Chapter 48 - Chapter 47: Hot Spring Egg Beef Bowl

He forcefully suppressed the restless thoughts in his mind. Although it was within arm's reach, and he could touch everything with a slight reach, if he dared to touch, he would be socially ruined.

In serious cases, he might even be sent to the police station.

How was this different from a edging challenge?

Looking at Kitagawa Marin's sly smile, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but sigh. This girl really had him wrapped around her finger. What a terrible, bad woman!

"Alright, alright! Don't bully Sora anymore."

Reaching out and hugging Kitagawa Marin from behind, her hands involuntarily moved forward. A subtle hint of jealousy appeared in her eyes. If she remembered correctly, the other party should be younger than her.

But the 'weight' was...

Comparing herself, Rika felt utterly dejected.

"Alright, alright! Stop it!"

"No, take this~"

They completely failed to notice how seductive their playful scuffle appeared in front of Hoshino Sora, especially when Kitagawa's shoulder strap slipped down to her shoulder later on.

The large expanse of fair skin made Hoshino Sora parched.

"This taste is amazing! The aroma of the beef is truly irresistible."

Yuigahama had no thoughts about their playful scuffle. At this moment, all her attention was focused on the hot spring egg beef bowl in front of her. The rich aroma made her unable to look away.

"It's said to be a special sauce. Just from the smell, it's indeed richer than the beef bowls from ordinary shops, and there's a lot of beef. I just don't know how it tastes."

Looking at the generous hot spring egg beef bowl in front of him, Hoshino Sora also swallowed. The perfectly fried hot spring egg looked very appetizing, and underneath were beef and rice coated in sauce.

The proportion of beef even accounted for half of the entire dish! It had a wild beauty.

"I'm going to eat!"

Clasping her hands together and muttering a phrase, Ya Xiang was the first to start. She picked up a full chopstick-full of beef and put it into her mouth, then closed her eyes and savored it with a slight blush.

The beef, coated in sauce, had a rich flavor. The next moment, Ya Xiang's hair subtly floated up, and a ranch repeatedly appeared before her eyes, with cattle mooing and the ground covered in various medicinal herbs.

The wind in the sky caressed her body, giving her a feeling of exhilaration and satisfaction. The rich flavors formed an aromatic bomb, exploding and reveling in her mouth.

She poked the egg yolk, allowing it to perfectly mix with the beef. As the egg liquid flowed down, a golden sheen appeared on the surface of the beef, making it quite appetizing.

"Angelica dahurica, Nardostachys chinensis, hawthorn, galangal..."

Closing his eyes and carefully savoring the profoundness within, Hoshino Sora keenly distinguished the components of the secret sauce. His long-unlocked cooking skill: Spice Equation, came into great use at this moment.

"[Analyze Dish]: Hot Spring Egg Beef Bowl"

"[Quality]: Bronze (Intermediate)"

"[Analysis 19%]: Dish ingredients include eggs, beef, rice, secret spices..."

Hmm?

A system prompt sounded in his mind, and Hoshino Sora let out a puzzled sound. He still wanted to rely on the system to analyze and verify his taste, but the system actually told him it wouldn't analyze the secret sauce?

Wasn't this like taking off his pants only for the other party to say she was on her period?

A bit of a letdown.

He felt a subtle regret in his heart, but it was harmless. Anyway, he could analyze the composition of the secret sauce with his taste, which was an derivative ability brought by Spice Equation.

Wait, did that mean he possessed God Tongue?

Thinking about it, it did seem somewhat similar, but there were also some differences. The difference was that he needed to concentrate to discern the spices within, while Erina Nakiri knew just by tasting it.

It could be considered a weakened version of God Tongue.

Clicking his tongue, he had already comprehended most of the spice composition, but the proportions weren't quite accurate. However, if he had medicinal herbs to experiment with, he could truly master it in two hours.

How was this not a form of NTR?

"Delicious! This bite is truly satisfying. It's like the pleasure of swimming in a beef paradise. Eh, is it already finished? I feel like I barely moved my chopsticks. So fast..."

"Manager, don't you like it? If you don't like it, let me help you~"

Looking at Hoshino Sora, who suddenly spaced out halfway through his meal with a large amount of beef still in his bowl, Kitagawa Marin slyly scooted over, extending her chopsticks to try and steal some as she spoke.

"I didn't say I don't like it; I was just thinking about something."

Looking at the chopsticks that were about to reach into his bowl, Hoshino Sora snapped out of his spice analysis and grumpily used his own chopsticks to knock hers away. However, seeing her pitiful expression, he still softened and picked up a beef roll with his chopsticks, offering it to her mouth.

It truly embodied the old saying, 'The squeaky wheel gets the grease.'

"Aww, yeah! Boss is generous."

Covering her face, she let out a blissful sound of enjoyment. After eating that bite of beef, Kitagawa contentedly lay down on the tatami mat. The others also looked at Hoshino Sora, but he ignored them.

Are you kidding? What was left wasn't even enough for himself!

----------

After dinner, Hoshino Sora also went to the hot spring outside the room and took a comfortable bath. It was already around nine in the evening when he came back.

"Are you going to bed so early? By the way, the bedding is in the cabinet over here, right?"

Ignoring the futon laid between Yaxiang Lixiang, Hoshino Sora went to the cabinet where the futon was stored, pulled open the door, and found nothing inside.

"I've already laid out the futon for you."

"You just need to lie down obediently."

Looking at Hoshino Sora, who was within reach, Yaxiang Lixiang unceremoniously pulled him down. Fortunately, the ground was a soft futon; otherwise, he would have suffered a herniated disc.

"Is the manager going to sleep in the middle of everyone? While I don't object, I still want to remind you not to do anything at night that might attract the police while everyone is sleeping."

"No way! I'm going to turn off the lights first."

Looking at the futon placed right in the middle, Kitagawa's face revealed a hint of excitement. This kind of gathering where everyone slept together was simply too wonderful! This reminded her of a certain doujin she had read recently.

"Night Falls, Trapped in the Snow Mountain, We Choose to Huddle for Warmth"

A classic R18 harem work, it tells the story of the protagonist, his elder sister, younger sister, and childhood friend getting trapped in a snow mountain, and finally, their mutual devotion in a rescue station.

What impressed her most was when the girls felt cold sleeping at night, and the childhood friend tentatively burrowed into the male lead's futon, only to find the temperature inside was very high, so they huddled together for warmth.

Then, the elder sister and younger sister also couldn't stand the cold and burrowed in. The male lead couldn't resist the temptation, and then the four of them, together, did illicit things in the small futon.

She remembered that plot very clearly; it could be said to be the climax of the entire game, especially when combined with that background music, the visual impact was directly full marks, because it was too lewd!
