The pure white noodles, springy and full of flavor, slid straight onto everyone's tongues.
Pesche ate fairly normally. Though his mouth was pointed, it did not affect his eating. Still, Asano Kiyoshi was surprised that Pesche even knew how to use chopsticks.
Dondochakka and Bawabawa, however, were so large that a single bowl of noodles barely registered any flavor to them. They nearly ate the bowls along with the noodles.
Since Nel was always clumsy with chopsticks, Asano Kiyoshi had no choice but to feed her one bite at a time.
Every time he fed her noodles, Asano Kiyoshi blew on them twice. Nel ate so quickly that he was afraid she would burn herself.
Besides, Nel was a picky eater. She did not eat cilantro.
Helpless, Asano Kiyoshi could only eat all the cilantro in the noodles himself.
Seeing Nel's cheeks puffed out like a chipmunk's, Asano Kiyoshi could not resist poking them. As a result, Nel nearly spat everything out.
Under Nel's tearful gaze, Asano Kiyoshi fled to Ulquiorra's side in a panic, filled with guilt.
At that moment, Ulquiorra was staring blankly at his bowl of noodles.
Asano Kiyoshi had been confused at first, but when he saw Ulquiorra's face, which had only one pair of eyes, he immediately understood. He said apologetically to Ulquiorra,
"Sorry..."
But Ulquiorra looked up at Asano Kiyoshi, and his eyes seemed to see why he was feeling so down.
Ulquiorra shook his head. There was a slight emotional fluctuation in his usually unchanging tone.
"No, it is fine. I can eat food."
As soon as he spoke, Ulquiorra extended a finger and lightly touched the rim of the porcelain bowl. Then, the noodles slowly transformed into particles of deep blue Reishi. Once they entered the air, the Reishi did not disperse.
