Zongman: Shang Erina, the opening method of swallowing the starry sky - Chapter 150
The tongue of God?
Blossom and bear fruit?
Upon hearing this, Hong Yi’s handsome sword-like eyebrows could not help but wrinkle slightly.
Hong Yi had heard of the term”blossom and bear fruit” in”The Prisoner of Gourmet Food”.
At the Gourmet Festival,
Staju and Alu fought a life-and-death battle for Komatsu.
Later,
Staju successfully defeated Alu and kidnapped Komatsu. When he met Qiao Ya, Qiao Ya saw Staju’s brow cracked and opened his third eye – the Gourmet Clairvoyance, and said,”Your Gourmet Cells Blossomed and Bear Fruit”.
Literally, it probably refers to the further activation of the Gourmet Cells, which have reached a certain high level.
It is no longer a simple Gourmet Cell floating on the face, but a Gourmet Demon that resides in the Gourmet Cells, which can have part of its body or power, and run out directly to lend to the”Carrier” for use.
But what does the blossoming and bearing of the tongue of God mean?
Nakiri Senzaemon was not surprised to see Hong Yi’s puzzled face.
After all… this is the biggest secret of the Nakiri family!
Nakiri Senzaemon sat back in his chair, took out a napkin from his desk, and prepared to wipe off the tea stains while answering.
“Before answering your question, can you… thaw my frozen right hand?”
Nakiri Senzaemon glanced at his right hand covered with ice and said helplessly.
As soon as Hong Yi thought about it, the ice melted into water.
“You are really my nemesis.”
Nakiri Senzaemon complained, wiped off the water stains, and began to answer:”You have all heard of the Nakiri family’s famous talent – the Divine Tongue, but… do you know the origin of the Divine Tongue?”
Hong Yi shook his head.
He couldn’t remember it clearly, but in”Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma”, it seemed that the origin of the Nakiri family’s Divine Tongue was not explained.
It was only said to be a kind of supernatural power.
Now it seems that the Divine Tongue in the world of Gourmet Anime has become different.
Nakiri Senzaemon sighed lightly and continued:”The success of the Nakiri family is thanks to the Divine Tongue, but the curse of the Nakiri family also comes from the Divine Tongue.”
“Like the G7 in WGO, seven taste masters come from all over the world, not from the same family.”
“And our Nakiri family, my daughter, my granddaughter, all have taste sensitivity comparable to or even exceeding that of G7, and this is no coincidence, because the outside world calls it the tongue of God”
“In fact, the Tongue of God is not groundless, nor is it a coincidence.”
“All because of the fish dishes in the full menu of the food god Acacia】——【ANOTHER】!”
“【ANOTHER!?”
Hong Yi was shocked.
He didn’t expect that the secret of the Nakiri family was actually related to the Acacia full menu.
Nakiri Senzaemon continued:”Didn’t I mention an ancestor to you before at the Totsuki Resort?”
“That ancestor was an extremely powerful gourmet hunter. He was able to step into the world of gourmet food and fight against terrifying beasts with a capture level of thousands.”
“The golden can was found by him on the eighth continent, and the fossil of the dragon king’s tooth was found by him on the first continent.”
“The ancestors not only have strength, but also good fortune.”
“So, the ancestors had an ambition……”
Hong Yi’s heart was slightly shaken, and he said,”Have you set your sights on Acacia’s full menu?”
“That’s right.”
Nakiri Senzaemon nodded.
“This ancestor of the Nakiri family had a strong food luck. When he traveled to the sixth continent, he was【ANOTHER】Favor”
“He successfully captured the legendary fish treasure, and then went to the Blue Restaurant in the Ocean Continent to find a legendary chef to help cook the fish treasure and make fish dishes.”
“Although the legendary chef told the ancestor that this fish treasure might be just a fry, it was also quite delicious, successfully awakening the ancestor’s gourmet devil tongue and opening up a new taste.”
Hong Yi suddenly realized and immediately said:”Is this the origin of your Nakiri family’s divine tongue?!”
“That’s right.”
Nakiri Senzaemon’s expression became more serious.
“The ancestors with new tastes are increasingly unable to satisfy the ingredients and delicacies of the human world.”
“He frequently visited the food industry to find out more about Acacia’s full menu.”
“After learning about Acacia’s [Meat Cuisine] and the [Appetite Forest] growing on the head and back of the Deer King Sky Deer, he went to the fifth continent and challenged the Deer King Sky Deer.”
“The result is predictable………”
“The ancestors launched self-eating and fought desperately”
“Unfortunately, after awakening the tongue of the gourmet devil, you cannot start eating yourself. This is a taboo.”
“Because the gourmet devil with a tongue will really eat the host clean and revive in another way!”
When Hong Yi heard this, his pupils suddenly contracted.
“You mean… the gourmet demon of the Nakiri family’s ancestor has completely escaped?”
“That’s right”
“Not only did it escape, it also targeted the members of our Nakiri family who possessed the Divine Tongue.”
“As long as the tongue of God blooms and bears fruit, it will sneak from the food world to the human world and eat that tribe member.”
Nakiri Senzaemon said with a grim expression
“Such an important thing… why did you tell me only now! ?” (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Hong Yi frowned and clenched his fists.
Nakiri Senzaemon replied with a sad face:”I didn’t expect that Erina’s divine tongue would bear fruit so quickly.”
“After all, in the long history of the Nakiri family for hundreds of years, there were quite a few members who possessed the Divine Tongue, at least eighty if not a hundred, but only three of them truly achieved the level of success.”
“If the tongue of God does not bear fruit, the gourmet demon who devoured our ancestors will not care.”
Nakiri Senzaemon seemed to be neither crying nor laughing, and it was unclear whether he was happy or helpless.
“I really didn’t expect that after my granddaughter became your partner, she ate so many high-quality ingredients and delicious dishes, and the Divine Tongue blossomed so quickly.”The Divine
Tongue has three levels.
The first level, like the taste master of G7, has a perception and sensitivity of ingredients and tastes far beyond that of mortals, reaching the incomprehensible”Divine Realm”.
The second level becomes extremely picky about taste. After slowly tasting all the delicacies in the world, the food that can satisfy the taste buds will become increasingly scarce. Therefore, after reaching a certain age, they will naturally lose interest in food and cuisine, and then become desperate, and finally start to starve to death in pain.
In the original work, the eldest lady Erina Nakiri’s The biological mother, Nakiri Masagi, is a case of a terminally ill woman.
Like Nakiri Erina, Nakiri Masagi also possesses the”God’s Tongue”.
When Erina was still young, she began to go on a hunger strike, and later she would not even go near the dining table or the kitchen. Finally, the pain brought to her by the”God’s Tongue” became unbearable, so she left the Nakiri family to seek treatment. Now she has only survived by injecting nutrient solution.
In the fusion of the anime worlds of”Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma” and”Gourmet Prisoner”, the”curse” of the second layer of the God’s Tongue has become insignificant.
《Captives of Food》There are countless delicious foods with ingredients as numerous as stars and as vast as the sea of smoke.[]
Naturally, it can satisfy the picky taste buds of”God’s Tongue”.
Especially after Nakiri Managi became a special food critic of WGO, the dishes she ate were basically made by high-star chefs, and the deliciousness was by no means comparable to the students of Totsuki Academy.
Therefore, Nakiri Managi did not suffer from anorexia in the original”Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma”.
Instead, as a food critic, she was active in the era of food and tasted all the food in the world.
But.
The third level is the flowering and fruiting of God’s Tongue.
The supernatural power will reach a whole new height.
At the same time, it will also exude a”mature” breath, attracting the terrible food demon to come and harvest and eat!
Nakiri Managi did not eat the flowering and fruiting of God’s Tongue.
It can only be said that Erina Nakiri ate too many high-quality ingredients and delicious dishes in a short period of time.
Gem meat, puffer whale, seasonal vegetables from the sky vegetable garden, golden ozone grass that is more delicious than ozone grass, lava soup, century soup, soap bubble fruit… even a ten-star gourmet restaurant can’t come up with so many super high-end ingredients.
Nakiri Senzaemon couldn’t imagine that his granddaughter ate so many good things.
He planned to find an opportunity to tell Hong Yi about it after a while, but Erina Nakiri’s divine tongue suddenly bore fruit.
Hong Yi did not continue to blame Nakiri Senzaemon. He sat on the sofa with a frown on his face, his brain working rapidly.
“The strength of the food demons varies, but most of them are quite powerful.”
“For example, after the red ghost who ate the full menu of Acacia was fully resurrected, his capture level might have reached tens of thousands. I am simply not capable of fighting him now.”
“Fortunately, the gourmet devil of Nakiri’s ancestors did not awaken the whole body, but ate the host clean by eating itself, and resurrected in another way.”
“This incomplete resurrection is probably only one tenth of its full power.”
“Also, no other ingredients from Acacia’s full menu were captured later.”
“So… it is afraid of the Eighth King, and its strength should be lower than that of the Eighth King.”
“There is still hope!”
Hong Yi’s eyes flashed with a gleam of light.
