In the center of the Moon Heaven Hall, Shirou and Yukihira Soma stand facing each other. As before, Yukihira Soma was wearing a headband of unknown length, like a changing headband.

"Hey, Shirou. We are finally facing each other. I won't give in easily!"

"Then try your best to win. I don't plan to lose to you yet."

The conversation between the two people who were friends but risked attracting the attention of this time's referee Gin Dojima. After all, these two were acquaintances during their dormitory training.

"You two are still as confident as ever!"

"Of course, Mr. Dojima. From the moment I stepped into this Moon Heaven Hall, the law of my victory has been decided!"

Shirou showed a confident smile. Perhaps in many other places, Shirou would maintain a humble attitude, but in terms of cooking, he would only say this - "Who do you think I am!"

"Hey, Shirou. Don't tell me, you look like you've won!"

"As far as technology is concerned, I am stronger now!"

The bickering didn't last long. This meaningless thing ended the moment the two came to their respective cooking tables.

"Cooking, start!"

It is worth mentioning that this time, there was no gas stove on the cooking table of Shirou, only a tube of unknown white powder.

And when Shirou smeared these things on the bottom of the pot, others realized what this white powder was - it was clearly White Phosphorus!

As a flammable substance, White Phosphorus has an extremely low ignition point, only about 40 degrees Celsius. Can this kind of flame really replace the normal flame?

"Hey, wait. If I remember correctly, White Phosphorus seems to be poisonous! Can that kind of thing really be used for cooking?"

"It should be no problem. After all, he is the monster-like Emiya. Besides, for Emiya, what's the use of poisoning the judges?"

At this time, the role of accumulating virtue at this time is reflected. Shirou, who is somewhat of an old man, is quite popular in the circle of Totsuki. When his behavior was questioned, someone immediately jumped out to defend him.

Just a few minutes after the competition started, several judges came to Shirou to watch because of Tuo Qi.

"Huh?" Is something wrong?

"Don't worry, observing the cooking process is also part of tasting the food." Gin Dojima explained, and then looked at the pot with a green flame burning in Shirou's hand and asked:

"I remember that the combustion temperature of White Phosphorus is only over 40 degrees. Can you really fry beef with this kind of thing?"

"That's right, Mr. Dojima. Did you know that things like White Phosphorus often appear in cemeteries because of their volatilization? And because their ignition point is extremely low, they can easily spontaneously ignite in the air in the summer. This kind of baseless flame was once called 'Will-o'-the-wisp'."

Having said this, Shirou paused.

"Spirit Summoning Steak, this is the name of this cuisine. I learned it from an old man from Clock Tower."

Spirit Summoning Steak, this is the recipe Shirou got from a necromancer. Originally, this kind of thing was not for eating. It just relied on the process of making steak to attract the undead as the material for Magecraft.

Until Shirou discovered that the taste of this kind of thing was unexpectedly good. The only drawback was that before making or tasting this kind of thing, a barrier to defend against the undead must be set up, otherwise it will attract the undead.

When it comes to Shirou, this step can be omitted. Because he is the leader of the undead, all the undead must obey him.

Shirou's cooking speed was obviously not that fast this time. Spirit Summoning Steak also had a lot of holiday recipes at home. As a Emiya·Halloween special, the characteristics of Spirit Summoning Steak are naturally not as simple as those home-cooked dishes.

The heat source uses a toxic substance like White Phosphorus, which can poison people if not careful. This is where you need to be even more careful.

After an hour and three quarters, the five steaks were brought to the judges' table by Shirou. The shape of a skull is carved on it, or the head of Kel'Thuzad. Not to mention, this is the first time I have seen this kind of Gin Dojima carved on flesh.

"Emiya·Halloween Special·Spirit Summoning Steak. Please taste it."

Picking up the knife and fork, the five judges cut off a piece of steak and put it in their mouths.

In an instant, the five judges felt as if they had arrived at a Haunted House with a strangely painted style. All kinds of scary-looking creatures were doing funny actions, which made people a little scared.

In the second bite, the judges felt like they were wearing the armor of Death Knight, marching towards the endless undead.

"The taste of this wine... did you use red wine as a seasoning?" And it's not just ordinary red wine.

As Head Chef of Totsuki resort, Gin Dojima still has some knowledge about red wine. At least the bottle Shirou took out was not the kind of roadside product.

"Did Dojima taste it first?"

Shirou smiled. He came to his cooking table and picked up a bottle wrapped in brown paper. Then he tore off the layer of kraft paper and showed the bottle to everyone present.

Seeing the bottle in Shirou's hand, Gin Dojima stood up immediately. "The one in your hand is the 1945 Romanee-Conti?"

"One, nineteen forty-five? No way!" In the audience, Zen Marui showed a shocked expression.

"What's wrong, Zenji, is there any problem?" Ryoko Sakaki asked Yu. She was more interested in this kind of high-end red wine than others, as she was good at "qu" cooking.

"It's incredible. If the one Shirou is holding is really a 1945-year-old Romanee-Conti, then the price is at least tens of millions of yen, and it's the kind that has a price but no market!"

"I can't believe that you actually have that level of fine wine!"

Due to some natural and man-made disasters, the Bordeaux winery in 1945 produced only 600 bottles of Romanee-Conti. Correspondingly, those are also almost perfect wines. This kind of thing is rarely seen. I didn't expect that some people actually use it as cooking wine.

"Sorry, although red wine goes well with steak, I can't share the wine in this bottle with you. Because if I share the wine with you, the presence of the steak will be correspondingly weakened."

"To put it bluntly, aren't you just stingy and reluctant to let go!"

The person who said this was Taki Kadokura, which fit her prickly persona.

"Don't say that, senior Taki Kadokura, this kind of thing is not something I cherish here. Just this bottle in my hand, I still have fifteen bottles of the same thing!"

"Fifteen bottles..." Hinako Inui seemed to have been hit hard. She never expected that Shirou, who looked ordinary on the day, could be so wealthy, "Did you go to rob?"

"..."

Come on, the truth will be revealed accidentally. Indeed, all the red wine in Shirou's hands belonged to the collection of Master Magecraft who he killed. He had heard that the red wine was valuable, so he snatched it away.
