Silver-white short hair.
In the dim light, it looked like frost.
In terms of appearance, she was definitely not inferior to her sister, Erina.
Her facial contours were clear, like lines carved by a knife, giving her a kind of exotic mixed-blood beauty and purity.
On closer inspection, you could see that her eyes were deep blood-red, as bright as freshly coagulated blood.
Just entering the tavern.
Alice was full of curiosity, unable to help but look around.
Although it hadn't opened for business yet, you could still feel that the interior space was designed so logically.
The bright kitchenware and various exquisite equipment were further highlighting the fact that this tavern, while small in scale, was fully equipped!
"Hmm?"
"Isn't that Erina?"
Seeing Erina eating dinner behind Alice, Zane hesitated.
"Zane, let me introduce you."
"This is my cousin, Alice!"
"She used to live in Northern Europe, and only returned yesterday because she wanted to transfer to Tohgetsu this year."
"And then, she accidentally heard about your deeds from Grandpa, so she wanted to come to the tavern tonight and see your culinary skills."
Then, Erina came to Zane and introduced Alice.
But soon, she discovered that her senior, Sonoka, was actually here in the tavern, and was even sitting with Zane, eating Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?
It's really Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!
I thought so, why did it smell so good as soon as I came in?
"Cousin?"
After taking a look at Alice, Zane "oh"ed and nodded.
...
In his impression.
This straightforward Alice actually had a strong desire to surpass Erina.
But because she herself didn't possess the talent of the God's Tongue, no matter how hard she tried, she was destined to never catch up to Erina's footsteps.
Nevertheless, as the other Miss of the Nakiri family, her achievements in the culinary world were still remarkable.
At the age of 5, she left Neon Country and has been working on molecular cuisine research every day at the "Nakiri International Research Group" in Northern Europe.
At the age of 9, she had already grown powerful enough to dominate the international competition for authoritative molecular cuisine held throughout Northern Europe.
And at the age of 10, she obtained as many as 45 patents, and also entered into contracts with over 20 restaurants, cooking shops, and cookbook research associations.
In short, just in terms of molecular cuisine.
Alice was undoubtedly a once-in-a-century genius in this field!
...
At the same time.
As Zane was responding nonchalantly.
Alice, those blood-red eyes were rolling.
After sizing up Zane in front of her, she retracted her gaze, muttering to herself with her head down, "I didn't expect it! This mysterious Chef Zane is even more handsome than I imagined."
"Good evening, this is my first time at the tavern, sorry if we're disturbing you!"
"Hehe!"
"Visitors are always welcome, how can you say you're disturbing us?"
Seeing Alice's warm initiative to shake hands, Zane could only quickly shake hands with her.
Obviously, unlike when Erina first came to the tavern, this Alice was quite polite.
"Zane, are you... eating Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?"
As for Erina, she asked knowingly afterwards.
After watching Sonoka eat with such relish, she began to feel a bit peckish herself!
"What? Do you want some?"
Seeing Erina eagerly wanting to eat, Zane chuckled.
"I do."
"No... no, I don't want!"
Erina blushed after stammering. She actually wanted to sit next to Zane like Sonoka and eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall with him. But for some reason, seeing Zane's mischievous smile made her feel like she shouldn't give in so easily, lest he take control of her with his cooking from now on.
"Alright!"
"Don't I know you?"
"The tableware is all set for you. Come over and eat together."
Seeing Erina wanting to eat, but not daring to speak up, Zane couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
But indeed, since the tavern opened, it had never been so lively before the official opening.
So, he was actually quite happy to have more people to dine with him in his heart.
...
At this moment, the rich aroma still hadn't dissipated.
Erina, who had just sat down, couldn't hide the excitement in her heart.
Yes, indeed.
The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in front of her must have been prepared by Zane!
After all, only his cooking could stir up such intense excitement before even tasting it.
Yes, I have to hurry and eat, can't let Alice snatch it away first.
So, Erina hurriedly took a bite.
Unexpectedly, at that moment of the first taste, with her God's Tongue ability, she was immediately shocked, unable to snap out of it for a long time.
What's happening?
This Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, has my God's Tongue failed me again?
Let me think, this mixed yet pure flavor, seems like fish maw, fish lips, fish stomach, sea cucumber, shiitake mushrooms...
Oh?
So many ingredients?
At this moment, Erina's mind started to race.
Just like the previous times at the tavern, she wanted to use her God's Tongue ability to analyze all the ingredients of this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish.
However, the more she analyzed, the more panicked she felt.
This extremely pure-tasting Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish turned out to be so complex that even her God's Tongue gradually couldn't distinguish it.
Of course, despite being unable to discern all the ingredients, this dish still made her God's Tongue find it very delicious.
...
"Erina, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Erina spaced out after just one bite, Alice couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Because in her memory, Erina never showed this kind of intoxicated and contemplative expression over a dish!
"Hurry, quickly, taste it."
"Weren't you keen to experience Zane's culinary skills?"
"This Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is definitely a very good dish!"
Coming back to her senses, Erina looked deeply at Alice.
Although she felt very excited inside because of this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, she still tried to maintain a calm demeanor and urged Alice to quickly taste it as well.
"Is it true?"
"Then let me taste it too..."
With that, Alice quickly served herself a small bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Using a small spoon, she gently scooped up a bit and slowly ate.
"What... What kind of dish is this?"
In an instant, Alice's eyes widened, showing the same excited and incredulous look!
