"Hello, Mr. Katagiri, I'm a reporter for Food Weekly. It's a shame to see this result, you should be frustrated by now, right?"

"Frustrated, maybe, but there's also a sense of relief in my heart. Katagiri looked like he was pretending to be calm.

Katagiri-sensei, I'm sorry, but it's hard for me to understand what you mean. The reporter continued to ask.

"You should also know that I'm not good at Western food, so this game is very difficult for me. It's not easy to succeed in cooking. Katagiri pushed the middle frame of his eyes, and his tone was calm, and the loss to Kikuchi Sono didn't seem to have any effect on him, "Mr. Kikuchi is a very good Western chef, and her cuisine deserves this qualifying spot." ”

"For those of you who specialize in Japanese cuisine, it can be a bit difficult to cook a French meal. If the topic of this dish is Japanese cuisine, you may be the one who wins. The female reporter was upset for Katagiri Hiroshi.

'You can't say that, luck is part of the game. Maybe in the next round, I'll be lucky enough to win? Don't forget, this time, there are two qualifiers. Katagiri waved his hand, unconcerned.

"So, you're confident about the next round?" said the female reporter's voice, highlighting the tone of surprise.

"All I can say is secret. Katagiri winked at the camera, a slightly mischievous look on his face.

Zheng Ke turned around helplessly and looked at Xiaolin Gentian, "If you see it, others are not sure to put it in their eyes." ”

"You must defeat him and justify the name of our Far Moon Academy. "Xiaolin Gentian waved his fist and 'cheered' Zheng Ke.

Zheng Ke hurriedly returned to the villa and came to the hall, but found that Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo did not appear, and after questioning, he learned that Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo was being interviewed.

"It's really worthy of being the first player to enter the Asian region, and the popularity is really not to be said. However, it is beyond our imagination that the senior sister can win so smoothly. Zheng Ke shrugged.

"Kijiuzhi's Western food, that's not to say. Hua Zemu patted his chest and said.

"No, I just think that as a player who has reached the top four in Asia, even if Sister Kikuchi has a big advantage, she shouldn't have won the game so quickly. Zheng Ke said his concern.

"It's not easy. Because he didn't push himself into a corner, after all, he still had a way out. But, then again, you're a lot more stressed. Takasugi said.

Zheng Ke nodded, thinking with his toes that the next game would definitely not be as easy as this one.

The group came to the restaurant and ate a little bit, Takasugi Shouji pulled Hanazawa Mu and ran to the beach outside the villa.

"Zheng Ke, let's go with them too, right?"

Zheng Ke originally wanted to take a bath and rest early, but when he saw Catherine's slightly expectant eyes, he still nodded.

"I'm going to prepare for the next round tomorrow, so maybe I'm going to go to bed early today. ”

"No problem. Catherine smiled.

Zheng Ke, Catherine and Absolon came to the hall, and there were many onlookers around the bulletin board.

Zheng Ke and the three of them also walked over, and in the most conspicuous place on the bulletin board, they saw the next round of matches and the title of the game.

The next round was still a week later, but the topic was changed to Western desserts.

It's still Western food, well, and in this case, the chances of winning the next game will be much greater.

Zheng Ke touched his chin and thought in his heart.

"Sure enough, it was. Catherine said suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Zheng Ke turned his head and looked at Catherine in confusion.

"We discussed the topic of the next round in private, and found that only Western desserts were the most suitable. Catherine explained.

"Eh, how did you guess?" Zheng Ke asked curiously, can you guess the title of the competition?

"The topic of the group stage is appetizers, the topic of the first round of the knockout round is soup, the topic of the competition between you and Takamian is the main dish of Western food, and the topic of the competition of Senior Sister Kikuchi is the main dish of Western food - haven't you seen the pattern?"

"Because the topic at the beginning is relatively broad, the appetizer can also be said to be the first plate. Then there are the soups, the main dishes, the main dishes...... Ahh

"The exam questions in this series are actually the types of Western cuisine. Among them, the topics that have not yet appeared, one is salad, and the other is dessert. Salads are not very suitable for the finals. In contrast, desserts are easier to distinguish between high and low dishes. ”

"You're so idle that you can sum up this rule. Zheng Ke smiled bitterly twice.

"If you're not someone who has been playing, it's easy to figure it out. We are more relaxed, and it is easier to watch this national race from the big picture. Actually, Senior Sister Kikuchi also speculated the final topic. ”

After listening to Catherine's explanation, Zheng Ke also lost his temper, "In other words, Gao Jian'an and I are the last two people to know this law." ”

"Not necessarily, if someone doesn't remind him, he probably doesn't know all along, just like you. Catherine retorted.

"Also, if you hadn't told me, I would have been in the dark. Zheng Ke smiled bitterly, his eyes flickered, and he saw Katatong Yang walking leisurely in the distance, and suddenly, a thought that scared him appeared in his mind, "Wait...... Doesn't this mean that Katagiri Hiroshi may also guess the topic of the competition in advance?"

Catherine nodded, "That shouldn't be hard to guess. ”

"Broken...... I may have been overshadowed by Katagiri. Zheng Ke's brows furrowed.

"What do you mean?" Absolon glanced at Katagiri Yang, who was gradually moving away, and didn't understand what Zheng Ke was talking about.

Zheng Ke did not answer Absolon, but summed up the things that he felt abnormal in the afternoon, and his thoughts gradually became clearer.

"I'll just say, how did Katagiri lose so simply today, it turns out that his target is me. Zheng Ke's brows were furrowed, his teeth were clenched to his lips, and sweat was oozing from his forehead.

"Hey, Zheng Ke, don't scare me, what's wrong?" Catherine saw Zheng Ke's face tense, and her whole person became nervous.

"Don't you think that in this afternoon's game, Katagiri Yang's attitude towards the game is very abnormal?" Zheng Ke sighed, but his expression still did not ease.

"There were some, like today was just a friendly game, the win or loss of the game, he didn't care at all. Absolon recalls the afternoon's game.

"You're wrong, it's not that he doesn't take it personally, it's that he wants to win more than anyone else. Zheng Ke said.

"But he lost the game. Absolon asked.

"I know, but don't forget, Japan has two qualifiers. He knew very well that he had no chance of winning against Senior Sister Kikuchi, who was a Western chef herself. So, he gave up the game and put all his bets on the fight against me. Zheng Ke explained.
