The gods descend into reality

Admittedly, some dishes require a lot of preparatory work.

Once the preliminary work is done, all that's left is to simply steam, boil, or stew to make a delicious dish.

But at least the ingredients need to be cooked.

This situation is like the food being prepared before the competition even starts, and then served directly during the competition.

Please, even if you're going to cheat, you should at least wait ten minutes before serving it!

"Judges, I'm reporting someone for cheating!"

A handsome young man with a full head of blond hair suddenly shouted.

Takumi!

A half-Italian, Takumi constantly strives to improve herself, taking Soma Yukihira as her rival. Although Soma Yukihira doesn't seem to consider Takumi a rival at all, Takumi's culinary skills are definitely among the top in the first year.

Seeing someone blatantly cheating at that moment, I instantly exploded.

In fact, not only Takumi, but most of the people who came to participate in the competition and also wanted to compete with the other members of the Elite Ten were also dissatisfied.

Of course, if someone were to compile statistics, they would discover something quite interesting.

Most of the participants were first-year students; there were very few second-year students, and not a single third-year student came.

"The Era of Unpolished Jade" is what Senzaemon Nakiri refers to as the first-year students of Totsuki Academy.

Besides that, there's the second reason.

These kids have only just started school and haven't experienced the harsh realities of society yet!

For many second and third-year students, the Ten Outstanding Students are a deep-seated fear etched in their hearts.

They were a group of monsters that I could never catch up with, no matter how hard I tried.

Talent, sometimes, can be so despairing.

"this--"

"Oh, it's Sakuya. It's a pity Yuyuko isn't here. Otherwise, she would have been so happy to taste Sakuya's cooking. How about we have a banquet at the Scarlet Devil Mansion next time?"

Yakumo Yukari looked at Sakuya with a half-smile.

Originally, Sakuya had only gone back to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to bring Remi with her.

After all, the Scarlet Devil Mansion was going to be relocated. Although Remi had been raised by Sakuya to be a useless person who did basically nothing, she still needed to maintain a good relationship with the future landowner (Xiao Se), so Sakuya naturally had to bring her along.

This was originally a very normal thing, but Yukari Yakumo was very unhappy after she found out.

Please—

I was the one who started it!

Whether it was coming into this world or getting to know Xiao Se, I was the first one.

I'm so wary of myself, but I'm so lenient with that bunch of good-for-nothings at the Scarlet Devil Mansion. The more I think about it, the more upset I get. So I have to put aside my hibernation plans for now and force myself to come along to try and improve my relationship with them!

However, when Yakumo Yukari spoke, Nakiri Senzaemon, who was about to speak, immediately fell silent.

Some things may seem impossible, or even bizarre, and conflict with the values ​​I've cultivated over the years, but they are actually the closest guesses to the truth.

Not only Senzaemon Nakiri, but also the students and even the audience felt their hearts being squeezed tightly the moment Yukari Yakumo appeared, as if they would be doomed if they said one more word.

Please, please don't.

Sakuya said without hesitation.

As the head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, although she manages the huge mansion very well, there are still some things that are quite troublesome.

For example, those stupid fairy maids who were just there to make up the numbers.

And there's that enormous castle that needs to be cleaned for a long time every day.

Although the castle actually became like a maze because of its own abilities.

......

Last time, the young lady initiated the Crimson Mist Incident in an attempt to notify Gensokyo, but unsurprisingly, it failed.

Finally, a banquet was held to entertain everyone in Gensokyo, which almost consumed the Scarlet Devil Mansion's savings for a year, and Yuyuko ate 80% of the food.

Thinking about it carefully, what if there were another banquet?

Well, the eldest and second young ladies can drink tomato juice now, and the internet cable at home can be cut off directly.

"This is the food I made today, braised corn with type B blood."

"Excuse me for a moment, may I ask what Mao Yu is?"

Senzaemon Nakiri seized the opportunity to interject and ask.

We have to ask.

Of the five referees here, only he himself is an ordinary person, while Mao Yu is a strange-sounding species.

Also, is it true that you have type B blood?

Is it the type B blood I know?!

"Don't worry, it won't kill you."

Xiao Se offered words of comfort.

However, Senzaemon Nakiri's face twitched even more violently; he suddenly became even more concerned after you said those words.

The tasting process was rather bland.

Aside from Senzaemon Nakiri, who was a lecherous old man whose clothes ripped off, Xiao Se and the others all gave positive feedback.

Well, my vocabulary is limited; I originally wanted to use "damn it."

However, considering the large number of students present, Xiao Se swallowed those words back down.

Bad influence.

As the competition continued, the students were also enthusiastically preparing their dishes.

Xiao Se was somewhat bored.

Xiao Se originally thought being a referee would be interesting, but after actually doing it, he found it to be quite boring.

Delicious food can indeed give people a sense of enjoyment, but unfortunately, too many people don't realize that.

"Speaking of which, Zi Mei, what brings you here?"

Feeling somewhat bored, Xiao Se looked at Yakumo Yukari and asked.

"Oh my god~ can we take it as Xiao Sejun praising our youth?"

Desolate...

Can I say that my praise was actually commercial?

"It's all because of some heartless man. We helped you find a wife who was more beautiful than anyone in history, and you wouldn't even take her. You were actually bribed by just a few meals. Speaking of Xiao Se Jun—"

Yakumo Yukari squinted at Xiao Se.

Xiao Se looked away, genuinely unsure how to answer.

To be honest, what I did was a bit unfair. Maybe one day I should just move Gensokyo over here?

Although the small worlds generated by the World Tree are not yet perfect, they should be able to accommodate a Gensokyo without much problem.

However, the world is still very small. Although it is constantly growing, it may not be able to withstand these great monsters if they were to fight.

It seems this suggestion should be postponed.

"Could it be that Xiao Se-jun is actually a lolicon?"

A half-smile appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

"How can this be—"

"It's done!"

Just as Xiao Se was about to speak.

Erina Nakiri and Terunori Kuga, the eighth seat, finished their dishes almost simultaneously.

"Ha~ Are you still making it? My special Mapo Tofu is ready. I'll show you the difference between us!"

Kuga Terunori looked at the young master and sneered.

Spicy and numbing flavors are considered the king of all flavors; if you can cook your dish before others, you still have a chance to win.

But if you finish first, your opponent has no chance of winning unless they dilute the flavor you've prepared with an even more intense flavor.

"This is my dish, French red wine braised beef. Please enjoy."

While Terunori Kuga was speaking, Erina Nakiri had already served the prepared dish, while looking at Sakuya with a provocative expression.

Chapter 315 Can you judges be a little more reliable?!

Although she was flustered when facing these people, Erina also had her own pride.

As one of the ten people standing at the very top of the far moon.

Although he is only the tenth seat, it is not because his strength is only enough to qualify him for the tenth seat.

However, he is only a first-year student and has not yet had the opportunity to challenge the other ten outstanding students. He also has the idea of ​​accumulating experience and then making a name for himself.

such as--

For example, when they reach the second year, they can directly compete for the first seat of the Ten Heroes.

Therefore, Erina has her own pride.

Even if he were facing a non-human monster, he absolutely did not want to acknowledge the maid's culinary skills.

"Hmm, this aroma... Erina, it seems you used beef shoulder this time."

Senzaemon Nakiri took a deep breath, a look of ecstasy on his face.

"Yes, red wine braised beef usually uses more active muscles, such as shoulder meat, oxtail, thigh meat, and brisket. In my opinion, shoulder meat has an even distribution of fat and is not too lean, making it the most suitable for stewing beef."

It also allows the red wine to infuse its flavors more quickly and effectively.

Erina Nakiri explained slowly.
