Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

Back then, they were full of vigor and thought they were invincible, aiming straight for first place in the college exchange competition.

Chapter 447 Ending

As for now...

The two exchanged a glance, and a bitter smile appeared on their faces simultaneously.

After suffering crushing defeats in the first and second matches, they don't consider themselves special enough to unleash their full potential and win the third match.

After all, one of the two contestants is a two-star chef and possesses the "God Tongue," while the other also has chef-level skills. It seems unlikely that they can defeat them...

but...

Even in a battle they were certain to lose, they could not run away. After all, it concerned the honor of Chaoyang Academy. They could lose, but they could not flee without a fight!

"Give it your all!"

"I understand. Compared to our teammates who can't play, we are lucky in a way, at least we can show our faces in the finals."

The two exchanged a glance, looking at each other's expressions, and then, with a self-deceptive air, began to speak.

Although they knew they couldn't win the final match, it wasn't realistic to ask them to concede directly, as that would be a disgrace to Chaoyang Academy.

The same is true.

Shortly after Zhou Yike left the field, the third match officially began.

Although both of them had reached the level of a master chef, they were completely powerless against the combination of Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto.

The battle ended in less than twenty minutes, with Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto winning with a visually striking elephant-eye pigeon egg.

It is a combination dish made mainly with shrimp, quail eggs, walnuts, pork fat and bread.

This round's theme is also quite interesting. Instead of requiring a specific theme, chefs are asked to create a dish that combines birds, beasts, and aquatic products.

"It's finally over..."

She untied the headband that was holding her hair, shook her head slightly, and revealed a head of extremely smooth blonde hair.

Erina Nakiri took the towel from Hisako Shinoto and wiped the sweat from her forehead, letting out a deep breath.

"Pah~pah~"

At the same time, the words "Dark Cuisine World" appeared on the large screen in the sky, followed by a line of smaller text: "Champion of this Academy Exchange Tournament".

After only a few seconds of silence, thunderous applause erupted in the room.

Although the competition ended somewhat anticlimactically, it is a foregone conclusion that the Dark Cuisine World won the championship.

Given this, they couldn't deny it, after all, they were the ones who witnessed the championship. As the first person started clapping, everyone gradually joined in.

Meanwhile, the other contestants from the Dark Cuisine world also took to the stage amidst applause. Feeling the dense gazes around them, the girls on the stage felt a tingling sensation all over their bodies, and a strange feeling rose in their hearts.

At this moment, they seemed to have become the sole protagonists in this world, and everything in the world was cheering for them.

Although Mito Ikumi, Yoshino Yuuki, and others did not participate in the competition, they still felt their blood boiling at this moment, after all, this glory also belonged to them.

They didn't officially appear at all, which made them very upset.

"There are many competitions in China. I will take you to participate in some lighter individual competitions. You will definitely be able to stand out in front of the public."

Bai Yuan also entered the arena at some point. Seeing the expressions on the faces of Mito Ikumi, Yoshino Yuuki, and the others, he understood what they were thinking and began to comfort them.

"Ah."

"We understand."

Despite saying that, the girl's disappointment was still clearly visible, which made Bai Yuan feel a little heartbroken, but he didn't have a good solution for the time being.

Helpless, he could only stand there.

"Congratulations to the Dark Cuisine Team for winning first place in this Academy Exchange Competition! Thank you all for bringing us one exciting match after another..."

Judge Lin's words rang in everyone's ears. Since he was only talking about some formulaic things, there was really no need to listen. Bai Yuan silently emptied his mind and let himself drift into a state of reverie.

After an unknown amount of time, Mr. Lin finished his congratulatory speech, and the trophy was handed to Bai Yuan. Under the watchful eyes of the audience, the group left through the contestant passage and soon returned to their home on the sixth floor.

"After today, we're pretty much going to be famous."

While tidying up the clutter in the house, he uttered these kinds of sentiments.

Although I had the idea of ​​staying on Gulangyu Island for a few days, I realized that I had already spent a considerable amount of time at the beach, and Gulangyu was crowded with people. They had just won the championship and become famous, so it would be difficult to have a good time there.

The most likely scenario is that you'll be surrounded on the beach and unable to leave until you've signed your name. This has happened quite often in previous college exchange competitions.

"Indeed, I just saw some reporters trying to rush up, but thankfully the security guards stopped them in time. I don't even want to think what might have happened!"

"Let's keep a low profile for now. I've contacted people in the Dark Cuisine world. We'll take a boat back to the island later, rest for a night, and then head back to the Dark Cuisine world."

Put on the hat that I had prepared beforehand, and then hang up a mask.

In this way, even close friends wouldn't recognize him without careful observation. Bai Yuan said, picking up his suitcase and making a gesture as if he was about to leave.

"Are we getting ready to leave now? Isn't it a bit too early...?"

"The best way to get around now is to follow the crowd. We also have people from the 'dark cuisine' world helping us cover for us. You don't want to be followed by paparazzi tomorrow, do you?"

"It's true what they say, 'People are afraid of becoming famous, just like pigs are afraid of getting fat.' After winning a championship, I felt like all my plans were disrupted."

Alice Nakiri couldn't help but complain that when they were about to go upstairs, there were many people blocking the door, including many reporters who wanted to interview them.

I was already interviewed on stage during the presentation, so why are people still swarming around me at home?! Can't these reporters have any professional ethics?!

"You have to get used to this. After all, we'll only become more and more famous in the future, and the number of reporters who will surround us and try to find out more about us will also increase."

But this final was really boring. It felt like nothing happened before it was over, and the opponents were so weak it wasn't exciting at all.

Despite being surrounded by so many reporters, Erina Nakiri remained remarkably calm, as if the matter had nothing to do with her. In fact, she was already quite used to such things.

Indeed, as the granddaughter of the Food Demon King and the possessor of the God Tongue.

Erina Nakiri grew up surrounded by admirers and has been interviewed by reporters countless times, giving her considerable experience in this area.

"After all, the opponent wanted to use the strategy of Tian Ji's horse racing, leaving the best players for later. Who would have thought that they wouldn't win any of the first three rounds, so naturally there was no opportunity for the strong players to appear."

Thinking of the dismal exit of Asahi Academy, Bai Yuan couldn't help but complain.

The other party's idea was quite good, but they lacked strength and luck. If they had encountered another academy, they might have succeeded if they were caught off guard.

"I'm almost done packing, let's get ready to go."

"I'm fine too."

Amidst laughter and conversation, the girls gradually packed their bags and then turned their gaze to Bai Yuan, who was standing not far away, awaiting his next instructions.

"Then let's go."

Bai Yuan glanced at the girls who were ready, waved his hand, and soon the group headed downstairs with their packed luggage.

"Uncle Fu and the others received the message and are waiting for us on the first floor. We can just hand over our luggage to them and travel light."

As they entered the elevator, Huang Mei handed her phone to Bai Yuan, which contained her chat history with members of the Dark Cuisine World and also explained the yacht they were to board.

"drop."

Just as Bai Yuan was pondering, the elevator finally arrived at the first floor. As soon as they stepped outside, a group of people surrounded them, including reporters and members of the Dark Cuisine World.

"The culinary disaster has emerged!"

"Excuse me, how did you...?"

The reporters surrounding the area had all done their homework beforehand, and when they saw Bai Yuan and the others come out, their eyes lit up and they immediately swarmed around them.

“There are so many people!”

Looking at the crowd in front of her, Alice Nakiri couldn't help but complain, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"How are we going to get out of here?"

Move the microphone away from my face. This interview is absolutely unacceptable. It's an unofficial entertainment interview, and even the slightest mistake will be exaggerated.

"Chief, give us your luggage, this way."

Just then, a deep male voice rang out from the crowd, and figures squeezed in from behind the crowd the instant the voice fell, carving a path through the throng.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ah Feng, Uncle Fu."

Seeing those familiar faces, Bai Yuan nodded to them, then left his luggage behind and the group jogged towards the dock.

"They're trying to escape! Stop them!"

Upon hearing the words of the Dark Cuisine World members, someone shouted, and the group of reporters who were originally in front immediately squeezed towards the Dark Cuisine World members.

At this moment, each of them had a look of eager anticipation for breaking news. This way, they could get exclusive stories, and they would definitely get promoted when they got back!

"What a crazy bunch of bastards."

Feeling the pressure coming from the outside of their arms, which gathered into a circle, the members of the Dark Cuisine World who were guarding Bai Yuan and the others as they left couldn't help but sigh.

"But if we can't even stop a mere reporter, then all our years of training will have been for nothing!"

Although the reporters desperately wanted to squeeze in and stop Bai Yuan and his group, they were blocked outside by members of the Dark Cuisine World and could not get in. During this process, Bai Yuan and his group put down their luggage and quickly ran away into the distance.

Because they had practiced martial arts, the group moved very quickly. Huang Mei and Liya, who were the slowest, were carried on Bai Yuan's back and in his arms respectively. They passed through many people and soon left the area of ​​the Eight Treasures Pagoda.

After leaving, the group did not linger at all, and quickly headed to the location on the map, only stopping when they boarded the yacht.

"Good afternoon, Chief!"

As soon as they entered the yacht, Bai Yuan put Huang Mei and Liya down. Then, the voices of young boys and girls could be heard inside the yacht, and they realized that there were quite a few people on the yacht.

Good afternoon to you all.

Seeing the scene before him, with both unfamiliar and familiar faces in the crowd, Bai Yuan smiled awkwardly and raised his hand to greet everyone.

He then took the girl to the second-floor cabin to rest, as arranged by the staff.

"I heard there are pink dolphins in the sea around Xiamen. I wonder if it's true."

As Bai Yuan and the others arrived, the yacht started up, the hull rumbled, and the surrounding scenery rushed past.

Hisako Shinto arrived at the ship's side at some point, looking at the waves churning from the ship's hull and the undulating sea, her voice filled with emotion.

"Yes, there is. This creature is called the Chinese white dolphin, which is a national first-class protected animal. It is dark gray when it is young, turns pink when it is middle-aged, and turns white when it is old."

Hearing Hisako Shinto's words of reflection, Shirayu walked over, his gaze also falling on the azure sea, and he closed his eyes to feel the sea breeze.

"I see. I thought it was some kind of mutated species."
