In the crowd, Amon Kotaro and Kusaba exchanged a glance and silently started walking.

"Boss, give me one of these too!"

The two of them arrived at the stinky tofu stall with great determination.

As he got closer, Amon Kotaro had already decided in his mind that these people at the stall were definitely not ghouls.

Ghouls cannot eat human food, but that doesn't mean they have no sense of taste.

No ghoul would be foolish enough to come and eat this filthy thing.

He would never have gone near it if it weren't for his senior's orders.

"A sincere offer is 1000 Dan."

"How many?".

Chapter 34 Amon Kotaro, conquered by stinky tofu

A serving of tofu consisting of four small pieces costs 1000 Dan?

For a moment, Amon Kotaro thought he had misheard.

This is a rip-off, this is definitely a rip-off.

However, in order to complete the mission, Amon Kotaro had no choice but to reluctantly pay a huge sum of money.

I hope my senior will reimburse me when I get back.

Xiao Beichangtan silently accepted the money. She could sense the strong man's reluctance, and she understood. She wouldn't have been willing to spend so much money on stinky tofu either, even though it was delicious.

Xia Tian didn't care about any of that. She quickly packed several portions of stinky tofu and distributed them to the three of them.

"Your stinky tofu is ready, please take it."

Kotaro Amon held a plate of stinky tofu, looking at the dark, lumpy stuff. The stench that was always there, constantly wafting into his nose, really made him lose his appetite.

Especially when you receive this stinky tofu, it's so close that you don't even have a third hand to cover your nose.

He really couldn't stand the taste, and he wanted to throw it away, but that didn't seem right.

After all, with the boss's watchful and expectant gaze, he had a strong intuition that if he dared to lose this food, the outcome would definitely not be good.

Enduring the pungent smell that made his head spin, Amon Kotaro gritted his teeth and carefully forked a piece of stinky tofu with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

His fierce features were filled with rejection, but since things had come to this point, he could only take a few bites haphazardly.

Looking at his expression, Little Binchotan felt deep sympathy. This must be what happens when you eat a Devil Fruit, but she was also looking forward to seeing what he would do next.

This stinky tofu smells bad, but it tastes delicious. Once you get used to its deliciousness, even the stench becomes a virtue.

"Well--"

Spinning and jumping with my eyes closed, Amon Kotaro was so overjoyed by the taste of the stinky tofu that he danced around on the spot.

"It's so delicious, how can it be so delicious?"

Kotaro Amon's eyes gleamed with excitement, as if he had discovered a new world. He picked up another piece of stinky tofu with his chopsticks and carefully put it in his mouth, as if savoring a work of art.

The outer skin of the stinky tofu is fried until crispy, making a "crunch" sound when you bite into it, while the tofu inside is as soft as a sponge, soaking up the rich sauce. The unique flavor spreads in your mouth, leaving you with an unforgettable aftertaste.

"Caochang, you should try this, it's really delicious."

A satisfied smile spread across Amon's face, as if the whole world had become a better place because of this stinky tofu. Investigators and ghouls didn't matter; all he wanted to do at that moment was eat.

Looking at the stinky tofu in his hand, the person next to him gritted their teeth, pinched their nose, and ate it.

"Oh my god, someone ate it again!"

"Judging from his expression, he seems quite engrossed. Can you really eat something like that?"

People around him were drawn to his reaction. For some reason, even though it smelled terrible, some of them gradually felt that there was a strange attraction to the stench...

Hideyoshi Nagachika watched as the others ate with relish.

He subconsciously swallowed, turned around and walked towards the stinky tofu stall. Young people are more receptive to new foods.

"Boss, I'll have one too."

He was a student who, after finishing his work-study program today, planned to grab something to eat on the way. But he was so curious about the stinky tofu that he decided to order some.

Hideyoshi Nagachika didn't have high hopes for this strange food; as long as it wasn't bad, he could tolerate eating it.

But after taking the first bite of stinky tofu, Hideyoshi Nagachika's pupils widened slightly.

Delicious! Incomparably delicious.

This was an experience he had never had before, as if it had opened up a new world for his taste buds.

The unique stench melted instantly on his tongue, transforming into an indescribable deliciousness. He closed his eyes, savoring this wondrous change, a surge of indescribable joy welling up within him.

"It's so delicious!"

Hideyoshi Nagachika exclaimed in surprise.

He originally thought the stinky smell of the tofu would make it hard for him to swallow, but at this moment, he was deeply attracted by the smell.

He picked up another piece of stinky tofu and put it in his mouth. This time, he paid even closer attention to savoring its unique texture and flavor.

He ate with increasing gusto, just like he couldn't stop eating once he started chewing gum!

"Five more, boss!"

"Two more servings, boss!"

Hideyoshi Nagachika and Kotaro Amon spoke in unison, and after they finished speaking, they looked at each other with expressions of mutual understanding.

The two men pulled out their money with unusual speed.

And with Ryoko Fueguchi, the promoter, right next to them, they kept eating.

Several adventurous students also joined the team.

"Boss, one serving of stinky tofu, please!"

"Me too!"

"And I!"

After the first wave of customers placed orders, more and more brave individuals dared to try it.

The fact that so many people ate stinky tofu without causing any trouble is enough to prove that the food is really delicious.

In front of the stall,

Ryoko Fueguchi stood quietly, holding ten servings of stinky tofu.

I had many more questions for the boss, but summer brought a lot of work, and there were also two CCG investigators on site...

After a moment of silence, she left quietly and ran quickly toward the antique coffee shop.

(Thank you so much for your monthly tickets and flowers!)

Chapter 35 The Ghouls Who Cry

Antique coffee shop.

Ryoko Fueguchi hugged Hinami Fueguchi, who was still grieving and fearful, and told everyone everything.

"How could there be... food that we could eat..."

"The investigators we encountered..."

"Mr. Fueguchi... Ryoko-nee, you've been exposed..."

Amidst the cacophony of voices, everyone in the café—including the manager Yoshimura Kōzen, Kirishima Tōka, Kaneki Ken, Yomo Renji, Furuma Enji, and Irimi Kō—was stunned by the information that Fueguchi Ryōko was releasing.

After everyone had digested the information, Ryoko Fueguchi continued, "Manager Kozen, the investigators already know about us. I want to take Hinami away as soon as possible."

"Leave? Where can you go? To District 24?"

Dong Xiang objected vehemently: "What are you talking about? How could the two of you survive in that kind of cesspool?"

“Touka…” the shopkeeper’s gentle, warm voice rang out, “The situation might not be as bad as it seems. Ryoko, how much information do you think they have about you and Hinami? Do they have photos of your faces?”

After thinking for a moment, Ryoko Fueguchi said definitively, "No, if our family got our information, we never kept any photos or anything like that, and the investigator didn't recognize me in person either."

"You should be safe then, so why don't you stay in the shop for now? Don't worry about your safety, the important thing is..."

Store manager Gongshan stood up sternly. "Now, could you please let us see what this so-called food is all about?"

Ryoko Fueguchi nodded and opened the insulated bag containing the stinky tofu.

In an instant, that familiar stench quickly filled the coffee shop.

The group of people, who had initially been somewhat hopeful, suddenly frowned as they were struck by the overwhelming force sweeping around them.

I instinctively covered my mouth and nose.

Why does it smell so bad?

Is this thing really edible?

I'm afraid even humans would find it hard to swallow.

"It stinks! Is this stinky tofu?"

"It really stinks. Are you sure Fueguchi wasn't used by humans to insult us?"

Before Ryoko Fueguchi could explain, En'er Koma interjected, "No, it's not just a simple stench; it has an alluring fragrance within the stench. Although the smell is awful, it's kind of intoxicating if you smell it for a while."

Yoshimura nodded excitedly: "That's right, everyone close your eyes and feel it. Can't you feel your rc cells trembling? There's no mistake, this is the food we can eat."

Koma En'er reached out and picked up a pair of chopsticks: "If you don't like them, then let me try them."

#@#

The stinky tofu was placed on the bar counter, and everyone stared at it intently. The invisible pressure made Koma En'er feel nervous.

He forced a smile.

"How about forget it."

Before the words were finished, Sifang Lianshi made his move first.

His right hand accurately picked up a piece of stinky tofu.

He popped it into his mouth while everyone stared in disbelief.

Before she could even chew the stinky tofu a few times, Shifang Lianshi's expression immediately changed.

It was fragrant, crispy, and spicy. It was truly fragrant, and it was truly spicy. I wasn't prepared at all, and my face turned red from the spiciness.

Even the ghoul's eye activated immediately.

"Hiss~

"Look, everyone is crying. If you can't eat, just spit it out."

"Water, water, water! If you can't eat this stuff, don't even try it. It smells so bad, you know it won't taste good!"

Sifang Lianshi remained silent, continued chewing haphazardly for a few more moments, and then, to the astonishment of the others, swallowed the stinky tofu.

quiet,

This unnecessary movement left everyone stunned.

"Whoo~"

"Delicious! This stinky tofu tastes absolutely amazing."

"Don't just watch, everyone try it! This food is really edible, and I haven't experienced any discomfort," said Shifang Renji excitedly, licking the garlic off her lips.

In a coffee shop.

The space froze for three seconds. The next moment, everyone reacted quickly, wielding chopsticks with great speed, and a few small hands joined in, as they scrambled for the stinky tofu.

Ten servings of stinky tofu cost over forty yuan, and even Kaneki Ken, who was the weakest among them, managed to snag a few pieces.

The sounds of chewing rose and fell, but everyone fell silent after taking a bite.

“It’s delicious!”

Ryoko Fueguchi gave the stinky tofu she had snatched to her daughter, Hinami. Seeing her daughter's happy face, the sadness in her heart was greatly reduced.
