I really can't control myself

When they saw Joichiro Yukihira on the stage, most of the audience didn't recognize him. The status of the world-famous chef is quite high and he often appears in TV newspapers. Therefore, Yukihira Joichiro has aroused doubts among some viewers because he is too unknown.

However, the vast majority of the audience did not say anything. After all, the status of being the second seat of Totsuki Academy was enough to explain a lot of things.

"Hello, Miss Fubuki." Joichiro Yukihira greeted Fubuki, and the atmosphere was quite friendly.

Fubuki nodded slightly. She had to say that she was quite enjoying the Shokugeki these past few days. It can only be said that he is quite adaptable to this food-oriented world.

Fubuki wanted to be a hero before her, so naturally she also liked to enjoy the praise of others. But now, it's also flattering, but it's just replaced by cooking. The world's pursuit of chefs exceeded her imagination. These days, she basically enjoyed the treatment of a top star. This feeling made Fubuki quite enjoy it.

Even the idea that being a chef would be good comes to her mind from time to time, but she also knows that this is a world limit, so she can just enjoy it for a few more days.

"Today's Shoji rules are a bit special." The host here continued, "Both parties have not realized the proposed Shoji theme. Today's Shoji theme will be temporarily decided by the judges on site."

The rules of the Shokugeki are somewhat different these days. Some were proposed by the other party before, and some were proposed by Fubuki himself. It was decided in advance before, but today it was directly changed to a temporary plan.

The reason for this temporary decision was probably because Linton, the contestant Yukihira Joichiro, just came back at midnight yesterday. Yes, Yukihira Joichiro was traveling abroad to learn cooking skills before, but he was called back temporarily. Even if you gave advance notice, he wouldn't be able to make any preparations.

Of course, Linton and the others were notified of the temporary theme selection in advance, so Linton naturally accepted it casually. Anyway, he was not the one participating in the Shoji, and he was not the one who had the headache.

As the saying goes, brag about your own awesomeness, and if you lose, the world will be destroyed.

"Has Mr. Linton thought of any theme?" Nakiri Senzaemon next to him looked at Linton first and asked. Linton is also one of the judges, so Linton's opinion is naturally asked for the theme.

"Whatever." Linton said the most difficult topic in the world, two words that can be called a nightmare.

"Well... then let me think about it." Nakiri Senzaemon thought for a while, and then said, "Okay, I want to eat noodles today."

"Noodles?" The whole audience was stunned. They didn't expect Nakiri Senzaemon to choose such a topic.

"In the past few days, we have been eating all kinds of meat. Today, let's make it simpler and make pasta." Nakiri Senzaemon simply explained, then looked at the other three judges, "What do you think?"

"I think it's pretty good." "Yeah, me too."

The other judges obviously didn't have any opinions, and they didn't dare to refute Nakiri Senzaemon's face. After all, Nakiri Senzaemon's status in the food world is quite high.

"Oh? Speaking of meetings, I have an idea here." Linton suddenly said, "Since you, old man, have proposed a theme, how about I also propose one and let the two of them complete it at the same time? Do you think it would be suitable for a dish that fits the theme proposed by the two of us?”

"Oh? This is a good idea." Nakiri Senzaemon also nodded directly, and both sides proposed a theme. This really feels more fair, "Then, little friend, you can also propose a theme."

"Since your theme is face-to-face, then the theme I proposed is...not face-to-face." Linton said with a smile.

"Huh?" Linton's words stunned all the audience who were listening to the conversation between the two. What does that mean? Play devil's advocate? That's not right. What Linton said just now is that the cuisine should conform to the themes proposed by both parties at the same time. But the question is, are these themes contradictory to each other?

What is face and not face? Is there such a thing? For a moment, everyone couldn't imagine what kind of food this was.

"Non-face? Hahahaha, okay, it is indeed very interesting." Nakiri Senzaemon was also stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst into laughter. He looked at the three judges next to him and asked, "What do you think of this theme?"

"Agree." "It's indeed interesting." The three of them nodded directly.

"What about you, do you agree with this theme?" Nakiri Senzaemon continued to look at Fubuki and Yukihira Joichiro in the middle of the field and asked.

"I have no problem." Yukihira Joichiro agreed directly without much thought, although he didn't have a very formed idea in his mind right now.

"Me too." Fubuki was a little speechless, because she was the only one who knew that Linton was obviously ordering food, okay?

"Then the theme of this Shoji is... noodles, not noodles." The host here also continued, "I now announce that Shoji is the beginning!"

One thing that Shoji did not mention this time was the bet between the two parties, but in fact there was a bet.

Totsuki Academy's request has always been for Fubuki to join the Totsuki Group directly, and their bet is on some economic and profit-related matters. Of course, these things were negotiated between Asuna and the Totsuki Group. Linton didn't really care about the details. After all, he was just here for lunch, and it didn't matter what the other party was betting on.

For the academy, although there are a lot of assets at stake, they are not very important compared to the reputation of the academy that is beginning to collapse. At present, they are under great pressure, but if they can beat Fubuki, she will join the academy, so that the reputation lost before can be earned back naturally, which is why they take it so seriously.

As the competition officially began, the first step for the two was to choose the ingredients.

Originally, most of the food battles between students required the students to prepare the ingredients themselves, and the academy would not provide them. But for Fubuki's food battle this time, the academy promised to provide any ingredients.

After all, Yukihira Joichiro himself only came back at midnight yesterday, so he didn't have time to prepare the ingredients himself, so the academy simply provided them to both sides.

The two went directly to the food area next to them, where many common ingredients were already prepared. Of course, if there were special needs, just tell the staff on site, and they will immediately find a way to prepare them.

"Both sides' contestants have started to choose their ingredients. Let's see what kind of ingredients you two will choose to complete this food battle." The host was also reporting at any time. "Unexpectedly, neither of them reached for flour or other ingredients right away. Instead, they both walked towards the fish and seafood area at the same time!"
