Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

Looking at the deep seabed, Megumi Tadokoro gently turned on the headlamp on her forehead, an essential tool for exploring the ocean.

Without it, you can't even see your own fingers when you reach slightly deeper parts of the seabed, making it practically impossible to move an inch.

However, because the shallow water area is sunny, the inside of the water can be clearly seen, so this problem is not present.

As it dives, light refracts in the water, creating a gradually changing band of light.

From light blue to indigo, it finally transforms into a mysterious purplish-gray in the depths.

The coral reefs resemble a palette overturned by God, with fluorescent yellow staghorn corals, bright red brain corals, and violet soft corals swaying with the current.

"Weightless blue, luminous life, a storm of fish, a silent carnival!"

Having plunged into the seabed and gazed upon the scene before her, Megumi Tadokoro was filled with heartfelt emotion.

No wonder so many people know the deep sea is dangerous and still enjoy diving; it turns out this is what it's like underwater.

A breathtaking and magnificent sight, unlike anything found on land!

"Xiao Chou Yu, Hu Die Yu, Ci Wei Yu, what are you talking about, the one who throws his head and has a magical light, the one whose body is exceptionally burly, could it be that the one who wears the lantern Yu of the 'Chuan Shuo Zhong'?"

In the sea, Alice Nakiri looked left and right, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Schools of fish swam past her, looking at her with curiosity as she became a creature they had never seen before. Compared to fish in rivers, fish in the ocean are much more diverse in both color and species.

"Yes, that's an anglerfish, also called a monkfish. Xiaohui should be quite familiar with it."

Bai Yuan glanced meaningfully at Tadokoro Megumi, whose eyes held a complex expression.

"Is Xiaohui familiar with you?"

Alice Nakiri, puzzled, continued to make unintelligible sounds from deep within her throat.

This giant deep-sea creature in front of us and the adorable and well-behaved Megumi Tadokoro? They don't seem to have anything to do with each other at all!

"Hmm, in Xiaohui's hometown there's a technique called hanging cut, which is learned using monkfish. Didn't she demonstrate a gorgeous hanging cut technique during the Summer Selection? Don't you remember?"

The true energy formed a cavity in his chest, allowing Bai Yuan to speak without opening his mouth.

This is ventriloquism, which he learned from a juggling chef who used juggling tricks to attract customers and get them to buy his food.

Although it was a minor skill, it was interesting, so Bai Yuan learned it.

"Oh, it's fate that brought us together."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's explanation, Alice Nakiri's face showed a look of sudden understanding, and she then gave Tadokoro Megumi a thumbs up to express her approval.

To this, Megumi Tadokoro simply nodded slightly, looking somewhat lost in thought as she watched the anglerfish gradually disappear into the distance.

"You can move around freely for a bit. You have fifteen minutes. Just don't stray too far from me, and don't be too nervous. I'll be keeping an eye on you."

A fledgling eagle will not learn to fly if it is not thrown off a cliff, and a tiger will not become king if it does not learn to hunt.

Instead of teaching them step by step and making them feel annoyed by the tedious indicators, it's better to let them train on their own. If problems arise, we can intervene in time.

Furthermore, one can learn something after being taught it a hundred times, but master it after being taught it only once.

Compared to his teaching, free training can obviously yield more benefits.

"A mere hair!"

"Number!"

Alice Nakiri and Megumi Tadokoro exchanged a glance and nodded almost simultaneously before drifting on the sea.

The corals on the seabed thought it was beautiful, so they reached out and touched it.

The seashells were beautiful, so I held them in my hand and admired them closely.

The fish was lively, so I went up and touched its tail, watching it dart away with a curious expression.

Time flies by in this process.

Chapter 375 Encountering Danger, A Shameful Lesson

"It's about time, let's go ashore."

Watching the two frolicking in the sea, Bai Yuan timed the moment and then spoke to them.

Should we plant them first?

"Shell captures shells, meaning trillions of wisdom."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Nakiri Alice and Tadokoro Megumi gathered around him, their eyes filled with pleading.

It was their first time at the aquarium, and they had only been there for less than twenty minutes. They really didn't want to go back so easily; the time was just too short!

"I'll be waiting for you upstairs in five minutes."

Seeing their eager expressions, Bai Yuan couldn't help but soften his heart. So he closed his eyes, waved his hand, and gave them five more minutes.

“hair”.

"it is good."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Alice Nakiri and Megumi Tadokoro exchanged a glance, then cheerfully high-fived each other in the water before dispersing once more.

Five minutes later, feeling that it was about time, the two came to Shirai and followed him back to the yacht to change Mito Ikumi and Hojo Miyoko.

An hour passed quickly.

Bai Yuan's team size has increased from two people per group to four people per group, and the time allotted has increased from fifteen minutes to thirty minutes.

However, as the group was upgraded to a four-person team, some unexpected events occurred underwater.

Because the oxygen tank was not properly connected, Erina Nakiri suddenly ran out of oxygen halfway through her swim, and a look of pain appeared on her face.

"Uluru."

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but forgot that he was in the sea and choked on a mouthful of water. His originally calm heart instantly panicked.

His hands kept thrashing in the sea, and his brain began to lack oxygen, making the situation suddenly critical.

"Eri Natato! Shirabuchi-sensei Hisato!"

Hisako Shirato, being with Erina Nakiri, was the first to notice something was wrong with her, and her expression immediately became tense.

She wanted to go up, but was afraid of causing trouble, so she could only look helplessly at Bai Yuan and shout urgently, which caused her to choke on the water.

Fortunately, her oxygen tank was intact, and she was protected in time to prevent swallowing too much seawater.

This frightened her so much that she dared not speak again, fearing that something might happen to her as well, delaying Erina's rescue.

In this situation, we mustn't cause any more trouble!

"Erina!"

Fortunately, Hisako Shinto's voice caught Shirabuchi's attention. He looked over, his eyes widening in fury, and he swam anxiously toward her.

Without any hesitation, he stepped forward and kissed her, giving her the oxygen in his chest and calming her heart with his inner energy, telling her not to be too tense, as excessive tension is the beginning of death.

Finally, the oxygen tank connector was secured in the sea, and after a slight adjustment, the oxygen mask was put back on her, allowing Erina Nakiri to breathe fresh air and averting a major disaster.

"It's okay, relax."

Seeing Erina Nakiri clinging to him tightly with a look of relief after surviving the ordeal, Shirayu gently patted her back, but his expression was not good.

He remembered telling them to check their equipment before diving, but clearly, Erina Nakiri didn't take it seriously.

And this is the root cause of the tragedy.

"Ugh, it's not even, oh dear."

Noticing Bai Yuan's somewhat angry expression, Nakiri Erina lowered her head, her face full of shame.

She was indeed slacking off because she thought diving was just that—as long as she could breathe freely underwater, nothing else mattered.

With Bai Yuan protecting her, and someone to take responsibility if anything goes wrong, Erina Nakiri is exceptionally casual about handling her equipment.

As long as you change your gear and go down, nothing else really matters...

With that in mind, Erina Nakiri casually checked the equipment along with everyone else. Some people were serious, while others were lazy. She was just one of the lazy ones.

Who would have thought that she would be so unlucky.

Everyone else is fine, but she got into trouble.

Indeed, one should not take chances.

Erina Nakiri pursed her lower lip, lost in thought for a moment.

In fact, no accidents occurred the first time they went into the water because the time was short.

The second time she went into the water, she was too excited and wandered around in the sea without stopping, which greatly increased her need for oxygen.

In addition, improper underwater operation during the first dive caused the connection to loosen, and the failure to repair it in time after boarding the ship led to this accident.

Excessive agitation in the water, leading to increased oxygen consumption and a loose connection, was the final straw that broke the camel's back.

But before the last straw was added, there must have been enough weight already piled up on top, otherwise the camel wouldn't have been crushed by that last straw...

In other words, this situation would never have happened if she had checked her equipment properly before going into the water, or if she hadn't been so excited when she came down.

"Okay, stop talking."

Remember that feeling of drowning. Be careful when you go into the water in the future. At least check your equipment first. This was not only said to Erina, but to everyone present.

Don't make this kind of life-threatening, basic mistake again!

Looking at the girls who had gathered around because of Erina Nakiri's drowning, their faces filled with worry, Bai Yuan said with a serious expression.

Because of trust, she didn't check everyone's equipment before they went into the water, and she didn't expect them to be lazy about such a thing.

"Now, get on board!"

Bai Yuan shouted coldly.

After something like this happened, it's definitely not okay to keep them in the water.

Even if they were willing, he wouldn't feel at ease and would have to go up and give them a good talking-to, making them realize that carelessness could lead to death.

"Goooooooo~"

As Bai Yuan and the women swam upstream, a large number of bubbles suddenly appeared in the calm sea.

In no time.

The five men poked their heads out of the water and looked around, searching for the yacht in some unknown direction.
