Making Alice cry This Time

"Do you want to know?"

"Yes"

"Simple, my answer is, your Bento is not really a Bento, your Tamari Bento is delicious and beautiful, but the difference is…. Your Dish is made for a party and not for Bento."

"You use Nitrogen to keep your dish fresh,"

"Yes, that's right, using cold air is to keep the food fresh until the time you eat it."

"But you seem to have forgotten something important. Bento means to be hot at all times, and Yukihira did it excellently."

"He was thinking "Can I make a Bento that will stay warm even after half a day?" That's one of the point heget."

"Next he thinks of a box that is suitable for the concept of Heat insulation. He uses a Jar type launch box for hsi dish."

"By doing this, he is not only keeping the dish hot as long as he can, he is also adding the homey feeling of the dish."

"The warmth that preserves from that small jar lunchbox is the true meaning of Bento, this is not all about how fancy and the technique you use on your dish."

"This is about how you will present your dish, the time and the person you want to eat your dish with that kind of thinning, I'm pretty sure you can understand it already?"

Lou looked at him and continued," The fun and novelty of the Bento itself, the time he used to come up with this perfect plan, his idea before making the dish... did you ever think about it before creating your dish?"

"T-That…"

"Compared to his dish, yours is like a centerpiece of a table, it's beautiful and elegant, and that's it, the only difference is you did not think about the purpose of your dish."

All the judges nodded, they could easily see the difference between the two, from the very first they presented their dish, they already picked the winner of the match.

Looking at her crying face, Lou can't help but to say," Maybe if you think carefully the time, you can win against this classmate, but still you lose so losers don't have the right to cry so stop crying."

"Shut up.. Hic….. i don't want your sympathy hic….. Hic….. "

"The nevermind"

"Waaaaaah!!!"

"She really cried!"

"She is seriously crying this time!"

"Hey you made her cry~" Mansam teasingly said.

"That's right, you bully," Senzaemon added.

Lou helplessly looks at them, he looks like a bully right now than a judge, he can't help but to walk beside her and reach out his hand.

"Stand up, you're a proper lady of Nakiri and you're crying like a kid."

"Shut up!"

"Here wipe your nose, there's mucus coming up your nose."

"It's not mucus! It's tears!"

"Here let me wipe it for you."

Alice, who likes crying cats, helped Lou to stand up. He wiped her puffy eyes and said," Dont cry again, you're making my perfect image crumble."

"You're a bully! I will tell my mom about this!"

"Then better be fast before i hide in the mountain to prevent finding me"

"Don't act all haughty with me just because I failed this time!"

"Yeah yeah~" Lou thought,' Who was the one proudly last time.'

"I'm going to say that now! It isn't the end for me, I won't let anyone else belittle my cooking! Remember that Lou Takasu!"

"Okay~ okay, go away kid, the second match is about to start," Lou said while waving his hand as if he is pushing a random cat or dog.

"Y-You!! Hump! Have a nice day Lou!! See you later!"

"Hope we don't see each other again!" Lou whispers.

He felt annoyed and funny when talking to this girl. She is like a princess when she is proud of herself but when she is down she is like a kid.

Lou then walks back to his position and sees Senzaemon and Mansam teasingly smile.

"What?"

"Nothing." Both of them said,

.....

Meanwhile~

'That's right! This is not the end, Lou! I will get you back for this embarrassment! You will see."

"Just you wait and-"

Alice noticed Erina standing in her way, she looked expressionless towards her making her even angrier, she was and passed her but Erina had already started to speak.

"It seems your abilities were nothing special at all~" Erina teasing said.

"!!!!"

"What's with you!!"

"Erina, you're not only a genius at cooking, I also discovered that you're a genius at insulting people!!"

"I'm just staying the fact, you even let my fiance see your pathetic figure just now"

"So what, what can you do!?"

"Take distance away from mLou, he already taken and the number of girls around him is already two-digit, i just want to remember you that"

"So what, this is nothing at you, and beside, he is just your fiance nothing more nothing less,"

"Just stay away from him, loser~"

"Listen up! Just you wait until I come to take my revenge!! And I will take your fiance and embarrass her!!"

"Then good luck!"

Seeing Erina's easygoing face made Alice even angrier, she turned around and left angry." Erina, you diot! You will see it!!"
