Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

Erina Nakiri stared at Alice Nakiri with a gloomy face. Alice's hand was still on her buttocks, which looked like it was done on purpose!

Surely they couldn't all have been accidents?!

"Would you believe me if I said I just fell asleep and ended up like this, without any movement in between?"

Alice Nakiri awkwardly released her grip; she was truly innocent! Who would have thought that opening her eyes would reveal such a scene?

However, she did have a dream last night. She dreamt that she kissed Bai Yuan, hugged him, did all sorts of sexually charged things, and finally fell asleep in each other's arms.

Who would have thought that when she woke up, her big brother Bai Yuan had turned into Erina Nakiri, who was looking at her with an angry expression.

"Do I look like a three-year-old to you?"

Hearing Alice's explanation, Erina Nakiri was both amused and exasperated. She woke up already in Alice's arms, and this girl was telling her it was an accident? Who would believe that?!

"It really was an accident! I don't know why I was like this after waking up, but you have to believe me, it really was just an accident!"

Alice Nakiri hurriedly explained, she didn't know why it had turned out this way, everything was fine when she was sleeping!

"Oh, that was quite an accident. So, miss who caused this accident, may I release you now?"

Seeing the other person's anxious explanation, Erina Nakiri remained indifferent. Waking up to find herself tightly embraced, with someone's hand on her waist and legs draped over her hips, it didn't seem like a coincidence at all.

However, she didn't want to worry about that right now, since there wasn't much time left before the competition started.

"Ahem, let's go eat."

Upon hearing Erina Nakiri's words, Alice Nakiri finally realized what was happening, quickly released her from her embrace, and then tidied her somewhat disheveled clothes.

That scene looked utterly inappropriate...

However, Erina Nakiri didn't say much. After the brief respite, her mind gradually cleared.

She knew that Alice Nakiri was a restless sleeper, but Bai Yuan usually took care of everything, so she didn't really notice.

Now she realized that this guy was really dishonest!

Is it possible for a normal person to fall asleep and suddenly find themselves being hugged?! That's highly unlikely! This guy must have dreamt about Teacher Bai Yuan last night!

They're mistaking her for Teacher Bai Yuan!

"stare..."

After changing into her everyday clothes, Erina Nakiri stared in Alice Nakiri's direction and deliberately drew out her voice.

Faced with Erina Nakiri's gaze, Alice Nakiri could only pretend not to see her and headed towards the living room, where she soon saw Shirabuchi.

At this moment, breakfast had already been prepared by Mito Ikumi and Hojo Miyoko, who had gotten up early.

Bai Yuan sat in a chair holding a meat bun, with Tadokoro Megumi sitting next to him, and Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko next to her with happy expressions on their faces.

Clearly, they were satisfied last night.

The blush, as delicate as a young girl's first love, speaks volumes about the effort Bai Yuan put in.

Good morning, Brother Bai Yuan.

Alice Nakiri watched this scene with envy, but didn't say much. She simply came over to Bai Yuan's side, greeted him, and then sat down on the other side of the table.

"Good morning. You look like you slept well last night. Are you confident about today's match?"

Looking at the energetic Alice Nakiri, and remembering that she had slept with Erina Nakiri last night, Bai Yuan's voice carried a hint of teasing.

The moment he uttered those words, the girl who had been calmly eating her meat bun panicked, and a suspicious blush appeared on her face.

"I'd say I'm confident, but no matter what, we've come this far, so we have to go for it even if we're not confident."

Although embarrassed by Bai Yuan's question, Alice Nakiri couldn't admit she couldn't do it. She placed her hand on the table, her eyes burning with fighting spirit.

"That's right. Whether you're confident or not, you have to go for it. I wish you a great start."

Upon hearing Alice Nakiri's words, Bai Yuan nodded slightly in understanding. After thinking for a moment, he raised the soy milk cup in his hand and gestured as if to offer a toast.

"Yes, we will at least secure one victory for the world of culinary disasters!"

At the same time, Erina Nakiri's voice rang out.

After she came out, she first glanced at Alice Nakiri, who was responding to Bai Yuan not far away, and then said to Bai Yuan with full confidence.

Despite not getting along with Alice Nakiri normally, even Erina Nakiri had to admit that Alice's cooking skills were superb, and her strength far surpassed Alice's.

The two joining forces is a powerful alliance, and there is absolutely no possibility of them losing!

"That's right, Brother Bai Yuan, just you wait and see. We'll win all three battles and kill that bald guy on the other side."

Then everyone will know how amazing our culinary world is! Perhaps many people will come specifically to join us.

Alice Nakiri mumbled something indistinctly while munching on a meat bun.

She had been eagerly anticipating it for a long time.

"Bang bang bang."

While the group was eating and chatting, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Mr. Bai, how are your preparations going?"

Upon hearing the sound, Bai Yuan went to open the door, asking in confusion as he did so. He then saw Xiao Zhou, who had brought them here the day before.

At this moment, Xiao Zhou was dressed in a very proper work uniform, with black stockings and a bodycon skirt, and she was also wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, making her look exceptionally charming.

"Ready? Let's go down."

Looking at the youthful and beautiful woman in front of him, Bai Yuan's eyes lit up. While admiring the vitality of young women, he turned to look at the girls who were already full of energy and ready to go.

"set off!"

"Our goal: first place!"

Beneath the dome, the thousand-seat circular grandstand was stacked like a giant white jade bowl, with a mother-of-pearl-like shimmer floating in the packed stands.

The culinary giants from around the world were dressed in custom-made suits, with their master chef badges prominently displayed on their cuffs.

Three-Michelin-starred chef Paulo Laguio's silver-white chef's uniform shimmered like silk in the VIP area, while next to him sat Japanese kaiseki master Haruko Chishima, whose dark kimono featured crane patterns on the flowing sleeves that moved with her actions.

Just then, a small commotion suddenly arose in the back row. Someone looked up and saw that it was Madeline Beckett, the queen of food criticism, wearing her signature purple-rimmed glasses, staring at the competition field that had not yet been entered, and writing something in a gold-embossed notebook with a gold pen.

In addition, there are many chefs from various restaurants, as well as quite a few from small eateries.

Those qualified to come here as spectators either possess amazing culinary skills or hold extremely high social status; otherwise, they can only watch other schools' matches from outside.

Those competitions are also completely free.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the School Exchange Competition! I am the host of this competition, you can call me Mr. Lin."

The air is filled with a wonderful blend of hundreds of perfumes and food aromas, and champagne bubbles spiral up the glass walls on the trays of the waiters who move around.

As the host finished speaking, the giant holographic screen suddenly lit up with a bright blue light, reflecting his somewhat thin face on the field.

He voluntarily transferred to be a judge in this competition because he was shocked by the performance of the Dark Cuisine World in the seventh division yesterday.

To see how far this so-called "dark cuisine" world could go, he volunteered to become the host of the "dark cuisine" competition so he could follow their actions.

"First of all, let me introduce the judges of this competition!"

As Mr. Lin spoke, the stage lights shifted, and three gilded chairs rose from the ground.

An old man, a young man, and a woman walked out from the judges' passage not far away.

"Let me introduce today's judges. The gentleman in the middle is Antonio Bellucci from the World Federation of Young Chefs, where he currently serves as the vice president."

He's not just a fine gourmet, but a highly skilled four-star chef. He once taught classical Western cuisine at the François Academy, where he mentored many renowned chefs, including the famous five-star French chef, Domenico Grégoire.

Looking at the elderly man at the head of the three, Mr. Lin's voice suddenly rose, containing a hint of excitement. He clearly hadn't expected that such a heavyweight figure would be one of the judges for their competition.

It seems that the authorities are paying considerable attention to this so-called "dark cuisine" world!

"Hello everyone, I am Antonio Bellucci, and I am also a judge for today's competition. I will uphold a fair, just, and transparent attitude in serving as a judge for this competition."

As Mr. Lin finished his presentation, Antonio Bellucci's voice rang out, briefly stating his position before sitting down.

"The young man on the left is Su Che, the best newcomer in the individual competition of the school exchange competition ten years ago. He currently has the strength of a four-star chef and is also an A-level gourmet of the World Gastronomy Association. He is well-deserved in terms of both qualifications and strength."

"It's a pleasure to see you all here again. It feels like just yesterday that I was standing on this stage. I never imagined that I would have the honor of being a judge here today."

I will serve as a judge for this competition with the same impartiality, fairness, and transparency as Coach Antonio.

The boy looked to be in his early thirties. The reason he was described as a boy rather than an older man was mainly because he dressed very young. If he were in a high school, no one would doubt that he was a student there.

Yet this very person possesses the skills of a four-star chef, and it is said that the probability of creating a glowing dish is as high as 10%.

A renowned culinary expert stated that this young man will undoubtedly become a five-star chef within five years, prompting many to exclaim, "He is so promising at such a young age!"

"My name is Lillian! I'm French, currently a four-star chef, and also the cousin of Lia, a contestant in this Dark Cuisine competition."

To be honest, we don't get along. She found a super handsome boyfriend and won't even introduce him to me. Don't you think that's awful?!

Just as Mr. Lin was about to introduce the last person, the woman introduced herself first, her words revealing a playboy-like air.

However, this person possesses even greater talent than Su Che, and at less than thirty years old, he has already achieved the strength of a four-star chef.

Compared to the youthful Su Che, she has a more mature and sophisticated style. Although she doesn't give off an old lady vibe, no one would mistake her for a student.

This seemingly mature and sophisticated woman speaks in a way that seems utterly absurd. Those who know her would recognize her as a four-star chef, while others might mistake her for a street urchin. Her words, while not necessarily problematic, are certainly not the kind of things one would joke about in public.

However, because he was a judge in the competition, there was not much discussion.

"Lia, your cousin has quite a personality."

In the contestant passage, Bai Yuan looked at Liya beside him, his words tinged with a hint of teasing. Liya, seeing this, awkwardly covered her face, not wanting to acknowledge him.

"Just ignore her. She's actually a pretty good person, but she likes to make these kinds of silly jokes all the time. Just ignore her."

Lia looked up, feeling helpless about her cousin, but not wanting Bai Yuan to misunderstand, so she spoke up to explain.

Her cousin, aside from having a somewhat awful personality, has an incredibly strong talent for cooking. She only started cooking at 16 and became a master chef by the age of 20.

He then made great strides and at only 29 years old this year, he is already a four-star chef. He can be said to be a true genius and was very famous back then.

Chapter 414, First Match: Theme: Ox Tail!

"It's clear she's not a bad person at heart, but you two actually have a good relationship, at least not as bad as she says. It's rare to see you defend someone like this."

Looking at the talkative Lia, Bai Yuan smiled faintly, then said meaningfully that he rarely saw her defend others like this.

“My brother and I were actually raised by Lillian. I even learned a lot of my cooking skills from Lillian. She was my first mentor.”
