The Chandra’s Room

This was the special Shokugeki arena that the members of the Elite Ten Council usually used to challenge each other.

Azami had no other choice, he agreed to Eiji’s offer to do Shokugeki so that at this time— the students sat in the spectator seats. They couldn’t help but glance at Eiji standing on the arena. While many girls were mesmerized by his extremely handsome appearance. Many male students underestimated him and thought he would lose this duel.

However, that was normal.

Some of the girls in the rebel group were not even optimistic about Eiji, especially when seeing who the representative chosen by Azami was to fight him.

“Erina-sama, why don’t you represent us?” Ikumi asked nervously to her idol.

Erina who was sitting with her arms folded raised her eyebrows and looked at Ikumi unhappily. “What? Don’t you believe that Eiji will win, Ikumi?”

Ikumi panicked and hurriedly shook her head. “No, I know that Erina-sama’s boyfriend is definitely no ordinary boy. But his opponent is—”

“W-Who are you calling my boyfriend?! Eiji isn’t my boyfriend!”

Before Ikumi could finish her sentence, Erina interrupted her with a blush on her cheeks. She had almost forgotten that Eiji had made many people misunderstand that he was her boyfriend.

Hisako who was sitting on the other side of Erina sighed. She knew Eiji and her boss were not really dating yet. Still, did the girl have to deny it in front of the girls in this room?

Did she not know how Ikumi and the others had looked at Eiji before?

Their gazes were somewhat wrong.

Erina-sama, you fool!

Don’t you feel the crisis that your rivals will multiply?

Erina didn’t know her secretary was scolding her in her heart.

And sure enough after she denied that Eiji was not her boyfriend. Ikumi, Ryoko, Yuki and even Megumi were stunned and had strange expressions on their faces.

As for Rindo? She laughed.

By the way, there were only girls in the room. As for Soma and the other boys? They were kicked out by Rindo and sat in another place far away from them.

“That boy isn’t your boyfriend, Erina-sama? But didn’t he say the opposite earlier?” Ikumi was confused and come to think of it, she was also curious about Eiji’s relationship with Rindo.

After all, yesterday she had seen the two of them having sex! She naturally thought that Eiji might have deceived Erina and secretly had an affair with Rindo.

However, she was in no hurry to say her guess.

“That…” Erina didn’t know what to say. At that moment, the VIP room door opened and a silver-haired figure appeared.

And as if having eavesdropped on their conversation, she walked in and said, “Eiji was just joking, he’s not Erina’s boyfriend but my boyfriend~!”

“Alice…!”

Before Erina could even respond, she was already shouting her cousin’s name. There was a prominent vein on her forehead so anyone could tell she was upset.

However, there was worry in her eyes as she wondered if her cousin had preceded her?

Alice smirked, she just wanted to tease her cousin before sitting next to Rindo and snorted. “Hmph! Erina, you’re so sly.”

“Sly?” Erina sometimes didn’t understand how her cousin’s brain worked.

“Yes, you are sly! You used your problems with your father so that you could stay at Eiji’s house with your secretary last night!”

Alice knew this and complained.

“Ehh?!”

“How hot~! And you say you two aren’t dating?”

“Erina-san, you even took Hisako-san with you? Oh my~”

“Erina-sama? I-I understand. You and Eiji have an unusual relationship.”

Megumi, Yuki, Ryoko and Ikumi were shocked.

“Hahaha! Should I say that I’m also Eiji’s girlfriend?” Rindo dropped a bomb.

Erina and Alice knew this so they weren’t too surprised when she said that. But Hisako, Ikumi and the others?

They were starting to think that Eiji was a playboy.

Yet because he was so handsome— Erina, Alice, Rindo and even Hisako were fine and didn’t blame him!

Ryoko looked at Eiji standing on the arena in awe. Under the sunlight, his blonde hair looked shiny and made him as handsome as a male god!

If it was him, she also probably wouldn’t mind sharing as long as he…

“I-I didn’t do it on purpose, okay? And Alice, we just stayed at Eiji’s house last night and nothing happened!” Erina said and at the same time recalled a strange dream where she saw the things Eiji did with Rias and others.

However, how could she say that!

“Really?” Alice narrowed her eyes and didn’t think that Erina was lying. She was relieved because that meant she could still beat her at it.

Erina was really a loser.

When the time comes, she will definitely regret being a tsundere.

“Yes.” Erina frowned. The way Alice looked at her annoyed her. She must be thinking of something bad.

On the other side.

“Hi Eiji-kun, I’m Eishi Tsukasa. I’ll be your opponent in this duel.”

The person Azami had chosen to represent his group was the First Seat of the Elite Ten Council.

Etsuya and several other Elite Ten members on his side were not satisfied because just to fight Eiji, Azami did not hesitate to choose the strongest among them.

Eishi introduced himself cordially to his enemy and looked at the audience nervously.

Eiji was not surprised by the actions of the boy in front of him and said, “You’re the First Seat of the Elite Ten Council? Good. My father-in-law at least didn’t pick that four-eyed boy, he’s too weak.”

“What are you saying?! Arrogant boy, give me a chance and I’ll beat you! Sending Eishi-senpai just to fight you is clearly too much!”

Who was the person Eiji mocked and he roared from the spectator seats?

Eishi smiled wryly. “Sorry, Etsuya may have offended you. But believe me, he’s also always like that with most people.”

“You mean he’s like a thug? I believe so. But Eishi, do you have to apologize for his sake?”

“…..” Eishi was silent and thought Rindo’s boyfriend was very attractive. Wait, are they dating? He himself wasn’t sure since Eiji said he was Erina’s boyfriend.

In the Elite Ten member’s seat, Etsuya had a gloomy face and looked at Eiji with a cold gaze. However, when the boy glanced back at him and they looked at each other for a few seconds.

“Pfft!” Etsuya’s face turned pale and he suddenly vomited blood.

He didn’t know why but when looking into Eiji’s eyes, he felt like he was looking at something very scary.

It was even more frightening than Rindo’s gaze that he felt his body become very weak.

“Eizan, what’s wrong with you?” Nene and the other two Elite Ten members were stunned.

Was Etsuya suffering from heart disease or something?

If not, why was he vomiting blood!

Eishi didn’t know what happened to Etsuya and changed the topic. “What theme of food do you want Eiji-kun?”

“Theme? Didn’t my father-in-law decide it for us?”

Eiji glanced at Azami who was sitting in the VIP seat, his face was grim but he could see the anxiety in his eyes.

That man still hadn’t given up on becoming the principal of Totsuki Academy. However, he was now starting to be careful not to offend him further.

Eishi shook his head. “No, the principal said you can choose any food theme you want in this competition. And I don’t mind cooking with whatever food theme you choose.”

He said that confidently even though he was often nervous and shy when being stared at by many people.

[This is the first seat of the Elite Ten. Unfortunately he was not the protagonist. But in order to defeat him, protagonists Soma and Erina must work together.]

[Oh wait, I remember that too because Azami arranged a two-person team match in the last round.]

[That time Rindo teamed up with Eishi. But in this life, I don’t know why things have changed.]

The heroines:

Eiji, do you seriously not know?

Wasn’t it because you seduced Erina and fucked Rindo?!

Since you did that, how could those girls get close to any boy other than you?

“…..” Erina was speechless. She didn’t expect that she in the original work would team up with Soma in cooking.

And did they win?

She waited for Eiji to say the result of the match but no, he didn’t continue what he said!

“Then let’s cook with the theme of True Gourmet.”

“Are you serious?”

Eiji nodded. “I am.”

Eishi looked at Eiji in confusion because why not?

Although he didn’t know how great the boy’s cooking skills were that Azami asked him to do his best to defeat him in this match, he should have used this opportunity to choose the food theme he was best at to increase his chances of victory.

But no, Eiji chose the theme that his opponent was best at!

Azami was excited because he knew that the food theme in this Shokugeki was True Gourmet— Eishi who was the First Seat of Elite Ten was very good at making such food.

He himself liked the food the boy made because it matched his view of the True Gourmet.

“Hahaha!” Azami laughed wickedly. “Eiji is too arrogant to think that in addition to being good at making low-class dishes like fried rice, he’s also good at making high-class dishes. I can’t believe he’s better than Eishi in this regard!”

…

In another VIP room.

There were two men who were watching Eishi and Eiji’s match.

One was Senzaemon and the other was a muscular man with wild-looking brown hair.

The latter came to Totsuki Academy because he was invited by the former. If Erina was here and saw him, she would probably be excited.

Why, it was because he was the protagonist’s father, Joichiro Yukihira!

“What do you think of the two youngsters cooking on the arena, Joichiro?” Senzaemon asked with a smile as he watched Eiji’s cooking skills.

It was his first time watching the boy cook and he was amazed.

The same was true of the spectators and even Azami.

“They are very talented, especially that boy named Eiji. His knife skills surpass me and so do his other skills.”

Joichiro said that with an expression that even his own son, Soma, had never seen.

How could he not?

The cooking skills that Eishi himself showed were already very good and better than the First Seat in his gerenation.

He was like a knight who perfectly maximized every best aspect of the ingredients he used in his cooking.

But Eiji? That boy…

His cooking skills are inhuman!

Or rather how could someone chop ingredients in mid-air in one second?

What about the way he mixed the ingredients? Not just his speed, but the combination of ingredients chosen created the illusion that they were alive.

Joichiro narrowed his eyes and almost stood up from his chair.

“Old man, are my eyes troubled or do you see it too?”

“Hehe I also want to ask you the same question, Joichiro.”

“…..”

“…..”

Joichiro and Senzaemon looked at each other.

It was clear that they were not hallucinating!

At this moment, above the arena.

Eiji was performing a combo of god-level cooking skills, voice of ingredients and biochemical catalysts.

Every ingredient he chose was not only the best of the best. But because he could manipulate biochemistry, he was able to maximize every flavor of each ingredient to a level that was impossible for other chefs.

Even though the ingredients he was cooking had not been tasted yet so people did not know how they tasted, the aroma emanating from it made everyone in the arena gulp and hallucinate a foodgasm.

“This…” Eishi who was cooking was even a little unfocused due to seeing his opponent’s cooking skills.

He now understood why Azami was so afraid of Eiji.

No, Eishi didn’t understand. He didn’t know what really made Azami afraid of Eiji was the giant ant that he had as his subordinate and the other supernatural things behind it.

Just like everyone else, Soma was fascinated by Eiji’s cooking skills which were extremely fast and wild but beautiful.

He even felt that his father’s level was still lower than that boy!

A while later— Eiji and Eishi had finished cooking and were serving their respective dishes.

There were four people including Azami each sitting at the judges’ table. The other three were high ranking WGO judges who couldn’t even be bribed by any amount of money. But what about the last one?

Although Azami was in the opposite group to Eiji. He swore by his own pride that he would not be biased just because Eiji was his enemy, he would be objective.

Eiji didn’t care about that because even if his future father-in-law was biased towards him, he wouldn’t be able to lie after tasting his dish.

But as if feeling it was unfair to him— Senzaemon walked up to the judges’ table to everyone’s surprise.

“Azami, you want to be a judge in this match? That’s not fair to Eiji-kun. Since you want to do that, you should also add me. What do you think?”

“Do as you wish, father-in-law.”

Azami wasn’t worried if his father-in-law also wanted to be a judge. He knew that even though the old man was on Eiji’s side, he wouldn’t be biased in this matter.

“Who wants to go first?” Asked one of the WGO judges named Charme.

Eiji remembers that WGO stands for the World Gourmet Organization, which is made up of the most professional people in food judging. It was said that this organization was both respected and feared by chefs and people in the culinary industry. Every year, or once in a while, they release a book known as the canon or bible, which releases all the fine dining restaurants that qualify. If they give you just one star, it’s enough to elevate that chef’s fame and popularity to new heights.

But the most interesting thing about this organization is…

[Wasn’t WGO created by my future mother-in-law? Mana Nakiri? Unfortunately, she’s not the judge. If she was here, I would have been able to get her approval to marry Erina].

Hearing this, Erina was relieved that it wasn’t her mother who was judging. Otherwise, Eiji would have become even more shameless.

She was already numb and no longer surprised if Eiji even knew about her mother.

“Eiji-kun, you want to go first?” Eishi was very friendly.

Eiji shook his head. “No, I’ll be the last to make it more dramatic when I win.”

“…..” Eishi.

“…..” The judges.

They couldn’t help but think that Eiji was very confident.

“As expected from my boyfriend!” Rindo shouted from her seat.

Many boys looked at Eiji with envy. Not only was he very handsome and his cooking skills were outstanding. He was also dating Rindo and Erina.

Wait, what?

“Eiji, you’re also dating other girls even though you already have Erina?” Azami couldn’t help but complain with a grim face.

Of course even though he said that, it didn’t mean he agreed to Eiji dating his daughter.

However, Eiji didn’t need to say anything because right now Senzaemon was defending him by saying, “Azami, stop meddling with love affairs between young people. I myself have given permission for Eiji.”

“Father-in-law– no, Senzaemon. Did you forget to take your medicine?”

This was the first time Azami had heard his own father-in-law agree to Erina dating a bastard like Eiji.

Before the two people could argue, the female judge named Courage coughed. “Ehem! Can you two talk about your family matters later?”

Hearing this, Azami and Senzaemon didn’t argue anymore.

Eishi opened the cloche on his plate. “The name of this dish is Lièvre À La Royale.”

The dish consisted of five parts: Lièvre Ensemble, Rabbit Blood & Chocolate Sauce, Custard Royale, Chestnut Confit, and Fig-Apel Fruit Puree Sauce.

Lièvre ensemble is made of rabbit neck meat and rabbit hamstring meat ground into a cylinder and fried in a pan. And the rabbit blood & chocolate sauce contains red wine, rabbit meat & bone fond, foie gras, chocolate, and wild rabbit blood.

Under the chocolate sauce is a custard royale made from eggs, consommé and porcini mushrooms, chestnut confit, and fig-apple puree sauce. When these five parts of the dish are eaten together, it produces a perfect symphony of flavors that each enhance the other.

When tasting Eishi’s dish, all the judges including Senzaemon had a foodgasm where they saw a beautiful meadow and a rabbit.

Senzaemon’s clothes were even torn and he was half naked so anyone who knew him knew what that meant.

Erina was a little worried. “Eiji will win, right? There’s no way he’ll lose.”

“Erina-sama, if you say that in front of Eiji-kun, he’ll definitely be happy.”

Hisako said that.

Erina looked embarrassed by what her secretary had said.

Alice snorted and started mocking her tsundere cousin.

The two girls started arguing in the VIP room which left Hisako and the other girls speechless.

“Eiji, your turn.” After praising Eishi’s dish with the other judges, Senzaemon immediately asked Eiji to introduce his dish.

He was excited and couldn’t wait to taste it.

Azami actually felt the same way but there was no way he could say it.

“Alright.” Eiji opened the cloche on his plate and the appearance of his dish surprised everyone!

“Handsome, what is this?” Another female judge named Anne asked with a flirtatious look at Eiji.

She had seen many handsome men but Eiji was much more handsome than all of them!

This… Isn’t this a male god?

Eiji looked at Anne whose appearance was familiar to him. If I’m not mistaken besides being a first class judge at WGO, she was an assistant to his future mother-in-law.

He smiled at her.

Not only by his dish, Anne was also mesmerized by the smile of the boy in front of her and felt her cheeks heat up. But remembering Azami and Senzaemon’s conversation that he was dating more than one girl

She was a little disappointed that the male god was a bastard!

Even so, they might be able to become friends? After this duel is over let’s exchange contacts.

If Eiji knew what Anne was thinking, he shook his head because was there a pure friendship between a handsome man and a beautiful woman?

He was pretty sure it didn’t exist.

Anne was clearly lusting after him.

[Host, what you think is only true from your point of view. There are many handsome men and beautiful women who have pure friendships out there.]

‘Have you ever seen one, Miss System?’

[Not for now.]

Eiji felt Miss System was joking with him.

He ignored her and said, “The name of this dish is…”

[….]

Don’t tell me it’s Golden or anything like that.

“Hachis Parmentier 999.”

[Huh? Host, are you sick?]

He had already stopped using Golden in his dish name but Miss System was still complaining…

Eiji really didn’t understand.

Wasn’t the name of the dish this time very cool?

The judges and the spectators were silent. They must have been amazed by the name.

“That’s a unique name, Eiji-kun. Let’s taste it.” Anne took the lead and decided not to comment on the name Eiji chose for his dish.

What exactly did the number 999 do?

She didn’t understand.

But since Eiji was so handsome, she thought he was cute.

By the way what did the dish look like?

It consisted of an outer layer of mashed potatoes with an inside consisting of minced meat pieces.

For garnish, Eiji used Alsatian Potato Crepe which contains finely grated potatoes with crepe batter. He also made a Sardine Pomme Galette containing potatoes, cheese and semi-dried sardines. Then, he combined it all with Meat Bordelaise Sauce made using droplets of entrecôte and hot goat’s milk.

However, what the judges didn’t know. Eiji had also manipulated the biochemistry in his dish so that when they tasted it— they would feel the highest dimension of deliciousness.

“Aahhh~!!!”

Anne let out a very lewd moan with a beautiful face that made the male students excited.

The same thing happened to the female judge named Courage. What about Azami, Senzaemon and Charme?

They were crying in various poses and couldn’t say anything because they were caught in a foodgasm that was different depending on gender. It was the most delicious food they had ever tasted so they doubted whether Eiji was human.

Their over-the-top reactions shocked the spectators.

But soon it was decided that the winner was…

[Did I say earlier that I would win?]

The heroines: “…..”

No, you didn’t.

Even so, you now win!
