"Erina-san, is your body really okay? No matter how much you rest, rest, it's nothing......" Scarlet said to Erina with some concern. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Don't worry! I'm not that squeamish yet, and I have to hurry! ”

"Hold on?"

"I mean...... Hurry up, there will be a collective audit next month. Scarlet, you're the only one who 'returned empty-handed' in this collective audit, right? Erina said.

"I'm sorry to disgrace you!" Scarlet Shazi said seriously.

"If you know, go and practice! I don't want to see you fail next time! Erina said.

"Yes!"

Seeing Scarlet Shazi leave with a generous and righteous expression, Liu Pleiades secretly gave Erina a thumbs up.

If Liu Pleiades is asked to explain to her, but in the end she can't tell the reason, Scarlet Shazi will definitely feel depressed because Liu Pleiades and Erina have something to hide from her......

However, Erina's "preemptive voice" snatched back the initiative, so that Scarlet Shazi didn't care about whether Erina had something to hide from her, but immediately went to prepare for the next collective audit.

Because of Scarlet's worship of Erina, as long as anything is connected to Erina, she will have a sense of honor three times higher than that of ordinary people!

It's like when he lost to Ryo Hayama in the official round of the autumn trials, Scarlet Shazi once "ran away from home" because he couldn't accept it......

To a large extent, Scarlet Sako was not unable to accept her own failure at that time, but because she couldn't accept herself as Erina's assistant, but failed!

"Hey." Watching Scarlet Sand leave, Erina couldn't help but sigh.

"This is also something that can't be helped, after all, you can't tell her about the 'cataclysm', and this is also for her good." Liu Pleiades comforted him.

"But some guys, tell them anyway, okay?" Erina was obviously talking about the people of the Liu family.

As for the news of the "cataclysm", who should be disclosed to know and who should be kept secret, Liu Pleiades and Erina couldn't make up their minds, so they had to consult Ling'er again.

Ling'er's answer was beyond the expectations of the two!

"Feel free to ...... But the number of people who know must be controlled within a small range, and make sure that the six 'dragon chefs' don't know. Ling'er said.

"Huh? Don't let them know? Liu Pleiades said in surprise.

Originally, he and Erina thought that they should be informed as much as possible, or that they should be convinced as much as possible!

Among them, Master Xie, Master Lin Yi, and Joichiro are all okay, and the other three people ...... Among them, two of the "Michelin Food Federation" and the "Brahmin Tasting" are estimated to be hard to believe the words of Liu Pleiades and Erina!

As for the sixth dragon chef who came out recently, for Liu Pleiades and Erina, they belong to the category of people who "can't communicate"!

"That's right, the control of the owner of the 'cursed kitchenware' is subtle...... At the same time, it is 'absolute'! Based on previous experience, it is best not to let the other person know that he will be controlled. Because in this way, the impact on him himself is minimal, and if he is somewhat prepared, not only will he still be unable to resist, but will cause a series of other unpredictable changes. Ling'er said.

"I think it's best for us to leave no one at the notice except the commander-in-chief." Liu Yuxing frowned when he heard this.

After all, this matter is too unbelievable, unless they see the existence of "Ling'er" and let Ling'er tell them in person, the convincing power may be greater......

However, it is a pity that except for Liu Pleiades, who has both "super vision" and "super hearing", and Erina herself, who is the host, no one else can detect Ling'er's existence.

And the only one who will trust the two unconditionally, or trust Erina, and can help in this matter, is Senzaemon!

Others, including Scarlet Shazi, Yu Mei, Xiaohui, Liu Yuyuan and others, will also believe Liu Pleiades and Erina, but after telling them, it will not help except to cause panic.

In the hearts of the elders of the Liu family, they must trust Lin Yi and Master Xie more, and there may be a possibility of leaking the news......

"Let's go find my grandfather first! There will definitely be a time when we need to use the power of the far moon to cooperate with us. Erina said.

"Well, you go to the commander-in-chief, and I'll prepare cardiac emergency medicine......"

Seeing Erina glaring at herself, Liu Pleiades couldn't help but explain: "The commander-in-chief is also a lot older, and I'm worried that he won't be able to accept such exciting news!" ”

In the end, Erina still had confidence in her grandfather's heart, and directly dragged Liu Pleiades to Senzaemon's office......

Senzaemon saw Erina pulling Liu Pleiades and stumbling in, as if he had been unchanged for thousands of years, and his face also showed some doubts: "Huh? Erina, are you all right? Yes...... What's the matter? ”

"This, this...... Let's let Ah Xing talk to you! Erina didn't know how to say anything.

"Huh? Why did you suddenly push it to me at this time? ”

"Aren't you a boy? It's up to you, of course! Erina said.

Senzaemon interrupted in more and more confusion, "What the hell are you going to say?" Liu Pleixing, come on! ”

"This ...... That is true! By the way, before I say that, Commander-in-Chief, you should drink a glass of water to calm down your emotions, and then be sure to stay calm no matter what you hear. ”

After Senzaemon heard it, he looked at Liu Pleiades solemnly, and Liu Pleiades didn't know if it was an illusion, why did he always feel that the commander-in-chief seemed to have a certain hostility towards him?

Of course, from Senzaemon's point of view, it was his granddaughter who pulled a boy...... And it's also before"School Festival",The boy who had a chance encounter with the boudoir,Hurried into his office.。

The two seemed to have something important to say, but Erina looked scared and asked Liu Pleiades to say it first......

No matter how you look at it, this is going to be a "showdown"!

There may have been even more serious "accidents"!

Coupled with Liu Pleiaus's current rendering, the commander-in-chief has to have some bad associations......

"Erina said that you will be able to accept it, and you don't need other assistance, so I'll just say it......"

Liu Pleiades always felt that Xianzaemon's eyes became more and more terrifying.

"I think you should know that there is another life form in Erina's body......"

When Senzaemon heard this, his eyes immediately widened, as if he had been hitting his face for thousands of years unchanged, and his face also became beautiful, and at the same time, a voice of unknown meaning came out of his throat.

"Huh? Woohoo! ”

"Commander-in-chief? Commander-in-chief! You hold on! Really, I said that this kind of thing, you should take medicine first, but Erina she has to say that it doesn't matter......"

"......Hmm

"Erina! The commander-in-chief seems to be dying...... You just said an opening, huh? Your old man's ability to bear it is too poor, right? ”

Liu Pleiades was also very helpless, and Senzaemon's reaction was too great...... Wrong! I guess the reaction was too fast, right? He hasn't said anything yet!

"You go to die!"

As soon as Liu Pleiades turned around, he saw a fist "rushing" towards his nose, because he knew Erina's temperament, so he overcame his body's evasive reaction, and pretended to be in pain to cover his nose.

"Grandpa! You drink water first, don't listen to Ah Xing's nonsense, what kind of life he talks about, what kind of medicine...... It's all! He's talking about my kitchen heart......"

Erina explained while patting Senzaemon on the back.

To Liu Pleiades' surprise, Senzaemon really gradually eased up, and until Erina explained the matter about the "curse of the Neanderthals", Senzaemon never pulled it back.

"Are you all right? No need to take medicine? Liu Pleiades pretended to rub his nose and asked.

Senzaemon glared at him angrily and ignored him.

It's not that Senzaemon Taishan collapsed in front of him and his face didn't change, but he was scared out of antibodies by Liu Pleiades before!

What "another life", what "it's all because I didn't take medicine", Senzaemon feels that the previous news is about the same as the end of the world......

"It seems that the prophecy of those people in the Liu family is correct, there is really trouble...... And there is one thing, I don't know if what you said has anything to do with it, I wanted to talk about it at the regular meeting next week. Senzaemon said solemnly.

"What's the matter?" Liu Pleiades hurriedly asked.

"The rules of 'The Blue' have changed a bit, and only four teams have made it to the main tournament out of the contest this time......

"Does the main draw start directly with the semi-finals? Wouldn't it be too rushed? Liu Pleiades said suspiciously.

"No, there are still eight teams in the main competition, but there are four teams that are 'shortlisted'."

"And the escort team? It's strange that teams that have made it to the main tournament can't participate a second time, which means that there shouldn't be seeded players on 'The Blue'. ”

Indeed, all the participating teams, either who have not participated in "The Blue" or who have participated but have not made it to the main tournament, obviously do not need to be escorted......

"Another change is that there is no restriction on whether or not you have participated in this registration!" Senzaemon said.

"What? Isn't that ......," Erina exclaimed

"Well, when I first heard the news, I was not very optimistic about the results of the cadet team, after all, compared with those old celebrity chefs, you are still a little immature, as for the reason for the restructuring of the schedule, I guessed that it was because of the 'three major cooking organizations', all of which were bound to win the 'Jade Dragon Pot', so I took this opportunity to liberate my strongest combat power......

"The strongest combat power of the three major cooking organizations? Wait a minute! Could it be that the four escort teams are ......" Liu Yuexing's pupils suddenly shrank.

"That's right, it's the team of the three major cuisines and the American Development Association, and it has been confirmed from the Liu family that the team of the 'Dragon Chef Alliance' will be led by Master Xie and Master Lin, and even Joichiro has accepted their invitation and will temporarily join the 'Dragon Chef Alliance Team' during the competition!"

"Then this team really lives up to its name...... Liu Pleiades said heavily.

"The situation of the other three should be similar, and they will all be led by dragon-level chefs." Senzaemon said.

"Mr. Joichiro will participate in 'The Blue' again?" Erina wondered.

Now that they already know what happened at the beginning, with Joichiro's character, it is strange that they would agree to the invitation of the Dragon Chef Alliance!

When Senzaemon heard this, he said, "Indeed, I contacted him before, but he told him, 'It's just a whim, and I suddenly have some interest in the Jade Dragon Pot'......"

It seems that this is the subtle effect of the "curse" on them!

When the dragon chefs themselves didn't realize that there was something wrong with their ideas, they made some decisions that were not in line with their original intentions!

"It looks like 'Curse' wants to use 'The・Blue' as a stage for this 'cataclysm.'" Liu Pleiades said.

"Grandpa, is there a way to stop or delay the holding of 'The Blue'?" Erina asked.

Before Senzaemon could answer, Ling'er's voice sounded first: "It's useless, the 'curse' can't be delayed in this form, and now it's just other 'dragon chefs' who show their interest in the 'Jade Dragon Pot' and then participate in the competition, if the competition is canceled, it will only make them make a move that deviates more from their will...... In the most serious case, he will even completely lose his mind as a human being, frantically looking for the 'Jade Dragon Cauldron', even if he kills or traps him, it will only make the 'curse' take effect for another person. ”

"But isn't the real 'Jade Dragon Cauldron' still sealed? What kind of 'curse' is that, you can't even tell the truth of the Jade Dragon Cauldron? And the 'Jade Dragon Cauldron' hasn't appeared yet, why has the 'curse' already begun to take effect? Liu Pleiades couldn't help asking.

Although Senzaemon couldn't see Ling'er, he also knew who Liu Pleiades was talking to when he saw this.

"The 'curse' has not yet begun, it can only be said to be a prelude...... Ling'er said.

"Prelude? In other words, even if we meet other dragon chefs in the competition, as long as we are not dragon chefs at the time and the 'Jade Dragon Cauldron' has not been released, there will be no 'Dark Halberd'? ”

"Theoretically, so. But your contest is two months away, right? I can already faintly hear someone knocking on the door. Ling'er said.

"Knock on the door? What door? Liu Pleiades said and glanced at the office door.

At the same time, I reacted immediately!

"Wait! Are you talking about ...... 'dragon-level' door? Liu Pleiades wondered.

There will be subtle inductions between dragon-level chefs, as if it is a door completely isolated from ordinary chefs, and then the person on the other side of the door will know who has opened the door.

And Ling'er, as the first dragon-level chef in history, now has a special form, so she can see and feel the birth of other dragon-level chefs, but others don't know about her existence.

"Someone actually solved the breakthrough? Damn it! What a mess at this time! ”

"If nothing else, whether the world will continue to be peaceful or start to be turbulent will be decided on this 'The・Blue'!" Erina said.

"Only...... Is it two months? ”

"No, 'The Blue' has a long schedule, and it will take two months to add up the preliminaries and the main race...... That adds up, we've got four months left. Erina corrected.

Ling'er interjected at this time: "By the way, since the prelude to the 'curse' has begun, I believe that someone will react soon, you better hurry up." ”

"What's the reaction?"

"The sealing of the recipe is a gradual process, and before the 'Dark Halberd' happens, some people will be affected first and begin to develop ......allergies to some ingredients," Ling'er said.

"Part of the people? That shouldn't be a big deal. Liu Pleiades breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the manifestation of the sealed recipe is that human beings begin to have allergies or toxic side effects to ingredients, then "some" people have reactions and suddenly become allergic to some ingredients, and it is a big deal to eat others, so that there will be no war because of this matter.

Senzaemon finally said, "By the way, because this 'The・Blue' is a year where all chefs can apply as long as they meet the '24-star system', this year's 'The・Blue' is called 'All'Blue...... If you have any needs in 'AllBlue', you can directly ask the group, and then I will give you the highest authority for the entire Far Moon Group during the 'All-Blue' period! ”

"Huh? Ah Xing, what are you doing? Erina found that Liu Pleiades had been rubbing her eyebrows after hearing Senzaemon's words.

"It's nothing, I think since the competition is called 'AllBlue', it would be advantageous for me to curl my eyebrows a little bit......"

Obviously, no one present could hear Liu Pleias's stalk!

And just half a month after Liu Pleiades and Erina's special training, the two heard Scarlet Shazi talk about an incident, which was speculated to be related to the "curse".

That is sub-Saharan Africa, which is also the least developed region in the world, and food poisoning incidents are frequent!

At first, other countries thought it was caused by environmental pollution, but later it was discovered that there was nothing wrong with the ingredients that poisoned them, and it seemed that their constitution began to change......

For this reason, the three major cooking organizations have also sent special support teams to investigate the cause and help the southern African countries as much as possible, among which the "Shintomori", as the master of medicinal diets, also received an invitation from the Dragon Chef Alliance, and Shintomori also gladly accepted it.

"That's what 'prelude' means? There are more people than expected, and ...... How can it be so concentrated? Liu found that he had thought too simply.

If these people were branches all over the world, as long as most of the recipes were not sealed, it would not be a big problem, but now in southern Africa, a large area where it is difficult to eat, the situation there has deteriorated even more......

Originally, there was not enough to eat, but now some of them can't eat...... To add insult to injury!

"Where was the Neanderthal territory?" Liu Pleiades wondered.

This time it was Erina who answered him......

"On the contrary...... According to modern research, southern Africa is the birthplace of Homo sapiens! The reason why the prelude starts there should not be due to geographical reasons, but because except for the indigenous people of sub-Saharan Africa, other races will have more or less 1%-4% Neanderthal genes in their bodies, which should be the result of a small amount of reproduction at the beginning. "Erina has apparently looked up the information before.

Although the results of modern archaeology have not found the "curse" and have not revealed the true face of ancient civilizations, some of the most basic information is still available.

"Neanderthals and Homo sapiens weren't the same species at all, were they?"

"That's right, it is said that from the remains of Neanderthals found in modern times, there should be incomplete reproductive isolation between the two......"

"The taste is slightly heavier...... But sometimes hardcore can save the world, thanks to all the hardcore ancestors for helping us buy time! Then in the time that the ancestors have won, hurry up and solve the 'curse'! This time I can't delay it, even in 'All-Blue', nothing happens, and I'm afraid my friends in Africa won't be able to hold out for long......

Recently, you have been listening to Uncle Xinhu about the speed of the deterioration of the incident! I always felt as if he was looking at me inexplicably. ”

Erina glanced at him when she heard this, which made Liu Pleiades also baffled for a while......
