Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

As dinner ended, Erina Nakiri nodded slightly. She had the fewest questions among the women. She had only slightly overcooked the ingredients, but her precise seasoning earned her praise from Shirai.

However, there's nothing to be proud of.

After all, she possesses the extraordinary talent of the Divine Tongue; if she couldn't even reach this level, that would be truly shameful.

"Everyone, get some rest. Tomorrow's match will be a singles match between Lia and Tadokoro Megumi."

Mito Ikumi and Hojo Miyoko, Nakiri Erina and Nakiri Alice will play doubles.

"Yoshino Yuuki, Sakaki Ryoko, Shinto Hisako, and Kōmei, you're going to have your final banquet cooking showdown, do you all understand?"

Although this is not the best arrangement, it would normally be more appropriate to have Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri, two strong individuals, fight one-on-one.

However, because the two had a conflict yesterday, Bai Yuan decided to use cooking to help them resolve their grudges.

Both are chefs with a special grade of two stars or above. One has solid basic skills, and the other has an extraordinary sense of taste. As long as they are of one mind, they can defeat any opponent. The premise is that their hearts are together.

"So it really is doubles...?"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Mito Ikumi and Hojo Miyoko exchanged a glance, both seeing the burning fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

Although it's not a good idea to think this way, as long as someone loses a match, they will definitely be able to step onto this stage and compete in a cooking showdown under the watchful eyes of the whole world!

What an honor!

In the past, they could never have dreamed of such a scene, as it was so far removed from reality. But now, it was truly happening right in front of them.

Excited, excited.

Accompanying this was an unwavering determination!

"I'll play singles... Don't worry, I definitely won't let you down, Brother Bai Yuan!"

On the other side, after hearing Bai Yuan's arrangements, Tadokoro Megumi's face also showed unparalleled determination. Then she clenched her fists, and a surge of heroic spirit welled up in her heart.

From being a bottom student at Totsuki Academy to standing on the world stage, it only took her one year.

And all of this is thanks to Bai Yuan, the man with the power of miracles! He made her a truly amazing chef.

And this has always been her dream.

"Don't you dare hold us back."

"I should be the one saying that to you."

Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri remained as usual.

This time, however, the tension wasn't as high, so Bai Yuan looked at them without saying much. Some things needed to be resolved by themselves, and too much interference would be counterproductive.

"It's getting late, you should all go back to sleep. If you can't sleep, just lie in bed."

Looking up at the clock and seeing the excited expressions on the girls' faces, Bai Yuan knew they wouldn't be resting so early.

But no matter what, I should go back to my room and lie down first.

Maybe you'll get sleepy while lying down and naturally fall asleep.

Shaking his head, Bai Yuan walked towards his room.

Because he had a good nap at noon, he wasn't too sleepy at the moment, so he decided to take a look at the information of the eight universities that had made it to the finals so he could make some tactical arrangements.

Although their high-end combat force is strong, they lack mid-range combat force like Tadokoro Megumi.

If the strongest defense is breached, the odds of winning the game will drop significantly, and the reserves are very likely to collapse at the first sign of trouble.

His ideal combination is...

Alice Nakiri and Lia are playing a one-on-one match.

Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto, and Miyoko Hojo and Ikumi Mito will play doubles.

Tadokoro Megumi, Yoshino Yuuki, and Sakaki Ryoko, along with Huangmei who possesses super-touch abilities, form the Iron Wall Quartet, serving as the last line of defense in this competition.

He only changed his strategy because Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri had a conflict.

However, it's not a big problem. Their opponent in this match is the sixth-place finisher from last year. Although they are not weak, they are not that strong either.

"Qinghuifang Academy, the students in the academy are all Muslims."

Their cuisine is primarily halal, which presents many limitations in culinary competitions. If it weren't for these restrictions, their ranking would likely have been even higher...

Since it is a cooking competition open to the world, it is impossible to change the rules for a particular academy. At most, out of respect for their beliefs, certain specific cooking themes may be removed to allow the contestants from both sides to compete in a relatively fair environment.

Of course, removing it doesn't mean the opponent can't use it.

While many people may refrain from using it out of respect, most people have no such concerns, after all, your belief is not my belief.

Chapter 412 Erina, let's join forces!

"It is highly likely that we will experience a fierce battle."

None of the teams that made it to the quarterfinals were weak.

Each of their academies has more than half of their top-tier chefs in charge, and even the weakest contestant has reached the peak of first-class chef.

The difficulty of defeating these opponents is self-evident.

"Bang bang bang."

Just as Bai Yuan was pondering, there was a knock at the door. Looking up, he saw that the person was only knocking and not opening the door, clearly waiting for his permission. So he called out to the person outside, "Come in."

The next moment, the door opened.

Three girls dressed in pajamas of different colors and styles entered his room at the same time, and looked away the moment they met his gaze.

Have you made a decision yet?

Looking at the three girls' shy faces, Bai Yuan was stunned for a moment, then as if he had thought of something, an expectant expression appeared on his face.

"Yes, we've thought about it carefully and we're not opposed to it, so we came to find you."

Although they didn't feel resistant, the thought of what they were about to do made Ryoko Sakaki and the others nervous, but they still stood up with firm expressions.

"That's right, the three of us together are invincible. Teacher Bai Yuan, you'd better be prepared. We won't kneel down and beg for mercy so easily like we did when we fought one-on-one. This time, you'll be the one begging for mercy!"

Seeing Bai Yuan's expectant expression, Yoshino Yuuki put her hands on her hips, displaying an air of certainty.

"What? You've become arrogant since joining forces? Sometimes being arrogant too early can backfire if you don't achieve the desired results in the end."

Seeing Yoshino Yuuki standing with her hands on her hips, spouting arrogant words, Bai Yuan's lips curled up slightly. He then put down his pen, took two steps forward, and stood in front of the three of them.

At this moment, they were no more than a meter apart.

"Well..."

Seeing Bai Yuan closing in step by step, Yoshino Yuuki's eyes darted away, and she didn't dare to meet his gaze for a moment, clearly not very confident in what she had just said.

There was no way around it; when she was with Bai Yuan, his strength was simply too astonishing. She was so exhausted that she was about to faint, while he was still as energetic as ever.

The way she looked made it seem as if the person who had fired several rounds of ammunition at her wasn't Bai Yuan at all; her persistence was simply inhuman!

If her partner hadn't stopped immediately after she was satisfied, she probably wouldn't have been able to take it. What happened to the idea that women have a natural advantage in this area?!

"No matter what, the three of us will do everything we can to make you happy!"

Reaching out to support Yoshino Yuuki, Sakaki Ryoko and Tadokoro Megumi also recalled the fear of being dominated by Shirobuchi. They exchanged a glance and both saw the subtle meaning in each other's eyes.

Among them, Ryoko Sakaki hesitated for a long time before stepping forward. Her gaze towards Shiro was filled with determination, as if she were about to do something extraordinary.

“That’s right. We’ve always felt bad for not satisfying Teacher Bai Yuan. Now that you’ve made a request, we have no reason not to fulfill it!”

At the same time, Tadokoro Megumi's voice rang out. She silently reached out and closed the door, locking it from the inside to ensure no one would disturb her during the process, before walking towards Shiraibu's direction.

If Bai Yuan observed carefully, he would definitely be able to see the perfectly clear outline under Tadokoro Megumi's nightgown.

In other words, there was nothing under the nightgown at that moment, only the girl's graceful body.

One can guess how much determination the usually unassuming Tadokoro Megumi must have made to come to Shirabuchi's room wearing only a nightgown.

"While I'm not entirely satisfied, I'm not completely unsatisfied either. Your statement is incorrect."

After all, you are all top-notch beautiful women with wonderful personalities. For me to have you by my side as my girlfriends is already an immense stroke of luck.

Looking at Tadokoro Megumi's face and listening to her sincere words, Bai Yuan was also touched. He didn't expect that she would care about such a thing.

One-on-one duels, whether with Megumi Tadokoro or Alice Nakiri, could not satisfy him, and even the two of them working together were not enough for him.

Only with three or more people can he release his excess energy.

As a martial artist, he should be roaming the martial world, upholding justice, traveling five hundred miles at night without panting, expending a lot of energy every day, and drinking and eating meat in large bowls.

But now that he's staying at home, he doesn't expend much physical energy. If he doesn't channel that energy into his work, he'll always feel a burning desire inside him that he can't let out.

Therefore, it became his daily routine to vent his excess energy on girls.

However, because their physical condition was generally poor, he could never be completely satisfied. Only combinations of three or more people could give him some satisfaction.

And now, there are exactly three people.

"pretty Woman..."

"Being with us makes you happy..."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko blushed. This was the first time they had heard him praise them so directly.

For some reason, even though these were just simple words, words they had heard countless times from others, they had never been this excited!

"It's all Teacher Bai Yuan's fault. He doesn't say sweet words to us enough. Otherwise, we wouldn't be in this situation."

Thinking of this, Ryoko Sakaki couldn't help but look at Shiroyuki with a wistful expression. Compared to Megumi Tadokoro, who had a normal expression, both she and Yuuki Yoshino seemed too sensitive!

The reason for this is quite obvious: Bai Yuan said too few sweet words to them. If he had said more sweet words to them, they wouldn't have reacted this way.

But I'm still so happy!

"It would be a bit boring to come straight here. We still have some time, let's play some games for a bit."

Seeing that the girls' expressions were somewhat reserved, Bai Yuan clapped his hands to attract their attention, and then made his suggestion.

"Playing games? Sure, what do you want to play? Poker, Ludo, or even Truth or Dare? I'm open to anything!"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan mention playing games, Yoshino Yuuki's voice became more excited. She then took two steps forward, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him.

"In that case, let's play Ludo, with a penalty. When the winner wins, the loser who is a few pieces short of returning home has to take off a few pieces of clothing, how about that?"

Hearing Yoshino Yuuki's excited words, Shirabuchi thought for a moment and then offered his suggestion, his gaze wandering over the girls' clothes.

If we're talking about games that really get the party going, then games with rewards and punishments are definitely the way to go.
