Truly, it should be outlawed!

The intensity, overwhelming. The scent, composure-shattering. The melding of flavors across her divine tongue…

Suddenly, the image of his smug grin flashed behind her eyes.

"D-Disgusting!" She scoffed, reflexively scooping more onto her spoon.

When in need of a reminder of the worst the culinary world had to offer, she snuck into here, the kitchen where Yukihira developed his dishes and recipes. Fortunately -- or unfortunately -- he sometimes left the pots and pans unwashed, and fortunately -- or unfortunately -- Hisako sometimes had things to do that required leaving Erina's side.

Even cold, the food was …. Horrifying! Like going on a refreshing walk in the crisp, autumn dawn with a… a… a…

In private, she did not have to bite back her unladylike growl of frustration. More! She needed another taste to truly wrap her mind around the atrocious flavor!

At the … the… nauseating texture, she slammed her palm onto the counter with a resounding slap! Her voice was left but a whimper by the overpowering horror she felt, "Disgusting."

But as she slipped another spoonful into her mouth, cracks wiggled into her resolve. If it was so terrible, why couldn't she stop eating it? The question had her blinking back frustrated tears.

How is it? The whisper echoed into her brain. I'm glad you liked it! It bounced off the walls of her skull like a pinball.

"Disgusting!" She stomped her foot and slapped the counter again to ward off the thoughts.

It was so bad, she had to eat it from existence! Yes! That was the answer! The custodians did nothing to deserve cleaning up this disgrace! The garbage would find offense on being ranked on the same level as his abominable concoctions! Her body realized this, and was making her choke down the "food" to spare her grandfather's staff!

She shoveled more in. "D-Disgusting!"
