Can you handle my Hikigaya's cooking?

Yoshino: “You’ll get used to it.”

Isshiki: "Ahahaha, good morning, both of you. Working in the morning can keep your mind healthy. Not only can you understand how the ingredients grow, it is also part of cooking learning. This place can be called the Polar Star Field, or the Isshiki Field."

Hachiman: "What a nice name."

Yoshino: “You don’t have to force the praise…”

Just as the three were talking, Tadokoro Megumi slowly walked over wearing a yellow apron.

"Hikigaya-kun!"

"Tadokoro-san is up early too."

"Hmm! Look, these are the vegetables that Senior Isshiki cultivated!"

Feeling this healing smile and looking at the girl with blue hair and double braids wearing a bamboo hat in front of him, Hachiman felt that it was much more relaxing than the scene just now.

Hachiman picked up a tomato and began to observe it.

Although he was responsible for purchasing ingredients at Hotel Hikigaya, this was his first time to come into contact with truly authentic ingredients.

Isshiki: “You can try it.”

"Oh oh..Okay."

Instead of refusing, Hachiman became more curious about what this natural tomato tasted like.

He just took a light bite and the juice instantly burst out of his mouth.

The sweet and fresh tomato flavor immediately made him feel the difference between the tomatoes in front of him and the tomatoes he had eaten in the past.

"It's very sweet, much sweeter than what I usually eat."

Isshiki immediately smiled, spread his hands and said, "To be honest, I've put too much thought into it, and I haven't been to class recently."

Hachiman: "You still need to study hard, senior..."

Isshiki: “Ahahaha, I got taught a lesson by my junior.”

Just as they were happily basking in the sun, a short-haired girl who suddenly visited instantly caught Hachiman's attention.

Seeing the change in Hachiman's expression, everyone followed his gaze and looked into the distance.

Yoshino: "Is...Mito?"

Tadokoro Megumi: "Huh? What is she doing here?"

Hachiman: "I have a bad feeling..."

Mito put her hands on her hips, and her revealing outfit seemed to exude a unique aura, and before she knew it, she had arrived in front of everyone.

Yoshino muttered unhappily, "Tsk, damn Dutch cow, what's the use of showing off your big breasts here!"

Hachiman: "Uh, I feel like I heard a sound from a broken heart."

Chapter 31 Food Wars! Mito Yumei (After the update, go to bed!)

"Hey, Isshiki-senpai, long time no see."

Isshiki's face no longer had the smile on it. Facing the aggressive Mito, he just kept his eyes on her calmly:

"What brings you here, Mito-san?"

Mito's eyes kept looking around the Polar Star Dormitory, and that constant gaze was as if he was saying goodbye to something. He spread his hands helplessly.

"Now that you're here, I won't waste any more time."

"I'm here on behalf of Lady Erina to requisition the Polaris Dormitory. It's such a big dormitory, but only so few people have lived here over the years. It's such a waste."

"However, Lady Erina will not be so ruthless. She will definitely arrange new accommodation for everyone. As for this Polaris Dormitory, it would be better to convert it into a new food storage building."

Tadokoro Megumi: “How could it be…”

Marui: "Mito, don't go too far. You even dare to take over the territory of Polaris Dormitory."

Mito held up the cow-like breasts disapprovingly, her eyes clearly full of disdain.

"Well, I just came to inform you. What you think is none of my business. However, Erina-sama's review as one of the top ten has been submitted. Hahahaha, cherish these last moments."

Upon hearing the news, everyone was struck by a bolt from the blue, and their happy smiles completely disappeared.

Hachiman: "Um... Isshiki-senpai, aren't you also one of the Ten Elites?"

An expression of pain also emerged on Isshiki Megumi's face. For him, losing Polaris Dormitory was also something he could not accept. However...it was precisely because he was one of the ten best that he could not do anything about this matter.

Ibuzaki on the side explained:

"The opponent is aiming for the loophole in this rule. If it is Erina who takes action, then Isshiki-senpai can reasonably initiate the food battle, but..."

Isshiki stretched out his hand, interrupting Ibusaki's words, and then took a slow, deep breath.

"Each of the Ten Elites has his own independent dormitory and food storage area, and I am no exception. It's just that compared to that cold building, I prefer this place. However, if Erina sends Mito, then the two of them who don't have the same conditions will not be able to reach a food battle."

Looking at everyone's expressions, Hachiman was very clear that this might not be the first time that Polaris Dormitory had accepted provocation from others, and even if they fought hard, some things were lost and that was it.

Ibusaki: "In my name, let's start a food battle."

Marui: "No, the opponent is that Mito. If it's your name, you will be expelled from school."

Yoshino: "Let me do it."

Ryoko: "I think I have a better chance of winning against her cooking."

Tanomo Megumi clenched her hands tightly. She clearly wanted to help everyone, but at this moment she didn't even have the strength to take that step.

She naturally didn't want Mito to destroy this place, but if she participated with her inferior strength, if she failed, Polaris Dormitory would also not escape the fate of being destroyed.

The more she thought about it, the more painful her heart became.

"It may sound a bit presumptuous to say this, but I'll do it."

When the other party said Erina's name, Hachiman vaguely sensed something. After all, he seemed to have angered her yesterday, and now Polaris Dormitory was being retaliated against because of him.

If he turns a blind eye at this moment...if he just treats it as a lie and buries it in his heart from then on, Hachiman really won't be able to get over this hurdle.

Tadokoro Megumi: “But…”

Hachiman: "After all, I have only been in this academy for one day. Just assume that I did not pass the entrance examination. Besides, I may not become a chef in the future. Even if I leave this academy, I will have my own way of survival."

For Hachiman, it is normal for him to solve the troubles he created by himself, but after all, he is carrying the fate of everyone in the Polaris Dormitory. If he fails, this place will be razed to the ground and everyone will move to a new dormitory. In this case...

Are you still willing to place your final hope on yourself?

Isshiki patted his shoulder:

"Hikigaya-kun, I believe in you."

Ryoko: "Well, after all, we have already held a welcome party for you, and I also regard you as a member of Polaris Dormitory, so...Hikigaya, please bring back victory."

Marui: "I will provide my greatest assistance during this time."

Yoshino: "If there are any ingredients you need, I can provide them."

Ibusaki: "It seems that I was passed."

Tadokoro Megumi's face still showed dissatisfaction with herself and shame for Hikigaya's participation in the battle: "Hi...Hikigaya-san..."

Hachiman: "So..."

Mito: "It seems that you have made up your mind. You actually want to beat me after losing Isshiki-senpai. That's amazing...really amazing."

Hachiman: "After all, I have been denied since yesterday. To be honest, I am used to it. However, it is hard to say what the result will be."

Mito: "Tsk, you are just a talker. Your dead eyes are as rotten as this dying Polaris Dormitory."

Hachiman: "Hey, this is definitely a personal attack..."

Mito: "Stop talking nonsense! You want to save everything through food battle, right? Since it's in your name, if you lose, not only will this Polaris Dormitory be demolished, but you will also be expelled!"

Hachiman: "Well, I've had this realization for a long time. To be honest, this is the first time in all these years that so many people believe in me. It always feels incredible. For the future of Komachi, as a brother, I can't let Polaris Dormitory disappear like this... Mito-san, if you lose, Polaris Dormitory can no longer be demolished or occupied in any name, and..."

He raised his head slightly, and that extremely aggressive gaze seemed to be able to tear apart all of Mito's defenses completely, and for a moment Mito's legs began to go weak.

"You also need to join Pole Star Dormitory and provide labor for the back garden of Pole Star Dormitory."

Yoshino: "Uh... this is treating Mito-san as a laborer... It's not a big deal, but it's too insulting."

At the same time, Mito's face was clearly showing a hint of dissatisfaction. Facing the arrogant Hikigaya in front of her, she was determined to knock this guy down completely...

Chapter 32: Three-day appointment, see you there

The atmosphere between the two reached freezing point at this moment, and it seemed that just a chance would completely detonate the scene.

Mito's face has returned to normal, and now there is only one last question left to confirm...

"Since the conditions we proposed for the food battle are similar, let's come up with a proposition for each other."

"The main ingredient is meat. According to the rules, the recipe is yours to choose."

"Meat...well?" Hachiman was not surprised. After all, everyone in this academy has their own specialty, and if the other party chose meat, it means that she is extremely confident.

The more times like this happen, the more we need to avoid the enemy's attack.

He picked up a cabbage and said:

"In that case, the dish should be vegetable dishes."

The people standing behind Hachiman were already dumbfounded. How could there be a vegetable dish with meat as the main ingredient?

Even Mito couldn't help but burst out laughing. She really doubted whether the person standing in front of her was a chef, but the more she doubted it, the more she looked forward to it.

"The war will begin in three days."

"it is good."

After leaving the last words, Mito left without any reluctance, which made the people behind him breathe a sigh of relief.

Tansho Kei immediately ran up and said hesitantly and anxiously:

"Bibibibibibibi... Hikigaya-san... Mito Izumi-san is a chef with the title of [Meat Master]. She has always maintained top-notch grades in junior high school. She has never gotten a grade below A in meat cooking. Even in school, she is one of the best... And you just agreed to compete with her in meat..."

"That sounds pretty impressive..."

Ryoko also hugged Tanosuke Megumi from behind. She could feel Tanosuke's anxiety, but since the food battle had been decided, there was no possibility of changing it. Now... apart from believing that Hikigaya and Bangami would do their best, there was no way to save it.

It can be said that Mito's arrival disrupted their originally good atmosphere, and now everyone is in varying degrees of tension.

For Hachiman, this may be his first day entering Polaris Dormitory, or even Totsuki Academy, but for them, from junior high school to high school, although this place is cruel, it is also full of many irreplaceable memories.

No matter what, I don't want to lose. Even though I know the chances are slim, I still choose to believe, and continue to struggle, and keep pursuing and holding on.

This was the only thing that Hachiman could not ignore, and his heart also produced a strong resonance at this moment.

...

After a simple work, Hachiman returned to the kitchen. After coming to Totsuki Academy, it was his first time to initiate a food battle and his first time to fight against the students of this school. The price he paid was his expulsion and the demolition of Polar Star Dormitory.

However, after all, food battles require you to know the recipe and ingredients first, so it is extremely important to think about what dishes you need to make in advance and constantly try to improve them.

"According to Tadokoro, Mito is best at beef, but chicken and pork are also very good. Generally speaking, if we fight head-on, our chances of winning will be even smaller."

"The real focus should be vegetables, and meat dishes are supplementary. If we follow this line of thought..."

While Hachiman was thinking, Senior Isshiki also entered the kitchen.

"Hikigaya-kun, are you still worried about what dish to cook?"

Hachiman nodded. It was undeniable that facing Mito's big mouthful of meat, it would be difficult to defeat him with moderate combinations and light flavors.

A faint smile appeared on Isshiki Hui's face. Facing this junior who had just joined Polaris Dormitory, for some reason, he always felt that there was an incredible power in him.

"You're hungry too, eat something first before thinking about it."

"Actually, I still..."

"Well, let me, the senior, take care of the junior."

As if without waiting for Hikigaya to answer, Isshiki started cooking on his own. It was the first time that Hachiman saw Isshiki, who was ranked seventh among the top students in Totsuki Academy, cook.

He casually took out some pork from the refrigerator, and with his sword-like knife skills, it was quickly chopped into powder.

If Erina is the dancing queen standing on the palace, then Isshiki-senpai is more like an artist when cooking. In just a moment, with the help of flour and pork powder, a brand new pork chop appears in Hikigaya's eyes.
