Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

"Okay, it's my turn."

Feng Xi and Xiao Ying then came up with noodles with soybean paste.

There's no need for a grand finale; if you just leave it as is, it'll be a mess.

"Chiliu——"

Finally, they could eat something slightly delicious, and they all unconsciously swallowed.

Feng Xi prepared a small bowl for each of the four Red A members, while Artoria naturally received a large basin.

This is a tacit understanding.

"Slurp slurp..."

After all the noodles were served, the five judges couldn't wait to start chatting.

He kept slurping the noodles into his mouth, not even wanting to bite them off.

Although it looks a bit greasy, the combination of side dishes such as cucumber, carrot, and bean sprouts makes the flavor just right, neither too salty nor too bland.

Before long, the group finished all the noodles in their bowls.

Of course, Artoria is an exception.

Although they all wanted another bowl, they resisted the urge.

After all, there are still so many teams waiting to be judged, it would be troublesome if they were full now.

"tasty!"

Fujimura Taiga and Artoria gave it 20 points without hesitation, Luvia and Merlin gave it 19 points, while Red A gave Feng Xi's "Zha Jiang Mian" (noodles with soybean paste) a professional evaluation and then gave it 17 points.

Feng Xi scored 95 points in the end.

It will be quite difficult to compete for first place with this score, as strong rivals such as Emiya Shirou and Tamamo-no-Mae are still undecided.

Feng Xi can now properly observe how others play.

There are no fancy techniques like those in food comics; it's mostly just ordinary chopping and cooking.

Yes, that's normal.

Next to be served were the siblings Tono Shiki and Tono Akiha, who made standard Japanese curry.

Well, the taste is standard home cooking; while it's not particularly delicious, it's still above average.

They ultimately scored 82 points, which could be considered a friendly score.

Next up is the Dog Trio, whose cuisine also features wild-style grilled meat.

Strictly speaking, this was all done by Dog Bro alone. Bazett was only responsible for assisting, while Karen was completely a freeloader.

How could I have agreed to let her join the team!

"Hmm, the outside is a bit dry, and the inside is a bit raw..."

After cutting off a piece and eating it, Red A criticized without hesitation: "You used flame magic to cook the pork leg quickly, didn't you? This caused all the moisture on the outside to dry out. Although it's not burnt, it's very dry."

"Well, wouldn't it be better to just make it into grilled skewers? Why did you have to choose such a difficult dish as grilled wild boar leg? You messed it up this time."

"I want you to take care of it!"

After being criticized for being utterly useless, Dog Bro immediately retorted irritably.

Although he wanted to argue that it was all Karen's fault, he decided against it.

What's the point of explaining to this guy?

In the end, Dog Brother's group only got 50 points, which was not even passing.

Of course, in the spirit of not wasting anything, the wild boar leg still ended up in the king's belly.

"I'm coming."

Rin's group also came up, and what they had prepared was gold leaf cream ice cream.

The cream ice cream was made by Moy; she had learned how to make it from her brother, and the gold leaf...

This was added at the strong insistence of both Rin.

Since the materials are free, the two Rin decided to go all out.

"I never knew gold could be eaten."

Artoria finished the ice cream in one bite, but she was a little dissatisfied.

Too little.

"Um, there really aren't any left..."

Moira timidly said that she was somewhat afraid of Artoria because of the shadowy Saber in the video.

"Hmph, what a tacky dish."

Looking at the two Rin Tohsaka, Luvia mocked, "As expected of country bumpkins, they actually use such a meaningless material as gold leaf."

"What did you say!"

The two Rin rolled up their sleeves, ready to go and fight Luvia.

"Cough cough..."

Captain Dragonfly stopped them in time, saying, "You'll be fined for hitting the referee."

Hearing this, the two Rin had no choice but to reluctantly stop.

What bad luck! How could this guy be the referee?

Overall, their cooking still received a good score of 85 points.

It's all thanks to Prisma Illya holding things together.

Please enjoy.

After Moyi and the other two went downstairs, Sieg and his two companions came upstairs carrying a pot of soup.

They made Ghiveci, a classic Romanian stew, mainly made with root vegetables such as carrots, celery, cauliflower, and cabbage, which is tangy and appetizing.

Although Afu made a mistake at the beginning, he managed to complete it without any major incidents.

The five judges tasted it one after another, and it tasted very good; the vegetables were also stewed until very soft.

90 points!

The three of them, including Zig, were not dissatisfied with the score; they were all very easygoing people.

Several dishes were quite good, which put the judges at ease and even made them look forward to the next one, but...

"Jiang Jiang! Mixed stew!"

Arcueid's appearance immediately put the five judges on edge.

Why are you so fixated on mixed stew?!

Let's take a look at Arcueid's cooking. Although it's not a fiery mountain this time, can we really eat that pitch-black stuff?

"Please taste it."

After a chaotic scene, the five judges finally managed to avoid the fate of the Hellish Kirito, and the next contestant to take the stage was Tamamo-no-Mae, the champion candidate.

She was cooking high-end Japanese cuisine, specifically kaiseki.

Appetizers, bowls, sashimi, fried food, boiled food, grilled food, food.

Tamamo-no-Mae served the dishes in strict order, allowing the five judges to fully experience the exquisite and perfectly balanced flavors, leaving each judge with a lingering aftertaste.

However, our king was still dissatisfied, saying it was too little.

99 points!

They quickly surpassed Fengxi's group and can now be considered firmly in first place.

Chapter 540: The Dark Horse Ryougi Shiki

"What's this!"

The judges were in high spirits after tasting the dishes prepared by Wife Fox, but their mood soured when they saw the dishes served by the next judge, Bean Dad.

Bread with jam is a simple, even rudimentary, dish, but—

What the heck is this colorful 'jam'?!

Red and yellow are acceptable, but what's with that bluish-purple color?

Is this thing really edible?

"This is a potion I made myself. It can help people refresh, detoxify, and recover."

Dad Dou said without any attempt to hide his feelings, "Unfortunately, due to limited time and materials, we can only make these simple potions."

Medicine, dosage...

The five judges' faces darkened.

So your cooking is the medicine, and the bread and jam are just a cover-up!

You're using us as guinea pigs!
