Satisfied
A gentle breeze started to appear around Mana. Initially, it was quiet and light, just moving the strands of hair on her forehead. But as time passed, the breeze grew stronger, turning into raging winds!
The loud howling sound was quite shocking, like an angry lion roaring continuously. Each gust of wind mercilessly collided with everything around Mana, even making the windows rattle continuously.
The whole tavern turned into a scene of swirling dust and smoke in an instant. Luckily, the strong wind came and went quickly.
After everything settled, Annie next to her was so shocked by the strange phenomenon that her eyes nearly popped out.

Just as the leader's clothes started to rip,
When Mana tasted delicious food, she would forcefully unleash a skill:
Teaching the Pulse!
This so-called Teaching the Pulse seemed to release her own spiritual power into the air, creating a powerful shockwave. Even people unrelated to her would be influenced by this mysterious force.
In other words, to judge whether a chef's dish was delicious, individuals with the Nakiri bloodline like Mana, Erina, Senzaemon, etc., had the qualifications to evaluate and judge.
Especially this Mana in front of them.
If she could manifest this Teaching the Pulse phenomenon, it indicated that the chef's dish belonged to an unparalleled level in today's culinary world.
This was precisely why the WGO Gourmet Organization, led by her, became the most authoritative evaluating institution in the culinary world!
But, conquering Mana was no easy task.
Over the years, countless chefs had worked tirelessly, creating numerous exquisite and unique dishes. However, in the face of the mighty God's Tongue, these chefs and their dishes all ended in "failure."
Even though Anne believed that Zane's cooking could satisfy Mana, she was completely taken aback by the fact that just by tasting a portion of fried rice and only after a few bites, Mana was satisfied!
This meant that Zane's cooking had successfully won Mana over and had conquered the God's Tongue.

"Delicious."
"It's really delicious!"
"This fried rice dish, made with ordinary ingredients."
"But it possesses a strange and mysterious power that keeps challenging my God's Tongue, making me... making me... ah... I can't resist it anymore, I need to eat more, more!"
After swallowing, Mana, who activated the Teaching the Pulse, couldn't hide her excitement and joy, tears of happiness slowly streaming down her face.
Her eyes were fixed on the plate of fried rice, and after savoring the taste, hearts seemed to vaguely appear in her pupils.
Obviously, the appearance of these heart-shaped pupils indicated her complete surrender.
She continued to grab the spoon, crazily spooning up mouthfuls, greedily devouring them one after another.
Anne was stunned by this rough and wild way of eating. If all the other WGO executives had seen this, they would have been equally shocked.
Who would have thought that someone who was always so discerning about food would end up devouring a plate of fried rice like a starving dog!

Delicious!
This was an extremely mystical term.
For thousands of years, humanity has struggled to establish a standard and definition for it. After all, for every thousand people, there were a thousand different opinions on what was truly delicious. Therefore, "delicious" was a highly personal and subjective perception.
In reality, when asked about the most unforgettable dish, as a food enthusiast, Rindo might say: it could be grilled meat skewers, smoked beef, layered pancakes, or giant octopus meatballs...
But in Mana's memory, the most unforgettable dish was a side dish she used to eat at kindergarten every Wednesday, which she loved at the time.
However, unfortunately, with the appearance of the God's Tongue curse, she could no longer experience that feeling of joy from childhood when she loved eating dishes!
Yes!
How many years has it been?
She had been suffering from the torment of the God's Tongue, mentally and physically on the brink of collapse. The feeling of instantly feeling nauseous and vomiting upon touching food with her mouth had plagued her entire life.
Her wish, perhaps, was not too complicated compared to others. She just wanted to enjoy a meal happily like a normal person, that alone would make her feel content in her final moments!
But this world was just too cruel.
Now, she had to rely on daily injections of nutrients just to barely keep her body functioning.
Her personal fate would ultimately be filled with anorexia, anxiety, depression, and continue to despise all food, leading to a slow death in hunger, despair, unwillingness, and pain.

This plate of Comet Fried Rice.
Seemed like a bright light, giving her a new hope in her dark life.
Telling her that the path ahead was still flat, as long as she boldly walked through it.
The combination of spinach, bok choy, and rice, the unprecedented taste, the never-before-experienced flavor sensation, truly felt like sunshine in spring, making her feel particularly warm!
It may have been an illusion, but it might also have been a real occurrence.
Her physical condition rapidly improved after tasting this Comet Fried Rice.
The lively state of mind at least made her appear ten years younger, transforming from a frail woman to a very energetic girl!
Finally, when Mana came back to her senses.
She found the whole plate of Comet Fried Rice completely cleaned out.
Even the leftover rice stuck to the plate was directly picked up by her, and she licked it eagerly with her tongue.
...
"Burp~"
"This is so comfortable!"
"Thinking about it, it seems like I haven't had such delicious food in a long time!"
Wiping her mouth, then gently touching her slightly bulging belly.
She couldn't help but close her eyes again, wanting to linger on the lingering flavor of the comet fried rice, and even more so, wanting to etch this feeling of fullness that she now had into her mind.
