Chapter 195 “You’re only allowed to take a few bites.”
She knew Zeke had a bad stomach.
Because of that, their missions were often disrupted, and he was hospitalized a few times.
Zeke’s excitement died down instantly the moment he heard that.
But he quickly comforted himself, “Better than nothing,” and continued to dart toward the food stalls.
Nicole did not stop him again but slowly followed him.
The two of them sat down in front of a stall.
The stall owner who thought they did not speak the local language asked them in poor Esperian what they would like to eat.
Nicole looked at the many types of food in front of her eyes.
“What do you like?” she asked Zeke softly.
Zeke pointed to a few sticks of grilled chili peppers.
“I want this!”
Nicole looked at him expressionlessly.
“No.”
Zeke looked disappointed and then cautiously pointed to the grilled fish marinated with a layer of red, spicy oil.
“How about this?”
“No.” Nicole still gave the same answer.
At last, Zeke could only order a bowl of ramen with extreme disgruntlement.
The ramen tasted bland to his taste bud as he looked indignantly at Nicole, in front of whom were chili peppers and grilled fish.
When Nicole slowly savored the food in front of her with a straight face, Zeke could not believe his eyes.
He wondered if the food was as spicy as he had imagined.
Even the stall owner was puzzled, doubting if the chili peppers he used had expired.
But that was impossible.
He apparently had only taken the chili pepper out last night.
No way it would lose its spiciness so quickly.
