Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

A gentle breeze stirred around Nakiri Managi.

At first, the wind was so weak that it only made the bowls and chopsticks on the table tremble slightly and sway gracefully.

But in the blink of an eye...

The wind, however, seemed to be propelled by an invisible force, and suddenly intensified.

It swept through the area, engulfing the small restaurant in a sudden storm. Tables and chairs swayed, doors and windows creaked, and the earth shook. Everything was disrupted by the sudden gale!

"Amazing!"

The strong wind made Annie sway and almost lose her balance.

Her eyes widened, her heart churning with overwhelming shock, and she blurted out, "Just a bowl of porridge, and it actually made Lady Managi activate the [Transmission Pulse] skill!"

……

At this moment.

Anne was deeply troubled and unable to calm down.

She hurriedly turned her head and looked at Ye Chen beside her.

However, he remained calm and composed, as if everything happening before him was just a trivial matter.

To know.

Anne brought Managi to this small restaurant this time.

The original goal was to use the rare gem meat, a rare ingredient in this world, to cure Nakiri Managi's anorexia.

She was convinced that the highlight of the trip would be the gemstone flesh.

but.

Who can think of it?

Ye Chen's meticulously prepared medicinal porridge dish.

It's astonishing that it could satisfy Nakiri Managi, who possesses a divine tongue and has extremely strict standards for judging food, to the point that it even triggered the magical skill [Transmission Pulse].

"My God!"

"All the chefs in the world."

"A height that one could never reach even after a lifetime of effort and exhaustion, yet Ye Chen accomplished it so easily?"

Annie felt that her understanding had been completely overturned.

The look in their eyes as they looked at Ye Chen was filled with disbelief and deep respect.

……

quickly.

The wind subsided and quietly stopped.

The once noisy restaurant has gradually returned to its usual tranquility, as if the previous commotion was nothing more than a brief and lively dream.

Nakiri Makoto slowly snapped out of his reverie, lost in the delicious food.

Her face radiated satisfaction and contentment, a long-lost, heartfelt joy.

after that.

Raise your head slightly.

She looked at Ye Chen with tender and grateful eyes, and said softly, "Thank you, Ye Chen!"

"It has been a very, very long time since I have truly experienced the feeling of fullness when my stomach is filled with food."

"This feeling is just..."

"Fantastic!"

After saying this, the emotional Nakiri Managi could no longer hold back the tears that had been welling up in her eyes.

Like pearls from a broken string, they slowly slid down her fair and delicate cheeks.

Each tear carried the tenderness and emotion deep within her heart that had long been untouched, shimmering with the light of happiness under the warm yellow lamplight.

Chapter 10 Different Levels

Tongue of God.

It has always been shrouded in mystery.

It not only represents an extreme sensitivity and appreciation for taste, but also symbolizes an ability to penetrate appearances and reach the essence of food!

thus.

In the eyes of ordinary people.

The tongue of God is irreplaceable and is often mythologized as a supernatural ability.

After all, many times, cooking is like the blind men and the elephant; there's no single right answer. You have to figure it out slowly, correcting your mistakes along the way.

This process is very long and energy-consuming!

The function of the Tongue of God is to know the correct answer in advance.

such as:

Nakiri Erina.

She can taste the dishes and then use them directly on the spot in the food battle, instantly raising Soma's cooking skills to a top-tier level!

Her mother, Managi Nakiri, became one of the most influential WGO Executive Officers in the world.

A large part of the reason is that she possesses the tongue of God.

……

but.

Behind the glamour lies untold hardship and suffering.

Due to their excessive pickiness about food tastes in the later stages, every owner of the God Tongue will gradually develop a disease:

Anorexia!

Many times, Managi almost lost her life because of anorexia.

She wasn't unaware that she was going to die, but she couldn't eat. That agonizing feeling of extreme hunger coupled with a deep aversion to cooking haunted her for the rest of her life.

For her.

Eating has long since become a form of torture.

Eating is no longer eating; it's become a struggle and internal conflict. All food becomes numbers, and the brain is constantly calculating.

It feels like every extra bite I take is a plunge into hell!

and.

I can't taste the deliciousness of the food.

Even foods I used to love can no longer bring me any joy.

However, deep down, Managi Nakiri still longed to eat delicious food. She especially envied and felt jealous when she saw others wolfing down their meals!

Beyond eating, the most significant psychological state is a feeling of unworthiness.

Suffering from anorexia, Nakiri Managi was on the verge of collapse several years ago.

She lost her confidence.

At the same time, they no longer love themselves.

They believe they don't deserve any of the happiness in the world!

It is said that anorexia is one of the deadliest mental illnesses, with 20% of patients eventually dying without active treatment.

Furthermore, the ultimate fate of all the previous hosts of the God Tongue in the Nakiri family was to die from starvation.

Therefore.

Nakiri Managi foresaw her future fate early on.

So perhaps out of fear of death, or perhaps because she still felt resentful, she has been desperately seeking dishes that can conquer the tongue of God all these years.

……

Theoretically speaking.

Ultimately, the one who can cure her anorexia might be Erina Nakiri, who also possesses the God Tongue.

Firstly, magic must be used to defeat it, and the curse of the God Tongue can only be broken by the God Tongue in the end!

Secondly, Erina is indeed very talented.

However, in the original story, she hasn't grown to the level of Managi Nakiri yet. If she were given more time and allowed to mature further, wouldn't that mean her cooking would eventually satisfy Managi?

Of course, no one can know the answer to this question!
