Crossover Anime: Starting with a Fusion of Master Chef, a Top-Tier Master Chef

Looking back now, I realize I was short-sighted.

……

The students looked at each other, and finally accepted the fact.

The next second, applause, cheers, and screams erupted.

Too bad!

Everyone present was excited and thrilled.

Together, they made history!

Nothing could be more gratifying than this. In the face of the result, all the busyness and hard work of today were worth it!

Yukina looked at Hayashi Yuuki with even more excitement.

If it weren't for so many people watching, she would have pounced on him.

OMG!

It's unimaginable.

Of course, she knew very well whose credit it was for achieving such results.

"Mr. Lin deserves much credit for creating such a business miracle!"

As the cheers subsided, Setsuna cleared her throat and raised her voice.

The other students realized what was happening and unanimously agreed.

"Yes, yes, yes, Lin Sang is really amazing!"

"Without Mr. Lin's delicious cooking, we would be lucky to sell 20 yen."

“I have no objection. Besides, Lin Sang has been in the kitchen all day without a break. He’s worked much harder than us, but he just didn’t say it.”

"Lin Sang is too modest; he doesn't seem to be arrogant at all."

"I hereby declare that from this day forward, Lin Sang is my elder brother!"

"..."

Lin Youshu was both amused and exasperated, and quickly stopped them, saying, "It's not as exaggerated as you all say. I was just doing my job. Today's achievements are the result of everyone's joint efforts; I was just one part of it."

The more he said that, the more everyone admired him.

See that!

Although Lin Sang does not yet have the qualifications of a master, his behavior already meets the qualities that a master should have: superb skills but always with the heart of an apprentice!

Despite doing so well, he was not arrogant or complacent.

How can you make people not feel good about you?

For a time,

Everyone admired him more and more, and many female classmates were even thinking to themselves whether they should find an opportunity to confess their feelings to Lin Youshu.

After all, they're in their final year of high school and will soon be facing college entrance exams. They shouldn't let their youth be filled with regrets.

Even if we fail, it doesn't matter, after all, Lin Jun is so outstanding, right!

Faced with everyone's unreserved praise, Lin Youshu smiled and said, "Luckily, we prepared enough materials, otherwise we might have closed at noon."

At this point, Setsuna said embarrassedly, "It was my oversight."

Lin Youshu shook his head: "I didn't mean to blame you. Who would have thought we could sell so many meals?"

It's you, of course!

Setsuna looked at him with eyes full of adoration.

At the same time, he pondered for a moment and asked, "There shouldn't be this many people tomorrow, right?"

To everyone's surprise, Lin Youshu shook his head and said, "No, I actually think there will be even more people coming tomorrow!"

"Oh no?"

Yukina was surprised.

Other students also expressed their doubts: Will those people come again tomorrow? It seems unlikely.

Lin Youshu explained, "Food isn't like daily necessities or digital products; it's not something you can buy once and then never need to buy again. If you really like a dish at a certain restaurant, and your finances allow, would you only eat there once and never go back? So, given that our curry rice, miso soup, and grilled fish are all reasonably priced and taste far superior to other stalls, why would they not choose us?"

"Those who have tried our food today definitely won't choose any other stall. And those who haven't tried our food before will surely come out of curiosity after hearing about it from others. So I boldly predict that the number of customers will definitely increase!"

Hearing him say that, everyone suddenly understood.

That seems to be true!

Yukina asked, "So, do we need to prepare the same amount of ingredients tomorrow as we do today?"

Because there was some rice left over.

Lin Youshu thought for a moment and said, "Prepare about 20% more materials at most, and make sure the amount for the third day is less than the first day. After all, we need to leave enough time in the afternoon to clean up the mess."

"Okay, listen to you!"

Xuecai had no objections.

The other students were even less convinced; their trust in Lin Youshu had even surpassed their trust in Xuecai.

……

"I am back."

Lin Youshu pushed open the door and changed into slippers.

"Welcome home."

Touma, who was sitting on the sofa, turned to look at him when she heard the voice and asked, "Were you very busy today?"

Lin Youshu stretched and smiled, saying, "Yes, it's super busy. There are more customers than I expected, but luckily I was prepared beforehand, so it's not a big problem."

Seeing the unusual weariness on his face, Touma knew that things were not as simple as he made them out to be.

Lin Youshu walked towards the kitchen: "Are all the vegetables washed? Wait a moment, we'll be eating soon!"

Touma instinctively said, "Let's rest for a bit, there's no rush."

"Rest? No need, I'm not tired. I'll eat early, then take a shower, and then play games or watch TV."

Lin Youshu smiled and waved his hand.

Touma hesitated, then stopped trying to persuade him further.

Dinner was the same simple meal as always: three dishes and a soup.

Scrambled eggs with beef, minced meat with eggplant, blanched bok choy, and lotus root and pork rib soup.

I won't go into the specific steps, as these are all home-style dishes, and the ingredients are not much different from those in restaurants. The key is Lin Youshu's excellent seasoning and control of the heat.

The portion wasn't large; it was just enough for two people.

After clearing the dining table and returning to the living room sofa, Touma, unusually, didn't immediately go to take a shower.

Instead, she hesitated and asked, "Do you need my help?"

"what?!"

Lin Youshu didn't react for a moment.

It took me a moment to understand what she meant by "help".

I was immediately surprised.

what's going on?

Touma has actually made this request for the first time ever!

hiss--

Is this really the Touma I know?!

Lin Youshu was filled with doubt and surprise.

Seeing his exaggerated expression, Touma was annoyed and snorted, "Never mind if you don't need it."

Well, her proud and aloof little mood is kicking in.

Lin Youshu thought for a moment: "We are indeed short-staffed in terms of taking orders and serving food, but the girls are all dressed in maid outfits. Are you sure it's okay?"

"Maid outfit?!"

Upon hearing this, Touma immediately backed down.

Asking her to reluctantly help serve the dishes was already an unprecedented act of lowering herself, yet she still wanted to wear a maid outfit?

Never!

What a shame!

Lin Youshu smiled, not thinking anything of it; it was expected.

It was just talk, as expected. Given her personality, there's no way she would actually go to the scene to help serve the food. I can't even imagine that scene!

After taking a shower, drying his hair, and lying down on the bed, Lin Youshu quickly fell asleep.

He was busy all day, and given his physical condition, he should be fine overall, just a bit mentally exhausted.

at the same time.

Touma was still agonizing over the previous topic, and didn't come to an answer even after falling asleep.

……

the next day.

Lin Youshu arrived at the school early, waiting for the staff who were late to deliver the materials.

It turned out that people were already lining up to wait even before the classroom doors opened.

When those people saw him, they quickly pressed him for answers:

"Do you still sell curry rice today?"

When can we open for business?
