"Megumi, when you say God Tongue, are you referring to the talent possessed by that Miss Nakiri from Far Moon?"
Ono Kenro couldn't help but ask.
After more than a day of getting along, the chefs at Kirinoya were already very familiar with these two interns.
"Mm. Yes, that's right."
Tadokoro Megumi nodded with a smile.
"It really is that dream-like talent!"
Everyone looked at Satou, feeling both envy and admiration.
For a chef, this kind of talent is simply a dream come true!
"No wonder you're so amazing; you truly live up to the God Tongue."
Hoshino Miyuki's face showed a look of realization; thinking about it, who else but the God Tongue could improve a dish after just one taste?
Hinako Inui was also a bit surprised, but then she smiled, "Oh, it seems I've really hit the jackpot!"
Everyone else's eyes lit up as well. You know, normally, if you wanted to invite that God Tongue from Far Moon to taste a dish, not only did you need to apply in advance, but you also had to pay a large, expensive fee.
They had originally thought that only ordinary interns were coming, but they didn't expect there to be a God Tongue among them. Isn't this a great opportunity?
"Satou, I'm researching a new dish and would like to ask you to taste it for me."
"Me too."
"And me."
Everyone swarmed around Satou, speaking all at once.
"I can, but can we do it one by one?"
Satou was a bit speechless, but he still agreed to taste them.
"Let's not talk about that for now."
Hinako Inui smiled slightly and said, "Miyuki, make another improved dish and send it to that guest."
Then she said to the waiter, "Tell that guest that if he's still not satisfied with this dish, we can cancel the order."
"Yes."
The waiter quickly bowed.
A short while later, Hoshino Miyuki prepared another improved version of the tofu tempura and gave it to the waiter to deliver.
Afterward, everyone began to wait nervously.
Although they all felt there was no problem after tasting it, the key was still to get the customer's approval.
A short while later, the waiter returned.
"How was it?"
Hoshino Miyuki quickly asked, as it was her dish that was being served.
The waiter's face showed a happy smile as he said, "The guest was very satisfied after tasting it and even said it felt like it had completely transformed into a different dish! So he has given up on canceling the order."
"That's great!"
Hoshino Miyuki breathed a sigh of relief and said happily.
The others looked at Satou again; they knew that he had transformed something ordinary into something miraculous, turning it into a brand new dish, just by tasting it once.
"Satou, thank you so much."
Hoshino Miyuki bowed deeply to Satou. If it weren't for him, her dish would have been temporarily removed from the menu.
"It's nothing. Just a small favor."
Satou smiled modestly.
"I've decided! Satou, from now on, you'll also discuss new recipes with us."
Hinako Inui smiled slightly, speaking in a gentle tone.
Everyone was immediately surprised. Although they knew Satou had the God Tongue, he had only started his internship here yesterday, right?
"Satou, you're amazing!"
Tadokoro Megumi was also full of admiration. Satou was already able to decide on new recipes, but she was still washing dishes.
No, I must work hard!
Tadokoro Megumi clenched her small fists and said firmly.
"Congratulations."
Hoshino Miyuki's eyes were also a bit complex. She had been at Kirinoya for five years before she had the right to introduce her own dishes, yet Satou had it after just two days.
Satou was also delighted. In this way, he would soon be able to put his own dishes on Kirinoya's menu.
However, he still needed to think carefully about what specific dish it should be.
He was best at Chinese cuisine, but Kirinoya was a Japanese restaurant, so a Japanese dish was needed.
"Oh, speaking of which, Satou, come and taste my dish."
"Me too."
At this moment, everyone suddenly remembered something and eagerly requested.
"We'll talk about this in the afternoon. Lunchtime isn't over yet, you know."
Hinako Inui held up a finger, admonishing them.
Everyone thought she was right, so they all returned to their posts.
"Satou, come with me for a moment."
Hinako Inui suddenly pulled Satou's arm, speaking in her uniquely gentle tone.
"Hinako-senpai, is something wrong?"
Satou couldn't help but ask.
"I have many dish ideas, and I'd like you to try them. Quick, come with me while they're not paying attention."
Hinako Inui held Satou's arm, stealthily looking around and saying.
Satou: "..."
Although Hinako Inui had the title of 'Mist Empress' during her time at Far Moon and was a formidable figure, she was actually a very gentle woman, and sometimes quite childish.
After a busy day, Satou and Tadokoro Megumi returned to the hotel.
"Today was really tiring."
Satou sighed.
Tadokoro Megumi next to him couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker, because today Satou had been pulled around by the chefs of Kirinoya, and had indeed tasted quite a few dishes.
You know, being able to have the God Tongue taste something is an extremely rare opportunity.
After entering his room, Satou picked up his phone and checked it, but to his slight disappointment, there was no call from Alice Nakiri.
Yesterday at this time, she had already called more than ten times.
Perhaps the restaurant was very busy today?
He thought to himself.
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Hmm? Is it Megumi?"
Satou thought as he opened the door, and then he saw a young girl with silver-white hair, dressed in a restaurant uniform, smiling at him.
"Eh? Alice, why are you here?"
Satou was immediately surprised and asked.
"Of course, I came to see you. What, do you not welcome me?"
Alice Nakiri pouted, sounding a bit unhappy.
"Of course not."
Satou couldn't help but smile, remembering that Alice Nakiri had indeed said yesterday that she would come here. He hadn't paid much attention at the time, but he didn't expect her to actually come.
Although the restaurant where she interned wasn't far from here, it was still an hour's drive. Seeing her still wearing her uniform, he knew she had taken a car right after work.
This deeply moved Satou.
