Chapter 55

Another VIP room, Nakiri Senzaemon stayed there with a group of lecturers.

"I didn't expect the director to agree with this competition?" Roland Chappelle, as usual, had a serious expression on his face.

"Youngers always have to compete with each other to make progress." Senzaemon's expression was calm as usual, making it was impossible to see what he was really thinking.

In fact, when he learned that Erina was going to compete with Shijun, he was also shocked. However, the conditions set between the two seemed to him more like a fight between children. At the same time, he also had the idea of ​​letting Erina suffer a little, so he didn't stop it.

His precious granddaughter, since childhood has been very successful in cooking. If Shijun could make her suffer a little, it would be beneficial to her future growth. Although Senzaemon dotes on his granddaughter he cared more about her future.

That's right!

Senzaemon didn't think Shijun would lose at all. Knowing the identity of the other party, he knew how terrifying the inheritance of that family was.

Shijun, who was released after more than ten years of hard training in the deep mountains, was like a dragon flying in the clouds not comparable to the current Erina. Just watching Shijun's Shokugeki, Senzaemon had already faintly felt the strength of the other party.

He didn't think Erina could win.

...

"Oh~~~ I believe everyone has been looking forward to this shokugeki for a long time!"

Urara Kawashima, who became the emcee once again, revealed a youthful breath all over her body.

"I've kept everyone waiting, so let's not talk more nonsense, and now we have three beautiful examiners on the stage!"

As Kawashima's voice just fell, the lights of the venue illuminated the entrance passage.

"Oh my god... it's actually Sonoka Kikuchi-senpai?"

"The second seat of the 89th Tōtsuki Elite Ten, she is currently the head chef of her own Restaurant 'Shunkatei'. I didn't expect the Shokugeki Official to invite her here!"

"Love, Kikuchi-senpai is a super celebrity who has set up her own business within two years of graduation!"

Under the light, a waist-length hair woman accompanied by a chest-length hair strand tied at the bottom by a black bow (which is generally over her right shoulder) with bangs covering her forehead, light-blue eyes and a curvy figure

There was a burst of cheers from the scene. It seems that this senior has just graduated was still very popular in the school.

"Look, that's..."

"Kiri no Jou Inui Hinako-senpai? The second seat of the 80th Tōtsuki Elite Ten!"

"And she's also the proprietress of the Kirinoya, and she's also a super chef!"

Everyone stared at the two beauties who slowly entered the arena. Unexpectedly, the Official had invited these outstanding graduates of the previous years for this shokugeki. In addition, it was the second seat of the previous Tōtsuki Elite Ten.

It was just the third woman who appeared, which disappointed the audience a little. Natsume Sendaware, although she was also a mature and beautiful woman, her popularity in Tōtsuki was obviously not as good as the previous two senior sisters.

Three beauty examiners with different styles took their seats They seem to be looking forward to this match.

"Then... Next, we invite our protagonist-"

"Lady Erina and Shijun to enter!"

Kawashima Urara mobilized the atmosphere of the scene just right. Now, the scene was on fire. Everyone couldn't wait for the protagonists to appear.

The tall Erina stepped into the venue with her long legs, and she was full of queen style. Behind her, Hisako and a male assistant follow.

This man obviously only exists as a porter. When he put the ingredients and kitchen utensils on the cooking table, he hurriedly retired.

At this time, the tall Shijun approached slowly. He had a spice box slung around his waist, with a knife handle showing from the box.

Isshiki Satoshi and the others in the VIP room on the second floor couldn't help but be slightly taken aback. Especially Eishi Tsukasa and Akanegakubo Momo who had been keeping an eye on Shijun.

It was the first time they saw Shijun carry kitchen utensils with him. When the other party competed with others in the past, at most, he only carried spices with him. It was conceivable that the other party attached great importance to this shokugeki.

Shijun followed Maria and Tadokoro Megumi. Maria was carrying a box and Tadokoro Megumi was holding other kitchen utensils.

Although some kitchen utensils were provided, most of the chefs were still used to using their own things.

On the cooking table, Shijun and Erina stood opposite each other. The former looked relaxed, while the latter looked serious. Facing Shijun as the opponent, Erina was very serious now. She knew that she had to show all her strength today.

"Look, what is that?"

"Blue lobster? American blue lobster?"

"No, the American blue lobster is not so slender, this... this is a mutant blue lobster!"

"Is that the mutated blue lobster that claims to have one out of two million lobsters on average?"

"My God, how much is this one worth over fifty centimeters in size?"

"At least a million dollars!"

"Damn, Erina-sama is willing to come up with such precious ingredients"

"..."

At this moment, everyone truly realized Erina's determination to win this Shokugeki. Even unhesitantantly to come up with such expensive ingredients.
