The Top Idol Next Door Can't Help But Crave My Guilty Pleasure Meals-Chapter 2Volume 1 .3 - Suzufumi, Lets Quickly Forget About it
ROUND 2 – Suzufumi, Let’s Quickly Forget About it 3
With the ‘Ding’ sound signaling completion, I opened the oven toaster, and the aroma was instantly released.
I couldn’t help but gulp.
I set a trivet on the table and placed the piping hot dish on it.
As if in a final act of resistance, Yuzuki closed her eyes once more.
“Now, take a look with your own eyes?”
I whispered in her ear, and Yuzuki trembled.
Then, she opened her eyes with trepidation——
“Eeeek…”
The red and white sauce bubbled.
The cheeses adorned with just the right amount of char danced on the place.
No one could resist the golden-brown-colored smiles they offered.
The Milanese Doria is a dish that is completed by baking.
Cooking is something to be enjoyed not just with the taste buds but with all five senses.
I gently inserted a spoon into the Doria. A light, crisp sound softly touched my eardrums.
I scooped up the contents and then placed the silver spoon into Yuzuki’s hand.
“Come on, open your mouth.”
“N-no, I don’t want to…”
Yuzuki stretched her arm to the limit, desperately trying to keep the tip of the spoon away, but the fact that she didn’t let go of the spoon meant that she had already given in instinctively.
“The longer you wait, the harder the cheese gets, and it loses its flavor, you know? The Doria is at its most appealing when it’s freshly made.”
“I don’t… want it…”
“Then let me ask you, why are you pursing your lips? It’s as if you’re about to blow on something hot.”
“Ugh…!”
Yuzuki’s ears turned as red as a meat sauce with embarrassment.
“I know. It’s like your body is reacting on its own in front of a piping hot dish. In other words, Yuzuki’s mouth is craving for the Doria.”
“…That’s”
“Let’s take care of your body. You see, this isn’t just a meal. Right, it’s a kind of body care. Just like a face pack after a bath or stretching.”
“R-really… But…”
Her voice is losing its strength, wavering unsteadily.
Now that it’s come this far, just one more push is needed.
I utter the finishing blow.
“I’ve specially increased the amount of cheese than usual for you.”

“~~♥”
The hand gripping the spoon suddenly tightens.
Yuzuki finally cools the surface of the Doria with a gentle blow, then carries the spoon to the fountain of taste.
The moment it entered her mouth, her until-now vacant eyes suddenly lit up.
“——A milky yet sharp white béchamel sauce, tangy tomatoes, beef rich with umami, all gently supported by the saffron rice… Above all, the cheese, whose presence has expanded manifold by being baked…♥”
Her eyes widen even further, and the spoon eagerly seeks the next bite.
“In my mouth, flavors, sounds, and scents unfold one after another, it’s like experiencing a musical…♥”
Yuzuki, the active idol, explains the allure of the Doria from an entertainment perspective.
When I place two types of premium items at the corner of the table, they are instantly snatched away from the side.
One is powdered cheese.
Yuzuki scatters a flurry of powdery snow over the now gooey sauce-covered natural cheese.
The other is chili pepper sauce.
With each shake of the small bottle by Yuzuki, the bright red sauce decorates the canvas.
“The strong meat sauce is mellowed out by the powdered cheese♥ Sprinkling it a second time after a delay, the melted and fluffy textures combine, making it a joy to experience different textures♥ The chili pepper sauce adds a spicy edge to the mellowed Doria, keeping it interesting and enjoyable to eat forever~♥”
I thought the same yesterday, but Yuzuki becomes talkative during meals.
Perhaps it’s a backlash from usually suppressing her appetite.
Maybe she’s more suited to be a food critic than an idol?
“Saffron rice feels kind of special, doesn’t it? Maybe it’s what they call a ‘feast sensation’? I also love the parts that get crispy because of the toaster♥”
With her hand on her cheek, Yuzuki narrows her eyes in bliss.
Oops, I was so mesmerized watching her that I completely forgot to serve the side dish.
“I got some popcorn shrimp too, wanna eat it?”
“Eat!”
An immediate response. She opens her mouth wide and enjoys them as if they were snacks.
“It’s so light on the mouth, and it disappears in your mouth so quickly that I can’t stop moving my fork♥ The combination with the sweet Aurora sauce is addictive…♥ Hmm, what about this orange sauce over here?”
“It’s an original carrot sauce made with carrots I received as a gift. It’s seasoned with sugar, salt, and olive oil. It’s one of those sauces you can actually eat but with a slight texture that’s still there.”
“Mmm, the crisp texture is interesting. I might get hooked on this sauce too♥”
The mountain of popcorn shrimp dwindled rapidly.
It kind of felt like feeding a pet.
