Yokohama Cuisine Event Book

Erina stared at the only opponent who was evenly matched since she was a child.

In those vine-purple eyes, all the vivid and friendly smiles at this moment are all gone, like the surface of a calm lake——

It was the same look as when she temporarily visited the dormitory a few days ago.

At that time, she was still unable to discern the meaning, but the sudden change she saw with her own eyes today made her instantly realize where the unpleasant but extremely familiar feeling came from.

Even though the young girl's words were still gentle and thoughtful, her eyes were obviously condescending—that was no longer the usual way of looking at her as an equal opponent.

This kind of gaze is indeed all too familiar to the eldest lady who is used to looking down on others.

Erina suddenly remembered—didn't she have no intention of walking down the stairs that day?

The room was exceptionally quiet.

The buzzing of the machine starting, the sound of splashing water, such a regular background sound, on the contrary, emphasized the silence between the two people more and more irritating.

A moment later, the purple-haired girl raised her eyelashes.

"Since you asked—"

The emotions contained in those eyes were not as flat as before, but a little bright light shone slightly.

However, her words were merciless, almost like a loud slap in the face: "I'm really disappointed, Erina."

"Nito helped you escape, and I come to take care of you every day; Alice has already declared war to Mr. Nakamura. Xinghei-kun broke the fake match of Senior Eizan, and Senior Isshiki and I used the new rules to contain Center's actions."

"Everyone in Jixing Liao has never given up hope."

"Everyone tried hard to shoulder their share of responsibility, only you, the one who should have acted the most - never tried to resist from the beginning, and is still depressed to this day."

Erina took a deep breath.

The nails sunk into the palm unconsciously, she tried her best to calmly say:

"...I guess so. This is probably what you've been thinking about."

After the match with Misaku, Erina, who met her eyes, knew exactly who she was addressing in those words.

"Don't dwell on your past."

——But, how could that kind of thing be so easy for her?

The blond girl remembered the members of the detective agency she met not long ago.

—especially her current guardian, who was gentle and patient even when he looked at her seriously.

A girl has a family that wants her to be happy and reliable; but what about herself?

The curse of God's Tongue will come at an unknown time. The elders of the Nakiri family will always ask her to put the family first, and her father - locked her in a dark hut when she was young, still refuses to let it go she.and……

"Everyone says father is wrong. But..."

Thinking of the doubts that have been lingering in her heart for many years, the always proud girl didn't even have the heart to get angry at what she heard before, but showed a powerless and confused look.

"The world is indeed full of bad dishes. I, who have been doing food testing since I was sensible, have understood it very early."

Erina asked, "Father wants to eliminate those bad dishes, so that everyone can cook good food-is there anything wrong with this idea?"

"...Are you saying that it is correct to impose so-called standards on everyone and force everyone to obey?"

After a moment of silence, Gan Cha showed an unbelievable expression.Immediately afterwards, the light that had just lit up in her vine purple eyes returned to calm again.

"Boss and you too." She shook her head tiredly, "I'm such a fool for expecting from you."

Sincerely looking for an answer, but getting such a response, the blond girl finally raised her voice unbearably.

"What did you say?"

Just like the little girl who rushed into her temporary room back then, full of grievances and unwillingness, Erina asked angrily, "What do you mean?"

The past scene reappeared in a trance.

In the memory shrouded in the veil of time, the girl standing in the center of the gorgeous bedroom took a step forward, and fought back with sharp words without dodging or evading.

But at the moment, in the not-so-spacious laundry room of Jixing Liao, the girl with smoky purple hair just looked back at her indifferently.

"Erina, I won't quarrel with you like I did when I was a child."

She stood there quietly.

Such a declaration is almost like a basin of ice water being poured on the head.

Erina's movements froze.There seemed to be some meaning hidden in those words, but now that her mind was in a mess, she had no time to think, she just raised her eyes in a daze and looked towards the opposite side.

There was no expression on the girl's face, but her vision was extremely penetrating and sharp.

"However, I think there are two things you need to know."

Locked by such an expression, everything around him seemed to disappear in an instant.

In the suddenly silent world, Erina heard her ask:

"You should have heard of the Dragon Head War, right?"

"It happened during the holidays for my elementary school graduation. During that time in Yokohama, walking on the street for ten seconds, a bullet might fly."

Gancha recalled the busy and exhausting time of running around and helping civilians, as well as the pain of seeing the tragedy that was about to happen but having no time to spare and being powerless.She lowered her eyes, hid the turbulent emotions in her heart, and continued:

"The commander-in-chief invited me to enroll in Yuanyue at that time."

"He knew my ability and how much I could do at that time, but he still told the president—"

From the corner of the eye, I caught a glimpse of the open nozzle of the pipe communicator in the corner.I don't know if it will be overheard by others, but Gan Chayin concealed the plan of Pu Yu's generation, and just said:

"—I told you about you, I hope I can join."

"You know what I was thinking?"

It was dusk at this moment, and the winter sunset shrouded the small room with warm light, but the girl's gaze seemed extraordinarily cold.

——Breaking danger to come to Yokohama, no matter who it is, everyone will be moved by this kind of heart.But Erina has a grandfather who considers everything for her, and the countless lives in Yokohama are in the shadows, who will give them a helping hand?

"To ignore the suffering of countless people that has happened for the possible happiness of someone. Such is your arrogance."

"And the commander-in-chief's approach this time is still the same. Mr. Nakamura's plan, at least half a year ago, he knew about it. But,"

She mistakenly had expectations, thinking that the commander-in-chief would stop Nakamura Ji's actions to the outside world.It wasn't until she contacted Megijima-senpai, who was helping the victimized ramen shop, that she realized——

"The commander-in-chief did nothing. He stood by and let the Center guys go around doing 'remodeling' of restaurants that were supposedly substandard. "

The corner of the girl's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm, "Because the commander-in-chief only cares about whether you can overcome your father's shadow. And you..."

She stopped her voice and did not continue.But the meaning of it is already very obvious to Erina——

And you are just blindly immersed in your own thoughts, and you don't even care about what happens in the outside world.

"Mr. Nakamura's concept, I don't expect you to understand how wrong it is and how many people it will hurt—but, as far as the so-called correct standard of food is concerned,"

Gancha raised his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't the food you've tasted at Jixing Liao these days that has nothing to do with correctness enough to make you change your mind?"

"..."

The fact was almost cruelly torn open in front of her eyes, Erina clutched at the hem of her skirt in a state of confusion, and the emotion in her eyes could not be calmed down for a long time.

And the last sentence reminded her of everyone's undaunted, even enthusiastic reactions when their cooking was rejected by her——

The setting sun gradually sank to the treetops, and the afterglow passed through the scattered branches and leaves, which was only enough to cast a layer of blush on the glass windows, while the interior was only given a little dim afterglow.

In the dimly lit room, the two girls standing face to face could barely distinguish each other's expressions.

"What's wrong? What are you two doing standing in there?"

Someone turned on the light with a snap, and the red-haired boy was still pressing the switch, looking into the room suspiciously, "Hai Laoze?"

——Xingping Chuangzhen! !

Downstairs in the living room, the residents of Jixing dormitory who were holding their breath and listening nervously to this conversation, and the extremely disturbed Xinhu Fei Sazi almost wanted to rush up and cover this guy's mouth before he entered the door, and put He drags it out.

"It's nothing."

Disturbed by the sudden light, Gan Cha closed his eyes, and when he opened them, he met those focused golden eyes.

Looking back at the thoughtful blond girl, she thought for a while and replied, "I'm teaching Erina how to use a washing machine."

"Hahaha, that's right."

Accepting the answer without doubt, Soma grinned and walked over to the empty washing machine.

After operating the laundry process, he turned around, looked at the two people who were still there, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled: "Then what are you going to do now?"

"..."

Gan Cha pointed to the washing machine with less than 10 minutes left, and said casually, "Wait for my clothes."

"Let me do it."

Erina who was silent at the side suddenly raised her head.

Touching the never-before-seen firmness in those eyes, Gan Cha paused, and finally laughed.

"Let's go together," she said.

The next day, after meeting the unemployed Nakiri Senzaemon, Nakiri Erina-sensei's final exam prep class started.

The members of the cram school are the first-year students of Totsuki who are not willing to obey Nakiri Ji, who are mainly boarding students in the Pole Star Dormitory.

The promotion exams for the second semester of first-year students have always been held in Hokkaido.

From south to north, every time you pass an assessment, you will take the luxury sleeper train "Tuekage" of Totsuki Academy, and change to the next assessment location, across the entire Hokkaido, and conduct the final assessment on the northern outlying islands and Rebun Island.

Since the subject of the assessment is usually the unique ingredients of Hokkaido, Erina intends to stuff the varieties and characteristics of all the ingredients into everyone's brains within this week.

In addition to outside activities, Gan Cha will also return to the dormitory to participate in make-up classes.

Sitting with Soma who was dozing off in the back row, she became the two most troublesome students for Teacher Erina and Assistant Teacher Hisako.

"Do you have to come to mess with me?"

Erina with the pointer in her hand squinted at her.

Gan Cha leisurely flipped through the documents in his hand.

"Fifty varieties of potatoes in Hokkaido... I really didn't know such detailed knowledge before."

She stared at Fen Fubuki and Toya Potato with some curiosity, and said with a smile.

"Hmph, this level can be regarded as meticulous. I really don't know what you are usually studying."

Erina raised her eyebrows.

"Well, I think about it..."

Facing Miss Shang's haughty expression, Gan Cha raised her eyebrows slightly.

With a gentle voice, she said softly: "I know exactly how many camouflages the bug can have, and the types of guns that the [-]mm bullets are compatible with."

Everyone: "..."

Ever since she went downstairs that day and saw their dodging eyes, Gan Cha seemed to have guessed that they had eavesdropped on the whole process, and since then she has been even more undisguised.

In the past, at any rate, I would say something like "it's not a big deal" to blur the dangerous things I do on weekdays...

"It's obvious that you can memorize it at a glance, you'd better come and help prepare lessons."

Erina glared at her, then asked hesitantly,

"People from the Center... they acted a bit late, how is the situation outside? Especially your Yokohama..."

Yokohama.

The purple-haired girl smiled beautifully.

Not to mention that she had already informed Ranpo and Mr. Dazai, even if she hadn't made any preparations——

"They're here to try."

The author has something to say: Gancha's heart knot for the Nakiri family is actually here~
