Yan Kai disdains "The Blue" World Cooking Championship, but for others, especially the students of Yuanyue, the invitation from "The Blue" has an irresistible magic power.
This year's "The Blue" is held in Japan. As one of the "ten outstanding students" of Totsuki Academy, Japan's number one culinary school, Tadokoroe naturally received an invitation to the competition. Although Takomi is one of the eight, He ranked low among the "Top Ten", but maybe because of someone from his hometown, he also got an invitation to "The Blue".
Needless to say, Yukihira Soma, as early as the night of the fireworks festival, he received the invitation letter from his father Yukihira Joichiro.
However, the invitation letters from the three of them are the most basic invitation letters, and they must pass two tests before they can enter the official competition. As for Nakiri Erina, as the commander-in-chief of Totsuki, she was also invited to participate as a seed player just like Yan Kai. "The Blue" World Culinary Championship.
However, unlike Yan Kai, Nakiri Erina, as the commander-in-chief of Totsuki, has the obligation to maintain Totsuki's reputation in the cooking world. For a cooking competition like "The Blue", which is the first echelon in the cooking world, she is naturally obligated to do so. She participated in "The Blue", but on the "The Blue" competition field, she met someone who surprised her - Chaoyang Zaiba who was supposed to be in prison!
As the leader of the "Late Night Cooker" and with a glorious record of defeating the legendary cooking talent Ichiro Nami, Saiba Asahi of course also received an invitation from "The Blue" and also qualified as a seed player. He is also the favorite to win the competition.
Before the start of the game, the favorite had to be absent, which would undoubtedly greatly reduce the excitement of the game. Therefore, before the start of the game, "WGO" used its strong connections and spent a sky-high bail money to get Caibo Chaoyang out of the game. out.
The person responsible for all this is the special executive officer of "WGO"-Nakiri Shinagi.
That's right, it's Nakiri Erina's mother. She is now the special executive of "WGO" and the top judge of "The Blue" competition. Even "The Blue" is her search for something that has never been found in the world. organized for the cuisine.
Caibo Chaoyang is the favorite to win "The Blue", and he is also the person she has high hopes for. Naturally, she will not let Caibo Chaoyang miss the "The Blue" competition by squatting in the game.
When Nakiri Erina knew that it was her mother who bailed Saiba Asahi out of the police station, even Nito Hisako, who was closest to Nakiri Erina, did not know what Nakiri Erina was thinking at that time. How to be angry.
The man who he regarded as his father was interceding for the criminal who kidnapped him. His blood mother directly bailed the criminal who kidnapped him from the police station...
The double betrayal made Erina Nakiri exude the aura of keeping strangers away throughout the game, looking like an "Ice Queen".
In order to let her mother know her mistake, and to repay Saiba Chaoyang for being rude to her before, Nakiri Erina decided that she would keep winning, defeat Saiba Chaoyang, and win the "The Blue" competition. , let her mother know that her choice was wrong!
"Then what? Erina, did you win that thing? Did you show up to Asahi?"
In Mingshan Apartment, Nakiri Erina's room, Kasumigaoka Shiwa asked Nakiri Erina.
This house was exactly the house that Nakiri Erina lived in temporarily when she escaped from Nakiri Thistle. Later, Nakiri Erina took back the position of commander-in-chief, but because of the "BUG" promised by Yan Kai, Nakiri Erina She still comes here to stay for two days every once in a while. Compared to the magnificent Nakiri residence, this "small" house makes Nakiri Erina feel safer and more at ease.
After the "The Blue" competition, Nakiri Erina was extremely exhausted both physically and mentally. She did not choose to go back to her Nakiri residence in Totsuki Academy, but returned to the Mingshan Apartment, which was like a safe haven. house.
Kasumigaoka Shiha knew that Erina Nakiri was going to compete, so she was naturally concerned about the outcome of the competition, so she came to talk to Erina Nakiri about the "The Blue" competition.
"..." Nakiri Erina shook her head. When Kasumigaoka Shiu thought that Nakiri Erina had lost to that evil man, Naomi Asahi, and showed regret, Nakiri Erina added, "I didn't go with him. In a head-to-head match, he lost to Xiao Hui before the semifinals.”
"..."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu had an inexplicable look on her face.
That's it? Does this mean you are called the favorite to win the championship? I don’t know if anyone uses the “The Blue” competition to bet on the handicap. If so, then there should be many people going to the rooftop recently, right?
Seeing Kasumigaoka Shiha's strange face, Nakiri Erina explained: "I have heard before that Saiha Chaoyang defeated Saiha-sama... who is the father of Yukihira Soma, so I have always regarded him as my biggest enemy. , and at the same time I feel pity for Xiao Hui’s luck, if she hadn’t faced Caibo Chaoyang, she should have been able to go further.”
"Even Xiaohui herself had no expectations for herself and was so nervous at the beginning of the game."
"But after the game started for a while, senior Liu, who was Xiao Hui's master, came to watch the game as an audience. After watching the process of Caibo Chaoyang making the food, he shouted to Xiao Hui from the audience to let him There is no need to panic, Xiao Hui, as long as Xiao Hui performs as usual, it is absolutely impossible for Caibo Chaoyang to defeat her."
Kasumigaoka Shiha was puzzled after hearing what Nakiri Erina said: "Why would Xiaomei's master say that? Shouldn't that Saiba Asahi be very strong?"
At the time, she heard Nakiri Erina say that Saiba Asahi lost to Taboko and thought it was because of his carelessness. But after hearing what Nakiri Erina said, it was a completely overwhelming victory for Taboko!
Nakiri Erina also had deep doubts on her face: "I asked Senior Liu afterwards, and he told me that Saiba Asahi undoubtedly has a very high talent. He can deduce other people's cooking skills through other people's kitchen utensils. And use it skillfully, so that fighting him is equivalent to competing with countless outstanding cooks at the same time, which is really tricky."
After a pause, Nakiri Erina said in a serious tone: "But, it's only for a second-rate cook!"
"Um, what do you mean?"
Kasumigaoka Shiha couldn't understand the meaning of Nakiri Erina's words.
Nakiri Erina shook her head: "I don't know either. Senior Liu said so much and then went to rest. He is old and spent a lot of energy watching Xiaohui's game. I can't pester him no matter what. Let it go?"
"That's true." Kasumigaoka Shiyu nodded.
Uncle Liu is over ninety years old. For an old man of this age, it is already remarkable that he can walk without help. It would be too much to ask him for more.
"Wait, it's not convenient for you to continue questioning Xiaohui's master, but you can ask your junior, what he should know!"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu suddenly thought of Yan Kai, and then immediately ran to the door of Yan Kai's house and pushed the door open.
"Junior, I have a question for you!"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't regard herself as an outsider at all. She entered Yan Kai's house without knocking and started shouting as soon as she entered.
Yan Kai poked his head out of the study with a helpless face: "What's the matter?"
"When Erina comes back from the competition, you don't even know how to come and care about her. It's too much!"
Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu first gave Yan Kai a hat.
"Senior, Erina has finished the competition. What do I have to care about? I'm busy here..."
Yan Kai scratched his head with the tip of the paintbrush, his face full of distress.
Some time ago, after thinking for a long time, Kindaichi agreed to Yan Kai's request and told Yan Kai some of the cases he had solved in the past. However, he repeatedly emphasized that Yan Kai should be careful when drawing comics and not distort. The story behind the case may cause secondary harm to those who experienced the case.
Yan Kai naturally agreed wholeheartedly, but he was currently having a headache conceiving the plot of the case. He didn't even notice that Nakiri Erina was back.
"I don't care, come here anyway, Erina has some questions to ask you!"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu started to act recklessly.
"What is the problem?"
Yan Kai didn't really want to abandon comics for some boring questions.
"It was some of Grandpa Liu's words that caused Erina to have problems."
Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu said to Yan Kaidao.
"What did Uncle Liu say?" Upon hearing that the matter was related to Uncle Liu, Yan Kai became interested and walked out of the study, "Okay, let me hear Erina's question."
Arriving at Nakiri Erina's house, Yan Kai asked Nakiri Erina about the situation in detail, then touched his chin and said: "I see, I understand..."
Nakiri Erina frowned and couldn't help but said: "Now that you understand, you should explain it clearly!"
Just saying that you understand it without explaining it, is this trying to tantalize people? This bad guy!
Yan Kai smiled and didn't care about Nakiri Erina's attitude. She had a bad temper to begin with, and now she was in a very bad mood. If she continued to tease her, it might cause her to explode emotionally, so Yan Kai explained: "You said before, Saiba Chaoyang has the ability to use the kitchen utensils commonly used by chefs to deduce their cooking skills and use them flexibly, right?"
"right."
Nakiri Erina nodded.
"You know my uncle, right?" Yan Kai said to Nakiri Erina.
"Of course I know, Teacher Xin!"
Nakiri Erina said a little dissatisfied.
"My uncle is extremely talented. When he was young, he could deduce other people's martial arts at a glance and imitate them very closely." Yan Kai said to Nakiri Erina and Kasumigaoka Shiwa.
"Isn't this just like Caibo Chaoyang!"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu said in surprise.
"I can't say it's exactly the same, but almost."
Yan Kai nodded.
"It turns out that Teacher Xin has been so good since early on!"
Nakiri Erina also sighed.
Being able to learn other people's martial arts by just looking at them is almost the same as "writing O eyes".
"Awesome?" Yan Kai couldn't help but sneer, "You definitely don't know what my grandfather said about my uncle at that time."
"What else could it be? It must be a genius!"
Nakiri Erina said without thinking.
"No, I don't know what it means."
Yan Kai's answer surprised both Nakiri Erina and Kasumigaoka Shiu.
"How can you really..."
Both Nakiri Erina and Kasumigaoka Shiu were surprised by Grandpa Yankai’s evaluation of Xue Wenhai.
"Whether it is martial arts or cooking, they actually all pay attention to a whole and harmony. In martial arts, too many and too complicated moves are a fatal flaw, but in cooking, it is equally easy to use too many different styles of techniques without prioritizing them. .”
Yan Kai thought for a while and gave an example: "It's like a person going for plastic surgery. He picked the most famous part of the face of the most famous handsome man in the world and had it done. After the plastic surgery, do you think he will surpass those? As a model of a handsome man?"
Kasumigaoka Shiu and Nakiri Erina thought about it carefully, and finally shook their heads with strange expressions.
This scene, just imagining it, makes you feel full of dissonance.
"That's what Caibo Chaoyang is like. Even if he can use other people's cooking skills, what can he do? He can walk into others, but it's difficult to walk out of others. His skills can at most reach the level of the original owner of the kitchen utensils, but what does that mean? Use? The cooking competition is about depth, not breadth!"
"My uncle was like this at the beginning. He could defeat those who were similar to or even slightly stronger than him with his various moves. But once he met someone with a higher level of martial arts than him, he would be defeated even more than those with similar martial arts skills to him. People who are similar are much faster.”
"After my uncle was evaluated like this by my grandfather, he spent more than two years traveling in the Central Plains, fighting with masters from various sects. During the fight, he no longer imitated their martial arts, but incorporated the essence of their martial arts into his own. Here, we finally created our own martial arts with Wudang's "Tai Chi Essence" as the core."
"According to your description Erina, Saiba Chaoyang has the cooking skills of countless other chefs, but does not have the core to integrate them. How can he be undefeated when he meets Xiao Hui!"
"I thought the leader of the 'Late Night Cooker' was some kind of powerful person, but he turned out to be such an empty guy..."
Yan Kai shook his head.
"Then how did he defeat Master Caibo?"
Nakiri Erina said strangely.
If Chaoyang Zaiba was really so unbearable, how did he defeat Chaoyang Zaiba, the "strongest cook" in the hearts of many people?
"I'm afraid this is a problem with the judges." Yan Kai thought for a while and said, "Dishes cooked with multiple techniques are really confusing, especially since Zaiha Chaoyang is a disciple of Soma Yukihira's father. The imitation of skills is probably the most profound. The cooking skills of Soma Yukihira's father are mainly used, supplemented by the cooking skills of other chefs. In this way, it is like two Yukihira Joichiro are fighting, and there are countless others behind one of them. A helper, Yukihira Joichiro without a helper will naturally lose to the one with a helper. But this is just a battle of 'forms'. The real 'god' is unique and impossible to imitate. There are no two identical leaves in the world. It is impossible for two chefs to be exactly the same. Eighty percent of the judges in that cooking showdown only evaluated the 'form', but did not go into the 'spirit' of the dishes, so they judged Heijo Ichiro as the loser, and 'The The judges of the Blue' competition are quite qualified, and they can naturally taste things beyond the 'form' of the food."
This Saiba Asahi, to put it bluntly, is a super-enhanced Mimasaku Subaru. He can dominate the second-rate chefs and form an overwhelming strength, but when it comes to the field of first-rate chefs that are involved in "gods", he has not even scratched the surface.
"By the way, even the favorite to win was defeated by Xiao Hui, so the winner of 'The Blue' should be one of you or Xiao Hui, right?"
Yan Kai said to Nakiri Erina.
There is not much difference in the cooking skills between Tadokoro Megumi and Nakiri Erina, so it is possible for either one to win.
"It wasn't us, we were eliminated in the semi-finals." Nakiri Erina shook her head.
"Even Caibo Chaoyang lost to Xiao Hui, who can eliminate you?"
Yan Kai said in surprise.
"There are two cooks from China who traveled to Japan. One is named Liao Jie and the other is named Long Kunbao. I lost to Liao Jie and Xiaohui lost to Long Kunbao."
Hearing Nakiri Erina's answer, Yan Kai was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
Nakiri Erina frowned, it was already heartbreaking that she lost the game, but Yan Kai actually laughed at her, which made her so angry that she wanted to stab Yan Kai's villain again at night.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu also looked at Yan Kai with dissatisfaction: "Junior, it's sad enough that Erina lost the competition, how can you still laugh at her!"
"It's nothing..." Yan Kai waved his hand, and then said seriously, "I can only say that if you lose to the two of them, you and Xiao Hui will not lose unfairly!"
