Kuga Teruki always thought that spicy food was supreme and could offset all other flavors, but Lin Yu's dish taught him a good lesson.
Of course, the person who was most shocked was not Kuga Teruki, but Nakiri Erina.
Because she has the divine tongue, she can naturally taste the flaws in this dish. These flaws exist for the purpose of performing magic.
In fact, there was no need for magic this time. Lin Yu could eliminate this flaw, but he still chose to keep it.
After all, this little flaw is the finishing touch of this dish.
"How is this possible? The Divine Tongue clearly detected a flaw, yet it didn't seem disgusted. Instead, it accepted it!"
Erina Nakiri's pupils kept shaking. This dish shattered her understanding of the Tongue of God.
Logically speaking, the Divine Tongue will magnify the flaws in the food, allowing people to feel them clearly. This feeling is like suddenly eating a defective melon seed while cracking it. That feeling is very uncomfortable.
It is also because of this that Erina Nakiri has zero tolerance for flawed food.
However, the flaw was indeed tasted this time, but the effect of the flaw was positive, which resulted in Erina Nakiri's divine tongue not being disgusted by such a flaw.
Obviously, this special ability belongs to her, but Lin Yu used a dish to tell Erina Nakiri that she actually doesn't know much about her special ability.
"Is there such a thing?"
Several of the other Ten Elites, including Alice Nakiri and Hisako Arato, widened their eyes.
Although everyone has a certain understanding of the Tongue of God, they undoubtedly know more.
Because the tongue of God magnifies flaws, Erina Nakiri always says something unpleasant about problematic food.
This time, although the taste clearly showed that there was something wrong, the Divine Tongue did not react, which surprised everyone.
Among them, Alice Nakiri and Hisako Arato were surprised and then happy, because this meant that a breakthrough in the Tongue of God had appeared.
They both knew exactly what the final outcome of the Tongue of God would be.
Alice Nakiri knew the reason why Managi Nakiri left, and also knew the final outcome of the Tongue of God. She didn't want to see her cousin become like that.
As for Hisako Arato, she has been with Erina Nakiri for so many years, and she is the person Erina Nakiri trusts the most. There are some things that Erina Nakiri would not tell Nakiri Senzaemon, but she would tell her.
It can be said that Erina Nakiri is very dependent on Hisako Arato, and in the original work she will only show her true side in front of Hisako Arato alone.
After a long time, Xinhu Hisako naturally knew about these things.
"The Divine Tongue ability can amplify the flavors of food, but it amplifies the unpalatable taste, not the flaws."
"The reason your Divine Tongue can identify these issues is because of the knowledge you possess. You use that knowledge to make your judgments."
"In other words, regardless of whether it's a flaw or not, as long as the final result is positive, the Tongue of God won't react. The reason you think there's a flaw is your own judgment, not the Tongue of God's."
Lin Yu said that the God's Tongue is powerful because its holder is powerful. If the holder has no knowledge, then even if the God's Tongue tastes something unpalatable, the holder will not know what is going on.
In the original work, when Erina Nakiri took refuge in Polar Star Dormitory, she tasted everyone's food and provided solutions.
But others gave completely different solutions, which was the knowledge that Erina Nakiri did not have.
She simply makes the best choice based on the knowledge she has.
Lin Yu's evaluation of the Tongue of God also made everyone fall into deep thought. After thinking about it carefully, they found that what Lin Yu said was indeed correct.
Before, they thought that the Tongue of God was very powerful, as if the Tongue of God was naturally so powerful.
It now seems that the Tongue of God is indeed a powerful supernatural power, but the key is the holder of this supernatural power, Erina Nakiri.
It is because of Erina Nakiri's strength that the Divine Tongue can fully exert its effect.
"That's true, but not everyone can turn flaws into positive effects like you, Yu."
Isshiki Hui shook his head. This operation was too difficult, at least he couldn't do it himself.
Chapter 45: The Anxious Nakiri Sisters
Isshiki Hui's words echoed the sentiments of the crowd. Indeed, although Lin Yu's words were simple, if one thinks carefully, such a thing is almost impossible to do.
The reason why defects are called defects is because they are uncontrollable and the effects they cause are negative.
It can only be said that Lin Yu's operation was really incredible. Not to mention the students present, even if Seiichiro and Nakiri Managi were called in, it would be difficult for these top chefs to do such a thing.
"That's true. It's really hard to turn the impact of flaws into a positive one."
Lin Yu also admitted that if he didn't have a lot of abilities and Shi Yi, he really wouldn't be able to do this.
"But Yu, you can guarantee that you can do it every time. So, can't the shortcomings of the Tongue of God be easily solved in front of you?"
Alice Nakiri's eyes lit up. It seemed that Lin Yu really had the ability to solve the shortcomings of the Tongue of God.
"The downsides of the God's Tongue? Does the God's Tongue have downsides?"
Before Lin Yu could speak, everyone else in Polar Star Dormitory was stunned. They never expected that such a powerful ability as the Divine Tongue would have drawbacks. And according to Alice Nakiri, it seemed that no one had been able to solve the drawbacks of the Divine Tongue before.
"Of course, but none of that matters right now."
Alice Nakiri nodded, then looked at Lin Yu. Not only her, but Erina Nakiri also looked at Lin Yu anxiously. If Lin Yu could really solve the drawbacks of the Tongue of God, then her mother would come back.
You know, the reason her family was broken up was because of the Tongue of God.
Nakiri Managi finally chose to leave because she couldn't stand the torture brought by the Tongue of God. As the special executive of WGO, she didn't just give up, but constantly used her own methods to solve the shortcomings of the Tongue of God.
In the original work, THE BLUE originally did not allow late-night cooks to participate, but Nakiri Managi had been tortured by the Divine Tongue and had no choice but to start with the late-night cooks.
Something went wrong with Nakiri Managi, causing Nakiri, who was already like a powder keg, to be instantly ignited, and then the explosion affected a group of people around her.
It can be said that the fuse of all this is Nakiri Managi and the Tongue of God. As long as the drawbacks of the Tongue of God are solved, Nakiri Managi will be able to come back and the family will be restored. This is what Erina Nakiri most desires.
Before the problem with Nakiri Managi's Divine Tongue occurred, she lived a happy life, but everything changed when the Divine Tongue went out of control.
Moreover, she herself has the Divine Tongue. Although the development progress of the Divine Tongue has been suppressed, according to the current situation, her final fate will be the same as that of Nakiri Managi, just a few years later.
"The shortcomings of the Divine Tongue aren't so easily resolved. Just because I was able to make Nakiri-san's Divine Tongue taste the flaws without reacting, doesn't mean this trick will work on him."
"You are from the Nakiri family, so you should know better than me that the ability of the Divine Tongue needs to be continuously developed."
"And even if I can solve this problem, it will only be temporary. You can only eat the food I cook. The question is, do I have to be your exclusive chef forever?"
Lin Yu shook his head. The effects of the Divine Tongue will be completely different depending on the degree of development.
He was able to handle Erina Nakiri's Divine Tongue because it was not developed enough, so it was effective. If it was Managi Nakiri's, Lin Yu could guarantee that she would spit it out after taking a bite of this dish.
Of course, this is only temporary. Lin Yu's current cooking skills are only third-rate. When he becomes first-rate or even special-rate, Nakiri Managi's divine tongue will naturally be useless.
And the problem he mentioned is also the key. He does not intend to solve the shortcomings of the Tongue of God by surpassing the limits of the Tongue of God.
After all, in this way, the dishes that the Tongue of God can taste are limited to those made by him. This method can only solve the immediate problem, but it cannot solve the problem fundamentally.
Hearing this, Erina Nakiri was immediately discouraged. The questions Lin Yu raised were all crucial. If you think about it carefully, you will know that this is impossible.
Lin Yu's future was destined to become a special chef, perhaps even the strongest special chef. He might even be able to open up a new level. For such a person to be their exclusive chef? Wasn't this just a dream?
Even if Alice Nakiri could get together with Lin Yu, she would only help him from time to time because of their relationship. It would be impossible for her to bother Lin Yu all the time.
If they want Lin Yu to cook for them all the time, there is only one way. Nakiri Erina and Lin Yu get married, and Lin Yu becomes one of their own. It will naturally not be a problem for him to help his wife and mother-in-law.
"I will find other ways to deal with the shortcomings of the Tongue of God, but it is definitely not possible at the moment."
Lin Yu shook his head. He would definitely find a way in the future, but it was no use now.
"Sorry, we thought it was too simple!"
Erina Nakiri also apologized. Although she was indeed arrogant, this kind of arrogance was not directed at Lin Yu.
So now she has apologized.
"No need to apologize. I understand how you feel. After all, the drawbacks of the Divine Tongue are indeed a big problem."
Lin Yu said that the disadvantages of the Tongue of God can be said to be quite disgusting, just like anorexia, it is not only mentally unable to eat, but also physically.
Even if something tastes bad, a normal person can still eat it as long as they want to.
But it is different for those who possess the divine tongue. Even if they force themselves to eat something, they will spit it out.
This is also the reason why the ancestors of the Nakiri family who possessed the divine tongue starved to death.
If it were really that simple, just knock the person unconscious, then turn the food into liquid form and stuff it in. The person will be unconscious and naturally won't feel anything. If nothing else, at least they can survive.
However, the disadvantage of the Divine Tongue is that if you eat it, you will vomit it out physiologically, even if you faint. This is the biggest headache for the Nakiri family.
Nakiri Managi was lucky enough to be born in this era with nutrient solution to keep her alive. If she had been born in ancient times, she would have been dead.
After the few people finished their discussion, everyone asked again about the disadvantages of the Tongue of God.
Alice Nakiri did not hide this. The drawbacks of the Tongue of God were no secret, but no one publicized it. So ordinary people only knew that the Tongue of God was powerful, but they did not know that it had drawbacks.
Now, Nakiri Alice told everyone about the disadvantages of the God's Tongue, but she did not elaborate on the Nakiri family's affairs. After all, this was already a family scandal, and she knew that family disgrace should not be made public.
Chapter 46: People Learn about the Disadvantages of the Tongue of God
"I didn't expect the Divine Tongue to have such a big drawback. Once it gets out of control, you can only rely on nutrient solution to survive. Little Nakiri, you are really pitiful!"
After hearing this, Yoshino Yuuki burst into tears and even called out to Erina Nakiri. Under normal circumstances, Yoshino Yuuki would not do this, but now it is obvious that she is affected by her emotions. She really feels sorry for Erina Nakiri.
"Little... little Nakiri? Are you talking about me?"
At this time, Erina Nakiri was completely confused. She never expected that this girl who seemed to have a very cheerful personality would suddenly call her like this. She was a little at a loss for a moment.
After all, everyone she had communicated with before was respectful and cautious to her, which was nothing like the current Yoshino Yuuki. This was something she had never felt with Hisako Nijima.
However, she did not find this feeling offensive, but rather felt somewhat familiar. After all, those people who boasted to her in various ways were all trying to make friends with the Nakiri family and earn profits.
Erina Nakiri also hopes to have more friends, but after seeing too many of these people's faces, she finally chose to give up, and her only good friend is Hisako Arato.
Having been dealing with these people for many years, she could naturally see that Yoshino Yuki really cared about her and was not just trying to build relationships with her.
"Sorry, sorry, that's just how Yuuki is."
Sakaki Ryoko said this with a bit of amusement, but her tone was also very casual, not like someone who would apologize with a horrified face after angering Erina Nakiri.
Everyone was discussing the issue of the Divine Tongue at this time, and they all felt that Erina Nakiri was quite pitiful. Of course, they were not pitying Erina Nakiri, but more of a heartache.
Putting aside other things, the people in Polar Star Dormitory are truly kind, which is why they feel a little sorry for Erina Nakiri. After all, if you put yourself in someone's shoes and know that their future will be miserable, you'll know how difficult it is.
Erina Nakiri is a member of the Nakiri family, so it is impossible for her to show her emotions. She also needs to deal with those guys on a regular basis. Her life is already difficult, and she can't live the life she wants. Naturally, they will feel distressed.
In fact, Erina Nakiri's communication with outsiders was not forced by Nakiri Senzaemon, but she chose to do so herself. The reason was very simple: she was a member of the Nakiri family.
Moreover, there are only her and Nakiri Alice in this generation of the Nakiri family. She has also awakened the Divine Tongue, and the burden is destined to fall on her shoulders, so Nakiri Erina also forces herself to do these things.
After all, this is something that will happen sooner or later. Instead of waiting until you become an adult and getting flustered, it is better to do it from the beginning. At least you have adapted to it now.
"It's okay, no need to apologize."
Erina Nakiri smiled slightly. She really wanted to integrate with the people here, but her living habits over the years did not allow her to do so.
So now she is suppressing this impulse, and she is quite envious of Alice Nakiri who is getting along well with everyone.
Looking at this scene, Lin Yu shook his head. Erina Nakiri's life was too tiring. She had been disguising herself all the time.
Having read the original novel, he naturally knew what kind of person Erina Nakiri was, but being in such a family, there were some things that he definitely could not choose.
She was relatively lucky to be born in the Nakiri family. If she were born in any other family where everything is profit-oriented, she would be used as a tool.
Lin Yu didn't even think about persuading Erina Nakiri to take off the mask. From his point of view, this would be good for Erina Nakiri, allowing her to put down the mask and live the life she wanted.
But if you think about it carefully, this is not a good thing for Erina Nakiri. Unless she is willing to give up everything in the Nakiri family, if she takes off the mask and shows her true nature, she will end up being eaten to the bone.
During the meal, everyone took good care of Erina Nakiri. After all, in everyone's eyes, Erina Nakiri had become someone who needed to be taken care of.
In fact, their idea is indeed correct. Although Erina Nakiri is very good at communicating and socializing with people, she is almost blank in common sense.
In fact, this is also because Hisako Arato takes such good care of Erina Nakiri.
Except for the things that must be done by Erina Nakiri, Hisako Arato will take on all other matters herself.
To be honest, the reason why Hisako Arato's cooking skills can reach such a high level is purely due to her own talent and the help of Erina Nakiri's divine tongue.
Otherwise, judging from the content of Niito Hisako's job, it would be a complete pipe dream to reach this level of cooking skills.
She spends much more time on daily chores than on cooking.
At this time, Hisako Arato was also very happy. She could also feel that everyone's kindness to Erina Nakiri was sincere.
She also hopes that her eldest daughter can have some good friends and someone to talk to.
Although this is just the beginning, given the eldest daughter's personality, it will take a long time for everyone to become her friends, but as long as a good start is made, it is good news.
Soon, everyone ate up all of Lin Yu's food. In fact, Lin Yu could easily make enough food to fill everyone up, but there were other people's food here after all.
