Can you handle my Hikigaya's cooking?

"Of course, after all, she was born with the 'God's Tongue'."

Before the exam even started, some people started to back out, and Hachiman followed the gazes of the crowd. Perhaps because of her tall stature, or because her golden hair was too conspicuous, Hachiman subconsciously noticed the girl in front of him.

"Hey, come on... you want a girl my age to be the judge?"

"And what about the Tongue of God? I've never heard of it before..."

Although Hachiman has been enjoying the cooking of his sister and father since he was a child, the situation in front of him is completely different from that feeling.

Before Hachiman could continue thinking, the girl standing in front of everyone was obviously impatient. She crossed her arms and began to look at everyone in front of her. Finally, she just smiled faintly:

"Fei Shazi, let's have something interesting this time."

After hearing the words of the blonde girl, Feishazi quickly put down the documents in her hand.

"Erina-sama, there are more people taking the exam this time. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Move the kitchen counter over here."

"Yes..."

Under the gaze of everyone, Erina walked slowly to the cooking table, then after a quick look around, she gently picked up an egg and turned to face all the candidates.

"The main ingredient is eggs. Use it to make a dish. As long as you can make a dish that satisfies my taste, you can enter Totsuki Academy."

From her words and actions, Hachiman could already guess that the girl in front of him named Erina was definitely not a good person. Her confidence in her cooking had obviously reached an immeasurable level. Although she looked about the same age as himself, the food she cooked might be even more delicious than his father's.

When thinking about this, Hachiman couldn't help but back down. At the same time, the wailing of people could be heard in the hall.

Erina: "Also, those who take this test must complete it within one minute from now, but I can allow you to give up the test."

The dangerous smile quickly made everyone flee. The people who had just crowded in the hall dispersed in an instant.

Only Hachiman seemed to have not reacted yet. Since they arrived too early, their seat was relatively near the front. When he turned around, there were only three of them left in the hall.

"Hey, hey... don't be so exaggerated... even if you can't pass, you don't have to give up the exam. "

Perhaps he didn't expect that someone would dare to stay here, and soon, Hachiman was noticed by the two girls in front of him.

Chapter 10: You were a chef yesterday, and you came to Totsuki today? You think you are a chef at New Oriental!

Seeing that the scene was different from what she expected, Erina just showed a meaningful smile on her face.

After just a few seconds, the hall was silent, obviously quieter than the noise just now.

Hisako: "Are you sure you want to take Erina-sama's test? But don't blame me for not reminding you, the one in front of you is the legendary owner of the 'God's Tongue', Erina Nakiri."

Adhering to the idea of ​​asking questions when you don't understand, Hachiman didn't think too much:

"God's Tongue? What is it?"

Feishazi also showed an incredible expression on her face, and then said calmly: "You don't even know what the tongue of God is? Babies usually start to speak between one and two years old, and this lady Erina in front of you said her first word three months after she was born. At that time, she was still tasting breast milk because she thought breast milk was too..."

I don't know why, but Erina felt a little ashamed when she said this. After all, she was facing this guy who knew nothing, so... there was no need to waste words.

Erina: "Hisa sand..."

At Erina's reminder, Hisako pretended to cough twice and looked at Hikigaya again.

"Are you sure you want to take the test? If Erina-sama denies it, your career as a chef will be over."

So that's how it is... No wonder so many chefs from all over the world ran away when they heard that the judge was the girl in front of them.

Having the skills that you rely on for survival denied for the rest of your life, perhaps this is something that no one can accept...

But... I just saw Hachiman gently put on a scarf.

Erina: "It seems that you are ready! Come on, let me see how capable you are!"

At this point, Hachiman has no way out. His life has been like walking on thin ice, and it doesn't matter even if he is denied by one more person.

In order not to use loss as an excuse, be more motivated than usual and act more normally than usual.

At the same time, after confirming that Hikigaya in front of him would take part in this exam, Hisako immediately pulled up his personal information.

"Nani!"

Erina had been calm and composed just now, but after seeing Hikigaya's information, she felt like she had been tricked and was indescribably angry.

"Snapped!"

She slammed the table and said in an unpleasant tone, "Are you kidding me? Hikigaya, when did you start learning cooking?!"

Although Hachiman didn't know where they got his information from, since she asked, and most importantly... they didn't call his name wrong...

"yesterday."

Erina: “Yesterday?!”

"I just learned about cooking yesterday, and today you're at Totsuki Academy? Are you kidding me?"

Hisako: "Lady Erina, that's exactly what the data shows."

Erina folded her arms across her chest, and wanted to turn around and leave angrily: "I don't want to waste time here. This chef is not even a second-rate chef. He is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers."

Hisako: "But as a judge..."

As if she remembered something, Erina walked back with a bit of arrogance, but compared to before, she was obviously a little more unhappy. I guess this will become a subjective factor that affects Hachiman's performance later...

Erina smiled disdainfully: "I'll give you one minute... Since you are so confident, I'll try the food you made. No... it shouldn't even be considered a dish."

Hachiman: "In that case, I'll begin."

There were no fancy techniques. When Erina said that the dish had to be cooked within one minute, Hachiman had already recalled in his mind the thousands of egg dishes that his father had made in front of him, and the task was to choose the fastest one among those thousands. In this way... the answer was soon found.

Take the wok and heat the oil, all basic techniques are done in one go. However, in Erina's eyes, all this is not even considered skilled. But this is normal. If you just became a chef yesterday, let alone the taste and speed, even whether you can hold the knife correctly is a problem.

Sure enough, when Hachiman took out the knife to cut the onions, his movements were as slow as a turtle in the eyes of professional chefs like Hisako and Erina.

Hisako: "This guy... is he kidding..."

Erina felt increasingly unhappy. In her opinion, it was a huge shame for such a person to enter Totsuki Academy:

"I will absolutely, absolutely not approve of you!"

Eggs are always indispensable in Western cuisine, Japanese cuisine, Chinese cuisine and various cuisines from all over the world. Until now, Hachiman has not cracked his eggs. One third of the time has passed. In the eyes of the two, it is impossible for him to finish the dish.

After all, Hachiman's cooking does not involve fancy techniques, but is more of a steady and cautious approach, and he keeps recalling in his mind the state of mind that Shiroichiro had when he was cooking.

Time, heat, frequency and quantity, each link is indispensable. If you want to cook like your dad, you must make no mistakes in this short operation.

Hisako: "What kind of dishes can he make? Lady Erina tastes all kinds of high-end egg dishes every day, and he..."

Erina: "Hisako, you're not still expecting this guy to cook anything, are you? In my opinion, it's just a waste of time. If it weren't for being a member of the selection committee..." As she said this, Erina couldn't help but clench her fists.

Erina: "There are only 20 seconds left, and you haven't even started beating the eggs yet. It looks like it's over."

"Hikigaya Hachiman, what exactly are you going to cook?"

It seemed as if Hachiman was completely focused on his cooking and didn't hear Erina's words at all.

If it was any other time, Erina would probably be shocked by the other person's concentration, but now...

She was already unhappy and now she became even more unhappy. In her opinion, this guy just didn't want to pay attention to her... or he didn't take her seriously from the beginning.

Hachiman kept moving between the two stoves. After tasting the broth that was boiled in a short time, he came to his own frying pan to check its temperature.

Feishazi: "The last ten seconds, nine...eight...seven..."

"Sila..."

Thick smoke instantly filled the entire kitchen, choking Erina who was about to get closer.

"I say, you guy! Cough cough cough..."

Chapter 11: I promised to eat only one bite! Miss Erina

This guy is totally targeting me.

On purpose, absolutely on purpose.

First he pretended not to hear himself, and when I wanted to go over to confirm what the dish was, he deliberately acted like a fool to embarrass me!

Erina, choked by the thick smoke, had lost her mind. If she could, she wanted to turn around and leave immediately.

Hachiman's movements at this moment were flawless. He had seen Shiroichiro cook countless dishes in front of him, and now he could actually make it himself.

In the last short ten seconds, he finally put the eggs into the pot. Under such high temperature, it took only five seconds for them to be out of the pot. Then he poured all the broth that had just been boiled into the pot in an instant.

"Three...two...one..."

"Please enjoy your egg-filled pancake."

Perhaps he finally noticed Erina's embarrassment, and Hachiman asked sincerely, "What's wrong with you?"

It would have been fine if she hadn't asked. As soon as she asked, Erina was instantly furious. She slammed the table. She was really resentful of Hikigaya for playing tricks on her at the stove just now. Now seeing this guy acting like a low-level cook, it was obvious that an unsolvable grudge had been formed.

Moreover, even if we only look at the appearance of this dish, it is definitely not a top-notch dish...

"You are really kidding me! Bastard, bastard, bastard!"

"As expected, he is not even a chef. I don't even want to use my chopsticks."

Hachiman: "You are such a troublesome guy. As a judge, you can't let me feed you..."

She didn't know whether the guy in front of her deliberately misunderstood her meaning or really didn't understand her. Erina, who was fooled again, could no longer hide the blush on her face. She looked anxious. She could have just walked away, but she couldn't swallow this breath and started to explain endlessly:

"My dining table, which is called 'God's Tongue', is full of high-end dishes that embody luxury and craftsmanship. That is the heaven of the gourmet world. And you, who are in a high position, were served something like this... idiot! The exam is over!"

Erina had no intention of tasting it. She was completely pissed off. Even Hisako behind her had never seen Erina like this. Normally, she should be confident and calm, but today, she was bullied again and again.

No matter how much I shouted, it seemed that I couldn't stop Erina from leaving.

only...

Hachiman: "Some things are like this dish. They don't look great, but until you actually try it, you still don't know what's in it."

"Since Miss Nakiri is so confident in her cooking, I would like to see if it is as good as the legend says."

This was the most common and simple method of provocation, but it still made Erina stop. In her opinion, the man in front of her was declaring war on her. Not only was he playing tricks on her, but now he was also denying her cooking that was admired by everyone.

Hisako: "Don't be rude to Lady Erina! You should know that any of Lady Erina's dishes are priceless treasures. How many rich young men have spent half their life fortune just to taste a bite! How can someone like you..."

Erina: "Okay! Today I'll show you what a professional chef is!"

Unexpectedly, Erina really agreed to it. Hisako was speechless for a moment, and Erina only realized now that she seemed to be completely controlled by her emotions just now, and the words came out of her mouth.

Obviously, someone of her status doesn't need to prove anything to Hikigaya, but she just wants to let this guy who can't even be considered a chef know what real cooking is!

Erina, who was angry and wanted to leave just now, calmed down and returned to the stove step by step.

Looking at the egg-filled pancake in front of her, she had only one thought in her mind:

"Deny it! Deny the existence of this thing that can't even be considered a dish!"

Erina didn't believe that this simple dish from the lower class could have any special features. Even if it was slightly different, it would definitely pale in comparison to those truly high-end dishes.

"I'll just have a taste!"

She gently picked up the tableware, then took out the chopsticks and tried to pick up the egg pancake in front of her.

"Kacha..."

The crispy outside and tender inside omelette suddenly broke into two pieces the moment it hit the chopsticks. The chopsticks that Erina had just pushed against it also seemed to have rebounded, which was unbelievable.

Erina: “How...how is this possible!?”

Adhering to the idea of ​​absolutely not believing in superstition, Erina simply picked up the egg pancake in her hand again, and almost subconsciously, she put the freshly baked egg pancake in her mouth.

"Snapped...."

The eggs fried at high temperature made a sound again, and with Erina's subconscious bite, the broth that had been contained in the egg instantly flowed into her mouth.

"It's going to be filled with..."

"Hmm~"
