Although Alice Nakiri was not someone blinded by profit, for certain reasons, she had been deeply dissatisfied with Erina and unwilling to concede to her. Yet there was nothing she could do about her—
At Totsuki, cooking was the foundation by which everything was measured. As a member of the Nakiri family, Alice knew better than most just how much the God's Tongue could help a chef. Therefore, no matter how confident she was, she did not dare claim that her cooking was better than Erina's...
Of course, that did not mean Alice had never fantasized about utterly crushing Erina with her cooking. Who had never daydreamed? What if Erina had truly wasted her talent and got crushed by her?
To Alice, Sogo Doma's description was like a fantasy becoming reality. Combined with the fact that she had just become the Commander-in-Chief, her ego swelled! And so:
Alice challenged Erina...
Alice gave it her all...
Alice got GG'd...
Alice began rolling around on the floor and wailing...
Alice was stripped of her position as Commander-in-Chief...
Alice: "Liar, liar, every last one of you is a liar! You said I could become one of the Elite Ten with nothing but instant noodles, sob... You even used the Commander-in-Chief position to trick me..." If she had known this would happen, she would never have come to Totsuki even if beaten to death!
"Slurp..." Alice ate her instant noodles. "This is so good!"
Only afterward did Alice finally understand that some people could make a bowl of instant noodles taste even better than a signature dish. After that, Alice latched onto Sogo Doma...
Thus, Sogo Doma understood Alice quite well. "Erina, you never received any letters Alice wrote to you, right? So where did the letters she wrote go?"
"Uh..." Isn't that obvious?
