chapter 23

The living room of the Morishita family .

“By the way, Morishita-kun?”

“Hm? What is it?”

“Is your mother’s cooking good?”

“Aa, it’s heaven! It’ll feel like your tongue is melting and cheeks are dropping!”

Me and Abeno Kaguya looked at each other .

And then, we looked towards his mother who was cooking in the kitchen .

Since earlier a purple steam was coming from the kitchen .

I was having an ill-hunch and apparently Kaguya had one as well .

“By the way, Morishita-kun?”

“Ye? What is it?”

“Why is hydrochloric acid on the dining table?”

There was a bottle with “hydrochloric acid” written on it next to the spices on their dining table .

“Eh? Abeno-senpai’s family doesn’t put hydrochloric acid on their table? When the sourness is not enough we put hydrochloric acid…”

I and Abeno Kaguya once again looked at each other and nodded as if we’re certain about it .

It’s the standard little girl appearance but an old woman on the inside in light novels .

And if we speak of people whose food is bad then they’re also a standard in light novels .

Purple steam coming from there, and the casually put hydrochloric acid on the table… .

If you think about all of this then there’s only one conclusion .

That’s right, this is—–

A chemical kitchen .

Amongst the world of bad cooking it’s highly dangerous and not just unpleasant but also given as real poison… The most dangerous zone in bad cooking world .

This is a huge peril . Ultra-rare dangerous .

The time when me and Kaguya shivered with terror—

Morishita’s mother brought a huge plate from the kitchen while smiling to our waiting table .

“Everyone! Killer Yakisoba is complete!”

Right now, I heard Killer Yakisoba but it’s probably my imagination .

I’m startled a bit too much about the current situation .

“Mom’s yakisoba is really delicious!”

Morishita Daiki distributed the yakisoba from the huge plate and then immediately began eating yakisoba with chopsticks .

“Mom! Today, your usage of sourness is amazing!”

“Oh! You’ve figured out the secret ingredient?”

“This sour taste is… sulphuric acid, right?”

Secret ingredient she said, rather… Isn’t it a certain death flavor!

Rather, this talk of various chemicals… I didn’t think this talk would happen at the dining table .

“You’re correct! Because of Daiki-chan immediately realizing the secret ingredient, Mother is in a tough spot!”

“Well, I’ve eaten your meals for 17 years! Rather, it’s seriously good! My tongue is melting!”

It’s a mistake for it to melt, right!?

Ah, but… Morishita Daiki eats it like it’s really delicious .

Perhaps… I hit my palm with a *Pon* sound .

No matter how you explain it adding sulphuric acid or hydrochloric acid just for it to be sour is bloody insane and it has surpassed being nonsense .

I was wondering if Abeno Kaguya is thinking the same thing as me but she was laughing with a *Fufu* .

“You’re horrible, Morishita-kun . I hate bad jokes . ”

And then she separated the yakisoba in a small plate and then with chopsticks put them in her mouth .

“Buu!”

Like the Merlion statue she strongly spat out the noodles .

And then she fell flat on the table and began to cough .

“My tongue! My tongue is shivering…! Shivering… no, wrong… it’s hot… like it’s burning!”

Ah, she’s no good as I thought .

Abeno’s reaction of gulping water down and breathing heavily was ignored and Daiki’s mother disappeared into the kitchen with a smile .
