Chapter 175: Dinner with Kikuchi Sonoka Part 2 (Final)

Ren nodded and began slicing into the Beef Wellington. As he cut, the perfectly cooked meat revealed itself—pink in the center, enveloped by a layer of pâté foie gras and mushroom duxelles, its aroma instantly wafting upward.
The puff pastry was flawlessly layered, crisp on the outside yet tender within.
Taking the first bite and chewing slowly, Ren felt a wave of pleasure flood his senses.
*FLASH!*
Suddenly, in his imagination, Ren was transported to an ancient European castle, where nobles reveled in lavish feasts, joyful dances accompanied each delectable bite, and boundless opulence reigned.
*FLASH!*
Snapping back to reality, Ren savored the moment. The tender wagyu melded with the savory foie gras and the earthy mushrooms, all wrapped in buttery, crisp puff pastry—a symphony of flavors dancing on his tongue.
"Truly remarkable, Sonoka-san. I’ve never tasted Beef Wellington this perfect." He murmured, closing his eyes to relish every layer of flavor.
Of course, such exquisite taste wouldn’t induce blissful illusions if Ren resisted with his willpower. But why reject something so delightful?
