Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 128 Nagi Nakiri, homesick!

Get out of the izakaya.

The world outside is calmer than just now!

As we all know, because Totsuki Academy adopts a cruel "competition" education system, students are all rivals with each other, and there is almost no friendship at all.

But at this banquet, Chuangzhen saw the valuable friendship and warm human kindness from this group of residents in Jiexing dormitory.

Perhaps in the days to come, he will cherish these beautiful memories and experiences in the Jixing dormitory even more.

It is said that one girl is equal to 500 "kunkun", and these three girls are equal to 1500 "kunkun". Not to mention the excitement of chatting!

"Hehehe! Xiaohui, what did the shop owner give you before leaving?"

Looking at the small gift in Tadokoro's hand, Yoshino Yuki asked excitedly, while Ryoko Sakaki secretly glanced at it from time to time, full of curiosity.

"No, no, just...just a little bit of sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

Tian Suohui said with a blush.

"Ouch!"

"You give him biscuits, and he gives you sweet-scented osmanthus cake!"

When Yoshino Yuki heard this, she hurriedly patted her shoulder, her eyes suddenly filled with "malice".

"I'm really envious. I also want the shopkeeper to give me a bottle of wine, but how dare I have the nerve to ask him for such a request?"

Hearing this, Sakaki Ryoko felt envious and helpless.

"That's right, when we came out of the izakaya, shopkeeper Zhang didn't even look at us."

"But he suddenly called Xiaohui and asked her all kinds of questions."

"Forget it, I even gave her a box of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes before leaving. This really makes me crazy with envy!"

"However, then again."

"Our Xiao Hui from Ji Xing Lao is indeed a very talented woman when she is with Shopkeeper Zhang!"

Yoshino's words made Tazoe blush and her heart beat: "Yoshino, you... what are you talking about? Can you say this casually?"

After saying that, she walked quickly behind Yise Hui.

And her reaction naturally made Yoshino Yuki and Sakaki Ryoko look at each other. Could it be that:

Is there really something going on between these two people?

……

night.

The wind blows gently.

Rows of street lights on the street are like a silver necklace hanging on the neck of the city.

The faces of the boarding students under the street lights were illuminated more vividly.

At this time, Isshiki Hui came out of the izakaya, always looking worried.

Especially whenever he recalled the powerful pressure that Nakiri Shinagi had when he first appeared on the scene, his face became even more serious!
"Imusaki Jun, what do you think of that diner?"

"Senior, I'm not afraid of your jokes."

"At that time, my legs were trembling. I felt an aura from her that was far more terrifying than the commander-in-chief."

Imusaki Jun said with lingering fear.

"I heard that the executive officer of the WGO Food Organization has begun secretly investigating restaurants around the world. If I am guessing correctly, she should be the executive officer, right?"

Yi Sehui's eyes flickered and he said calmly.

"How could an executive of their level appear in an izakaya?" Jun Imusaki felt unbelievable.

"Next door is Yuan Guo-senpai's Spring Guotei Western-style restaurant, so I think the WGO executive will stop by to inspect the izakaya."

"It's just... I didn't expect that Shopkeeper Zhang's cuisine would be so amazing! That spicy and fresh sea bream cuisine is unique in the entire culinary world."

Yise Hui thought for a while and replied.

"Indeed, he is more terrifying than we imagined every time!" Jun Imusaki sighed.

At this time, Yukihira Soma, who was behind, was eavesdropping on the conversation between Isshiki Kei and Imusaki Jun, while thinking about future life choices.

Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind, and hurriedly shouted to Isekhui in front: "Senior, can you try some of the dishes I made after you go back? I hope you can give me some suggestions!"

"Ok?"

The words behind his back made Ise Hui pause for a moment.

Immediately, he turned his head and looked at Yukihira Souma. Seeing that his eyes were full of determination, he smiled and said: "Very good, it seems you know what to do?"

"You actually have such an awareness, so let's give it a try and see if your cooking can impress me again?"

"it is good."

"Thank you, senior!"

……

Tea scent.

Under the moonlight, a soft sound was brought out!
And a kind of laziness also penetrates the soul with the fragrance of wine, gently, slowly, gently.

Just take a small sip, and the soft and gentle tranquility of the tea leaves in the smooth wine will ripple into your heart.

This made Kobayashi Ringtong, who had never left an izakaya, gradually feel the slow abundance of life.

Afterwards, she slowly opened her eyes.

He secretly glanced at Zhang Fan, who was wiping the kitchen knife in front of the cooking table.

That handsome and gentle face, that calm and composed temperament made her a little obsessed just looking at it.

But at this moment, she accidentally saw Nagiri Nagi who had just finished five plates of sea bream sashimi. She was also watching Zhang Fan silently, and her expression turned blank!
"I've been in Neon Country for a few days."

"Don't you want to go back to Yuanyue and meet your father and daughter?"

Putting the kitchen knife back, the bored Zhang Fan looked at Nakiri Shinagi. When he saw that she was staring at him closely, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"I don't know, I don't even know how to face it?"

"Father's side is fine, his daughter Erina..."

Speaking of this, Nakiri Shinagi's eyes were filled with an endless sense of loss and loneliness.

……

A full 10 years.

She never returned to Nakiri's house or her own family.

This kind of life alone outside has completely got rid of the shackles of the family and has become more free!

But on the other hand, it also left her with a serious psychological shadow.

This kind of psychological shadow is not due to the curse of God's Tongue, but the pain of being alone in a strange environment for a long time, with no one to express all kinds of grievances.

As the years go by, this emotion and mentality may not diminish.

If.

You can find dishes that conquer God's Tongue.

Maybe her mental stress will gradually improve, and her sense of guilt for her family will become less severe.

However, after all these years of hard work, she has never really found a dish that can satisfy God's tongue, so she can't let go of many things!

"You must have anticipated this day when you made this choice, right?"

Seeing Nakiri Shinagi like this, Zhang Fan just asked calmly.

"Ah."

"It's all life!"

Nakiri Managi's voice was a little erratic.His thoughts went back to the past, when he was getting along with his daughter Erina.

The curse of the God's Tongue caused her to suffer all kinds of pain. In order to prevent Erina from following in her footsteps, and to free herself from the sea of ​​suffering, she finally made that choice resolutely!

But in the end, it also put a heavy burden on itself.

"Sanagi, I think you need to learn to let go of the burden of your past, otherwise you will fall into an even bigger abyss."

"As for how to let go, I can't give you any better advice."

"But what I want to say is that you are most afraid of being in the dark, but you still want to move forward blindly. The results of this are often more terrifying than standing still!"

Hearing this, Nagi Nakiri couldn't help but raise his head and met Zhang Fan's calm eyes.

"You're so young, you act like a serious senior, I don't need you to lecture you!"

Nakiri Shinagi pretended to be cold.

Originally, she just wanted to taste Zhang Fan's cooking again today.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Fan actually wanted to remind her of some past events, and he even hoped that she would take the initiative to go to Yuanyue and get to know her father and daughter.

……

"Do you believe in fate?"

After thinking for a while, Shinagi suddenly asked after calming down.

"Let me tell you this, ever since I ran this izakaya, I have never believed in any fate."

"It may exist, but destiny is too elusive and mysterious after all. Maybe one day I will have an accident and travel to another world?"

"Therefore, I still believe that I am more realistic."

Zhang Fan shrugged and smiled.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not."

"I just want to know, is it possible to fight against fate with the strength of one person?"

Nakiri Shinagi seemed to be talking to himself or to Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan felt a little enlightened, then he thought about it and said seriously: "Yes, but also no!"

"For example, in this world, no chef or dish you know can conquer the tongue of God. However, only my cooking can break this curse!"

After hearing these words, Nakiri Shinagi finally couldn't hold himself any longer.

She just looked at Zhang Fan blankly, with a touch of sadness in her brows.

This kind of look, except for one time when he made up his mind to leave Nakiri's house, he has never seen it again since then.

"Miss them?"

Seeing this, Zhang Fan couldn't help asking softly.

"Ok!"

"Want it so so much."

"But... can I still go back?" Nakiri Shinagi whispered in confusion.

"Of course I can go back."

Zhang Fan's eyes suddenly became deep and he nodded and replied.

……

at the same time.

At Totsuki Academy, there was another Shokuki duel match.

The strong white light illuminates the entire competition venue as bright as day, making every detail clearly visible.

Suddenly, a beam of white light shone on a participating student named "Haotian Lin Qingzhi", making him instantly become the most eye-catching figure in the entire competition!

He is the leader of the Sumo Hotpot Cuisine Research Association and a second-year student in the upper division.

Its own strength is considered to be the best among the entire Yuanyue, and it is stronger than some third graders!
However, at this moment, his face was pale, and his huge and fat body lay half on the ground like a puddle of mud. As for the large screen hanging in mid-air, it had already shown the result of this halberd-eating competition:
5:0
"very scary!"

"Is this the strength of the Ten Heroes?"

"I remember senior Haotian Lin Qingzhi, whose strength far surpassed that of Hakuin Huihe in the morning."

"Yes, his strength is obvious to everyone in our entire school, but we didn't expect that he was completely defeated!"

"Who would have thought."

"Miss Erina, who possesses the Tongue of God, is so terrifying in her own strength!"

"It's over. It's only the first day of school, and as a result, two research associations have been shut down."

"If this continues, I'm afraid the struggle between the various forces will become more intense. I... how can I, a little minion like me, protect myself?"

"Bless yourself. Anyway, with these two extraordinary eldest ladies of the Nakiri family, we are afraid that we will suffer a lot in the days to come."

……

At this time, the whole audience was sighing.

Tonight's Shokugeki duel match has attracted a lot of attention because there are ten heroes like Erina Nakiri.

As a result, as everyone expected, Erina's strength is indeed worthy of the title of the Ten Heroes, and she is indeed stronger than Alice!
"impossible."

“My Ishikari pot hotpot dish uses more than 30 high-end ingredients.”

"How could I lose to your cooking?"

"I'm not convinced, I'm not convinced!"

Haotian Lin Qingzhi found it difficult to accept such a disastrous defeat.

Opposite her, Nakiri Erina learned that he was still not convinced, so she walked to his food with light steps.

After hesitating for a moment, he took a mouthful of thick soup with a small spoon and sipped it gently.

Then, she opened her eyes, her face was very calm, and she said calmly to Haoda Lin Qingzhi: "Senior! Your thick soup hot pot dish has 18 big mistakes, 34 small mistakes, and 57 flaws that are not mistakes! "

"For example, you were too anxious about the cooking time of the tonkotsu, so that the flavor of the bones could not be fully integrated into the soup, making it seem a bit bland."

"Also, the amount of soy sauce is wrong, too little."

"There's not much salt either."

"You keep saying that this dish contains more than 30 high-end ingredients, but I found that two Hokkaido specialty ingredients are missing."

"As for the control of heat, the handling of various ingredients, the preparation of soups, etc., there are more or less problems..."

……

Speaking of the end.

Gouda Hayashi Kiyoshi looked at Erina in shock.

Only now could he fully understand how terrifying the girl with the God's Tongue in front of him was.

Surprisingly, just by tasting it, you can analyze all the mistakes in the entire dish one by one!

"Senior, the outcome of this competition has been decided."

"Totsuki Academy, there is no longer a Sumo Hot Pot Cuisine Research Association, only the 7th cooking building with the tenth seat of the Ten Elites!"

Having said that, Nakiri Erina passed directly by Gouda Hayashi Kiyoshi, came to Feishago, and said: "Contact the demolition team on site and tell them that the entire building can be demolished!"

"Okay, Miss Erina."

Fei Shasha nodded and immediately made a phone call.

"What? You...you want to demolish the entire building of the Sumo Hot Pot Cuisine Research Association?"

Haotian Lin Qingzhi was completely panicked.
