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

Although these names all seem a bit odd, it's undeniable that from a reader's perspective, the first thing you notice about the book titles is...

It actually seems pretty good, I want to watch it!

only--

Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned slightly: "Why do they all have to include the words 'Chinese cuisine' in their names?"

Lin Youshu replied lazily, "Because I studied Chinese cuisine, and my dream is to promote Chinese culinary culture. The main theme of the novel is naturally this. Wasn't it said that it was based on me?"

"I'll ask the editor for their opinion later; compared to her, she's the more professional one."

Kasumigaoka Utaha put the paper away, her attitude becoming much more serious.

The other party immediately presented five decent book titles for us to choose from. Whether it was just a lucky guess or they actually had some merit, at least they succeeded.

……

She took out a pen and notebook: "What about the character design and plot?"

Lin Youshu took a sip of tea: "My idea is that although the story is based on my own experiences, art originates from reality but should also transcend it. In addition to making the character as handsome as possible, we might as well use some exaggeration in the plot to better attract readers."

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at her with disdain; this guy's skin was surprisingly thick.

Trying to recreate the handsome look is okay, pshaw!

He immediately said expressionlessly, "Your experience is more exaggerated than many novels describe."

Lin Youshu: "..."

0 ············ ·

That seems to be true.

Embarrassed.

But it’s not a big problem!

In terms of plot, all he can do is recount his experiences with food battles and competitions since he started learning to cook, so that Kasumigaoka Utaha can have a clearer understanding and knowledge of the culinary world.

You can't write a cooking novel and still make a lot of mistakes, can you?

Of course, it's essential to fabricate a mysterious background and master for yourself.

"In short, after the protagonist mastered his skills, he went down the mountain to gain experience, just as his master had instructed."

Lin Youshu's mouth was dry from talking, so he drank a large glass of water.

It feels like I accidentally copied the opening of an old online novel, like "The School Beauty's Personal Bodyguard," isn't that the same old formula for starting a story?

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha listened intently, occasionally taking notes.

.... ... 0

Then she asked, "Are there any requirements regarding the love line?"

Lin Youshu hesitated for two seconds before resolutely refusing: "Let's forget about feelings. Women will only slow me down when I'm chopping vegetables. I'll just focus on the classic, action-packed leveling-up story."

"hehe."

Kasumigaoka Utaha tugged at the corner of her beak, her gaze meaningful.

Lin Youshu felt offended and was very unhappy: "What do you mean?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha pouted: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have believed it."

Lin Youshu retorted irritably, "I told you, I didn't! I'm just a regular classmate with them!"

"Mmm, okay? I believe you."

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded perfunctorily: "I think we should still set it up, just for the sake of the plot. Although it's based on you, we can't completely copy your real-life experiences."

"Generally speaking, the main characters are usually in groups of three or five. The female lead can choose from teammates, allies, and rivals, and can keep the relationships private, only having feelings for the main character. Readers should be happy to see this."

"So you're into stocks, right?"

Lin Youshu seemed to be deep in thought.

"Stock trading? Hmm, more or less."

Kasumigaoka Utaha was slightly taken aback, finding this statement quite interesting.

Lin Youshu said with some concern, "But please don't write it as a romance light novel. The main theme of this book is still cooking. It revolves around a series of people and events related to cooking that happen to the protagonist. It can be lighthearted and funny, or it can be youthful and passionate. To be honest, I doubt whether you can write it well."

Kasumigaoka Utaha snapped impatiently, "Enough talk! You'll see when the time comes!"

(I'm having some writer's block, let me sort it out~) Evening.

Chapter 84 Hisako Shinto's Stalking Report

Lin Youshu and Kasumigaoka Shiwa discussed for two whole hours before finalizing the basic content of the novel.

Of course, these are all initial settings, and it's hard to say whether they will be used later.

Let's see how Kasumigaoka Utaha writes it.

That's enough for today. It's time for lunch.

The senior student stretched, revealing her stunning curves.

Lin Youshu glanced at her casually, then looked back at his senior, only to find her looking at him with a half-smile.

He immediately felt guilty.

I originally wanted to scold her, but she was too big.jpg

Those who know, know.

Lin Youshu nodded perfunctorily: "Okay, that's enough for now. I have to go home and cook, so I won't eat with you. We can talk again next time."

Hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha was furious.

Who is it?

So many guys want to have dinner with her but never get the chance, and this guy actually refused?

hateful!

Ha, you might be willing, but I'm not!

She immediately straightened her face and said, "No need. I don't want to eat with a strange man; it'll ruin my appetite!"

Lin Youshu: "..."

Strangers are fine, but it's even worse if they affect your appetite.

We were having a really good chat just now.

Is this a woman?

How fickle!

……

Something interesting happened when I went to pay the bill.

The coffee shop owner stared at Lin Youshu for a few seconds, then asked excitedly, "You are... the champion of the cooking competition that was broadcast on TV yesterday? Your name is Lin Youshu, right?"

Lin Youshu was embarrassed: "Uh, it's me..."

I never expected that I would be recognized.

Am I very well-known now?

He's not some big star...

The boss clapped his hands and laughed, "I knew I wasn't wrong! I was watching the live stream yesterday, and the dish you made was truly amazing! How did you do it?"

"Um, could you please pay the bill first?"

Lin Youshu suppressed the urge to cover his face and run away.

Honestly, it feels embarrassing to be recognized in public.

Kasumigaoka Utaha watched from the side with a half-smile.

However, the boss wasn't going to let him off so easily: "Are you really going to refuse the eldest daughter of the Nakiri family? That's a dowry of one trillion yen! And she's clearly very beautiful..."

At this point, the boss glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha beside him, paused for two seconds, then his expression suddenly changed, and he said with a smile, "No wonder, I understand now~"

This time it was Kasumigaoka Utaha's turn to feel uncomfortable, and she quickly clarified: "You've misunderstood, we're just ordinary classmates."

"It's okay, I understand."

The coffee shop owner still had a smile on his face, with an expression that said, "I know everything, but I won't say anything."

Kasumigaoka Utaha remained silent.

I experienced firsthand what it means to be a spectator who gets caught in the crossfire.

……

Having finally escaped the nagging coffee shop owner, Hayashi Yuuki said goodbye to Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had a displeased expression, and headed straight for the station.

but,

What he didn't know was that there was actually a sneaky little tail following him all along.

The two remained within 100 meters of each other throughout.

Hisako Shinto's mission from Erina Nakiri is to keep a close eye on Yuuki Hayashi and gather all information related to him.

however!

Hisako Niito, a chef by training, had not received any systematic training in information gathering and knew nothing about Yuuki Hayashi. So, she could only use the most basic method: follow him around and slowly record his observations.

From the moment he left his house, to his meeting with Kasumigaoka Utaha at the coffee shop, and then to his departure, Hisako recorded every single detail.

"9:30, target to leave."

"At 9:55, the target arrives at Smmertime coffee shop and is having an intimate conversation with a young and beautiful woman. The nature of their relationship is questionable. The content of their conversation is unclear."

"12:10, target: leave the coffee shop."

"At 12:20, the goal is to exit the subway station and enter the nearby FamilyMart supermarket."

"We purchased black-boned chicken, beef tenderloin, spare ribs, cured pork, bok choy, garlic sprouts, matsutake mushrooms, and Luochuan candied apples from supermarkets and shopping malls."
