As the smoke dispersed, the Raiden Shogun's figure was revealed once more.
As a god, such a small explosion couldn't possibly harm her.
Moreover, she had protected her self-made dango milk and the portable kitchen.
Thus, a very peculiar scene appeared.
Thanks to Shura Anyakonsen-shou's protection, the damage from the explosion in the entire Tenshukaku was practically negligible. On the contrary, the airflow generated by the blast actually made the Tenshukaku much cleaner.
And since the Shogun had protected the portable kitchen and the dish in her hands,
the Tenshukaku, despite having just experienced an explosion, paradoxically became cleaner—some spots were even shining with tidiness.
If it weren't for the purple, bubbling drink in the Shogun's hand that was truly stomach-turning, the old uncle would almost have thought the Shogun had created some immortal delicacy.
"Although the process was a bit bumpy, I believe this batch of dango milk was a success."
The Shogun said expressionlessly.
"No, Your Excellency the Shogun, this is not dango milk. This is a special dish you created. I shall call it 'Verdict Cuisine'."
Looking at this food that only existed in memes, Mr. Cid was greatly shocked as well.
Although he hadn't tasted it yet, he could be certain: whoever ate it would ascend to the Western Paradise.
"This name suits me well. Would you like to try it?"
The Shogun nodded in acknowledgment.
But the old uncle had already preemptively restrained little Sara, who was eagerly preparing to taste the Shogun's "Verdict Cuisine."
"Miss Mizuki, help me hold this child back."
Miss Mizuki also grabbed the fanatic Shogun-chef little Sara and didn't dare let go.
After all, Miss Mizuki had personally witnessed how it was made—and looking at the finished product, those ingredients were truly screaming in agony…
"Then, Your Excellency the Shogun, please take a sip first to check the saltiness. A cook should always know what their dish tastes like, right?"
"A reasonable point…"
The Shogun didn't waste words either. She picked up the spoon and took a sip of her own "Verdict Cuisine"…
It was a very complex flavor…
The dominant taste was extremely salty, yet there was also some sourness, then greasiness… and finally, one could even sense a hint of sweet-bitter aftertaste…
To the Shogun, it felt like…
The Shogun couldn't describe it, but she knew that the Eternity she pursued could not withstand this taste…
Want to vomit… No, what's the point of vomiting? It's just food…
The Shogun forced down her body's instinctive urge to retch and swallowed the purple thick soup.
"It tastes very bad."
The Shogun's expression remained normal on the surface.
"Indeed. It's normal for a human's first attempt at a somewhat complex dish to taste terrible."
Mr. Cid looked curiously at the Raiden Shogun.
So impressive—she actually just drank it straight down like that?
Wait, is the Shogun's throat still moving…?
Mr. Cid pulled a wooden bucket out from his Vision and handed it to the Shogun.
"Governing a country is just like cooking. If it's done well, it's good; if not, it's bad. If it's unpalatable, you still have to spit it out…"
Before Mr. Cid could finish speaking, the Shogun had already lifted the bucket and begun vomiting Electro energy into it…
At this moment, the Shogun's full attention was on the bucket…
So uncomfortable…
That sweet-bitter, thick, greasy mouthfeel…
Forcibly suppressing it only made it feel like the taste was trying to crawl back out…
Can't hold it back anymore…
So disgusting…
Watching the Shogun unable to hold it in and start vomiting, Shura Anyakonsen-shou had no other options. He could only pat the Shogun's back to help her vomit more comfortably…
At the same time, he shot a glance at little Sara to fetch a cup of water so the Shogun could rinse her mouth after finishing…
