Can you handle my Hikigaya's cooking?

Not only Tanomo Kei, but everyone in the entire Polar Star Dormitory received more or less help from Hikigaya.

so...

There is nothing to complain about, at least in this monkfish soup curry. The fish soup made from monkfish liver, with the flavor of spices and vegetables, is a completely upgraded version of Tansho's hometown cuisine.

If you just keep the past in mind, then failure will always run through your life and your heart, making it impossible to get out of those unforgettable memories. It is precisely because you have experienced the pain, felt the contradictions, and felt uneasy about it, so Tanomo Kei understands that it is really great to be selected for the autumn selection, and it is really great to be able to stand on this stage.

Unlike other contestants, it can be said that Tadokoro Megumi has truly come to where she is today step by step. When everyone else puts deliciousness first, Tadokoro Megumi has always insisted on putting comfort first, allowing the eaters to feel a warm energy. This is also the reason why she has been unable to move forward, but... this is enough. At least we can see that she is slowly changing. For her, isn't that a comfort?

Megumi Tadokoro scored 89 points.

Hachiman was not surprised by this result, but the others were so frightened that their pupils were trembling unconsciously.

"Hey, no way..."

"You actually got the same score as Hisako-sama? This is such a loser."

"You must be joking. If things go like this... even Mito will be squeezed out."

"No, let me sort it out. The top five are all above 85 points, and there are even two super elite players with 90 points. The last time Totsuki was able to achieve such a situation was many years ago."

"amazing..."

At the same time, Erina looked at the girl with pigtails with some disbelief. Originally, she didn't seem to feel anything when she saw Tanshoko, but now... she felt a sense of uneasiness that she had never felt before.

Why is this happening? Perhaps she herself doesn't know, but this uneasiness has already arisen when she saw her and Hikigaya so close, and now it is only magnified.

That’s right, Erina has been called a genius since she was a child, so she will not allow herself to fail no matter what, and cooking has never betrayed her. As long as she continues to work hard and make sacrifices, she will eventually defeat her opponents with her cooking.

However, when I looked back, there was nothing left around me except the food. Friends, family, or anything that could be called a relationship, could not be found again.

Over time, she had gotten used to this feeling, but...after seeing the seamless relationship between Hikigaya and Tashoko again, she felt a little shaken.

In this session filled with geniuses, she could not allow herself to lose any competition, because a loser could not be called a genius. And now, only cooking could accompany her all the time.

Unlike Erina, everyone in Polaris Dormitory, as well as Hachiman himself, were genuinely happy to witness this scene.

"Finally the moment has come, the day when you can spread your wings and fly high from your little garden..."

As early as when I first met Hachiman, I had noticed the calluses on her hands. It was obvious that she was the result of hard work and study day after day, and she was definitely not inferior to anyone in cooking. But on that day, the day they first met, she was so flustered.

If one observes day after day, the relationship between people will become closer and closer. As for Tanomo Megumi, Hachiman can also clearly determine that this guy is indeed a very powerful person.

In the past, Hachiman couldn't even take care of himself. After all, he had no passion for cooking, let alone helping others. It was difficult for him to stay in this academy by relying on other people's cooking. But perhaps it was fate that he ended up this way.

So, one day, Tanomo Kei will boldly take that step.

At that time, no encouragement will be needed anymore.

She is just her, and he is just him.

As time passed, the number of remaining contestants gradually decreased, and when the name of Ye Shanliang, who was unanimously agreed to be the ultimate killer, was heard, the entire venue suddenly erupted in a violent sensation.

"Hey, hey, is it finally coming?!"

"The legendary incense maker, with such an advantage, I guess only he has a chance to surpass Yukinoshita."

"If you want to surpass Yukinoshita, you need a judge to give you a perfect score. That's easier said than done."

"That's Ye Shanliang, what's so difficult about that?"

Almost everyone's eyes were on him. At Kawashima Rei's call, Ye Shanliang just turned around and said to Hachiman:

"Cooking, I left a portion for you."

"Thank you very much."

“After eating, remember to give a review.”

With just one sentence, Ye Shanliang walked towards the stage with his food without even looking back.

Erina: "Finally here, Hayama Ryo."

Hisako: "He is the one that makes Erina-sama give him some space..."

Yukinoshita: "Hikigaya-kun..."

Hachiman: "What's wrong?"

Yukinoshita: "No, nothing..."

Although he didn't know what Yukinoshita was thinking at this moment, Hachiman didn't care about that and just kept his eyes on Hayama Ryo.

As for the people who had been with him day and night at the Shiomi Research Institute, Hachiman didn't know much about Hayama Ryo, but... no matter what, he had witnessed the other party's strength with his own eyes, so...

He will surely serve up delicious food that will shock the whole audience as expected.

Runye clasped her fists in the audience stands. Although she always complained about Ye Shanliang before, she still secretly cheered him on for every game he played.

This time, it's the same.

...

Time goes back to ten years ago. Ye Shanliang, who was only seven years old, was still a child. Unlike most children, he was just a rat living in the slums. It was simply a fantasy for him to want to see the sun.

But even so, God still opened a window for him. In that slum, he could move around almost exclusively by relying on his nose, and he could also judge the freshness of the food he bought and sold by relying on his nose.

It was because of this ability that he met Shiomi Jun who was traveling around at the time. It was also this first meeting that made the two of them become close partners.

He and Shiomi prepare every dish together, and the dishes served are definitely not the work of one person, so...

This time, we must continue to win.

Ryo Hayama, the candidate for the championship of this trial, finally stepped onto the stage, and Ai Hoshino quickly said:

"I am looking forward!"

Judge: "The menu is fish head curry, which is a dish made with the whole fish head, right?"

The judge's confidence came from the fact that he was very familiar with this dish, but when Ye Shanliang lifted the lid of the pot, his face froze for a moment.

"No...No way..."

"This is simply an aroma bomb."

"This is Ryo Hayama's curry..."

Before the tasting even started, the entire venue was in an uproar. After all, the smell of the spices had spread throughout the entire venue, which was unprecedented.

"This is too exaggerated. It has floated over here."

"The fiery stimulation feels like a needle piercing me, and the fragrance is so rich..."

Judge Anton finally reacted at this moment. As a professional judge, it would be a loss of composure if he failed to comment on a dish in a short time.

And just now, all of them briefly entered this state.

“Perfect, the best curry that incorporates the flavor of fish pot. Not to mention the creativity and spices, the whole naan is covered with sauce...”

Judge Anton was the first to pick up a spoon. After scooping up the sticky sauce and naan, he swallowed his saliva unconsciously and put it directly into his throat.

“Although I know that as a professional judge I will lose points for saying such things, but... this dish is beyond words.”

However, Hachiman, after taking a look at the food that Ye Shanliang left for him, quickly said:

"Puff pastry soup is a dish created by French cuisine, and it is said to be inspired by the steamed egg yolk in Japanese kaiseki cuisine."

Tadokoro: "Huh? Hikigaya-san, how come you know so much?"

Hachiman: "After all, it's all written in the book, so just read it more often..."

Tadokoro: "But won't you forget it after you read it?"

Hachiman: “Will it?”

Both of them raised the most primitive questions, only Takumi on the side couldn't stand it anymore and said:

"Tadokoro, don't compare this kind of person with ordinary people. Marui has read enough books. It's not easy to remember them all."

Marui: "I always feel offended, but to be honest, I would dream of having a photographic memory like Hikigaya."

Hachiman listened to their miraculous words and just shook his head in confusion.

Yukinoshita also added at this moment:

"The aroma of the food is concentrated in the puff pastry, and the moment the top cover is cut, it bursts out in an instant. This is Ye Shanliang's weapon, using the most essential power to directly impact the judges."

Marui: "Um, that, Tansho, we have to compete with ordinary people."

Mito: “I quite agree.”

Yukinoshita's eyes were calm. She just turned her gaze to Hikigaya and asked directly:

"What kind of spice is in it? Why can it explode with such amazing power?"

Hachiman didn't think much about it, he just sniffed it and answered directly:

"Cumin, lemon tea, cinnamon, holy basil."

“The most important thing is holy basil, which is used fresh and then supplemented with the turmeric contained in the spice to enhance the flavor and even has a liver detoxifying effect.”

After taking another look at the food that Ye Shanliang had left for him, Hachiman seemed to have figured out everything in it, so he swallowed it in one gulp without any preparation, shocking everyone else.

After all, this dish can be considered a work of art, so how could it be eaten like this?

However, perhaps he had anticipated the meaning of this, and in the end, Hachiman just said expressionlessly:

"Yeah, delicious!"

Takumi: "So I said you are definitely a monster..."

Yukinoshita seemed to have a headache as well. She just pressed her temples and said, "Hikigaya-kun, can you change your habit of eating like this? It looks particularly disgusting."

Tadokoro: "As expected of Hikigaya-san..."

Mito: "Marui, see, this is the difference between reading a good book and studying blindly."

Marui: "I'm older than you, don't compare me with him."

Isami: “The score is out.”

Ryo Hayama scored 95 points!

As soon as this point was made, the entire venue erupted in roar again.

"Hey, I'm in the same group as that Yukinoshita!"

"It's incredible... But why do I feel that Yukinoshita is more powerful..."

"Idiot, Yukinoshita can't be compared to humans."

"It seems so. This means that Ye Shanliang has already reached the level of a god with his human body..."

"95 points! Not many people can get this score."

At the same time, Hisako and Erina were completely dumbfounded. She, who was ranked second just now, now has the same score as Wadanobu.

The temporary ranking is:

Snow Under 95 points

Ryo Hayama 95 points

Takumi 90 points

Feishazi 89 points

Tadokoro Megumi 89 points

The head coach who had been sitting in the viewing stands also stood up at this time. Obviously, he had not expected that such a situation would occur in the preliminaries of the autumn selection one day.

The scores are the same, and almost everyone is above 90 points. This is simply a prosperous age.

As Ye Shanliang walked off the stage, the commander-in-chief's words echoed throughout the venue:

"If there are two teams that are tied for the same score and are eliminated, the judges will select the better team."

After these words were spoken, how could the venue remain calm?

"This is already perverted enough, who else can break this list?"

"I think there really is no one left. There are only a few people left who haven't played yet, and there are not many powerful ones."

"Eh? I heard there was a guy called Hikigaya, didn't he beat Shinomiya-senpai?"

"real or fake..."
