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

"The texture and flavor of these shrimp are unlike anything I've tasted in all these years—incredibly firm, bouncy, and delicious! Normally, Toyama shrimp is only among the top ten shrimp in Japan, not the absolute best in the world. Yet, after his cooking, the deliciousness he achieved is comparable to the world's finest shrimp, such as Canadian Botan shrimp and Arctic sweet shrimp! This…"

Nakiri Soe felt his worldview was being turned upside down.

He has tasted top-notch dishes made with shrimp by top culinary masters.

However, compared to the shrimp in Lin Youshu's seemingly ordinary shrimp soup noodles, the conclusion is that there is not much difference in taste between the two!

In terms of taste, even Lin Youshu's is better!

"How can it be?!"

Nakiri Munee found it hard to believe.

These shrimp haven't undergone any special processing, so why are they so delicious?

He could understand how mixing different dishes could create a flavor greater than the sum of its parts, but he couldn't understand how cooking techniques could elevate the quality of an ingredient to a level it didn't originally belong to.

That's not scientific at all!!!

Chapter 91 Alice Nakiri, admits defeat!

Yamamoto Osamu and Nakiri Souei's exaggerated reactions left the onlookers dumbfounded.

what's the situation?

Before they could think too much about it, their first reaction after regaining their senses was to continue!

Those who have drunk the soup can start eating the shrimp, and those who have eaten the shrimp can start drinking the soup!

then……

Another long, mysterious silence followed by a strange expression.

"Comfortable!"

Yamamoto finally spoke.

His face was full of praise and even amazement: "This must be the most enjoyable and comfortable bowl of noodles I've ever eaten in my life! There aren't many ingredients, but the flavors of the shrimp, vegetables, and broth are all perfectly blended together. There aren't many fancy things; it's a very simple bowl of noodles, yet it makes you feel like you're eating a divine dish. I can only say that I am indeed inferior!"

Not too many frills?

Does this mean I'm too focused on those messy, superficial things?

Alice Nakiri felt a pang of hurt.

The staff members who were watching were dumbfounded.

"What? Senior Yamamoto actually admits he's inferior to that kid?"

"Doesn't that mean he's even better than a WGO 3-star chef?"

"The answer was actually quite obvious from the beginning. Could someone who could gain the approval of Lady Nakiri Managi be an ordinary person?"

"I misjudged him..."

"It looks like such a simple bowl of noodles..."

"I always feel like I could do it too."

"..."

Nakiri Munee said, "This bowl of noodles... far exceeded my expectations. It seems Managi was right. Lin-san, your talent in cooking is truly unmatched! However..."

At this point, his gaze sharpened: "My acceptance of you becoming the new master of the Water Dragon's Roar doesn't mean I agree to you pursuing Erina. These are two different things!"

"..."

Lin Youshu was speechless and sighed, "How many times do I have to say it? I can't stand Erina Nakiri's arrogant temper, so there's no way I would actively pursue someone like that. Your Nakiri family's wealth may be very tempting to others, but to me, it's just so-so. I'm not as interested in money as you think, nor am I as short of money as you think!"

"Better so."

Nakiri Munee fell silent.

The onlookers were once again stunned.

"Wow, even Lord Nakiri Soe is impressed!"

"What? The Water Dragon's Roar is getting a new owner?"

"Hiss... This is a really big problem!"

"Didn't you guys see the news before? Lady Nakiri Managi has already promised to give the Water Dragon's Roar to Lin-san. But let's leave it under Nakiri International."

"Lin Sang's cooking skills are so good, it shouldn't be a bad thing for us, right?"

"I'm still more concerned about Lin-san and Miss Erina..."

"..."

……

Alice Nakiri was completely dumbfounded.

Clearly, everything that was happening was beyond her comprehension, leaving her momentarily at a loss.

Oh, right, Auntie!

She quickly looked at Nakiri Managi, only to find that the other person was also looking at her.

"I suggest you try it too."

Managi Nakiri smiled: "After tasting it, you'll understand why Erina lost, why his cooking got a perfect score, and why I'm willing to eat what he makes! All the answers are in this bowl of noodles!"

"Huh? Is it... really that amazing?"

Alice stared blankly into space.

A few seconds later, hesitantly picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of soup, and put it in his mouth.

That moment!

She roughly understood why Yamamoto Osamu had that expression, admitting that he was not as good as Hayashi Yuuki.

It's understandable why the father's expression was blank; he was deeply impressed and acknowledged that the other party was qualified to accept the Water Dragon's Roar.

because……

This flavor was beyond her comprehension; it was a divine dish that she could never make!

Alice Nakiri always felt that she was a very happy person.

She is loved by her parents, comes from a noble family, and has a harmonious and happy family. In addition, she has a strong talent for cooking and rarely encounters any obstacles in pursuing her hobbies.

however!

Even someone as perfect as her could feel a sense of happiness greater than ever before from such a simple bowl of noodles!

Is this something that can be achieved by conventional gourmet food?

This is beyond the scope of science!

Molecular gastronomy does not include this kind of course content!

"No wonder Erina lost to him, no wonder the judges were willing to give him full marks, no wonder my aunt can eat his food even though she relies on nutritional supplements to survive!"

Alice Nakiri put down her spoon, looking dejected.

She knew that she had lost.

They lost completely, with absolutely no chance!

Now I finally understand why my aunt told Lin Youshu, "Why don't you play along with her?" when she first issued a food challenge to him.

It's obvious they never had any faith in her from the start!

……

"You've all tried it, and if you have no objections, then it's my turn. I've been starving for days, and I can finally have a good meal."

Nakiri Managi finally moved.

Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, he picked up the large bowl and took a big gulp of soup.

The moment the soup touched her lips, her eyes lit up.

He praised, "I thought it would be a bit worse than the boiled cabbage in clear broth last time, but it's not much different! Besides the deliciousness of the chicken broth, the sweetness of the shrimp, and the freshness of the spinach and tomatoes are all contained in this bowl of soup! It's really well made!"

The already stunned onlookers were now even more astonished, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

"Am I seeing things? Nakiri Managi-sama really ate something?"

"Yes, you read that right! But I'd rather it were an illusion!"

"No wonder Yamamoto-senpai always called us idiots, it's true, we're the ones with bad judgment..."

"I might really not be suited to be a chef..."

Is it too late to switch careers and become a coder?

"..."

Even Yamamoto Osamu, Nakiri Souei, and Nakiri Alice looked at her in surprise.

This event truly shocked them.

After all, they all knew what Nakiri Managi's past was like.

Now he's actually willing to eat on his own!

Even though I had seen related news reports and watched the replays of the matches before, none of that had the same impact as seeing it up close!

……

"I lost!"

Alice Nakiri, who ate a bowl of shrimp soup noodles clean and drank every last drop of soup, readily admitted defeat.

There was no anger or frustration, no tears of sorrow, only composure!

She is the kind of person who can clearly express her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

Although she has a more queen-like aura than Erina, she is actually a very frank girl.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she whispered, "Thank you for showing me a higher level of culinary skill."

Lin Youshu smiled and said, "Your molecular gastronomy is also amazing. You can combine various nutrients and textures. I don't understand that. I can only cook based on my experience."

Alice pouted slightly: "But I still lost to you, didn't I, fake?"
