And just like that, the fall qualifiers began. Ai Yue was actually looking forward to this competition, but she actually called to the office by an unexpected person before she could participate in this competition......

"That, Examiner Erina?" Ai Yue looked at the girl who suddenly came over to stop her, puzzled.

"Ai Yue, are you that man's apprentice?" Erina hesitated and asked.

"The man?" Ai Yue wondered, "Is it referring to the Master of the Four Palaces?" …… The master of the fourth palace is the master who temporarily asked him to teach him when he has something. ”

"It's not the fourth house senior...... I'm talking about the man, the naginata. Just saying the name made her tremble.

"Yes, yes." Ai Yue said indifferently, "Examiner Erina, why are you so pale?" Could it be ...... Are you not feeling well? ”

"It's nothing, I'm okay......" Erina smiled reluctantly, "I just don't want ......"

"What don't you want?" Ai Yue saw that Erina was slow to continue, and couldn't help but ask.

Erina didn't seem to hear Ai Yue's words, or maybe she didn't. All her attention was on Ai Yue's back......

Ai Yue also noticed that Erina's gaze was not on hers, and she couldn't help but look back and see a familiar person...... The black suit was worn meticulously, with an indifferent expression, and a pair of dark eyes seemed to be a pool of stagnant water.

"Master, you're back." Ai Yue said respectfully, "Welcome back." ”

"Hmm." Nagi cut thistle glanced at Ai Yue indifferently, "I'll cook for me later." Let me see if you've grown in this time. ”

"Yes, Master." Ai Yue glanced at Erina, who seemed to be scared, and said, "Master, I'm going to prepare for the preliminary round of the fall qualifiers, so ......"

"That kind of competition, it's not worth it...... "Nagi Thistle wrote lightly, "It's better to take some time to think about it if you have time to participate in this kind of competition between weak teams." ”

"But......" Ai Yue hesitated, "Master Sigong said. You want me to be in the top three. Don't disgrace him. ”

"Four houses...... Hmph, actually meddling in this matter......" Nagi thistle's expression did not have any warmth, "There is no need to participate in that kind of sensationalist competition...... I've signed you up for a more meaningful contest, so go ahead and prepare. ”

"Yes. Master. Ai Yue nodded earnestly. Then he glanced at Erina again. He stopped talking. However, her mental activity is very rich...... This is to make her absolutely not happy with her friends, right? Is it intentional or not?

"Erina wouldn't have participated in such a boring competition...... She has the tongue of God, and you have the hand of God. You two can get close to each other...... However, it is still necessary to make friends carefully. Don't mix with the unpopular ones that will make your food mix with cheap flavors. Nagi Ji looked at Ai Yue and said word by word.

"Yes, Master." Ai Yue frowned, but thinking that the friends here could only get along for three years, it seemed that there was no need for her to play against the master who was about to teach her cooking just because she couldn't play with her friends.

Nagi thistle nodded with satisfaction: "Then you can go and prepare." ”

Ai Yue left with a sense of humor, and finally, glanced at Erina...... These two people want to talk alone, right? However, isn't it too undeserved to let Erina be with someone she's so afraid of?

"Erina, let's go with Ai Yue." Nagi Thistle said, "Since you want friends, it's better for the two of you to be together." ”

"Daddy, but ......" Erina glanced at Nagi Thistle, then bowed her head obediently, "Yes, Dad." ”

————I'm the dividing line for lens transitions————

“…… So, Satsuki went to participate in that or what kind of palace competition? Kohei Chuangzhen scratched his head helplessly, "I don't know if it's my delusion, I always feel that Satsuki's master doesn't like me to get along with Satsuki." ”

"Hehe, maybe it's not an illusion or not." Isshiki smiled and said, "Anyway, for the autumn qualifiers, everyone has to work hard...... If you can perform well, then you can see it even if Satsuki is abroad...... You can get into newspapers and magazines. ”

Xingping Chuangzhen went to participate in the competition full of fighting spirit, but although he shined, he never received Ai Yue's condolences. When he lost to Ryo Hayama, Kohei Sojin received a call from his father......

“…… Dad, I lost. Kohei Soma lost his way.

"Huh? Lost? …… Oops, doesn't that mean I lost to Shiomi? Really, it feels terrible wow...... By the way, Chuangzhen, do you know a girl named 'Moon'? Seiichiro Kohei asked suddenly.

"Well, it's my friend...... What happened to Satsuki? Kohei Sojin asked in surprise, "I'm still quite worried about her, and I said that I would participate in the qualifiers together, but as a result, I went abroad halfway...... I don't think her master seems to like me, so I didn't let her participate in the qualifiers...... I'd love to try the food that led to success, but unfortunately...... Hey, hey, Dad, you're listening to me, aren't you? Why did you yawn all of a sudden? …… Ai Yue, well, is she okay? ”

"Hehe, that's good...... That little girl has become a legend in Britain, and the head chef personally chosen by Her Majesty the Queen has made a group of celebrity chefs fall through their glasses. Seiichiro Kohira's playful voice sounded, sounding lazy, "The old classmates were stunned, the little girl made the Buddha jumping over the wall during the final selection, but the queen was moved to tears...... Then, the little girl said, 'I'm learning to cook in Yuanyue,' and at that time, everyone was very excited. But...... But she said that her teacher was 'Nagini Thistle'. ”

"Well, Ai Yue said, I've also met her teacher once, she is a very bad guy who likes to say unpleasant things...... Well, Chef Dojima said that Ai Yue is the heir to the dark culinary world, and he said a lot, and then, well, in the end, I decided to be friends with Ai Yue. Kohei said.

"That kid is very good...... Eating her food gives it a blissful taste and makes you feel like you're soaking in warm water. She's not the same as anyone I know in the dark culinary world, and she's finally living up to her name. When that kid goes back, it will definitely cause a change in the Chinese cuisine world, and every change is accompanied by bloody wind and rain...... Oh, what light and what is dark, as long as it is a halberd, there are only winners and losers. The successful can get everything from the loser, which is the fairness and cruelty of the halberd. Seiichiro Kohei said, "Dad, I'm old and don't plan to go to war, well, since you kid has decided to be Ai Yue's good friend, then be careful not to be fooled by the enemy's side, you know?" …… Somebody wanted your dad and I offered to challenge the kid, but I refused. Strangling genius has never been my style. (To be continued......)
