Yokohama Cuisine Event Book

The ancient rough porcelain teacup was held in a pair of slender white hands, and the reddish-brown Earl Gray tea was slightly rippling.The looming scent of citrus lingers in the lounge.

Through the steaming mist, the girl with smoky purple hair focused on watching the game broadcast on the TV screen.

"My goal is the top. A person who is doing his best to keep the second place cannot be my opponent."

After winning the victory, the silver-haired boy passed by the stunned pink-haired girl, and said mercilessly: "Everything about you is too narrow."

Looking at Hisako Nido, Nakiri Erina's loyal little secretary, who opened her eyes wide on the screen, Kancha sighed.

Xinhu’s soft-shelled turtle burger is indeed lacking. If she were to come here, she would definitely consider the diner’s demand for a refreshing taste, and reconsider the seasoning of the steak; One off.

——But it would be too much to deny everything about others, Ha San-kun.

The girl lowered her eyelashes, took a sip of tea, then turned to the gray door of the lounge, and said calmly, "The door is unlocked, come in."

The rustling at the door suddenly stopped.A moment later, the doorknob was moved, and the tall Subaru Misaku appeared there.

Misaku Subaru stood there, looking at the girl whom he was unilaterally familiar with, but this was the first time he had actually met him.The scene of challenging the opponent had obviously happened many times in the past, but looking at the petite and slender girl sitting on the sofa, at this moment he felt a little uneasy.

——Is it because of insufficient information?

As if wanting to add a little bit of confidence to himself, Misaku raised his voice and read out the information he had about the girl.

"Eilao Zegancha, the cooking creativity is bold and unrestrained, and in practice, it can rely on delicate techniques to achieve the balance and harmony of conflicting styles. During the training, the dishes I made were pan-fried duck breast with Riesling orange sauce and soft fried shrimp egg dumplings."

"Height 159 cm, weight 42 kg, blood type B, the rate of leave and absenteeism in junior high school was as high as 50%, the frequency of receiving love letters was three times a week, and I was confessed at least once a month."

"Do you even have to collect this kind of information?"

The girl who quietly listened to his words couldn't help casting weird eyes.

Such a calm gesture made Subaru Misaka grit his teeth.He went on:

"My mother is Ebizawa Riko, a gourmet consultant, and my father is the famous painter Ogito Yukimura. He passed away eight years ago. He is currently adopted. The family runs a detective agency and works in the coffee shop downstairs. He is very popular in the entire commercial street. "

"I go to the Central Unloading Market twice a week to exercise my eyesight. I have been to more than [-]% of the restaurants in Yokohama. Other than that, the most frequent place I go to is the seaside."

The girl nodded expressionlessly.

"There is no problem so far, because it is the information given to you by the intelligence dealer. What do you want to say?"

"The most cherished thing is the kitchen knife left by the deceased mother. It is the kitchen knife you use now."

The tall Misaku Subaru gave a slightly malicious smile.

"I want to ask you a question, Ebi Zegancha."

"Holding mother's kitchen knife, but doing nothing to be a detective; you don't seem to be concentrating on cooking at all. Are you still a cook?"

"Or - you don't feel at all that you are ashamed of your parents?"

The arc of the girl's lips suddenly flattened.

The hand on the knee suddenly clenched into a fist, and the manicured nails sank deeply into the palm.

That’s not the case at all about the kitchen knife. She uses the same knife that the president ordered for her and is the same model as her mother; what she cherishes most, of course, is not the knife that can be replaced when it is worn out, but the current family ——President He Ranpo;

As for concentrating or giving up cooking, this kind of thing is always as long as she is happy, and her parents can only support them when they are alive.Misaku's self-righteous provocation is actually impossible to achieve the effect he imagined.

But his words opened a deeper, painful magic box in his heart——

At the moment when the power was awakened, she watched the two rivers of light flowing on the photo turn into stars and shatter.

It was clearly the ability to save lives, but it failed to prevent the death of the parents.The only one she saved was herself.

guilty?

If she had awakened her abilities earlier, if she understood the meaning of what she saw, if...

How many nights after that, she couldn't help asking herself, why wasn't she with them then?Why was she the only one left?

The things in front of her shook, and she felt that she seemed to be trembling slightly.

—I thought I had already done a lot.

She thought a little self-deprecatingly.

But some people are still chattering: "You became a detective because the person who adopted you opened a detective agency, right? Giving up your talent and betraying your parents is just to please the current guardian. It seems that the people over there are nothing—" "

"enough."

Gan Cha's face suddenly darkened.

Ha, the prey is finally about to be caught, and it is time to chase after him, how could he listen to you?

Misaku Subaru looked happily at the girl who was finally aroused: "Use your kitchen knife as a bet, how about having a halberd with me—"

But when he saw those burning vine-purple eyes, Misaku suddenly gasped for breath and couldn't say anything.

The greatest fear he had ever experienced hit him, he couldn't move, he could only stand there, watching himself being submerged powerlessly.

A row of white dome lights are lit in the center of the arched dome, and there is a majestic light in the passage.

But in the eyes of Hisako Niito today, the world is nothing but darkness with no direction.

Losing to someone other than Erina-sama, her goal was also denied by her opponent... She didn't know what else she could do now, and whether she was qualified to stand beside Erina-sama.

The girl with short pink hair walked down the corridor with a cold tone in a daze.

Standing at the door of the players' lounge with the door open ahead was the tall and tall Subaru Misaku.

She was about to pass by the side without looking at it, when the girl's voice that had been deeply imprinted in her memory, although she hadn't heard it many times, suddenly came out from it.

"If you keep talking, I don't know what I will do."

Just like the ocean when a storm comes, all the surging undercurrents become a huge eddy that appears on the surface of the sea. The girl's voice at this moment contains emotions like the abyss.

Xinhu stopped in confusion.

"Yes, I accept your challenge."

In the lounge, Gancha looked indifferently at the beautiful work that had frozen like an ice sculpture: "But Ruishan, who gave you the order, doesn't just want my kitchen knife, does he? He is currently working as a culinary consultant, so don't I hope I will inherit my mother's career and become his competitor."

"I can fulfill your wishes, and use my career as a professional chef and the kitchen knife I use now as a bet. If you lose, kneel down—"

His apology meant nothing to her, but—

"Apologize for your disrespectful thoughts towards the president and Ranpo, and return the 99 kitchen knives you won earlier."

"Very good, it seems that we have reached an agreement. Let's go and explain the situation to the Food Halberd Administration."

Hearing this, Xinhu Fei Sazi had no time to take care of her wavering mind.

She rushed into the lounge in shock, and looked at the girl who spoke: "Hai Laoze, are you crazy?—"

She looked into a pair of extremely deep eyes at the moment, and the rich vine purple almost buried the whole world.

——Ah, such a familiar look.

Eight years ago, she was so frightened that she cried out because of this look in her eyes.

At that time, when she was young, she still couldn't understand it. She just felt that something beyond her world and weighing more than a thousand weights suddenly descended. She stood in front of it, and all her speculations were extremely small.

She has always known that Erina-sama will always be very abnormal in front of Hai Laoze, she has been like this since she was a child, so after the reunion, she watched her nervously for many days.

The cold silence of eight years ago disappeared from the girl's body. Instead, she was always smiling, surrounded by a dreamy and beautiful soft atmosphere.

But now, seeing such familiar eyes, she finally realized——

That's because she no longer needs to use that exposed sharpness to protect herself, so she hides them.

But that doesn't mean they're all gone.

The girl opposite just had a calm face.

The pink-haired girl thought, the ocean that has been stirring in her heart since very early on, and that is incomprehensible to others, is now even more vast and boundless.

...Why was Hai Laoze angry with her back then?

Ah, because she said, "I look forward to serving Erina-sama with you in the future"——

Hisako Niito stood there dumbfounded.

... Is she really what Ye Shan said, too narrow?

"No, you just chose a different path."

The girl with smoky purple hair got up from the sofa and walked over to Subaru Misaku.

"You chose to be her deputy, while others chose to be her opponent."

Xinhu almost thought that she had just asked, but she didn't.

"I'm sorry I left you with bad memories at that time."

She explained softly in a voice that was so gentle that it almost made people weep:

"It's not that I hate the idea of ​​being subordinate to others, but the people who can use my abilities are not in the Nakiri family."

"You have chosen to dedicate your strength to Erina, what should and can be done in this position, just focus on these."

She said, "Haven't you done a great job so far?"

"...do you think so?"

Xinhu was stunned.But before the girl could react, she opened her eyes wide and shook her head: "No, it's not the time to talk about this kind of thing! Why did you agree to that kind of confrontation?!"

"Just like you rejected those halberd-eating challenges before, can you just ignore it?" She grabbed the girl's wrist and asked loudly.

Gan Cha raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Looking at those persistent pink eyes, she slightly raised the corners of her lips: "I still think it's meaningless to compete with others for winning or losing in cooking."

The battlefield where she wants to win or lose has never been here.

"However, I also have something to do now."

She glanced at Subaru Misaku behind her with a piercing gaze, then turned and left.

——No one can insult the president and Ranpo.Anyone who dares to do this, she will make him pay the price.

And Ruishan who caused all this, she will not let go.

Hisako Nido looked at her leaving figure.

She remembered the conversation between her father and other people that she heard after Hai Lao Ze Gancha left.

In the stillness of the night and in the room, he said:

"The commander-in-chief's ideas sometimes make mistakes, all because he cares too much about Erina-sama, and wants to accumulate chips for her to fight against her father in the future, and also hopes that someone can help her lift the curse of God's Tongue."

"But it's impossible to keep the young phoenix who is destined to fly high. It might be better if you don't bother her deliberately, anyway, the relationship between Dojima and Caibo and her..."

She didn't understand other things about Hai Lao Zegan Cha.

However, watching her walk through the long aisle and head towards the competition venue——

She seemed to see the gorgeous and brilliant wings on the young girl's thin back.

The author has something to say: Secretary (1/1)

The chef who has no sense of winning or losing is finally about to take off
