Type-Moon, I loaded the love game

Chapter 13: Emiya Home Economics

【Emiya's home economics exam is about to begin. 】

[The winner of this exam will receive the concept gift "Rin's Pendant", worth 5000 QP.]

"As a concept gift, it's only three stars, providing only a small attack boost. However, as a magic material, it's quite high-quality. If sold to a magic shop, it could provide a full 5000 QP!

"If you want to obtain this wealth, you must prepare the highest quality cuisine to please these judges."

"Um, Emiya-sensei..."

Ying Gu raised his hand and asked,

"This must be a very important thing to you, right? Don't you want to keep it for yourself? Is it really okay to just give it away like this?"

In response, the Heroic Spirit Emiya just smiled bitterly.

"It's okay... I don't know why, but every time Chaldea School summons a Heroic Spirit, they summon a bunch of these meaningless concept costumes. This is the eighth pendant I've given away. I'll just go get another one from the school warehouse later."

"……I see."

A reason so real that it almost makes people cry.

The class bell suddenly rang, which meant that the exam officially began.

Yinggu quickly put on his chef's hat and said to the boys beside him, "Tristan, Oberon, our opponent this time is King Arthur's army. Let the three of us transform into gods of food and research the ultimate dish to entertain our king!"

"oh oh!"

The two of them quickly put on their hats and raised their arms to cheer.

"We are... a team of three!!"

Gao Wen: "Don't you count me?"

"Not really, because the track you're cooking is so special... To be exact, your mashed potatoes are not edible." Ying Gurui commented, "So, go feed it to that Shinji-kun."

Because even Altria, who is the biggest eater, can’t finish Gawain’s mashed potatoes!

"No no no..."

Tristan shook his head, his expression suddenly becoming serious:

"I'd like to bring Gao Wenqing along this time. It's a rare opportunity for us all to cook together. Aren't you curious about what Gao Wen cooks besides mashed potatoes?"

boom!

Yinggu was stunned, his expression as if struck by lightning.

Although he had a bad feeling, he really wanted to see what Gawain could do besides mashed potatoes.

After all, Gao Wen is an excellent student who is rigorous and careful in his work. As long as he is willing to give up the inexplicable track of mashed potatoes, he may really achieve something in the culinary world.

"Then there's nothing we can do... This is a rare opportunity, so let's see Gao Wenqing's true strength."

Ying Gu said with a stern look,

"Gao Wenqing, this is my lifelong request. I want you to make something other than mashed potatoes!"

"Don't you really want to eat my mashed potatoes?"

Gao Wen was a little puzzled.

"But since you said this is a lifetime request, I will make an exception and go against my life creed to bring you other recipes!"

Why is mashed potatoes your life motto? What sacred position do mashed potatoes hold in your heart?

Just as Gao Wen opened the recipe,

Yinggu and Auberon suddenly looked at each other.

At that moment, the two poor guys reached an unspoken consensus through eye contact.

Things like entertaining the king and studying the ultimate cuisine were all excuses used to appease the two Knights of the Round Table.

He and Auberon wanted to win, and they had only one utilitarian goal from the beginning to the end.

That is... money!!!

If you sell this winning prize for cash, you can earn a full 5000 QP!

If converted into purchasing power, it is enough to buy a 4060 laptop, and it can also contribute to the funds for summer vacation travel.

"...Very good, I've decided on this dish."

At this time, Gao Wenqing had already chosen the dish he was going to make next and slowly closed the menu.

His emerald green eyes suddenly burst out with a sharp light:

"For my king, I'm going to try a new dish this time... Spring Chirashi Sushi!"

Everyone was shocked.

How cool! I don't know what it's like exactly, but the name "Spring Chirashizushi" sounds very high-end, and it doesn't sound like it has any potato content at all!

"Has our Gao Wenqing finally made up his mind to break out of his comfort zone and start researching real cooking?"

Ying Gu exclaimed.

Gao Wen has already rolled up his sleeves and started preparing to make this dish.

"First...put the washed rice into a basket to remove the moisture."

The Sun Knight set the wet rice aside to drain and turned to the knives and various vegetables.

He cut through the vegetables quickly with his exquisite knife skills.

"Carrots, lotus roots, bamboo shoots, and dried shiitake mushrooms soaked in water...

"Then soak the lotus root in water, and then put the cut ingredients and washed rice into the rice cooker."

Looking at Gawain who was concentrating on cooking, Ingol and Tristan rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

"Gao Wenqing, he... such skilled knife-cutting skills, such a rich combination of ingredients, and such meticulous handling of ingredients. He's actually cooking. Is this still the Gao Wenqing I know?"

The most important thing is that there are no potatoes in the ingredients this time.

In other words, no need to worry about adding any private goods.

"Lao Cui, I'm afraid this is his true strength after he is freed from his shackles."

Ying Gu thought seriously.

Gawain, who gave up his obsession with mashed potatoes and is meticulous in his work... may have become a conceptual god!

Even Mr. Emiya, who was patrolling everywhere, cast a look of approval upon seeing Gao Wen at their table.

Even Emiya approves of Gawain's cooking steps, doesn't that mean... we can already see the dawn of victory?

"Come on Gao Wen, our prize money depends on you!"

Yinggu couldn't help but cheer for him.

Gao Wen was still concentrating on cooking the dish, taking care of each step in an orderly manner.

"Put a little less water than the mark in the rice cooker, along with the seasonings: soy sauce, rice wine, mirin, and the juice from soaking dried shiitake mushrooms...

"On the other side, beat the eggs, season with salt and sugar, and strain them through a basket to make omelets...

"Remove the tendons from the snow peas, along with the garnishing carrots and lotus root, and quickly boil them in salted water..."

You are awesome, Gao Wenqing! Whether it is your skillful preparation steps or your rich combination of ingredients’ taste, it proves that this dish of yours has a promising future!

Yinggu clenched his fists and shouted excitedly in his heart.

I could even smell the aroma of the steaming food.

"Take out the cooked rice, pour all over it the sushi vinegar from removing the shrimp, and roll the rice into a shape that can be cut vertically."

"Then it's time to shape it into the beautiful appearance of sushi..."

Smelling the enticing aroma of food, the three of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

I'm so greedy.

Gao Wen stretched out his big hand and pinched the shape of the sushi roll vigorously.

"Finally, it's time to show off the finished product..."

And when he let go,

Under the boys' expectant gaze,

The next second, the sushi turned into a puddle of horribly crushed mashed potatoes.

"Gawain's special mashed potatoes, done successfully!"

Gawain said with a handsome look on his face.

"That is why ah!!"

Yinggu held his head in disbelief and screamed.

Tristan was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

"Is this...is this some kind of mashed potato curse?"

It was done so well in the beginning, why did it turn back into irrelevant mashed potatoes in the end!

This is already a curse at the level of an innocent monster!

Chapter 14: Culinary Examination

You witnessed the mashed potatoes being made.

[No matter what kind of food or ingredients it is, it seems to turn into mashed potatoes in Gawain's hands.]

"He was acting so well at first, but why did he turn into mashed potatoes in the end? Is this some kind of equivalent exchange magic trick?"

Faced with their puzzled reactions,

Gao Wen put on a matter-of-fact expression and explained convincingly:

"Maybe it's because I made so many mashed potatoes in my lifetime that it's etched into my soul, and I can no longer cook anything else. Perhaps this is what they call 'Innocent Monster E.'"

"I didn't see any innocent monsters, I only saw the 'Deserving Mashed Potato Monster EX'. Don't just carve anything into your spirit base!"

Yinggu sighed heavily.

The moment I felt anticipation for Gao Wen's cooking just now shows that I am still too inexperienced.

"Brothers, Gao Wen is already useless. From now on, we can only rely on the three of us."

Yinggu poured the mashed potatoes into Shinji's mouth, then looked around at his teammates.

"Is there anything you'd like to cook, Lautrey, Auberon?"

"To be honest, I know nothing about cooking either. I'm just more self-aware than Lord Gao Wen," Tristan said. "But I can sing for you and help bolster your performance."

"Why are you playing the piano in cooking class? Stop it, it's disturbing."

Auberon suddenly took a step forward: "I have a good idea."

"Oh, you have a plan too?"

"Since Emiya-sensei said we can repeat the challenge, why don't we just hand in the mashed potatoes and give it a try? Since the mashed potatoes are already made, we can just treat it like buying a scratch-off lottery ticket."

"No, this thing will definitely get a failing grade, right?"

Oberon smiled mysteriously and said, "Leave the rest to me. I'll find a way to get high scores from the judges."

"Do you know any magic tricks that can deceive your sense of taste, or some magic trick that can make food taste better...?"

"Haha, maybe there will be,"

Auberon said ambiguously,
