章 11: Chapter 10: What?
Adding water, cracking eggs, kneading the dough, and rolling it out…
Takuya's movements were as graceful as those of a top-level dancer.
His motions flowed smoothly, captivating everyone who watched!
Even Naruto and Chōji, who had just doubted him, fell silent in amazement!
Swish, swish, swish~~~
Takuya swiftly sliced up several pieces of cheese.
"Hey, what are you adding in there?"
Ayame panicked, about to rush over, but Teuchi stopped her.
"Let him do it!"
"This kid feels extraordinary!"
"Though he looks like a mere child, his actions and processes… it's as if he's an experienced master chef!"
Hearing Teuchi's praise, everyone else was stunned!
What was happening?
Wasn't Takuya just a kid like them?
How could his ramen skills earn such high praise from the ramen master?
Teuchi narrowed his eyes slightly.
In truth, there were some honest thoughts he didn't dare voice.
That was…
Takuya's movements while making ramen resembled his own!
Yes.
He saw a reflection of himself in Takuya!
It felt as if Takuya were his son, having inherited the skills he had taught over decades!
Tap, tap, tap!
Chopping vegetables, frying ingredients, boiling noodles…
Takuya's exquisite skills were vividly displayed in the pot!
Twenty minutes later.
"It's done."
Takuya fished out a bowl of noodles and placed it in front of Teuchi.
As he inhaled the aroma and looked at the glistening, translucent noodles, Teuchi felt a surge of nervousness.
He picked up his chopsticks, twirled a strand, and placed it in his mouth…
"This!"
In an instant, Teuchi's eyes widened, filled with astonishment!
"Oh my god! It's the first time I've seen Teuchi-san's eyes wide open!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Yeah! This is my first time too!" Ino added.
"What? Isn't Teuchi-san blind?" Naruto asked.
The room buzzed with chatter.
Meanwhile, sweat began to bead on Teuchi's forehead.
"Kid! This ramen! Where did you learn such a skill?!"
Takuya calmly replied, "Nothing special; just practice makes perfect."
Teuchi was completely stunned.
His eyes bulged, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
"This ramen is incredibly delicious! It surpasses my own skills!"
What!?
Hearing Teuchi's evaluation, the room full of kids was dumbfounded!
"No way?!"
"Teuchi-san, you're not joking, right?!"
"Takuya just casually made ramen, and it's better than yours?"
No one dared to believe it.
Naruto was the first to rush over, grabbing a bite and eating it.
Then he froze.
"I…"
"This ramen… the flavor is really… really different…"
The others couldn't hold back any longer and rushed to try it.
"Wow… what is this flavor? It's really delicious!"
"The noodles are so chewy, they spring back to the teeth!"
"And this broth, though clearer, what's with this rich aroma?"
"Takuya! Did you put something in here?"
Everyone was left in awe after tasting Takuya's ramen!
It was evident; the flavor didn't lie.
Takuya's ramen was indeed better than Teuchi's!
"This…"
Ayame's face turned pale with anxiety.
Because if word got out that Takuya's ramen was better than her father's, would it affect their family business?
Moreover,
What if Takuya didn't want to be a ninja and decided to open his own shop? Would that pose a serious threat to Ichiraku Ramen?
Ayame was filled with panic, her worried gaze fixed on Takuya.
At that moment, Takuya also looked at her with a strange expression.
His ex-wife…
Her skills, her personality, her body…
He vividly remembered the moles on her backside.
After all, he had experienced all of it firsthand!
"System, I remember that the memory reward I received earlier could be shared with someone, right?"
Takuya asked in his mind.
[Yes.]
"Then after sharing the memory, will there be any mental confusion?"
[No, when memories are shared with others, they will be imprinted in their subconscious and evolve into their memories and illusions. Most people will only think of this as their own fantasy.]
Takuya nodded.
Since there was no risk, he decided to share!
He was also curious what Ayame's reaction would be if she found out she had married him and even had two children!
"Then share that memory with Ayame!"
Once the command was issued, the system immediately responded!
[Ding! Sharing memories…]
[Memory shared successfully!]
In an instant.
As Ayame silently gazed at Takuya, a flood of information and memories suddenly surged into her mind!
Takuya working at her family's shop, their sweet daily life, step by step.
After the Ninja World War ended, marrying him as his wife.
Sleeping beside him, fighting side by side.
Giving birth to his children…
Ayame's mind was in a daze as she looked at Takuya and involuntarily called out:
"Hubby?"
??????
In that instant.
The entire Ichiraku Ramen shop fell silent…
Everyone.
All stared at Ayame in shock.
After a few seconds of frozen silence, everyone erupted in chaos!
"What the hell?!"
"What's going on!? Ayame just called Takuya 'hubby'!?"
"Oh my god! Did she take the wrong medicine?!"
"Ayame-nee, you don't need to be so straightforward with your feelings for Takuya just because he made delicious ramen!"
"Wow, that's so direct!"
"Even if you like Takuya, you don't have to express it so openly!"
Everyone was in disbelief!
Sakura, Ino, Hinata…
Even Teuchi!
All looked at Ayame with astonished expressions!
And Ayame herself was blushing furiously, utterly bewildered!
In that fleeting moment, the memories that had flashed through her mind showed Takuya as her husband, with decades of love shared!
It felt so real, as if it had truly happened!
"I-I'm so sorry!"
"I lost my composure just now!"
Ayame quickly bowed and apologized.
Oh my gosh, calling a kid 'hubby'? How would that look if it got out?
Meanwhile, Takuya secretly felt pleased.
This ability was quite nice; if he were to marry other girls and create beautiful memories, he could also share those with them.
And he could share them with their original husbands as well!
