The King of Elden's Multiverse Life

"I'm reminded of my first love..."

"I really want to fall in love!"

Shinomiya Kojiro frowned as he watched the graduates' reactions.

"Really? Why such a big reaction?"

At that moment, Erina came over with her own dishes and placed both her dishes and Alice's dishes in front of him.

"Senior Shinomiya, you'll know once you've tasted it."

Then, looking at the judges, he said, "Vegetable and quail meat rolls, please enjoy."

"Oh? Is it made with quail meat (85210, 4278)?"

Looking at the exquisite meat rolls on the plate, Dojima Gin couldn't resist reaching for his knife and fork just from the aroma emanating from them.

Shinomiya Kojiro looked at the two dishes in front of him with an extremely serious expression, and then picked up his knife and fork.

Meanwhile, after tasting Erina's cooking, Luo Yu looked at her happily and said, "You've improved again. When we get back, shouldn't we try to improve your ranking among the Elite Ten?"

Erina responded with a smile: "I'd like to, but it's a bit difficult. A food war between the Elite Ten, where seats are used as stakes, isn't something that's easy to decide. Even if I wanted to, I doubt many people would agree."

While Luo Yu and Erina were chatting, the others slowly recovered from the shock of the food.

Alice opened her eyes, glared at Erina, and said angrily, "What? Why is Erina's progress greater than mine? I figured it out first!"

Erina proudly stated, "Because I'm more talented than you, it's that simple."

Then he turned and walked towards the judges' table, with Alice following closely behind. The two then began their usual bickering.

On the judges' panel, Kojiro Shinomiya stared in disbelief at the two dishes he had already tasted.

Although he had never been in a relationship, he could still sense the emotions contained in the food and the difference between the food and the chef's spirit.

Alice's molecular gastronomy tasted excellent, but I was confident I could beat hers. However, Erina's...

Although he didn't want to admit it, Kojiro Shinomiya knew that he had lost this time.

Her cooking skills are in no way inferior to mine, but I can't match her focus on her own dishes, her various ideas and thoughts, her imaginative use of seasonings, or even her deeper research into her own culinary philosophy.

Looking at Gin Dojima, who was staring at him with his arms crossed, Kojiro Shinomiya said, "Is this your purpose?"

Dojima Gin smiled and said, "To be honest, I was quite surprised too. I didn't expect their skills to improve so quickly, and they've even found a way to reach a higher level as chefs. It's not just about paying attention to the surface, but about delving into the heart. A love for food, a sensitivity to customers, and even, like them, making a dish specifically for a particular person, imbuing it with your own heart—these are all things you need to learn. Shinomiya, you've reached the pinnacle in France, but there are still many areas you can explore in the culinary world. Standing still won't do."

Hearing Dojima Gin's words, the other graduates who had been called over realized that Shinomiya Kojiro had actually hit a bottleneck.

Hinako Inui looked thoughtfully at the two empty plates in front of her and said, "Although we have always said that chefs should have passion for their food and incorporate their own emotions into it, how exactly do we do that? This is the first time I have experienced this feeling today."

Erina didn't speak, but looked at Alice who was standing to the side.

Alice smiled and waved to Tadokoro Megumi, who was not far away, calling the puzzled girl over.

With her hands on Megumi's shoulders, Alice smiled and said, "I only realized this after I met Megumi. Megumi's cooking has a very warm feeling to it. It's a chef's philosophy of thinking about the diners and improving the recipes for the diners' taste buds. Although Megumi is still very young, she will definitely become a super amazing chef in the future!"

Hearing Alice's praise and facing the gazes of so many seniors, Tadokoro Megumi, unsurprisingly, blushed and quickly raised her hand to cover her face.

"I...I...I'm not that amazing!"

Chapter 228 Alice Gets Her Wish (2/2)

As expected, Erina won the food war with a unanimous vote in the end.

According to the judges' comments, Alice was only slightly inferior to Kojiro Shinomiya in terms of cooking skills, but the difference was not significant. In fact, with her superb molecular gastronomy skills, she could even catch people off guard on certain topics.

Alice had anticipated this result after seeing the dishes Erina had prepared, so she wasn't disappointed.

After Luo Yu and his group left the culinary research institute, Shinomiya Kojiro remained there and slowly finished eating both dishes.

Dojima Gin sat to the side, watching him along with the other graduates, and asked with a smile, "How are you feeling?"

Putting down his knife and fork, wiping his mouth, Shinomiya Kojiro said calmly, "After the accommodation training, I will go back to France, then suspend the restaurant's operations, and then come back to start again."

"Oh?"

Dojima Gin showed a hint of interest. "That was a decisive decision. How about coming to Totsuki Resort to help me out?"

“I can consider it, but not in the short term. I plan to travel around. Over the years, my perspective has become somewhat rigid, and I need to find a new direction.”

Pushing up his glasses, Kojiro Shinomiya stood up.

"Thank you for your help this time, Dojima-senpai. I'll be going now to prepare for tomorrow's lessons."

Watching Shinomiya Kojiro leave, Inui Hinako asked curiously, "Shinomiya-senpai, you've changed a bit."

Dojima Gin nodded and said, "After all, he's just a pure chef. It's just that in pursuit of his initial goal, he gave up many things he thought were unimportant, but he also neglected the most essential aspects. In a while, we should be able to see the changes in him. Alright, let's not stay here any longer, let's go have lunch."

Luo Yu and his group also found a restaurant in the Far Moon Resort and went to have lunch together.

These three dishes from the Food Wars wouldn't even be enough to fill their teeth.

However, after arriving at the restaurant and ordering the food, Luo Yu was pulled away from the private room by Alice and Erina, one on each side.

Letina looked at Lani and asked softly, "Lady Lani, won't this cause any problems?"

Lani calmly took a sip of tea and replied, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Meanwhile, Hayasaka Ai looked at the closed door of the private room and whispered to Kaguya Shinomiya beside her, "Kaguya-sama, you could feel it from the dish that Erina made just now, right? It was practically a confession."

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded with a somewhat complicated expression: "I really didn't expect that a dish could contain such emotions. It never did before."

"This means that something definitely happened between her and Luo Yujun in just one day."

Hayasaka Ai was a little annoyed. She hadn't even won over Luo Yu yet, so how come Erina had already gotten involved with Luo Yu without her noticing?

While thinking about it, Hayasaka Ai secretly sent a message to Haruno on her phone to ask her a question.

When Haruno saw that the question was sent by Hayasaka Ai, she glanced at the sender and replied simply.

Yang Nai: [What Yu-kun told me last night was that Erina was still in the kitchen researching cooking. Something must have happened while he was downstairs. If you're in a hurry, hurry up! I really believe in Ai-na, so good luck!]

No, I think you just want to have some fun.

Although she saw through Haruno's thoughts, Hayasaka Ai knew that she had to take action.

On the other side, Luo Yu, who had just left the private room, was led by Erina and Alice to an empty private room not far away. As soon as they entered, Erina locked the door.

Pulling out a chair and sitting down, Luo Yu looked at the two girls who had pulled him out and asked with a smile, "What did you bring me out to talk about?"

Erina shook her head: "It's not me, it's Alice."

Then, Alice sat directly on Luo Yu's lap, glaring at him angrily, and said, "Luo Yu-kun, did something happen between you and Erina? You definitely did!"

Luo Yu smiled and looked at Erina, who was smiling: "You didn't tell her?"

"I think it's better if you tell us yourself, since you were the one who did it, Luo Yu-jun~~"

Luo Yu shook his head helplessly and looked at Alice, saying, "Last night, Erina was researching something by herself in the kitchen, and then I kissed her, um, that's it."

"Huh? They kissed? Could it be..."

Alice pointed to her lips, and then Luo Yu and Erina nodded in unison.

Erina then revealed a smug smile, looking at Alice and saying, "Alice, I won this time."

"Ugh! How could this happen!" Alice looked at Erina with displeasure. "You hadn't done anything before, and you still managed to get ahead!"

Then she turned to look at Luo Yu.

"Luo Yujun, how could you be so unable to resist temptation?!"

Letting Alice shake his shoulders, Luo Yu smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do. Erina is so cute. I'm a normal man too."

"Hmph, you playboy!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Yu hugged her tightly.

"Alright, no need to envy others anymore, now it's your turn."

"Huh? Um..."

Before Alice could react, Luo Yu attacked.

Erina was surprised by Luo Yu's decisiveness and blushed, looking at the two people in front of her with some confusion.

Although she had expected this to happen, it still felt a little awkward to see it unfold before her eyes.

However, thinking of the sisters Yukino and Haruno made me feel much better; after all, it wasn't like there wasn't a precedent.

Under Luo Yu's advances, Alice was quickly won over, and he promised to take her on a proper date once the accommodation training ended.

Then Erina was the same; she was assigned one day each, and that was how it was distributed.

Alice pursed her slightly swollen lips, her eyes shining with satisfaction, and happily looked at Luo Yu, saying, "There are no classes this afternoon, Luo Yu-kun, let's cook dinner tonight!"

Luo Yu said with a smile, "Grandpa Senzaemon is coming today, aren't you going to entertain him?"

Alice shook her head and said, "No need, it's enough that Dojima-senpai is here to entertain Grandpa, right, Erina?"

Erina nodded in agreement: "That's right, at worst we can let Grandpa try our cooking during the assessment."

Tsk tsk, so this is siding with outsiders. If the old man knew, he'd probably cry.

Chapter 229 Jianzi and Xiaohua finally find an opportunity (1/2)

After taking Erina and Alice back to the private room, everyone began their lunch.

Although they were curious about what the three of them talked about outside, Erina and Alice kept quiet, and Luo Yu naturally wouldn't say anything more, so the others had no way of knowing.

But it was clear that Erina and Alice were in a very good mood, extremely good.

After lunch, there were no classes today, so it was a rare time to rest. Luo Yu took Erina and the others to play at the Far Moon Resort.

As a comprehensive resort, there are many fun things to do here. Even Erina and Alice from the main family haven't been able to explore the whole place.

"I didn't expect there to be a small amusement park here."

Watching the girls happily riding the carousel, Luo Yu, who was watching from outside, smiled and shook his head.

"Luo Yujun, here, your ice cream!!!"

Xiao Hua's voice came from behind, and the girl walked over with two ice creams, handing one to Luo Yu.

Luo Yu took the bite, smiled, and asked, "Aren't you going to play?"

Xiao Hua happily licked her ice cream, then shook her head and said, "No, I don't really like playing this. Let's go to the haunted house later!"

"Haunted house?"

Luo Yu looked at Xiao Hua in surprise, "You can already defeat evil spirits by yourself, why do you still want to go to a haunted house?"

Xiao Hua said proudly, "I'm really not afraid of ghosts and monsters anymore, but haunted houses are so much fun, it would be a shame not to go! Let's go!"

At this moment, Jianzi, who had gone to the bathroom, returned and looked at Luo Yu expectantly after hearing Xiaohua's suggestion.

Seeing that Zi had been trying to find an opportunity to spend time with Luo Yu these past two days, but had not had the chance, she naturally wholeheartedly agreed to Xiao Hua's suggestion.

Seeing that both of them wanted to go, Luo Yu had no choice but to take them to the haunted house in the amusement park.

It's Friday, and there weren't many guests at the Far Moon Resort. There was no queue at the haunted house either, so we went straight in.

Once inside the haunted house, the two girls decisively grabbed Luo Yu's arms, one on each side.

Feeling the softness on both sides, Luo Yu laughed and said, "You wouldn't dare to do that outside, but you're taking the initiative here in the dark?"

In the dim light, neither of the two girls spoke. When Luo Yu could clearly feel their heartbeats quickening, he stopped talking and led them forward.

As an amusement park attraction within the Far Moon Resort, the haunted house here is quite professionally made. The staff members are all meticulously made up, and the props are all very realistic, making it a truly real-life haunted house.

At first, Jianzi and Xiaohua were genuinely frightened by the first few scenes, but they got used to it later. They were simply amazed by the exquisite details of the scenes, but they weren't scared anymore.

After successfully leaving the haunted house and getting used to the sunlight, the two girls still didn't let go of Luo Yu, clinging to his arms as before.

Luo Yu laughed and said, "Haunted houses are quite fun, but fake is fake after all. How about we find a real haunted house to explore later?"

A real haunted house?

Seeing that Zi had shrank back, he whispered, "No, is it really necessary?"

Xiao Hua asked excitedly, "A haunted house? Does that mean we can encounter powerful evil spirits? Jianzi and I have only managed to eliminate some weaker evil spirits that came near our house recently!"

Luo Yu thought for a moment and said, "There should be some, but these days, most powerful evil spirits are dealt with by exorcists and the like, after all, it's all about money. So if we want to find one, we'll have to look deep in the mountains and forests. I'll ask around later, and if we find one, we can go and take a look together. With me here, you don't have to worry about encountering any danger."

Seeing that Zi was still a little scared, Xiao Hua nodded excitedly in agreement.

"It's a deal then, Luo Yujun, let's go together!"

As they talked, the three of them returned to the carousel.
