"It's over, it's over!"

"The fish got off the hook."

"Stop making noise! ​​Can't you see you've scared the fish away?"

"Yay! I caught a catfish! Now I can coat it in egg wash and breadcrumbs..."

"what?"

Where can we find eggs and breadcrumbs?

"Wow, I almost forgot that we have to find all the ingredients ourselves!"

……

at the same time.

Inside the kitchen, the sharp, rhythmic clanging of knives began to reach Hinako Inui's ears.

This brought her back to her senses, as she was almost falling asleep.

"Hmm~"

"I slept so well."

He stretched and then yawned.

Immediately afterwards, Hinako rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked in the direction of the sound.

A young man with short blond hair was seen gripping a kitchen knife tightly and rapidly processing the duck meat on the cutting board. Upon closer inspection, his knife skills were incredibly powerful and fast!

in a blink.

A duck on a cutting board.

He quickly separated them.

Whether it's the breast meat or the leg meat, it's all cut with great precision. Even with such quick knife work, the internal organs inside the duck meat are not damaged at all.

So much so that this exquisite and terrifying control left Hinako Inui completely stunned.

……

Time flies.

And so his Italian-style roast duck was completed.

When it was served, the pumpkin chunks and mixed vegetable salad were arranged in a triangle on a square plate, while the bright red roast duck in the upper right corner was vibrant and tempting, with a glossy sheen.

"high speed!"

"And the ingredient used was not fish, but duck."

Looking at the plate of Italian roast duck in front of her, Inui Hinako praised, "It seems you have thoroughly investigated the situation within this enclosure."

“Italian cuisine.”

"The most important thing is to be light and agile."

Takumi looked at Hinako Inui in front of him and replied calmly.

"Ok!"

"interesting."

Upon hearing this, Hinako nodded in satisfaction.

……

Italy.

It boasts stunning scenery and delicious food that will make foodies all over the world drool.

Coffee, desserts, pizza, handmade ice cream, fruit wine, ham, and cheese are already world-renowned, but the food here is much more than that.

As a country with a land area smaller than the province of YN, Italian cuisine is far more diverse and complex than people imagine, with each region from south to north having its own unique food and drinks.

Italian cuisine has always been referred to as the mother of Western food.

duck!

It is indispensable.

Dishes like duck pasta, duck pizza, duck confit, duck dumplings, roast duck, smoked duck, etc...

The most captivating aspect of the Italian roast duck served at Takumi is its wild and savory flavor, paired with smooth, sweet, and tender pumpkin, all while using olive oil, rich in natural nutrients, to lock in the aroma.

Then dip it in some mixed salad dressing for added flavor, and the complex taste quickly comes through.

Hmm, let me have a bite.

It's so exhilarating that you'll want to shout with delight!

……

At last.

Hinako Inui savors Italian roast duck.

He swallowed, then pondered it carefully, as if he understood something, and couldn't help but look up at Takmi.

"Your dish has a wild flavor, and you've come up with the idea of ​​using spices like turmeric and the aroma of oranges to perfectly remove the gamey smell of the duck meat."

"This makes the whole dish exceptionally good, especially the multi-layered texture that creates distinct layers of flavor, which is very unique and makes the taste and texture even more delicious."

"In short, I'm very satisfied with this dish!"

"Congratulations."

You passed.

……

soon.

Two hours passed quietly like that.

Shortly after Takumi, several students began to present their completed dishes to Hinako Inui for tasting.

Despite her seemingly delicate and fragile appearance, and her naive and mischievous side, she can be quite serious and aloof when it comes to cooking. Furthermore, Hinako is incredibly strong, strong enough to easily break free from her ropes.

She was known as the "Empress of the Mist" back in the Totsuki era, and graduated as the second seat of the Elite Ten!

therefore.

It's no exaggeration to say that...

It's difficult to make a dish that satisfies her.

Tadokoro Megumi, who was a little slower, became the last student to submit her dish.

What Tadokoro Megumi presented was not grilled fish or Italian roast duck, but an extremely ordinary home-style dish: scrambled eggs with tomatoes!

Tomatoes and eggs are both very inexpensive ingredients.

Yet these two extremely ordinary ingredients are a perfect combination.

It can be sweet.

It can be salty.

You can make soup, add noodles, add some scallions, add some soy sauce...

In short, this dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, so integrated into daily life and so close to the taste buds, has been completely elevated and transformed under the light.

"It's really fun."

The dish that was served was scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

After saying that, she came to her senses and quickly savored the last dish.

……

It has a perfect balance of sweet and sour.

It is bright red and has fine fibers.

It's juicy and has lots of flesh; the deliciousness you can taste immediately upon taking a bite is truly indescribable.

Meanwhile, the taste of this scrambled eggs with tomatoes can be summed up in one word:

soft!

do not know either.

Is it because the eggs were cooked too well?

In short, the moment it enters your mouth, if you bite it slightly with your teeth, you can immediately feel a rebounding force resisting it.

"Although it is a very ordinary home-style dish, it is not mediocre, and it is not something that everyone can do well. You dared to use this dish to prove your strength in such an important training subject."

"Tadokoro Megumi, for this alone, you do have commendable courage!"

Finally, after finishing her scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Hinako Inui looked like she wanted more.

"If I remember correctly."

"Did you add extra basil leaves to it?"
