Everyday Life Starting with Food Wars

Megumi Tadokoro covered her mouth, her eyes welling up with tears as she looked at the figure on the stage.

Soma Yukihira leaned on the railing, looking down at the radiant Chen Yuxing, his eyes filled with undisguised excitement and fighting spirit. He suddenly turned to look at Zenji Marui beside him and asked, "Marui, do you think he'll agree to have another match with Yuxing if I go find him now?"

"Let Ah Xing rest for a while. It must be exhausting to compete for two days straight," Marui Zenji said to Soma with a hint of helplessness.

Mito Ikumi stood behind them, glancing at Chen Yuxing on the stage and then at Yukihira Soma, who was brimming with fighting spirit. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "I think Soma is already pretty amazing..."

"Meat Demon, what are you whispering about?"

Miyoko Hojo suddenly leaned close to her and asked curiously.

"Nothing! I was just saying that the people in Polaris Dormitory are all monsters!"

Seeing Hojo Miyoko appear beside her without her noticing, Mito Ikumi was startled and her face suddenly turned red as she offered a hasty explanation.

"Really? I had a feeling that's not what you meant just now."

"Oh, don't worry about it!"

On the field of competition.

Ye Shanliang walked up to Chen Yuxing.

"You really won today."

Ye Shanliang stretched out his hands, looking at Chen Yuxing with a mixture of reluctance and relief, and said, "But this is only for this one time."

"Next time we compete, I will bring out an even more perfect dish to defeat you."

"Don't lose to anyone else during this time."

Chen Yuxing was stunned for a moment, then grasped Ye Shanliang's outstretched hand.

"it is good."

"I'll be waiting for you."

Hayama Ryo let go of his hand, turned around, and strode towards the players' passage.

Chen Yuxing, on the other hand, will participate in the final award ceremony.

Finally, Senzaemon Nakiri personally hung a gold medal around his neck and patted him on the shoulder.

"Your cooking has shown me countless possibilities."

"You must not waste your talent."

"Yes."

Chen Yuxing agreed, then turned around and raised the trophy high in the direction of the audience.

The audience members started chanting his nickname from school.

"The uncrowned tyrant of Polaris Dormitory!"

The award ceremony ended quickly, and Chen Yuxing packed up his knife box and kitchen counter and left.

However, he was blocked by a group of people as soon as he stepped outside the contestant passage.

"Ah Xing—!"

Yoshino Yuuki was the first to pounce on him, clinging to him like a koala.

"Yuuki! Come down quickly, Xing must be very tired after the competition!"

When Tadokoro Megumi saw Yoshino Yuuki's appearance, she went up to her and pulled her down. Then she walked up to Chen Yuxing, blushing, and congratulated him on his victory.

"Everyone's encouragement has been very helpful."

Chen Yuxing skillfully ruffled Xiao Hui's hair.

"Ah Xing, you managed to come up with a recipe for saury that incorporates Chinese culinary elements in such a short time!" Daigo Aoki bumped fists with Chen Yuxing. "Could you make another serving at the celebration banquet tonight? I really want some!"

"Exactly! I really want to eat saury in the Hunan style too!" Sato Shoji chimed in from the side.

"Okay, okay, I'll make another batch for everyone to try when I get back tonight!"

"Long live Ah Xing!" Xn

Soma Yukihira also darted out from the crowd and walked up to Chen Yuxing: "Yuxing! I've also thought of a few new dishes! Come and try them out for me tonight!"

"Also, we'll have another match after you've rested!"

"Good good."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

They chatted and laughed as they walked out into the space between the moon and the sky.

They were stopped again when they reached the door.

He was a middle-aged man in a blue suit, who looked to be around forty years old. He had his hair slicked back and wore gold-rimmed glasses, giving him an air of sophistication.

He took a business card out of his pocket and handed it to Chen Yuxing with both hands.

"Chen Yuxing, please allow me to interrupt."

"Let me introduce myself first. I am Norman Mosley, the sous chef at Ledbury restaurant."

"I was invited here today to watch the final of the Totsuki Academy Autumn Selection Tournament, and your performance impressed me very much."

Chen Yuxing took the business card and glanced at it.

Ledbury, a two-Michelin-starred restaurant, is also a regular on the list of the world's top 50 restaurants.

“Our restaurant is always looking for promising young chefs.”

Norman was very direct: "If you are interested in developing your career in the UK after graduation, you can contact us. Our doors in Ledbury are always open for you."

After saying that, he nodded slightly and turned to leave.

“Lederbow Restaurant, that’s a very famous British restaurant that has been around for years. I heard they’re about to get three Michelin stars…” Marui Zenji was trembling as he spoke. “Ah Xing, do you know what level of restaurant that is? You can’t find many places in all of Japan that can compare to it!”

"Okay, I understand." Chen Yuxing put the business card in his pocket and said, "But we'll have to wait until I graduate."

"And as for the UK, I don't have any plans to go there yet."

"Ah Xing, you're something I'm really envious of..."

The group continued walking back, but they were stopped again after only a few steps.

This time it's even more outrageous than Norman's.

Three black minivans were parked directly on the side of the road, with a row of burly men dressed in black standing next to them.

The car door opened, and a man with dyed blond hair and wearing sunglasses stepped out of the car.

"Brother Chen Yuxing!"

The blond-haired man recognized Chen Yuxing and quickly walked over, grabbed Chen Yuxing's hand and shook it twice with an exaggerated expression.

"I am Izumi Ryuji of the Golden Dragon Society!"

"I watched your match from beginning to end, and your style is just right for me! I really want to get to know you."

"Although our Golden Dragon Society may not have a very good reputation, I assure you, I really just want to get to know you."

Chen Yuxing's lips twitched.

The Golden Dragon Society is one of the most powerful yakuza organizations in Japan. It also owns many high-end restaurants and nightclubs, and its businesses are spread throughout almost all of Japan.

"Mr. Izumi must have had more to do than just these things."

"That's great! I like people like you!"

Izumi Ryuichi slapped his thigh and laughed loudly, "I'm planning to open a large Chinese restaurant in Japan, and I need a head chef."

"If you're willing to come, you'll get your annual salary, bonuses, and shares—you can name any additional conditions you want."

"Of course, you don't need to rush to answer me. We need some time to prepare. Just call me when you have an idea."

After saying that, Izumi Ryuji handed Chen Yuxing a business card and then waved to the burly men behind him.

"Let's go, let's not bother them."

A large group of people boarded the car and drove off.

The members of Polaris Dormitory were left standing there, looking at each other in bewilderment.

“The Golden Dragon Society… could it be that Golden Dragon Society…” Sato Shoji’s voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

“It should be that one, the largest organization in the Kanto region…” Marui Zenji pushed up his glasses and said hesitantly, “But there’s very little negative news about them. They’re quite involved in the food and beverage industry, and they even have collaborations with the Chihiro Natsume sisters…”

"But why would they suddenly approach Ah Xing? Isn't Ah Xing still a student?" Yoshino Yuuki also leaned over to look at the business card in Chen Yuxing's hand: "And this business card is so shiny, it's not... pure gold, is it?"

Chen Yuxing looked down at the shiny business card in his hand and remained silent for a moment.

"It's probably... fake."

"Never mind, it's time to go back and have dinner!"

He put the business card in his pocket and went back to the Polaris Dormitory with everyone else.

The Polar Star Dormitory is also very lively tonight.

Grandma Fumio and Chen Yuxing cooked a bunch of dishes for everyone to try, including Ryoko Sakaki's treasured rice koji juice, Mito Ikumi's Wagyu beef, and so on.

Chapter 96 Mission Completed, Field Training Begins

As usual, the celebration banquet at Polaris Dormitory didn't start to quiet down until late at night.

Daigo Aoki, Shoji Sato, and Soma Yukihira simply fell asleep in the living room, draped in a banner.

Yoshino Yuuki was curled up on the sofa, hugging Kamo-nosuke and talking in her sleep, while Mito Ikumi leaned against her.

Megumi Tadokoro, Miyoko Hojo, and Ryoko Sakaki were relatively sober. The three of them helped tidy up the living room and then carried Yuuki and Ikumi back to their room on the second floor.

Chen Yuxing was the last to leave. He cleaned up the remaining mess and put all the remaining ingredients and dishes into the refrigerator before returning to his room.

After pushing open his bedroom door, he collapsed onto his bed and stood there in a daze for a long time.

"Phew... It's finally over... Can I take a break now... Speaking of which, have the rewards been given out?"

With that thought in mind, Chen Yuxing focused his consciousness into his mind.

The Book of Gourmet, gleaming with golden light, floated there.

The mission "The Pinnacle of the Autumn Selection Tournament" has been completed.

[Reward 1: The special ingredient 'Super Powder' has been distributed.]

[Reward 2: The premium item 'Special World Invitation' has been issued.]

[Super Powder: An exotic spice from a special world. Sprinkling it on curry dishes can instantly expand the curry's volume several times its original size, while simultaneously elevating the curry's flavor to its ultimate level.]

[Note: This powder can only be used on curry dishes. Each use consumes one unit; current inventory is three units.]

[Special World Invitation: This item will teleport the host to a random world. Return is only possible after completing the quest from the Book of Gourmet and the event ends. The duration depends on the world type.]

[Note: Please ensure you are fully prepared before using this item. Some functions of the Book of Gourmets will be limited during world exploration.]

[Note: The world you are transported to is completely random, but the Book of Gourmet Food can guarantee the host's general safety.]

[Note: This item can be charged under specific conditions.]

"This super-strength curry powder is so reminiscent of the previous curry recipe, but where exactly are the ingredients from...?"

"And this invitation too, although it says it's random, it should all be worlds related to food..."

"Like 'Cooking Master Boy'? But what if it's dangerous and I get transported to a 'Toriko' or some other fantasy gourmet world...?"

"Forget it, I probably won't need this anytime soon. I'll deal with it when the time comes!"

"I don't think I have any classes tomorrow, so I can sleep in!"

……

After the autumn selection competition ended, Totsuki Academy gave all its students a week-long holiday.

During this time, everyone in Polaris Dormitory had their own plans.

For example, Marui Zenji started catching up on the large number of theory classes he had missed, while Aoki Daigo and Sato Shoji took the opportunity to go back to their hometowns. The rest of the people stayed at the Polar Star Dormitory.

Moreover, the Polar Star Dormitory became even more lively than usual.

It's understandable that Hojo Miyoko and Mito Ikumi frequently visit the Polar Star Dormitory, since they've already gotten to know everyone quite well.
