Food Wars: Starting with Equipping the Greedy Wolf Pot

"You bastard, do you even know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that?" Shinohara Yuto stared at Sachi with a gloomy expression.

……

"What an annoying guy."

"So this is what Totsuki Academy students are like?" Yukihira Soma, standing in the crowd, stared with disgust at Shinohara Yuto, who was causing trouble.

Upon hearing the commotion at Xiang's Chinese Restaurant, Soma Yukihira and his son returned to Xiang's family's small shop.

After hearing about Totsuki Academy from Mayumi Kurase and the others yesterday, Soma Yukihira actually had high hopes for Totsuki Academy.

A culinary school at the pinnacle of Japanese cuisine, training countless outstanding chefs for the Japanese culinary world, a culinary mecca that chefs from all over the world aspire to visit...

How could someone like Soma Yukihira, who was single-mindedly focused on defeating Joichiro Yukihira and making Yukihira Restaurant the world's number one restaurant, not feel a sense of longing?

However, upon seeing Shinohara Yuto causing trouble, Yukihira Soshin's feelings of affection and longing for Totsuki Academy that he had developed the day before vanished.

The fact that Totsuki Academy has a student like Shinohara Yuto shows that Totsuki Academy isn't anything special, and it's not that great compared to other academies.

Compared to Soma Yukihira, Joichiro Yukihira was much calmer.

Culinary skills are not the same as character. A good chef is not necessarily a good person, and a good person is not necessarily a good chef.

Moreover, Totsuki Culinary Academy was founded with the aim of cultivating elite chefs for the Japanese culinary world, emphasizing competition, and personal character is not a consideration at Totsuki Culinary Academy.

When Yukihira Joichiro was studying at Totsuki Academy, he had seen countless scoundrels, so Shinohara Yuto was nothing compared to them.

……

"Get lost. You think you can cause trouble here? Believe me or not, I'll chop you in half with one sword." After hearing Shinohara Yuto's words, how could Sachi not guess that the guy in front of him was deliberately here to cause trouble?

In the blink of an eye, Sachi had pulled her chainsaw from under her maid's skirt.

Maid's skirt and chainsaw.

The high-speed spinning chainsaw emitted a piercing screeching sound, instantly startling Shinohara Yuto.

Not only him, but the surrounding guests were also taken aback.

Chainsaw?

The front desk maid looks so pretty and cute, yet she uses such a terrifying thing as a chainsaw and can lift it up with one hand. Is Xiang's Chinese Restaurant really a proper restaurant?

……

However, not everyone is intimidated by Sachi's chainsaw, such as Soma Yukihira and his son.

"Oh my god, so cool~" Soma Yukihira's eyes lit up as he looked at the chainsaw that Sachi was holding up with one hand.

"So it was her? Sergeant Saki from Midnight Chef."

"I never imagined that a chef of this caliber would be hiding in Tokyo, Japan, and in such a small roadside shop, just as a waiter," Yukihira Joichiro murmured.

The moment Sachi pulled out his chainsaw, Joichiro Yukihira's nose immediately caught the spice from it, and he instantly guessed Sachi's identity.

A pretty woman, a chef, and a chainsaw.

Besides Sachi, which is known as "armored cuisine," who else could it be?

You can find very few chefs in the world who can use a chainsaw, especially a female chef.

……

"What do you want to do?"

"I didn't come here to fight you, I came here for a food battle." Shinohara Yuto looked at Sachi with a pale face, afraid that Sachi might accidentally lose his grip on the chainsaw.

“Food Wars? You’re saying you’ve come to our restaurant for a food war?” Sachi said coldly.

"Yes, Food Wars."

"Your restaurant could never possibly hire students from Totsuki Academy as chefs, yet you shamelessly use Totsuki's reputation to promote your restaurant."

“They said your cooking is the cooking of Totsuki Academy students.”

"Absolutely ridiculous."

"I, Shinohara Yuto, will never allow anything to tarnish the reputation of Totsuki Culinary Arts." Seeing that Sachi seemed to have no intention of using force, Shinohara Yuto immediately regained his courage.

"If I win..."

“Your restaurant must publicly apologize to Totsuki Television and newspapers,” Shinohara Yuto said in a deep voice.

……

"So this blind box shumai wasn't originally a dish created by Totsuki Academy students, but rather a promotional tactic for the restaurant? No wonder the Totsuki students came knocking on our door!"

"How is this possible?"

"How could the shumai at this restaurant not be made by Totsuki Culinary Academy students?"

"This guy is a student of Totsuki Academy. Do you really think you know more about Totsuki than a student of Totsuki Academy?"

"Yes, yes."

"Who says only students from Totsuki Academy can make such delicious food? Maybe the chef comes from the Chinese cuisine world? This restaurant is a Chinese cuisine restaurant."

"Hey, hey, hey, you're standing over there."

"I don't care who's on my side, as long as the food is delicious, that's enough for me. I don't care if it's from Totsuki or not."

"That's right, as long as the food tastes good, that's enough."

……

As soon as Shinohara Yuto finished speaking, a series of discussions immediately arose among the surrounding crowd.

But amidst these discussions, there was a somewhat incongruous voice of doubt.

"Dad, what is this guy's food war?" Soma Yukihira blinked at Joichiro Yukihira.

Yukihira Joichiro: "..."

No, it turns out my son doesn't even know what a food war is?

“Soma, Food Wars are cooking battles. First, there must be a notary to prove that a Food War is valid. Then there must be an odd number of judges. And Food Wars also require…” Yukihira Joichiro sighed deeply.

"Oh, so Food Wars is a culinary battle!" Soma Yukihira exclaimed, slapping his palm in realization.

"Seriously, if it's a cooking competition, just call it a cooking competition. This guy insists on calling it a food war. I thought food war was something else entirely."

Chapter 153 The Underground Culinary World and the Dark Duel

"Dad, do you think the owner of this Xiang's Chinese Restaurant will agree to a culinary duel with this guy?" Soma Yukihira couldn't help but continue to ask Joichiro Yukihira.

“Yes, he will agree,” Yukihira Joichiro replied softly.

"Yes, that's true."

"If it were my family's restaurant that was approached like that, I would also agree to that food war without hesitation," Soma Yukihira replied casually.

Although a food battle requires the consent of both parties to be able to compete, and in principle you won't lose if you don't accept, in many cases there is simply no room for refusal.

For example, right now, Shinohara Yuto has openly approached Xiang's Chinese Restaurant and even brought up Totsuki.

If Xiang Ji refuses Shinohara Yuto's challenge, it means that Xiang's Chinese Restaurant acknowledges Shinohara Yuto's words and also considers himself no match for Shinohara Yuto.

Whether it's the former or the latter, both are devastating blows to the reputation of any restaurant.

This is similar to a challenge in the Chinese martial arts world. When someone blocks your door, you only have one option: to break the teeth of the troublemaker.

If you can't win, then you can only wait to be finished.

……

When Shinohara Yuto bravely declared that he was there for the Food Wars, Sachi's eyes instantly turned incredibly dangerous, like a tiger ready to devour its prey.

Although Sachi spent this time working as a manager at Polaris Dormitory and even tried to create some special plots that people on a certain pink app would enjoy.

But Sachi is still a late-night chef operating in the gray areas of the culinary world, and a ruthless sergeant skilled in military-themed cooking.

This is something that can't be erased by working as a student dormitory manager for a few days or wearing a maid's skirt for a few days.

"So you bastard came here to cause trouble for my darling?" Sachi swung the chainsaw in his hand forcefully.

"A food battle? I agree."

“I don’t even need my darling to lift a finger; I can tear you bastard to shreds.” Sachi’s expression turned bloodthirsty.

"But are you really ready for a food battle with me, you bastard?"

"Arms, thighs..."

"Which part of your body are you prepared to wager in this food battle, or are you going to wager your life?" Sachi's voice held a hint of suppressed madness.

Arm? Thigh? Life?

Upon hearing Sachi's words, Shinohara Yuto's face immediately turned deathly pale. As a student, Shinohara Yuto had never experienced anything like this before.

The food battles that Shinohara Yuto participated in at Totsuki Culinary Arts were nothing more than the stakes of cooking utensils, recipes, and ingredients. There was no food battle where someone like Sachi wagered their life like this.

Not to mention Shinohara Yuto, the surrounding guests were also quite startled after hearing Sachi's words.

"Hey, hey, hey, you bastard, haven't you thought this through yet?"

"You should know that a food battle requires the consent of both parties to be valid, right?"

“Answer me, what do you want to bet on this food battle? Your arm? Your thigh? Or something else?” Sachi continued to put pressure on Shinohara Yuto.

……

"Dad, was she... was she serious just now?" Soma Yukihira couldn't help but swallow.

Arm? Thigh? Life?

The woman in front of me is actually betting these things in a cooking competition! What does she take cooking for?

That's absolutely true!

Upon hearing Soma Yukihira's incredulous voice, Joichiro Yukihira really wanted to answer him like this.

White is just the outer layer of the culinary world around the world; hidden beneath the white are gray and pitch black, which are difficult for ordinary people to access.

Speaking specifically of the Japanese culinary world.

It is a culinary elimination tournament in which Japan's top conglomerates determine the market share of chefs based on their culinary skills. The outcome of each food battle is related to the huge profits and industry status of the Japanese cuisine industry.

Going a step further, there is a special food battle called Dark Duel, the most famous of which in the Japanese culinary world are the various illegal underground food battles organized by the Teiai Group.

And how could Sergeant Saki, a chef who operates in the gray areas of the culinary world, not have had such an experience?

Even Joichiro Yukihira once represented Totsuki Academy and the Nakiri family in a special food battle called the Culinary Annihilation Elimination Tournament.

……

Agree? Answer?

What kind of joke is this bastard woman in front of me playing? How could I possibly gamble my body and life on a food battle?

Shinohara Yuto stared at Sachi with a deathly pale face, instinctively wanting to refuse, but he opened his mouth for a long time without being able to utter a single word.

Eizan Edazuya!

Just as Shinohara Yuto was about to refuse and call Sachi a madman, the image of Eizan Etsuya's cold expression flashed through his mind.

No, we cannot retreat, we absolutely cannot retreat.

Although Shinohara Yuto has now allied himself with Eizan Ezuya in order to stay in Totsuki, Shinohara Yuto knows how ruthless Eizan Ezuya is.

If he were to back down now, all his previous efforts would be wasted, and the task entrusted to him by Eizan Etsu would be a complete failure.

Eizan Etsuya's Eizan Group doesn't need useless people.

……

"I see. You and your restaurant are scared, aren't you? That's why you deliberately made such a bet so that I would refuse your food battle, right?"

"Arm? Thigh?"

"Do you think I'll be scared by you guys like this?" Shinohara Yuto said, trying to sound brave.
