When the lid of the food is finally removed, Lou, Roka, Charmy, Gordo and even Lemon suddenly become frightened.
Their face is so bad that you can't even consider it bad because they look like they discover their mortal enemy.
From the smell, Lou finally remembered where he heard this name, and the same as the description, the smell, smells legendary.
The Dodurian Bomb is a legendary ingredient that went extinct 300 years ago and is known as the world's stinkiest ingredient.
The Dodurian Bomb can only be eaten upon ripening and its stench is, at its worst, a consequence of it becoming tastier, the fouler its stench, the better it tastes.
When the Dodurian Bomb fully ripens, it falls from its branch and onto the ground where its shell breaks and releases a horrific odor.
The fruit cannot be approached during the ripening process while wearing protective gear against the stench as it will break apart and disappear.
This is because the fruit expects those who seek it to accept it for its stench and all, otherwise it will not approve of the seeker. However, even if the user is unguarded but clearly dislikes the odor, and as long as the seeker holds the feeling of wanting it in their heart, the fruit will not fade.
The fruit has the most powerful stench in the world and can be smelled over a hundred kilometers radius. Even close proximity to the fruit itself during the ripening process can cause clothing to rot and deteriorate.
The truest testament to its horrifyingly foul stench is that, upon ripening and breaking its shell open, it can release a devastating gaseous explosion that spreads beyond a hundred km radius and is capable of killing vegetation, waking hibernating animals, and killing fish in local seas. The stench itself can even be smelled by all the inhabitants of the Human World.
Right now, a small piece of fruit is placed upon themselves, just a finger size fruit already releasing a horrific smell.
Lou's bestial instinct is screaming, he wants to run but his feet are shaking from nervousness, he can already see that the metal plate is slowly dissolving, even his clothes are starting to dissolve.
While outside, the dome barrier is starting to crack just from the stench of the smell, the girls and all the viewers looking at them with pity and sadness as if they all sentence death.
Lou tries to push the food to Lemon but Lemon suddenly transforms back to Slime and hides in his pocket.
Lou can even feel that she is shaking from nervousness while peeking at him from the pocket.
He then looks at Roka who already fainted from the stench, Charmy also tries to eat it but before the food even comes inside of her mouth she already knocks out from the smell.
The only one who left is Lou and Gordon, Gordon grabbed the fruit slowly, opened his mouth and put it inside of it and slowly chewed it.
Lou can't help but to give him a huge thumbs up, this gloomy-looking guy can actually eat it.
Gordo who was expressionless said," Delicious... and this too smelly…."
He then slumps in the ground while his eyes turn white.
Lou inward thought,' What a great guy.'
He then graphs Roka's share and hurriedly puts it inside of his mouth, he then takes his portion and eats it. He wants to gulp it down but his stomach is pushing it out from his mouth.
Without any choice, Lou helplessly chews it hastily.
It's a strange combination of savory, sweet, and creamy all at once. With subtle hints of chives mixed with powdered sugar. Island after taste like diced garlic and caramel poured into whipped cream.
The taste is amazing and makes every cell of his body scream with delight, he even forgets the smell of it.
After a few minutes, Lou wins without a doubt while the other 3 awake from their eternal slumber, Lou helplessly looks at Roka who acts cute without any help.
This chick is unreliable, he can only helplessly eat all the things left for them.
The referee walks with another dish and from his pale face, Lou knows that this dish is going to be a dangerous one.
" Third Dish made by a beautiful, adorable and genius blacksmith from City D, the Wicked Lord's Chaotic Trance Dark Hot Pot!!"
"This name?" Lou cant help but to look at his home court and see Rikka's proud look and his guys are right, from just the name of the food, he already knows that the cook is a Chūnibyō.
When he opens the lid, what they see is hell, a literal hell, he can see bones, and dark matter all over the bowl.
He even sees some vague image of death itself coming from the soup, he can also hear Rika's cheering voice from far.
"Lou, you can do it, cherish the dish because this is my first time making a dish that can make you immortal!>"
"Really!!" Roka hurry asked.
"Yes," Rikka proudly replied.
Roka hurriedly grabbed the spoon and scooped a mouth full of soup, she then put it inside of her mouth without any second thought, and next?
" Emergency!! Find a priest, we have someone who is being possessed by the devil here!!"
"Help, someone has been hunted!!"
"What a poor girl, she died young."
Lou looks at Roka who was saved by countless medics and priests, and the cause of it? Just a spoonful of soup.
Charmy, Gordon, and Lou hurry forfeit, they don't want to die young like Roka, and as a result, all of them fail to eat.
And the game continues, from Hot Pot to Biscuit from Hell, Curry with literally Vitamins C, B, A ( Capsule and Tablet), Fried Egg with Violet Colored Aura, and many more.
Lou dont know how they even eat all of that, even Lemon did not eat after the Durian, Lou eats 2 portions of each disaster level food.
And in the end, Lou won with flying Colors, Lou slowly walked back with a proud face, Furuichi ran and excitedly said," Your manly Lou, you did it!"
Lou gives him a reassuring smile and thumbs up, then falls to the ground while breathing heavily, he is like a person who is about to die right now after what he did.
"H...E...L...P….ME...!!
