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

No time to think too much.

Nakiri Munee adjusted his glasses: "I think I just heard your comment that you weren't very satisfied with the dishes at Suiryugin, is that right?"

Lin Youshu blinked: "I can only say that it's a bit different from what I expected."

A glint flashed in Nakiri Munee's eyes: "I was quite surprised when my sister, Nakiri Managi, said she wanted to give this shop to you. Although I know my objections probably won't change her mind, I still want to see for myself the true strength of a tournament champion with perfect scores in four rounds!"

Chapter 87 Alice Nakiri's Food War Challenge!

"Is this considered an assessment?"

Lin Youshu did not respond directly, but asked a question instead.

Nakiri Souei's expression remained unchanged: "You can understand it this way: no matter what the outcome, it won't affect your joining Nakiri International and taking over this store!"

Say so.

However, it is clear that if Hayashi Yuuki's cooking skills do not satisfy Nakiri Munee, he will not be able to gain his approval even if he takes over the restaurant.

Of course, Lin Youshu didn't really care about his approval.

but……

It's always unpleasant to feel looked down upon.

Before Hayashi Yuuki could speak, Nakiri Managi responded first.

“Brother, I think that arguing with such a little kid like this only makes you seem petty. Besides, there’s no need to humiliate yourself, really.”

"..."

These words deeply hurt Nakiri Sōe.

His own sister would rather help a stranger than help him.

Even if you really want him to be your son-in-law, is there any need to be in such a hurry?

……

"can!"

Lin Youshu smiled and said, "I came here mainly to experience the culinary skills of this restaurant and to cook for Nakiri Managi-san. Making an extra dish won't make much difference to me. So, shall we begin?"

Nakiri Munee was somewhat surprised by his confidence.

I was just about to say something when 413

Suddenly a voice came from behind.

"Oh wow~ How could I miss out on something this interesting!"

A beautiful girl with silver hair, red eyes, and fair skin walked in from outside, exuding a powerful aura.

First, call Nakiri Munee "Dad," and then call Nakiri Managi "Auntie."

Finally, he looked at Lin Youshu and asked, "You're the Lin Youshu who won the cooking championship with four perfect scores?"

Lin Youshu was only slightly taken aback before nodding: "Yes, I am Lin Youshu."

If I remember correctly, the silver-haired beauty with a queenly aura in front of me should be Alice Nakiri, the daughter of Souei Nakiri, the cousin of Erina Nakiri, and known as the "Child of God of Molecular Gastronomy".

They're also characters from Food Wars!

They're both culinary geniuses!

He was also once considered one of the students in Totsuki Academy who was closest to the Elite Ten!

Her specialty is molecular gastronomy.

Molecular gastronomy is a culinary art that uses scientific methods to explain all cooking techniques and results, and employs precise digital control. It takes a microscopic approach to food, using modern scientific theories such as physics, chemistry, and biology to establish a theory of gastronomy and cuisine.

Alice Nakiri, who can be called the prodigy of molecular gastronomy, is certainly no ordinary person.

When she was nine years old, she had already dominated the most prestigious international competition in the field of molecular gastronomy held in Northern Europe. By the age of ten, she had obtained forty-five patents and signed contracts with as many as twenty restaurants and recipe research associations!

Judging solely from awards, he is far superior to Lin Youshu.

Perhaps due to her mixed heritage and growing up abroad, Alice is undoubtedly much more approachable than Erina, who is arrogant.

Of course, this is only relatively speaking.

Both being heiresses of the Nakiri family, she comes from a privileged background, making her a completely different person from a commoner like Hayashi Yuuki.

……

"very good!"

Alice Nakiri nodded, her eyes filled with barely concealed excitement as she looked at Yuuki Hayashi: "I am Alice Nakiri, and as a student of Totsuki Academy, I challenge you to a food battle. Do you dare accept my challenge?"

Lin Youshu froze and looked at Nakiri Munee.

The serious expression on Nakiri Sōe's face now showed a hint of helplessness.

His eyes were full of affection: "Alice, stop fooling around!"

"Dad, I'm not being silly!"

Alice protested, "What's wrong with a chef challenging a strong person? Isn't there a Japanese proverb that says geniuses and cigarettes both like to climb higher?"

He paused, then looked at Lin Youshu: "Although I don't think a mere culinary tournament championship is anything special, not to mention regional championships, I have quite a few international championships. However, since you were able to defeat Erina, it means you have some skill. So it's not shameful for me to challenge you."

"How's it going? Have you thought about it?"

Seeing Lin Youshu's hesitant expression, she couldn't help but tease, "Could it be that you're afraid your Chinese cuisine will lose to mine?"

"Ding! Mission: Defend the honor of Chinese cuisine!"

Lin Youshu frowned slightly, and was about to speak when a system notification suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Option 1: Reject. Show no interest in molecular gastronomy (Aici) and acknowledge that you are inferior to the other party. Reward: None."

"Option 2, Accept. Defeat Alice Nakiri, teach her a lesson she'll never forget, and incidentally make Souei Nakiri submit! Mission successful, reward 700 points, 700 million yen in cash, special item: Chinese Grand Chef Medal. Chinese Grand Chef Medal, Confidence +10, Endurance +10."

Alright, now I have a reason to accept the food battle!

Chef's Medal?

These dual attribute bonuses are unprecedented, and they apply to characters rather than the dishes, which is quite amazing.

……

Nakiri Managi suddenly laughed and said, "Since Alice says so, why don't you play along with her?"

"Managi?!"

Nakiri Sōe frowned slightly at her instigating behavior.

Nakiri Managi waved her hand and said with a smile, "Relax, I think Alice is right. Geniuses should strive to climb higher, even if they encounter various setbacks along the way. Besides, her mentality is much better than Erina's."

Lin Youshu snapped out of his daze and chuckled, "Sure, I have no objection. How would you like to compete?"

Alice Nakiri beamed with delight: "Of course, we should each bring out our best dishes! I don't mind if you make those perfect dishes you made in the competition again, I have plenty of time!"

"No need, it's not like I can't cook other dishes."

Lin Youshu waved his hand: "But since it's a competition, there should be some kind of prize, right? If I lose, I'll never set foot in this shop again. What about you?"

Nakiri Managi frowned, about to say something, but was stopped by Hayashi Yuuki's outstretched hand.

Alice Nakiri raised an eyebrow: "If I lose, I'll be your assistant for free for a year after I graduate. How about it?"

puff……

Lin Youshu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Alice Nakiri's eyebrows immediately shot up.

Lin Youshu suppressed a laugh: "Sorry, there are quite a few people who want to be my assistant. I think this is more like a reward than a punishment."

Alice Nakiri glared at him angrily, gritting her teeth: "Then I'll work for you at this shop for free, is that alright?"

"This is a three-star restaurant!"

Lin Youshu looked her up and down and then curled his lip.

"...Don't go too far!"

Alice Nakiri was so angry her liver hurt.

It's clearly implying that she's not qualified to work at this store.

Please!

She's, after all, the "goddess of molecular gastronomy," and countless top restaurants want to sign her!

What's so special about a mere Shui Long Yin?

Once I graduate smoothly from Totsuki Culinary Academy, I will eventually be able to establish my own culinary brand and create a three-star restaurant that is entirely my own!

"alright."

Lin Youshu shouldn't push him too far; just look at Nakiri Sōe's eyes—it's like he wants to devour him.

Overprotective fathers are terrifying!

Lin Youshu looked at Nakiri Souei and Nakiri Managi: "What about you two? Do you have any objections?"

Nakiri Munee, expressionless, gave him a deep look: "Then let's begin!"

Nakiri Managi naturally wouldn't object.

then.

The news that Miss Alice Nakiri was going to have a food battle with Hayashi Yuuki, the winner of this year's cooking championship, spread throughout the entire Shuilongyin in an instant.

The huge kitchen instantly cleared out a space for the two of them.

Even the head chef, who had been in the position for many years, came over to see what was going on.

Chapter 88 Shrimp Soup Noodles

"Yamamoto, what are you doing here?"

A short, stout middle-aged man walked up to Nakiri Munee. Nakiri turned around and saw the man, and was immediately surprised.

The man named Yamamoto chuckled and replied, "I heard that Miss Alice is having a food battle with Hayashi Yuuki, who is hailed as a future legend. Of course, I can't miss such a spectacle!"

Osamu Yamamoto is the head chef of Suiryuin. (Novel: Wu Liu)
