The heart of the king of nets surrenders

Although the ins and outs of the matter are still unknown to Nozomi Kaki, the competition was held as scheduled.

The venue of the competition is Minoh Dingguo Park. This time of year is the season of red leaves. The clear flowing water of the valley and the warm red leaves echo each other, weaving a beautiful picture.

The first battle, as advertised before, was a cooking competition.In the central square of the park, a large venue was surrounded, and a hundred tables were neatly arranged in the venue, with all the kitchen utensils and ingredients on it.

Because it coincided with a good season for sightseeing, not only were there many contestants participating in the competition, but even the crowd of onlookers filled the entire square.Fortunately, the venue is not only in the center, but also on a low terrain. Even if the outside spectators stand far away, they can clearly see the game situation at a glance. Although the scene is hot, it will not be chaotic.

In the competition, the two shared a cooking table, and every two cooking tables were close to each other. Naturally, Nozomi Kakigi and Nanae Akasaka shared one, and beside them were two girls who seemed to have known each other early in the morning.

There is no doubt about Nozomi's menu, she knows how to make it. As for Nanae Akasaka, she has long decided to make box-shaped sushi.

Box-shaped sushi is a specialty of Osaka. Although the production is not complicated, the beauty is very important.The rice and fish are semi-finished products that have been prepared before, and the taste and texture are specially adjusted, so the dishes of the two should be completed in a relatively short period of time.

But in the production room where the two were full of confidence, the girl at the cooking table next to her spilled the juice of the cherry blossoms into the rice of Nanae Akasaka.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I accidentally soiled your rice!" The girl who spilled the sakura juice apologized apologetically.

Akasaka Nanae frowned in surprise, and hurriedly rescued the rice soaked in cherry blossom juice.

"Forget it, forget it, be careful."

The cherry blossom juice is neatly placed as an ingredient, and it cannot be explained by the reason that it was accidentally knocked over.Nozomi Kakigi looked at one of the two who kept apologizing, but the other was preparing dishes deftly, thinking that the purpose of making trouble was too obvious.

Akasaka Nanae looked at Nozomi Kakigi with some resentment, both of them knew that the other party was deliberately soiling their rice, but it would be meaningless to pursue it at this time.

Fortunately, because she was worried about accidents, Nana Hui prepared a large amount of rice, and less than one-third of it was dyed.Looking at the pink rice, Akasaka Nanae suddenly had an idea.

When the music sounded at the end of the competition time, each group of contestants sent their own dishes to the table in front of the judges, and the three judges tasted one by one and announced the results.

All kinds of delicacies were brought to the judges, and even the onlookers wanted to have a quick taste, but when they saw some dishes with unclear color and appalling appearance, the judges had to send them into the air, and they immediately felt that the judges were so disgusting. Life is not easy.

When Akasaka Nanae's sushi was served, everyone's eyes lit up.

Four pieces of sushi are put together, and each piece has a petal made of pink rice. The four pieces fit together to form a flower, which is very beautiful.

Although box-shaped sushi is common, such delicate sushi is not common.

Seeing that the judges nodded after tasting it, Nozomi Kaki and Nanae Akasaka looked at each other and smiled, it seemed that Nanae should be able to pass the test.

People from the tennis club also came to watch the game, but they couldn't squeeze in. They didn't come up until the end of the game to congratulate Qihui for successfully entering the next level.

To everyone's surprise, Nozomi Kaki also passed the cooking competition, and Ken Azume, who knows her best, has never seen her in the kitchen.

"Isn't Xiaoxi in the cooking club? It looks like she should be working hard..." Baishi reminded everyone with a smile.

Everyone nodded in understanding, and Shinozu looked like he was thinking, "Witch Kagaki knows how to cook! Hey, when will you give me a taste of your cooking skills? Yushi hasn't eaten anything cooked by you himself... "

Witch?Kakigi Nozomi knocked his head down, raised his eyebrows and gave him a sideways glance.

I didn't want to die so badly when I came to Tokyo, so just accept it when you see me, Ren Zuqian also immediately understood the deep meaning in his eyes, and quickly retracted the next words.

Everyone had a meal together to celebrate. In order not to delay their preparations for the next game, everyone separated after the meal.Of course, Xiao Jin, who is obsessed with delicious food, refused to give up easily, and reluctantly let them go with Akasaka Nanae's promise of a big meal.

The first test was successfully passed, which was expected. Although there was an accident, it did not affect the mood of the two of them.

Although the election of Miss Osaka is different from traditional beauty pageants, the swimsuit show on the second day seems to be an essential part, but fortunately, the competition organizing committee did not force swimsuit styles, students like Nanae and the others can You don't have to wear a swimsuit that's too big.

Because the swimsuits of the two were bought separately, Nanae was a little surprised when she saw Chiba trying on the swimsuit in front of the mirror.

"Uh...Xiaoxi, is this...the swimming class uniform for junior high school students?"

Nozomi turned around in front of the mirror, "Oh, I bought it according to that."

Qihui scratched her hair in some confusion, as if she didn't know how to evaluate it.

"I'm not questioning your taste, but isn't it a little too ordinary to wear in a competition?"

Nozomi turned to her, walked to the wardrobe in a few steps, took out a white shirt that just covered the buttocks, and put it on with gestures.

"What I want is to be ordinary. I'm here to accompany you to participate in the competition, not to win the championship." After all, it is not appropriate for her to participate in the competition, and her bottom line is not to be discovered. "Being eliminated in the second game is in line with my original plan."

The dark blue one-piece swimsuit is covered with a thin white mid-length shirt. The dress should be conservative and rustic, but there is a faint temptation of innocence, coupled with the appearance of Nozomi Kakigi who is younger than her age... Akasaka Nanae silently Thinking, can this really meet Xiaoxi's wish?

The second day of the competition was even more lively. Compared with yesterday's competition venue surrounded by flat ground, today's stage was set up on a high stage. The makeup artist and lighting engineer are all well-known in the industry, and even the host is also a star of the TV station.

In addition to the overcrowded audience, I heard that the judges also include celebrities from all walks of life, agents, artists, critics, and even the boss of the sponsor is one of the judges. Nanae Sugimoto took a peek at the tense and busy atmosphere in front of the stage. Non-stop drumming.

"Xiaoxi, what should I do? There are so many people outside, I'm so nervous!" Akasaka Nanae was still sweating coldly while holding her.

Qian Yuxi pulled her over and looked her up and down.Nanae Sugimoto's swimsuit is a cute white floral suspender top and a pleated skirt of the same style, which is very sweet on her body.

"Makeup is ok, swimsuit is ok, let me see with a smile, um, smile is also ok." Nozomi Kaki understood that her nervousness stemmed from lack of self-confidence, and said to her with a smile: "Nanae, you choose your own path, it's important It's not about the outcome, it's about your courage to go through it."

Akasaka Nanae looked down at the hands that were holding her tightly, thinking of everyone's encouragement and help to her, she nodded, held Nozomi Kakigi back, and smiled.

She knows that she is not good enough, knows that she is good at avoiding, and is used to being weak, but there are still people in this world who will not give up on her like this, and she does not want to let them down.Just like her original intention of participating in the competition, she wanted to prove to herself that she wasn't so bad...

Everyone knows that the most difficult thing to defeat in this world is yourself.The inner demon is a shackle that cannot be broken through even if you are stronger than a hundred enemies, but when you face it directly, it is no longer invincible and terrifying.

The competition started on time. Accompanied by music, the host and judges took their positions one by one. The crowd cheered again and again, and the atmosphere on the scene became hotter and hotter.

The contestants were divided into groups of ten, a total of seven groups. There were intervals between each group's appearance time, and the contestants who appeared later were arranged to rest in the lounge not far away.

Akasaka Nanae was divided into the third group, while Chiba Nozomi was in the fifth group, the first three groups were preparing in the background, and the last four groups were brought to the waiting room.

Although Nozomi wanted to accompany Nanae and let her ease her uneasiness and nervousness, she had no choice but to pat her on the head lightly, signaling that she would cheer for her.

Although the lounge is temporarily built, it is not simple. In addition to all the facilities, for the fairness of the game, even the sound insulation is surprisingly good, so that the players who appear later will not refer to the speeches of the previous players.

Nozomi Kakigi looked in the direction of the arena at this moment, because she didn't know who the judges were beforehand, she was worried that she would meet someone she knew, and her identity would be exposed.Although the grandfather's matter has been resolved, but with the prestige of the Kakaki family, her participation in the beauty pageant is by no means good news for the family and herself.

Here, Nozomi Kakaki is entangled in whether she should play, and many players over there are talking about her "ingenious" dress.

Some people commented that she is scheming and wants to stand out, but some people are even more disgusted with those who show their breasts and buttocks.Some people think she is neither fish nor fowl, and are sure that she will be eliminated, but they don't have much confidence in themselves.

The woman's mind was nothing more than that, and Nozomi accidentally heard it but didn't take it to heart.

"Hi, I'm Liuli, can you tell me your name? Although it's a bit rude, I really want to know you."

Suddenly being questioned by the people around him, Nozomi Kaki came back to his senses, saw the girl's cheeks blushing, and smiled kindly: "You can just call me Xiaoxi."

"Xiao Xi, I think you look good in this dress. They say that because they are jealous of you." The girl named Liuli spoke Japanese a little bluntly, and she seemed to have returned from abroad not long ago.

Nozomi saw that she spoke directly but well, behaved dignifiedly and elegantly, and was wearing a conservative swimsuit. She immediately guessed that she must have received a good education.

"You and I didn't come here with the idea of ​​winning a prize. Naturally, whether they look good or not is what they are interested in, and it has nothing to do with us. What do you say, Liuli?"

"Well, what you said makes sense, but it's not easy to really not care about other people's opinions." Liuli had a stubborn expression like a little girl, as if she wanted to get some answer from Nozomi Kakaki.

Nozomi smiled, "No one can care about other people's opinions, but it depends on who the "others" are. For me, people who have never been in contact with people are not good or bad in my eyes. They evaluate Whether it is good or bad has nothing to do with me, so do I answer you by saying this?"

Liuli seemed to want to insist on asking something, but was interrupted by a few exclamations in the lounge. Several people who exclaimed rushed to the window to look out, their eyes full of excitement.Following their actions, almost everyone crowded to the window.

"Is that really me?"

"It should be. I've seen photos in magazines. My God, I'm more handsome than the photos..."

"Why is he here? Is he also a judge?"

"Maybe, who knows...he's walking this way!"

Nozomi Kakaki, who was pushed away, sat on the other side, and Ruri, who was also pushed away, was a little confused.

"Are some celebrities here? Why are they so excited?"

Nozomi shrugged, looking like he didn't know how to explain it.After all, she sees such scenes almost every day in Bingdi, and she doesn't know how to answer the little Liuli who is eager for knowledge.

Just as the two of them looked at each other, wondering which celebrity would come, triggering the girls' hearts to sprout collectively, the door of the lounge was pushed open.

"Okay, all players, please go to the backstage and prepare to play." The on-site guide who entered the door urged the players to leave the waiting room.

Thirty or forty people left the lounge one after another, because they were blocked by the window near the door just now, but they finished walking quickly. Kakigi Xi pulled Liuli who was still out of condition, and walked towards the door.

"Wait, stay with this player." The on-site director said to Nozomi Kaki, and at the same time motioned Liuli to go out.

Yuan Muxi felt strange, and asked: "Is there anything else?" Could it be that his identity was exposed?

The on-site director turned around and walked out the door. At the same time, another unexpected figure walked in, and the door was gently closed.

Nozomi's eyes widened, and she took a deep breath. Looking at the familiar figure, her heart was filled with inexplicable emotions. She tried her best to keep calm, but her hands trembled unconsciously.
