Food Wars, I Come From a World Captured by Food

——Yutsuki Academy, back mountain—

"Oh no! President!"

In the academy's interest organization called "Taste Alchemy Hall" located in the back mountain area of ​​​​Totsuki, a student who was responsible for information collection ran into Eiyama Ezuya's office shouting.

He fell to the ground as he opened the door. He looked up weakly and saw Ruishan, who was wearing white and looking at the map of Tokyo, and propped himself up.

He looked up and said, "Oh no, President, I heard from WGO... I heard... I heard..."

He hesitated for a long time because he was too shocked. After saying "heard" for a long time, he still couldn't say what he had heard.

"I'll give you one last chance. Tell me, what did you hear?"

Then, it was no surprise that Eizan Ezu became impatient. Although he was the ninth of the new top ten, he was still just a first-year student in the senior department.

But with the dream of a business empire in his heart, he had already cultivated the absolute majesty of a superior: "If the news you are telling us is not worth your pretentiousness for so long, then pack up your things and get out of the [Taste Alchemy Hall]!"

"I heard that the hosts for the Shokugeki competition between you and that Kobayashi Kiyomasa have been replaced! The current hosts are Miss Erina, General Nakiri Senzaemon, and Special Executive Nakiri Managi!"

Facing the threat from Eizan Ezuya, the student who didn't want to lose his position at the [Taste Alchemy Hall] bit his tongue hard and finally blurted out the explosive news, then looked up to admire Eizan's shocked expression.

"What?! Miss Erina?! The commander-in-chief?! And that WGO's special executive officer are going to be the hosts of the food battle between me and that Kobayashi Kiyomasa?! This... How is this possible?!"

Sure enough, Nakiri Managi's arrangement shocked Eishan Ezu, and then, the next second, he thought of the huge business opportunities contained in it: "This is impossible! Why would the special executive of the WGO intervene in the food battle between me and that Kobayashi Kiyomasa?

Great! Hurry up! Go find me some ingredients!

Want the best! The best!

The best mushrooms! The best base! And flour!

And! And contact the TV station! I want everyone to see the moment Special Executive Officer Nakiri eats the ramen I made!"

Eishan Ezu was also very excited, because he could imagine with his heels how much benefit "ramen that can satisfy the WGO special executive" can bring him!

First, he opened a main store, branches, and franchise stores. After the stores were spread all over Japan, he opened a factory to produce instant noodles, and his business empire would rise!

It was precisely because of the huge incentive of profit that, after the best ingredients on the market were delivered according to his request, when making the soup, Ruishan Ezu was in a state of excitement. From processing the ingredients, processing the auxiliary materials, adding and subtracting seasonings, to boiling in the pot, every link was so perfect, reaching the peak of his life so far.

It worked!

As the rich aroma of the soup wafted from the cauldron, an idea suddenly struck Eizun's mind, revealing the reason why he hadn't been able to replicate the taste of "Extreme Soup." "That's right! It must be like this! Someone, bring me five live chickens and five live ducks! And some barbecued pork! And some bamboo rolls!"

That’s right, after the broth in a ramen shop is made, it’s always boiled with ingredients! The reason why the broth I copied before didn’t feel right must be because I didn’t boil the ingredients with it!

Just like that, after boiling the whole chicken, duck, and a few pieces of barbecued pork, Ruishan tasted the flavor and nodded with satisfaction: "Hmm! Good! Next, just simmer it over low heat overnight, and by tomorrow morning, this pot of "Extremely Delicious Soup" will be ready.

Kobayashi Kiyomasa, right? You thought you could keep the secret of "Extreme Flavor Soup" secret from me? What a ridiculous mortal! Let me show you what the word "genius" means! Being defeated by your own family's secret recipe, you should die with no regrets, right?

With a grim smile, Ruishan Ezu has made all the preparations and is just waiting for tomorrow to come so that his business empire can be established.

Chapter 18 I'll give you one

"Erina, you have to remember, if Kobayashi-kun's ingredients are served and you discover they are made with fantasy ingredients, you must remember not to pick up your chopsticks!

If you feel too hungry, then eat Eizan-kun's food!"

The next morning, early in the morning, on the way to the Shokugeki competition venue, Nakiri Senzaemon was still muttering to his granddaughter not to touch fantasy ingredients.

"Oh! I see! You're really nagging!"

Then, he was disliked by his own granddaughter for being nagging.

——Food Wars Venue——

Because Shokugeki has a certain legal significance, formal Shokugeki competitions must be held in special venues certified by organizations such as the WGO. Some foodies and studious culinary professionals also come to watch.

If it is a food battle between some well-known chefs, it may even be broadcast live on TV and attract national attention.

For example, at this moment, the venue is full of people, and more than a dozen media outlets are walking around with cameras, constantly interviewing the audience.

"Hello, may I ask why you want to watch this food battle?"

"Of course, it's because of Totsuki Academy's new Top Ten, Eizan-kun! Let me tell you, Eizan-kun is a real talent! He's only a freshman at Totsuki High School, and he's already ranked ninth among the Top Ten.

In the future, he will definitely be ranked first among the top ten!"

"Eisan!"

"Eisan!"

"Of course it's Eizan!"

For a moment, almost everyone in the entire venue was shouting Eiyama Edatsuya's name. It didn't look like a food battle, but rather like a big star giving a concert.

"Thank you! Thank you everyone!"

Amidst the thunderous cheers, Eishan Ezu, dressed in a white chef's uniform, a top hat, and rimless gold-rimmed glasses, slowly walked out of the entrance passage, pushing a soup pot. Standing at one end of the venue, he confidently waved to the audience, enjoying the cheers.

In comparison, Lin Qingzheng, who also came out of the aisle on the other side pushing a soup pot, was not so eye-catching. In fact, under the limelight of Eishan Ezuya, he was even booed.

"Shh! Just give up! How could you possibly defeat Eizan-kun? You're ridiculous!"

——Backstage——

"Damn it, this guy is such a showoff! It's just an ordinary food battle, why did he make such a big fuss?!"

In the backstage lounge, Erina Nakiri stood behind one-way glass, looking at the bustling venue and the dozen or so local TV stations. She frowned unhappily and looked at her grandfather beside her. "Grandpa, with things coming to this, is it really okay for me to give up and refuse to taste Kobayashi-kun's cooking? Wouldn't that tarnish the reputation of the Nakiri family?"

"It's okay! Erina!"

Facing his granddaughter's worry, the Food Demon King smiled happily, his brows full of confidence that looked down on everything: "My Nakiri family has never had to sacrifice our family members to maintain any reputation. For us, family is the most important thing. Everything else is just a passing cloud."

"Then, Kobayashi-kun's food battle..."

Erina still had something: "If I don't eat his food and just declare him the loser, and if that woman does the same, then Kobayashi-kun will lose."

After spending two days together, and obtaining some precious fantasy ingredients from him, and witnessing Lin Qing's desperate efforts in cooking, Erina's impression of Lin Qingzheng has improved a lot. "Shokugeki, isn't it supposed to be fair and just? By doing this, am I not tricking him?"

"Hahahaha! It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"

Nakiri Senzaemon was still laughing. "Even if he loses, all he'll lose is a store and a few hundred million yen. Besides, do you think Managi will be able to resist Kobayashi-kun if he brings out ramen made entirely of fantasy ingredients?"

"Ah~! As expected, you understand me best, Father!"

While the grandfather and grandson were talking, a voice came from the direction of the lounge door: "If Xiaolin-kun can really come up with a dish made with all fantasy ingredients.

I really couldn't refuse.

So, to ensure the fairness of the game, I made a double insurance, Ann, and Thistle! "

"thistle?!"

The Food Devil turned around in horror, and sure enough, he saw the man and woman standing quietly next to his daughter's wheelchair at the door of the lounge.

The woman was dressed in serious black, holding a book in her arms and wearing a pair of glasses. She looked very serious, earnest and intellectual.

As for the man, he was a gloomy guy with black hair and eyes. He was pushing his daughter's wheelchair with his hands. He looked over here a little embarrassedly and nodded at them: "Father, Erina!"

"How come you are here?"

Facing such a trio, Nakiri Senzaemon was still able to keep his composure, but when it came to Nakiri Erina, she completely lost her composure: "You, didn't you two separate a long time ago?"

"Ah! Since we can separate, we can certainly reconcile!"

Facing her daughter's questioning, Nakiri Managi put on a playful smile: "What's more, this concerns the ownership of three whole fantasy ingredients! For 100% success, I'm not afraid even to work with the devil, let alone reconcile with my husband, with whom I only had a minor disagreement."

"It's about the ownership of three fantasy ingredients?! What are you planning to do, Managi?" After hearing what Nakiri Managi said, the Food Demon King finally lost his composure. He glared at his daughter angrily, "You want to manipulate the outcome of this food battle?! Force Kobayashi to fail, and then seize the source of those three ingredients from him?"

"Ah~! Don't be so harsh! I didn't intend to manipulate the outcome of the food battle!"

Facing his father's questioning, Nakiri Masaki waved his hands lazily: "I just wanted to make up for my tongue defect and make the process of this food battle fairer, so I invited two more high-level judges!

Here, WGO's first-level executive, An, and the head of the Tokyo Gourmet Agency, Mr. Nakiri Tsukushi, if that Kobayashi-kun is truly superior to that Eizan-kun, then conquering their tongues should be a piece of cake, right?"

"You! You bastard!"

Erina was practically pissed off by this shameless woman. What was this about making the duel fairer? Wasn't it just because she was worried she and her grandfather would vote for Kobayashi-kun? She'd deliberately brought in two more judges to dilute the weight of each vote, making the panel of three judges five. Kobayashi-kun would have to get three votes to win.

And if he fails to win, this greedy and shameless woman will definitely find ways to harm him until he is forced to hand over the source of his fantasy ingredients.

"Dear audience members! Welcome to watch this Shokugeki tournament. I'm the host of this competition, Rantabi, the second-class executive of the WGO!"

At this moment, when Erina was worried, a pure and beautiful girl with short golden hair came out from the backstage of the venue with a microphone in her hand.

"Wow~! Why is it her?!"

As soon as the girl appeared, all the catering practitioners present, as well as the chefs who were watching the live broadcast, exclaimed: "How is this possible?! That's Lantabi! The second-rank executive officer of WGO?! And she's just a small host!

It's unbelievable. With Rantabee's identity, she is qualified to be a judge in almost any food battle competition in Japan, but now, she is just a small host...!

Could it be that...

Is the promotion for this food battle real?!

Chapter 191 Luxurious Jury

During the promotion of this food battle, three key points were highlighted.

1. The best ramen in Tokyo will be shown off. The winner will be the best ramen in the whole city.

2. The contestant in the food battle is Eiyama Ezuya, the ninth of the Ten Great Masters of Totsuki Academy.

3. This is a food battle judged by Erina Nakiri, Senzaemon Nakiri, and even WGO special executive Managi Nakiri.

At the beginning, most people thought that the first two were probably true, but the third was impossible, absolutely impossible.

Eizan Ezu is only the ninth of the Ten Great Masters of Totsuki. If Erina Nakiri and Senzaemon Nakiri might come because they are from Totsuki, then Managi Nakiri is a great god that the entire Japanese culinary world cannot invite.

But now, Rantabhi is here, and she is just the host of this food battle.

Something is wrong!

Who will be Eizun's opponent in this food battle?!

Almost immediately, this question arose in the minds of all those involved in the culinary industry who were paying attention to this food battle.

This...this guy...actually asked Special Executive Officer Nakiri to come?!

Even Ruishan Zhizu, who was originally full of confidence, looked at Lin Qingzheng with some fear.

However, Lin Qingzheng’s comment on this was: Good legs, I can play with these legs for a year!

Uh... he was talking about Rantabi's long, straight, white legs that were exposed under the half-green sweater.

Well, he is a leg control!

To Lin Qingzheng, the so-called WGO was just that, and what really mattered to him was the neighboring IGOS, the organization that captured the world of gourmet food. That was the organization where the true masters gathered.

Let’s not talk about cosmic gods like One Dragon, Two Wolves, Three Tigers and the Food God Acacia.

Even the Four Heavenly Kings of Gourmet and IGO cadres during the plot period were all continental-level tough guys. Compared with them, WGO was not even as good as an ant!

However, Lin Qingzheng now is just a tiny speck of dust.

"Now, please welcome the judges of today's Shokugeki competition! First up, [God's Tongue] Ms. Erina Nakiri! And Mr. Nakiri, Chairman of [Tokyo Gourmet Agency]!"

Rantabi read out the names and positions of the judges one by one, starting from the lowest to the highest rank. Although she believed that this food battle only required the Special Executive, since the Special Executive had assigned five people, she naturally had to read out their names as well.

"Erina! Are you okay?"

"I'm fine now! You don't have to worry about me!"

Just as Rantabhi was still controlling the rhythm, preparing for Nakiri Managi's stunning final appearance, as Nakiri Erina and Nakiri Tsuyoshi walked out of the lounge, the entire venue was plunged into a discussion: "Wow! The first judge to appear is Lady Nakiri Erina!"

"Eh?! That's not right! Aren't the judges supposed to be Erina-sama, the Gourmet Demon Lord, and Nakiri Managi of WGO? Who is this Nakiri Tsuki? He's the chairman of some [Tokyo Gourmet Agency], sounds pretty cool!"

"I don't know. Besides, the relationship between him and Erina-sama seems a little strange! The two of them seem to be at odds with each other!"

"Wait! Since the first two judges are Erina-sama and this Nakiri Tsukushi, who is the next one? Is it the Foodie Devil Nakiri Senzaemon-dono? Or that sir?"

As Erina and Nakiri Azuchi took their seats, the ordinary audience in the venue and in front of the TV engaged in a heated discussion.

As for those real culinary practitioners, they were shocked by the presence of Tsuyoshi Nakiri: it was actually Chairman Tsuyoshi Nakiri!

He actually came to be the judge of this food battle! And he was the second one to appear!

Oh my god! Could it be that the Special Executive Officer is really coming?!

"And... let us welcome the First-Class Executive Officer of the WGO, Lady An, known as the 'Goddess of Judgment'!"

"Wow! It's Goddess Ann! Goddess Ann has appeared! Oh my god! The judging panel for this food battle is so impressive!

Then, the appearance of Ann, wearing a black long skirt, holding a thick red leather book, and with an expressionless face, made all the culinary practitioners exclaim. For ordinary people, Ann's reputation may not be as loud as Erina Nakiri, but in the eyes of catering practitioners, as the second person of WGO and the one who established the star rating standard for cuisine, Ann is undoubtedly the goddess of food.
