It has been quite some time since Jaden became the world's number one chef.
In the beginning, some people thought that if Jaden could become the world's number one chef by relying on some special ability, then they could certainly defeat him using the same special moves or methods and become the new world's number one chef!
But as time passed, they gradually came to understand, or rather, accept one thing.
That is...
-Jaden is unconquerable!
They even started to rate Jaden as an exception when normally evaluating a chef's culinary skills!
Because you genuinely cannot win against him!
Even the formerly undisputed world's number one chef, Saiba Joichiro, and the man who later even defeated Saiba Joichiro, Asahi Saiba... even they never talked about challenging Jaden.
And Saiba Joichiro's son, SOhma Yukihira, who has recently made a name for himself in the culinary world through continuous challenges and winning streaks-even he never talked about challenging Jaden.
Jaden is the world's number one chef-this point has become an unquestionable truth in the culinary world, much like the necessity of breathing.
So...
When people heard that Jaden's fiancée, the God's Tongue, and Totsuki's Director, Erina Nakiri, planned to initiate a Shokugeki against Jaden, the news was like a bomb dropped into the culinary world, immediately drawing a crowd!
The Shokugeki Administration was the first to react!
A peak duel between the world's number one chef and the God's Tongue!
This kind of hype immediately led the Shokugeki Administration to seize the opportunity, directly designating the day of the peak duel as a culinary holiday-Shokugeki Day!
-Then, in the 'holiday' they promoted, they announced that all judges were on holiday today to celebrate the festival, and no judges were on duty. They declared themselves a department of conscience, always taking mandatory days off for holidays!
Erina didn't care about this kind of thing, though.
It didn't matter if the Shokugeki Administration didn't send judges; she had her own professional judges!
For example-Gin Dojima!
For example-Kojiro Shinomiya!
And for example... her father, Azami Nakiri!
After Erina called out their three names, others, led by Asahi Saiba and Soma Yukihira, even burst into laughter, looking like they were celebrating the holiday!
Gin Dojima and the others felt even worse when they heard the laughter.
But Gin Dojima and Kojiro Shinomiya couldn't be the first to refuse... after all, Erina had even sought out her own father to eat sh... ahem, to be a judge. Since her own father hadn't refused, how could they refuse!
So, the two of them just stared intently at Azami Nakiri, attempting to make him understand on his own!
However, Azami Nakiri's father-daughter relationship with Erina has only recently softened, and he is trying hard to make amends with Erina... so, he looked at Gin Dojima and Kojiro Shinomiya, who were blocking his path and staring wide-eyed directly at him. He expressionlessly pulled out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket, put them on, and signaled that he saw nothing!
Ah, this...
Gin Dojima and Kojiro Shinomiya were dumbfounded, and then Azami Nakiri turned and walked away.
Since Azami Nakiri agreed, Gin Dojima and Kojiro Shinomiya could only agree as well!
However, although the judge problem was solved, the venue was selected, and Totsuki had more than enough ingredients-this Shokugeki was only a part of the banquet.
The first part was the banquet.
And it was a banquet personally prepared by Erina.
So, after everyone was basically full, Erina changed into her chef's uniform and began her cooking.
Fuki Kure sat with Karura, Mukuro Ikusaba, and Tsumugi.
The three people around her all looked as if they had been brainwashed by Erina's cooking, which made Fuki Kure a little scared.
But that fear vanished without a trace the moment she picked up Erina's dish with her chopsticks and put the first bite into her mouth!
Mmm...
As the flavor of the dish exploded in her mouth, the distinct layers that even she could clearly perceive, and the depth that seemed to be contained within that clarity-the taste made Fuki Kure lose herself for a short time.
And during this momentary distraction, the smile on her face became genuine.
The Kure Clan's mission, the need to at least strengthen her relationship with Jaden or create an opportunity at this banquet... she forgot everything at this moment!
All she wanted now was to eat the dish in front of her.
After eating it, she wanted to eat the next one.
After today, she hoped to eat it tomorrow too. As for the Kure Clan's mission...
When Fuki Kure thought of this, she instantly snapped back to reality, her eyes wide, covered in cold sweat!
She was about to-she was about to give up the Kure Clan's mission for the sake of food, just like Karura!
This made her look at the dish placed in front of her, biting her chopsticks, feeling a sudden sense of fear.
-These dishes are definitely problematic!
However... however...
Even though she knew this, Fuki Kure still couldn't help but reach out with her trembling chopsticks.
Mmm-
It tastes so good!
...
Jaden naturally received Erina's dish as well.
And although Erina made many things, she didn't forget the Seafood Rice that Jaden particularly likes.
Jaden generally eats the food made by Erina when they are together and she is not busy, but looking at the bowl of Seafood Rice in front of him, which looked like a treasure chest, he could clearly feel that this bowl of rice was not on the same level as the rice Erina usually cooks!
And this bowl of rice indeed had a special buff that Erina's usual cooking did not.
Erina's usual cooking also comes with [Taste Bud Explosion], and this bowl of rice also had it, but besides that, another buff was added after it-[Omniscient]
[Omniscient: A level only achievable by a creator who has tasted and successfully mastered an incredible number of flavors. The layers of flavor are infinite, and the flavors are numerous but not chaotic. Each flavor stimulates a sufficient number of taste buds and lingers long after, leaving a lasting impression. Both the impact and the depth of the flavor are beyond imagination.]
Seeing this, Jaden understood what Erina meant by improvement.
To be able to achieve such a feat means that Erina has indeed utilized the God's Tongue to a certain extent-the current Erina has probably already surpassed Saiba Joichiro. Even Asahi Saiba, who commands the Cross-Knife, could not achieve the same result even if he were to use Erina's chef's knife.
With this thought, Jaden took a bite.
Mmm...
At that instant, Jaden's eyes widened.
Putting a mouthful of Seafood Rice into his mouth, the information received by his taste buds in that split second was frighteningly vast, and yet not chaotic!
Even with so many taste stimulations, Jaden could clearly discern the overall structure and classification of the flavors, yet if he were to investigate closely, he could seem to sense some flavors he hadn't noticed before within the originally clear taste. If he dug deeper, it seemed there were still many things hidden within!
It wasn't until Jaden realized that the flavor on his taste buds was still bursting even after swallowing one mouthful, and the flavors of the second mouthful began to complement the first, that he smiled.
Erina's cooking was so delicious that it made him laugh out loud!
And...
-He was now thinking about which unfortunate soul would get to eat this 'lingeringly flavorful' dish once the taste was cursed~
