Chapter 49

Returning to the classroom, Kushina took out two exquisite bento boxes from her desk drawer and handed one of them to Uchiha Yin.

"Try it. I carefully prepared this bento this morning, and it must be delicious."

Kushina Uzumaki sat down beside Uchiha Yin without the slightest guard, looking at him with anticipation in her eyes.

A burst of a young girl's fresh fragrance wafted over, but Uchiha Yin paid no attention to it.

Compared to that, he cared much more about whether what he was about to eat today would be dark cuisine.

After all, having been heavily brainwashed by fanfiction in his past life, he had no idea what Kushina's true cooking skills were like.

With a solemn expression on his face, he opened the bento box.

Well, the food inside exceeded Uchiha Yin's expectations and looked exceptionally good.

Even so, Uchiha Yin still did not lower his guard, as many masters of the Dark Cuisine World made food that looked great on the outside, only for the taste itself to be agonizingly unforgettable down to the bone.

Could it be that Kushina was already a master of the Dark Cuisine World on that level?

With difficulty, Uchiha Yin picked up a mouthful of food with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Kushina opened her eyes wide, asking with a hint of curiosity.

Well, it was unexpectedly quite good.

Uchiha Yin felt a slight surprise in his heart. Originally, he had already prepared himself to force the food down, but unexpectedly, the bento Kushina made didn't taste bad at all.

It seemed that things in novels weren't necessarily reliable, at least not when it came to judging Kushina's cooking skills.

"Is it not delicious?"

Seeing that the solemn look on Uchiha Yin's face had not dissipated, Kushina felt a wave of tension in her heart as well.

Could it be that she had added the wrong ingredient to her cooking this time? Or was the heat not controlled well? Or perhaps what she made simply didn't suit Uchiha Yin's taste.

At this moment, Kushina didn't even think about what would happen if her mission failed; instead, she cared far more about Uchiha Yin's own feelings.

Seeing Kushina's nervous appearance, Uchiha Yin felt a warmth in his own heart.

"Open up." Uchiha Yin picked up a small rice ball topped with vegetables and meat, and brought it toward Kushina's mouth.

Hearing this, Kushina froze for a moment, and her cherry lips parted subconsciously. The next moment, the chopsticks holding the rice ball reached in.

Well, the taste was fine; it shouldn't have been a mistake in her cooking. Could it be a matter of taste preference?

"How do you find the taste?" Uchiha Yin asked expressionlessly.

"The taste should be fine, right? Is it not to your taste, Yin?" Kushina knitted her delicate brows and asked.

"The taste just now was average, but the taste right now is very good."

At this moment, Uchiha Yin wore a smile as he shook the chopsticks that had just reached into Kushina's mouth, gently picked up another rice ball, and put it into his mouth. Afterward, he even licked the tip of the chopsticks.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing Side Quest Two. The bento you made has gained the approval of Uchiha Yin, and the reward is the preliminary awakening of Mind's Eye of the Kagura."

The system's voice rang in Kushina Uzumaki's mind, but she momentarily had no mind to pay attention to the voice in her head.

"Ah, Yin, you are so bad."
