Can you handle my Hikigaya's cooking?

"It can't be that he fell asleep."

Most of the audience were speechless, and the people in Polaris Dormitory had no idea what was going on. Erina looked at the scene in front of her, and suddenly remembered the state that Hikigaya had revealed during the entrance examination, and now... it was exactly the same.

She couldn't take her eyes away from him.

Among all the people, only Mito, who was closest to Hikigaya, could feel how terrifying that feeling of oppression was.

She struggled to break free, stumbling backwards, and finally returned to her stove.

"It's just...it's just a show."

No one on the stage spoke anymore.

The next second, Hachiman's eyes slowly opened, perhaps he smelled something, or perhaps the countdown in his heart was over. He gently poured all the meat in the pot into the broth, along with the vegetables that had been chopped into powder.

Meanwhile, Mito, who had hastily fled back to his own territory, was carrying out the final packing of the dish.

However, for some reason, her movements were no longer as confident and agile as before. After feeling the aura that could not be ignored at close range, her mind was filled with the scene that had just occurred.

...

"Time is over, that's it."

"The next step is the review phase, which will be determined by our three referees."

"Let's start with Mito's cuisine!"

Mito took a deep breath, and in order to get rid of the impression that Hikigaya had just given her, she picked up her food and walked towards the judges' seat.

Because the lid was not closed, the fragrant aroma of beef continued to permeate the center of the venue. This is the advantage of the A5 Wagyu ingredients themselves. On the other hand, the Yawata side was covered by the lid, so no smell was leaked out.

"Please enjoy the A5 Wagyu beef."

Kawashima Rei: "Roit means "baking" in French, and it mostly refers to dishes heated in the oven."

The whole piece of beef was cut into the shape of a flower, and combined with the simply roasted vegetables, it became a fine work of art at this moment.

Judge No. 1: "This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful beef dish, and the combination with vegetables is extremely reasonable. No matter how you look at it, you can't help but eat a bite..."

Judge No. 2: "Well, I'll start."

Judge No. 3: "Hurry up, I can't wait."

The beef, which has been finely cut into flowers with a knife and paired with vegetable juice, is unforgettable. The perfect temperature and the unique taste that continues to permeate the air, yes... this is exactly the taste of A5 Wagyu.

Judge No. 3: "Even the angle of the fire when baking this dish has been precisely calculated. It's amazing, really amazing."

Judge No. 2: "The direction of the meat fibers and the direction of the fire are placed at right angles, so that the beef is evenly heated, the meat texture is not damaged at all, and the meat juices are fully stimulated."

Judge No. 1: "The vegetables sautéed in butter under the beef not only retain their freshness but also have a unique flavor after entering the oven. It's so delicious!"

The audience on the stage listened to the judges' unanimous praise and obviously saw the final result.

"As expected of Mito, no one can surpass you in meat cooking."

"This guy is doomed. I don't know if he is weak now. This is understandable, after all, he is facing such an opponent."

Mito: "How about it, transfer student, this is the pleasure of meat."

Hachiman: "Well, it's a little worse than I thought."

The audience was instantly quiet.

Mito: "What did you say?!"

Erina also slammed the chair: "This guy, I want to see what kind of food he is going to bring out next!"

Kawashima Rei: "Ahahaha, the next one to appear is Hikigaya Hachiman! Let me see what kind of food he makes?"

Hachiman: "Yeah... this dish should be called [Hikigaya-style vegetable aspic]."

What a genius in naming.

Chapter 37 This is the charm of aspic

"Shh!"

There was a burst of discussion throughout the audience. It was obvious that no one thought that this dish could compare to Mito's big mouthfuls of meat.

Ryoko: "Something's not right. It seems like she's completely into the mood that Ms. Mito has already won."

Tadokoro Megumi: “Ugh…”

Marui clenched his fists: "These people are really annoying. The food hasn't even been served yet."

Ibusaki: "Well, there's a saying that the higher you stand, the harder you fall. It depends on whether Hikigaya can do it."

Under the gazes of everyone, Hikigaya finally lifted the lid covering his dish. It was exactly as everyone had imagined, and there was nothing eye-catching about it. Except for its chewy and unique appearance, it was exactly the same as the jelly sold in the supermarket.

No one knew whether the people in the audience were silenced by Hikigaya's ability or they just didn't want to talk anymore, but they could occasionally hear some sneering laughter.

Erina, who was sitting in the VIP room, also revealed a hint of cold sneer. As expected, she still could not admit Hikigaya's cooking. In her eyes, cooking should be like a work of art, but every time it came out of his hands, it looked like a cheap street stall dish. This was the only thing she could not accept.

"Hikigaya, today is the day you drop out of school."

However...there was still a hint of surprise in her eyes.

You know, as an instructor for the entrance examination, she had witnessed with her own eyes how ugly the presentation of Hikigaya's cuisine was, but now...

In just a few days, he has made such great progress. You know, this is a compulsory course that Totsuki students have studied for three years in junior high school. They have spent three years studying it, so why is the man in front of them making such rapid progress?

But that was all. In order not to compromise with Hikigaya, she did not show her incredible expression.

At the same time, the judges saw this unremarkable vegetable jelly and wanted to immerse themselves in the beef dish. Obviously, it was not top-notch in terms of color or presentation. Perhaps for those who had just seen Hikigaya's cuisine, this was indeed his disadvantage, but...

Tadokoro Megumi: "Hikigaya...Hikigaya-san's plating..."

Marui: "Hey, don't tell me that he has been practicing the speed of plating food and processing ingredients these past two days..."

Yoshino: "If Mito knew that Hikigaya didn't take her seriously, she would be so angry that she would die."

Ryoko: "Well, we are still at a disadvantage, so let's not open the champagne at halftime."

Ibusaki: "Yes, the three judges ate Mito's strong-tasting food first. If Hikigaya doesn't bring a more special impact..."

Having said this, everyone's eyes were once again on Hikigaya. This food battle had finally come to the final moment. After the three judges had eaten the dish, the duel between the two would come to an end.

Hachiman: "Three judges, please use a spoon when eating this dish."

Although they didn't quite understand what Hikigaya meant, the three judges still did as he said. They took the spoons in their hands and simply placed them lightly on the jelly.

In an instant, a piece of jelly seemed to have its own thoughts. It jumped out of the plate and fell to the ground.

After a few seconds, it melts directly into soup.

Judge No. 1: "No...No way."

Hachiman: "Be more careful when eating this."

Because of this sudden change, the audience who were already feeling sleepy became excited again.

"Hey, look at that thing. It looks incredible."

"What the hell is going on? Isn't this a meat showdown..."

"It doesn't seem as ugly as it looks. I'm actually looking forward to seeing what it tastes like when I put it in my mouth."

Mito: "Oh, how can this clever dish be compared with my professional beef?"

The three judges swallowed their saliva at the same time, but this time they became extremely careful. They gently placed the spoon on the plate and then slid along the direction of the plate to accurately catch a piece of jelly.

Gently put this seemingly unremarkable jelly into your mouth. At this moment, you can't feel any flavor in your throat. It's just like jelly, chewy.

The next second, the high temperature in the mouth instantly melted the aspic, and its true appearance was finally revealed. His broth dripped down drop by drop, and finally burst out in the mouth.

Judge No. 1: "What...what's going on..."

Just in the interval between words, a stream of fragrant gravy filled up the entire mouth again. The impact was no less than the feeling of being trampled by thousands of troops on the grassland.

After the fierce attack, the sweetness from the vegetables also burst out, as if clearing away the greasy taste brought by the meat just now, and instantly I felt an indescribable comfort and coolness from the lungs to the heart.

Judge No. 2: "This is... mint. It's actually mint. The mint is blended into the aspic, and this is the final effect."

Judge No. 3: "Not only that, the vegetable sauce that came with the minced meat also played a decisive role."

If Mito's cuisine is about eating meat in big mouthfuls and feeling the primitive wildness, then its shortcomings are also obvious.

No matter what kind of meat it is, it is still meat. If you eat too much, you will feel sick of it. It is like eating in hot weather and sweating profusely. Although you enjoy the taste, you are suffering physically.

Hikigaya's cuisine is completely the opposite. All the meat, vegetables and the broth made from the two are blended into a small piece of jelly. Not only is the combination just perfect, but eating it does not put any pressure on anyone. It's like a gentle man who takes your feelings into consideration from beginning to end.

Tadokoro Megumi: “Amazing...”

Marui: "But what's the difference between this and the cooking you mentioned before? He can't have really practiced plating and preparing ingredients for three days."

Ryoko: "If you look at it like this, you really can't see anything."

Ibusaki: "It's probably the soup base. According to what Tansho-san said, his aspic was just simply paired together before."

At the same time, Judge No. 1 had completely opened his mouth and was just swallowing the remaining jelly in front of him.

Judge No. 2: "How did they manage to maintain such elasticity and yet melt in the mouth in an instant?"

Judge No. 3: "Yeah... Even after eating this dish, I still can't understand what the secret is!!"

Chapter 38: See You Next Time

Facing the judges' questions, everyone in the audience formed a sharp contrast with what had just happened. It seemed that everyone's eyes were on Hikigaya, waiting for his answer. Mito, on the contrary, was like a girl who had been banished to the cold palace.

Hachiman slowly took out a can of strange liquid from the wooden box handed to him by Grandma Wenxu.

“This dish uses agar agar, which is sprinkled equally on vegetables and meat, and then added to the broth. In the end, you get a jelly-like texture.”

Judge No. 1: "I see! I see!"

Judge No. 2: "What about the meat? What kind of meat is this?"

Faced with this question, Hachiman just shook his head evasively:

"The meat is not important. What's important is that I add vegetable leaves to the minced meat patty, just like making a vegetarian steak, and get a whole new taste."

'You can't say that this meat was bought randomly during a supermarket promotion...'

Judge No. 3: "This kind of creativity is considered to be top-notch in the entire Totsuki Academy."

"Oh!" Incredible cheers came from the entire audience, but Erina, who was sitting in the VIP room, looked at Hikigaya with an unhappy expression.

The three judges said at the same time:

“The three flavors enhance each other’s deliciousness. This is the true combination of vegetables and meat. It’s so delicious! No more comments needed!”

Looking at the judges wolfing down their food, if there was only one person in the entire venue who was stunned, it must be Mito.

She couldn't understand why the other party didn't show any real ability or prepare any decent dishes. Even the ingredients told the judges that they were not important.

But in the end, the scales of victory kept tilting towards him, and she found it hard to accept this.

The three judges asked unsatisfiedly, "You finished it so quickly, is there any more... I want to eat more. This feeling, even if you eat it every day, you will never get tired of it."
