Can you handle my Hikigaya's cooking?

Ye Shanliang: "Two monsters..."

Kurokiba (without the turban): “Yeah.”

Miura: "I think Hikigaya is just too strong mentally..."

Tadokoro Megumi: “Well, that seems to be the only reason.”

Marui: “It seems so…”

On the stage, as the two contestants rushed to enter, Hachiman quickly noticed that Yukinoshita's face looked a little bad, even though nothing had happened just now.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Yukinoshita put her hand on her temple and said with a forced smile:

"Nothing, maybe it's because there are too many people. I'm not used to places like this. Compared to me, Hikigaya-kun, you don't seem to be affected at all."

Hachiman said calmly:

"If I tell you that I just want to finish this quickly and go back to the dormitory to sleep, will you laugh at me?"

"What? What a headache!"

"Anyway, drink some water first to calm down. I guess this opening ceremony won't be over so soon."

Having said this, Hachiman handed over a cup of warm water like a gentleman. Of course, making such a move on the stage, especially in front of an opponent, was quickly captured by the major media.

There is no need to think about it. If Yukinoshita took the glass of water, I dare not imagine what the media would report after the game. In short, this kind of news is almost on par with the entertainment industry.

but...

Even though it was such a troublesome matter, Yukinoshita still did not resist at all. She just pretended that she knew nothing and gently took the cup.

The person who was the most angry when seeing this scene was of course Erina who was sitting in the VIP room of the Top Ten. She was already irritated by what had just happened, and if you look carefully now, you can see that the veins on her hands have begun to crack.

Kawashima Rei:

"Well, let us invite our judges to come on stage. They are all legendary graduates from Totsuki. Today, the school specially invited them back."

"Please come in, Inui Hinatako!"

"Mizuhara Fuyumi!"

"Shinomiya Kojiro!"

"Donato Sycamore Field!"

"And... the legendary Totsuki graduate from three years ago, who contributed countless masterpieces during her time at the school, Yukinoshita Haruno!"

When the name was heard, the entire venue seemed to become quiet in an instant, except that the cup in Yukinoshita Yukino's hand slipped uncontrollably. Hachiman, who was standing next to Yukino, quickly noticed that Yukino's hand was shaking uncontrollably.

Tadokoro Megumi: "Yukinoshita, Haruno? Is she Yukino's sister?"

Ryoko: "That's the only way it can be now... But why have I never heard of this name? If he is a graduate of the 89th class, we should have heard of him when we were in junior high school."

Marui: "I don't know... But if that's the case, I can only blame the school. After all, I've read so much information and have never heard of such a person."

Shiomi Jun: "The Yukinoshita family..."

Ye Shanliang: "But, is this really okay? After all, judging by their blood relationship, these two are sisters, right? In such an important competition, do we really not need to avoid suspicion?"

Shiomi Jun shook his head: "You don't know them very well, but... the situation you described will never happen. In fact... it will be the exact opposite."

Kurokiba: "What do you mean?"

Shiomi Jun: "Even I don't know much about the Yukinoshita family, and according to rumors, the two sisters of the Yukinoshita family are not as harmonious as imagined..."

Mito: “It’s completely confusing...”

Yuigahama: "Are you okay... Yukino..."

On the stage, Yang Noi was waving her hands generously to greet the audience. Obviously, not many people in the audience had heard of her name, but she still looked as if it didn't matter and was simply enjoying the stage in front of her.

Yang No: "It's been a long time since I came back. Hello, Yukino."

Xueno: "Sister...sister..."

When responding to Haruno, Yukino's words became noticeably dull. Even if the people far away in the audience seats couldn't notice it, Hachiman, who was right next to Yukino, couldn't possibly ignore it.

"Sure enough, just as I guessed, these two people didn't meet on that day, but... why?"

There were still too many things that were incomprehensible. Hachiman just kept his eyes on Haruno. At this moment, she didn't feel any burden at all. She just rushed over and gave Hikigaya a big hug.

"Hikigaya-kun, we meet again. Did you miss me?"

"Stupid, haven't we just met once?"

Xueno: "Have you seen it?"

Haruno: "Why are you so surprised, Yukino-chan? Hikigaya-kun is my good friend!"

"It looks like a toy anyway..."

Yukino just turned her head away and put on a nonchalant look: "I suggest you not to act so intimate in front of the media. After all, if the news gets back to you, it won't be a good thing for the Yuki family or Hikigaya-kun."

Yangno smiled meaningfully, but tightened his grip on Hikigaya even more:

"You just did that in front of everyone, and you warned me instead. Yukino-chan is really cunning."

After being counterattacked by Yang No, Yukino didn't know what to say for a moment, and just blushed and stammered:

"I...we just..."

Although Hachiman tried his best to break free from Haruno's restraints, this guy's attention was not on him at all. At this moment, he understood that he was just one of Haruno's tools, and the purpose was to attack Yukino at this time, but what was the reason?

He turned his attention to the other seniors. Even the most serious Shigong did not say much about Yang No's behavior at this time. It was simply incredible.

"What is the origin of this guy..."

Hachiman: "Okay, let me go now."

Listening to Hachiman's calm words, Yang No let him go knowing that it was boring. She simply waved her hand and said to Yukino:

"I hope you can create a work that satisfies me, Yukino-chan."

At the same time, everyone was completely confused.

Erina: "What's wrong with these two sisters?! Why are they pretending to be pure and innocent and then being so shameless? I can't stand it!"

Hisako: "Lady Erina, please don't get excited."

Erina: "I'm not excited! Not at all!"

Hisako: "Yes, yes... maybe they are really friends?"

Erina: "How can you just hug your friends right away? And I know Hikigaya doesn't have many friends. Even if we are friends, we should keep a certain distance. Does he understand that?"

Looking at Erina with a crazy face, Hisako was helpless and could only keep comforting her like coaxing a child.

And everyone in Polar Star Dormitory was completely dumbfounded.

Ryoko: "Do they know each other?"

Mito: “I don’t know…”

Tadokoro Megumi: “What do you seem to be talking about?”

Mito: “I don’t know…”

Marui: "Why are you still hugging me? Damn you, you handsome guy!"

Ibusaki: “I feel like I’ve heard this somewhere before.”

Miura: "Okay, the problem of avoiding suspicion just now has completely disappeared at this moment. After all, these three people know each other."

Yuigahama: "Is it really okay? Xiaoqi, Xiaoyukino..."

Ye Shanliang: "I always feel like there's something weird..."

Kurokiba: "That guy is emitting a very scary aura. I can feel it."

Kurokiba, who had always regarded the kitchen as a battlefield, soon discovered the aura that the other party was constantly releasing. It was a manifestation of experience in many battles. Even Kurokiba, who had devoted his life to cooking since childhood, could not catch up with the terrifying aura of Yukinoshita Haruno.

Back on the stage, Yukino's expression was obviously a little different. She just lowered her head and tightly grasped her left arm with her right hand, looking guilty:

"I'm sorry for making you laugh."

"Nothing. Is she really your sister?"

"? Is there anything different?"

"Please, can you please be more aware of this, Ms. Yukinoshita?"

Hachiman: "I always feel that her personality is very different from yours. We are from the same family, but she has completely different personalities. It always feels weird."

Speaking of her sister, Yukino's expression became even darker, and she simply said:

"My sister has always been excellent... She is the one I have always been chasing after. But even so, I am still far behind."

Seeing Yukinoshita's expression for the first time, Hachiman felt a little reluctant to continue to complain, so he just scratched his head and said embarrassedly:

"Well, let's talk about those things later. No one knows what will happen in the future. We just need to focus on now and present a wonderful duel for the audience."

Yukino: "I, can I?"

Hachiman: "That's totally unlike you. We are partners, and I know exactly how powerful you are."

Yukino: "Then...come on, Hikigaya-kun."

After greeting the seniors one after another, Kawashima Rei began the next step of hosting:

"Everyone present, the autumn trials finals are about to begin. Now please look at the ceiling."

After hearing Kawashima Rei's words, everyone looked up at the sky. Just as they had imagined, because the weather was good today, after the sky became completely dark, the white moonlight soon illuminated the entire venue with a faint light.

Combined with the venue lighting of [Moonlight Splendor], the whole stage gives people the feeling of a one-man show, just like dancing ballet, so beautiful.

Yuigahama: "It's so beautiful... This venue is amazing."

Miura: “Indeed, it’s very shocking…”

Ibusaki: "Well, even though we've been at this school for nearly 4 years, we've never entered this venue to compete. It's said that only some special finalists can be selected to enter this venue, which is even more powerful than the last venue."

Yuigahama: "So, Xiaoxue and Xiaoqi are really amazing!"

Shiomi Jun: "Here? It really makes me miss it..."

Almost the entire venue shouted "Wow" at this moment. At this moment, Isshiki Hui also walked out from the backstage:

"I am the second host. On a day like this, I welcome everyone to gather in Totsuki again. Then, in the finals that are about to begin, our rules are the same as in the past. The cooking time is only two hours, and now... we will start the final draw."

Isshiki walked to a curtain and took out the roulette wheel that had been prepared long ago. In front of this huge roulette wheel, he just said softly:

"There are three hundred different dishes on this roulette wheel, and since we are cooking impromptu, we have to cook according to the dishes drawn by lot."

"Please welcome Senior Dojima Gin to conduct the drawing of lots."

Dojima Gin was still as calm as usual. Under the gaze of everyone, he walked to the roulette wheel and pushed it hard with his strong chicken. Under such a strong force, the whole roulette wheel instantly spun at high speed, with no sign of stopping at all.

Until the moonlight shone directly on Hikigaya, the roulette wheel lost its last kinetic energy at this moment, and finally the pointer stopped before one word.

"Tea..."

Isshiki: "Well, for the final round of the autumn selection, the title of our dish is 'Tea'!"

"As long as it's about tea, anything is fine. This is a dish about improvisation and the most obvious collision of strengths."

"Now...the competition officially begins!"

Chapter 101: Invite everyone to come and eat dog food, this is a great suggestion!

According to common sense, two hours is a very tight time to complete a dish. In such an important competition, if you just randomly prepare a dish, the final result will definitely be inconclusive. And two hours, for a professional chef, will just feel not enough.

This impromptu cooking will test the chef's control of time even more. Because it is an impromptu cooking, there is basically no preparation. The only thing he can use is the knowledge accumulated in his mind and the basic skills practiced every day. Other than that, both of them are on the same starting line.

Since it was an impromptu meal, Hachiman had already estimated the time required to come up with a dish that could be served in the finals. There should be no problem at least within ten minutes.

Since the theme is "tea", Hachiman's mind quickly popped up the tea dishes that his father and Takumi used to make. Although they can be considered exquisite to some extent, but... on such a final stage, it always feels like something is missing.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and a new idea soon emerged in Hachiman's mind. Although trying new dishes in such a situation did not seem to be in line with Hachiman's personality, the dishes were improved upon his father's, so there would definitely be no problem with the production.
