Crossover Anime: Starting with a Fusion of Master Chef, a Top-Tier Master Chef

Page 19

His "cohabitation life" with Touma has quietly begun.

Before leaving for school during the day.

He would prepare breakfast and lunch for both of them and bring them to school in insulated lunchboxes.

I really don't want to eat cold food.

I would bring some pickled mustard greens every few days, and then as I did it more often, it gradually became once every other day.

Touma was initially puzzled, but after finding out the truth, although she didn't say anything, she felt a little strange inside.

This feeling... is hard to describe!

It seems alright, though.

Of course, at school, she would still keep her distance from Lin Youshu on the surface, at most being slightly closer to him than to others.

Yukina had also asked out of curiosity, so Hayashi Yuuki told her that Touma had developed anorexia, selectively omitting the fact that Touma was living in his house.

As for when it will be exposed and what the consequences will be...

We'll talk about it later!

More than a week passed, and the balance seemed to be maintained. Lin Youshu could finally put down the heavy weight in his heart.

The biggest change is that Setsuna's contact with him has become more frequent.

"Lin-kun, will there be a delicious bento box tomorrow?"

"Lin Jun, I don't want to eat Mom's cooking anymore."

"Lin Jun, have you finished your homework today?"

"Jun Lin..."

Lin Youshu felt awkward at first, but then he thought that since they were all classmates, it was only right to help each other.

At worst, they'll all be my wings...

Cough!

As the saying goes, a scoundrel's thought can instantly open up a whole new world!

Lin Youshu understood!

(Posting a long chapter. Woke up too early this morning, going to catch up on some sleep. Thank you everyone for the monthly tickets, flowers, and review votes, thank you so much! By the way, is there any more?) *

Chapter Twenty: Any condition is acceptable as long as you agree! (Please add to your favorites, give flowers, comment, and rating!)

There was one last class left in the afternoon.

"Lin Jun, could you wait for me after school?"

Xuecai walked over and said to Lin Youshu.

Lin Youshu, who was resting his chin on his right hand and looking out the window, turned around upon hearing this and blinked: "Sure, but could you tell me what it is?"

Setsuna smiled mischievously: "I'll keep it a secret for now, you'll find out after school anyway."

"alright."

Lin Youshu chuckled to himself.

Why are you being so mysterious? Could it be that a beautiful girl confessed her feelings to you or something?

To be honest, just thinking about it makes me a little excited.

After Setsuna turned back to her seat, he glanced at Touma, who was slumped over the table next to him, looking out of place with the others, and took out his phone to send her a message: "Go home by yourself after school."

Tsk, it's like a secret rendezvous between spies.

I received a reply shortly after sending the message.

One word: "Mmm".

That's really concise.

At school, Touma would try to keep her distance from him as much as possible. She would only talk to him when they were outside the school gates or on the train, when there were no other students around.

Lin Youshu could understand her thoughts.

To put it bluntly, they don't want to be noticed and just want to live quietly in their own world.

……

After school in the afternoon.

After all the classmates had left, Setsuna sat down in front of Hayashi Yuuki, staring at him intently with her clear, bright eyes.

"Lin-kun, the cultural festival is on the 25th of this month."

Lin Youshu was slightly taken aback.

It seems... there is such a thing.

It is well known that schools in Japan love to hold cultural festivals and school festivals, which are often depicted in cultural works such as anime, movies, and light novels.

The specific times are arranged by each school, but they are generally concentrated in a certain period of time.

For example, the cultural festival is usually in early June, while the school festival is in early November.

This year's cultural festival at Fengcheng University Affiliated School is scheduled for three days, May 5-2527, earlier than that of most schools.

The content is nothing more than eating, drinking, and having fun.

From clubs to classes to schools, all sorts of activities are designed to attract visiting students, parents, and tourists, thereby boosting spending and generating revenue.

It can be considered a form of extracurricular activity by the school to encourage students to improve their hands-on and performance skills.

but--

Lin Youshu wanted to ask: "What does this have to do with you asking me to stay?"

"Of course it does matter!"

Xuecai smiled and said, "Every class has to choose a theme for their activities, and our class is no exception."

"Then let's choose!"

Lin Youshu was puzzled.

Yukina said hesitantly, "I'm the class monitor, and I asked the other students for their opinions on this matter privately. Everyone suggested that I take charge of the food and recommended you to be in charge."

Upon hearing this, Lin Youshu immediately became displeased: "Why should I?"

This is blatant forced labor!

He couldn't care less about such trivial matters!

Given his lazy personality, is he the kind of person who would be willing to work hard and help others voluntarily?

Dreaming!

Go find whoever you want, I'm not doing it!

"Because you cook well!"

Setsuna said earnestly, "Your reputation as a culinary genius has already spread far and wide. Everyone is still craving your curry and fried rice, and students from other classes want to try them too. If we make Lin-kun's cooking the signature dish for the cultural festival, it's sure to be a huge success!"

Lin Youshu said irritably, "The problem is, this money isn't going to be earned for me, so why should I work for free?"

"You can't say that. We're all classmates, aren't we?"

"There are so many classmates in that class, why didn't you ask them for help? Doesn't anyone know how to cook?"

"Their cooking is not good."

Setsuna patiently persuaded, her expression gradually becoming pitiful: "I know this will put you in a difficult position, so I'm just discussing it with you."

"I do not want!"

"Please think about it, Lin Jun, I'm begging you."

"..."

Just as Lin Youshu was about to firmly refuse, a mission prompt suddenly rang in his ears.

"Ding! Mission: Dominate the Campus Cultural Festival!"

"Choose option 1: Refuse Setsuna's request and do not participate. Reward: A Lamborghini coupon."

"Option 2: Accept Setsuna's request, don your armor and go into battle, conquer customers with your cooking, and sweep through Mineki University Affiliated School! Rewards: 800 experience points, 10 times the revenue in cash, and the special item Seven Star Knife Set. Seven Star Knife: Sharpness +10, Knife Skill +10."

Well, another task has appeared.

Moreover, judging by the reward, I have no choice but to take this job; I can't refuse.

800 experience points is not a small amount, but what is surprising is that the monetary reward this time is not given as a specific number, but rather as 10 times the turnover.

This is very interesting.

Then there's the knife set.

He just happened to be missing a set of professional, specialized knives!

It's unreasonable for a top-level chef not to have a decent kitchen knife. This time, the mission will give him a set of seven.

I'm definitely tempted.

However, while it's a system task, Yuuki Lin can't directly agree to Yukina's request.

Otherwise, wouldn't that make me seem too easy to talk to?

So I'll refuse for now.

……

"Ugh! This is hard work. Let's ask other responsible and honorable classmates for help. I just want to slack off."

Lin Youshu pretended to hesitate, then ruthlessly rejected the request.

"Lin Jun, please help me. I really can't do without you."
