After getting Luo Yu's contact information, Alice happily said, "Okay, now I should prepare lunch. Luo Yu, would you like some dessert? I can make some while I'm at it!"
"No need, you can prepare your own lunch."
"Okay, then I'll just make something simple."
As she spoke, Alice walked to the opposite side of Erina, gave her a smug look, and then started cooking as well.
Yukino, who hadn't spoken until now, stood beside Luo Yu and whispered, "Another beautiful girl, and she's of Nordic descent too. Her white hair is gorgeous, isn't it?"
Hearing the slight jealousy in Yukino's words, Luo Yu smiled and took her hand.
"Don't worry, in my heart, the catgirl Yukino is still cuter."
"No, don't say this outside!"
Chapter 105 Alice Wants to Learn Magic (2/2)
Half an hour later, Erina finished her meal: beef stewed in red wine.
Looking at the dish in front of her, Erina took a deep breath, cut a piece of beef, and put it in her mouth.
The others also gathered around, wanting to see how good Erina's skills were now.
Although she didn't eat it, Hisako Shinto, Erina's secretary, frowned slightly as she looked at the dish.
I have a feeling that there are some differences compared to Erina-sama's previous dishes.
Alice was even more direct, moving closer to Erina and asking as Erina chewed, "How is it? Is it really bad?"
Opening her eyes, Erina glanced at Alice, who seemed to have ill intentions, and continued eating.
"If you try to discern it carefully, there are indeed areas for improvement, but it doesn't have the same feeling as before, and there's no longer that urgent desire to eat more perfect dishes."
After taking several bites, Erina let out a breath and immediately felt much more relaxed.
At first, she didn't feel it, but at this moment, she realized that the Tongue of God had unknowingly put enormous pressure on her.
After Erina finished speaking, Luo Yu picked up his knife and fork, cut a piece of beef, tasted it, and said with a smile, "I'm not a gourmet, but this kind of dish is extremely delicious to me. Your problem isn't a huge issue, but it's not insignificant either. The human body is a whole, and your current problem is that the development level of your God Tongue is far higher than that of other organs. The uncontrollable result is that your entire being will become completely unbalanced. Your cooking skills won't decline too much; it should be within an acceptable range. You can use this time to start from the basics and hone yourself in all aspects. I'll give you a training plan I've designed to help improve your physical fitness. But the most important thing is your spirit."
"Spirit?"
Luo Yu nodded, pointed to his head, and said, "Your Divine Tongue visualizes the chef's spirit and ideas contained in the dishes you eat, presenting them to your brain, right? This is something you can't control, and it's one of the reasons you're controlled by your own tongue. However, as long as your spirit is strong enough, the Divine Tongue will only be one of your tools, helping you better appreciate the food without affecting other aspects of your life. As for mental training..."
After thinking for a moment, Luo Yu looked at Lani, who was enjoying Mito Ikumi's meat dish.
"Lani, teaching her meditation techniques should be helpful, right?"
After swallowing the meat in her mouth, Lani nodded and said, "Of course it's useful. Although it's just meditation, and the effect will be less if it's not used in conjunction with magic cultivation, it's just right for her situation. However, it would be best to readjust the meditation method according to the condition of her tongue."
After receiving Lani's reply, Luo Yu analyzed the situation in his mind and looked at Erina, saying, "Okay, I'll give you the meditation method along with the physical training method in three days. Today is Wednesday, and I'll come again on Saturday to guide you through the basics."
Erina said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Luo Yu-kun."
Luo Yu smiled and waved his hand: "After all, I am now one of the shareholders of Far Moon, so this little thing is nothing."
After listening to Luo Yu's words, Alice began to plan that she must learn magic.
She even had more ideas.
After lunch, Erina and the other two went to change their clothes, while Alice stayed behind and pulled Luo Yu aside to ask him about something.
"Luo Yu-jun, Grandpa just mentioned that in order to deal with Erina's God Tongue, he recruited many talented chefs of his own age to Totsuki Culinary Academy, including myself. So, do you think I have a chance to recruit those geniuses?"
"kindness?"
Luo Yu glanced at Alice with surprise and said with a smile, "That's a good idea, but as you said, she's a genius, so she won't be recruited by you so easily."
"Hmph, have you forgotten about the Food Wars?" Alice said confidently, hands on her hips. "I don't believe that if I offer the right price, the other party will refuse. I am Alice Nakiri!"
"That's true. With your current strength, you can still beat some of them. After all, it's only been a short time since the start of the semester, and many people haven't improved their skills yet. But it's hard to say what will happen after some time has passed."
Upon hearing this, Alice was displeased and said angrily, "Are you saying I can't compare to those geniuses who haven't even made a name for themselves yet? I'm a molecular gastronomy genius who has been researching at Nakiri International for many years!"
Luo Yu chuckled and said, "Is that so? But in the end, molecular gastronomy is just a branch of cuisine. What traditional cuisine can do, molecular gastronomy cannot do 100% of the time; there are still limitations. Moreover, if you keep studying molecular gastronomy and ignore the basics, you will only fall further and further behind in the end. If you don't believe me, you will see the signs in a while."
"That's not necessarily true for Linglong 1001, and I've never fallen behind in my basic 6710 either!"
With her hands on her hips, Alice remained full of confidence.
"Moreover, if I can learn magic, I can create my own unique culinary style. Then I won't be bound by so-called traditional cuisine or molecular gastronomy! Teach me magic, and I can offer you a generous reward!"
They're still plotting with magic, huh?
Seeing that Alice was still unwilling to give up, Lani finally joined the conversation.
"If you really want to learn magic, I can teach you. But before that, I have to tell you something: right now, everyone in our faction except the Queen is a girl. And here's a very important question: do you have a boyfriend?"
"Boyfriend?" Alice blinked and replied, "No, although I have a follower, Liang's personality would be terrible as a boyfriend. Wait, does learning magic mean I'll become part of Luo Yu-jun's harem? Are all the girls in your camp like that?"
As he spoke, he looked towards Yukino.
Alice saw the interaction between Luo Yu and Yukino just now, and she had been wanting to ask about it for a long time.
In response, Luo Yu said frankly, "No, but Yukino is indeed my girlfriend."
"Huh?! Is that even possible?"
Alice looked at the three people in front of her in surprise, then asked, "Who are the other people who joined? Can you tell me?"
Luo Yu said, "One is the girl I mentioned earlier, who has the ability to see ghosts, named Yotsuya Miko. Her best friend also has a special ability; her own life energy is exceptionally abundant, and when evil spirits approach, she unconsciously activates her energy to destroy them. The last one is Yukino's older sister, Haruno."
Oh? Two sisters?
Alice couldn't help but look at Yukino.
Chapter 106 Senzaemon Nakiri's Thoughts (1/2)
Both sisters joined?
Looking at Yukino, Alice couldn't help but think of her own Erina.
The two of them were sisters, and Alice thought that, unsurprisingly, her grandfather would definitely send Erina to learn magic from Luo Yu.
She believed that if there was a way to control the Tongue of God, given her grandfather's personality, he would not give up on any method.
The method that Luo Yu is providing is clearly the most suitable and promising one.
No, no matter what, now that she's found a way to catch up with Erina's tongue, Alice really doesn't want to give up.
As for other things, Alice felt they weren't important; she could consider them later when they happened!
Before Erina returned, Alice immediately grabbed her phone and went out of the living room to make a call.
At that moment, Senzaemon Nakiri, who was having tea with Nurarihyon in his office, picked up Alice's phone and said, "Alice, what's wrong?"
"Grandpa!" Alice said with utmost seriousness, "I want to learn magic from Luo Yujun!"
"kindness?"
Senzaemon Nakiri narrowed his eyes, glanced at the curious Nurarihyon across from him, and continued, "You want to learn magic, what did Luo Yu-kun say?"
"He tested me and said I have a talent for learning magic, but you'll have to ask Grandpa for the specifics."
Senzaemon Nakiri nodded and said, "Having talent is certainly a good thing, but what Luo Yu-kun said is right, you really should ask me. After all, this isn't about finding a teacher to learn cooking, but about learning magic. Well, and it's not just about me, we also need to talk to your parents. And if you want to learn magic, it means that besides your studies at Totsuki Academy, you'll also need to take a lot of time to go to Chiba to study with Luo Yu-kun. Is that alright?"
"Yes, no problem!" Alice said eagerly. "Luo Yu-jun is going to give Erina a meditation method to enhance her mental strength and further master the God Tongue. I must find a way to catch up with her. As long as I can learn magic, plus my molecular gastronomy skills, I can definitely create a new culinary path!"
A new way of cooking...
This reminded Senzaemon Nakiri of those so-called "late-night chefs," many of whom possessed supernatural abilities.
But in Senzaemon Nakiri's view, the effect was definitely not as good as the fusion with magic.
"It seems you're very determined, Alice. I understand. I'll talk to your parents. I agree to your decision."
"Yay! Thank you, Grandpa, I'll try my best!"
After hanging up the phone, Senzaemon Nakiri looked at Nurarihyon on the other end of the line, who was suppressing a laugh, and said with a twitch of his eye, "What are you laughing at?"
"You really don't know?" Nurarihyon, who was sitting cross-legged, said with a smile, "You let your granddaughter learn magic from that kid Luo Yu. Isn't that just sending her into his arms? I was just telling you that the kid is quite lucky with women. Not only the two who came today, but according to my information, even the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family is preparing to transfer to Chiba!"
"The Shinomiya family, Kaguya Shinomiya?"
Senzaemon Nakiri narrowed his eyes. He had heard Kaguya Shinomiya speak once before, but he didn't think she posed any threat.
"She's just a canary in a cage, she has no ability to pose a threat to Alice or Erina. As for Luo Yujun's situation, I can see it for myself, and I have no objection if things come to that."
Nurarihyon shrugged, popped two peanuts into his mouth, and said, "Since you don't care, I'll just enjoy watching the show."
In contrast to Nurarihyon's detached, amused attitude, Senzaemon Nakiri seriously considered the possibility of this happening.
Both Erina and Alice possess exceptional culinary talent.
As for whether their future spouses are chefs, Senzaemon Nakiri doesn't particularly care, especially now that Erina's God Tongue can be saved, he can relax his requirements in this regard even more.
As for Luo Yu, he is clearly a very suitable candidate.
As for his womanizing ways, that's a minor issue for Senzaemon Nakiri.
After finishing the call, Alice immediately returned to Luo Yu's side and excitedly said, "Luo Yu-kun, Grandpa agreed! I can learn magic from you now!"
Do you agree?
Luo Yu was surprised that Senzaemon Nakiri agreed to Alice's idea so readily.
"Since you've agreed, then there's naturally no problem. We're short on time today, so let's postpone your introductory magic lesson until the weekend, how about that?"
Alice nodded happily: "Yes, then please take care of me, Luo Yu-kun!"
Looking at Alice's expectant face, Luo Yu pondered how to guide her in magic.
As a chef, she is naturally best suited to the two types of magic: fire and ice.
Then, as for the medium for casting spells, a staff is not very suitable; we need to change it and find a method more suitable for a chef.
After much thought, the only options besides casting spells without a staff are to combine a staff and a kitchen knife.
Alternatively, there's the option of fusing magic with the molecular gastronomy machines Alice uses. However, this is beyond Luo Yu's consideration; once Alice has cultivated her magic to a certain level, she can make those modifications herself.
Alice was delighted that she could start learning magic in a couple of days and went over to Lani and Yukino to chat with them.
Looking at Yukino, Alice didn't gossip about her relationship with Luo Yu, but asked about something else.
"Yukino, Yukino, Luo Yu-jun just mentioned that among the other people who study magic, some have the ability to see ghosts and others have strong life energy. What about you? You must have some amazing abilities too!"
Yukino was somewhat conflicted. She glanced at Alice Nakiri, who had white hair, red eyes, and extremely fair skin. Coupled with Alice's exceptionally good figure, Yukino couldn't help but feel a little wary.
But when she thought about Miko, Yurikawa Hana, and even her own sister, Yukino felt somewhat resigned to her fate.
"As for me, I was just an ordinary person at first, but now, I should be considered a half-demon."
"Half-demon?"
Alice tilted her head, looking at Yukino curiously. The next second, she saw Yukino's eyes slowly turn into vertical pupils, and a pair of black cat ears appeared on the top of her head.
“Ahhhhh?!!!”
Alice's exclamation was also heard by Erina and the other two who had just changed their clothes and come downstairs.
Just as she was about to tell Alice to stop yelling, Erina also saw the two cat tails that were swaying randomly behind Yukino.
Chapter 107 The Harsh System of Totsuki Academy (2/2)
Upon seeing Yukino's catgirl appearance, Erina's eyes widened in surprise.
"This, this is?!"
Alice tried to reach out and touch the tail, but Yukino dodged her and then deactivated the transformation.
After her initial disappointment, Alice turned to Erina and said, "Erina, Erina, Yukino is actually a half-demon, and a cat demon at that! That's amazing!"
Erina and the other two immediately walked over and looked at Yukino, who had returned to her human form.
Hisako Shinoto rubbed her eyes and said, "Could it be that Yukinoshita really is a yokai?"
Yukino explained earnestly, "I'm not a yokai, I'm a half-yokai, and I was originally human. I gained the power of the cat demon by accident."
Then Yukino briefly explained her situation.
After listening, the girls suddenly understood.
Alice clapped her hands and said, "Oh, I see! It really was an unexpected situation! If there are half-demons, does that mean there are also monsters?"
Luo Yu smiled and said, "Of course I do. I'm having tea with Grandpa Nakiri right now."
That small old man, Nurarihyon, is actually a yokai?
Luo Yu nodded: "That's right, it's still Nurarihyon. And maybe when you were learning to cook as a child, Erina, he secretly watched you. You may not know now, but Nakiri-sama warned the Elite Ten before that the dishes in the kitchen might randomly disappear."
