Aryan broke a piece of the outer layer, grabbed some stuffings in it, dipped it in one of the white chutney, and chomped it down...…
Outer layer's crispy and crunchy texture accompanied by the salty hot mashed potatoes. The combination was something that Aryan had never tasted in his life. Not in the present, nor in his past.
While he was savoring the taste and texture 'boom…..' something exploded in his mouth. A new taste surfaced in his mouth. A feeling of hot and spiciness. Before Aryan reacts to the spiciness' boom, boom', two more flavors came into light. A balanced bomb of sweetness and sourness. Aryan was getting confused over the different tastes but at the same time, enjoying their combination.
A smirk appeared on Yoshino's face when she saw Aryan's color changing and confused expression over the combination of tastes. She knew something about that dish called Dosa, but didn't tell him anything about it, and kept it a secret for a surprise.
The bombardment of tastes inside Aryan's mouth had just started then, after the combination of sweet and sour came many different combinations, sweet and spicy, sour and spicy, sweet, salty, and so on...…...
The endless bombardment of flavor tastes was creating chaos in his mouth. His brain and taste buds were having a hard time to recognize the different tastes and label them.
And to Yoshino's surprise, Aryan stopped showing different expressions on his face, all she could see now was an expression of joy and content. He had stopped thinking about the different tastes and engrossed in savoring it.
When Aryan tried the other chutney, a new series of flavor bombs exploded in his mouth, and like the first time, he enjoyed the second bite without overthinking about them. Within some minutes, the outer layer and the stuffings were gone.
He looked at the plate in a daze and with a confused expression on his face. Yoshino laughed at the confused Lil boy and asked, "Lil Aryan, should we order another serving?"
"Huh, What? No, What happened to the Dosa?? I was eating it, and now it's gone!!"
"Fufufu, that's the wonder of the eastern spices. The more you try to understand, the more you will get confused. The best way to understand them is don't try to understand them."
"...."
"Bounced over your head?"
"Yes, completely bounced,"
"Fufu, it's a common expression. What I wanted to say is don't try to understand them, just savor and enjoy its taste. The more you enjoy it, the closer you will get near to understand its taste."
Aryan nodded head and didn't say anything, now that he had finished the Dosa he was getting a burning sensation in his mouth, the aftereffects of the spices.
Yoshino laughed at him and offered him some water, but to her surprise. It couldn't kill the aftereffect of the spices. While he was gulping down another bottle of water, a small girl in a yellow dress came, served him something in a bowl, and went away.
While Yoshino and Aryan were pondering the Lil girl's identity, the serving boy came and told them about her identity. The small girl was the chef's daughter. And her name was Akihiko, or Aki in short.
Even though he told them about the Lil girl Yoshino had a torn of questions, she began by asking, "Boy do tell me why the Lil girl served us food? Is it a special service?? And why didn't she tell us anything and left??? Are you forcing her to work? Are you having a hard time????...."
Hearing the bombardment of questions, both Aryan and the serving boy were getting a cold sweat. They tried to intervene in the middle, but to their disdain, they faced utter defeat.
The chef working at the back of the booth heard some commotion and came out from his hide to stop them. He started by apologizing to Yoshino, "Miss, I am really sorry, and please forgive my Lil girl if he had offended you and your brother."
Listening to his apology, Yoshino stopped all of a sudden, and her face became flushed red. None of the three present there couldn't understand what in the world happened that stopped the chatterbox and make her feel embarrassed.
Taking advantage of the situation, the chef of the stall went near the bowl served by her daughter and opened the lid. He was expecting some messy or disordered food inside it, but to his surprise, he found two dessert dishes inside it. One was white, and the other was black, he observed them carefully from all sides, smelled them from near, then closed the lid again.
His expression after putting down the bowl was that of a dumfounded person.
'Just what in the world happened!! His five-year-old daughter, who couldn't use Mystic Creation till an hour ago, used it successfully and made desserts out of it!!!' His mind was becoming chaotic to found out the triggering possibilities.
His daughter went through the once in a lifetime Special Awakening and awakened the unique power of her cultivation technique Mystic Creation, and to add up the frustration as his father, he didn't even know the triggering possibilities, nor he was present with her at the time of awakening.
He took deep breaths, calmed down her mind, and asked Aryan and Yoshino to wait for some time. Before they could reply to anything he escaped the place and went behind the booth. While Aryan was waiting for his return, he smelled two sweet smells from his rear.
The smell was coming from the bowl with the lid on it. Aryan went near, picked up the bowl, and removed the cover. 'Fashhhh' two sweet but completely different aroma entered his nose. Unconsciously, he dripped saliva again to eat those deserts.
Observing all these events from the sidelines, Yoshino didn't intervene with him and let him do what he was doing. Seeing the father and daughter, she had a hunch that little girl who served the desserts before have inherited multiple cultivation techniques, just like Aryan.
One was Mystic Creation most probably from her mom's side, and the other would be Fate Diversion if her hunch is correct.
Without further ado, Aryan picked up the white dessert and put it in his mouth. "Guup," his mouth closed, the second he put it in. The soft yet heavy white round balls melted his insides. The burning sensation he was getting earlier from the spices disappeared from his mouth, and a sweet taste spread all over.
