Simultaneous travel: invincible from the beginning of the anime!

Chapter 396: Showdown, I am the user of the Seven Star Sword!
“Actually, while you were eating the ‘Three No-Sticks’, I had plenty of time to prepare another dish.

But the next dish is about freshness, so I'll wait until you've finished eating."

As Seiya spoke, he took out another roll of cloth from the kitchen. When the cloth was spread out, Nakiri Senzaemon and others present discovered that various types of kitchen knives were stuck in the interlayer of the cloth.

When he saw these knives of different shapes, Nakiri Senzaemon's face showed an expression of surprise.

Although he was not from the flower-growing and cooking world, given his identity and status in the culinary world, he had naturally heard of the rumors about the Seven-Star Knife.

So when he saw Seiya spreading out the cloth and looking at the knives flashing with cold light, Nakiri Senzaemon exclaimed in surprise: "Could these knives be..."

"That's right, this set of knives is called the Seven Star Knife, and I am also the inherited user of this set of knives."

Seiya actually hesitated about whether to use the Seven Star Sword to cook in front of Nakiri Senzaemon.

But soon, he came to his senses. Instead of hiding it all the time, it would be better to be open and honest, so that he wouldn't be caught eating with others in the future and he wouldn't even have a chance to explain himself.

The users of the Seven Star Knife are Ryan and Xiang En. Compared to Yi Zhang Qing Xiang En who has gone all the way to the dark, although Ryan was also a member of the dark culinary world in the beginning, he was whitewashed in the end.

However, the only descendant of Xiang En's lineage is his adoptive mother, and she is his only child, so he is both the descendant of Ryan and the descendant of Xiang En.

As far as Seiya knew, Ryan and Xiang En should even be considered enemies, and the fact that their stepfather and stepmother, who were their heirs and descendants, could actually get together was quite outrageous in Seiya's opinion.

Although Nakiri Senzaemon has a certain status and position in the culinary world, he is not a person from the flower-growing culinary world after all.

He may know something about the chef and the dark culinary world more than a hundred years ago, but certainly not much.

The Seven-Star Blade is useful to both Ryan and Xiang En, so as long as he uses it as Ryan's successor and does not use those techniques from the dark cooking world in front of outsiders, there should be no problem.

Rather than hiding it and getting discovered, it would be better to use Nakiri Senzaemon's identity and status to reveal to the outside world that Seiya is the successor of Rain and has no connection with Xiang En. This is Seiya's idea.

"Minezaki, could you please go get me some ice and pile it up into a small mountain?"

Seeing Seiya take out the Seven Star Sword, which he usually doesn't use, Minezaki knew that Seiya was serious this time, so he hurried to the refrigerator to get ice cubes.

While Minezaki went to get ice, Seiya directly fished out a red sea bream from the water tank in the store.

Seiya's shop didn't have equipment like oxygenated water tanks before, but as the business became prosperous, in order to provide better service to customers and ensure the freshness of the ingredients, Minezaki had already arranged the corresponding equipment for Seiya.

Considering that there were only four people including Nakiri Senzaemon, Seiya did not pick up the largest red sea bream in the tank.

However, upon noticing this, Senzaemon quickly revealed a look of dissatisfaction on his face and asked, "Are you planning on making sashimi? If so, why not choose the largest one?"

Are you trying to fool me, or do you think we can't afford top-notch sashimi?" Hearing the old man's rather dissatisfied words, Seiya was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "No, every ingredient in the store is carefully selected by me.

Every fish in this tank is the best of its kind in terms of fat content and meat density.

The reason I didn't choose the larger one was simply because I didn't want to waste food. After all, you guys just ate a lot of "Three-No-Stick" and there were two women present.

Seiya was not lying. His already excellent dynamic vision seemed to have evolved into a supernatural power like the "Eye of God" in this world.

No matter what kind of food it is, Seiya can intuitively see its grade and quality.

"Do you know why I'm called the 'Food Demon King'? It's because my desire and appetite for delicious food are as greedy and insatiable as a demon king's."

"That's right, it's just some sea bream sashimi, not something special, but it makes us feel like we can't afford it.

I caught the biggest one, the rest were too small. Who were I looking down on? If other guests saw it, they would think that my grandpa and I couldn’t afford it!
If we don’t have enough here, I’ll call someone to send over some bigger sea bream.”

Hearing Erina's arrogant tone, Seiya's mouth curled up slightly. Are you acting like a fool in front of him?
Very good, what he likes most is this kind of rich man... Oh no, it’s people who are rich and have good taste.

Originally, Seiya didn't want to kill Nakiri Senzaemon and the others, after all, they were the commander-in-chief of Totsuki and the heroine.

But Erina, this tsundere young lady, is too arrogant. When he asks Minezaki to settle the bill later, Seiya feels that it is unfair to her character if he doesn't count the three times... ten times the processing fee.

After returning the lively small sea bream to the water tank, Seiya reached out and picked up the largest sea bream in the water tank, muttering to himself, "This time, you deserve it..."

Just when Seiya fished out a one-meter-long red sea bream from the water tank, Minezaki finally pushed out the food cart that was built like a small iceberg.

The two most important aspects of preparing sashimi are the quality and freshness of the ingredients and the meticulous craftsmanship.

When the sea bream, which was over one meter long and weighed nearly 100 kilograms, was brought to the chopping board in front of Seiya, it was still alive and struggling.

Seeing such a huge sea bream struggling, Soma Yukihira and Minezaki wanted to step forward to help Seiya deal with it, but he stopped them with his hand.

A sea bream weighing 100 kilograms is enough to easily drag an adult into the water if it is in the sea.

And it is not an easy task to deal with such a big fish alone even if it is out of the water.

The tail fin of a sea bream weighing hundreds of pounds swings rapidly with incredible force. If you are not prepared and get hit by it, it is not impossible that your bones will break.

However, just when Erina wanted to see Seiya make a fool of himself, he had no idea that Seiya, who had refused the help of Soma Yukihira and Minezaki, looked at the sea bream struggling on the chopping board, and directly pulled out a thick-backed kitchen knife from the Seven Star Knife. With just one slap, the sea bream weighing over a hundred pounds suddenly stopped moving!
(To be honest, the author doesn’t know whether there are any sea bream weighing over 100 pounds, and whether any of them can be brought ashore alive.

But this is anime after all, so it's pointless to be too serious. Besides, in the later stages of this world, there may be fantasy ingredients such as gourmet captives mixed in (▽｀)
