I so agree! This chapter got me really hype!!!!!!
This smile, THIS SMILE! It was so gentle, and a smile that I've only seen once when Alice and Erina were playing with each other as little kids a long time ago. It's important to note that the author chose to show a panel of Alice and Hisako reacting to Erina's smile, the girls closest to Erina. Their reaction is proof that Erina has changed and found happiness again thanks to Soma.
Putting my shipping feels aside, this was a marvelous chapter. Senzaemon knows that Erina is able to bring out 100% in every type of dish she makes, but nothing really stands out. She needs to go beyond 100% to create her specialty that is only possible through her God's tongue. However, as this chapter has made clear, she also needs to be willing to take a risk, which I don't think she has ever done before. I absolutely love the passion Erina was drawn with while she tried to create something in a short amount of time. Speaking of time, 10 minutes, seriously? To make it a bit more believable, it should have been at least 20 min if you asked me. It's hard for me to believe to create a complete new dish in such a short amount of time.
