The outsider named Acheron's cooking could be set aside for now.
But was Sister Shadow's cooking even fit for human consumption?
She stared in astonishment.
Yet the two warrior ladies clearly did not think there was anything wrong with the current situation.
A warrior's duel.
It was supposed to involve the risk of death.
Acheron picked up her chopsticks without hesitation and stuffed the slime stew into her mouth. It looked as though someone had boiled car tires in a pot for three hours, then run electricity through them.
Almost the instant she swallowed it, her hair erupted with intense arcs of electricity.
The horrific sight nearly made Kiana scream.
No.
This person named Acheron looked like she was about to turn into Pikachu!!
"Are you okay?!"
Kiana nearly jumped to her feet.
Unexpectedly, though all her hair seemed to have been electrified upright, the woman who had eaten the food wore a thoughtful expression.
Her tongue felt slightly numb and tingly.
It was rather strange.
Oil, salt, and sugar.
The three things living creatures could not refuse.
For an exhausted lifeform, as long as two of the three were present, they were enough to replenish energy and provide a feast for the taste buds.
But before industrialization, these three things were not easy to come by.
Thus, some places had no choice but to use vinegar, ginger, and chili peppers to stimulate the palate.
Since her sense of taste had already been diluted until only a trace remained.
Perhaps she could try eating some strange foods to make up for the loss of sensations like sourness, sweetness, bitterness, spiciness, and saltiness?
"It is fine."
She smiled faintly at Kiana, responding to her concern.
Then she turned back to Raiden Ei.
"The taste is acceptable. It has considerable learning value."
