Chapter 120

Two days later, on Wednesday, the Moon Festival opened as scheduled.

Gancha and Erina stood together on the castle tower on the top of the mountain, looking at the dense crowd of people at the foot of the mountain and on the school road in the distance.

The early morning wind slowly blows the clouds and fog lingering in the forest of Yuanyue Mountain, and the ends of the girls' long hair are also covered with a thin layer of water vapor.

The guests who come to the open day will turn the chilly late autumn into boiling and lively.

It's still early, but Main Street and Central are already coming alive.

The students are wearing uniforms with the name of the store on them, and are distributing food samples to customers by the side of the road.

Under the big balloon arches, the staff dressed in the costumes of the main characters in cooking comics and special shots pose exaggerated fighting poses, surrounded by extremely excited children.

Such a scene made the two people on the high platform couldn't help but smile.

They went back to the commander-in-chief's office and talked again.

When it was nearly nine o'clock, the two people walked down the majestic castle tower together, accompanied by their respective assistants, and walked towards their simulation shop.

The customer groups faced are different. The main street and the central area open earlier and end earlier. After the turnover report is submitted at [-] o'clock in the evening, they can close.

However, most of the guests in the Linshan area live in Yuanyue Resort, breakfast is provided by the hotel, and some people will go to other areas at the bottom of the mountain at noon, and do not return to the top of the mountain until dinner.

Therefore, after submitting the report, it is the busiest moment when the lights of the Linshan area are lit up.

The simulated stores of Gancha and Erina are only open for lunch and dinner. At this time, I went to prepare for the opening of the store, and the time was just right.

In the center of the restaurant where the river of light flows, the transparent glass kitchen is like an exhibition cabinet in an art museum. The most precious artwork displayed in it is the pleasing every move of the girl who is the chef.

Under everyone's gaze, the purple-haired girl moved in an orderly manner, like flowing clouds and flowing water.Even the diners in the restaurant couldn't help but be convinced by his calm and unhurried attitude when commanding and dispatching other people in the kitchen.

Kohei Joichiro sat at the table, propped his chin, and nodded seriously.

"As expected of my disciple."

The red-haired man had just shown a smug expression when he was glared at by his old friend.

"It would be terrible if it was like you!"

Dojima Gin said dissatisfied.

The camera not far away is working quietly.

Given a rare opportunity, Dojima Gin specially brought along a photographer who specializes in shooting promotional videos for Yuanyue Resort, and wanted to record this livecooking she performed in a professional kitchen.

"It's one of those rare, live-cooking scenes you get."

When Gancha finished the work at hand and walked out of the kitchen to communicate with the diners, seeing her somewhat embarrassed expression, Dojima Gin smiled heartily and patted her head,

"Also, Mr. Fukuzawa and the others just don't have time to come over? It's also a good thing to keep as a souvenir."

"This restaurant has cost you a lot of thought, right? It's quite unique."

The manager of the resort hotel looked at the surrounding layout and praised.

Not only the restaurant, but also the main set menu dishes have won unanimous praise from diners.

"Planet Fantasy Suite..."

Her health improved a little, and Nakiri Magi, who came to participate in the Moon Festival with her husband, thought for a moment, showing a clear expression,

"Let's create a dish inspired by the meaning of each planet in astrology."

That's why there are only seven courses in total, because among the planets, the earth is not included in the scope of astrology.

What was placed in front of her was the fourth course and the main course "Happy Messenger Jupiter".

The snow-white crisp shell is like an extended coral branch, surrounding the dishes on the porcelain plate, faintly revealing a little brilliant color.

When the translucent shell is cracked, the top-quality quail meat is trimmed into delicate and small cubes, which are skillfully stacked together.The crispy skin is like the caramel shell of pudding, and the meat is tender, as if it can ooze out the gravy with just a light touch.

Drizzled on it, the velvety smooth and delicate French white sauce is also dotted with dots of color, which are vanilla and berries to increase the refreshing feeling.

"This crispy shell—"

Compared with the main body of the dishes at a glance, Nagiri is more interested in the snow-white shell as a side dish,

"Did you mix matsutake powder in before frying?"

But soon she vetoed her guess: "No, if this is the case, the taste will not be so crisp, and the flavor of matsutake will overwhelm the sweetness and umami of the food."

"It's made with smoked tapioca flour."

Gan Cha replied with a smile.

Cassava flour has a strong ability to absorb flavors. Before making dishes, it can be processed by smoking to obtain raw materials with matsutake smell.

"In the process of tasting, the crispy shell will slowly absorb the aroma of quail meat and white sauce, allowing the dish to enter the second stage."

Nagini Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, lowered his head, and unexpectedly discovered that there was still a touch of beige-brown hidden in the space in the center of the quail meat.

"It's rooibos tea with pureed almond paste."

Facing the questioning eyes of the two above, the girl explained.

Jupiter's name is "Happy Messenger", so in the process of conception, she also thought about using desserts to express joy.

This is of course the easiest way, after all, sweetness can bring joy and happiness to people.

However, doing so would be too monotonous.

The finally decided dish uses ingredients with different tastes to bring diners a wonderful and interesting experience. From the aroma to the taste, the whole dish hides surprising changes.

Finally, the stable and cozy woody flavor of rooibos tea and almond puree is also very suitable as a happy aftertaste.

The other dishes in the set meal are not inferior to Jupiter as the main course.

There are seven dishes, each of which promotes and enriches the flavor of the previous dish, advancing layer by layer.

At the end, what the diners feel is a delicacy that completely conquers people's body and mind, as if a universe exploded in their brains.

Nakiri Mana put down the knife and fork, closed her eyes to calm down the shock she felt, and sighed.

"This--"

She looked at the girl in front of her with some complicated eyes, and said,

"It can indeed be called a delicacy that has never been seen on earth."

Gan Cha was slightly taken aback, and then couldn't help smiling.

"It's a planetary suite after all," she said.

Even the former commander of the WGO gave such an evaluation. It is expected that the response of this set meal is very good.

Other dishes on the menu are also popular with guests.

"Amazing!"

The fourth day of the Moon Festival.

After closing the shop, Yuan Sumire calculated the total turnover of the day, and showed the tablet computer in front of everyone with shining eyes, "The profit so far has surpassed that of the coffee shop last year."

"Looking at it this way, maybe tomorrow we can break the previous highest record held by Akakubo-senpai."

Ryoko Sakaki also showed a happy expression.

"If that table is also open, today's record will be broken!"

Yuuki bit her cuff and stared at the unused empty table unwillingly.

Gan Cha pretended not to hear anything.

The last day of the Moon Festival falls on a Sunday, and the flow of people is more than ever.

Although it has no effect on the imitation shop of Gancha, which implements a reservation system, when they walked towards the restaurant in the Linshan area together with Zaihara Sumire, the two could not help but be infected by the lively atmosphere. Stopped at the booth for a moment.

"Oh, Hai Laoze!"

Chuangzhen, who just came out to breathe, waved happily to her, and reminded by the way, "Go back to the dormitory after the store closes tonight, don't forget."

What he was talking about was an appointment made by everyone at the same level to hold a celebration party on the last night.

Not only the dormitory students of Pole Star House, but also other third-year students such as Erina, Alice, Kurokiba Ryo and the Aldini brothers will also be present.

For the big meal at the party, the store can be closed at six o'clock. If other people can leave early, they can also come back to help.

"Just wait."

The boy raised the corners of his lips and showed a vigorous smile, "I have come up with a pretty good dish in the past few days. It will definitely surprise you then!"

Gancha laughed.

"is it?"

She raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "Don't fool people with dark dishes."

Saying goodbye to Chuangzhen, the two talked all the way, and walked into the simulation shop, ready to change into chef uniforms and start the last day of work.

In the empty dressing room, Gan Cha tied up her long hair in front of the mirror, but her thoughts drifted back to last night.

"...After tomorrow's party, I have something to tell you."

In the corridor on the third floor, the silver-haired boy rarely showed a bit of discomfort. He clenched his fist and coughed on his lips before speaking as if he had made up his mind.

But those green eyes didn't look away from the beginning to the end, they just kept staring at her.

Gan Cha, who didn't care about it at first and wanted to say "Ye Shanjun can say it now" with a smile, after a brief daze, understood the meaning in the boy's eyes.

——When did this happen?

"senior?"

Za Yuanjin tilted his head to look at her suspiciously, "It's almost time."

"Are you worried about the party?"

She thought for a while and suggested, "Whether it's counting the total turnover or packing up tools, leave it to me."

"After closing, senpai, Sakaki-senpai and Yoshino-senpai are together, just go back directly!"

Gan Cha hid the complicated emotions in his eyes, and smiled at the caring junior in front of him.

"Well, I'll trouble you then."

she said softly.

Finally, reconfirming the safety of the members of the detective agency with supernatural powers, Gancha put the mobile phone in the locker, and left the dressing room with Sumire Zaihara who was waiting for her.

With a click, the hands of the clock pointed to the hour, the bell tower in the distance struck nine times, and the geese fluttered across the pale blue sky.

At the same time, the uncatchable signal was quietly transmitted to a hidden underground facility somewhere in Europe.

This is the legendary secret prison, "Meursault", which is used to guard the heinous supernatural criminals.

The specific location here is only known to the dignitaries of the European authorities. Even the guards in the monitoring room used special means to conceal their perception when entering to prevent them from leaking information and communicating with the outside world.

In the enclosed vast space, there are large and small transparent rooms that have no contact with the surroundings.

When the prisoners in white prison uniforms are in it, all actions can be seen at a glance.

Fyodor was sitting on the simple single bed, his hand flipping through the book paused slightly.

—Is it time yet?

He closed the book and thought to himself.

He seemed to be in a daze for a moment, and then stretched out his slender fingers, as if trying to overturn a chess piece on the chessboard, and pushed down the stack of books stacked beside him, the top one.

The hardcover hardcover book fell on the transparent ground at his feet, making a dull clacking sound.

The tense guards immediately stared at the screen even more nervously, closely monitoring his movements.

But the vigilant young man made no other disturbing movements.

He just lowered his head and opened the book on his lap again.

Smooth black hair fell on both sides of the cheeks, and the young man's slightly pale lips evoked a smile.

"It's time to start."

he said softly.
