How Is It My Fault Again?

At this point, Yuxian had no choice but to unleash his ultimate weapon.

He told Emiya, "From now on, you are not allowed to secretly make sweets for them without my permission."

"Master! You can't do this!"

"Dictatorship! Tyrant! We're running away from home!"

Yuxian stood there, smiling as he watched them.

The children soon realized that resistance was futile and had no choice but to accept the task.

Upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem like such a difficult thing.

But this did not stop them from being even more annoyed with Subaru Mimasaka, and they gathered together to grumble.

"Don't think we'll put in a good word for him; he's definitely going to lose tomorrow!"

Before the Shokugeki even started, Subaru Mimasaka had already lost half the battle.

Before the competition even started, several children walked up to the judges' panel, and everyone in the room began to whisper among themselves.

They were unaware of the change of judges and were all speculating about the reasons.

The children walked up reluctantly, their faces not very happy, clearly still complaining about Yuxian's arrangements.

"Xiao Ai, what brings you here too?"

After the children sat down, they found that Xiao Ai had also come over, but there were only seven seats available, and Yuxian had not initially asked Xiao Ai to come as well.

She went there on her own.

Her feet wouldn't obey her the moment she heard the word "dessert."

Xiao Ai blinked and said, "Let's squeeze in."

Fortunately, the children were all small, and they moved closer together to make room for Xiao Ai. They didn't mind Xiao Ai's participation, and they didn't have any particular expectations anyway.

After the interlude on the judges' panel, the two competitors officially took the stage.

Momo Akanekubo vs. Subaru Mimasaka.

The crowd roared with cheers, and so far, every Shokugeki has been extremely exciting, with no particularly disappointing moments.

This has filled everyone with anticipation for today's match.

The fact that the Elite Ten members are appearing in the competition are getting higher and higher, with Momo Akanekubo appearing today as the fourth seat, has further fueled the enthusiasm of the audience.

Momo Akanekubo clearly still harbored a lot of resentment towards Subaru Mimasaka. She immediately unleashed her full power, her movements so fast they were dazzling.

In her hands, ingredients transform as if by Magecraft.

"What outstanding talent!"

Even Emiya, who was watching, had to admire Momo Akanekubo's absolutely outstanding intuition and aesthetic sense in shaping figures.

Putting aside the taste, the appearance of her desserts alone is an ultimate pleasure.

The word "exquisite" is probably used to describe this situation.

On the other hand, Subaru Mimasaka deviated from his usual approach, moving very slowly and meticulously.

This time, he didn't rely on imitation as he always had; instead, he did it entirely based on his own ideas.

"He seems to have figured it out," Yuxian said with a smile.

Emiya nodded. "His skills are not bad. Let's see what kind of dessert he can make this time."

He was also looking forward to seeing if Subaru Mimasaka's latest work would truly be a breakthrough.

The children, sitting on the judges' panel, were already captivated by Momo Akanekubo's movements and paid no attention to Subaru Mimasaka.

"It's so beautiful!"

"I told you there was no need to compete at all. I really don't know why Master trusts him so much."

"Yes, yes, you can tell there's a huge difference just by looking at it."

They chattered amongst themselves, dismissing Subaru Mimasaka with disdain, while harboring high expectations for Momo Akanekubo's desserts.

Of course, it's not their fault.

Now, anyone who sees such a scene will be subconsciously drawn to Momo Akanekubo.

Complex, exquisite, beautiful, and brightly colored, an incredibly cute dessert castle appeared before Momo Akanekubo.

She didn't immediately bring it to the judges' table, but instead took out her phone and took pictures of it repeatedly before posting them online.

In the blink of an eye, countless people who follow her left likes and comments.

Momo Akanekubo is also a very famous internet celebrity with a large number of fans.

When the lovely castle was placed in front of the children, they were all dumbfounded.

How do you eat this?

It was completely unpalatable; the children simply couldn't bear to damage such a work of art.

"What should we do? This is so annoying, where do we start eating?" Gretel asked her friend next to her with a troubled face, holding a spoon in her hand.

The children looked at each other, completely at a loss.

At this moment, Subaru Mimasaka's dessert was finally ready.

P. S.: There will be fewer updates in January due to the Chinese New Year.

In addition, I might write more side stories, since writing side stories doesn't require much brainpower.

Of course, this is definitely not because I want to farm 300 unlimited pools.

Section 502, Chapter 35: Why is it my fault again?

The children were at a loss when faced with Momo Akanekubo's dessert castle.

It's so beautiful that I can't bear to destroy it; eating it would feel like a crime.

Just then, Subaru Mimasaka finished making the dessert and brought it to the table.

When the children saw his desserts and compared them to Momo Akanekubo's, they realized they were worlds apart.

If you put these two in front of anyone, they would feel that there is no comparison between them.

The gap is too large.

In terms of visual impact alone, Subaru Mimasaka was utterly defeated, a defeat without a doubt, like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.

With such a gem before them, the children, even before tasting it, declared without hesitation, "You lost."

They didn't even glance at Subaru Mimasaka's desserts, remaining hesitant in front of Momo Akanekubo's dessert castle.

"Ah!!!"

"Xiao Ai, what are you doing?!"

The once perfect castle was missing a piece after Xiao Ai scooped it up with a spoon, leaving a glaring stain, much like a blemish on an oil painting.

"Of course it's for eating! Isn't what you make for food?"

Without any hesitation, Xiao Ai took another spoonful and continued eating with relish.

"So delicious!"

Now the children no longer hesitated. Since the perfection had been ruined, they no longer had any concerns and started eating.

You eat a piece of the city wall, I'll eat a piece of the roof.

The beautiful castle was instantly reduced to ruins, scattered and broken.

Although the audience couldn't taste it themselves, seeing the children eagerly crowding around with happy expressions on their faces, they knew that Momo Akanekubo's desserts were absolutely delicious.

Momo Akanekubo looked very pleased with herself. The fact that the children were eating her desserts while ignoring Subaru Mimasaka's desserts said it all.

After the enormous castle was completely destroyed, the children said with lingering excitement, "Oh dear, it's all gone."

"It's all Xiao Ai's fault, you ate too much!"

Xiao Ai touched the cream on her lips, blinked, and said, "I didn't eat that much, did I?"

"Never mind, we've already gotten a good deal by being able to eat such delicious food!"

"Okay, let's go back then."

The children turned around and prepared to leave, scattered about.

They seemed to have forgotten that they were judges; they not only failed to taste Subaru Mimasaka's desserts, but also forgot to announce the results.

Yuxian in the stands, couldn't help but cover his forehead. He suddenly felt that letting children be judges was a mistake.

This is so embarrassing...

Everyone was still waiting for the results of their investigation, but they just swaggered away.

The audience was completely bewildered. Could this really be happening?

Yuxian quickly ran over to stop them, saying, "Everyone is still waiting for your results."

"Huh? That's right, that seems to be the case."

The children blinked and then remembered that there was such a thing. "We were having so much fun eating that we forgot about it."

"Let's go announce the results now."

They ran back to press the button on the table.

Yuxian called out from a distance, "Hey, at least try it before you decide!"

"No need! We've already made up our minds!" The children had already reached a conclusion.

Subaru Mimasaka was used to the children ignoring him, so he went over and moved his desserts in front of them.

"Huh? What are you still doing here?"

Subaru Mimasaka wasn't angry. He thought for a moment and said, "... We can't waste it."

"Then you can eat it yourself."

"... I can't eat all by myself."

The children glared at him, annoyed. "You can't eat it all, yet you made so much?"

"We really can't do anything with you. Let us eat some for you."

After a period of contact, Subaru Mimasaka seemed to feel that he had found a way to deal with these children.

He clearly just wanted them to taste the desserts he made, but by rephrasing it, he quickly achieved his goal.

The children finally started sharing Subaru Mimasaka's dessert.

His desserts didn't look bad, but with Momo Akanekubo's masterpiece preceding them, they now seem ordinary and unremarkable.

"Huh? It tastes pretty good!"

"It is indeed a bit different. What should we do? We've already made a decision. Wouldn't it be bad to change our minds now?"

"I think the castle is better; it's both beautiful and delicious."

"But this is a competition to see who makes the tastiest food, right? It doesn't seem to add any points for looking good, does it?"

The children whispered amongst themselves, but their mouths never stopped, and before they knew it, they had finished all the desserts in front of them.

After eating the dessert made by Subaru Mimasaka, the children looked at each other in bewilderment; they had encountered a problem.

The firm belief I once held in my heart began to waver at this moment.

"Let's discuss it."

Little Jeanne gathered everyone together, and the little heads touched, whispering secrets to each other.

Seeing this, Yu Xian nodded in satisfaction. Yuxian least they weren't too willful and ended up completing their work as judges in a serious and responsible manner.
