Frying pans, snow frying pans, and cooking utensils for tamagoyaki are discarded on the stove at will. The sink is littered with grease and food scraps, and the dripping sound of water dripping from the faucet reverberates through the quiet kitchen.

The girl, with her silky aqua blue hair and two braided braids, sat slumped on the floor with her back against the cabinet door. Beside him, a red-haired boy with a white cloth belt wrapped around his head supported his knees with his hands, panting violently, the sweat that continued to gush from his face left along the resolute and stubborn outline, and gathered into sweat dripping onto the ground at his chin.

"Tian So, are you okay?" Kohei Sojin raised his wrist with difficulty to wipe the sweat drops on his chin, gasped and asked the girl sitting next to him with concern, "Can you still stand up and continue the cooking training?" After so many days of snow closures, we don't have much time left. ”

The blue-haired girl snorted lightly, raised her head slightly, and her delicate and pretty face was full of exhaustion, but her beautiful eyes were still full of fighting spirit. Megumi Tasho endured the exhaustion that hit like a landslide and tsunami, and showed a hint of a smile, "It's okay, Chuangzhen-kun." I'm not tired, at least not now! The time for the start of the Wing Halberd is getting closer and closer, and my companions are still waiting for me to save them. ”

With her slender arms clinging to the table top, Megumi Tado's teeth clenched and used the last of her strength to stand up with her delicate body. Clapped his cheeks with both hands, and said firmly, "I can continue, Chuangzhenjun, let's start!" ”

"It's a good momentum." Sitting at the main seat of the round table not far away, Nagi Senzaemon, who acted as a judge, praised Megumi Taskoko's stubborn head who refused to admit defeat. Raising his hand, he pointed to the other tables and said with a smile, "Although you still have the strength to continue cooking, unfortunately there are no tasters to provide you with reviews." ”

The two of them looked in the direction pointed by Nagi Senzaemon, and the last attendant on the other tables on the dining car finally collapsed, Jiang Yunfeng hurriedly stepped forward to help the female flight attendant to the rest area on the side, and stayed with her companions who had fallen to the ground before.

"Are you alright? If you can't eat it, don't force yourself, look at you... Alas~~~" Jiang Yunfeng fed the last female flight attendant a pill given by the doctor, and couldn't help but reproach.

The female flight attendant took a sip of warm water and swallowed the food tablets in her mouth together with the food, and Zou Zuo's brows relaxed. With a satisfied smile on her face, she replied, "The food is so delicious that you can't stop it." I knew I couldn't eat anymore, but I just couldn't stop my hands. ”

"Okay, okay~ Have a good rest and slowly digest these delicious foods." Jiang Yunfeng got up and counted the number of attendants who were eating, walked over to Erina Nagikiri and said, "Miss, except for the conductor who is still in the cab and some people who can't leave their posts, the other crew members are here." ”

Turning around and looking around, Erina Nagikiri nodded slightly, and said, "Since there are no tasters to eliminate the dishes reviewed by the judges, today's special training will end here, and the time is not too early, the train will arrive in the northernmost port city of Hokkaido tomorrow morning - Yanai." Then transfer to a ferry to Rebun Island, the decisive battle. After taking a shower, everyone quickly rests and recuperates, and goes to face the central food agency in the best condition! ”

。。。

Night.

As the train headed north, snowflakes began to fall in the sky again. Lying on his bunk, Jiang Yunfeng, who couldn't sleep, sat up, grabbed his hair angrily, and shouted softly, "Chuangzhen, are you asleep?" True? Chuangzhen!? ~" After shouting a few times in a row and not hearing a response, Jiang Yunfeng stretched out his head to look at the lower bunk and found that Xingping Chuangzhen, who had been sleeping in the lower bunk, was gone.

Jiang Yunfeng jumped out of bed, reached out to Xingping Chuangzhen's quilt to feel the temperature, and found that it was already cold. It seems that Kohei Sojin has been away for a long time, and he has been in a daze, and he is in a half-asleep state without noticing it. I couldn't help but smile, put on my shoes, and left the double room.

On the sofa at the corner of the corridor, I saw the back of Kohei Soma sitting cross-legged from a distance. Jiang Yunfeng quietly walked over, sat down lightly and teased, "What? Kohei Soma also has times when he has insomnia because of nervousness? The sudden voice of the voice startled Kohei Chuangzhen, who was deep in thought, and when he looked back, he was relieved to find that it was Jiang Yunfeng.

"How do you walk without a sound! And suddenly appeared to someone else talking, I was almost scared to death by you just now! Xingping Chuangzhen slapped his chest contrivedly, and complained angrily to Jiang Yunfeng.

"Ahaha~ Walking without a sound? I learned how to mute my feet with the watermelon girl. Jiang Yunfeng relaxed, letting his body fall backwards into the soft sofa backrest. Turning his head to look out the window at the snowy night sky, he said calmly, "Don't talk about this boring nonsense, and tomorrow will be able to fulfill the wish you have been looking forward to since you entered the far moon." How about a showdown with the current top ten~ What are your thoughts and thoughts? ”

Kohei Chuangzhen pressed his left hand, which couldn't help but tremble because he didn't know whether it was excitement or nervousness, and his tone was confused and confused, "I never cared about winning or losing a duel before, even if it was to send a halberd to Shijie. But this time... I was so scared, really scared that I was going to lose. This kind of panic feeling of not having confidence in yourself is the first time, Ah Feng, you are well-informed, can you tell me why? ”

"Responsibility! Because you're no longer alone, you're on a mission to save your fellow Polestar Fellows and the rest of your friends. Meat Charm, Ryoko, Yuhime, Marui They are still waiting for you to save. Thinking about these things can be stressful as long as you are a normal person. ”

"Are you nervous?"

"Nervous, nervous, of course. If I wasn't nervous, I wouldn't be here with you, a stinky man, and I would have gone on a date with Zhou Gong's granddaughter a long time ago. Jiang Yunfeng said and glanced at the time displayed by the wall clock in the carriage, it was already three o'clock in the morning. Hurriedly jumped up and patted Kohei Soma's head casually, "It's three o'clock, go back to sleep." If you doze off at the team halberd tomorrow because you don't have enough rest, you're going to lose. ”

"I hate it when people hit me on the head, you stop me!!" Kohei Chuangzhen got up angrily and vowed to fight back. How could Jiang Yunfeng let him get his wish, hugging his head and running away, "Want revenge?" Then come and chase me, if you catch up with me~ I'll let you ~ hey~hey~hey~"

"Hey, hey, hey, you're big! I'm going to shove you down the toilet and flush down the drain!! You filthy and filthy guy!! "All the way from the corridor to the double room for two, I forgot about my nervousness and fell asleep when I was tired.

At dawn, Erina Nagikiri's special train carried the last living force of the 'rebels' and arrived at the port town of Yanei, which was only a sea away from the decisive battle, Rebun Island.
