"Erina!"
Nakiri Senzaemon looked at his lost granddaughter and said excitedly.
"grandfather!"
Nakiri Erina looked at her grandfather who was equally excited. Tears filled her eyes, and then...
Vomited!
"Well!"
Nakiri Erina pushed away her grandfather who wanted to hug her and spat it out.
Yan Kai appeared next to Nakiri Erina at some point, holding a basin in his hand. When Nakiri Erina spit out the filth, he stretched out the basin to catch the filth.
This is his house. If Nakiri Erina stains it, he will be the one to clean it. Of course, he cannot let Nakiri Erina spit on the ground.
"Erina, what's wrong with you?"
Nakiri Senzaemon asked with concern.
"I don't know, maybe it's because tonight's dinner is not to my liking."
Yan Kai thought for a while and said.
Nakiri Erina, who had vomited a bunch of filth, just felt a little better. After hearing Yan Kai's words, she couldn't help but vomit one more mouthful.
"You see, Miss Erina vomited even more when I mentioned dinner, so it must be a problem with dinner."
Yan Kai spoke categorically.
"Yes, is that so?"
Nakiri Senzaemon felt that Nakiri Thistle might embarrass Nakiri Erina in other ways, but it was impossible to treat Erina harshly in terms of food, right?
But what Yan Kai said makes sense...
After Nakiri Erina finished vomiting, Yan Kai took out a tissue and handed it to her. After taking it, Nakiri Erina did not immediately wipe the dirt around her mouth, but glared at Yan Kai fiercely.
"You're welcome."
Yan Kai said to Nakiri Erina very calmly.
Thank you mom! Aren’t you the one who caused me to be like this?
Nakiri Erina remembered that she was dragged by Yan Kai and ran like a kite. The cold wind blew into her mouth and the surrounding scenes flew by. Her eyes became very tired because of this. The combination of these series of factors was the reason why she couldn't help but vomit, And all this was because of Yan Kai, how could he still have the nerve to push the matter to her dinner? Her dinner is very appetizing!
Yan Kai said to Nakiri Senzaemon: "Old Mr. Nakiri should have a lot to say with Miss Erina. I won't be here to hinder you. You can chat slowly."
Get out of here!
Nakiri Erina's stomach was still a little uncomfortable, otherwise she would have really wanted to scold Yankai directly.
"Thank you Yan Sang!"
Nakiri Senzaemon bowed and thanked Yan Kai. After all, Yan Kai rescued his beloved granddaughter and lent the venue for them to get together.
Yan Kai walked out of the house and closed the door. He was not interested in eavesdropping on what the two were saying inside, and went directly to the practice room upstairs, thinking that Chitong had not been beaten to death by Esdeath not long after he left.
After Yan Kai left, Nakiri Senzaemon looked at Nakiri Erina, whose face was still a little pale, and sighed: "Erina, I've suffered so much for you!"
"Grandpa, I'm sorry!"
Nakiri Erina bowed heavily to Nakiri Senzaemon, with her legs and waist forming a standard ninety degrees.
"Sorry for what?"
Nakiri Senzaemon asked.
"I threw away the academy..."
During the ninety-degree bow, Erina Nakiri shed tears of reluctance. The tears fell directly on the floor, and by the way, Yan Kai was given the task of mopping the floor.
"Erina." Nakiri Senzaemon said to Nakiri Erina solemnly, "If something can be easily snatched away, it only means that it has never been in our hands."
"grandfather?"
Nakiri Erina raised her head, not understanding the meaning of Nakiri Senzaemon's words.
Totsuki Academy is the ancestral property of the Nakiri family, how could it not be theirs?
"Come on, Erina, let's sit."
Nakiri Senzaemon pulled out two chairs and said to Nakiri Erina.
After the two sat down together, Nakiri Senzaemon said to Nakiri Erina: "Erina, let me ask you, how many students are there in Totsuki now?"
"Well..." Nakiri Erina only thought for a moment and quickly gave the answer, "There are seven hundred and two in total, including 622 in the first grade, 59 in the second grade, and 21 in the third grade. name."
"Very good, Erina, you did a good job." Nakiri Senzaemon smiled, and then asked, "So how many students have Totsuki expelled as of this year?"
Nakiri Erina was speechless: "This..."
She really didn't remember this. After all, Yuanyue has always valued only outstanding students who are promising to graduate. Expelled students have never been the ones she needs to pay attention to.
Nakiri Senzaemon shook his head: "Don't say you don't know. To be honest, even I don't know, because I have never paid attention to this issue. I only slightly remember the number of first-year students during residential training. It seems to be 980 people, which means that from before the residential training to now, we have expelled at least 358 students, and this is just because they cannot keep up with Totsuki's standards."
"But Totsuki has always been like this!" Nakiri Erina said, "It was the same last year. One hundred and ninety students took the promotion exam, and only seventy-six students passed. And the number of freshmen enrolled that year was Eight hundred and twelve, that is to say, less than 10% of students are promoted to second grade. This single-digit promotion rate and graduation rate of less than 1% have always been Totsuki's tradition! "
"So, Totsuki has been ill a long time ago." Nakiri Senzaemon sighed deeply, "I handed the terminally ill Totsuki into your hands, and then Totsuki died, you said I Can all the faults in this be blamed on you?"
"grandfather……"
Nakiri Erina heard deep self-blame in Nakiri Senzaemon's words.
Nakiri Senzaemon stared at Nakiri Erina and said: "Erina, you are not wrong. If there is anything wrong with you, it is that you believe in Totsuki's old tradition and feel that as long as it is strictly implemented, it is no longer appropriate. The tradition of Yuanyue will continue to be glorious. As a decision-maker, you did not change the system according to the changing circumstances. This is your biggest mistake!"
Nakiri Senzaemon spoke seriously and sincerely, but Nakiri Erina still looked confused.
It was difficult for her to understand what Nakiri Senzaemon said, because in the education she received since she was a child, Totsuki was to cultivate first-class cooks, and the students who were expelled were all because they were not good enough and could not follow With Shangyue Yue's pace, he deserves to be eliminated.
Seeing the confusion on Nakiri Erina's face, Nakiri Senzaemon secretly shook his head in his heart. Sure enough, it was not Nakiri Erina who realized that forcing his own ideas into Nakiri Erina would not work, but like Nakiri Thistle To force Nakiri Erina to accept it directly is something Nakiri Senzaemon cannot possibly do.
"Erina, you will understand this later. All you need to do now is wait."
Nakiri Senzaemon said to Nakiri Erina.
"Wait? Wait for what?"
Nakiri Erina asked.
"Waiting for the students to decide the winner."
Nakiri Senzaemon stood up and said.
"I know Ji's philosophy very well. In the past, I built Yuanyue into a warring country with endless disputes, using endless struggles to hone and select outstanding students. But Ji is different. What he wants is a school centered on him. , Totsuki of absolute order.”
Nakiri Senzaemon was pacing in front of Nakiri Erina.
"Totsuki of Absolute Order?"
Nakiri Erina asked doubtfully.
"Yes, Totsuki of Absolute Order." Nakiri Senzaemon nodded, and then explained to Nakiri Erina, "Select a very small number of outstanding students to form a group, and all research and development on cooking can only be carried out by that team. , all other students can only learn the recipes developed by that group. He proposed such a reform to me a long time ago, but I did not agree. He is a very paranoid person. Even after so many years, the concept should be the same. There will be no changes, so this time he wins the academy, he will definitely implement similar reforms in the academy."
"Absolute order..." Nakiri Erina just thought about it for a moment, and immediately felt a creepy feeling, "Isn't this, isn't this completely contrary to Totsuki's original philosophy!"
The original Totsuki was the Warring States Period, and all students competed with each other. Nakiri Senzaemon firmly believed that jade would shine brightest only when it collided, but if Nakiri Thistle began to implement his own ideas, then Totsuki would It will become a school with polarization and permanently solidified classes. Only a few people can continuously improve their cooking skills, and other students can only be reduced to assembly line workers, forever inferior to those who have the power to study cooking skills.
What is the biggest feature of Yuanyue? It's "Shiji"!
What is the biggest charm of "Shokuji"? It’s “the lower overcomes the upper”!
Once the concept of Nagi Kiri Thistle is implemented, Totsuki's traditional "shokuji" will also disappear. Without the "shokuji", will Totsuki still be Totsuki?
"Grandpa, we must stop father!"
Nakiri Erina said excitedly that she was the ultimate product of Totsuki's original education policy. She recognized Totsuki's system from the bottom of her heart and absolutely did not want Totsuki to become what Nakiri Erina imagined.
"Erina, calm down." Nakiri Senzaemon said solemnly.
"Yes, Grandpa." Although Nakiri Erina agreed, her chest still kept rising and falling, showing that her emotions had not relaxed.
After asking Erina to calm down, Nakiri Senzaemon said to Nakiri Erina: "It is not us who can stop Thistle, but the students."
"students?"
Nakiri Erina showed a confused expression again.
"That's right." Nakiri Senzaemon nodded, "Once Thistle spreads his ideas in the academy, there will be people who are dissatisfied with his ideas. They are the only ones who can stop Thistle."
"Let the opposing students stop my father?" Nakiri Erina became excited again, "Grandpa, those who support my father are six of the 'Ten Elites'! And one and two are among them. How can any student be able to do so?" There is someone who can defeat them!”
In her eyes, Totsuki students only have the "Ten Elites", but now most of the "Ten Elites" have joined Nakiri Thistle's camp, relying on other ordinary students to defeat the "Ten Elite Council" led by Nakiri Thistle. "It's also impossible.
"No matter what the final result is, I will accept the result."
Nakiri Senzaemon sat back in his chair, folded his arms and said.
Rather than trusting his students, he is now trying to break the pot and not look back until he hits the wall.
The "Top Ten" students were carefully selected by him. Wouldn't he know the difference between ordinary students and members of the "Top Ten"? Letting ordinary students fight against members of the "Top Ten" would only result in a bloody head-on collision, but he still had to gamble.
"grandfather!"
Nakiri Erina said loudly.
"Erina." Nakiri Senzaemon repeated to Nakiri Erina what he had said to Yan Kai not long ago, "Totsuki is the students' Totsuki. What kind of academy do the students want to have?" Academy, this is something I haven’t figured out after thinking about it all last night and all day today. Since I can’t think of it, let me see how the students will choose, whether to stand up and resist, or just succumb to it. Ji, I want to know the result at any cost!"
"..." Nakiri Erina.
My father had one plan, and grandpa had another plan. Why are they all so stubborn!
Nakiri Erina felt like she was going crazy.
When Nakiri Erina was going crazy with a headache, Nakiri Senzaemon shouted to the ceiling: "Yan-san, can you hear me? Could you please come over here?"
After shouting, he began to wait patiently, because he knew that Yan Kai would be able to hear it.
And Yan Kai did not let Nakiri Senzaemon wait any longer. In less than a minute, the door of the room opened, and Yan Kai walked in and asked: "Mr. Nakiri, what's the matter?"
Nakiri Senzaemon stood up and said: "It's getting late. I've been bothering you for a long time. It's time to say goodbye."
"That's right, then I'll send you and Miss Erina off."
Yan Kai nodded.
Finally, he could see off the guests, and he could do his own thing with peace of mind.
Unexpectedly, Nakiri Senzaemon shook his head and said: "I'm just leaving, Yan-san, if Erina is missing, Thistle will definitely find me. I don't want to get entangled with him at the moment, so Erina should stay with you for the time being. .”
"ah?"
Yan Kai and Nakiri Erina exclaimed at the same time.
Nakiri Senzaemon explained: "There is no way. It seems that Ji has paid a lot of money to hire a lot of powerful masters. Since I can ask Yan-san to rescue Erina, then Ji can also send masters to snatch Erina from me." Come on, he is Erina’s father, and he has this power, so I can only leave Erina with you, and Thistle can’t take Erina away. This is the place of the Three Extremes Sect, and I think there are few places like it in Tokyo. Is this a safer place?"
"Yan Sang, when the school affairs are settled and I have fully won Erina's custody rights, I will naturally come to take Erina away. Don't worry."
Nakiri Senzaemon comforted Yan Kaidao.
Who knows how long your bad school affairs will last, and how long your lawsuit will last. What do you mean by leaving a Bodhisattva here with me?
Yan Kai wanted to say this, but after a moment of silence, he nodded slowly: "Okay."
Think of it as repaying a favor to her father. The "tranced" female master who used to monitor Nakiri Erina, even if Yan Kai took it, she lay down instantly, but ordinary masters are really no match for her. If Nakiri Erina follows It's really easy to get caught next to Nakiri Senzaemon.
"I do not want!"
Nakiri Erina firmly opposed it. She didn't want to live with this Central Plains man who only made people angry!
Because of the excitement in her heart, Nakiri Erina made a loud noise, and even Ah Ku, who was already asleep, was awakened. It walked out of Yan Kai's room on two legs and met eyes with Nakiri Erina in the living room. .
"Woof?"
After Nakiri Senzaemon left, Nakiri Erina hugged Aku and said fiercely to Yankai: "I'm warning you, don't come near my room, and I will sleep with him at night!"
"..." Yan Kai and the speechless Ah Jiu looked at each other, then nodded and said, "Okay, okay, it's not too early for you, so you should get ready for bed. By the way, what do you want to eat for breakfast tomorrow?"
Since Erina Nakiri wants to live here, I should also cook three meals a day for her. She doesn’t have a big appetite anyway, so she shouldn’t be able to eat much.
"Spread the caviar on the bread. The foie gras you had today will be a different flavor tomorrow. The caviar doesn't have to be too good, just Ocetra caviar (about $40 per ten grams)."
Nakiri Erina said helplessly that now that she is away from home, she is ready for a hard life.
"..." Yan Kai.
Who is it? Please help us get this Bodhisattva away!
