Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 129 Your fate with Nakiri Thistle ends here.

If it's just for drinking, you can drink wine anywhere.

As for delicious food, there are many high-end restaurants and hotels.

From a functional point of view, izakaya is not for the pursuit of excitement, it has its own aesthetics: enjoying the solitude among the crowd!

Some regular customers go to the same izakaya two or three times a week.

It seems that Zhang Fan's izakaya is a place to treat social anxiety. Once you muster up the courage to open the door, an unknown adventure is about to begin.

Sometimes, you can speak freely and express all the thoughts in your heart with peace of mind.

……

Late at night, the hour hand almost reached the number "12".

Nakiri Shinagi stood up and left the izakaya. She stood outside the door and paused for a long time, and finally sighed softly.

Today's discussion with Zhang Fan made her make some determination. Although she felt sad, she felt relieved. Maybe it was time to go back to Yuanyue!
"Master Nagi."

"Let's go back to the WGO branch right now, or go..."

Beside her, Annie saw through Nakiri Shinagi's thoughts and asked softly.

"Ok!"

"Let's go to Totsuki."

Nakiri Shinagi said calmly.

"Okay, Master Shingi, please get in the car..." Finally, Annie took the initiative to open the door.

Nakiri Shinagi couldn't help but look back at the izakaya, her eyes seemed to have some inexplicable meaning, then she got into the car without looking back and went straight to Totsuki Academy!

……

"No, really don't!"

"The headquarters building of the Dessert Cuisine Research Association was only transformed into a laboratory by Miss Alice and... was not demolished."

At the shokuji venue, Haotian Lin Qingzhi held his head and cried.

"Weak people have no bargaining power."

"Instead of spending all the money and resources on you useless wastes, it's better to just tear it down and start over from scratch."

"I believe that under my wise leadership, Totsuki Academy will only get better and better."

Erina didn't even bother to look at Gouda Hayashi Kiyoshi after she finished speaking.

Competition is the foundation of Totsuki Academy's survival. Without this thing, Totsuki Academy will not exist.

Just like an animal that can survive in a forest, it must be fast and strong.

Whether they are carnivores at the top of the food chain or herbivores at the bottom of the food chain, they must have strength to gain the right to survive in this jungle.

Animals without strength will naturally be culled and eliminated!

"Fei Shasha, which one is the next target?"

Later, Erina didn't appear very happy after winning the game.

With a calm face, she asked Fei Shasha calmly.

"Miss Erina, the next one to destroy is the Donburi Research Association."

"The commander is Kanichi Konishi, a second-year student in the Department of Advanced Studies. I heard that he has a weak character, is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and his cooking skills are not very good!"

"Therefore... I hope to appear in person and help you get rid of him."

Shinto Hisako volunteered.

"No need to trouble you, since he is a minor character, just let Mito Yumei handle it." Erina thought for a few seconds, but shook her head and replied.

"Hey? Mito Yumei?"

Fei Shasha was stunned when he heard this, thinking that he had heard wrongly.

"Yes, let her go deal with the Donburi Research Association. I also want to see if her cooking skills have improved?"

Erina replied softly.

"Okay, Miss Erina, I will inform her."

After receiving the order, Feishao finally had no choice but to comply.

Afterwards, Erina adjusted her clothes a little, put on a cold expression, and left the Shokugeki competition venue.

……

Midnight, the commander-in-chief's office.

The lights are still bright here, and the old commander-in-chief has not fallen asleep and is still dealing with various affairs.

"Commander, the school year has just started, and there are two Shouki duel matches in Totsuki, and both of them involve your granddaughter."

Si Yingshi, who represents Yuanyue's highest combat power ceiling, has no courage at all in front of the commander-in-chief, he said distressedly.

"I understand the whole story."

"Si Yingshi, you have really worked hard these days. I will try to persuade them both."

Looking at Si Yingshi with a tired face, the commander-in-chief could only sigh softly and comfort him.

"Commander, I'll do it for you."

When Si Yingshi heard this, his eyes were filled with joy, and then he added: "I have discussed the planning of the residential training activities with Senior Gin Dojima and others."

"I'm thinking of inviting a few Yuanyue graduates to serve as assessors just like last year!"

After saying that, he handed a list he had just drafted to the commander-in-chief: "This is the list of several graduates. Please take a look."

"Si Yingshi, you don't need to show me such list documents in the future."

"You top ten have the right to manage various affairs in the academy."

"As for who will be the examiner for the residential training activities, you all have the right to make a decision. I have no right and I don't want to ask!"

Unexpectedly, the commander-in-chief refused and left all the accommodation and training activities back to Si Yingshi.

"Well, I understand!" Seeing this, Si Yingshi took the list back without any nonsense: "Then, if there is nothing else, I will leave now!"

After saying that, he disappeared into the commander-in-chief's office.

The commander-in-chief stood up, paced around the office, and sighed: "After all, I am still old, and I am gradually feeling out of my depth in many things!"

……

The night is getting darker and darker!
In the quiet environment, only a black car appeared quietly at Totsuki Academy.

When the car drove to a tall building, it stopped. Immediately afterwards, Nakiri Shinagi and Annie got out of the car.

Nakiri Managi, who had just gotten out of the car, began to carefully look at the surrounding cherry blossom trees that had grown into big trees.

They were all covered with small pink flowers, as if welcoming her back.

Looking closely, some traces on those trees have become blurred under the baptism of time, but they are traces of her childhood and evidence that she once lived and studied here.

"came back."

"I...I'm back after all!"

Touching a cherry blossom tree, Nakiri Managi had a complicated expression and murmured to himself.

She took a deep breath and continued to move towards the commander-in-chief's office with nostalgia for the past and some expectations for the future.

She knew that no matter what happened later, this Totsuki Academy, full of memories, would always remain in her heart and become the most precious treasure in her life.

...boom!
Boom!
Boom!
A crisp knock on the door broke the commander-in-chief's thoughts.

He frowned slightly and said, "Si Yingshi, did you forget some documents? The door is unlocked, you can just come in..."

"Father! It's...it's me. I haven't seen you for many years. How is your health?"

The voice behind him was both familiar and unfamiliar. This made the commander-in-chief, who had been working hard all day, suddenly become excited and couldn't help but look back.

When he saw that the person in front of him was the daughter he had been looking for so hard, he couldn't help but wake up from a dream: "Ma... Nagi... are you back?"

"Okay, don't leave again when you come back. You don't know how Erina and I got here in the past ten years!"

As he spoke, the commander-in-chief's eyes turned red.

Nakiri Shinagi was stunned, and finally he could only lower his head and whisper softly: "I'm sorry."

"No, you don't have to say this."

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect you to come back suddenly, but the fact is... maybe you have found a dish that can conquer God's Tongue?"

The commander-in-chief wiped his eyes a little.

Knowing that the atmosphere should not be so pitiful at this time, he quickly changed the subject and asked.

"I found it. I just recently found a chef who can completely conquer God's Tongue, and you have also seen this chef before."

Nakiri Shinagi replied.

"It's really him!" The commander-in-chief understood immediately after hearing this.

After that, all the past events were played out in his mind again. He could only sigh deeply and said: "Sanagi, I drove away Nakiri Thistle. He is no longer my son-in-law, and he will no longer be my son-in-law." He’s from the Nakiri family!”

I know that no matter how much some things are concealed, the truth will eventually be revealed one day.

In addition, this matter was extremely important to the entire Nakiri family, so the commander-in-chief had no choice but to tell everything that happened after she ran away from home.

"So, you're saying that this is how he treated Erina after I left?"

When he heard that Nakiri Thistle actually adopted "cage-style education" and wanted to train Erina, and even wanted to bring out her full power of God's Tongue, Nakiri Shina was so angry that he gritted his teeth!

It wasn't until this moment that she truly understood how much pain Erina had endured over the years.

"never mind!"

"Those things are over."

"And he also received corresponding punishment, Shinagi, you have suffered so much these years!"

Looking at her pale face and slender body, she looked exactly like the waning Nakiri Shinagi.

In the commander-in-chief's heart, he was even more heartbroken that she had suffered unbearable pain in these years because of the curse of God's Tongue.

"Father, you are also much older." Nakiri Shinagi sighed similarly.

"Managi, to be honest, your fate with Nakamura Thistle has ended here!"

"If you want to continue to pursue happiness in life, I will support you. As for Erina... I think she will understand your approach!" The commander-in-chief said calmly.

His words actually announced in disguise that the relationship between Nakamura Thisi and Nakiri Managi was completely broken.

At least in his mind, he no longer thinks Nakamura Thistle is his son-in-law!

"Father, please put my matters aside for now."

"I came to see you this time, in addition to catching up with you."

"Actually, there is one thing that you must have realized. The entire culinary world will undergo earth-shaking changes in the future, and a new era will soon usher in!"

“And I don’t think Totsuki Academy and the WGO Food Organization are really leading the new era.”

"You think so too?"

Commander-in-Chief, I was stunned!
"Yes, so in facing the new era of the future, shouldn't we do something in advance?"

Nakiri Shinagi's eyes flickered and asked softly.

……

"What did you say?"

"She is the commander-in-chief's daughter, Erina's mother, and the only special executive of the WGO Food Organization today, Nakiri Managi!"

At this moment, here at the izakaya.

Kobayashi Rgentan, after learning the identity of Nakiri Managi.

I was so frightened that I quickly drank the remaining half bottle of sake in the glass in my hand to calm myself down!

"What? You don't know?"

Zhang Fan looked at Xiaolin Rgentan suspiciously.

"I...how could I know?"

"The whereabouts of the executive officers of the WGO Food Organization are always mysterious, let alone her, a special executive officer!"

Kobayashi Rgentian still can't calm down.

She had never calculated that the diner sitting next to her would turn out to be such a terrifying big shot, and the thought of something that made her even more chilly was:
He, Zhang Fan, can conquer that special executive officer with his cooking!

"Shopkeeper, it seems I made the right bet."

"Being a kitchen assistant next to you after graduation will probably be the envy of all chefs in the future."

"After all, just because you can make dishes that conquer the special executive, your cooking skills and talents are enough to shock the entire culinary world."

"Shopkeeper, you said this if she recruited you to the WGO Food Organization."

"If you are asked to serve as the executive officer, wouldn't you have the power to decide the life and death of all chefs?"

Finally, Kobayashi Rgentan said with a smile on his face.

"You're really right."

"She did invite me to be the second special executive officer of WGO, giving me the same rights as her!"

"what?"

Kobayashi Gentian was confused: "The second special executive officer?"

As we all know, the executive officers of the WGO Food Organization have four levels: first class, second class, third class and special class. The highest level is special class and the lowest level is third class.

So far, only Nakiri Shinagi has reached the level of special executive officer.

As a result, now, Zhang Fan, the owner of an izakaya, can actually reach the level of Nakiri Managi in one fell swoop!

This kind of thing makes Kobayashi Rgentan envious to death.

You know, although she is currently the second among the top ten, after graduation, if she can make a name for herself in major five-star hotels in Neon Country, it will be considered very good!

Perhaps, it really corresponds to the saying: Comparing people with others will make people angry to death!
"Then will you stop operating this izakaya?"

"If you go to WGO, will the agreement I made with you after graduation still count?" Ringtong Kobayashi asked expectantly.

"What do you think?"

"Izakaya, how could I give up?"

Zhang Fan gave Xiaolin Rgentan an angry look.

"You...could you refuse to serve as the special executive officer of WGO?"

Hearing Zhang Fan's tone, Xiaolin Ringtong seemed to understand and looked at him in astonishment.
