A young love story that started with exorcism

"That's right, I can only smell the aroma, I can't taste the flavor, at least tell me about it so I can imagine it."

"The cheongsam is so big"

……

After the clean plate campaign ended, the three judges wiped their lips and said embarrassedly: "It's really delicious. I took a bite and was so addicted to it that I didn't realize it. I had already finished it before I knew it. Haha."

"That's right, the thick steak soaked up the sauce. I thought it would be chewy, but I didn't expect the beef to melt in my mouth. This feeling is even better than A5-grade Wagyu beef."

"The most important thing is that with every bite, a torrent of aroma flows into my stomach, and eventually I am completely surrounded by the fragrance. I feel like I see a herd of cattle leisurely strolling on the green grassland."

These comments made Kanazawa Naoya feel superior, and he couldn't help but curse for a moment: "You guys are hallucinating because of food poisoning, right? How could my dishes be inferior to hers?"

"Hmph, young man, you're too arrogant. Accepting your shortcomings will make you stronger. Your dish is pretty good, but it's still far from perfect. We said before that you were a chef at a star-rated hotel, but this dish is worthy of being in a five-star hotel or above. Don't make yourself look bad."

"Impossible! You wouldn't deliberately belittle me in favor of Hojo Lou, would you? I..."

Before he could finish his words, Hojo Midori took out a dish that she had specially reserved for him and handed it to him.

"If you can't accept it, try it. Let your tongue witness how vast the world is."

Kanazawa Naoya took it and took a bite, his expression changing instantly. He cleared the plate like a hungry ghost. Looking at the clean plate, Kanazawa Naoya knelt on one knee, muttering, "How is this possible? My divine tongue and divine nose are actually defeated?"

In the end, the score was 3-0 and Hojo Miyoko won.

After the food battle, Takahashi Takumi immediately intercepted Kanazawa Naoya's retreat. The energy stream from his tongue and nose showed no sign of escaping. Was it that the EH chat group wasn't paying attention to Kanazawa Naoya, or was there something else going on?

No matter what the reason is, Takahashi Takumi will not let him go and will have to interrogate him thoroughly.

At this time, Hojo Midori crossed her arms in front of her chest and stared at Kanazawa Naoya with cold eyes.

"Kneel at the door of the Beijo Building to receive customers for a week. Don't worry, since we are old classmates, I will ask my father to increase your hourly wage to 950 yuan.

But before that, tell me why you came to Hojo Building to cause trouble?

And you just mentioned your divine tongue and divine nose? As I recall, the divine tongue is a talent only possessed by Erina Nakiri, the granddaughter of the Totsuki Academy's headmaster. And the divine nose, it seems, was a nickname gossiped about among the students by a fellow classmate, Ryo Hayama. Do you have these talents too?"

"Please let me handle the interrogation." Takahashi Takumi grabbed Kanazawa Naoya from behind, like a chicken, by the collar. "Hey, handsome boy, I have a lot to tell you. Would you mind coming with me?"

At first, Kanazawa Naoya refused, but after being thrown up by Takahashi Takumi with one hand and having his head hit the ceiling, he cooperated very well. He immediately said that he also had a lot to say to Takahashi Takumi, so the two of them hit it off and went back to the private room upstairs.

After being shoved into a chair, Kanazawa Naoya sat there obediently, completely losing his previous arrogance. He forced a smile on his face, which was about to cry, and said timidly: "Brother, we can talk about it. Whatever you want to ask, I will tell you everything I know."

At this time, Yotsuya Miko, Yukinoshita Yukino and others all gathered around, wanting to hear what useful words this guy could say.

"The Law of Conservation of Happiness," Takumi Takahashi said expressionlessly.

"What?" Kanazawa Naoya froze for a moment when he said this, but in the blink of an eye he said ecstatically: "Brother, are you also a member of the EH chat group? We are one of them!"

Glancing at the people around him, Kanazawa Naoya seemed to understand something and immediately complained loudly, "So you're all members of the EH chat group? Then there's no need to treat me like this. And Hojo, you're also a member of the EH chat group? You couldn't have joined earlier than me, right? No wonder you're more powerful than me."

If you had told me earlier that you were also a member of the group, I wouldn’t have come to your place.”

Takahashi Takumi looked at this smartass and realized that he had misunderstood that his people were also members of the EH chat group. Now the energy flow of this guy has not disappeared, which means that he has not been kicked out of the EH chat group.

Chapter 117 Opening the EH Chat Group

"Haha, if you say they are one of us, do we believe you? Show us the evidence."

As soon as he finished speaking, Takahashi Takumi unleashed a breathtaking training, mixed with a hint of murderous intent, and pressed Kanazawa Naoya.

Poor Naoya Kanazawa, the ability he got from the EH chat group was to modify his tongue and nose, but his physical strength and spirit were exactly that of an ordinary person. How could he withstand the impact of mental energy mixed with murderous intent?

At this moment, Kanazawa Naoya was like a man holding a piece of rotten wood and struggling helplessly in the sea with huge waves. He was about to faint. The turbulent sea suddenly calmed down. However, before he could catch his breath, he saw Takumi Takahashi's cold eyes staring at him.

"I have the EH chat group on my phone!" Kanazawa Naoya almost had a mental breakdown. In a trance, he took out his own phone as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw and pointed at an APP icon on it.

I took the phone and saw that the icon he was pointing at was a skull with a cross stuck in it, with two bloody capital letters E and H written in the two eye sockets.

Unable to detect anything unusual on his phone, Takahashi Takumi paused for a moment before quickly clicking on the icon. He'd finally caught it, so even if there was something wrong, he had to check it out.

After entering, there is only a very simple interface. In the center is an explanation of the law of conservation of happiness and other announcements about happiness value and chat group rules. There is also an explanation of how to obtain happiness value and its use in the chat group. Below it is a leaderboard and the group chat hall.

Regarding the EH chat group rules:

1. Group members are prohibited from mentioning their real identities or inquiring about others' real identities;

2. It is forbidden to mention or disclose information about this chat group to outsiders who are not group members;

3. Anyone who is involved in the above two points, or the group owner thinks that they may be involved in the above two points, will be kicked out directly

4. The group owner has the highest rights in the group and has the final right of interpretation

Looking at the last point, Takahashi Takumi seemed to see that the forum moderator has the final right of interpretation, which is quite interesting.

A glance at the leaderboard revealed a total of thirteen names, exactly the same number of group members. Each member had a single number as their name, currently ranging from A0001 to A0015, with A0004 and A0011 left vacant.

I think this should be the code name of Anji Bonzi and Nobi Shizuka before they left the group. This means that later people joining will not take over the code name of the person who left the group.

It seems that the size of this EH chat group is not that large. Only 15 people have joined, and two of them have been expelled.

Happiness must be increased by the group members themselves destroying the happiness of others. This is how their own happiness increases. The magnitude of the increase depends on the original happiness of the person being destroyed and the degree of destruction. The higher the original happiness of the person being destroyed and the higher the degree of destruction, the greater the increase in the group member's own happiness.

The first function in the chat group is to consume a certain amount of happiness to gain the support of the group leader, including but not limited to the content of network technology. The second function is to exchange abilities. The specific abilities need to be discussed with the group leader on the final consumption of happiness.

Looking at the group chat hall again, there are only a few people chatting there. Recently, it has been A0014 who has been speaking. He has been showing off his happiness points and saying that he will soon top the list, etc., but no one has come out to pick up his topic.

Moreover, the latest group chat was also posted by A0014 this morning, and the content was that he was about to gain a batch of happiness points today.

Seeing this, Takahashi Takumi had some guesses in his mind. This A丩0014 was probably Kanazawa Naoya. However, he still needed to confirm it with him in person, so Takahashi Takumi pointed at A0014, who was ranked fourth on the leaderboard, and asked:

"Is this A0014 you?"

"Yes, it's me. I'm one of us."

As expected, Takahashi Takumi then clarified his misunderstanding. He thought that he was one of his own, so he would treat him as one of his own. Then he asked with a look of disgust:

"How on earth did you, a piece of shit, join the EH chat group?"

"I don't know. I was fired from Totsuki Resort that night, and I was afraid my dad would scold me when I got home, so I stayed at my mom's hotel. I had a few drinks that night, and I was resentful that no one appreciated my cooking skills, and I was also resentful of my lack of talent, when a message suddenly appeared on my phone: Are you happy?"

Next, according to Naoya Kanazawa, the EH chat group was very optimistic about him and sincerely invited him to join. After joining the group, although Naoya Kanazawa was not interested in the law of conservation of happiness, he was determined to give it a try. With the help of his family's financial resources, he defeated a small restaurant in a food battle and successfully closed it down. Looking at the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren crying beside him, Naoya Kanazawa gained his first happiness value.

After obtaining this happiness value, Kanazawa Nao said that he also wanted the Divine Tongue. Of course, his happiness value was not enough, but he could first improve his sense of taste a little.

In this way, Naoya Kanazawa truly discovered that his sense of taste had improved a lot, so he continued to defeat and destroy those unknown small restaurants. Finally, when he felt that his tongue and nose could rival the tongue and nose of God, he began to become arrogant.

The first thing that came to my mind was Hojo Ro, my former classmate Hojo Midori, and so today's food battle came about.

Hearing this, Takumi Takahashi looked at the interface of the EH chat group on his mobile phone. Damn, even if he knew this was the case, it seemed that he could not find the group owner who created this chat group. Even the group members in the chat group could not be found in reality.

So why were Anji Bonzi and Nobi Shizuka suddenly abandoned by the group leader? Or did he already know that Takahashi Takumi couldn't use the app and then attack through the network with his current abilities?

"Could it be that the owner of this EH chat group is also a cautious ordinary person who just got the golden finger. After getting the golden finger, he always pays attention to the situation of the group members. If he encounters someone with strong combat power and may involve him, he will immediately cut off contact.

Now, this Kanazawa Naoya seems to be pulled in to make up the numbers, or used as a sardine, by letting him quickly collect happiness points, so as to stimulate the EH chat group members to speed up the collection of happiness points? "

All of the above speculations are possible, but it is impossible to get an answer now, so the veil of the EH chat group has been lifted, but not completely.

Chapter 118: Is the group leader the protagonist?

"That's actually the case." Yotsuya Miko realized that she still couldn't find the group owner and couldn't help but feel disappointed. She asked in confusion:

"What on earth is so attractive about this guy? Even if he wasn't a chef, he'd still be a carefree rich kid. He doesn't even believe in the theory of conservation of happiness. Isn't this just giving him the superpower to be a good chef? This is different from Shizuka's sister."

“In the end, we still didn’t get the information of the group owner.”

Yukinoshita Yukino also shook her head and sighed regretfully. She had clearly opened the EH chat group this time, but apart from knowing some basic and unnecessary information, there was no information about the group owner and other members.

However, based on my two previous experiences with the EH chat group, the owner of the EH chat group is obviously quite cautious, and the selected members are in a very difficult situation.

Now this Kanazawa Nao is completely different, so it's possible that he's being used as a test subject. The more this idea came to her mind, the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. So, Yukinoshita Yukino turned to look at Takahashi Takumi and asked:

"Takahashi-kun, do you think it's possible that this person was pulled in as a test subject? For a human modification experiment or something like that?"

Human experiments? So evil? Even if it was human experiments, they were probably like the Anji pot at the beginning, enhancing physical strength or something. Now Kanazawa Naoya has been transformed into a cooking master with divine tongue and divine nose, without any fighting power at all. What are they trying to produce? The perfect chef?

After thinking about it for a while, Takahashi Takumi felt that it was impossible to conduct an experiment on human body modification. He shook his head and explained, "The energy flow on his tongue and nose has very cleverly transformed his taste and smell. There are no unnecessary side effects. Judging from the effect alone, it is undoubtedly perfect.

This is more like the experiment of the secretive EH chat group leader on his own superpowers. He is using Naoya Kanazawa to test his abilities.

Of course, no matter what, Kanazawa Naoya was also a test subject."

"Isn't this still a human experiment?" Yotsuya Kenko asked in confusion.

"The purpose is different. I'm talking about the chat group owner using his super powers to conduct human experiments to achieve some kind of human transformation. Takahashi-kun is talking about the chat group owner using Kanazawa Naoya as a test subject to verify his super powers."

"So what exactly is the superpower of the EH chat group owner?"

Yes, what are his superpowers? The more he learns about him, the more unfathomable he seems to Takahashi. Initially, he was just a cyber-ghost, controlling the internet and surveillance cameras. Then he simply gained physical strength, like Anji Panzi. Later, he could manipulate emotions at karaoke bars. Now, he's been transformed into the Divine Tongue and Divine Nose. I'm not sure how powerful they are, but they look like a good replica.

This is a multitude of abilities. It's even possible that his ability is the chat group, and the happiness points collected by the chat group members are the source of his power. As long as there is happiness points, his abilities will become stronger and stronger. Although this chat group is a bit weird, ignoring the point of destroying others' happiness, isn't it just like the protagonist of some online novels with cheat codes? Is he the protagonist?

If this is really the case, destroying other people's happiness and plundering their happiness value. I'm afraid that the person who can accomplish such an operation is not a positive character.

If the group leader is a person like Xia Youjie in Jujutsu Kaisen, who wants to create a world of strong people with only sorcerers, or other paranoid people who want to achieve some kind of utopian world.

If that were the case, then it would be a big problem. After all, people with such lofty goals are quite patient and keep themselves hidden. Once they are revealed, it will be earth-shattering. Then, people like Takahashi Takumi who have had a grudge against him will surely suffer.

Unfortunately, now I can only stare at the APP on my phone and can’t do anything.

So in response to Yotsuya Miko's question, Takahashi Takumi could only spread his hands, saying that the essence of human spreading hands can solve all the problems you don't know about.

Hojo Midori, who was standing aside, was very surprised after listening to and digesting this information. Although she encountered the hunting of the curse master Yasiro Sugo at the Totsuki Resort, Takahashi Takumi did not say much at the time, and she did not learn more about the other side of the daily world.

She was astonished by Kanazawa Naoya's current situation and the content of the EH chat group. She then muttered to Kanazawa Naoya, a little unconvinced by the transformed Divine Tongue and Divine Nose, and the resulting bonus to cooking skills:

"So it only took you a few weeks to go from being expelled from the Far East to now being able to beat most of the chefs in the Hojo Building?"

"Yeah, in fact, those high-ranking Ten Heroes are nothing. If it weren't for their innate talents, I wouldn't be any worse than them. Now I have the Divine Tongue and the Divine Nose. In the future, I..."

Kanazawa Naoya suddenly stopped talking as he came to his senses. After being shocked by Takahashi Takumi's mental energy, his mind finally started to work again. He seemed to have suddenly realized something. Suddenly, with a sad face, he shouted, "You...you are not from the EH chat group?"

"I never said yes, you are the one who thinks we are."

"It's over!" Kanazawa Naoya forgot his fear for a moment and immediately had a sad face. "I just revealed the EH chat group to outsiders. I'm going to be kicked out of the group. I want more happiness points, I want more powerful talents, I..."

Huh? At this moment, Kanazawa Naoya's tongue and nose suddenly felt numb.

In Takahashi Takumi's eyes, the black energy flow wrapped around his tongue and nose instantly separated from him as if it had received some command, and instantly returned to Kanazawa Naoya's mobile phone, and then disappeared without a trace. Even the APP on the mobile phone disappeared, and there was no installation record left.

Seeing Takahashi Takumi's astonished expression, Yukinoshita Yukino noticed that the EH chat group app icon on her phone had disappeared, and couldn't help but ask, "Did he slip away again?"

“Yes, there is no trace left.”

He could leave whenever he wanted, and there was no way to stop him or guard against him. At this moment, Takahashi Takumi had to admit that he had no way to keep him or find him.

"Maybe he deliberately let us see his chat group from the beginning." Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had just finished recording in her small notebook, suddenly raised this possibility.

If that's really the case, doesn't it mean that even if you look, you won't be able to find my meaning? That would be even worse.

"My tongue! My nose!" Naoya Kanazawa shouted in horror.

Chapter 119: Autumn Trials

At this moment, Kanazawa Naoya reached out and touched his tongue and nose, and was instantly terrified. Suddenly, his tongue could no longer taste the sweetness of his own saliva, and his nose could no longer smell the rich aroma of the soup in the private room. The aroma that had been lingering in his nose just a moment ago was gone, and even the scent of the gel in his hair was gone.

In order to confirm whether his feeling was wrong, he didn't care about anything else. He rushed to the table, grabbed a biscuit and ate it. However, he burst into tears after taking a few bites.

“There is no smell, no smell at all; there is no fragrance, I can’t smell any fragrance.”

Oh, now this is retribution. He destroyed other people's happiness and tried to make him into a divine tongue and a divine nose, but now he was abandoned and recycled, and his original sense of taste and smell were taken away together.

However, no one felt sorry for him. The monkey being whipped did not arouse the audience's sympathy. Some even wanted to see him being whipped a few more times, and even wanted to do it themselves if possible.

"Humph," Hojo Miyoko said to Kanazawa Naoya, who was still crying on the ground with snot streaming down his face, "You deserve this. You don't deserve to be a chef at all. The school was very foresighted in expelling you."

Facing Hojo Miyoko's ridicule, Kanazawa Naoya still said stubbornly: "I just want to be a good chef, what's wrong with me?"

The man was so frightened that his whole body was limp, but his mouth remained tough.

Seeing that he was still unconvinced and refuted, Hojo Miyoko asked disdainfully: "Do you know how to make a good dish?"

"Puff" Kanazawa Naoya spit out a small mouth and continued: "With good cooking skills, you can naturally make good dishes."

"Wrong, absolutely wrong. It's not because you are a good cook that you can make better dishes, but it's because you make good dishes that you can be called a good cook.
