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

Although you may not learn a lot in college, student life is always wonderful. It would be a shame to end it like this and go straight into the workforce.

Wasn't it enough that you spent so many years struggling and working your way up in society in your past life?

Moreover, studying doesn't prevent him from running a restaurant; at most, he can't operate 24/7 and will earn less.

Anyway, he's not short of money.

"Open your own shop?"

Tadokoro Megumi was taken aback, then delighted: "Then, can I come and help out then?"

“Extremely welcome.”

Lin Youshu nodded.

If he were to actually open a shop, he definitely wouldn't be able to manage it all by himself. It would be great if Tadokoro Megumi could come and help.

"With the skills of your seniors, business is sure to be booming!"

Megumi Tadokoro's eyes lit up with excitement: "Then it's settled. I will strive to graduate from Totsuki Academy with an even better level, and then go and join my senior."

Seeking refuge or something...

So weird.

He would definitely welcome him if he could come.

……

After exchanging contact information with Megumi Tadokoro and seeing off the overly excited fangirl, Yuuki Lin packed up his things and left the venue.

On the way, Xuecai called, just like yesterday.

First, offer your congratulations, then say a few sweet words, and then subtly ask him if he can make braised beef at home—it's practically a direct hint.

What could Lin Youshu say?

He could only reply that he would try when he had time, to fulfill the girl's wish, and only then did she hang up the phone, satisfied.

"I am back."

open the door.

Faint piano music drifted from the room.

Inside the kitchen, the vegetables had already been washed and prepared.

However, when Lin Youshu saw that there was beef in the ingredients, he was first stunned, and then he shuddered.

He quickly ran to knock on the door: "Um, the braised beef takes quite a long time to cook, so how about we eat something else tonight?"

Today's match took a lot of mental effort, and I want to get some rest, since I have the finals to deal with tomorrow.

Touma opened the door and said in surprise, "I wasn't planning on having braised beef today. I just wanted to eat beef, so I just made something simple."

Hearing this, Lin Youshu breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's not braised beef in a pot, it's fine. I was a bit nervous because of a phone call from Xuecai, and I didn't even notice that the ingredients I prepared weren't for braised beef in a pot.

Sigh, these little sisters, each one more troublesome than the last.

Chefs are definitely destined for a life of endless toil!

……

The dishes are ready.

Lin Youshu noticed that the TV was on and Touma was preparing the dishes.

However, when he saw the clip playing on a loop on the screen, Lin Youshu almost choked to death.

"A New Generation of Japanese Cuisine!"

"A Culinary Championship Held Every Four Years!"

"The culinary geniuses are eager to reach even greater heights!"

However, in this year's culinary championship, the ultimate demon king of Chinese cuisine has suddenly appeared!

"A monster at only 17 years old, achieving perfect scores in all three rounds of the elimination tournament!"

"The prodigies of Japan must defeat this formidable opponent if they want to win the championship!"

"..."

The lines are both passionate and a bit childish.

Let's look at the screen again—

Ten genius chefs, led by Erina Nakiri, stood side by side, while Yuuki Hayashi stood behind them in a huge silhouette, exuding immense pressure with his imposing presence, not to mention the red glow in his eyes.

"Wow! Am I playing the villainous boss?"

Lin Youshu was both amused and exasperated.

What the hell is this? The ultimate demon king of Chinese cuisine...

Unexpectedly, in order to boost viewership, the organizers actually worked overnight to produce a promotional video, and the quality was actually quite decent.

It's amazing!

However, the promotional video is a bit off, as it actually makes the other ten contestants, including Erina Nakiri, team up against him.

Everyone was clearly aiming for the championship!

"The Great Demon King of Chinese Cuisine?"

Touma's expression was strange; he wanted to laugh but dared not, forcibly holding it in.

Even though she is usually calm and aloof, she couldn't help but laugh when she saw the promotional video.

Lin Youshu could only twitch his lips and chuckle awkwardly, mentally criticizing the organizers and all the staff involved in making the video.

Before I could even sit down to eat, my phone received several messages.

Yukina: "Lin-kun, did you see the promotional video for the finals? It's so cool! Go for it, beat them and win the championship!"

Other classmates: "Wow, Lin-san is amazing! If I hadn't seen the promotional video, I wouldn't have known you participated in the cooking championship and even made it to the finals. I'll cheer for you tomorrow!"

Lin Youshu looked utterly hopeless.

The Great Demon King, right?

Row!

Tomorrow I'm going to make sure you bunch of little devils have a good time—

Unforgettable!

(I'll be late tonight; I spent the whole day messing with my phone.)

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Attention from the Nakiri Family

What Lin Youshu didn't know was that the outside world's attention to the TBLE Chef Championship finals was far more exaggerated than he had imagined.

Totsuki Culinary Academy.

The conference room was brightly lit.

As the supreme commander, Senzaemon Nakiri sat in the head seat, watching a group of people arguing incessantly about tomorrow's cooking championship finals.

"If we don't win this cooking competition, it will be a huge disgrace for Totsuki!"

"Totsuki Culinary Academy is indeed the strongest culinary academy, but Totsuki is not invincible."

"What would it mean if the leader of Totsuki Academy, known as the God Tongue, lost to an unknown nobody?"

"What you call being unknown is a thing of the past. He is now a star genius in the culinary world, a future legendary chef."

"A legend must grow to become a legend; one that dies young doesn't count."

"Totsuki Culinary Academy's goal is to cultivate more outstanding culinary talents. If only champions have value and can measure Totsuki's significance, then what's the difference between us and the Midnight Chefs?"

"Nonsense! We advocate fair competition, while late-night chefs resort to any means necessary. How can you lump them together?"

"Dojima, watch your words!"

　190 “Smith Marseille… But I still stand by my principles. Winning is certainly a good thing, but there’s no need to be too harsh on someone who loses. As a chef, it’s normal to encounter difficulties and setbacks during the growth process. No one can have a smooth journey from beginning to end.”

"Being defeated by one's own people and being defeated by outsiders are two different things!"

"..."

A group of people argued until the very end, and no one could convince anyone else.

They had no choice but to focus their attention on Senzaemon Nakiri.

As the headmaster of Totsuki Culinary Academy and the leader of the Japanese culinary world, he is known as the "Demon King of Food" and his word is law.

He adhered to a "competitive" education policy and once claimed that 99% of students were stepping stones for the remaining 1%!

The problem is, Erina Nakiri is his granddaughter...

If he really loses to Lin Youshu, even he can't say anything.

Although he was very interested in the boy who was called a future legend, he once considered whether to bring him over as a transfer student.

but--

Let's deal with the immediate problem first!

Senzaemon Nakiri's gaze was stern: "If Erina Nakiri loses tomorrow, what do you plan to do?"

This……

The two groups that had been arguing suddenly fell silent.

Even the council member who had the strongest objection didn't dare to speak up.

"Strip her of her titles as the top leader of Totsuki Academy and one of the Ten Elites? After that, who will replace her? And who will be sent to get revenge? What if she still loses?"

Senzaemon Nakiri's barrage of questions left everyone speechless.

Upon careful consideration, it's true that everyone is only focused on raising questions, but no one has considered how to solve them.

However, the old man did not stop and continued to fire away: "Everyone here is a professor at Totsuki Academy or an outstanding graduate of previous years, but apart from Dojima, who among you dares to say that you are confident of defeating that kid?"

Still no one spoke.
