Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Miss Erina, is your body really okay? It's okay to rest and rest... Fei Sazi said to Erina who was about to start practicing again with some worry.

Don't worry! I'm not that delicate yet, and I must hurry up!

pay close attention?

I mean... Hurry up, there will be a group review next month. Fei Shazi, you are the only one who 'returned empty-handed' in this group review, right? Erina said.

I'm really sorry for embarrassing you! Fei Shazi said solemnly.

If you know, you should practice quickly! I don't want to see you fail next time! Erina said.

yes!

Seeing Fei Shazi leaving with a generous expression, Liu Maoxing secretly gave Erina a thumbs up.

If Liu Maoxing came to explain to her, but couldn't tell the reason in the end, Fei Shazi would definitely feel depressed because Liu Maoxing and Erina had something to hide from her...

However, Erina's first move took back the initiative, so that Fei Shazi didn't care about whether Erina had something to hide from her, but immediately went to prepare for the next collective review.

Because of Fei Shazi's admiration for Erina, as long as she is connected with Erina in anything, she will have a sense of honor that is three times higher than ordinary people!

It's as if Fei Shazi run away from home because he couldn't accept it after losing to Ye Shanliang in the official competition of the autumn selection...

To a large extent, it was not because Fei Shazi couldn't accept his failure at the time, but because he couldn't accept that he failed as Erina's assistant!

Hey. Seeing Fei Shazi leave, Erina couldn't help but sigh.

This is something that can't be helped. After all, we can't tell her about the 'catastrophe'. It's also for her own good. Liu Maoxing comforted.

But there are some guys, why don't you tell them? Erina was obviously talking about the Liu family.

Liu Maoxing and Erina couldn't make up their minds about who should disclose the news of the catastrophe and who should keep it secret, so they had to ask Linger again.

Ling'er's answer was beyond their expectations!

Anything you want...but the number of people who know it must be kept within a small range, just make sure that the six 'Dragon Chefs' don't know about it. Linger said.

Huh? Keep them from knowing? Liu Maoxing asked in surprise.

Originally, he and Erina thought that they should try their best to inform them, or try to make them believe it!

Among them, Master Xie, Master Lin Yi, and Cheng Yilang are all okay, the other three... Among them, the two from the Michelin Gourmet Federation and Brahman Tasting Club, it is difficult to believe what Liu Maoxing and Erina said!

As for the sixth Long Chef who was released recently, Liu Maoxing and Erina belonged to the category of uncommunicable people!

That's right, the 'Cursed Kitchenware''s control over the owner is subtle... and it is also 'absolute'! According to previous experience, it is the best way not to let the other party know that he will be controlled. Because in this way , the impact on him is minimal, if he is prepared, not only will he still be unable to resist, but it will cause a series of other unpredictable changes. Linger said.

I think it's best not to notify anyone except the commander-in-chief. Liu Maoxing frowned upon hearing this.

After all, this matter is too unbelievable, unless they see the existence of Ling'er and let Linger tell them in person, the persuasion may be greater...

Unfortunately, except for Liu Maoxing, who has both super vision and super hearing, and Erina himself as the host, no one else can detect the existence of Ling'er.

And the only one who would trust the two of them unconditionally, or trust Erina, and be able to help in this matter, is only Senzaemon!

Others including Fei Shazi, Yu Mei, Xiaohui, Liu Maoyuan and others would also believe Liu Maoxing and Erina, but after telling them, apart from causing panic, it was of no help.

In the hearts of the elders of the Liu family, they must trust Lin Yi and Master Xie more, and there may be a possibility of leaking the news...

Let's go to my grandfather first! There will definitely be times when we need to use Yuanyue's power to cooperate with us. Erina said.

Well, you go to the commander-in-chief, and I'll prepare heart emergency medicine...

Seeing Erina glaring at him, Liu Maoxing couldn't help explaining: The commander-in-chief is quite old, I'm afraid he won't be able to accept such breaking news!

In the end, Erina still had confidence in her grandfather's heart, and took Liu Maoxing directly to Senzaemon's office...

Senzaemon saw Erina pulling Liu Maoxing and bumping in, with a face that seemed unchanged for thousands of years, he also showed some doubts: Huh? Erina, you Is your body all right? Is there... anything?

This, this... let Ah Xing talk to you! Erina didn't know how to speak for a while.

Eh? Why did you suddenly push it to me at this time?

Aren't you a boy? Of course it's up to you! Erina said.

Senzaemon became more and more puzzled and interrupted: What are you talking about? Liu Maoxing, tell me!

This...it's like this! By the way, before I say anything, Commander, please drink a glass of water and calm down. No matter what you hear afterwards, please remain calm.

After Senzaemon heard it, he looked at Liu Maoxing solemnly, and Liu Maoxing didn't know if it was an illusion, why did he always feel that the commander-in-chief seemed to have a certain amount of hostility towards him?

Of course, from Senzaemon's point of view, it was his granddaughter who dragged a boy... and it was also the boy who had a boudoir encounter before the School Festival and hurried into his office.

The two seem to have something important to say, but Erina looks shy and asks Liu Maoxing to talk first...

No matter how you look at it, this is a showdown!

Even more serious accidents may have occurred!

Coupled with Liu Maoxing's current exaggeration, the commander-in-chief has already had some bad associations...

Erina said that you can definitely accept it and don't need other assistance, so I'll just say it...

Liu Maoxing always felt that the eyes of Senzaemon became more and more terrifying.

I think you should know that there is another life form in Erina's body...

When Senzaemon heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and his face, which seemed to have remained unchanged for thousands of years, also turned into a face, and at the same time, a sound of unknown meaning came out of his throat.

Huh? Huh huh huh!

Commander? Commander! Hold on! Really, I said that you should take medicine first for this kind of thing, but Erina insists that it's okay...

Mulumo... Seeing that the whites of the commander-in-chief's eyes had turned up, his mouth was bubbling like a crab.

Erina! The commander-in-chief seems to be dying... Is this just the beginning? It hasn't reached the most exciting place yet! Your old man's endurance is too weak, right?

Liu Maoxing was also very helpless, and Senzaemon's reaction was too big... No! It should be said that the reaction was too fast, right? He hasn't said anything yet!

go to hell!

As soon as Liu Maoxing turned around, he saw a fist rushing towards his nose. Because he knew Erina's nature well, he overcame his body's avoidance reaction and covered his nose pretending to be in pain.

Grandpa! You drink water first, don't listen to Ah Xing's nonsense, what he said about life and taking medicine... are all nonsense! He is talking about my heart...

Erina patted Senzaemon's back while explaining.

To Liu Maoxing's surprise, Senzaemon actually gradually calmed down, and until Erina finished explaining about the Neanderthal curse, Senzaemon never pulled back.

Are you alright? Don't you need to take medicine? Liu Maoxing asked pretending to rub his nose.

Senzaemon gave him an angry look and ignored him.

It wasn't that Senzaemon Taishan collapsed in front of him and didn't change his face, it was because he was frightened by Liu Maoxing before and developed antibodies!

What another life and all because of not taking medicine, Senzaemon felt that the previous news was similar to the end of the world...

It seems that the prophecy of the people of the Liu family is correct, there is really trouble... And there is one thing, I don't know if it has anything to do with what you said, I originally wanted to talk about it at the regular meeting next week. Xian Zuowei The door said solemnly.

What's the matter? Liu Maoxing asked hastily.

The rules of 'The Blue' have changed a bit. Among the contestants who signed up this time, only four teams were shortlisted for the main match...

Does the main match start directly from the semi-finals? Is it too urgent? Liu Maoxing asked doubtfully.

No, there are still eight teams in the main match, but there are four 'shortlisted'.

There are still recommended teams? That's strange. Teams that have entered the main match cannot participate in the second time. That is to say, there should not be seeded players on 'The Blue'.

Indeed, all participating teams, either did not participate in The Blue, or participated but failed to enter the main match, obviously there is no need for recommendation...

There is one more change, that is, there is no restriction on whether you have participated in this registration! Xianzaemon said.

What? Isn't that... Erina said in surprise

Well, when I first heard the news, I was not very optimistic about the performance of the student team. After all, compared with those veteran chefs, you are still a little immature. As for the reason for the reorganization of the competition schedule, I guessed it was because of the 'three major cuisines'. Organization' is bound to win the 'Jade Dragon Pot', so I used this to liberate my strongest combat power...

The strongest fighting force of the three major culinary organizations? Wait! Could it be that the four recommended teams are... Liu Maoxing's pupils shrank suddenly.

That's right, it's the teams of the three major cuisines and the American Development Association, and it has been confirmed from the Liu family that the team of the 'Dragon Chef Alliance' will be led by Master Xie and Master Lin, and even Cheng Yilang has accepted their invitation. Will temporarily join the 'Dragon Chef League Team' during the game!

Then the name of this team really lives up to its name... Liu Maoxing said seriously.

The situation of the other three companies should be similar, and they will all be led by dragon-level cooks. Xianzaemon said.

Mr. Joichiro will participate in 'The Blue' again? Erina asked doubtfully.

Now they also know what happened back then, and with Joichiro's character, it is very strange that he would agree to the invitation of the Dragon Chef Alliance!

Senzaemon heard the words and said: Indeed, I contacted him before, but he told me 'it was just a whim, and I suddenly became interested in Yulong pot'...

It seems that this is the subtle influence of the curse on them!

Without even realizing that there was something wrong with their thinking, the Long chefs made some decisions that did not conform to their original intentions!

It seems that 'Curse' wants to use 'The Blue' as the stage for this 'Great Cataclysm'. Liu Maoxing said.

Grandpa, is there a way to stop or delay the holding of 'The Blue'? Erina asked.

Before Senzaemon could answer, Ling'er's voice sounded first: It's useless, the 'curse' cannot be delayed in this form, and now it's just other 'Dragon Chefs' who have shown dislike for 'Yulong'. If the competition is cancelled, it will only make them take actions that deviate from their own will... In the most serious cases, they will even completely lose their reason as human beings and frantically look for the 'Yulong Guo' , even if it is killed or trapped, it will only make the 'curse' effective for another person.

But isn't the real 'Jade Dragon Pot' still in the seal? What is that 'curse', you can't even tell if the Jade Dragon Pot is real or not? And the 'Jade Dragon Pot' hasn't appeared yet, why is the 'curse' already in effect? Already? Liu Maoxing couldn't help asking.

Although Senzaemon couldn't see Linger, he knew who Liu Maoxing was talking to.

The 'curse' is not considered to have begun, it can only be said to be a prelude... Linger said.

Prelude? In other words, even if we meet other dragon chefs during the competition, as long as we were not dragon chefs and the 'Jade Dragon Pot' hadn't lifted the seal, there wouldn't be a 'Darkness Halberd'?

In theory, it is. But your match will be two months later, right? I can already vaguely hear someone knocking on the 'door'. Linger said.

Knock the door? What door? Liu Maoxing said and glanced at the office door.

At the same time, he reacted immediately!

Wait! Are you talking about... the door of the 'Dragon Level'? Liu Maoxing wondered.

There will be a subtle feeling between the dragon-level cooks, as if it is a door that is completely isolated from ordinary cooks, only the people on the other side of the door will know who has opened the door.

As the first dragon-level cook in history, Ling'er now exists in a special form, so she can see the birth of other dragon-level cooks, but others don't know her existence.

Someone is about to break through? Damn it! What's going on at this time!

It seems that if there are no accidents, whether the world will continue to be peaceful or start to be in turmoil will be decided at this 'The Blue'! Erina said.

Is it only... two months?

No, the schedule of 'The Blue' is long. The preliminaries and the main race are combined, and it is estimated that it will take two months... Calculated in this way, we still have four months. Erina corrected.

Linger interjected at this moment: By the way, since the prelude to the 'curse' has already begun, I believe someone will react soon, you better hurry up.

What's the reaction?

The sealing of the recipe is also a gradual process, and before the 'Dark Food Halberd' occurs, some people will be affected first and become allergic to some ingredients... Linger said.

Some people? That shouldn't be a big problem. Liu Maoxing breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the manifestation of the recipe being sealed is that human beings start to have allergies or side effects to the ingredients, then some people have reactions and suddenly become allergic to some ingredients. There is a war.

Senzaemon finally said: By the way, for this 'The Blue', all chefs can sign up as long as they meet the '24-star system', so this year's 'The Blue' is called 'The Blue'. All Blue'... If you have any needs in 'All Blue', you can directly ask the group, and I will give you the highest authority of the entire Yuanyue Group during the period of 'All Blue'!

Huh? A Xing, what are you doing? Erina noticed that Liu Mao Xing had been rubbing his eyebrows after hearing Senzaemon's words.

It's nothing, I think since the competition is called 'All Blue', it would be more advantageous for me to curl my eyebrows...

Obviously no one present could understand Liu Maoxing's stalk!

And half a month after Liu Maoxing and Erina's special training, the two heard Fei Shazi talk about something, which they speculated had something to do with the curse.

That is Africa south of the Sahara Desert, which is also the least developed area in the world, where food poisoning incidents occur frequently!

At first, other countries thought it was caused by environmental pollution, but later found that there was nothing wrong with the ingredients that poisoned them. It seemed that their physique began to change...

For this reason, the three major culinary organizations also dispatched special support teams to investigate the cause and help the southern African countries as much as possible. Among them, Xinhushou, as the master of medicinal cuisine, was also invited by the Dragon Chef Alliance. I gladly accept that.

'Prelude' refers to this? There are more people than expected, and...how come they are so concentrated? Liu Maoxing realized that he had thought too simply before.

If these people were branched all over the world, as long as most of the recipes were not sealed, the problem would not be a big problem, but now they are concentrated in southern Africa, a large area where it is difficult to eat, and I am afraid it will aggravate the situation there. The situation has deteriorated...

It wasn't enough to eat, but now I can't eat some of it... It's just worse!

Where was the territory of the Neanderthals back then? Liu Maoxing asked doubtfully.

This time it was Erina who answered him...

On the contrary...According to modern research, southern Africa is the birthplace of Homo sapiens! The reason why the prelude starts there should not be due to the geographical reasons, but because in the bodies of other races except for the African aborigines south of the Sahara, There will be 1%-4% of Neanderthal genes, which should be the result of a small number of reproduction. Erina obviously checked the information before.

Although the results of modern archaeology have not discovered the curse nor revealed the true face of ancient civilizations, some basic information is still available.

Neanderthals and Homo sapiens weren't the same species at all, were they?

That's right, it is said that from the remains of Neanderthals discovered in modern times, there should be incomplete reproductive isolation between the two...

The taste is a little heavy...but sometimes heavy taste can save the world. Thanks to all the ancestors who have heavy taste, they helped us buy time! Then, during the time that the ancestors bought, hurry up and get rid of the 'curse'! This time it's too late to delay, even in 'All Blue', nothing happened, I'm afraid our friends in Africa won't be able to hold on for too long...

Recently, you have frequently asked Uncle Xinhu about the speed of deterioration of the incident! I always feel that he doesn't like me for some reason, so I don't ask him.

When Erina heard the words, he gave him a blank look, which made Liu Maoxing baffled for a while...
