Alright Shila, that''s the end of our break, send me back to the 13th floor.


    Fine, but how do you intend to pass?


    I''ll embrace my trait.


    Huh?


    My trait has the supposed drawback of being more obsessed with my sister and clearly the extra will power is of not enough help right now, so if I just think about my sister and that I''m doing this for her, I should be able to get through right?


    That is the stupidest thing I''ve ever…


    Actually that might work, but only because of how unique you are, or well, your trait, this feels so stupid


    Whatever, you just admitted that it may work, so send me already.


    Fine.


    Shila sends Hilda back to the 13th floor, the trial of taste as Hilda walks back up to the table again, ignoring the notification.


    As she walks up, she closes her eyes and focuses on her sister completely, as she pours the whole packet of the power like substance into her mouth, preparing for the immense sweetness.


    As she closes her eyes, she feels an extreme bitterness compared to what she expected as she holds back her tears, determined not to spit it out or vomit as she swallows it completely.


    As she swallows it all, she covers my mouth with Shila coming over to help keep her mouth closed, struggling against the need to vomit out everything she ate in the memory despite none of it being real as she keeps on the floor, pressing her mouth closed with her knees against her hands to keep her mouth shut.


    After a couple more minutes suffering and holding back her tears, she eventually gets through, with the bitter taste still in her mouth but reduced to the point she won''t vomit out as she opens her eyes.


    As she opens her eyes, she wipes away her tears, and looks at the table, realising she opened the wrong packet, something she should of noticed earlier due to the taste if not for the fact that the very same taste was the only thing on her mind, not allowing her to think of other things.


    That was disgusting!


    Hilda, it''s your fault for eating the wrong one, how about getting rid of the taste?


    How?


    Suck on Jamine.


    What? Hilda physically pulls her ears open bigger, making sure she didn''t hear it wrong.


    I see a need to rephrase, okay, suck in a small part of her slimy body, just rip a good chunk out of her, she''s edible despite being acidic due to your stats and regeneration skill.


    Won''t it hurt her?


    Hilda runs over to Jamine who shakes her head, confusing Hilda.


    She doesn''t have pain receptors.


    Oh yea,I guess her original body is kind of just like a slimy thingThe tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.


    That''s one way to call it.


    Screw it, I''m not… sucking on Jamine, for a lack of better words.


    See? Even you don''t know how to phrase it better.


    Shut up.


    Rude.


    Shut up, I still have another 4 packets to suffer through.


    Oh yea, have fun?


    Shut up.


    Yes ma am.


    Hilda slowly gets back from the floor, the bitter taste still lingering strongly on her mouth as she goes back to the sweet packet as Shila stops her.


    What?


    I would suggest eating another packet first, preferably a disgusting one so it can help to reduce the sweet taste later with the sweet taste reducing the disgusting one too.


    Sure, but which one is the disgusting taste?


    Can''t tell, sorry.


    Great help you are.


    Hilda goes to the rightmost packet, and downs it in one go, not caring about her sister this time, realising that Shila was just lying to her just now, whether to encourage her or as a joke, she doesn''t know or have the time the time to find out as an extreme spice takes over her body, making her start sweating and grabbing Jamine''s hand and tearing it off into our in her mouth as tears stream down her face, unable to hold them back this time.


    This isn''t even hard to keep in my mouth! It''s just a terrible feeling!


    Hilda puts the portion of Jamine’s hand into her mouth, with it turning back to a transparent greenish due to not being a part of Jamine''s body anymore as she feels a stinging feeling, caused by the acidity of Jamine''s body and a oddly tasteless yet not so tasteless taste, similar to plain water.


    Hilda eventually gets through the spice, wiping away the sweat and tears from her body, using the piece of Jamine she took to wipe herself off, making Jamine glare at her.


    Sorry, but I''m kind of suffering here, also shouldn''t your acidity but much more?


    Her acidity was reduced by a lot since you tore it off.


    Oh, if she was still completely acidic what would have happened?


    You would be missing your jaw and tongue right now.


    Ok… now something I want to experience.


    Hilda goes to the remaining three packets, with the leftmost being sweet and the remaining two being unknown.


    I''ll just go for the sweetness last.


    Hilda takes another random one and eats it all, feeling an extreme saltiness followed by dehydration as she tries to swallow but finds it much harder due to the salt sticking to her tongue with the bits that went down, causing her throat to feel extremely salty too.


    This isn''t hard to swallow, but it feels worse than the spice!!!!


    Hilda bites the salt, trying to get it to go down easier, only for the taste to intensify as. She decides to just wait for it to dissolve, with it being faster than normal due to small parts of Jamine''s acidic parts still in her mouth, dissolving the salt that comes in contact with it instantly.


    A few minutes later, the salt finishes dissolving, leaving Hilda lying down in the floor once again, wishing she had even a drop of water as she goes and eats the next packet immediately, hoping to get rid of the lingering saltiness even by a bit as she consumes it, feeling a sense of disgust immediately, nearly vomiting it out as she eats the packet filled with sweet tasting powder to help try to mitigate the disgust, with the sweetness making it worse but also helping.


    As she nearly vomits it out, she shouts for Jamine to help as Jamine goes over to Hilda and shuts her mouth up by forcing it close by morphing her arm into a mask to keep her mouth closed while focusing on trying to reduce the acidity so Hilda doesn''t end up with a jaw and tongue lesser than others.


    Hilda keeps holding it in, tears streaming down her face due to the combination of the severe, disgusting and sweet taste all while trying to hold in vomiting.


    A couple minutes later, she lies on the floor, ignoring the clear message as she levels up another 5 times while panting on the floor.


    Shila… can you get me some water now?


    Sure…


    Shila uses the food box and pulls out a bottle of plain cold water and passes it to Shila who downs it immediately, asking for another as Shila provides.


    Hey Hilda.


    Yes? Hilda replies, no longer panting as much and sitting up now.


    Your… gonna have stomach problems later.


    I won''t be surprised.


    So small talk, which was the worst?


    Spice.


    Huh? I''d thought it was the one which was made specifically to just be disgusting.


    No, my spice tolerance is so bad that even pepper feels kinda spicy.


    Ah.


    Worse thing is, I like spicy food, but my spice tolerance makes it near impossible to eat spicy food.


    What a shame, food is one of the many joys in life.


    I agree, could you send us back to the inn?


    Yea, sure.


    Hilda laughs slightly, not due to joy but because she thinks back to how much she suffered due to mere heavy tastes just a while ago and how ironic it is that monsters that can kill thousands of people on earth before the military can even react is less of a problem compared to severe tastes.


    What a goddamn joke…
