Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Amidst Conan and the others' envious gazes, Suzuki Seimei leaped into Erina's arms as soon as he got out of the car, nuzzling his rosy cheeks against her.

"Good~"

Faced with the adorable and clingy Suzuki Seimei, Erina Siri simply couldn't resist his affectionate advances and could only smile and pat his little head.

After Suzuki Seimei finished enjoying the facial cleansing service, Erina Kiri then had Hisako Shinomiya bring out the snacks she had prepared beforehand to entertain Ai Haibara and the others.

"Uuuuuuu..."

While eating the sweets made by Erina Siri, Conan and his friends couldn't help but show expressions of pleasure and let out embarrassing moans.

┐(?~?)┌

It's not fair to blame Conan and his friends for being unreserved; it's just that Erina's "drug-giving" method was too clever!

Unless you're a seasoned gourmet who has tasted all kinds of delicacies, or a chef whose skills surpass those of Erina Siri, you'll be captivated by her cooking.

Hisako Shirato glanced at her watch and whispered to Erina Siri, "Erina-sama, the Autumn Selection Preliminaries are about to begin."

"Then let's go together!"

Erina turned her gaze away from Ai Haibara and the others, and flicked Hisako Shinoto's white chin with her finger, saying, "Don't embarrass me later, okay?"

?(????w????)?

Hisako Niito blushed slightly and quickly replied, "Yes...yes."

The oranges are thriving!

Led by Erina S-Kiri, the six little ones, having eaten and drunk their fill, followed her to the Moonlit Sky Realm.

The Moonlit Sky Room is one of the important buildings within Totsuki Academy. It is also the venue for the Totsuki Elite Ten's Food Wars, which shows how important the Autumn Selection Tournament is.

Because Hisako Shinto was also selected for this autumn selection tournament, she was quite familiar with the contestants.

According to Hisako Niito, there are a total of sixty contestants participating in the autumn selection competition, divided into Group A and Group B.

The eight strongest players in Group A are: Soma Yukihira, Akira Hayama, Ryo Kurokiba, Subaru Mimasaka, Ikumi Mito, Shun Yoshizaki, Zenji Marui, and Ryoko Kami.

The eight strongest players in Group B are: Megumi Tadokoro, Alice S-Kiri, Takumi Aldini, Isami Aldini, Miyoko Hojo, Hisako Shinto, Nao Sadazuka, and Yuuki Yoshino.

When Suzuki Haruaki and his group arrived at the Moonlit Sky Hall, all sixty contestants selected for the Autumn Selection Tournament had already gathered, and the hall was also filled with students who had come to watch the competition.

The Moonlit Sky Room was originally the venue for the Totsuki Elite Ten to hold their food battles, so the current Totsuki Academy Elite Ten each have their own private room here, where they can rest and watch the matches.

Erina Kiri is one of the Elite Ten of Totsuki Academy, so she took the six children directly upstairs to her private room.

"Smack!"

! ”

Shortly after Suzuki Harumi and his group entered their private room, the lights in the lobby on the first floor suddenly went out, followed by the stage lights in the center of the lobby coming on.

"Dear students, thank you for waiting!"

A beautiful female emcee dressed in a high school uniform held a microphone and said sweetly, "Please look at the stage in front of you. Now, please welcome the current headmaster of the academy, Siri Senzaemon, to give the opening remarks!"

As soon as the beautiful host finished speaking, Senzaemon Siri, dressed in a light brown kimono and wearing wooden clogs, slowly walked onto the stage.

With a full beard and a scar on his right eye, S-Kiri Senzaemon doesn't give off the vibe of a chef; he's more like a yakuza boss, exuding an aura of intimidation.

S-Kiri Senzaemon first scanned the students in the room with his lion-like gaze, and then said in a weathered voice: "The venue you are in now is commonly known as the Moon Sky Room. It was originally reserved for the Ten Heroes to hold food battles. It is a place of respect for the first seat winners of each generation. Hanging their portraits here has become a tradition."

Upon hearing this, the students in the hall realized that the portraits hanging on the surrounding walls were all portraits of the first seats of the Ten Outstanding Individuals throughout history.

"Many famous duels and incredibly delicious dishes have been born here. As a result, this place is filled with long-standing and continuous memories of battles, and the official matches of the Autumn Selection Tournament will also be held here."

"In other words, only students who emerge victorious from the preliminary rounds are qualified to fight here!"

S-Kiri Senzaemon spread his arms wide and shouted, "Gentlemen, you will write a new chapter in history here. Let's meet here again next time! Special chefs of the 92nd class of Totsuki Academy, young ones~"

"oh--"

Upon hearing this, the students present couldn't help but raise their hands and cheer excitedly, their cheers almost lifting the roof off.

"Next, I will explain the competition rules. As you all received in the letter, the topic of the preliminary round is curry dishes, and the time limit is 3 hours."

After S-Kiri Senzaemon finished speaking and left the stage, the beautiful host followed up by saying, "The sixty selected contestants are divided into Group A and Group B, with thirty people in each group. The top four contestants with the highest scores in each group will qualify for the quarterfinals."

Now, all participants, please proceed to your respective venues for Groups A and B as soon as possible! The preliminary rounds will officially begin at 11:00 AM.

Upon hearing the beautiful host's words, the students present immediately sprang into action, heading to two different venues.

Because Hisako Shinto was in Group B, Seimei Suzuki and the others naturally headed to the Group B competition venue as well.

Taking advantage of the moment when everyone left the Moon and Sky Pavilion, Suzuki Seimei also took the opportunity to reach out his small hand and touch the target people whose heads were marked with the words "Check-in Available".

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Ye Shanliang. You are rewarded with a Master-level 'Cooking' manual, which you can claim at any time."

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in, Mei Zuo Mao. You are rewarded with a Master-level 'Cooking' manual, which you can claim at any time."

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Nao Satsuka. You are rewarded with a Master-level 'Cooking' manual, which you can claim at any time."

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Hojo Miyoko. You are rewarded with a Master-level 'Cooking' manual, which you can claim at any time."

Hearing the system notifications ringing in his ears, Suzuki Haruaki couldn't help but smile happily.

Although this master-level "Cooking" skill book is not very useful to Suzuki Seimei, who has already mastered the master-level "Magic Chef" skill, it would be a great gift to give to someone else.

Since Suzuki Seimei met Erina Siri, he hadn't given her any decent gifts. Giving her a master-level "Cooking" skill book would be the perfect gift.

Of course!

Suzuki Seimei would definitely not give the Master-level "Cooking" skill book as a gift to Siri Erina directly, because that would be blatantly telling her that he has extraordinary abilities.

Chapter 471 Dark Cuisine

Suzuki Seimei would first knock Nakiri Erina unconscious, then secretly give her a master-level "Cooking" skill book, which would naturally allow her cooking skills to break through to the advanced level.

Although Erina Nakiri's cooking skills are still at the proficient level, the fact that she was able to become one of the Elite Ten of Totsuki means that her cooking skills are close to the master level.

Since Erina Nakiri's cooking skills were already close to reaching the advanced level, even if her cooking skills improved significantly, others would only think that she was exceptionally talented and would not suspect that she had used supernatural powers.

"Let the cooking begin!"

Time passed slowly, and soon it was 11 o'clock. With the host's command, the autumn selection preliminary competition officially began.

The thirty contestants in Group B can be described as the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique talents, and each person has a different cooking method.

The most eye-catching contestant is undoubtedly Alice Nakiri. Not only is she a super beautiful girl, but the kitchen utensils she uses are also very special.

Because Alice Nakiri's specialty is molecular gastronomy, her kitchen equipment includes blast freezers and large appliances such as centrifuges.

If they hadn't known it was a cooking competition, Suzuki Seimei and the others would have suspected that Nakiri Alice was conducting a chemistry experiment.

The second notable contestant is Nao Sadazuka, whose culinary style is completely opposite to Alice Nakiri's.

Nao Sadazuka is a woman who exudes a terrifying aura, giving the impression of Sadako crawling out of the TV, and she even covers half of her face with her long black hair.

If Alice Nakiri's molecular gastronomy represents modern science, then Nao Sadazuka's cuisine feels like that of a medieval witch brewing strange and wonderful potions.

This is definitely a culinary disaster!

Besides Alice Nakiri and Nao Sadazuka, another contestant who attracted a lot of attention was Miyoko Hojo.

Miyoko Hojo is the daughter of the head chef of a Chinese restaurant in Yokohama, and her specialty is Chinese cuisine.

Perhaps because Miyoko Hojo is of mixed Chinese and Japanese descent, her style of dress is also influenced by China, as evidenced by her wearing a bright red cheongsam.

"Lady Miyoko, please trample on me!"

"Miyoko-sama, Saigo!"

Under the red, high-slit cheongsam, Hojo Miyoko's already hot figure was accentuated even more, eliciting groans from many male fans.

Even Conan, that pervert, couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at Hojo Miyoko.

Just as Conan and the others were completely absorbed by the contestants, Suzuki Seimei quietly walked behind the sofa and gently touched the back of Nakiri Erina's neck with his small hand.

Erina Nakiri felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, and then collapsed onto the sofa and fell into a deep sleep without disturbing Conan and the others.

"use!"

As Suzuki Seimei silently chanted in his mind, the master-level "Cooking" skill book instantly turned into a ball of white light and merged into Nakiri Erina's body.

While in a coma, Erina Nakiri felt as if she were having a very long dream. A very skilled chef was teaching her various advanced cooking techniques, which greatly improved her culinary abilities.

Nearly half an hour later, Erina Nakiri finally opened her eyes, still somewhat groggy.

"Erina-neechan, you're awake~"

As soon as Erina Nakiri opened her beautiful eyes, Seimei Suzuki's small face came close to hers.

"Did I just fall asleep? Was...was that really a dream?"

Erina Nakiri subconsciously shook her head, but then felt as if the things she had just experienced in her dream had actually happened. She looked at her hands with some confusion.

"Dream?"

Suzuki Seimei chuckled inwardly, but feigned curiosity and asked, "Erina-neechan, were you dreaming just now?"

"Hmm...it's nothing, I'm probably just too tired lately!"

Erina Nakiri patted Seimei Suzuki's head, then stopped dwelling on the dream. She got up and walked to the window to check on the situation in the first-floor lobby, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Looks like I didn't miss the most exciting part."

Because all the contestants participating in the autumn selection competition took the competition very seriously, they all gave it their all.

Although Erina Nakiri was unconscious for more than half an hour, she did not miss the first round of the preliminary rounds, which were only just coming to an end.

"Ding ding ding..."

"Time's up!"

As the final bell rang, the thirty contestants put down their cooking utensils and awaited the judges' verdict.

"Now, let's move on to the judging phase, which I, Kawashima Rei, will be in charge of!"
