Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

The moon rises quietly.

The distant mountains in the night have blurred outlines, as if shrouded in a veil, making them appear very mysterious and profound.

Nearby, the trees cast mottled shadows under the bright moonlight, swaying gently in the breeze, breaking the silence of the night and adding a bit of vitality.

At this moment.

In Neon Country, Hokkaido area.

"Dear candidates, please note that the train doors have been closed and the Moon Shadow train is about to depart."

In the train, the sound of the announcement became louder, and soon the train, with its luxurious and elegant interior, was speeding quickly, like a bolt of lightning that was so fast that one could not see it clearly with one's eyes open.

"Miss."

"This train will pass through many stops along the way, and it seems that at every stop, students will get off."

"Could it be that the location of the third exam is different for everyone?"

Looking at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window, Fei Shasha, who was sitting in the train, could only say lightly.

"Correct!"

"I remember that there were different routes to advance to the exams."

"For example, in this carriage, there are only three of us, you and Alice. Of course, there must be other students in other carriages, but the stations each carriage reaches should be different!"

"Obviously, starting from the third exam, our moving routes began to diverge, or merge!"

Erina, after taking a look at Hisako, explained.

……

"hiss!"

"The weather in Hokkaido is really cold!"

"If I knew it would be a snowy day, I shouldn't have taken this job in the first place. Alas...it was such a mistake."

At this moment, Kobayashi Ritsou, who is currently the second seat of the Ten Elites, appeared behind Erina and others.

I saw her tonight, wearing a heavy down jacket, always tightening her body involuntarily, with her shoulders high, her hands tightly clasped together, and she kept making rubbing movements.

Ah!

You can tell.

Her whole body seemed a little stiff, and her movements were inevitably a little slow.

The whole body seemed to be bound by this coldness.

If you look at her carefully, you can still see her golden eyes, which are as beautiful as stars and are particularly eye-catching!

"Huh? Ringtong-senpai?"

Erina looked back, feeling a little surprised.

"Haha, are you surprised that I appear here?"

After Ryo Kobayashi finished speaking, he couldn't help but smile slightly. The two rows of white teeth seemed to be shining with light, complementing the blush on his cheeks.

Those eyes also curved into a crescent shape, shining with joy and goodwill.

"Senior, what are you doing here?"

Erina frowned deeply. She was more worried about the sudden appearance of the second seat of the Ten Elites.

After all, as a third-year student in the Department of Advanced Studies, she shouldn't be on this Moon Shadow train.

"To make a long story short."

"You also know the results of the first two exams. The Central Food Agency must be very dissatisfied."

"And I haven't temporarily lost the second seat of the Ten Elites, so Commander-in-Chief Nakiri Thistle personally issued an order to let the Ten Elites who are directly affiliated with the central gastronomy agency serve as assessors."

"So, tomorrow morning."

"At the new assessment location, I will personally appear to deal with you."

Kobayashi Rgentan first found a seat in the carriage and sat down, then continued to smile and said to Erina and others.

……

"is it?"

"My father is so anxious that he even comes in handy for you."

Although she knew in her heart that it would be very difficult to completely crush the power of the Central Food Agency in this promotion exam, Erina really didn't expect that she would tell her seniors in advance, especially this group of representatives. Fight against the most powerful person in Yuanyue!

So, she was silent for a while, and then asked Kobayashi Rgentan: "Then what? In this carriage, me, Fei Shasha and Alice are all your opponents?"

"clever!"

"The three of you will have to compete with me in cooking."

"However, I can secretly let it slip. Although the procedures and rules of the competition must be followed, I still have to decide whether I win or not."

Xiaolin Ringtong blinked his eyes and said.

"what?"

At this moment, Erina, Hisako and Alice all looked at each other.

"Are you kidding me?"

"In the third exam, we actually competed against the top ten?"

"Are we required to make dishes that satisfy the top ten? Or do we have to defeat the top ten to pass this test? The former may be fine, but the latter may not be able to reach the sky!"

Finally, Nito Hisako, who reacted first, said weakly.

"I can tell you that in this promotion exam, you group of villains have been divided into four routes."

"Erina, Alice, Higasako, the three of you are assigned to the same carriage, which means that the three of you are a team, and as you can see, your opponent is me, Ringtong Kobayashi! "

"And this time, you are going to compete with me, the top ten."

"And the condition for victory is that you must make delicious dishes to defeat me!"

Xiaolin Gentian said calmly.

"All students who take the promotion exam will be separated. We have expected this for a long time, but I did not expect that my father... would actually be..."

Erina's bright eyes are inevitably a little lost and desperate.

"Hmph, isn't this obviously trying to make things difficult for others?"

"If I can defeat the top ten heroes, why should I take the promotion test?"

Alice Nakiri, who was beside her, was almost going crazy with anger. The first two exams were obviously designed to find various conditions to torture and make things difficult for them. As a result...the next third exam, the methods were even more... Cruel!

"Well, Alice, you can't have this mentality."

"Anyway, let me tell you a little bit about your exam instructions this time. The cooking topic of the exam is cake."

"cake?"

Alice Nakiri was confused for a moment.

Then, she and Erina next to her looked at each other, and then she said: "Erina, I never thought that one day, you and I would join forces to cooperate."

Hearing this, Erina just brushed up her messy hair and responded arrogantly: "Alice, you'd better not hold back when the time comes."

……

night.

Izakaya is open for business.

The crystal clear snapper fillet is as delicate as the peach blossoms in spring.

Under the slight luster, the texture of the fish meat is clearly visible. It is very delicate and light. If you pick up a piece with chopsticks, you can feel the unique elasticity of the fish meat.
