857 Its Stinkiness is Just a Ruse

“Gulp.”

Everyone swallowed in unison at the sight of Amy’s blissful expression. They knew that this stinky tofu was astonishingly putrid, but they still couldn’t help but try to imagine its delicious flavor as they looked at Amy’s joyful reaction.

Amy made everything she ate look extremely delicious, but even Sally and Babla were quite curious about just what this abhorrent stinky tofu could taste like.

Yabemiya was just about to run away when a hint of surprise also suddenly flashed through her eyes. Her agitated dragon tail settled down, and she closed her eyes as she carefully inhaled the aroma wafting through the air. “This is not just a purely stinky aroma; I can smell a special fragrance hidden deep within it. The more I delve into that special aroma, the more pronounced it becomes, and it’s very warm and mild, making me want to explore it even further.”

After a brief hesitation, Yabemiya sat back down in her seat before appraising the stinky tofu dish before her.

Just like all of the dishes that Mag had made in the past, this stinky tofu was very appetizing in appearance.

The black tofu didn’t appear to be hideous in the slightest, and after being stuffed with condiments and drizzled with that rich brown sauce, it appeared to be very alluring instead.

The overwhelmingly putrid aroma had already transformed into a rich and unique fragrance that was extremely captivating.

What will this dish taste like? Yabemiya glanced at the blissful Amy beside her, and then also picked up a piece of stinky tofu with her chopsticks. The black exterior of the tofu had been fried to a slightly yellow tinge, and its center was stuffed full with condiments. The green coriander that had been sprinkled all over the dish provided a perfect finishing touch that gave the dish a refreshing appearance.

“The best way to eat stinky tofu is to eat an entire piece per mouthful,” Mag suggested with a smile.

One piece at a time? Yabemiya looked down at the piece of tofu between her chopsticks, only to find that it was just the right size for an adult mouthful, but it most likely wouldn’t be very elegant to eat an entire piece in one mouthful.

After some brief hesitation, Yabemiya still placed the entire piece of stinky tofu into her mouth before biting down on it.

The spicy juices encapsulated within the stinky tofu instantly flourished within her mouth, and for a split second, her mind went completely blank.

Her body’s first reaction was to spit out the stinky tofu right away. However, she then discovered that there was an unimaginably delicious flavor intermingled with the intense spiciness.

Beyond the crispy exterior was an extremely soft and smooth tofu interior, and the spicy juices instantly made all of her taste buds come alive. The abundance of condiments and also presented her with a diverse variety of textures, and she felt as if a delicious pot of warm soup were bubbling within her mouth.

“Rip!”

Two buttons immediately flew off the front of her maid uniform, revealing a section of her fair and alluring cleavage.

Even so, she still couldn’t bear to spit out the stinky tofu in her mouth. She raised her head upward as she panted with her mouth open, and her cheeks were bulging, but she no longer had any spare capacity to worry about her appearance.

The stinky tofu was extremely hot, but far too delicious for her to bear spitting it out!

The scorching temperature in her mouth quickly receded along with the spicy flavor, but another unique and delicious flavor instantly flourished to take its place.

This was an extraordinary dish that had the crispiness and fragrance of deep-fried tofu, and its interior was only slightly firmer than tofu pudding, but it was so delicious and refreshing.

On top of that, the condiments and secondary ingredients gave the dish a soul, and made it absolutely irresistible.

After swallowing her first mouthful of stinky tofu, Yabemiya’s eyes remained closed for a long while.

All of the stinkiness had vanished, and a rich intoxicating fragrance lingered in her mouth as well as in the surrounding area.

This fragrance filled every single nook and cranny in the air around her, and she felt as if she’d been completely enchanted.

Only after a long while did Yabemiya open her mouth, and as soon as she did so, she exclaimed, “This is too delicious! Words fail to describe this delicious flavor. This is something that you’ll never forget after eating it once. In particular, when the flavor first flourished inside my mouth, that was an incredible feeling!”

A smile appeared on Mag’s face upon seeing this. The aroma of stinky tofu had been unforgettable to him, even though he’d never eaten it in his past life, so of course it was even more unforgettable for those who’d actually tasted it. It appeared that the dish that he’d made certainly lived up to stinky tofu’s lofty reputation.

His gaze then lingered for a moment on Yabemiya’s chest. It appeared that it was time to make a slightly larger uniform for her; this type of fanservice was way too much for him!

Is it really that good? Sally and Babla were both quite intrigued, even though it was very difficult for them to imagine that such a foul-smelling dish could be so delicious.ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ N(o)v????l(F)ire

However, Yabemiya didn’t continue in her description. Instead, she picked up another piece of stinky tofu with her chopsticks before placing it in her mouth like a devout believer. She immediately fell into the hot and spicy trap again, having to pant to alleviate the heat, and then swallow the mouthful of tofu at the most perfect moment.

This was a very special experience, and it would be a completely different culinary experience if one were to taste the dish after it had cooled.

Inside the restaurant, Amy and Yabemiya sat across one another with blissful expressions on their faces while enjoying their stinky tofu. Meanwhile, Mag, Sally, and Babla looked on in silence from outside the molecular isolation barrier.

“Do you want to try it?” Mag asked the two of them with a smile.

“No.” Sally still shook her head in a firm manner.

However, Babla’s expression had become rather hesitant. She’d already lost count of the number of times that she’d had to surreptitiously gulp down her own drool, and she knew that she might not be able to handle the abhorrent aroma of the dish, but she still couldn’t help but be tempted at the sight of Amy and Yabemiya’s blissful expressions. It was as if there were a demon sitting on her shoulder, constantly trying to goad her into trying the dish for herself.

She was a princess who had to have fresh fragrant flowers placed in her living room every day, and she’d always avoided foul-smelling objects, but in that instant, she was really tempted to sample this dish.

“Big Sister Babla, even though my stinky tofu is super delicious, I can let you taste a piece.” Amy picked up a piece of tofu with her chopsticks before turning to Babla with a smile on her face.

A drop of rich sauce dripped down onto her plate from the piece of tofu, and at that moment, the black and putrid piece of tofu was so alluring in Babla’s eyes that it was as if a golden halo had appeared around it.

“Gulp.”

Babla swallowed another mouthful of drool, and she’d even taken a small step forward before she’d realized it. However, she stopped just before she was about to step into the isolated space, and she crossed her arms with a determined look on her face as she said, “I definitely won’t eat any stinky foods.”

“This is a truly delicious dish! Its stinkiness is just a ruse.” Amy shook her head as she moved her chopsticks closer to Babla’s mouth, and then smiled as she said, “It really is super delicious.”

A rich aroma immediately wafted toward her, and it was so strong that for a split second, she couldn’t even tell whether it smelled good or not. However, one thing was for sure: this was definitely an aroma that she wanted to run away from.

However, just as Babla was about to refuse again, her mouth suddenly opened and accepted the piece of stinky tofu, almost against her will.
