After three years of dormancy, the Gourmet Tyrant was born.

In the afternoon.

At Nakiri's house.

As a family of gourmets who control Totsuki Academy.

The Nakiri Mansion was of the highest caliber, definitely a noble residence.

Its land area is naturally self-evident.

Upon entering, everything conveys an important message.

luxurious!

Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto live here every day.

I'm already used to it, so it doesn't feel special.

Tadokoro Megumi and Mito Ikumi were truly shocked by the luxurious building in front of them.

Inside the hall, the butler and servants were cleaning and tidying up.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Erina!"

"Ms. Erina, you're back!"

"Good afternoon, Ms. Erina!"

"Miss Erina, the Commander-in-Chief is in the study!"

"..."

Having grown up surrounded by admirers, it's no wonder Erina is so proud.

Erina did not linger in the hall, but instead led Lu Xuanyu and the others directly to her private culinary hall.

That's right.

It's neither a kitchen nor a cooking room.

It's actually a real cooking hall!

The facility is fully equipped with all necessary equipment and fresh ingredients.

There are also dedicated servants every day to take care of changing the ingredients and maintaining the equipment.

Even the most prestigious classrooms and duel venues at Totsuki Culinary Academy are not as fully functional as the cooking hall in Erina Nakiri's house.

"Over the next few days, everyone can try out their culinary creations here."

"Reviewer Lu is responsible for providing feedback and guiding everyone's progress."

"Everyone has witnessed Lu's culinary skills."

"I wonder if this is for teaching students?"

"Hmph, people who are good at cooking are not necessarily good at lecturing."

"Judging from how confident Judge Lu is, there must be no problem, right?"

Erina Nakiri has learned a set of techniques from Lu Xuan.

After leading everyone on the tour, he immediately put a tall hat on Lu Xuanyu's head.

Her reasoning was sound.

Teaching and tutoring are entirely about imparting knowledge and experience.

Simply being talented and creative is not enough.

It takes a sufficient amount of time to accumulate knowledge and learn before one can reach the level of a lecturer.

Erina Nakiri, of course, had no idea that Lu Xuanyu's theoretical knowledge was far superior to her own practical skills.

Lu Xuanyu accepted the compliments without feeling guilty.

"Everyone, come over here."

"First, let's try a series of small things."

"Let me tell you about the different ways curry is used as a spice."

"Erina, could you please cut three pieces of potato for me? They should be the same size and weigh the same."

"I will be the lecturer, and you will be the students."

"Don't just sit around doing nothing, be my teaching assistant."

"This level of effort shouldn't be a problem, right?"

As Lu Xuanyu spoke, he walked to the seasoning section.

Erina stood with her hands on her hips, angrily wanting to retort but unable to utter a word.

Hisako is in someone else's hands, so if I don't treat her well, I'm afraid she'll suffer.

She had no choice but to do as Lu Xuanyu said and prepare the ingredients for her.

Lu Xuanyu looked around and found that there were indeed more spices than he had imagined.

A complete range of products are available, including fresh leaves, dried materials, and powders of varying degrees of grinding...

It's like a treasure trove!

You can find the answer to every spice you can imagine here.

"It's taken care of!"

"You're making curry potatoes, right?"

"The standard for cutting the potatoes into chunks is the same as the standard commonly used for curry potatoes."

Lu Xuanyu had only been observing for a short while when Erina Nakiri had already completed the preparations.

"Wow!! Not bad speed, only a little bit slower than me."

"Tch... I'd like to see what kind of lecture you can deliver!"

I took the ingredients that Erina Nakiri had prepared, except for the potatoes.

Some of the ingredients needed for cooking curry potatoes were prepared and placed on other plates.

The technique is quick, the processing is meticulous, and the culinary approach is clear...

The outside world focuses more on her God Tongue talent and her own Nakiri family background.

Many people realize that, aside from all that, Erina is still an extremely talented top chef.

Lu Xuanyu activated the three gas stations in turn.

They then proceeded to cook the ingredients they had received.

Meanwhile, he was also explaining things to the three women during the rapid cooking process.

"fragrance!"

"Spicy!"

"color!"

"The so-called spices, when examined closely, are composed of these three things."

"By blending and combining different seasonings, a magical multiplicative effect can be achieved."

"Of course, the more varieties you choose, the more the inherent characteristics of some seasonings will be suppressed or lost..."

"If the selection is too varied, some unexpected tastes may occur."

"To find a satisfactory blend of spices, the limit is about twenty types."

"Unless you have extremely high confidence in your talents and knowledge."

"Otherwise, not exceeding this limit is the primary principle for ensuring the flavor!"

"..."

Lu Xuanyu spoke eloquently, sharing his basic knowledge about spices.

Starting with broad categories, the focus shifted to curry itself.

Inspired by Tadokoro Keiki's notebook, Mito Ikumi and Shinoto Hisako also picked up notebooks.

I wrote down the key information Lu Xuanyu mentioned so I could review it later.

Erina Nakiri's initial skepticism gradually transformed into surprise, shock, and admiration...

Lu Xuanyu only briefly touched upon a lot of more in-depth knowledge about spices.

But you can still tell from his reaction.

The field of spices he possessed was completely unfamiliar to the people before him.

"This guy... has more than just innate talent and ability!"

"Is even their theoretical knowledge this impressive?"

"Damn it... I have to go through so much trouble to figure out all those professional rankings!"

"Could it be that he...he..."
