Animeverse Kitchen: My Culinary Journey Begins with Glowing Food! Chapter 243 243: The Magpie Bridge Meeting of Altair and Veg

The art-like starry sky glaze quietly lted in her mouth, a cool, smooth sweetness spreading over her tongue. A faint, tipsy aroma of "vanilla and citrus" from liquor expanded with it.

'...Liquor aroma?'

Hairu Iheiri had no ti to ponder.

The bottom layer of blueberry jam had already dissolved, its lively tartness cutting a refreshing gap through the sweetness.

Her pearly white teeth gently closed—

The ladyfinger, soaked in coffee-liquor, was already moist and soft. It collapsed silently between her teeth, leaving only a llow, bitter aftertaste and a rich wheat fragrance.

At the sa ti, the Blackthorn cheese mousse surged forward. Its texture was light, lting instantly, its dense-yet-silky body intertwining with the slightly bitter, llow aroma of the coffee-liquor.

The "vanilla and citrus" aroma from the glaze called out to the coffee-liquor aroma, making the overall flavor profile even more complex and diverse.

'An unparalleled flavor—!'

Hairu Iheiri couldn't help but widen her sparkling eyes, her pupils reflecting the brilliant galaxy as a look of pure astonishnt blood on her face. Her expression then softened, and she closed her eyes, imrsing herself in the food's illusion.

...

For an instant—

Hairu felt as if she had traveled through ti and space, standing on a cold, desolate planet in another identity.

Before her, the Milky Way cascaded down, and billions of stars flowed in a dazzling, brilliant display.

She stared blankly at the boundless universe, until a cool sensation touched her fingertips.

Hairu looked down—

She discovered that she was now wearing a moon-white "retaining-immortal" skirt. The fabric draped like flowing water, and the edges were embroidered with silver thread in the pattern of stars that seed to faintly glow. A sash woven from magpie feathers was tied at her waist.

"What a beautiful dress!" Hairu blinked in surprise, curiously adjusting the garnt.

Just then—

"Chirp! Chirp! Flutter—!"

The crisp calls of countless magpies, accompanied by the soft sound of flapping wings, suddenly filled her ears.

Hairu instinctively looked toward the sound and froze.

Countless magpies—which, upon closer inspection, were ford from the very cake she found so familiar—flew flapping to her, circled lightly, and then assembled beneath her feet into a winding magpie bridge.

As if possessed, Hairu lifted her skirt and stepped onto it.

She strolled through the boundless universe. She didn't know how long she had walked when she suddenly spotted another magpie bridge extending from the distance—

On the bridge, a figure was walking slowly toward her.

The man wore a blue, wide-sleeved robe. As the fabric fluttered, it moved like the deep sea. His handso features were exceptionally clear in the moonlight.

The mont their eyes t—

Thump—!

Her heart skipped a heavy beat. Her breathing slowed unconsciously, and a blush of heat suddenly rose in her cheeks, spreading all the way to the tips of her ears.

—It was the feeling of her heart fluttering!
