The Journey of the Dimensional Warrior

Ayase Eri shook her head while laughing.

"It's called a very, very spicy tofu made by a woman with pockmarked face."

"Hahaha." The laughter of the boy and the girl were intertwined, full of youthful breath.

"However, this translation is quite correct. It is said that Mapo Tofu was founded in the first year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty in a store named Chen Xingsheng Restaurant by the Wanfu Bridge in Chengdu. Because the owner Chen Chunfu died early, the small restaurant was run by the proprietress. The female boss's face is slightly numb, and she is called 'Chen Mapo'." Xiao Bieli said after laughing.

Looking at the curious eyes of Ayase Eri, he paused for a while and took a bite of the husband and wife's lung slices before continuing: "Chen has a unique set of cooking skills for cooking tofu. It is deeply loved by people, and the roasted tofu she created is called "Chen Mapo Tofu", and later evolved into the current Mapo Tofu."

At this time, a plate of steaming mapo tofu was also served, and of course there were four bowls of rice.

In the hot red oil is tender white and shiny tofu, sprinkled with green onion, the three colors of red, white and green give people an inexplicable temptation, the inch-long garlic sprouts stand upright in the bowl, The emerald green orchids are very bright in oil, as if they have just been picked from the border and chopped, they are vivid, but they are all ripe when they are sandwiched in the mouth, without any jerky taste.

The characteristic of Mapo tofu lies in the eight characters of hemp, spicy, hot, fragrant, crisp, tender, fresh and alive, also known as the eight-character proverb.

Ayase Eri took the lead in picking up a piece of steaming tofu under Xiao Bieli's gesture, and before she took a breath, the scent had already filled her nasal cavity. She blew a few times and put it in her mouth. It felt hot when it entered the mouth, but the hotness was tolerable, followed by a spicy taste that rushed straight to the brain.

This made her, who doesn't usually eat spicy food, suddenly feel like a burning flame was placed in her mouth. The burning sensation made her sweat profusely all over her body, and her little face instantly turned bright red. She found that her mouth had started to feel numb at some point, and the numbness stuck in her throat, which made her feel a little tight.

"Hmm!" As soon as Ayase Eri swallowed the tofu in her mouth, she picked up the teacup and took a big sip of tea, but the hot tea did not relieve Ayase Eri's numb tongue from the heat As a result, it seemed to add fuel to the flames and made her feel even hotter, and then she looked around for water impatiently.

After receiving a water glass that was handed to her, her hand was cold, she raised her neck and drank a large glass full of ice water. The ice water quenched the burning flame in her mouth, which made her feel much more comfortable.

"Hoohoo." Ayase Eri gasped a few times, looked up and saw Xiao Bieli who was sitting across from him with a half-smile expression, and immediately understood what was going on.

"Xiao Jun, you bastard! Big bastard! You're trying to embarrass me on purpose!" Ayase Eri roared with a flushed face.

"No, I didn't expect Eri that you can't take spicy food so much." Xiao Bieli said and put a large piece of mapo tofu into his mouth, "Well, it's delicious! But the spiciness doesn't seem to be enough If I had known it earlier, I would have told the waiter to make it super spicy, no, it’s better to be super spicy.”

Ayase Eri watched Xiao Bieli take a mouthful of mapo tofu as if nothing had happened, and listened to his words, her beautiful brows were raised, and she thought to herself, "Isn't this spicy enough? Then what is spicy?"

"By the way, Eri, your reaction just now was really cute, that flushed face." Xiao Biebie teased Ayase Eri desperately.

"Farewell-kun! Go to hell!" Ayase Eri originally wanted to use her ability to smear him in the face, to teach this hippie smiling guy a very profound lesson, so that he would know that he is not easy to mess with, but thought that this is a restaurant Then he put out his thoughts of doing something, snorted coldly and turned his head away.

"Okay, okay! Come on, it should be better to eat with rice." Xiao Bieli handed over a bowl of rice, and Ayase Eri glanced at the smiling young man, and then at the boy handed to him. The rice still reached out and took it.

As expected, the mapo tofu with rice was not as spicy as before, but it still made her whole body hot, and the sweat flowed down her cheeks. Her golden hair stuck to her fair and tender face, and her white uniform shirt was wet with sweat. It clings to the body, highlighting the girl's proud body curve, and Xiao Bieli, who is sitting directly opposite Ayase Eri, can even see the black hood under the clothes clearly.

But Xiao Bieli didn't dare to stare blatantly, he could only glance once or twice from time to time, imagining what he saw in the locker room not long ago.

Ayase Eri concentrated on the delicious food in front of her, and didn't notice Xiao Bieli's little tricks, otherwise what was waiting for Xiao Bieber was another baptism of laser beams.

Soon, the last dish of sauerkraut fish was served. The white fish meat was mixed with the dark blue sauerkraut, and some chili peppers and chopped green onions were floating on the slightly yellowed soup.

"Come on, let's have a bowl of pickled cabbage and fish soup first." Xiao Bieli got up and took the soup bowl from Ayase Eri's tableware and filled her with a full bowl of pickled cabbage, fish and soup.

Ayase Eri, who just suffered from mapo tofu, seemed unusually cautious. She first tasted a small sip of the soup with a spoon, and then used chopsticks to pick up a little bit of fish and sauerkraut and put it in her mouth. Eight words came out: the fish is fresh and tender, hot and sour and delicious.

"хорошо!" Ayase Eri's eyes showed little golden stars, and she began to pick up her rice bowl and eat.

Xiao Bieli, who watched Ayase Eri keep sweeping the dishes on the table, also jumped into it with a smile. The two competed for the delicious food on the plate. They bumped into each other with their chopsticks several times, but they still had a good time Almost enjoying the happy hour of dinner.

Soon Xiao Bieli's three big bowls of rice were exhausted, and several dishes were also eaten up.

Chapter 23 Nakiri Senzaemon

By the time Xiao Bieli and Ayase Eri finished their dinner, it was not too late, it was only around eight o'clock.

The street lights on both sides of the road illuminate the bustling streets of Academy City, the towering skyscrapers are brightly lit, and the neon lights on various shops and supermarkets are shining with colorful lights, changing different patterns.

The night in a modern city will never be lonely. Places where singing and dancing are peaceful and the lights are dim show the style of the city that never sleeps. Even in this academy city, there are people walking around all night in Internet cafes, ktv and game halls.

Walking through the street, I bought two cups of hot pearl milk tea at a cold drink shop on the street, and boarded the train. Ayase Eri and Xiao Bieli planned to go back to the dormitory. After all, I have to go to school tomorrow, so I can’t play today. It's too late, and things like staying out at night are not suitable for two people.

The speed of the levitation train was still very fast, and the two of them arrived at the station not long after. They walked out of the station and hadn't arrived home yet, but it wasn't too far away.

The two were talking and laughing as they walked toward the dormitory, but Ayase Eri stopped in front of a dark alley.

Several light clusters slowly emerged around her body, and the light clusters moved forward to completely drive away the darkness in the alley, and then Ayase Eri walked forward again.

"Haha, Eri, you are still so afraid of the dark!" Xiao Bieli couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.

"What's wrong with girls being afraid of the dark?" Ayase Eri asked back, while staring at Xiao Bieli with rather unfriendly eyes, the light group around her was ready to move, as if she would use a light cannon to smear Xiao Bieli's face at any time.

"That's right, that's right, girls have a lot of privileges." Feeling that his life was in danger, Xiao Bieli laughed and said, "Remember, Eri, you only exposed this weakness when the store's power went out that night. right?"

"Tch, thank you for remembering this kind of thing." Ayase Eri did not deny it, "That night the store manager went out on a blind date again, and besides the chef who was busy in the kitchen, there were only the two of us left in the store , the power cut was inexplicable, it was terrible."

"Of course I remember. At that time, you were only level 3, and you couldn't condense the light. When the power went out, you were so scared that you threw yourself into my arms and hugged me tightly. No matter how much I persuaded you, you would not let go." Xiao Bieli Recalling the scene at that time, he continued: "However, I think your ability is tailor-made for you. It's quite convenient to take pictures of the road."

"My ability can not only be used to illuminate the road, do you want to try it?" Eri Ayase blushed, not knowing whether it was shame or anger.

"Then there's no need, well, you've arrived at the gate of the building, see you tomorrow!" Seeing that the situation was not right, Xiao Bieli immediately said goodbye and left.

"Hmph!" Ayase Eri didn't say anything more, but she kept standing in the same place and looked towards the direction where Xiao Bieli left, until Xiao Bieli's back completely disappeared from her sight before turning around and going upstairs.

At the same time, in a luxurious European-style mansion in Yuanyue Academy in Academy City, a burly old man with white hair was standing in the wide kendo dojo with his eyes closed and his hands drooping naturally.

The old man was tall and burly, with a very obvious scar on his right eye, with a white beard, wearing a Japanese-style kimono, and wearing clogs, his face was calm, his whole body restrained, like a sleeping lion.

Suddenly, the old man's eyes opened without warning, and a glimmer of awe-inspiring light flashed in the red pupils.

He moved, and saw a silver light flashing out in the air. In an instant, the silver light was as swift as thunder, and it flashed by, followed by the sound of drawing the knife out of its sheath.

This is almost to the extreme, and the amazing one-knife is the most authentic sword-drawing technique.

The wooden stake in front of the old man was cut open from the middle, and the wood fell to the ground with a crisp sound. The sound echoed in the quiet kendo field, but the old man had already put the knife back into its sheath.
