Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

"Oh, is this it?"

Gu Yun finally realized why the other person looked familiar—it was the biological father of the male protagonist of The Spirit of the Medicine King.

Chapter 252 Word Power: It Can Definitely Be Considered Gourmet Food

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that the Medicine King has not yet been born.

The reason for this judgment is that Erina Nakiri's mother, Managi Nakiri, who is about the same age as the Medicine King, is still single.

The Nakiri family is also a member of the Iijima Alliance, and they have a good relationship with them.

Nakiri Soe's overseas research institutes were funded by the Iijima family.

Thanks to this relationship, the Nakiri family also gained considerable benefits. Because of the connection between divine favor and the people and things related to the Iijima family, things would change for the better to some extent.

"He carries the blessing of the benevolent gods."

Suzuka ate the complimentary side dishes. She had always been very picky about food, but she had great respect for the chefs.

Suzuka treats people from all walks of life and all kinds of people with the same seriousness and determination as long as they are doing something earnestly and carrying out their own will. She will not laugh at or look down on anyone.

Of course, those things and people that might hurt others are another matter.

"Humans always have a few outstanding geniuses."

The spirit of words found it strange at all; the blessings and curses issued by benevolent and malevolent gods were basically recorded in her past life.

If the pure world is the source of blessings and the impure world is the source of curses, then the power of words is equivalent to the supreme person in charge of managing both.

"Just between you and me, I can undo the blessing and the curse."

Gu Yun has gained a new understanding of the power of words. Fortunately, he is there to keep an eye on things, otherwise no one knows how much trouble the little devil will cause.

"Guest, your meal is ready."

Soon, Seiichiro Saiba brought everyone's dishes to the table.

"Oh, it looks pretty good."

With his arms crossed, Yan Ling said in an air of superiority, "Kid, my standards are quite high. Are you sure you want my critique?"

"???"

Saiba Seiichiro glanced at the Word Spirit, somewhat bewildered: "You are…"

"Humph."

The Word Spirit said, "I have tasted all the delicacies in this world. Although your work is not bad, it is still somewhat lacking compared to all the chefs throughout history."

"..."

Saiba Seiichiro didn't know how to respond to Kotodama's words, so he looked at Gu Yun: "Chuunibyou?"

"Hahahaha~~"

Gu Yun did not defend Yan Ling. Instead, worried that Saiba Seiichiro would be killed by the enraged Yan Ling, he specially set up a protective barrier for him.

The barrier is weak; it's only temporary.

No matter what kind of barrier it is, as long as it is set up by Gu Yun himself, Yan Ling will have to be wary and dare not touch it easily.

"Hey!"

Yan Ling naturally saw Gu Yun's methods, but she was still very angry: "I'm super powerful! Among the chefs I've met, there are countless people more powerful than you!"

The afterlife stores all knowledge, as well as memories of the past.

So what Yanling said is correct; she has indeed 'tasted' all the delicious dishes of the past, present, and future.

Furthermore, if the Word Spirit requires it, she can even copy the knowledge and skills of these chefs, directly becoming the strongest chef in history, the kind that transcends the ordinary and reaches sainthood.

Unlike Suzuka, who respects everyone, Kotodama is notoriously arrogant.

In the eyes of Kotodama, chefs are nothing more than laborers, servants, and maids.

How dare someone like that mock her?

Word of Power: How dare you! I curse you!!!

"Aww!"

Unfortunately, before Yan Ling could make up her mind, her little head was punished by Gu Yun's chop: "People kindly serve food, you can't be so rude, hurry up and eat your food."

"Woo~~~"

Faced with Gu Yun's tyranny, Yan Ling couldn't muster any thought of resistance. She could only pout and, while eating, point out all the flaws in the dish.

"what?!"

Saiba Seiichiro looked at the Word Spirit in surprise.

He is still young and has a lot of room for improvement, and he has never thought that he is invincible.

To Seiichiro Saiba's surprise, this little girl, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, was actually able to accurately point out the flaws in his cooking.

Although there are some things that Seiichiro Saiba cannot do for the time being, there's nothing that can be done about it.

But even Seiichiro Saiba himself hadn't noticed the bigger problems.

Admittedly, Kotomine's attitude was arrogant, but her comments were truly beneficial to Saiba Seiichiro.

"Miss, who exactly are you?"

Seiichiro Saiba knew about the God Tongue, but he didn't think it could reach this level.

Because the flaws and problems mentioned by the Word of Power were beyond Saiba Seiichiro's comprehension, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it 'magic'.

"Just treat her like a spoiled princess."

Gu Yun took out his chopsticks and began to enjoy the food in front of him with Suzuka.

He ate slowly, savoring each bite and mentally reviewing its merits and demerits.

"Humph!"

Ignoring Gu Yun's persecution, Yan Ling jumped onto the stool and arrogantly said, "You, red-haired brat, in consideration of the fact that you served me a decent meal, I will bestow a favor upon you in the name of Yan Ling!"

"After you die, you can enjoy the pinnacle of cooking with the culinary masters of all time in your next life!!"

"..."

Seiichiro Saiba's lips twitched slightly, but fortunately he came from Totsuki Culinary Academy, a culinary school brimming with chuunibyou (delusional) energy.

Seiichiro Saiba has seen quite a few girls like Kotodama.

As for how to deal with it, well, just nod in agreement and then ignore it.

"Thank you very much, young lady."

"Call me Lord Word Spirit!"

"Hey, Lord Kotodama, thank you for your grace."

"Pfft~"

Gu Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud while eating.

"Okay, hurry up and get down."

While enjoying his food, Gu Yun raised his hand and gently patted Yan Ling's bottom twice, signaling him not to stand on the stool, as it was too impolite.

"But you're lucky, boss."

Gu Yun didn't explain the meaning of that sentence, and Saiba Seiichiro was completely confused.

Because the promise of the Word of Power was true, Seiichiro Saiba had no idea what kind of blessing he had just received. It was a ticket to the Hall of Heroes, comparable to that of warriors, and a ticket to the pinnacle of achievement, alongside countless artisans.

Although the little imp's attitude isn't great, she'll never be stingy with all sorts of good treasures, gifts, and blessings if you can make her happy.

"I'm stuffed."

Just then, Suzuka put down her chopsticks and elegantly wiped her mouth.

Seiichiro Saiba looked at Suzuka, wanting to hear this aloof and mature woman's opinion.

For some reason, Seiichiro Saiba felt that Suzuka was quite unusual.

The opponent exuded the aura of a 'strong person,' creating an insurmountable barrier that left him with no will to resist.

'This is no opponent I can challenge.'

The gap is too big!

Chapter 253 Guiding You

"Your cooking is delicious, thank you for your hospitality."

However, it is clear that Seiichiro Saiba misunderstood.

The aura of power emanating from Suzuka has absolutely nothing to do with cooking, because in her eyes, food only has two levels: delicious and edible.

Just like the two dishes that Seiichiro Saiba served, they reached the level of 'delicious'.

But Suzuka couldn't say exactly how delicious it was.

She wasn't very familiar with this field.

Due to her personality, she simply couldn't bring herself to say the word "disgusting," even though the other person's cooking skills were indeed mediocre and far inferior to Seiichiro Saiba's.

However, as long as you put your heart into it, Suzuka will not belittle you.

If you insist on having her decide the winner, Suzuka will choose to summon a Word of Power to let her show off her sharp tongue.

"That's it?"

Seiichiro Saiba was somewhat surprised; he had never expected Suzuka to react so calmly.

It is important to know that the chefs of Totsuki Temple possess a special power that allows them to induce diners into a brief, immersive illusion through their cooking.

But the three people in front of me...

Why are they not reacting at all?

"The food tastes good, but it's still far from being top-notch."
