Zongman: Sharingan Technique, starting from daily life

Erina lowered her head in embarrassment.

In his heart, he was already punching and kicking Nakiri Senzaemon in dissatisfaction.

If it was her grandfather who asked, Erina would not have the complicated feelings she has now and would have agreed directly.

Just like being a child who obeys the arrangements of his family.

But if she had to make her own choice, it would have been her own wish to go, not the request of her elders.

Not only did this old man kick the ball to her, but he also suddenly brought up such vague terms as future life, which made her even more embarrassed to speak.

But even though I was complaining.

But the grandfather and grandson had already reached a consensus on Natsukawa. The Nakiri family or Totsuki Academy needed Natsukawa's protection.

Naturally, after everyone's eyes turned from Senzaemon to Erina, she spoke:

"I've never been a private chef before..."

"But if my cooking can satisfy you, a private chef is not impossible."

Perhaps she felt that it was something difficult to say, so Erina gave a roundabout response.

This statement is in line with the girl's somewhat tsundere personality.

"I already feel that this trip to Totsuki has been very rewarding."

Xia Chuan said happily: "Having a private chef who is both top-notch in cooking skills and beauty, I am looking forward to my future life even more."

"Thank you for the compliment..."

Erina responded, a blush appearing on her pretty face because of Natsukawa's words.

Because of her deep impression of Natsukawa's strength and status, Erina's attitude towards him is still respectful and distant, as if she were facing a big shot.

At this moment, the other party's remarks seemed to break the impression of distance, which made Erina realize it again.

Apart from his status, Xia Chuan was about the same age as her and was obviously a boy who liked to pursue enjoyment.

and many more? !

As a private chef, her job should be limited to that of a chef!

Finally realizing the key of being of the same age, Erina suddenly became a little nervous, as if she had thought of something.

"You really agreed?!"

Seeing that Erina seemed to have suddenly become Natsukawa's personal chef, the previously silent Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but speak again.

Then she looked at Xia Chuan, and apart from a somewhat complicated expression, the rest was full of envy and jealousy.

Erina is one of the Ten Greatest Talents of Totsuki!

As the ten strongest chefs among all Totsuki chefs!

The cooking skills of these ten people are all top-notch in their respective fields, a symbol of having been transformed from rough jade into dazzling gems.

She also wants one of the Ten Greatest of Totsuki to be her personal chef, not to mention the most talented among them, Erina!

After expressing her envy, Fujiwara Chika hurriedly flattered:

"Xiachuan, please let me visit your home more often in the future~"

She directed her purpose of eating and drinking with Erina to Natsukawa.

Seeing Natsukawa's half-smile, Fujiwara Chika took his arm and shook it:

"Natsukawa, please satisfy my small request~ I also want to eat such excellent food often in the future."

"And I'm not eating and drinking for free. As a gift from my friends, I will also return the favor~"

Shinomiya Kaguya was originally observing Erina silently, but because of Natsukawa's interest, she couldn't help but think about Totsuki's chef.

Suddenly seeing that Fujiwara Chika was acting again, she gritted her teeth and pretended to be calm as she went for it.

"If it's a courtesy, I'll have my family prepare well."

Although she didn't say it explicitly, the girl had already expressed the same idea of ​​being a guest as Fujiwara Chika.

"A private chef is only a private service. I won't ask too much of Erina."

Xiachuan glanced at Fujiwara Chika and said with a smile: "If you want to taste Erina's cooking, you have to ask her yourself."

Fujiwara Chika pouted, then looked at Erina with eager anticipation and began to beg.

The more shameless a person is, the easier it is to succeed.

This statement is really true.

In fact, Erina and Fujiwara Chika didn't have a very close relationship. They just knew each other through receptions a few times.

At this moment, the other party's request, which sounded like a good friend, forced Erina to nod and say, "Only occasionally."

She is not a person who is particularly keen on cooking for others, and for now, Xiachuan is the only special exception.

However, after hearing the respect that Natsukawa expressed towards her, Erina felt a little better.

After responding to Fujiwara Chika, Natsukawa did not forget Shinomiya Kaguya beside him.

She was not as shameless as Fujiwara Chika to beg others, not to mention that she still had the dignity of being the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family.

While taking care of Shinomiya Kaguya, Natsukawa said, "As for Kaguya, you can of course come to my house as a guest."

It's not like Fujiwara Chika who is here simply for the delicious food.

When Kaguya Shinomiya heard this, her previously hesitant and silent expression immediately disappeared, her eyes seemed to be revived, and she uttered "hmm" heavily.

"Xiachuan is biased!"

Seeing this, Fujiwara Chika pouted her lips in dissatisfaction.

Why did she turn to Erina for help? Kaguya agreed directly.

"Kaguya is here as a guest, not just to satisfy her craving like you."

Xia Chuan said unhappily.

Fujiwara Chika looked like she was in the wrong: "There are times when I just want to satisfy my cravings."

Nakiri Senzaemon saw the "warmth" at the dining table.

He couldn't help but glance at Erina who was just watching, and sighed in his heart.

This child puts most of his attention on cooking.

There is indeed a long way to go.

It seems that if Erina wants to come to her senses, he has to do it himself.

130: Special food war culture, Totsuki prays for protection

After the dinner.

Erina Nakiri entertained Kaguya Shinomiya and Chika Fujiwara and went to her villa in the manor.

Because of Nakiri Senzaemon's invitation, Natsukawa did not go along.

Nakiri Senzaemon and I walked to the courtyard outside the manor. Located at the top of the mountain, Natsukawa could still see from afar the magnificent buildings of various national styles in Totsuki.

"From this position, we can see roughly what Totsuki Academy is like."

In response to Natsukawa's words, Nakiri Senzaemon responded with emotion:

“Standing here is a great place to appreciate the transformation of rough jade into gemstones to shine on their own.”

"I used to look out from here every night, but the recent situation has made it difficult for me to have this feeling for a long time."

"Although I have made you feel satisfied tonight, I still feel a little regretful that I was unable to show you the Jade Age of Totsuki."

The impact of the shutdown is visible to the naked eye.

At present, there are almost no lights on in all the buildings, and no stoves are illuminated.

It was like being completely integrated into the darkness, with a dead and desolate feeling.

This is particularly rare, especially for an academy that specializes in training chefs.

On the other hand, it is indeed as Nakiri Senzaemon said.

Totsuki Academy is not just a place for the Nakiri family to entertain. Its real culture lies in its various clubs, major events such as the academy's autumn auditions, residential training, and the most special food wars culture.

But apparently because of the curse, the school had to stop all activities.

As a result, when Xiachuan came this time, he did not see these characteristics of Totsuki Academy.

Natsukawa didn't care. Just getting Erina as his personal chef this time was enough for him to complete his trip to Totsuki. He could take his time with other things.

Naturally, he spoke up for Nakiri Senzaemon's regret, "Isn't the government already carrying out social restoration? It shouldn't take long for this place to return to its original state."

Nakiri Senzaemon shook his head.

"Totsuki Academy is different from other schools. Its teaching policy is quite special..."

Nakiri Senzaemon began to explain the rules of Totsuki Academy.

Although it is a college for the wealthy, it never pursues status but only the skills as a chef.

At the same time, in order to allow the unpolished gems to grow through competition, they will use the food battle method to ensure their survival.

Therefore, it is very difficult to advance to and graduate from Totsuki Academy, with a graduation rate below 10%. Compared to schools where one can be admitted as long as they pass exams and have good attendance, it is like the difference between heaven and hell.

However, Totsuki's brand effect also comes from this. As long as you can hold on until graduation, you can enjoy the glory of being a popular star in the culinary world for the rest of your life, so every year there are still a large number of chefs coming here for further studies.

Ensuring quality with rigor is not a problem.

But in today's cursed era, it is a problem.

As we all know, curses are born from people's negative emotions.

With such a high elimination rate, the curse will naturally erupt more violently.

In the past, there were only resentment, jealousy, and dissatisfaction, which had not given rise to too many seriously harmful curses.

In addition, there are special sorcerers who come here to clean up every once in a while, so apart from the occasional minor incidents, no serious incidents have occurred in Totsuki Academy.

But now that the curse has been made public, the level of the curse has been further increased.

Naturally, if compared with previous curse situations, it would be easier to breed harmful curse spirits.

Logically speaking, all we need to do is change Totsuki's educational policy.

But if that were done, Totsuki would lose its most important characteristic and slowly become an ordinary rich chef academy, which is not what Nakiri Senzaemon is pursuing.

There is a solution to maintain the school spirit, and that requires a sorcerer who can break the curse.

After listening to Nakiri Senzaemon's explanation, Natsukawa also realized that the other party had the same idea as Shinomiya Gan'an.

They all want his protection.

It's just that one is for assets and the other is to maintain pursuit.

"So Totsuki Academy wants to be like the Shinomiya Zaibatsu?"

Xia Chuan therefore asked.

Xiachuan is just here to have fun, so he can relax a little.

However, if he needs to take advantage of the effect of his identity, he needs to show some attitude.

Speaking of the topic, Nakiri Senzaemon also looked serious.

"Totsuki's assets are not comparable to the Shinomiya Zaibatsu, but as long as it is what you want, Totsuki Academy will serve you to the best of its ability, just in exchange for your protection."

"I agreed."

Xia Chuan gave the answer.

Nakiri Senzaemon opened his eyes wide as if he found this somewhat unexpected.

After all, Totsuki Academy cannot compare to the Shinomiya Zaibatsu, and he thought he needed other ways to show his loyalty.

"What I value about Totsuki has never been his assets or status."

Xia Chuan said:

"As for assets, the Shinomiya Zaibatsu is enough, and as for Totsuki, it is enough to satisfy my desire for delicious food."
