Food Wars!: Delicious Food of the Heavens

Chapter 65 Allocation

"You'll prepare it?"

Hisako Niito exclaimed in surprise.

"Do you know which fragrances were used in that bottle of compound fragrance powder, and in what proportions?"

"This is utterly disruptive!"

After saying that, Hisako Shinto looked at Lin Yu with concern.

"That's something Lady Erina needs, don't you dare mess with it!"

"It would be troublesome if we delayed Lady Erina's research!"

Although Lin Yu knew that Hisako Shinto's actions were out of concern that they would affect Erina Kiri's culinary research.

However, the back-and-forth tugging and Hisako Shinto's consistently submissive attitude still made Lin Yu somewhat annoyed, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Hisako Shinto.

"Besides that, do you have any other good ideas?"

Lin Yu said irritably.

"You can bring it up, I'm open to it."

"After all, it's not me who needs to research new dishes."

"you!"

Hisako Shinto glared at Lin Yu, but then her voice became weak.

"I...I didn't..."

'

"Oh!"

Lin Yu chuckled, "That settles it then!"

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Hisako Shinto, who was squatting on the ground, looked quite disappointed.

Lin Yu grabbed Hisako Shinto's arm and pulled her up.

"Since things have come to this, and you have no other choice, then listen to me!"

"Let's go! Lead the way!"

Lin Yu nudged Hisako Shinto's back, signaling her to lead the way.

At first, Hisako Shinto was somewhat resistant, but Lin Yu used some force to push her forward.

Lin Yu knew that given Hisako Shinto's current state, if she were to make the decision, she would only continue to hesitate and agonize.

The only way to break the deadlock is for Lin Yu, an outsider, to exert external force and compel her to take action.

As long as you move around, whatever you do, it's better than staying in one place, constantly tense and afraid.

"This is the Far Moon Resort, so the warehouse should have a wide variety of spices."

"You're Erina's secretary, after all. With your status, borrowing some spices from the warehouse shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"

Suddenly pulled up by Lin Yu and forcibly pushed to lead the way, Hisako Shinto was caught off guard.

But when faced with Lin Yu's questioning gaze, Hisako Shinto couldn't help but straighten her back, not wanting him to see her as vulnerable.

"Who do you look down on? Of course, there's no problem!" Hisako Shinto said this with absolute certainty.

"very good."

Lin Yu nodded.

"Let's go then."

Far Moon Resort.

Food warehouse.

Spice region.

There was a small room in the corner of the warehouse.

Inside the room, on a small long table, dozens of different spices were piled up densely, covering the entire table.

At the other end of the long table.

Lin Yu was fiddling with the electronic scale in front of him with one hand, and with the other hand he was holding a small spoon, taking a little bit from a glass bottle containing spices and carefully pouring it onto the electronic scale.

On the tray above the electronic scale was a blend of spices carefully prepared by Lin Yu.

"Feed? I still feel unsure. Are you sure it's really okay?"

At that moment, Lin Yu was completely focused when the sudden sound startled him, causing his heart to tremble and his hands to shake uncontrollably.

Fortunately, Lin Yu remained calm and withdrew his wrist in time, thus preventing all the spices in his hand from spilling onto the electronic scale.

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, carefully put the spoon away, and then turned around to look at Hisako Shinto with a helpless expression.

"No? You really don't trust me that much?"

It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that...

""

Hisako Shinto, sitting on the corner sofa, looked anxious and uneasy, seemingly even more nervous than Lin Yu, who was personally preparing the spices.

Hisako Shinto looked at Lin Yu, her throat tightening, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

"My main concern is what if the finished product... is different from Erina-sama's original recipe?"

"Displeasing Lady Erina is a minor matter; what would be a major disaster if we ruined her research!"

Lin Yu sighed helplessly, "Put your heart back down!"

"I've tasted the blend of spices that Erina prepared, so recreating it shouldn't be a problem."

Lin Yu told Hisako Shinto to put her mind at ease, but the anxious Hisako Shinto simply couldn't do it.

How confident are you?

Looking at the large pile of spices on the table, Hisako Shinoto asked.

"To achieve a completely identical reproduction..."

Lin Yu pondered for a moment, "I'm not 100% sure, but I'm at least 90% sure."

Although she didn't want things to get to the worst point, Hisako Shinoto couldn't help but ask, "What if, in the end, we're unlucky enough to encounter that one in ten chance?"

Don't jinx it!

Lin Yu rolled his eyes at Hisako Shinto.

After being lectured by Hisako Niito, Lin Yu felt somewhat depressed.

But considering the other person's anxiety at that moment, he convinced himself to suppress his anger.

"Shinoto-kun, I know you're feeling very nervous and anxious right now."

"I understand."

Lin Yu changed the subject, saying firmly, "But I have confidence in myself!"

"You also need to have faith in me, understand?"

However, it was clear that Hisako Shinto had little confidence in Lin Yu's sense of taste.

"confidence?"

"You're not like Lady Erina with her 'God Tongue'!"

"How can you be so confident that your sense of taste can compare to Lady Erina's?"

"Besides, when you tasted that compound spice mix, the spice powder had already blended with the other sauces! The taste was bound to be a mess!"

Hisako Shinto became increasingly flustered and lacked confidence as she spoke, her face turning pale.

"We're doomed!"

Hisako Shinoto closed her eyes and hugged her head.

"With Erina-sama's keen sense of taste, she'll definitely be able to detect the difference. At that time..."

'

"That's enough!"

"Shut up!"

Lin Yu's angry shout interrupted Hisako Shinto's anxious self-talk.

Lin Yu's voice was filled with barely suppressed anger, and the loud noise echoed in the quiet room.

Hisako Shinto was startled by Lin Yu's voice, looked up, and met Lin Yu's displeased gaze.

Before Hisako Shinto could react, Lin Yu's impatient voice rang out.

"Shinoto-kun, do you know... you're really annoying?"

Hisako Niito was taken aback. "I...."

"Get this straight!"

Hisako Shinto was about to say something when Lin Yu rudely interrupted her, his anger evident in his expression.

"You weren't paying attention in the hallway earlier, and you were running around the corner, which is why you bumped into me."

"So I don't think I can be blamed for the damage to these materials."

"I don't owe you anything!"

"I could have just walked away, but I didn't!"

"Right now, I'm sacrificing my own rest time to help you!"

"And the reason I'm willing to help you is mostly because of Erina."

Lin Yu's tone was harsh, every word filled with barely suppressed anger.

"In the end, not only did you not offer me any support, but you also kept nagging in my ear, giving me a headache!"

Lin Yu stared intently into Hisako Shinto's eyes with eyes burning with anger.

"You're always causing me trouble!"

"Do you even want Erina's culinary research to continue?"

Hearing Lin Yu's blunt and harsh words, Hisako Shinto wanted to refute him.

But when faced with Lin Yu's angry gaze, the words of rebuttal stuck in his throat and vanished instantly.

Hisako Shinto felt uneasy under Lin Yu's gaze. After hesitating for a few seconds, she uttered a weak sentence.

"I...I'm just a little worried."

"Then let's go out!"

At this moment, Lin Yu showed no mercy to her, and his tone was extremely rude, full of anger.

"If you're worried, then go outside and wait patiently! Your constant harassment here is only distracting me."

"This is the best way."

After saying that, Lin Yu ignored Hisako Shinto, turned around, and continued to prepare the compound spices.

"I....

'

"go out!"

Lin Yu's voice was cold.

Although it was only two short words, the chill in them sent a shiver down Hisako Shinodo's spine.

Nervous Hisako Niito instinctively swallowed.

Looking at Lin Yu, she suddenly felt that the boy in front of her seemed to have become a different person.

That carefree laziness, where no one cared about anything, vanished without a trace.

The aura emanating from him was even more oppressive than that of Lady Erina when she was serious.

Lin Yu glanced at Hisako Shinto, who was still in a daze, out of the corner of his eye.

"Don't make me say it a third time!"

"Okay...okay."

Hisako Shinoto shuddered, tiptoed, and left the room.

After Hisako Shinto left, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and the oppressive atmosphere in the room finally eased.

Time passed second by second.

After a long while, Lin Yu stopped what he was doing, raised his fingers, and rubbed his slightly aching temples.

"To be honest, that Erina guy..."

"The level of sophistication demonstrated in this complex flavor profile is truly impressive..."

'

Lin Yu stood up, stretched his arms and back, and moved his body, which was stiff from sitting for a long time.

"Is this the power of the [God's Tongue]?" Lin Yu couldn't help but exclaim.

"Their control over the subtle nuances of various flavors is so amazing that even I find it incredible."

"We made some big promises, but we almost messed things up."

Lin Yu lifted the glass bottle containing the final result and placed it under the light.

When illuminated by light, the powder in the glass bottle reflects a complex array of colors.

Seeing this, Lin Yu's lips curled into a smile, his tone revealing a hint of smugness.

"But thankfully, in the end, I was still one step ahead!"

Outside the room at this moment.

Hisako Niito was pacing anxiously outside the door.

During the long wait, looking at the tightly closed door, Hisako Shinodo felt the urge to knock countless times.

Several times, Hisako Shinto had her hand on the door.

But the thought of the chilling coldness in Lin Yu's eyes when she was kicked out made Hisako Shinto shudder.

In the end, she could only sigh helplessly and withdraw her hand.

"New student?"

Suddenly, the door opened, and Lin Yu stepped out of the room.

Hisako Niito was immediately moved and incredibly excited.

She ran up to Lin Yu, too anxious to speak, but looked at him with eyes full of tension and inquiry.

Seeing the expectation in Hisako Niito's eyes, Lin Yu smiled faintly and nodded slowly.

"It's done!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hisako Shinoto, who had been on edge, immediately relaxed.

Like a balloon that has been inflated to its limit and is about to burst, it has finally found an outlet to release its pressure.

"Very good!"

"There's hope!"

Hisako Niito, feeling a huge weight lifted off her shoulders, couldn't help but shed tears of joy.

"At least Erina-sama's new culinary research won't be ruined because of me!"

Seeing the girl crying tears of joy in front of him, Lin Yu took out a handkerchief and handed it to her.

"Here, wipe it off!"

Lin Yu relaxed at this moment and couldn't help but joke, "You can't go to see Erina with your face covered in snot and tears, can you?"

"Ugh! Who has a runny nose!"

"Nonsense!"

"It's so ugly for a girl!"

Hisako Shinto retorted instinctively, glaring angrily at Lin Yu.

Seemingly still not satisfied, Hisako Shinto even raised her fist and punched Lin Yu in the arm.

But in Lin Yu's view...

At this moment, Hisako Shinoto's expression didn't seem like she was really angry; instead, it had a coquettish feel to it.

His fists were also weak and powerless, creating a stark contrast with his sullen expression.

"Okay, I misspoke, I'm sorry."

"Is that enough?"

As he spoke, Lin Yu handed the handkerchief forward, gesturing for Hisako Shinto to take it.

Hisako Shinoto grabbed a handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her face.

"Why are you so gentle now? Why were you so fierce just now?"

Hisako Shinto muttered something in a very soft voice, but Lin Yu still heard it. He felt both helpless and amused.

"I was a little anxious just now, so my tone was a bit harsh."

"You won't blame me, will you?"

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Hisako Shinoto shook her head, "No way."

"Actually, I'm the one who should be apologizing!"

Hisako Niito breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.

"I was so nervous just now that I said a bunch of nonsensical things."

"Now that I've calmed down, I feel embarrassed when I think back to what I said earlier."

"Those words...were indeed quite discouraging..."

'

"I'm sorry, Lin Yu, I've caused you trouble!"

As she spoke, Hisako Shinto bowed deeply to Lin Yu, standing ramrod straight but with her head almost touching the ground, her tone and expression extremely sincere.

"It's alright, Shinto-kun, stand up."

"I won't get up unless you say you forgive me." Hisako Shinto's attitude was very firm.

Lin Yu was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

"Okay! I forgive you!"

As he spoke, Lin Yu reached out and helped Hisako Shinto, who was bowing deeply, to her feet.
