Simultaneous travel: invincible from the beginning of the anime!

Chapter 423: The Dishes That Overshadow the Guests

"God damn it, chastity is on the line! That's a fight where we're putting our integrity on the line... Ugh, it's a fight where we're putting our faith on the line.

If I lose, I will be expelled from Totsuki Academy, and if that meaty loses, he will join the Rice Bowl Research Club."

"I see, this is a food battle where the beautiful girl's freedom is at stake?

So after that beautiful girl named Rou Mei joins the Rice Bowl Research Club, will you force her to do anything strange?"

Hearing Seiya's words, a row of black lines instantly appeared on Yukihira Soma's forehead, and he looked at him unhappily and said, "I'm telling you, don't listen to their nonsense!
You just met Sakaki-san and Yoshino-san today, right? Why have you picked up their bad habits?

I don't have any weird thoughts about that meaty girl, and I'm not a member of the "Rice Bowl Research Club". The reason I'm fighting on their behalf is simply because I'm unhappy with what that woman Erina is doing!

"You act so high and mighty, and you categorize food into different levels. As long as food brings happiness to people, it's good food, right? Why are there so many distinctions?"

The reason why Soma Yukihira doesn't like Minezaki is because she looked like Erina now.

Even Erina Nakiri's behavior was even more overbearing and unreasonable.

How can a guy who wantonly tramples on other people's culinary dreams be qualified to call himself a chef!

"I understand, your target is not that meaty girl, but that Miss Erina?
I have to say, excluding her tsundere personality, Miss Erina is indeed quite good."

"So didn't I say that? I don't..."

"I understand, I understand. You can't stand what she did. She trampled on other people's passion and dreams for cooking, right?
It's the standard protagonist dialogue and template, but according to the general plot routine, enemies like you might end up together in the end."

Soma Yukihira was too lazy to explain anything. He had realized that Seiya was just making fun of him.

He and Erina would become a couple? This is simply a joke! When he thought of the other party's arrogant look, Yukihira Soma couldn't help but feel a chill at the thought that his future partner would be like this.

If there is really no choice, even if Soma Yukihira is gay, he will never choose that kind of tsundere young lady!

"This is a rare opportunity. You've brought the ingredients I need this time. Why don't you try the rice bowl I made?"

Soma Yukihira always says that Seiya is introverted, but in fact, this guy is the most introverted one.

Every time he lost a competition with him or Yukihira Seiichiro, this guy would hide in the kitchen and try again and again.

Now that Seiya, the food inspector, has arrived and the good ingredients are already available, how could he not be itching to try it?

So, in just thirty minutes, a steaming hot "Chaliapin Steak Rice Bowl" was placed on the table in front of Seiya.

"Chaliapin steak is said to have originated from a singer named Chaliapin who suffered from toothache. In order to satisfy his desire for tender steak, Chaliapin steak was created."

Seiya is good at cooking the flowers in his home, but as he said before, in order to be invincible, he also has some knowledge of cooking in other regions.

When he saw the rice bowl served by Soma Yukihira, Seiya explained the origin of this dish in detail. After picking up a piece of golden fried steak from the bowl with chopsticks and putting it into his mouth, Seiya slowly closed his eyes and savored the taste.

“The steak tastes really good, the outside is crispy and delicious, the meat underneath the golden leather is tender and juicy, and it also exudes a special aroma.

When you are processing steak, you should coat it with chopped onions and use them to make sauce to pour on it at the end. This improved "Chaliapin steak rice" is indeed unique in flavor.

but……"

Seeing that Seiya could tell how he had prepared the steak in just one bite and gave it a good review, Soma Yukihira just smiled, but was interrupted by Seiya's sudden "but".

No, this guy is panting when he speaks like that! What's the but? Why don't you just say it! "

Seiya first picked up another piece of steak from the bowl, then looked at the rice in the bowl. He couldn't help but look at Soma Yukihira and said, "But... have you forgotten the meaning of rice bowl?"

"What do you mean? Is there something wrong with how I handled the steak?"

Hearing Yukihira Soma's question with a puzzled look on his face, Seiya sighed and shook his head, saying, "What I mean is, are you too obsessed with the victory over the meat demon, so you have forgotten the priority?

The theme of your food battle this time is to decide the winner based on "rice bowls with meat as the main ingredient", right?

In other words, the meat ingredients used in rice bowls are not limited to beef, other meats can also be used.

The reason why I chose beef is simply because Mito Meat, the meat-loving family's "Mito Meat Products", can provide high-quality beef, so you want to beat her in her best field, right?"

Faced with his childhood friend who exposed his thoughts, Soma Yukihira did not deny it. After all, Soma Yukihira has been strong all his life. The first time he lost to Seiya, he was able to cook seafood fried rice for several days in a row. What's the big deal about something like this?

"If you want to win, you naturally have to convince the other party. So, what does this have to do with what you just said?"

Seeing that Yukihira Soma hadn't reacted yet, Seiya tapped the rice in front of him with his chopsticks and said, "This is a big deal. You have to understand that what you are competing for now is not steak dishes, but rice dishes with meat as the main ingredient!

The existence of steak is just to make the rice bowl more delicious, instead of just considering the issue of steak and ignoring the original meaning of rice bowl.

Fortunately, you are not a member of the Rice Bowl Research Society, otherwise if I were the president, I would kick you out of the society immediately.

In your eyes, does rice bowl refer to the steak on top? If so, wouldn't it be better to just eat the steak directly? What's the point of rice? "

Seiya's words struck Soma Yukihira like he was struck by lightning and he stood there in a daze.

Because he was unable to refute what Seiya said, and looked at his hands in annoyance. As a chef, he was too obsessed with deciding the winner in the meat duel and actually forgot the meaning of the food itself.

"To put it simply, you were so obsessed with the taste of the steak that it became a bit of a distraction.

The rice itself is no longer worthy of the steak on top, which makes it difficult for customers to swallow the rice after eating the steak.
