Zongman: I'm in Tokyo and just want to open a restaurant peacefully

Is this because he's been spoiled?

"Please, Miss Xinhu, take me away."

Yuto Kamisaka knew that if he continued to stay here, there would be no end to it.

So he just left the room.

Get out of the battlefield!

Asking for flowers, comments, and rewards

Chapter 22: Some things are not just about high and low~ (Please give me flowers and votes!)

On the way back, Yuto Kamisaka also learned the identity of the Senza gatekeeper from Hisako.

The founder of Totsuki Academy.

Now he understood why the other party could arrange for him to enter Totsuki Academy.

Erina is one of the ten best students of the new generation of Totsuki.

After learning this, Yuto Kamisaka made a joke.

"Will I be punished for offending Miss Nakiri by doing this?"

As he spoke, he gestured horizontally across his neck with his hand.

Hisako was amused by Kamisaka Yuto's actions.

But he just smiled and then returned to his calm and serious state.

"Please stop joking, Kamisaka-kun. The young lady is not that kind of person."

"It's just a joke, don't take it so seriously."

Yuto Kamisaka felt a little helpless.

He was just joking but he didn't expect the other party to actually explain it.

"Please don't make such jokes casually."

If it were in the past, Xinhu Hisako would definitely be a loyal subordinate.

"Ok."

After Kamisaka Yuto finished speaking, the atmosphere fell into silence.

Yuto Kamisaka looked at the tall buildings outside the car window. The distance between each building was very close.

Although they were not touching each other, Yuto Kamisaka felt like he saw a net.

A huge steel net covering the sky.

Tightly binding everything underneath.

"Kamisaka-kun, may I ask why you refused to have a food battle with the young lady?"

Hisako's words interrupted Kamisaka Yuto's thoughts.

Her upper body shrank slightly when she asked this question.

The hesitation on the pretty face was easily visible.

“It just felt unnecessary.”

Kamisaka Yuto spoke lightly.

The girl's eyes flickered slightly, filled with a look of doubt.

"Why do you think Shokugeki is unnecessary?"

"Actually, I'm curious, what's the necessity of Shokugeki?"

Yuto Kamisaka did not directly answer Hisako's question but asked a question in return.

Xinhu Feishazi was slightly stunned.

The girl lowered her head slightly in thought.

"Through food battles, we can judge the quality of chefs and the level of their dishes, so that the winners can be vindicated and at the same time motivate the losers to keep trying."

The original intention of establishing Totsuki Academy was simply to select the best chef talents.

Therefore, all the systems established are full of struggle.

It encourages everyone to compete with the people around them.

Food Wars, in this academy, represents weapons.

Yuanyue is the battlefield.

When a student arrives at Totsuki, he or she is stepping onto the battlefield.

This is a different kind of fight, but in a sense it is no different from an ordinary fight.

The same cruelty, the same ruthlessness, the same heartlessness.

"Miss Xinhu, what you said makes sense, but I don't agree."

Kamisaka Yuuto shook his head.

Arata Hisako was stunned.

The girl stared at Kamisaka Yuto in a daze, her eyes revealing extremely complicated emotions.

"This food battle method is too cruel."

Kamisaka Yuto sighed softly. At this moment, he seemed as if he had experienced countless years. There was a deep light in his eyes that made Arato Hisako dare not face it.

But the next moment, Yuto Kamisaka's eyes returned to normal.

Arato Hisako even began to doubt herself about what she had just seen.

"I used to enjoy competing with others in cooking. Often my opponents would lose to me, and I would feel a sense of accomplishment when they did."

"I used to believe that there had to be a hierarchy of cooking skills, and that there had to be a distinction between good and bad dishes."

“But later I found out that this view was wrong.”

When Kamisaka Yuto said this, there was a hint of distant nostalgia in his eyes.

This touch of nostalgia penetrated directly into Feishazi's heart like the gentle and cold moonlight.

For a moment, Feishazi was a little dazed.

The appearance of the boy in front of me is a little blurry...

She seemed to see the figure of a gentle and wise adult sitting in front of her.

Gently telling her the story of the past...

“Even the worst cook will have his own customers…”

"What's on the surface is taste, what's engraved deep down is emotion."

"Some foods represent a lifetime of attachment and longing, while others represent a lifetime of taboos and pain. The preferences and choices between every meal are filled with twists and turns and hidden secrets."

“Even if the food is terrible, people will still eat it with a smile on their faces.”

"What you eat isn't actually food, but the deepest attachment in this world."

"Can you judge a dish like that by good or bad? Can you say anything about the person who made that dish?"

“I personally believe that the quality of food and chefs should never be judged by others.”

“All it takes is for the person who really wants to eat it to smile and say it’s delicious.”

"Using food battles to force a chef to bow his head is a form of torture for both the chef and the people behind him."

"Maybe I'm thinking too much. Miss Xinhu, there's no need to take what I say seriously."

Kamisaka Yuto smiled.

A lot of things happened to him in the past, and many of the truths were only understood later.

I did a lot of wrong things when I was young and hot-headed.

Now even if I want to make amends, I can't do it.

Xinhu Feishazi remained silent.

After listening to what Yuto Kamisaka said, she fell silent.

Those clear and beautiful eyes looked a little dazed as he looked at Kamisaka Yuto.

"Miss Arata?"

Yuto Kamisaka waved his hand in front of Hisako.

The next moment, Feishazi jumped like a frightened hamster.

Yuto Kamisaka couldn't help but laugh at the girl's cute posture.

The girl just kept her head down and didn't dare to look up. Her face was flushed and her heart was beating extremely violently...

"By the way, Miss Arata, there's something...don't forget..."

Arata Hisako hesitated slightly.

what's up?

Why doesn't she remember?

"Ahem, ingredients..."

Yuto Kamisaka coughed twice and then muttered two words in a low voice.
