Comprehensive Comics KanColle: Building a Dimensional Empire from Scratch

He snapped his fingers and a small spaceship appeared outside the window.

"correct."

Lu Chen remembered something else.

"Where are those Totsuki chefs? They must have been training here for a while."

"Bring it up here and let me see how we can improve the food so that we don't just have to eat tail meat every time we have a party."

……

Chapter 500: Commander's Party, First Come First Served

Imperial Logistics Department.

The Totsuki chefs, led by Erina Nakiri, are working busily.

After studying here from Totsuki, I was a little uncomfortable at first.

However, after settling down in life and patiently studying cooking skills, one will find that the Star Sea Empire is simply a dream country for a chef.

Here gathers all kinds of magical ingredients from all over the world, some of which have flavors that have never been heard of or seen on earth.

The chefs who were once at the top of Totsuki, and even the top of the world, once again have the joy of discovering the unknown.

Even God's Tongue had to admit that he needed to re-examine his cooking skills here.

"Um……"

Erina gently cut a piece of monster meat of unknown material from the frying pan and tasted it.

"Hmm, it's a bit like beef, but with more chewy muscle fibers? I suggest making it into Beef Wellington. I'll research the ingredients a bit more."

"Your previous cooking techniques were too simple."

Nearby, the royal maids looked on in amazement.

Her sensitivity to taste gives her a huge advantage in identifying ingredients. She is simply born to be a top chef.

Although in the previous Food Wars, the chefs of Totsuki were completely crushed by the not-so-serious chefs of the Star Empire.

However, that competition relied mostly on the advantage of ingredients. Ningning Jizhiguo and Longdan Kobayashi couldn't even compete with the ingredients, so naturally they couldn't make any decent dishes.

When the chefs of Totsuki figured out the properties of various raw materials and combined ingredients from all over the world with their own cooking knowledge, everyone discovered that they were quite capable.

I often come up with all kinds of dishes that look strange but taste very good.

"Well, next, I want to try the meat of another dangerous species and see how to cook it..."

While Erina was thinking.

Swah——

Befa took a small shuttle, landed outside, pushed the door open and walked in.

"Maid-maid."

The Almighty Angel and the Royal Maid immediately bowed their heads in greeting, and Erina and the Totsuki chefs followed suit.

Beifa is nominally Lu Chen's maid, but in fact she manages most of the affairs of the logistics department.

It's like they are his immediate superiors.

"Erina."

Befa walked straight towards her.

"The Commander has returned victorious from his expedition to another world. He's hosting a celebration banquet on the Ten Thousand Years of Snowstorm. He specifically wants you to come up and cook to see what you've learned recently."

"Behave yourself."

"???"

"scare?!"

Erina Nakiri and Chef Totsuki were shocked.

Lu Chen, the commander of the Xinghai Empire, is a high and mighty, unattainable person to ordinary cooks like them.

Apart from the fact that they had just been brought back and met once when they participated in the Food Wars competition, they had not had much contact.

From the information here, the chefs learned that he was a powerful being who controlled a huge fleet and could cause the stars to collapse with a thought.

It was already a special favor that he could accompany me to a cooking competition on a whim. Normally, I would never dare to take the initiative to look for him.

"Ehhhhh-"

Tanomo Kei, who has always been timid and fearful, became at a loss.

"Right now?! But we're not ready yet..."

"Don't be nervous. The commander just wants to see your abilities. Just do your best."

Befa said with a smile.

"I believe your cooking skills are good enough to board the Ten Thousand Years Snowstorm and cook for the Commander and his closest companions."

"hiss……"

Kobayashi Ryodou and Erina looked at each other.

"Cooking in front of the Commander? ...This opportunity came sooner than I expected."

"I still want to practice for a while longer..."

"You're late. This is a routine project of the Star Sea Empire."

Belfa patted Erina's shoulder.

"Commanders often travel to various worlds on expeditions, expanding territory for the Star Sea Empire and bringing back all sorts of amazing technologies, techniques, and magical artifacts from other worlds."

"When he returns triumphantly, he will definitely invite all those who participated in the expedition and his closest companions to celebrate on the Ten Thousand Years of Snowstorm."

"It is your honor to be aboard the Imperial flagship. Take advantage of it."

"..."

Totsuki chefs understand the honor of cooking on the Imperial flagship, which is similar to the status of cooking for the head of state on Earth.

——Even higher, after all, no national leader can compare with the commander of the Ten Thousand Worlds Empire.

"Where's the recipe? Should we follow the Xinghai Empire's recipe, or..."

Erina asked.

"You decide for yourself."

Befa replied.

"Back on the Wannian Fengxue, it was usually Thor or Yixian who were in charge of cooking."

"The commander probably thought it wasn't a good idea to have tail meat at every party... oh no, every celebration party, so he sent you up."

"Hiss...customized recipe?"

The chefs at Totsuki are under even greater pressure.

I followed Befa and asked a bunch of commanders and other people about their dietary taboos, food preferences, etc.

The head maid felt that she was indeed a professional chef.

Because when Thor served the Ke family dishes, he never asked others whether they liked them.

……

……

A little later.

hum-

A small spaceship, carrying the Totsuki chefs, boarded the towering ship outside the Earth's orbit.

The planet-class starship is large enough to accommodate a large living area, so there is no scene of military facilities everywhere as Erina imagined.

Instead, it looks a bit like a high-tech space fortress.

In the bridge, a group of Totsuki chefs, carrying kitchen utensils, greeted Lu Chen tremblingly.

"Greetings, Commander."

"Follow your orders and we will cook for you."

Erina and Kobayashi Ryodo looked around.

Most of those invited were companions who had a close relationship with Lu Chen.

Richelieu, Taiho, Yixian, Mio, Thor...

Asking for flowers

Nagato was still lying on Lu Chen's legs, wagging his big tail and enjoying the petting service.

In their eyes, they are all a group of strong people who cannot be provoked.

Of course, what chefs have in mind is even simpler: What do they like to eat?!

"Hmm... I heard from Befa that you guys have made great progress recently?"

Lu Chen stood up and walked forward to glance at the chefs.

"You are too kind, Maid-sama."

Erina lowered her head and bowed slightly.

"Don't be so nervous, just go."

Lu Chen waved his hand.

"Besides, it's not as simple as just cooking a meal. We'll be staying on the Wannian Fengxue for a while, and you'll be responsible for our meals during this time."

"To the outside world, it was just one night."

"In your spare time, you can also move around freely and look around."

Following the direction of his finger, the Totsuki chefs looked out the window.

The earth and the starry sky outside the window seemed to be still.

"Manipulating time?!"

Erina looked at Lu Chen's expression again, as if she had seen a god.

I can't understand or imagine how powerful this is.

They all retreated in a nod and went to the kitchen to prepare nervously.

……

"Commander, you seem to have scared them?"

Miss Shen Zi in his arms asked, shaking her ears.

She always felt that these cooks were too humble. Just now, when Tadokoro Megumi saw the omnipotent angel cleaning, she subconsciously saluted.

"Ordinary people are like this. You get used to it after a while."

Lu Chen was not surprised and hugged Kanae who was sitting next to him.

"You were like this when you first arrived in the capital. You didn't dare to speak loudly and you had to bow to me and other ship girls when you saw them."

"Now...tsk, that's a bit presumptuous."

"How could I? I was scared by you guys when I first came here..."

Kanae stood up angrily and saluted Lu Chen with an exaggerated gesture.

"My humble self, Kanae, greets the Commander."

"Look at you, you even dare to talk back."

Lu Chen smiled and pinched her face.
