Tokyo Sound

"Austria is so powerful. Brother Dong has no ability to resist at all. He is shaking with fear." Urban Monster laughed, continued to eat the meat roll, and began to explain.

“Hahaha——” Tsuchiya Hongliang laughed a few times before reacting. He felt the gazes from all around him, “Assholes, stop them quickly. People around us are looking at us weirdly. The Central Church cannot lose face.”

The good brothers then came forward to help.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, the Rat Man leisurely took off his mask - revealing a beautiful and mature face!

"It's the beautiful sister." Zhang Wei sighed deeply.

"So disappointed! So disappointed!" Urban Monster stomped his feet.

"As expected, legends should be passed down in secret." Tsuchiya Hiroaki also sighed sadly.

"How perfect is this world?" Stir-fried Sweet Potatoes shook his head with his hands behind his back.

"?" Only Five, who was in the Golden Pickup, couldn't understand. He thought, what's the pity? These people don't really think that Celty exists in the real world. How old are they and still so immature?

"You should be afraid, they are not normal." Takada Kenryo is still a kind person. Even if he is bullied, he is willing to speak out and remind them.

"Hey! You are so rude!" The Austrian boyfriend shouted angrily, and his voice was indeed soft.

Chima Hayako held her forehead and shook her head helplessly.

But after all, it was the latest version of the offline gathering of the chat group. After everyone got to know each other, they started getting tickets to enter the theater.

The layout of the venue was simple and clear, with a wide and flat stage, and character paintings hanging around it. The lights flickered occasionally, and it seemed that they were doing the final adjustment. The seats were arranged in a circular pattern. The first row was closed, the second row was for the media, and the third row and onwards were regular seats.

After entering and sitting down, the group members were shocked to find that the group owner smiled evilly at everyone, then leisurely sat down in the media seats in the second row, slowly picked up the camera to check the equipment.

There seemed to be a thick barrier between the two rows of seats.

"I almost forgot he's a big blogger!" Zhang Wei gritted his teeth. He will remember this humiliation.

……

You can already hear the conversations in the conference hall from here.

Yin Ze was waiting for the show to start backstage. Because everyone was set to be a participating chef, they all changed into the white chef uniforms prepared by the staff, which looked pretty decent at a glance.

The only two boys, Yin Ze and Matsuoka Yoshitsugu, changed their clothes and waited in the corridor.

"Hey, this is a French chef's uniform. The shape looks good." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu reached out and touched his friend's sleeves and shoulders. "If I didn't have to wear the same logo short-sleeved shirt as Yukihira-kun, I would also like to try this one."

"Don't even think about it. You can't wear this outfit of mine." Yin Ze said mercilessly.

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu stiffened a little and looked down at his increasingly obvious belly... He had trained his abdominal muscles when he debuted by delivering newspapers on a bicycle, and there were records of him admiring himself in his phone albums.

"Don't worry too much. At least you do have the temperament of a cook now." Yin Ze quickly offered comfort.

"..." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu almost fainted from anger.

Ohnishi Saori trotted over happily, showing off her white chef uniform. "Hey, seniors, look at me in this outfit. Do I look like a cooking expert?"

"Well, the height is determined by the person who makes the decision." Yin Ze glanced at it perfunctorily and commented with high emotional intelligence.

"Hehe." Ōnishi Saori knew nothing about all this and just took it as high praise.

After a while, several other girls came over after changing their clothes.

Risa Taneda was hugging Maaya Uchida and Rina Hidaka on both sides, chatting and laughing as if they were walking in the corridor after class in middle school. The three girls were all wearing white kitchen uniforms, gray skirts, black socks and leather shoes. Even their hair was in a single ponytail, which was too formal and too standard.

And they have a really good relationship.

Come to think of it, they are all excellent people after all.

"Looks like a master, right?" Risa Taneda simply turned around and showed off her clothes.

"It's unexpectedly suitable." Yin Ze nodded and said, "I can feel the abundant feminine power, and this kind of dress is very cool and energetic, with a different, strong charm."

“?” Saori Ōnishi was stunned, feeling that she was being treated differently.

“Actually, being a chef is another dream of mine.” Hidaka Rina recalled the past.

"Mr. Taneda...you're hugging me too tightly." Uchida Maaya smiled bitterly.

"Our goal this time is very clear, which is to defeat this seeded player in the single team." Risa Taneda hugged her colleague and extended her index finger in her signature way, pointing at someone.

“Hehe, if you can do it, just give it a try.” Yin Ze stroked his non-existent long beard and said in a master-like manner.

"Where is Takahashi-san?" asked Matsuoka Yoshitsugu.

"He was playing with us just now, but was called away by the staff. We agreed to go and see the prepared ingredients later." said Risa Taneda.

"Oh, I know where it is. You guys go first, I'll be waiting for Takahashi-san here and will come over later." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu said, "After all, I'm in the same group with her today."

"Did you see it in advance? Are there fish in the box?" Yin Ze asked curiously.

"No. Not even a loach." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu replied immediately.

“What!” Chef Yin’s greatest advantage was cut off. He finally panicked, “Hurry up and take me over to have a look!”

Someone and others go ahead to gather intelligence.

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu stayed where he was, adjusting his apron. He didn't wait long before he saw a girl wearing the same white clothes coming over with a few scripts.

"Hello, Mr. Matsuoka. Thank you for your guidance today." The girl bowed politely.

"No, no, I am the one. We are partners today, so please give me your guidance." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu bowed in return.

"With Matsuoka-san, I can rest assured. I don't usually cook..." the girl said embarrassedly, "including this outfit. I didn't expect that I would wear the uniform of a professional chef."

"Well, this, this. Obviously it's very suitable." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu was not very good at complimenting others, so he said, "I can feel the abundant feminine power, and it's very cool and energetic, and there is a kind of strong charm."

"Yes, is that so? How can it be so appropriate, hehe." Takahashi Minomi was a little shy and laughed.

Chapter 2.0: Crazy

The venue was filled with the sound of people talking to each other.

After a while, the quiet sound system played the animation interlude, and everyone immediately stopped talking, adjusted their sitting positions and looked towards the stage. The lights flickered one after another.

The elegant host walked onto the stage from the sidelines in a formal ladies' suit, her steps and manners being quite graceful.

"Hello, audience members. Welcome to the Maihama Theater for taking the time to attend this event. I am the host of this event, Chiaki Uezawa. Thank you again for your strong support for the work "Food Wars! Soul". This is a real cooking showdown. Without further ado, please invite the contestants to come on stage. Please give them a warm round of applause--!"

The audience was all eagerly looking forward to it, clapping their hands hard and shouting with desire.

The stage lights gradually dimmed, and as a round of reverberant music played, the performers were divided into four groups, emerging from the lifting device in the center of the stage and slowly standing in everyone's sight.

The main actors are Matsuoka Yoshitsugu and his partner Takahashi Minomi. Matsuoka also wore his signature headscarf to show his legitimacy. He said in the voice of the character, "Sorry for the long wait. We have the upper hand. Let's wait for the delicious food to come out of the pot!"

Next came the team of Risa Taneda and Saori Ōnishi. The two seemed to have discussed it in advance, and like Ace Attorney, they pointed their index fingers at the audience in high sync, "Now that we are here, we have only one goal, the championship!"

"Saori——" At this time, a roar came from the audience. There must be a true fan.

Next came the group of Uchida Maaya and Hidaka Rina. They hugged each other with their backs to each other and looked up slightly. They seemed to have the aura of strong people, but in fact, they were really strong when they started fighting. Their voices were stern and firm. "Simply put, we are here to make this cooking event more formal!"

Finally, there is a team of one person, who was recognized as the seeded player and the favorite to win before the competition started. He is a master who has repeatedly demonstrated his excellent cooking skills on other occasions and in the media.

In the beams and projections created by the spotlights, a man in a frosty white, straight French chef's uniform, with a stern face, slowly waved to the people.

The audience became agitated, with shouts and applause rising one after another.

In fact, every one of the guests is a popular voice actor. Each group’s appearance attracted a lot of response, but this one received the biggest response.

Some of the more excited female audience members held up the merchandise sold outside the venue and shouted “Satoru——!”

"Hmph, if volume can represent single thrust, then I will definitely not lose." Surrounded by the sound waves, Takada Kenryo sneered and slowly took out a classic prop from the wholesale market - a loudspeaker - from his box.

"Not really, Teacher Dong, don't do this, don't do this. We will be asked to leave the venue." Urban Monster Phlegm hurriedly dissuaded.

But the hot favorite who has received so much support is not as nervous as he appears to be. Because he unfortunately learned before the game that there were no fish for him to kill, the man was silent for a few seconds, then forced out a relaxed smile, "I think this is my first time cooking live, and I will be successful if I can get through the first round."

The audience's enthusiasm inevitably dropped for a moment, but soon returned to its peak.

Although he possesses great strength, he is so humble and polite, always as warm as the sun in spring. He is talented and virtuous, and it is really hard not to love him!

"I see. It seems like everyone is full of fighting spirit." Uezawa Chiaki said while holding the microphone. "Ms. Matsuoka, as the face of the team and someone who has experience in recording personal cafeteria videos, do you have anything to say?"

"I've been to the Maihama Theater before for other events, but I didn't expect it to be a kitchen." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu folded his hands in front of his belly in a very formal manner, like a welcoming person. "Everyone here today is familiar with me, so I'm not nervous. And Ms. Uezawa is so amazing. Even from the perspective of a voice actor, her voice is very good. I always feel that after your speech, the venue has the atmosphere of a serious press conference."

"Oh my, you're here again." Uezawa Chiaki smiled gracefully, "I also know that Mr. Matsuoka is a very special person. Please cheer up today and present the best to the audience."

"The host comes from a TV station and is a professional announcer, so it's natural that he has strong abilities." Yin Ze suddenly complained.

"Oh, is that so? Yes, I'm sorry, what I said just now was too complacent..." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu hastily apologized, rubbing his hands folded in front of his abdomen uneasily.

"No, no, no, I'm very happy about Mr. Matsuoka's compliment just now." Chiaki Uezawa tried hard not to laugh.

"Well, then, please allow me to express my apology after the event is over."

"Okay, okay. I'll wait for you."

There were also bursts of good-natured laughter from the audience. The Iron Triangle is as close as a rock, and the fans of the Iron Triangle are naturally connected. The two demons and one god can also be regarded as the three types of contemporary male voice actors. Matsuoka is a traditional behind-the-scenes type, focusing on a classic style. Shimazaki Nobunaga is a salty handsome guy who used to be a singer at N stations. He has strong expressiveness on stage and excellent strength. He is a standard type of idol wave. As for someone, he represents the chaos type that represents the possibilities contained in the voice actor profession.

"Why do you have to specifically point out Matsuoka-san's mistakes?" Minase Inori said half worriedly and half complainingly.

"This is the love between brothers," Kashiwa Ippei commented with a laugh while holding potato chips.

"There are so many offline meet-ups, and there are many people singing and dancing, but this is the first time I've seen people cooking. By the way, the two boys on the stage who are best at cooking, right?" said Jianqi Jingxiang.

"Mr. Matsuoka will definitely win in the end." Minase Qi said with a hint of subjectivity.

"That's not necessarily true." Sakura Ayane's subjective factors were more important. "In order to balance the strength, the production team deliberately let some guys go out alone. I don't need to explain the value of this, right?"

"Haha, this is really interesting. What do you think, Kashiwa?" Kenqi Kyoka asked with a smile as she listened to the young people's argument.

"Hmph, you ask me what I think. Those two guys claim they know how to cook, but they have never treated me with any respect. You know, even that outsider named Moriki Hiroshi has enjoyed it. They are typical of not repaying a favor, and you still ask me what I think?" Kashiwai Ippei suddenly restrained his childish smile, squinted his eyes and grinned, and in an instant he revealed a murderous and ferocious look.

"...Okay." Kenqi Kyoka hesitated to speak.

"Come to think of it, all the guests should have done some cooking training in advance, right?" asked Uezawa Chiaki.

"If it's cooking videos, I've watched a lot of them." Takahashi Minomi inadvertently exposed the fact that she was weak.

"Our eldest lady has also been practicing for a long time. She said she could subdue you in an instant." Ōnishi Saori was taught by example in the Kashiwai department and learned how to bully others with her power. She decisively pushed out her teammates in the same group.

"No, no, don't force your hatred on me." Risa Taneda said loudly.

"I believe everyone has noticed that the guests are in groups of two, but there is one exception. This is not to bully him, on the contrary, because he is too good, so this method is adopted." Uezawa Chiaki explained emotionally, "In terms of cooking skills, no one on the field can compare with him."

"Yes." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu replied solemnly, with a completely serious attitude towards a powerful superior.

"I remember when I delivered cookies to him, his junior hadn't even started cooking yet, but he's gotten stronger so quickly." Hidaka Rina exclaimed.

"Don't be fooled by him and let him win." Uchida Maaya also emphasized, "He is very good at deceiving people."

"..." Yin Ze stood with his hands behind his back, with the aura of a master. He seemed relaxed, but in reality he had nothing to say.

"Due to time constraints, this time we will adopt a simple knockout format. The four teams will first fight each other in pairs, and the winners will then compete in a decisive battle. It's very simple and easy to understand, right?" As Uezawa Chiaki said this, the large auxiliary screen thoughtfully listed a simple schedule.

Team A (Matsuoka/Takahashi) vs. Team B (Taneda/Onishi)

Team C (Hidaka/Uchida) vs. Team D (Challengers)

"Oh oh."

"Oh, no, no, I'm already getting nervous."

Everyone reacted.

Master Yin was completely disappointed. He still had a chance of winning when playing against Team A and Team B, but this was a death group, and he was facing the two strongest duos. He just said that he would be successful if he survived the first round, but now he was a complete failure. He even had to set a flag for himself in the table, fearing that he could turn the tables. There must be a bad guy in the program team!

However, to uninformed viewers, this matching mechanism is quite straightforward, with the weak versus the weak, and the strong versus the strong.

"Excuse me, can I surrender and lose half?" Yin Ze raised his hand and asked.

"There is such a setting in the script? How come I didn't know about it?" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu was surprised.

"The rule at Totsuki Academy is that if you surrender you lose half of your money." Yin Ze lied as soon as he opened his mouth. "I am the seventh of the Ten Elites. I won't lie."

"Thank you, junior, for thinking of us, but we will not surrender." Hidaka Rina snorted.

"Hmph, I will tolerate this provocation for now." Uchida Maaya flexed her wrists.

The strongest duo was motivated and their fighting spirit was high.

“?” Yin Ze.

"Before the real sword fight, we will conduct a small test for the contestants." Chiaki Uezawa said with a smile, "In the work "Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma", there is a setting called the God's Tongue. The sense of taste and the ability to distinguish dishes are also crucial for chefs. Now, each team will choose one person to cover his eyes and be fed by teammates. Guess the quality of the two grilled meats and choose the higher-grade meat. If the answer is correct, you can get the same meat product as a reward after the game."

"What should I do if I don't have teammates?" Yin Ze's eyes lit up, "Why not shoot..."

"Then let other guests do it." Chiaki Uezawa suggested.

Without waiting for many people to think and recommend themselves.
