Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

"It's okay, I just fainted from hunger."

Managi continued in a slightly hoarse voice, "Thank you. If you hadn't come back in time, tomorrow's news would probably have reported that WGO's only Special Class Executive Officer had ended up starving to death!"

"Samagi-sama."

"I...I don't want you to die."

Anne is a sentimental person, and in addition, she has been Nakiri Managi's personal secretary for many years, so her relationship with Managi has long transcended the distinction between master and servant.

"rest assured."

"With you here, of course I won't die."

Looking up and seeing Annie, Nakiri Managi's eyes welled up with tears.

Since leaving the Nakiri family 10 years ago and meeting Anne in France, Anne has personally taken care of his daily life.

It's fair to say that without her, I wouldn't be alive today.

perhaps.

For her, who was adrift in a foreign land.

No matter when, there are always some things that are irreplaceable.

The most important reason why intelligent beings are intelligent beings is that they all have rich emotions.

At the same time, Managi, who had just eaten caviar and felt nauseous, suddenly realized:

Time for yourself.

It seems there really aren't many left!

……

half an hour.

The two women finally calmed down.

"How much do you know about the activities of the late-night chefs lately?"

Nakiri Managi couldn't help but ask Anne.

"They've recently been holding a Dark Cuisine Competition, and a genius boy named Saiba Asahi has defeated all his opponents and become the leader of the Dark Cuisine world!"

Upon hearing this, Anne told the truth.

"Oh? The new leader?"

Upon hearing this, Managi immediately became interested.

Unlike the open and aboveboard world of fine dining, the dark world of cuisine is filled with the culinary philosophy that "wealth equals power."

therefore.

The so-called "late-night chef".

It's nothing more than a chef organization that uses illegitimate means to expand its power!

The members of this organization almost all possess special abilities, or superpowers. For example, Don Kama's "cooperative shaking" ability allows him to create colorful foam sauces using a special shaker, and the effect can be enhanced by multiple people working together.

Logically speaking, as the world's most authoritative food organization, the WGO should not have any business dealings or collusion with such a culinary culinary culinary scoundrel.

however.

Because they have been unable to find a dish that can conquer God's tongue.

Therefore, Nakiri Managi is now desperate and has no choice but to place her hopes on this culinary organization hiding in the shadows!

……

"Samagi-sama."

Finally, Anne sees through Nakiri Managi's feelings.

He planned to tell her everything he had seen and heard at the headquarters of the "Chef King International Culinary Association": "I know you're planning to contact Asahi Saiba, but there's actually a supernova emerging in the world of culinary arts right now!"

"Ugh!"

"As good as a head chef in a three-star restaurant."

"They can no longer satisfy my divine tongue with food."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Nakiri Managi was not excited, but rather frustrated: "Isn't it the same for other chefs?"

"He's different!"

Anne said with a determined look in her eyes.

She then vividly recounted Ye Chen's performance at the banquet, especially the jewel-like piece of meat, to Nakiri Managi.

……

At last.

To know the ins and outs of the matter.

Nakiri Managi frowned and pondered, "You mean this kind of meat is called Gem Flesh? It's elephant meat that can combine the flesh of various parts of the body into one, and it can also emit a gem-like light, and most importantly..."

"Is it its scent, so fragrant that it haunts your dreams?"

"Correct!"

Anne nodded.

Then, patting his chest, he confidently declared to Managi, "I guarantee that you won't find ingredients of this perfect quality anywhere in the world."

"And I also believe that only Ye Chen in the whole world can cure Lady Managi's anorexia."

"Where?" Upon hearing this, Managi's eyes flashed, as if she had made up her mind.

"Hey?"

Annie paused, taken aback.

"That chef named Ye Chen."

"Isn't that little restaurant he runs in downtown Paris?"

Unable to contain her excitement any longer, Managi finally exclaimed, "It's very close to our WGO headquarters, so there's no time like the present. I want to go and meet him in person and witness the allure of the Jewel Flesh!"

"Yes!"

"I...I understand, I'll go arrange it right away."

After saying this, Anne, who was serving as his personal secretary, quickly withdrew.

……

at the same time.

In a street not far from downtown Paris.

It is like an old man forgotten by the hustle and bustle, quietly curled up in a corner of the city, far away from the noise of the Champs-Élysées and the magnificence of the Arc de Triomphe, guarding its own tranquility and simplicity.

And right at the corner of this street, there is an inconspicuous little restaurant!

Its storefront is not large.

The wooden sign reads "Le Petit Coin," which means "little corner" in French.

As soon as I opened the door, a fragrant aroma mixed with the scent of food wafted towards me.

Take a closer look.

The restaurant's interior was decorated in a very warm and inviting manner.

Several small wooden tables and chairs were neatly arranged, while a chandelier hung from the ceiling, casting a warm, yellow light into every corner and creating a cozy atmosphere.

That's right, this is the small restaurant run by Ye Chen, the gold medalist of the Escofi Youth Culinary Competition!

Chapter 6 The Startling Apple

Speaking of French cuisine...

The first impression everyone gets is that it's high-end, expensive, and takes a long time to eat.

Actually, these are all stereotypes!

Ye Chen's small restaurant specializes in traditional French dishes, such as broth, eggs with mayonnaise, snails with parsley, veal, ham and cheese sandwiches, foie gras, and French borscht.

These dishes are all delicious and inexpensive.

In addition, the seasonal menu changes every month.

All the ingredients are flavored perfectly, and the daily import of ingredients is limited to ensure freshness every day.

Basically, it's mostly local residents, students, teachers, and tourists who come to eat.

……

at this time.

The restaurant door was gently pushed open.

A refreshing breeze, carrying a faint scent of perfume, drifted in.
