The icy cool red bean soup, upon entering his throat, was expected to have the refreshing sweetness he'd imagined. But as the increasingly intense floral fragrance bloomed on his tongue, his expression changed, and his face was full of shock.
"This, this, is actually made with flower nectar?"
"Such a strong floral scent, what kind of flower nectar is this? I've never tasted it before."
He eagerly rummaged through the bowl, his eyes lit up, scooping up a few tiny flower buds.
Even though the red bean paste covered their original color and shape, the man accurately detected their presence.
"It's actually honey brewed from flowers? No wonder I felt like I was biting into something strange, turns out it's the flowers."
"Oh my god, Mr. Nakamura, you must try this jelly, it's really... incredibly amazing!"
Before he could recover from the shock of such a simple red bean soup, Hanama Ai grabbed his arm and started shaking it, her big, beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.
