"The taste is normal, sister, you must have made a mistake."
Did I make a mistake?
This is impossible,
How could she not tell the difference between the taste of chicken and beef? Moreover, the taste of beef and its high-quality texture could not be replaced by chicken.
"without,"
Although Tachibana Haruna denied it and insisted on her own idea, she still tried to pick up the second piece of fried chicken and put it in her mouth.
The signature fried chicken taste without a hint of beef.
"Maybe it's an illusion!"
Seeing her sister approaching with a worried look on her face, Tachibana Haruna felt much better.
But my sister smells so good today!
It smells pretty good.
Tachibana Haruna smelled it.
Regarding this abnormality, she wondered if she was really hallucinating, but after a while after she put the chicken nuggets dipped in ketchup into her mouth, she tasted the flavors of the other ingredients.
It was greens, tomatoes, and carrots which she didn't like very much.
"Forehead!"
This carrot has a pungent flavor.
Tachibana Haruna felt nauseous and almost vomited.
"elder sister,"
Tachibana Rui became even more worried.
"No, it's okay, don't worry about it."
She waved her hand, signaling her sister not to worry too much.
Now she is sure that something has changed in her body.
Is it weird again?
Tachibana Haruna looked around, observing her surroundings and being on guard against any strange things that might happen.
The rooftop was empty, and under the bright sunshine, there were only her and Tachibana Rui.
Nothing unusual.
But she didn't let her worry down, and thought about finding time to talk to Lin Ye later.
Lin Ye is a professional in this field, he must know the solution!
……
……
After finishing the meal, Lin Ye packed up the lunch box and said, "I'll trouble you from now on."
"Ah."
Yukinoshita Yukino nodded slightly.
‘Crash’.
Lin Ye stood up and said, seeing the two people's stunned expressions, "I'll leave first. If you need anything, you can call me. I'm going to take a leave for the club activities of the service department this afternoon. I'll probably have something to do this week."
He informed in advance.
"I see."
Yukinoshita Yukino knew that Lin Ye wanted to solve the problems he encountered by himself.
Don't want to trouble her? Or don't trust her?
And for Yukinoshita Yukino, there is another question, which is the answer from Lin Ye when she contacted Lin Ye last week to tell him about her memory abnormality.
This week, Lin Ye should have told her the reason, but now it seems that Lin Ye has no intention of telling her.
"Tatta..."
Lin Ye walked towards the door of the service department's office.
'Click...' The door opened.
Lin Ye walked out, and Sakurajima Mai followed him out. At the moment the door closed, she looked back at the two of them.
"Sorry for the wait, Senior."
"Nothing, but what's wrong with you?"
Mai Sakurajima had not failed to notice Lin Ye's abnormality.
"There are some issues with taste and smell, and we can't pinpoint the exact trigger yet."
Taste?
The problem with taste buds is that you can't taste anything, but it doesn't mean that you will eat beef and it tastes like chicken!
And the sense of smell...
"You can't smell it?"
After Sakurajima Mai finished speaking, she extended her hand to Lin Ye and said, "Smell it, what does it smell like?"
Lin Ye looked surprised. He bent down slightly and sniffed, "Sniff..."
"How about it?"
"smelly."
Suddenly, Sakurajima Mai's face changed. It wouldn't be really smelly when Lin Ye smelled it, right?
She immediately withdrew her hand and took the initiative to distance herself from Lin Ye.
No one likes to be perceived as smelling bad.
Sakurajima Mai's eyes were a little flustered, but when she saw the smile on Lin Ye's lips, she immediately understood.
"fraud,"
The bastard Lin Ye lied to her, she didn't stink at all.
"Senior sister really cares about this!"
"Don't care."
But this is just talk.
Sakurajima Mai was in a bad mood now. She walked shoulder to shoulder with Lin Ye to the convenience store at Sobu High School without speaking a word to Lin Ye.
"What to eat?"
Now, there are not many people in the convenience store, but the lunch left is not good either.
"That fried noodle bread! I've always wanted to eat it."
But I have never eaten it because of my body shape.
Now, she has slightly relaxed the restrictions on her appetite, and she doesn't know whether she can return to her previous normal life. Sakurajima Mai decides to enjoy herself for the time being and enjoy the happiness and joy of the world.
"Boss, one serving of fried noodles and two sausages."
Lin Ye saw some sausages left.
"That's seven hundred and fifty yen."
One thousand yen was handed to the store owner, and soon, two hundred and fifty yen was in Lin Ye's hands.
Two minutes later, Lin Ye found a deserted place.
"This is it!"
"Ah."
Mai Sakurajima tidied her clothes, walked to the edge of the flower bed, and took the bread and sausage handed to her by Lin Ye.
Lin Ye started eating the remaining sausage in his hand.
The grilled sausage tastes good.
Chicken starch sausage, but it tastes really good.
At this time, Sakurajima Mai tore open the bread packaging, slightly opened her red lips and took a bite.
Full of carbohydrates, the milky aroma of bread and the greasy fried noodles mixed together whetted her appetite.
When you are in a bad mood, eating some delicious food can always make you feel better.
"If it's not enough, I can buy more."
"No, this is more than enough."
She continued to eat, and Lin Ye continued to bite the sausage.
As soon as I took a bite, the taste changed immediately.
It tastes like fried noodle bread.
He stared blankly at Mai Sakurajima and the fried noodles bread in her hand.
"what happened?"
"Mind if I take a bite?"
Mai Sakurajima was stunned.
Is this request too intimate?
"Senior, just break off some. Bread and noodles will be fine."
She thought about it and nodded in agreement. Then, through the wrapping paper, she handed a portion of the bread to Lin Ye and said, "Here."
Lin Ye tasted it.
Tastes the same.
Although the taste of fried noodles and bread is almost the same, it was such a coincidence that he tasted the flavor of fried noodles and bread when he was eating the sausage.
"Do you feel anything special when you eat this fried noodle bread?"
"Feel?"
She tilted her head, a little confused, "No, it's quite normal."
“Does the taste of this bread change?”
Isn't it Mai Sakurajima? Or is this one-way? But considering the shortcoming of the previous super power perspective, 'two-way perspective', Lin Ye felt that he still needed to ask for confirmation.
"No, it's normal. The bread and sausage taste good."
"..."
Lin Ye pointed at the finished sausage in Sakurajima Mai's hand.
This time, it was Mai Sakurajima's turn to fall into silence.
How can you taste the flavor of sausage if you haven’t even eaten it?
startled.
Sakurajima Mai swallowed, "This...is this our shared sense of taste?"
She couldn't help but ask.
"Not sure, but the possibility is high. Let's go back tonight and give it a try."
There is a discovery.
At present, Lin Ye can be sure of three points. The first is that the changes occurred when he ate meat products, and the second is that he shared the taste with another person.
And the third point is that the other person is not fixed.
This time it was Sakurajima Mai, but last time it was definitely not Sakurajima Mai, nor was it Yukinoshita and Yuigahama Yui, but a person who had fried chicken nuggets and ketchup dishes for lunch.
Lin Ye set his target on people he was familiar with, and began to question and investigate based on how close their relationship was.
