Ryo Kurokiba walked over, picked up the last bit of ramen noodles left in Megumi Tadokoro's pot, and started to eat it.

He was stunned for a moment, realizing where he had lost, and waved his hand before turning to leave.

The people of Polar Star Dormitory surrounded Megumi Tadokoro, offering their congratulations one after another.

Megumi Tadokoro didn't know what to say, she just kept smiling foolishly. She was still a little confused and had a feeling that her victory was unreal.

Satoshi Isshiki stepped forward and asked, "How did you come up with the idea of using Wild Boar Meat as an ingredient?"

He always felt that this decision did not fit Megumi Tadokoro's personality. This kind of sharp and unconventional selection revealed a wildness that was very different from the usually timid and submissive Megumi Tadokoro.

Megumi Tadokoro blinked and said, "A friend from my hometown sent me a wild boar. She insisted that I use it as food, so I had no choice but to agree!"

Satoshi Isshiki nodded upon hearing this, which made sense.

As expected, there are many hidden masters among ordinary people. Megumi Tadokoro's friend must also be a master chef. Just the selection of ingredients alone is something that ordinary people could not possibly make.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly.

"The first day of the Autumn Selection has now concluded. The third and fourth rounds will take place tomorrow. Stay tuned!"

With the host's words, today's competition officially came to a close.

The audience left one after another, still wanting more.

Today's match was exceptionally exciting, which makes them even more eager for tomorrow's match.

Yuxian clapped his hands and said to everyone, "The competition is over, and we need to get back to work. Which side should we go to first?"

"Let's go find Artoria first!"

Without a doubt, the children chose to see Artoria first. They were extremely eager to become judges and couldn't wait to ask Artoria if there was any way for them to become judges as well.

"Then let's go find Artoria first!"

Yuxian smiled. Anyway, as long as he was in the Tōtsuki Academy, he would see her sooner or later, so it didn't matter who he looked for first.

Chapter 6, Section 471: Good Food Knows No Age

After the match ended, Artoria slowly left the field, preparing to return to her residence to rest.

At the Tōtsuki Academy, she had no other matters to worry about; all she had to do was arrive on time and enjoy the food.

"Sister Artoria! Sister Artoria!"

Halfway there, Artoria thought she heard someone calling her name. Was it just her imagination?

The surroundings were very noisy, and the departing spectators were all talking about the match they had just watched, so Artoria couldn't hear them clearly for a moment.

However, she still turned her head according to her intuition, which was always very accurate.

Sure enough, as soon as she turned her head, she saw several children running quickly towards her from a distance.

Behind the children were Yuxian and others.

The children ran very fast and surrounded Artoria in the blink of an eye.

What are you doing here?

Artoria asked with some surprise, she never expected to meet Yuxian and the others here.

After arriving in this world, Artoria tried to find other people, but she never found anyone she knew. She had only been at the Tōtsuki Academy for a few days when she encountered Yuxian and others, which surprised her.

Yuxian walked over and said, "We haven't been here long either, and we're very lucky to find out you're a judge today."

Artoria gave Yuxian a slight bow, "It's so good to meet you all. How is Chaldea?"

Yuxian said, "This is a long story, let's find a place to sit down and talk about it slowly."

"Yes, yes, Artoria, don't worry, Chaldea is fine. Why don't you tell us how you got on the judging panel?"

The children immediately started chattering and asking Artoria for advice on how to be a judge.

"We really want to be judges too! Do you have any way to make us all judges?"

"This..." Artoria hesitated, though she did have the authority to make a request to the Tōtsuki Academy.

However, this is not in line with her personality. She is the kind of person who doesn't like to make things difficult for others and always thinks of others.

Yuxian shook his head helplessly and said to the children, "Don't make things difficult for Artoria. Being a judge is not a game, and we can't let you mess around like this."

"We weren't fooling around!"

The children were dissatisfied with Yuxian's words, "We also know what tastes good and what doesn't!"

Yuxian was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

"Hahahaha!" Senzaemon Nakiri happened to be passing by and said, "That's right, good food knows no age."

When the children saw Senzaemon Nakiri and heard the approval in his words, they immediately ran to surround Senzaemon Nakiri.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, we know you're the leader here. Tell us, can we be the judges?"

Upon hearing the children's questions, Senzaemon Nakiri thoughtfully, appearing deep in thought.

The children were anxious, but dared not disturb Senzaemon Nakiri's thoughts, so they silently looked up at him, waiting for his answer.

"That's the decision!"

Suddenly Senzaemon Nakiri spoke up, "You will be the judges for tomorrow's competition!"

Wow! Grandpa is the best!

The children, having received the answer they were hoping for, jumped up with extraordinary excitement, their faces beaming with joy.

Yuxian was somewhat surprised that the commander-in-chief, who was known for his strictness, would actually agree to the children's nonsense.

He said apologetically, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? The children are too young and don't understand."

Senzaemon Nakiri waved his hand. "It's alright! If someone can't even conquer them, they don't deserve to be a student of Totsuki Academy."

"Thank you for your help." Artoria quickly expressed her gratitude to Senzaemon Nakiri. She knew that although Senzaemon Nakiri was testing his student, he was also definitely doing this to give her face.

With the commander-in-chief of Totsuki Temple speaking, it's practically a done deal that the children will be judges.

They were so excited they were practically dizzy, standing there beaming with joy as if it were New Year's Day, not knowing what to do next.

Yuxian said irritably, "Now that you're satisfied, why don't you thank them?"

"Thank you, grandpa!"

Faced with the children's gratitude, Senzaemon Nakiri waved his hand gently to indicate that it was nothing, and then turned and left.

Yuxian led everyone to Artoria's residence, where the environment was very nice.

Artoria summoned the butler and asked him to arrange accommodations for Yuxian and the others, so that they could all stay there together from now on.

Although the butler was somewhat curious about the identities of Yuxian and the others, he still carried out the task very seriously.

Once inside the room, Yuxian explained the situation at Chaldea to Artoria in detail.

Artoria nodded. "Master, please focus all your efforts on finding the person. I can return here whenever needed."

We hadn't seen each other for a long time, and we lost track of time as we chatted.

"Oh dear, I forgot to go find Megumi Tadokoro."

Yuxian patted his head, remembering that there was something else. He had been so focused on chatting with Artoria that he had neglected Megumi Tadokoro's situation.

"Is it important?" Artoria asked, frowning.

Yuxian smiled and said, "There's no rush. Megumi Tadokoro has already advanced, so we can ask her next time."

"You must be wondering why she would prepare a big bowl for you, right? There's probably someone from Chaldea guiding her behind the scenes."

Artoria asked, "Isn't it you?"

She was naturally suspicious, but after meeting Yuxian and the others, she assumed it was Yuxian's doing.

Yuxian shook his head. "It's someone else. I'm also curious to know who it is. We'll find out next time!"

There's no rush with Megumi Tadokoro. Finding people in this world isn't that difficult. As long as there's news, we'll meet sooner or later. Yuxian isn't in a hurry.

The group decided to stay there; nothing could be happier than living next to a chef.

If so, it would be living next to a group of chefs.

Meanwhile, Erina returned home.

When Xiao Ai saw her return, she immediately came up to her and said, "Erina, I'm hungry and need to replenish my sugar."

Erina's previously serious expression instantly melted away.

She smiled and said, "I'll make you a cake right away."

In the kitchen, Xiao Ai watched Erina make a cake with eager anticipation.

Erina, recalling what happened at the academy, couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Ai, a member of the Great Britain royal family came to the Tōtsuki Academy. He looks a lot like you. What's your relationship with him?"

"It's alright!"

Xiao Ai firmly denied it.

Erina nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She believed Ai when Xiao Ai said it was okay.

However, after a while, Erina heard Xiao Ai murmur, "I don't want to have anything to do with the person who would steal my snacks."

Erina was speechless. Oh, so that's how it is. It's okay.

Chapter 7, Section 472: Eating too fast, not tasting the flavor.

"Welcome to the Tōtsuki Academy Autumn Selection. Today we will be holding the third and fourth matches of the main tournament."

As the host began his opening remarks, the stands gradually filled with spectators, and today's match was once again incredibly popular.

"The two players in the third match are Ryo Hayama and Hisako Arato. Let's..."

The host was speaking when he suddenly changed the subject, "Wait! Wait! What did I just see!"

"This can't be real! The judges have been changed today!"

At this moment, a gasp rippled through the crowd. It turned out that the children were coming out, and they walked together toward the judges' table, led by Senzaemon Nakiri.

The way the children looked around made Yuxian want to cover his forehead.

The host exclaimed, "Today's judging panel is very special; it consists of our head coach and seven little girls."

"This will pose a huge challenge to the contestants who will be competing next, because children's tastes are different from adults'!"

The host was very professional and quickly made amends for arranging the children's appearance, providing a plausible explanation.

Several children sat on the judges' panel. They were not afraid of being in the spotlight; on the contrary, they were very lively.

However, this also made them look very unprofessional, whispering to each other and fidgeting around without any regard for their image.

After this unexpected incident, the host continued with his work.

"The topic for the third match is hamburgers! Let's welcome our two contestants to the stage!"

Ryo Hayama and Hisako Arato, Erina's Secretaryko, make their appearance.

They were all taken aback when they saw the new judges today, surprised by the situation.

To some extent, this disrupted their previous plans, and now their ability to adapt to changing circumstances will be tested.

This is also a very important quality for chefs.

The two quickly got to work.

Ryo Hayama was very confident. He continued to make Doner Kebab Hamburger as planned. He believed that deliciousness is universal. Whether it is children or the elderly, men or women, everyone will find delicious food delicious.

The Secretaryko is different; she is most skilled in Medicinal Cuisine. However, Medicinal Cuisine is highly selective and may not be suitable for everyone. What is a tonic for the elderly may not be suitable for children.
