingers. Then she sat helplessly on a rock.
The scene repeats itself, and a man dressed in armor, wielding a giant sword, walks over.
After removing his helmet, Lu Yu's face was revealed. He walked up to Lani and took her hand.
The scene stops there, and Erina's consciousness returns to the real world.
She looked around blankly, then at Lani, who had withdrawn her finger, and Luo Yu, who was sitting over there.
"What...what was that I just saw?"
Lani looked at Erina, who had a blank expression, with interest and nodded, saying, "Indeed, this God Tongue is a special ability. It can see a fragment of my memory through my little bit of magic. Ordinary humans with this ability will definitely have great side effects without good control and training methods."
Alice tilted her head, feeling as if she had heard something incredible.
Luo Yu glanced at Alice but didn't pay her any attention. In any case, given the Nakiri family's situation, they would tell the two sisters these things sooner or later.
In contrast, Luo Yu was more interested in Erina's God Tongue, never expecting that she could taste something even when she came into contact with magic.
"Hmm, it seems that it was the right decision not to let me do it myself. So, Erina, what did you see just now?"
"I..." Erina was still somewhat bewildered, but she still said, "A strange world, a giant golden tree, a monster with two fingers, and Miss Lani who was injured, and Mr. Luo Yu who came here, but why is all of this so strange? Why am I seeing these things?"
Luo Yu said with a smile, "The Tongue of God, the Tongue of God, it's really special, and you really can't control it. That's not a good thing. Let me think about how to help you control your tongue."
Controlling your tongue—that sounds really strange.
Now, Senzaemon Nakiri is filled with hope for Lani's move and is looking at Luo Yu expectantly.
Then, the Nakiri family saw that Luo Yu, without knowing how, produced an ancient book out of thin air and began to search through it.
Lani also looked over: "Your Majesty, is it written here?"
As Luo Yu searched, he said, "There aren't any exactly the same ones, but there are similar cases, which are related to hearing. This book is by Servis, and it describes the characteristics of one of his dolls. However, he accidentally destroyed it while researching it, leaving only the records."
While Luo Yu was searching, Alice also took small steps and curiously looked behind Luo Yu.
Then she saw a series of words on the book that she couldn't understand at all.
"What is this? These are all unfamiliar characters!"
Turning to look at Alice, who was blinking her big, curious eyes, Luo Yu smiled and said, "It's normal that you don't understand the problems of another world."
"Huh? Another world?"
Chapter 103 Sealing the Tongue of God, Bloodline Research (2/2)
Looking at Alice's adorable, puzzled face, Luo Yu smiled, placed his hand on the table, and a wisp of cold air emanated from his hand, which then solidified into a ten-centimeter-tall, transparent Alice ice sculpture doll under everyone's gaze.
"Here, take it and play with it. Don't bother me while I'm looking for something."
Wow, it's so cold! It's really ice! It appeared out of thin air!
Looking at the ice sculpture doll in her hand, which exuded a chilling aura and was almost a carbon copy of herself, Alice's eyes widened. She excitedly spun around on the spot and then ran to Erina's side.
"Erina, look! It's me!"
Erina was also shocked as she looked at the ice sculpture doll in Alice's hand.
At the same time, she also knew that the scenes she had just seen were not illusions, but were likely real scenes from another world.
Just then, Luo Yu spoke up.
"Ah, found it. Is it a form of atavism? That's quite possible. It's just that there's no corresponding training method, causing the body's functions to not match. Just as I thought. In other words, the Nakiri family also had a possessor of the God Tongue in the past?"
Senzaemon Nakiri nodded: "That's right, but according to family records, the results weren't very good."
It seems the Nakiri family's bloodline is quite unique.
Raising his head, Luo Yu looked at Erina, who was still standing, and said, "I have two choices for you now. First, I will disable your God Tongue and turn it into an ordinary tongue, without its former effects, so there will naturally be no side effects."
Upon hearing this, Erina instinctively exclaimed, "No!"
Senzaemon Nakiri was quite pleased with Erina's choice, since it was just as he had found in his family's ancient records: the God Tongue was more of a curse than a special talent.
After saying nothing, Erina hesitated for a moment, then looked at Luo Yu and said, "Mr. Luo Yu, let's put my matter aside for now. Do you have a way to deal with my mother's God Tongue?"
"Your mother's God Tongue?" Luo Yu pondered for a moment and then shook his head. "I won't make any conclusions before I see her in person. But considering that she has been troubled by the side effects of the God Tongue for so many years, it can probably be compared to a terminal illness. Solving it will definitely not be a simple matter."
Of course, Luo Yu didn't rule out any possibility; it's indeed difficult to draw conclusions before meeting the person in person.
Seeing that Luo Yu hadn't ruled out the possibility of a definitive answer, Erina breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Then, what about the second method?"
Luo Yu raised a finger, a faint glowing magic emanating from its tip, and said, "I will seal your Divine Tongue, turning your tongue back into an ordinary person's tongue for a short period. Under these circumstances, I will arrange a series of training sessions for you to improve your body and mind to a level that can match the Divine Tongue. During this training period, I will also conduct more detailed research on your Divine Tongue, and I will try to make up for the deficiencies of your Divine Tongue from the perspective of bloodline."
Nurarihyon, who had been silent until now, smiled and said, "That's possible too, isn't it? Sealing and stuff? And replenishing bloodlines, too?"
Luo Yu nodded: "Putting bloodline aside, I have experience with sealing. I once helped a friend of mine temporarily seal her uncontrollable Yin-Yang eyes. As for the God's Tongue, it's similar, not too difficult."
"Oh? The ability to see ghosts?" Nurarihyon became interested. "These days, there are fewer and fewer people born with the ability to see ghosts!"
Luo Yu smiled and looked at Erina, saying, "What do you think? If you can accept it, I can seal it for you right now. But the consequences are also obvious. As a chef, you have experienced the benefits of God Tongue since you were a child. Now that you have suddenly lost it, it will inevitably have a certain impact on your cooking skills. You are one of the Ten Elites of Totsuki Academy. Fluctuations in your cooking skills are very dangerous."
Erina fell silent. She knew that Luo Yu was right. As one of the Ten Heroes, she had to demonstrate her strength at all times.
But considering the consequences of the God Tongue continuing to grow, Erina took a deep breath, looked at Luo Yu and said, "I choose the second option, seal my God Tongue."
Luo Yu nodded and looked at Senzaemon Nakiri, who hadn't spoken.
Senzaemon Nakiri also stood up and bowed to Luo Yu.
"Luo Yujun, thank you for your trouble."
"It's nothing. Besides, after tasting Erina's cooking for a few days, I don't want such a talented chef to ruin her future. As a shareholder, I'm looking forward to tasting even more delicious food in the future."
After saying that, Luo Yu stood up, walked to Erina, and gently touched her forehead with his finger under the girl's nervous and apprehensive expression.
With the input of magic, Erina felt a subtle change in her tongue, but since she hadn't tasted any food, she didn't know exactly what it was.
Alice watched Luo Yu's actions with curiosity and said, "Is that all? I thought he was going to put his hand into Erina's mouth like before!"
Erina, her face flushed, glared at Alice as she opened her eyes: "If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"
"A little bit!"
Alice, completely unafraid, stuck out her tongue at Erina before curiously approaching Luo Yu and saying, "Luo Yu-kun, is this magic? Can I learn it? If I could learn your method of creating ice sculptures out of thin air, I think my cooking skills would definitely improve!"
"Cooking with magic?" Luo Yu smiled and looked at Alice. "Yes, that is indeed quite feasible. And as far as I know, there are indeed some chefs in this world who possess superpowers similar to the God Tongue."
Other chefs with superpowers?
Not only Alice, but Erina also looked at Luo Yu with curiosity.
Senzaemon Nakiri nodded in agreement: "That's right, there are indeed some. In fact, among this year's freshmen in the high school, there is a student who possesses a rudimentary superpower, but he hasn't yet reached his full potential."
Luo Yu recalled that it must be that stalker named Mimasaka Subaru. Through tracking and research, he was able to perfectly replicate his opponent's dishes and make improvements.
At the beginning of the original work, he was indeed a very annoying character, but later on, this character was gradually improved and provided a lot of help to the main characters with his special abilities.
"We'll talk about the superpowered chef later. The seal on the God Tongue is complete. Let's try this."
As he spoke, Luo Yu took out a simply packaged milk candy from his pocket and placed it in Erina's hand.
"Normally, you definitely wouldn't eat something like this, but now, give it a try."
Chapter 104 The Sealed Tongue of God (1/2)
Looking at the milk candy in her hand, Erina knew that this was the most common milk candy in ordinary stores, a pure product of the food industry with little technological content.
Thinking this, Erina took a deep breath, unwrapped the paper, and put the white milk candy inside into her mouth.
The next moment, her tongue tasted a milky and sweet flavor, which made Erina's eyes widen.
"This is different from the candies made by other chefs that I've eaten before. Although it doesn't taste particularly good, I don't feel too much discomfort! But similarly, I can't taste the more subtle flaws that I would normally notice."
After Erina looked at him, Luo Yu smiled and nodded: "It seems that the seal I made was just right, not too heavy-handed, and it also sealed your normal sense of taste. You probably haven't eaten yet, go and cook something for yourself and try it."
Seeing that the problem with Erina's tongue could be gradually resolved, Senzaemon Nakiri was somewhat relieved.
Although it's not completely solved, I've recruited many talented students, which can serve as a backup plan.
Standing up and looking at Erina, Senzaemon Nakiri said, "Erina, try to get used to your new tongue. Luo Yu-kun, thank you for your help to Erina. Although you're already a shareholder of Totsuki, I still want to thank you and prepare a gift for you. This old man won't bother you this afternoon. Let Erina show you around Totsuki. Nurarihyon, let's go find a place to have tea."
"Alright, let's go. I'm quite interested in the changes that have occurred in Totsuki."
After Senzaemon Nakiri and Nurarihyon left, Erina let out a breath and looked at Luo Yu and the other two, saying, "Everyone, please come with me. After I finish eating, I'll show you around Totsuki Culinary Arts."
"No rush, just take it one step at a time."
"I'm coming too, I'm coming too!"
Alice happily raised her hand and said, "Erina always relied on her God Tongue, now let's see if you can still taste the problems with my cooking!"
"Hmph, come on if you dare! Even without God Tongue, I'm still one of the Elite Ten of Totsuki!"
After following the two to the villa's kitchen, Luo Yu saw Hisako Shinto and Ikumi Mito preparing his lunch.
Seeing that Erina had brought Luo Yu and the other two with her, the two were quite surprised and immediately greeted them.
Then, they saw Erina standing in front of the kitchen counter and starting to wash her hands.
Hisako Shinoto immediately went over and said, "Erina-sama, I can prepare lunch."
Erina shook her head: "You guys just prepare your own things first, I want to try some things."
Mito Ikumi walked over and said with surprise, "Could it be that Lady Erina is going to research a new dish?"
"No, I just want to see if I still have the strength of the Elite Ten."
"Ugh?"
Seeing their confusion, Alice placed her small ice sculpture on the table and then came over to quietly explain the whole story to them.
The drawbacks of the God Tongue, Erina's mother's situation, and the magical powers of Loyu and Lani sealed the God Tongue.
The sudden halt to the series of events left Hisako Shinomiya and Ikumi Mito wide-eyed, as if a new world had opened up for them.
After explaining, Alice ran back to Luo Yu's side, holding the small ice sculpture, and asked, "Luo Yu-jun, how long can this last?"
Luo Yu replied, "Although a little magic was used, it is still just an ice sculpture. It can only last for about half a day outside, which is already its limit. Putting it in the refrigerator can preserve it, but the cold air will naturally make the ice sculpture lose its current details."
"Oh, what a pity, she's so beautiful!"
Looking at the ice sculpture in her hand, Alice felt very regretful, then looked at Luo Yu and asked, "Luo Yu-kun, you haven't answered me yet, can I learn magic?"
Seeing Alice's persistent attitude, Luo Yu smiled and said to her, "Hold out your hand."
"Hand? Here!"
Without hesitation, Alice extended her fair right hand, her long, slender fingers were beautiful, clearly showing that she took good care of them.
Then, with a shy feeling in her heart, Luo Yu took Alice's hand and began to examine her talent.
While not entirely accurate, the examples of Hino and Yurikawa Hana suggest that it's still possible to determine whether someone is suited to learning magic.
As expected, Alice also felt the magic transmitted by Luo Yu, and no longer caring about her shyness, she stared wide-eyed with curiosity.
"Is this magic? What an amazing feeling!"
Now, even Hisako Shinoto and Ikumi Mito looked over curiously, and Erina, who was chopping vegetables, also frowned slightly as she looked at Alice.
Erina never expected that Alice would actually want to learn magic and use it in cooking.
But considering what her grandfather had said about the superpowered chef, and her own God Tongue, Erina could somewhat understand Alice's thoughts.
During the simple test, Luo Yu released Alice's hand and looked at her, saying, "Well, Alice, you do have a talent for learning magic. But whether I can teach you or not is not up to me. I suggest you ask your grandfather first and see what Grandpa Nakiri thinks. This is not as simple as just finding a teacher and learning a skill."
"Like this?"
Alice didn't quite understand, but she nodded nonetheless and said, "I understand. I'll ask Grandpa about it later. Now, Luo Yujun, can we exchange contact information? If Grandpa agrees, I can contact you directly!"
Luo Yu did not refuse Alice's enthusiasm and took out his phone to add her as a friend.
