Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

The ingredients are very simple.

The fragrance is also very simple, and it immediately enters the mouth and flows through the body.

Unable to resist swallowing it, Nakiri Erina suddenly felt that the happiest moment in life was nothing more than this.

On the other side, Mujiuzhienguo was staring blankly at the steaming bowl of rice-free fried rice, with a hesitant expression and difficulty speaking.

"Are you not hungry, or...are you worried about something?"

Seeing that she hesitated to move her chopsticks, Zhang Fan asked with concern.

Mu Jiuzhi flashed a bitter smile on his face and sighed: "Shopkeeper, can I bring her over for dinner?"

"can!"

"Let her come."

Zhang Fan, of course, knew who that "she" was.

At present, the izakaya has expanded its business scale and is short of some manpower. If you can recruit Taki Kadozaki, who is at a low point in his career, for your own use.

So, for the izakaya and Zhang Fan, it is a good thing!

After getting Zhang Fan's permission, Mu Jiuzhiyuanguo got up in a panic and ran back to the Chunguoting Western-style restaurant next door.

……

"I told you everything."

"I would rather jump from here than go to any izakaya..."

Soon, a roar came from outside the door of the izakaya, and then the glass door opened automatically, and a figure appeared.

Her long dark purple hair was tied into a ponytail shape. Although her tone of voice was a bit aggressive, anyone with a discerning eye could detect her subtle and gentle personality.

"Okay."

"Taki, let's have a bowl of rice-free fried rice first."

Mu Jiuzhi, however, always kept a smile and pulled her to Zhang Fan's side.

Since the Totsuki period, Kadozaki Taki has had a very good relationship with her. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they are the best best friends. Now it is natural to feel heartbroken to see her like this.

At this time, the smart Erina understood something and hurriedly brought her a bowl of riceless fried rice.

At first, Kadozaki Taki was still making some struggling movements, but in the end his whole body became very honest, and he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and couldn't help but take a few bites of the cauliflower fried rice.

Ever since the Taki Amarillo restaurant was forced to close, she had given up on herself and was no different from a "waste".

At the same time, in the past few days, because she stayed at Chunguoting Restaurant, she had more opportunities to contact Zhang Fan.

As she got to know her better, she also discovered that Zhang Fan was indeed very charming and had a really good personality...

"Ok?"

"What's wrong with me?"

While eating, Kadozaki Taki actually burst into tears.

"Taki, please become an employee here like Kikuchichi Enoka."

"This izakaya has many interesting stories and interesting people. I believe this will be your best refuge."

Finally, looking at Kadozaki Taki who was crying, Zhang Fan could only smile and say to her.

"Thank you... thank you!"

Kadozaki Taki, with watery eyes, replied so movedly.

On the side, Mujiuzhi Yuanguo was stunned. When he learned that she had finally agreed to work for Zhang Fan and become the second official employee of this izakaya, a smile appeared on her lips!

In this way, during a warm late-night snack, the izakaya finally welcomed its second official employee:

The second seat of the 88th Yuanyue Ten Elites.

Kadozaki Taki!

……

On a bright morning.

A ray of sunlight shone lightly on Erina's face, like an elf isolated from the world, so beautiful that it was unbelievable.

After waking up from her sleep, rubbing her eyes with her hands and stretching, Erina felt that she had not slept so comfortably for a long time!

"what?"

"This is……"

Immediately, when she picked up the mobile phone next to her.

After clicking on a text message, I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

Immediately afterwards, she washed up in a panic, then walked to the kitchen on the first floor, where she saw Zhang Fan expressionlessly cutting ingredients and busy making breakfast.

The "ta-da-da" sound meant that his knife skills had now reached a very high level. For a moment, she was so mesmerized by the sight that she couldn't stop.

How wonderful it would be if we could live like this in the future, living in an izakaya forever with Zhang Fan!

Afterwards, Erina, who was in a daze, quickly straightened out her clothes.

After brushing the hair on his forehead, he gently came to Zhang Fan's side.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan could only put down the kitchen knife in his hand, then turned to look at Erina, who looked a little sad, and couldn't help but help brush some dust off her hair.

"If you don't sleep well, why do you get up so early and come to the kitchen on the first floor?"

Erina was silent, her body trembling slightly.

She instinctively leaned towards Zhang Fan, feeling that his body was warm and had a scent that made her feel at ease.

Seeing that she was so close to him, he could even hear each other's breathing, Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood something, and hugged her cold body directly into his arms: " Are you going back?"

"Well, I have been informed that I have to attend the Ten Elite Council today at noon, so I have to return to Toyue."

Erina suddenly felt sad.

After these days of getting along, she really didn't want to leave Zhang Fan.

But as a top ten hero, she shoulders a lot of important responsibilities for Yueyue. Of course, she can follow the example of Kobayashi Ryuden and just give up, but this is obviously not her style.

Thinking about saying goodbye to Zhang Fan today and leaving this izakaya, she felt reluctant and had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

She mustered up the courage to open her hands and hug Zhang Fan's waist tightly.

That pretty little face rubbed in his arms, constantly absorbing the warmth from his body with the tip of her nose.

"Zhang Fan, I don't want to leave you."

Erina choked with sobs, her face looking heartbroken.

"Fool!"

"It's not the difference between life and death."

Zhang Fan reached out to wipe the tears on Erina's face: "There will be many opportunities to meet again in the future, there is no need for this."

"I think it has something to do with the autumn selection when I go back to participate in the council meeting."

"This competition is very important to the entire Totsuki Academy. As a top ten, I will definitely be responsible for a lot of things, so I'm afraid that like the accommodation training, I won't be able to come to the izakaya for a long time."

"Zhang Fan, I really... really..."

Erina, holding back her tears, looked at Zhang Fan pitifully.

In this situation, if Fei Shasha were to see her, she would be so shocked that her jaw would be dislocated.

Who would have thought that just after staying in an izakaya for a while, this cold, arrogant eldest daughter of the Nakiri family would fall in love with Zhang Fan so quickly.

"Erina."

"No matter when or where I am, I will never forget you."

Things had already developed like this, Zhang Fan could only hug her tighter, lower his head and whisper softly in her ear.

Erina's delicate body trembled.

If you look closely, you can see that the corners of her mouth are slightly raised. She doesn't have much experience in love yet, so naturally she can't resist such "love words".

In the end, in an atmosphere of reluctance, she decided to leave the izakaya, temporarily ending her temporary working career here.

……

Towards noon, the weather started to get muggy.

During this time, the first-year students were still on vacation, but in a slightly dim conference room somewhere in Totsuki Academy, a Council of Ten Elites was quietly held here.

"It's so tiring!"

"Why are we, the top ten, responsible for everything in the academy, big and small?"

"The autumn selection competition is nothing more than an event for first-year students. Just let the Shokugeki Management Bureau and some departments handle it. What does it have to do with me, a third-year student?"

At this time, Ringtong Kobayashi, who was eating snacks and pushing the door into the conference room, complained.

"That's it."

"What kind of selection competition? It's a bunch of rubbish just having fun with themselves after all the fighting."

"No matter how strong and powerful they are, can they compare with our top ten?"

Immediately following Kobayashi Ryoden was Kuga Teruki, who was accustomed to holding the back of his head with both hands, looking lazy.

Like her, he seemed very dissatisfied with the convening of the Ten Elite Council!

……

Afterwards, more and more top ten came to the conference room and gathered together.

They sat up one by one according to the order of their seats, until Si Yingshi, the first seat, came to sit in the middle position, and all ten heroes were present.

"I'm so sorry."

"Last night, the commander-in-chief suddenly informed us that the autumn selection can be officially started."

"So out of frustration, I can only give you a short notice to attend the council meeting. Things may have happened suddenly and affected your rest time, so I would like to express my apology to you in advance."

After looking around for a while, Si Yingshi said submissively.

"Si Yingshi, can't you just handle the planning and procedures for the autumn selection by yourself?"

On the side, after hearing Si Yingshi's words, Kobayashi Rgentian, who was eating snacks, was the first to become unable to sit still and hurriedly asked him.

Obviously, as the second seat, she really doesn't want to be responsible for the affairs of the academy now.

"I want it too!"

"But there are still many things in the academy waiting for me to deal with."

"Did you know that during the period when you gave up your job, I received 14 more conflicts in the Shokuge duel match?"

"Ahem, okay, okay."

"I know you're working hard, but we don't have time to listen to your complaints here. You'd better get to the point!"

Looking at Si Yingshi who kept sighing and seemed to be complaining and grumbling, Kobayashi Rgentian here was obviously panicked and quickly replied.

……

"Okay, let's talk about the business first."

After Kobayashi Ritsuan's reminder, Si Yingshi straightened his sitting posture, then pointed at the pile of documents on the conference table, and continued: "This pile of documents is what survived the cruel residential training activities." About 400 freshmen, their performance since the beginning of school."

"In addition to their scores for each class, there are also comments from various lecturers and professors, as well as the results of various cooking assessments during the residential training activities."

"I hope you can all be among the approximately 400 pieces of information."

"Carefully select 60 outstanding students and let them participate in this autumn selection."

"It's important."

"Once again, I implore everyone to take it seriously!"

After saying this, Si Yingshi pushed all the information to the other ten heroes present.

Although people like Kobayashi Goutou, Kuga Teruki, Eizan Edazuya, Nakiri Erina, etc. are reluctant to read these materials.

However, since the Ten Elite Council has already been convened, it would not be good to just choose someone to reject. Therefore, they all reluctantly took over the task and began to review it seriously.

……

Time is fleeting.

Soon after the selection of the top ten, the list of 60 contestants was shortlisted one by one!

"To advance to the upper division by finishing last in the elementary division, such a low-ranking student must have poor qualifications and should be kicked out."

Eizan Ezuya accidentally saw the information of a student named Tazoe from the list of contestants, and couldn't help but frowned.

However, when he was about to kick her out, he was stopped by Isekhui.

"It's undeniable."

"Tasukei's results were really bad in the early stage."

"But since the beginning of school, especially during residential training activities, her talents have often amazed teachers and examiners."

"So, she is a dark horse with potential and should get a place in the autumn selection."

After Isekhui stopped him, he noticed that the atmosphere in the entire conference room was becoming more and more depressing, and everyone was staring at him blankly.

So, he could only shrug and explain.

……

"Senior Isekhui."

"I remember correctly, Tadokoro is your roommate, right?"

"Furthermore, the list of contestants recommended by you seems to be all boarding students in the Jixing dormitory?"

"Your behavior and approach have to make us wonder, are you using your power as the top ten to obtain the qualifications for this group of dormmates to participate in the autumn selection?"

At this time, Erina Nakiri, who was at the bottom of the Ten Elites, scolded her without any politeness.

"Erina, do you think there's something wrong with this list?"

"Of course there is!"

Hearing this, Yisekhui just smiled and said: "Because they are all my roommates, I understand them better than anyone else."

"This group of dormitory students is a group of outstanding students. Based on their outstanding performance in the dormitory training activities, they are all qualified to participate in the autumn selection competition."

"Is that right?"

"It's hard for me to believe your explanation."

Erina's eyes were full of disdain and she responded unconvinced.

"Haha, I remember you also recommended Mito and Hisako?"

"Of these two contestants, one is your most trustworthy subordinate, and the other is your closest secretary, so it is also difficult not to let people..."

"Seniors, with their own cooking skills and cooking skills, they can definitely be ranked in the top 60. I can guarantee that they are much more reliable than the cats and dogs you recommended."

Hearing that Issey Hui actually poured the water back, Erina suddenly became angry and slapped the table, shouting loudly.

"Everyone can say beautiful things."

"The most important thing is that those who survive the trials by cooking are considered great, Erina, am I right?"

Ise Hui, still maintaining a smile, replied.

"You...okay, let's find out in the autumn selection."

Erina's eyes tightened and she said seriously. (End of chapter)
