“Erina-sama, the competition will start in five minutes”
Erina simply nodded and when she saw the stick had left, she took a deep breath. In fact, few people know that he does not like to cook, but he needs to cook better than anyone.
“Erina, you are special because you have the God of Tongue from birth! You must bring a new life to this rotting culinary world! You can't waste your talent! You should polish your skills as hard as you can. as if trying to create art!”
The words his father had said during his childhood stuck in his mind like a nightmare.
Since her childhood, she grew up under the training of her hell-like father and her father also brainwashed her to instill that food should be tasty and perfect, otherwise it was just trash.
Although his father had been disowned and expelled from the Tootsuki Group, his father's education since childhood still greatly affected him.
The food should be delicious and perfect and if not then it is rubbish.
Even now, he still thinks so.
But the more she grew up, the more she felt like she was locked up, especially when she thought of her father, and made him feel a deep fear.
That was why he would rise to the top of the Tootsuki Group and escape from his father's cage.
“Nona Nakiri, you shouldn't be nervous, right?”
Just then, a slightly irritated voice sounded beside me.
The owner of this voice was a young man with a very mature appearance. He had a slick back hairstyle, a golden necklace, slender eyes like a viper, and a mocking facial expression that would make everyone hate him.
No one will get a good impression of him.
“Etsuya Eizan.
Erina spat out the name of the person from her mouth because she remembered this person wanted to put medicine to hurt her. He felt an uncontrollable anger in his heart.
However, he did nothing because he knew that he had no proof, and in the cooking competition, he would show him that his strength was above him.
Erina turned around and ignored him.
“This cold attitude is indeed worthy of Young Miss of Tootsuki Group.”
Eizan snorted and said, “I just hope you don't cry when you lose.” He sneered and did not intend to talk to her again. The winner of this match has been decided.
Back then, the staff came to tell them that it was time for the competition.
The competition venue is located in the banquet hall on the fifth floor of the hotel.
Compared to the ordinary hall on the second floor, the banquet hall on the fifth floor was made for the rich and powerful, and of course, the size of this place was not too large but rather quite simple.
However, the number of guests invited to attend this banquet was very appropriate.
The entire venue was designed in a semicircle, with the jury and MC standing on a straight-line stage, and the guest banquet spread out in an arc form on the edge of the hall.
The place where Erina and Eizan cooked their food was located in the middle.
Entering the hall, Erina's heart was quite strained, but suddenly, she surprisingly calmed down and started to think about what happened to Alice.
With Alice's personality, Haru was supposed to eat her food, right?
After eating his carcass, would he suffer a hellish torment in the toilet?
Erina wanted to laugh, but eventually, she shook her head.
‘Forget it, after all, we both come from different worlds.’.
Erina was sure she would never see him again in this life. (She may have forgotten that she has met him three times now).
At this moment, the hotel's MC also shouted to invite the judges to perform, and the five entered the stage from backstage in turn.
The second jury was Roland Chapelle who was one of the lecturers at the Totsuki Culinary Academy and the head of the French Cuisine Division. No wonder also if he was chosen as a jury because he has often been a judge in Shokugeki matches.
For the third and fourth, they were also famous celebrities in the restaurant industry.
Even without the introduction of the MCs, Erina also knew their names.
However, when the final judge appeared before his eyes, he paused for a moment…
At the same time, a slightly awkward introduction from the MC sounded in the hall:
“The fifth judge is a student, Kasugano Haruka.”
‘Kasugano Haruka!!!!!’
‘He's one of the judges?’
‘How could he?!’
Erina could not hide the shock on her face when she saw him walking towards the judge's seat.
At this moment, Haru also saw Erina.
The eyes of the two people met each other, and Erina felt her face heat up. He remembered the words he said earlier.
“Eat with gratitude! Perhaps it is the greatest glory of your life to be able to eat the food I made myself! You will not have such an opportunity in the future!”
“That's it for today! After all, from now on, we will be people from two different worlds! I am destined to reach the top of the moon and become a famous person, and you, stand below, and look at my glory!”
“I haven't flown the flag, asshole!? After all, we will never meet again!”
These words that he had said were less than half an hour before lingering in his ears.
She said that she would never meet him again, yet, she appeared in front of him now.
He said that he would never be able to eat his food in the future, but now he had to take the initiative to cook food for him.
He said in the future, that both of them would be two people from different worlds, and he was destined to see his glory, however, now he had become a judge who could determine his future.
‘That flag really happened!!!’
Erina's entire body began to tremble, and she felt extremely embarrassed. If this competition was not important, then he would immediately turn around and flee!
“It looks like you were quite surprised to see it.”
At this moment, Eizan walked beside Erina and whispered, “To be honest, when I heard that a student was going to be one of the judges in the competition, it really surprised me. I even wondered what the inviting organizer thought.he was, but that also led me to another conclusion...” He stopped and gave an evil smile.
“Well, how can a normal student give a professional review?”
“What do you mean?” Erina asked involuntarily.
“No.”
Eizan lowered his voice and said in a cold voice, “I just hope our Young Miss will know that the real match is not just about cooking after you lose this match.”
“You can't talk to each other before the game,” said the staff member.
“Sorry sorry..”.
Eizan grinned and put his hand in his pants pocket, turned his head, and glanced at Erina, then turned around.
Erina took a deep breath and ignored the thing Eizan told her because it was better to think of the match that was about to start!
