The Nuclear Sword Fairy from a certain cartoon

As a game released in August this year, "King of Fighters 94" is naturally very popular.

"Then let's play with this."

Shirou started up the PS1 and handed the controller to Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh sat on the sofa and looked at the handle curiously.

"Let's try it~"

Shirou told Gilgamesh the basic operations and then started the game directly.

As a Heroic Spirit, it is naturally quite simple for Gilgamesh to learn this. Even if he just gets started, he is already at the level of an ordinary person after practicing for a long time.

The main reason is that the reaction ability is simply not comparable to ordinary people.

If Shirou was a week ago, he might have been beaten to death.

It's a pity that Shirou now also possesses the power of a heroic spirit and has a lot of experience in this aspect of the game, so he can easily defeat the character Gilgamesh chose.

"Damn it, look at this king's move!"

Gilgamesh gritted his teeth and grabbed the handle.

Behind the sofa, Kotomine Kirei and Karna stood quietly watching the game screen on the monitor, both watching with serious faces.

If someone who didn't know this looked at it, they would probably think they were watching a professional player PK.

Half an hour passed like this, and it was almost five o'clock.

As the character in the game howled again and fell to the ground, Gilgamesh's usual arrogance could no longer be maintained, and the corners of his mouth could not stop twitching.

"This king... would actually lose to a child!"

The majestic King of Heroes, and also a heroic spirit, actually lost to a child of no more than 6 or 7 years old in this kind of civilian entertainment. This kind of thing really made him feel

Some shame.

Shirou saw that it was already a little late and there were still things to deal with, so he planned to stand up.

"It's almost time, I still have something to do..."

"Don't go!"

Gilgamesh took out another treasure and slapped it on the table with a bang.

"I order you to have another round! If I don't defeat you today, you will never be allowed to leave!"

"Are you threatening my Master?"

Karna's expression suddenly became fierce, and he was even ready to fight.

Shirou suddenly felt ashamed and quickly comforted him.

"Just playing a game, not that far yet, Lancer."

Then, Shirou had another round with the King of Heroes, and this time he deliberately let off some steam.

Although he won in the end, Gilgamesh frowned. He was obviously dissatisfied with this way of winning.

Seeing that Gilgamesh's expression was really not good-looking, Shirou quickly put down the controller and then suggested.

"It's a bit late. I know a Chinese restaurant. You must have never tried it before. Why don't you try it?"

In the ancient era where Gilgamesh lived, there were not so many delicacies as in the present world.

What’s more, Chinese cuisine has an extremely wide variety of dishes.

"Hmm... well."

Gilgamesh was indeed a little unhappy, but after all, he would not get angry over such a trivial matter.

He also became somewhat interested in the cuisine from China that Shirou mentioned.

In this way, the four of them went to a Chinese restaurant together.

There is only this Chinese restaurant in this commercial street.

Hongzhou Banquet Hall. Mount Tai.

The glass windows are tightly closed in broad daylight, and it is completely unclear where the customers come in and out. It is a magical cave in the shopping street that makes people want to flee home in fright just by looking at it.

The store manager here is an old man who is nearly fifty years old, but even at this age, his back is still straight and his energy is better than that of some young people.

According to what the other party said, he was from Sichuan and Chongqing. Shirou chatted with him quite cordially, which made the store manager surprised that Shirou could speak Chinese so smoothly.

The store manager also enthusiastically planned to show off his specialty. All the food ingredients in the pot he waved were coated with chili pepper.

This also means that the food will be very spicy.

Quite spicy.

It's like pricking your tongue a thousand times with a toothpick and then sprinkling salt on it. It's so spicy.

"Then, let's try this first."

After sitting down one after another, Gilgamesh and Kotomine Kirei couldn't help but look surprised at the food served by the store manager.

I saw that in the pure white porcelain plate placed on the long mahogany table, the red spicy oil was rolling like lava.

That overbearing spicy smell, mixed with a special compound aroma, made Kotomine Kirei feel like his saliva was secreting uncontrollably.

Is this really... food that belongs to the human world?

"This is……!"

"How beautiful...!"

Kotomine Kirei seemed to have seen the most beautiful thing in history and couldn't help but praise it.

Gollum—!

Gollum—!

A clear sound of swallowing came from Kotomine Kirei's throat, which showed that the food on the pure white porcelain plate was already making him salivate.

Unable to bear it any longer, Kotomine Kirei took the lead in picking up a spoon, scooped up the only greasy food in the red spicy oil from the pure white porcelain plate, and put it into his mouth without hesitation.

"Hiha————!"

hot!

So hot!

His tongue, lips, and mouth were all hot, but even so, Kotomine Kirei couldn't spit it out and could only let it roll around in his mouth.

After finally swallowing it, Kotomine Kirei lost his composure and immediately looked at Shirou with a somewhat excited expression.

"What on earth...is this!?"

"This is "Ma Po Tofu"."

Shirou answered Kotomine Kirei's question.

"It seems you haven't even heard of it."

Even people who have never tasted Chinese food will have heard about it more or less, but Kotomine Kirei has no idea about it at all.

"For some special reasons, I rarely active in the world of ordinary people..."

The expression on Kotomine Kirei's face, who realized that he had lost some of his composure, gradually returned to calmness, but when he saw the Mapo tofu on the white porcelain plate in front of him, there was still an unconcealable heat in his eyes.

Only such an intense taste can make someone like Kotomine Kirei feel his heartbeat surging.

"This is really the first time I have encountered food like this. There are such beautiful things in this world..."

Kotomine Kirei looked at the hot and bubbling Mapo Tofu and murmured like this.

He was born with a personality flaw.

Not even able to understand what ordinary people consider beautiful.

On the contrary, he can feel quite deeply about the things that many people call ugly.

This dangerous cognitive bias has made Kotomine Kirei's bad life up to now indescribable dullness.

Neither the birth of his daughter nor the death of his wife could cause him any emotional fluctuations.

Although he has always been restraining his inner ruthlessness and trying his best to move himself closer to the normal world.

But even after so many years, it still hasn't been done.

but!

Just today!

Kotomine Kirei felt indescribable emotions in that plate of piping hot "Mapo Tofu".

His heartbeat has never been so surging, and his emotions have never been so passionate!

This almost twisted pleasure made him like a hungry wild dog, eager to possess these delicacies.

Originally, Kotomine Kirei had a hard time dealing with Chinese food, but this restaurant tasted like hell.

In the mechanical movements of scooping up tofu and putting it in his mouth again and again, Kotomine Kirei felt that his brain was gradually losing the basic ability to think.

He was now eating like a beast relying solely on instinct, just eating and drinking hot mapo tofu.

The obliquely cut garlic sprouts are still fresh and green.

Put it into your mouth together with the piping hot soft tofu.

As if melting on the tip of his tongue, he closed his eyes in satisfaction and smiled happily.

Zanthoxylum bungeanum...

Douban’s spicy...

The smell of beef...

Hot tofu...

The various flavors intertwined like a gorgeous piece of music, making Kotomine Kirei feel sublimated throughout his body.

Even though his burned lips were slightly red, Kotomine Kirei still didn't stop at all.

He put spoonfuls of tofu into his mouth.

An unprecedented sense of satisfaction was filling his empty heart.

He was sweating profusely after eating, as if there was a fire burning in his heart.

The image and other things have been abandoned long ago. Now, Kotomine Kirei only longs for the moment when his stomach is filled, which will come later, and he can savor this delicious food for a while longer.

Kotomine Kirei's uninterrupted momentum attracted the attention of some pedestrians on the street outside.

Sweat was pouring from his forehead, and he didn't drink any water at all. His momentum of eating one bite after another was like Shura's.

Wouldn't it be delicious?People have come up with such ideas.

It's like mixing spicy oil and chili peppers and cooking them for 100 years until they are completely integrated. It is a dish that even Kotomine Kirei, who thinks he is a demon heretic, will find delicious from now on.

The pure white porcelain plate that was originally full of spicy oil was emptied out in a short time under Kotomine Kirei's sweep.

Looking at the clean white porcelain plate, Kotomine Kirei had a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

Although I wanted to eat again, I was already too full.

And if you continue like this, you may not be able to taste the delicious food in the previous state when you are full.

So, we can only give up on it.

Chapter 36 The King of Heroes has only one true friend

Gilgamesh also tasted it. Although he was not as exaggerated as Kotomine Kirei, he still showed an expression that the trip was worthwhile.

"It's indeed good. This is a reward for you."

With that said, Gilgamesh took out a golden wine glass and threw it to the store manager.
