The King of Elden's Multiverse Life

Amidst the shouts of the sumo researchers, the sumo research building was directly pushed down by these heavy bulldozers, turning it into a pile of wreckage.

Seeing this, Luo Yu showed no sympathy and said with a smile, "The winner takes all. Totsuki Academy's teaching theory, although it seems cruel, can select the best chefs. However, your elimination rate is really high. Even those who lose in the Food Wars may be expelled directly."

Senzaemon Nakiri said nonchalantly, "One of the key reasons why Totsuki Culinary Arts has been able to develop to its current level is the theory it has always adhered to. Now that the food battle is over, please follow me. It's about time for lunch."

What follows is the main event.

Chapter 100 Erina Nakiri, Alice Nakiri (1/2)

As soon as they came out of the Food Wars arena, they saw Hisako Shinto, still wearing her white chef's uniform, waiting there.

As she ran over, Hisako Shinto respectfully greeted, "Commander-in-Chief!"

Then, their gazes turned curiously to Luo Yu and the others.

Senzaemon Nakiri nodded: "Yes, you did well. Let me introduce you. This is Luo Yu-kun, who is the new shareholder of Totsuki and Totsuki Resort. The shares previously held by the Shinomiya family have all been transferred to his name. You, Erina, and Luo Yu-kun are all young people, so you will have more opportunities to get to know each other in the future. Now come with us, and we can go and help Erina who is preparing."

This guy is actually the rumored new shareholder?

Hisako Niito originally thought the new shareholders would be the old man Nurarihyon, but she didn't expect it to be a young man.

Looking at Hisako Shinoto, Luo Yu smiled and nodded: "Hello, Shinoto-san, we just tasted your dish, and it was very delicious."

After a brief moment of surprise, Hisako Shinomiya humbly said, "I'm glad you all like it. My cooking skills are not good enough yet, and I still need to learn more from Erina-sama."

After boarding a vehicle inside Totsuki Academy, the group quickly arrived at the villa where Senzaemon Nakiri lived.

Hisako Shinto went straight to the kitchen, while Luo Yu and the others, led by Senzaemon Nakiri, arrived at the villa's courtyard.

"Please have a seat, everyone. Lunch will be ready soon. Erina is working hard on it."

After Nurarihyon sat down, he said with a smile, "Hahaha, it's been a long time since I've been to this place. The last time I came, your granddaughter had only been studying at Totsuki Middle School for a short time, but her cooking skills were already quite good! In just a few short years, she became one of the Elite Ten in her first year of high school. Her future is limitless. I really look forward to seeing how much her cooking skills have improved now."

After taking a sip of tea, Senzaemon Nakiri said, "Erina's cooking skills have indeed improved quite a bit, but her personal shortcomings are also very obvious."

After a pause, Senzaemon Nakiri looked towards Luo Yu.

"Luo Yujun, do you think that a chef only needs to cook good food? Is that enough?"

After thinking for a moment, Luo Yu said, "Let's discuss this separately. If it's a chef in a restaurant, making dishes that customers like is certainly enough. I don't know Erina Nakiri, so I don't know what kind of chef you want to train your granddaughter to be. But after reading some reports about her, I've guessed some of the shortcomings you mentioned. The problem is with her God Tongue, right?"

Senzaemon Nakiri smiled and nodded: "That's right, that's it. As for the specifics, we'll have to wait until we taste her cooking."

Ten minutes later, accompanied by footsteps, Erina Nakiri, followed by three girls, pushed two food carts into the courtyard.

After hearing Hisako's explanation, Erina Nakiri learned that the Totsuki shareholder was actually a young man, which made her curiously glance at Luo Yu after she arrived.

After stopping, Erina Nakiri looked at Senzaemon Nakiri.

"Grandpa, I've prepared the appetizers for lunch."

"Hmm." Although the dishes were covered, Senzaemon Nakiri's keen sense of smell still detected them. He nodded and said, "Erina, let me introduce you. This is our new shareholder of Totsuki Culinary Arts, Luo Yu. Luo Yu-kun, this is my granddaughter, Erina. And this is my other granddaughter, Alice Nakiri, who recently returned from Northern Europe and has been conducting research on molecular gastronomy."

Luo Yu stood up, smiled, and extended his hand to Nakiri Erina: "Hello, Nakiri Erina-san, nice to meet you."

After shaking hands lightly with Luo Yu, Nakiri Erina said, "I really didn't expect that someone would be able to get those shares from the Shinomiya family."

Luo Yu smiled and said, "I didn't expect the Shinomiya family to be so generous, but for them, the shares in Totsuki are indeed not as important as they used to be. If you want to know the specific reasons, Nakiri-kun, you can ask your grandfather."

Senzaemon Nakiri was naturally aware of the Shinomiya family's succession issues.

I just don't know how much he knows about Azami Nakiri.

Then, Luo Yu looked at Alice Nakiri, who was standing next to Erina Nakiri, and had the same good figure and cute face as Erina Nakiri, but with white hair and red eyes.

As a mixed-race individual with half-Nordic ancestry, Alice Nakiri possesses a more playful and adorable charm compared to the haughty Erina Nakiri.

Seeing that Luo Yu was looking at her, Alice Nakiri said with a bright smile, "Hello, Luo Yu-kun! You can just call me Alice! Luo Yu-kun is very handsome!"

Luo Yu smiled and shook hands with Alice Nakiri: "Hello, Alice, you are very beautiful too."

After shaking hands, Luo Yu returned to sit down between Lani and Yukino.

Alice Nakiri looked at Lani and Yukino with even more curiosity, then turned to Senzaemon Nakiri and said, "Grandpa, I've made the appetizers too!"

Senzaemon Nakiri nodded: "Then let's serve the food."

As the lid was opened, a series of exquisite appetizers were served.

Erina Nakiri placed a plate in front of Luo Yu and said confidently, "Smoked salmon and shrimp rolls, please enjoy."

"Mine too! Mine too!"

Not to be outdone, Alice Nakiri served up her own dish.

"A special vegetable salad!"

But looking at these translucent round beads on the plate, is this a vegetable salad?

Yukino, recalling Senzaemon Nakiri's earlier explanation, asked curiously, "Is this molecular gastronomy?"

"Hmph, that's right!" Alice Nakiri said with her hands on her hips, her face full of pride. "This is molecular gastronomy, the most cutting-edge technique in international culinary research!"

Although Erina's dishes look exquisite, it's clear that the uniquely shaped molecular gastronomy dishes are more intriguing.

Therefore, both Lani and Yukino set their sights on Alice's cooking first.

However, Luo Yu didn't pay much attention to Erina's cooking. He directly used his fork to pick up a piece of salmon roll and put it in his mouth.

The next second, he squinted his eyes in satisfaction.

"I'm not a big fan of salmon, but this smoked salmon is exceptionally well-made. Paired with a special cheese sauce and fresh shrimp, it's so delicious that you can't stop eating it. It's like being in the ocean, wave after wave."

As he spoke, he started eating a second one.

Meanwhile, Lani and Yukino were completely absorbed in the molecular gastronomy that Alice had created.

Chapter 101 After Lunch, the Question of the Tongue of God (2/2)

Lani was utterly puzzled as she tasted the flavor in her mouth.

"Even though they look completely different, I really feel like I'm eating a vegetable salad. It's such a unique feeling."

Yukino nodded in agreement: "I've had similar molecular gastronomy dishes before, but they're nothing compared to this."

Alice proudly raised her head: "Hmph, this is the most cutting-edge technology in the world, of course no one else can make it!"

As he spoke, he gave Erina a provocative look.

However, Erina didn't pay much attention to Alice. After serving the appetizers, she went on to prepare the rest of the dishes.

Seeing Erina ignoring her, Alice puffed up her cheeks in anger and followed closely behind Erina to prepare her own main course.

After finishing the appetizers prepared by Erina, Luo Yu glanced at the brown-skinned blonde girl in a chef's uniform walking next to Hisako Shinto.

As Erina just introduced, this Mito Ikumi's story hasn't started yet, so she's still Erina's follower.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Yu began to sample the molecular gastronomy prepared by Alice.

Yes, it does feel very special, and the taste is surprisingly good.

Looking at the two girls beside him, Luo Yu said, "How do you two like the two appetizers?"

Yukino, having tasted Erina's salmon roll, opened her eyes and said, "While molecular gastronomy is unique, Ms. Nakiri Erina's dish is clearly superior, giving me a stronger impact than molecular gastronomy. With this level of skill, she could easily be the head chef in a high-end restaurant."

Nurarihyon also said, "Yeah, this girl's skills are really impressive. I've eaten at about 90% of the high-end restaurants in Tokyo, if not all of them, and she's definitely among the top. It's hard to imagine how good the other Elite Ten's cooking skills are. Hey kid, won't you let us try the other Elite Ten's cooking?"

Senzaemon Nakiri put down his cutlery and said, "The Elite Ten are very busy, so it's not really feasible to have them cook on short notice. I'll call you when there are other events later."

"Haha, that's a deal! Don't worry, I won't just eat your food for free; I'll get you some rare ingredients!"

Smiling happily, Nurarihyon put the last salmon roll into his mouth and savored it with satisfaction.

Five minutes later, Erina and the other three came over again, bringing soup and the main course.

The exquisite and distinctive dishes, each with its own unique flavor, made Luo Yu and his companions temporarily set aside their conversation and focus intently on cooking.

Because Senzaemon Nakiri said he was going to treat the shareholders, Erina Nakiri carefully considered the entire menu. In addition, Alice contributed some of her own dishes. Although the portions of each dish weren't large, the variety and selection were plentiful. The entire meal included French, Japanese, and Chinese cuisine. Even Luo Yu, with his large appetite, breathed a satisfied sigh of relief at the end.

Fortunately, neither he nor Lani were ordinary people, and even Yukino had now transcended the realm of ordinary people. Otherwise, after eating these impactful dishes, Luo Yu felt that he would definitely react like someone who had been drugged, just like in the anime.

After taking a sip of the special digestive drink, Luo Yu looked at Erina, who had changed back into her school uniform and was sitting next to Senzaemon Nakiri, and said, "As expected of the Elite Ten, every dish is exceptionally good."

Erina Nakiri returned the smile with a confident one.

"I hope everyone enjoys the meal."

Then, she looked at Senzaemon Nakiri, wondering why her grandfather had kept her behind alone.

Senzaemon Nakiri then looked at Luo Yu and asked, "Luo Yu-kun, what are your thoughts now?"

Luo Yu nodded, glanced at Senzaemon Nakiri with amusement, and then looked at Erina, saying, "Ms. Erina Nakiri, I want to ask you a question. With your God Tongue, you should be able to taste the flaws in a dish, right? You can even perceive the chef's inner thoughts, right?"

Although she didn't understand why Luo Yu asked that, she still nodded and said, "That's right, it's definitely possible."

"So, how do you usually eat when you're alone? Do you always cook for yourself? If there's something wrong with the food you cook, can you even eat it?"

Upon hearing this, Erina Nakiri frowned slightly and said, "If there is a flaw in my cooking, I will choose to make it again until it is perfect."

"Perfect, what a wonderful word."

Luo Yu tapped his fingers lightly on the table and looked at the blonde girl in front of him, saying, "But is perfection truly possible? Is the perfection you perceive now simply because you haven't experienced the deeper flaws?"

"Are you saying my God Tongue isn't good enough?"

Erina Nakiri was a little angry and stared intently at Luo Yu.

Luo Yu remained calm and composed, saying, "Calm down, calm down. But you know I'm telling the truth, don't you? Your God Tongue is still growing, and in the future you'll definitely be able to taste deeper aspects of cooking—that's inevitable, I don't deny it. However, having something like the God Tongue, which carries the name of a god, in an ordinary person's possession isn't necessarily a good thing. If it continues to grow like this, you might not be able to eat any food in the future, including what you cook yourself. What will you do then?"

With a slam of her hands on the table, Erina Nakiri stood up and looked at Luo Yu with unwavering determination.

"This is absolutely impossible!"

"Really?" Luo Yu wasn't angry and continued, "Then let me ask you, if you were to taste those ordinary dishes now, how would you feel? Would you simply think they were flawed and not very tasty, or would you feel disgusted and like you weren't even eating food? I think it would definitely be the latter, right? If someone like me, who can only cook ordinary dishes, were to make a dish for you, you would definitely have the second reaction I mentioned. This is what I consider to be the flaw of the God's Tongue: you are dominated and controlled by your tongue, unable to control the sensory reactions it brings, and are being led around."

Of course, Erina Nakiri's God Tongue is still in relatively good condition. Compared to her mother, it's child's play; she just finds it unpalatable.

As for Erina Nakiri's mother, her God Tongue was truly terminal; 99% of the world's dishes could no longer satisfy her palate, urging her to constantly search the world for food that could satisfy her taste buds.

Erina Nakiri was speechless for a moment after hearing Luo Yu's words.

He instinctively wanted to object, but then he saw his grandfather, Senzaemon Nakiri, also wearing a melancholy expression.

In my mind, I began to think.

Am I really being controlled by my own tongue?

Chapter 102 The Special Power of the God's Tongue: A Taste of Magic (1/2)

While Erina Nakiri was struggling with her decision, Luo Yu looked towards a corner of the courtyard.

"Alice Nakiri, it's time you came out, isn't it?"

"Alice?"

Upon hearing this name, Erina, whose mood was already not good, widened her eyes.

Turning around, she saw Alice emerge from behind the pillar with an awkward smile on her face.

"Alice!"

"Oh dear, Erina, don't be angry. I just wanted to hear why Grandpa kept you here, but I ended up hearing all this."

Alice, unfazed, sat down next to Erina and observed her mouth, saying, "I never imagined that God Tongue had such a drawback? In that case, Grandpa, were you planning this all along? When I told Father I wanted to come back to Japan, he mentioned your plans before agreeing to let me bring Ryo along. I didn't understand before, but now I finally do. It's not just Erina; Aunt Managi's God Tongue is quite severe now, isn't it?"

Erina also realized what was happening and looked at Senzaemon Nakiri.

Exhaling, Senzaemon Nakiri opened his eyes and said, "That's right, Managi's God Tongue can no longer eat any food; she can only get nutrition through IV drips. Back then, it was because she couldn't accept that Erina's God Tongue was constantly growing that she chose to escape the Nakiri family. And I've been trying to find a way to save them both. By the way, to combat the God Tongue's virtually endless growth and the side effects caused by its later depletion, I didn't let Erina go out to study. I kept her at Totsuki Culinary Academy and sent people from all over the world to find genius chefs of her age and recruit them to Totsuki for training."

"grandfather..."

Looking at her grandfather, Erina Nakiri gradually recalled some things from her childhood, and she gradually understood the problem with her God Tongue.

The problem isn't too big now, but in eight or ten years, I can't guarantee I won't end up like my mother, unable to eat anything.

Looking at Senzaemon Nakiri across from him, Luo Yu took a sip of tea and said, "It's a good idea. For your granddaughter, Grandpa, it certainly offers great hope. However, this only allows Erina to eat food that satisfies her God Tongue for a relatively long period. But can the God Tongue actually be damaged? Erina, could you please come over here for a moment? Lani, could you take a look for her? It's not really appropriate for me, a guy, to be here."

Lani nodded and waved to Erina.

Lani was eager to see the details of the God Tongue, such a wondrous existence.
