"Please use it slowly, this is Yukihira Style beef stew, specially cooked for the autumn assessment!"
Compared to Shirou's cooking method using White Phosphorus, the dish Yukihira Soma now serves is even more outrageous. It looks like a pile of cow parts have been boiled in a pot.
Therefore, this dish was questioned by Taki Kadokura: "What? Is this really beef stew?"
"This is just beef stew, everything else is just a side dish!"
But you have more side dishes than the main course.
"Huh? I've never seen beef stew like this before!"
"If all were side dishes..."
"It has a charcoal grilled aroma."
"The heat is pretty good too."
Yukihira Soma made a mess of the beef stew, which attracted Shirou's attention. He quietly touched it like a ghost, put his hand on Yukihira Soma's shoulder, and asked:
"Hey, Soma. Your cooking looks interesting. Can I share it?"
The reason why Shirou came to Totsuki is almost because of this. With his skills, he actually can't learn anything at Totsuki. But you can learn some amazing ideas from other chefs, which is the most important thing.
In the final analysis, Shirou is just an ordinary chef who can "only" make some home-cooked dishes. Apart from being good at this, the only highlight is his combat ability.
"Well, there should be some left in the pot. But you have to give me some advice. When I went to find Nagi to taste it, she kept belittling my beef and didn't have much useful advice at all!"
"I'm sorry to say that," Shirou said, coming to Yukihira Soma's pot and picking up a piece of beef with chopsticks. "Ms. Nagi is the organizer. In this case, I'm helping you out of love. If you don't do it, it's out of duty. If I were put in her position, I probably wouldn't give you a taste...
Well, the heat was good, but the handling of the beef was a bit rough. If you still want to cook this dish, remember to be quick when using the knife, so that you can have that 'clicking' feeling of cutting it in half. "
Yukihira Soma is not the kind of person to be willful, so he accepted Shirou's suggestion with joy.
"Oh, sword skills? I understand, what about other aspects?"
"The taste of Domingras Sauce is not strong enough. Next time, remember to cook it for an extra minute and thirty-two seconds before filtering."
In fact, telling the specific number of seconds is completely meaningless for Yukihira Soma. Not everyone can be like Shirou, and the biological clock is more accurate than the quartz clock.
"Uh haha! So that's it, I understand!"
So do these two people really remember the love of the game?
Regardless of everything else, the results from the judging panel have come out. Gin Dojima crossed his fingers in front of his face. There were dishes from Shirou and Yukihira Soma in front of him.
"The dishes of both are very distinctive. If contestant Emiya Shirou's steak is as mysterious as Haunted House's, then contestant Yukihira Soma's beef stew is like a roller coaster, with its trajectory unpredictable.
From a creative perspective, neither of you is losing to the other. But in terms of the details of the craftsmanship and the authenticity of the food, Emiya's food is even better. "
The meaning of this statement is obvious. Maybe the upper limit of the two dishes is almost the same, but for now, Shirou is undoubtedly the winner.
"Then, let's start judging!"
Each of the judges picked up the brushes in their hands and wrote the names of the winners on the paper in front of them.
That's right, the winner is someone Emiya!
"Congratulations to contestant Emiya Shirou for entering the finals!"
Unexpectedly, after hearing the news of his defeat, Yukihira Soma was unusually quiet. "Yeah, I still lost to you. However, don't think that you can lead immediately, I will challenge you when School Festival comes!"
Hearing School Festival's words, Shirou was slightly startled, and then his expression quickly returned to normal. He extended his fist to Yukihira Soma: "It's a deal!"
Yukihira Soma was also stunned, and then put his fists together with Shirou: "Oh, it's a deal!"
When the game was over, Hinako Inui suddenly asked Gin Dojima: "Dojima-senpai, there is one more important point you haven't said yet!"
"Well, that's right." Gin Dojima also admitted, "Just like the last time he defeated Shinomiya, the dishes Emiya brought out were not at the same level in terms of taste as his opponent. It was an overwhelming victory.
That Emiya is an absolute monster when it comes to cooking! "
Gin Dojima Shirou doesn't know Shirou's evaluation of Shirou. Even if he knew, he would probably accept it happily.
Shirou In the corridor, two people came face to face - Alice Nakiri and Erina Nakiri.
"Miss Nagi, are you feeling well?"
Even after three days, Erina Nakiri's face still looked a little pale. Originally, Progenitor Insect's physique would not be like this, but the serum Shirou gave her was to some extent more deadly than the toxin. If it hadn't been partially offset by the virus, death would have been certain.
"No... no more..."
The abnormal performance surprised Shirou. Logically speaking, Erina Nakiri should not show such an expression!
"... Really, it seems that the serum is indeed effective, but Miss Nagi may be a little weak these days, so please be more careful."
Shirou thought to himself that according to the descriptions of Hisako Arato and Reina Mamiya, Erina Nakiri should not know that he is Progenitor Insect's lover. Since that's the case, let's keep it a secret for now. She shouldn't be carrying it so much anyway, and it's just in time for ZECT to spread the potion.
It's just that Shirou doesn't know that Erina Nakiri actually knows his identity as Progenitor Insect, so he showed that look to Shirou just now.
She is scared!
She herself is the monster, and Shirou is the one who defeats the monster.
Because he has a not-so-good father, Erina Nakiri has few friends. I can count on one hand the number of seniors who have a reasonable relationship with her.
The secretary Hisako Arato counts as one, the sister Alice Nakiri barely counts as one, and the last one is Shirou who protects her from the zerg.
If her identity as Progenitor Insect is exposed, how many people will be around her?
Will Hisako and Alice side with her?
And Shirou, Erina Nakiri couldn't imagine the scene when a weapon like Shirou came towards her step by step, trying to take her life.
"Hey, hey, Erina, Erina!"
Erina Nakiri Then I realized that I was a little lost in my thoughts. As soon as he came to his senses, he saw Alice Nakiri staring at him.
His face suddenly turned red, and Erina Nakiri said angrily, "Alice, what are you doing!"
"Hey~ Juyi was fascinated by what he saw. Could it be that, Erina, you have fallen in love with Mr. Emiya? But it's very difficult. After all, Mr. Emiya is an ascetic type."
"Are you kidding me?"
