Multiverse Anime, I Write Honkai Impact in Daily Life

Hinako Inui was tasked with the scoring, but seeing Luo Yu not picking up his chopsticks for a long time, she asked with some confusion, "Aren't you going to try any?"

Hearing Hinako Inui's words, Luo Yu just shook his head, conveying his meaning. These dishes simply didn't pique his interest. Although, to ordinary people who can't cook, they had done quite well.

But Luo Yu, just by smelling the aroma in the air, could already tell the general taste of the dishes. He didn't have high demands for food; as long as it was tasty, it was fine.

Normally, he might have had a couple of bites. But having just finished lunch, these dishes really couldn't stimulate his appetite.

Seeing that Luo Yu truly had no intention of tasting them, Hinako Inui said no more, and simply joined the other girls in scoring the other Totsuki students.

Although the girls didn't understand how to score, they eventually learned to distinguish between delicious and unappetizing dishes.

If a dish was deemed unappetizing by the girls alone, Hinako Inui wouldn't even taste it and would directly fail the group of students who made it.

Some students who failed tried to argue back, saying that the girls didn't understand cooking and their evaluations were incorrect.

Hinako Inui, however, silenced them with a simple sentence.

"They are all laypeople who don't understand cooking. The only standard for evaluating a dish is whether it's delicious or not. And it just so happens that your dish received the 'not delicious' evaluation, so why don't you reflect on whose problem it is?"

Hinako Inui didn't pay much attention to those who couldn't even pass the girls' initial screening.

If they didn't pass, they had to go back and remake it! If they still failed in the end, then unfortunately, Totsuki might not be the place for them.

"Ah! I can't eat anymore! Why is it all fish QAQ" Yui Hirasawa said aggrievedly.

Actually, this was Hinako Inui's fault. She had tasked the students with creating a dish that would satisfy her using only the ingredients found within a designated area.

So, while the dishes served were varied, most of them were fish-based. After all, there was a river nearby, and students who didn't think it through immediately thought of fish when they saw it.

By the end, the girls were tired of eating. After all, it was fish after fish. Even delicious food can become tiresome when eaten too much! Not to mention that the students' skill levels were just average.

"That's why I say the tasting work for these students is also troublesome," Hinako Inui said, taking a sip of tea and putting down her cup. (Luo Yu: I feel like my actions are being stolen.)

The other girls felt the same way as Yui Hirasawa; they really couldn't eat anymore. Everything served was fish – fried fish, grilled fish, boiled fish, deep-fried fish... and not a single repeat in preparation. The girls had seen almost every method of cooking fish they knew of, and even some they didn't.

The two brothers whose dishes had already passed and who should have left couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat upon hearing their conversation. They were glad they had served their dishes quickly and that they weren't fish. Otherwise, the outcome might have been uncertain.

Hinako Inui was also curious about the two brothers who hadn't left yet. "Two students, is there anything else? You've passed the assessment and can leave now."

"Senpai Hinako, we'll leave after the dish from that person over there is served and judged," Takumi said, pointing to the red-haired youth in the crowd.

"I see," Hinako Inui recalled something. "You two mentioned before that you were going to have a showdown."

"Alright. If that student over there can create a dish of similar quality to the one you just made, I'll make an exception and judge which of your dishes is more delicious," Hinako Inui said to the two brothers with a smile.

Hearing Hinako Inui's words, Takumi's eyes lit up, and he excitedly shouted towards the red-haired youth, "Did you hear that! Souma, I'm waiting for you!" (Who is the true heroine of Food Wars!)

"Oh! Then let's have a competition!" the red-haired youth, whom Takumi called Souma, replied fiercely.

"Then, the loser will kneel. They will kneel before their opponent and say 'I am a defeated dog' three times. Since this is a competition that gambles the reputation of your family's restaurant, if there's no stake..." Hinako Inui said with a sudden hint of mischief.

The two were stunned by Hinako Inui's words. The girls from the Light Music Club also took a neat step back; they didn't remember this older sister they had been chatting with all day having such a cunning side. But this didn't stop the girls' instinct to distance themselves from danger.

However, Hinako Inui ignored everyone's reactions. Her demeanor suddenly changed, and she took the hand of the girl who was grouped with the red-haired youth, saying, "But you don't have to kneel, Megumi Tadokoro."

"In short, if you can make something better than our dish, then go ahead and do it!" Takumi declared to the red-haired youth after recovering from his shock.

Afterward, the boy named Souma (This is too troublesome, I'll just write Souma Yukihira from now on) went out to find ingredients again with Megumi Tadokoro. Notably, Souma Yukihira also snatched Hinako Inui's tea snack – Pei Zhong – and handed it to Takumi for safekeeping. (So, who is the true heroine of Food Wars!)

After a farce, everyone returned to their original state; those who needed to serve dishes served them, and those who needed to taste them tasted them.

However, the girls were somewhat distracted, looking forward to the culinary showdown between Souma Yukihira and Takumi.

The girls were all watching Souma Yukihira, who was cooking, wondering what dish he would present in the end. After all, only fifteen minutes remained.

"Excuse me, Hinako. We're intruding."

In these final moments, three figures walked in.

Chapter 69: Erina's Declaration of War

"Dojima-senpai, and... Nakiri-san?" Hinako Inui said in surprise, looking at the newcomers. "Why are you two here together?"

Indeed, the newcomers were Gin Dojima and Erina Nakiri, along with her loyal attendant, Hisako Arato.

"Nakiri-san? Is that the Tenth's Erina Nakiri?"

"It really is her, why is she here?"

"Are you only noticing Erina Nakiri? Didn't you notice the person next to her? That's Gin Dojima! The person in charge of the entire Tootsuki Resort!"

"Hiss~ Why would such an important figure be here?"

Gin Dojima and Erina Nakiri were unaffected by the students' discussions.

Seeing that Erina Nakiri was only staring at Luo Yu and had no intention of speaking, Gin Dojima spoke up, "Hinako, we're looking for someone."

"Looking for someone?"

Hinako Inui looked confused.

"The person they're looking for should be me."

Luo Yu hadn't expected Erina to come looking for him directly. If it were just Erina, it would be one thing, but why was Gin Dojima with her?

Luo Yu's voice drew everyone's attention to him, but he remained unfazed, calmly greeting them.

"Long time no see, Erina. Oh~ and Secretaryko is here too."

"Young Master Luo Yu! My name is Hisako, not Secretary-ko!" Hisako Arato was still trying to correct Luo Yu's way of addressing her. It was useless, though. After all this time, Luo Yu's nickname for her hadn't changed. Even Young Lady Erina sometimes slipped up and called her Secretary-ko.

But if she didn't fight for it, her name might truly become Secretary-ko in the future.

Luo Yu ignored Secretary-ko's protest and simply looked at the blonde girl in front of him, wondering why she had come to find him.

"Long time no see, Luo Yu." Erina Nakiri looked at the man she had resolved to surpass. "Why haven't you come to find me?"

"What?"

Luo Yu had expected Erina's first action upon seeing him to be a cooking duel, as that's how things usually went between them. He hadn't anticipated her coming just to ask why he hadn't visited her.

"I said, why haven't you come to see me since that day?" Erina couldn't understand why Luo Yu had left Totsuki entirely. Even if he wasn't studying cooking at Totsuki, couldn't he at least come to visit her?

That's right, Young Lady Erina had very few friends. Luo Yu was her only male friend, and he even surpassed her in cooking skills. Erina naturally looked forward to Luo Yu coming to visit her.

Since the experience points for this area have been maxed out, it's time to switch maps. Of course, Luo Yu couldn't say this out loud.

"After all, I've learned everything I could there. There's no reason for me to go back later."

Tsk! So, besides cooking, you can't just come to visit me? Shouldn't guys be the ones to take the initiative in these situations? (Well, the Young Lady had been heavily influenced by romance manga.)

"Since we've finally met, let's have a match again sometime. I'm sure I'll win this time!"

Although Erina knew she wasn't Luo Yu's equal yet, she wouldn't back down, at least not verbally.

As for giving up on competing with Luo Yu, Erina hadn't even considered it. Only by competing with Luo Yu could Erina understand the gap between them and set a clear goal for herself.

Hearing Erina's words, Luo Yu chuckled.

"Are you sure, Erina? Don't forget, you've never won a single match against me."

"Hmph! Just you wait and see! Hisako, let's go!"

"Yes, Young Lady Erina!"

With that, Erina left with Hisako.

After Erina's departure, the people below began to speculate about Luo Yu's identity. Although they didn't know who Luo Yu was, they had heard one thing.

That Luo Yu's cooking skills surpassed even their Totsuki princess, the Young Lady of the Nakiri family, Erina Nakiri.

"Luo Luo, do you know that person from just now?" Yui Hirasawa asked curiously.

"Yeah, I met her three years ago when I went to study cooking," Luo Yu replied frankly, without hiding anything. "But you guys don't know her? She's quite famous."

Faced with the confused expressions of the three girls, Tsumugi Kotobuki explained, "That was Erina Nakiri. She's a very famous figure in the culinary world. She possesses a talent called the 'God Tongue,' and with just a few words, she can decide the fate of a restaurant."

"Amazing! So she's that powerful?"

"Luo Yu, who's better between you and her?"

"Didn't I already say? She's lost every match against me, and I've won them all!"

At this, everyone looked at Luo Yu in astonishment. Although they had heard it earlier, Luo Yu's words now confirmed their suspicions: this person's skill was definitely above the Elite Ten!

"So you're saying he didn't even touch his chopsticks once and simply looked down on our cooking?" Takumi said indignantly.

"It seems so, Brother," Isami confirmed his brother's statement.

Although they were annoyed, it now appeared that Luo Yu indeed had the qualifications to disregard their dishes.

"So Luo Luo is very skilled, huh? No wonder I always felt that the food you guys made wasn't as good as Luo Luo's."

Yui Hirasawa innocently delivered another blow. Mio Akiyama quickly covered her mouth. Although what Yui said was true, and she felt the same way, Mio felt they might get beaten if Yui continued.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be heading back," Luo Yu said, standing up. He then looked at Gin Dojima, "Uncle Dojima, let's go. I know you need to talk to me, and it's probably not convenient to do it here, right?"

After speaking, Luo Yu left the classroom with Mashiro and Gin Dojima.

The surrounding students were still staring in shock at Luo Yu's departing figure. After all, not only did Luo Yu know Erina Nakiri, but it seemed he even knew Gin Dojima.

Hinako Inui, looking at these people, couldn't help but (kindly?) remind them, "Aren't you guys supposed to be watching your pots?"

At her words, everyone's expressions changed. They looked into their pots and all cried out in surprise.

They had been so engrossed in watching the drama that they had almost forgotten they were cooking. One after another, they began to salvage their dishes.

Luo Yu was unaware of how many students would fail because of him. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Walking along the path in the resort, Luo Yu spoke to Gin Dojima behind him, "Uncle Dojima, tell me. What agreement did my dad and Old Man Nakiri strike this time that they had to trick me into coming here?"

Chapter 70: The Light Music Club Wants to Practice

"It seems I can't hide anything from you," Gin Dojima said with a smile.

"So, what is it?"

Although Luo Yu had a rough idea of what they wanted him to do, he still needed Gin Dojima to confirm it.

"Actually, we wanted to invite you to be a judge."

Just as he expected. Inviting him to the Totsuki Resort at this time was clearly to exploit his free labor.

But based on Luo Yu's understanding of his father and Old Man Nakiri...

"No way! I'm just here for a vacation, I don't want another job."

That's right. Based on his understanding of them, he could choose whether or not to do it.

"I see, just as the Director said," Gin Dojima remarked with a sigh. "Since you've refused, I have nothing else to discuss with you. I wish you a pleasant stay at the Tootsuki Resort."

"Uncle Dojima, won't you come visit my place?"

"I'm rather busy, you see."

"If you were truly busy, you wouldn't have time to come find me. Let's go, Mashiro."

With that, Luo Yu took Mashiro's hand and walked towards the villa.

Watching Luo Yu's retreating figure grow smaller in the distance, Gin Dojima took out his phone and dialed Senzaemon Nakiri.

"Director, he didn't accept."

"If he didn't accept, then he didn't accept," Senzaemon Nakiri sighed. "I was only trying my luck. Since that's the case, let him enjoy himself for these few days."

"Understood." Seeing that the Director felt that way, Gin Dojima said no more and hung up the phone.

Honestly, Gin Dojima still felt it was a shame. He had met Luo Yu when he studied culinary arts at Tootsuki for three years in middle school. He knew about Luo Yu's talent, but he hadn't expected Luo Yu to ultimately choose not to become a chef. Shaking his head, Gin Dojima dismissed these trivial matters, turned, and left to start arranging his next tasks. One thing he hadn't lied to Luo Yu about was that, as the person in charge of the Tootsuki Resort, he was indeed quite busy.

Back at the villa, with nothing else to do, Luo Yu began painting with Mashiro.

Not long after, the girls from the Light Music Club also returned.

"Luo Luo! Luo Luo! I have to tell you..." Yui Hirasawa rushed towards Luo Yu as soon as she entered. "That red-haired guy is amazing! What he made was even tastier than the first dish. Of course, it wasn't as delicious as what Luo Luo made."
