"From the appearance of the porridge, the aroma, and the shape of the rice grains, your control of the heat and the proportion of ingredients are quite perfect."

"Next, it's the taste of the food. Can it conquer my appetite?"

"Ah, stop talking so much. You can hold back on eating such a nice-looking porridge, but I can't."

Teruki Kuga hurriedly took a few bowls and spoons, obviously eager to enjoy this delicacy.

"Wait, everyone. To taste this rainbow porridge, there are several special steps required."

Lin Han reached out to stop them.

"What, there are other steps? Come on, tell me."

Kuga Teruki urged.

Lin Han looked at Tanosuke Hui.

"This rainbow porridge is made from five different kinds of vegetable porridge. If you want to taste it, you have to taste them separately."

Although she was being watched by many people at the same time, Tanomo Kei felt that she had unprecedented confidence at this moment, and even spoke much more calmly.

"First, please try the red porridge, which is made from red vegetables."

Everyone followed instructions and poured the red rice porridge into bowls, then scooped it up with spoons and put it into their mouths.

"The sweet red vegetables have an appetizing aroma."

"The rice porridge cooked to the right temperature has a soft and mellow taste, and is smooth in the mouth, like a piece of fresh fish that melts in your mouth."

Saito Somei closed his eyes and savored the seemingly light but unforgettable taste.

“Moreover, it seemed as if some of the unpleasant resentment among the confidants gradually dissipated.”

Saito Somei opened his eyes suddenly, with a gleam of surprise in his eyes.

"Yes! I feel as if my whole body has become lighter."

Sakaki Ryoko said in surprise.

"That's right, I feel so light, as if I'm walking on clouds!"

Yoshino Yuuki said happily.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Lin Han and Tian Suohui looked at each other and smiled faintly at the same time.

"Next, the green part."

When everyone felt their appetite had been whetted after tasting the beetroot porridge, they heard Tansho Kei say.

"Oh, green porridge is made from mung beans."

Yuuki Yoshino looked carefully at the mung bean porridge in the bowl.

"The fragrance of mung beans and the steaming porridge are so refreshing just by smelling them."

Sakaki Ryoko said.

After observing for a while, Saito Somei put the porridge into his mouth.

"As for the rice porridge, it still has the same soft and smooth texture as before."

"But when the accompanying vegetables were replaced with mung beans, the taste of the porridge changed from its original sweet taste to the unique fragrance of mung beans."

Saito Somei carefully felt the taste of it.

“Even though the porridge was still steaming in my mouth, the freshness of the mung beans reminded me of the refreshing and cool feeling of eating popsicles in the summer!”

Kuga Teruki said excitedly.

"Then there's the yellow porridge."

With her confidence growing, Tadokoro Megumi gave the next instructions.

“This strong aroma is pumpkin!”

Hojo Miyoko was the first to smell this scent.

In Japanese cuisine, there are not many dishes that require pumpkin.

But in Chinese cuisine, pumpkin is a common ingredient.

"Wow, compared to the scent of mung beans, the scent of pumpkin is warmer and mellower, with a hint of sweetness."

Kuga Teruki couldn't wait to scoop up a mouthful of pumpkin porridge and put it into his mouth.

"The pumpkin was stewed over a high fire until it was soft and almost blended into the rice porridge."

“The pumpkin absorbs the sweetness of the rice, and the rice is also wrapped in the rich aroma of the pumpkin.”

“This pumpkin porridge is simply a seamless whole!”

Compared to the refreshing mung bean porridge, the taste of pumpkin porridge does not seem to be outstanding, but once you put it in your mouth, it is fragrant, sweet and smooth and is not inferior at all.

"And the next white porridge."

Tadokoro continued.

"White porridge...are there any vegetables that are white?"

Yoshino Yuuki scooped up the porridge and said puzzledly.

"Ah, it's Matsuko!"

Sakaki Ryoko said in surprise.

When everyone looked closely, they saw that among the soft rice grains, there were white peeled pine nuts covered with rice paste, which looked shiny like pearls.

Isshiki Hui scooped a spoonful of pine nut porridge into his mouth.

"The aroma of rice is as strong as ever, but it does not overshadow the more fragrant aroma of pine nuts."

"Unlike the soft rice porridge, the texture of pine nuts is loose and crispy."

"Especially with every bite, the special, oily aroma of pine nuts fills your mouth."

"And under the sweet rice milk, the aroma of the oil also becomes refreshing and thick."

His wise eyes flickered slightly.

"I feel this fragrance, even my internal organs are wrapped in a warm taste!"

Yoshino Yuuki said, and Sakaki Ryoko nodded in agreement.

"There is one last dish, tea-colored porridge."

Tansho Kei pointed at the last dish of porridge.

"This aroma is sweeter than the pumpkin porridge before, and has a scent similar to that of flowers... It's longan!"

Hojo Miyoko said in surprise.

"The floral and fruity aroma blends perfectly with the sweetness of the rice porridge."

“The longan flesh has absorbed the fragrance of the rice milk, but its own sweetness has not been covered up, but has become soft and long-lasting.”

"The rice paste, which is filled with the aroma of longan, seems to have become a part of the longan. When the teeth chew the longan flesh, sweet juice will gush out of the rice paste."

After tasting the five dishes of porridge one by one, everyone, including Saito Somei and Isshiki Hui, had not yet put down their bowls.

It was as if he was still immersed in the delicious taste just now.

"This porridge is beyond my imagination."

After a long time, Saito Somei slowly put down the bowl in his hand and looked at Tanosho Kei.

"From the beetroot porridge to the last longan porridge, no matter which kind of porridge it is, it is full of rich fragrance, and each unique taste brings me wonderful surprises."

“It’s amazing that you can make such a delicious porridge with just five kinds of vegetables.”

"Also, this porridge really made me feel something."

Saito Souma's affirmation surprised Tanomo Kei, and what made her even more gratified was what Saito Souma said next.

At this moment, the rare faint smile on Saito Somei's face made Tanado Megumi believe it even more.

Saito Somei has understood the message she wanted to convey to him through this dish!

"Oh? What did Saito-senpai think of?"

Isshiki Hui, who also seemed to have realized something, looked at Saito Somei.

Although through the porridge made by Tanomo Kei, Isshiki Hui felt an unprecedented feeling of warmth.

But since this dish was specially prepared by Tanomo Megumi for Saito Somei, it must have a special meaning for Saito Somei.

Saito Somei smiled, as if he remembered something.

"A warm and peaceful feeling. This is the message that Tansho-san wanted to convey to me."

This dish reminded Saito Somei of some childhood memories.

·· 0Request flowers····· ·······

His mother, who raised him alone, finally got a job training at a nationally renowned sushi restaurant.

The mother thought she could learn better cooking skills, but because of gender discrimination, she could only do rough work like washing dishes and sweeping the floor.

As a result, my mother’s health completely collapsed and she almost fell seriously ill!

From then on, Saito Somei realized that no matter how high one's talent in cooking is, the rules of the culinary world are ultimately decided by those at the top.

This was also the reason why he accepted Nakamura Ji's invitation and supported him.

"Wielding the blade for the weak is also the way of the samurai."

This is what Nakamura Ji told him.

When the weak are oppressed because of the rules, the strong should wield the blade in their hands for the weak and rewrite these unfair rules!

.... ..... ...

And the weak should be under the protection of the strong!

Saito Somei thinks so.

If Totsuki Academy were taken over by Nakamura Ji, the academy might become better under the protection and rule of a strong person.

Saito Somei, who held this idea, was just as he had always believed before.

The quality of a dish should be determined by the winner.

However, Tanomo Megumi's cooking told him a different answer.

It’s not just the food that is strong enough to defeat everything that can be called strong.

The purpose of cooking itself is not to win or lose.

Feel the joy through cooking, and express your feelings through cooking.

This is the true meaning of cooking.

If you blindly pursue strength and weakness, in the end, you will lose your true passion for cooking.

"Is this what you wanted to tell me?"

Saito Somei looked at Tanomo Megumi, then at Lin Han.

He naturally knew that the idea of ​​conveying thoughts to him through cooking came from Tanomo Megumi's original intention.

But this must have been instructed by Lin Han.

Lin Han, who understood the look in his eyes, just smiled slightly.

"I understand, Lin Hanjun, Tiansuo classmate, thank you."

Saito Somei's sudden thanks left everyone present, including Tanomo Kei and Lin Han, a little confused.

"Wow? I can understand why you thanked Tansho-san, but why did you thank Lin Hanzi?"

"I just suddenly figured out something."

Saito Somei smiled, as if he had made some decision, and turned to look at Lin Han.
