Chapter 104: A Substitution That No One Knows About
Early in the morning of the sixth day of the summer camp, the students packed their luggage and prepared to take the bus back to school according to the school's arrangement.
Before the arrival of the bus arranged by the school, the graduates sent out invitations to their favorite students to find talents for the development of their restaurants.
Among them, Megumi Tazo, who has a strong culinary heart, Soma Kohei, who has basic skills and a passion for cooking, and Ryo Hayama, who has a deep knowledge in the field of spices, have received a lot of attention from the graduates.
Originally, Li Xiang, who showed amazing talent in front of the graduates, should be the talent that these graduates wanted to persuade the most. However, after communicating with Dojima Gin, Lee wanted to use Dojima Gin's mouth to tell these graduates that he would be working for the Nagi family for a long time.
All the graduates understood that Erina Nagikiri was one of the best talents in this class of students, but Erina Nagikiri was the daughter of the Nagikiri family and would certainly not "deign" to work in her own restaurant. Similarly, Li Xiang, who marked himself as a Nagi family, was naturally no longer included in the objects invited by the graduates.
For these graduates, grassroots talents such as Kohei Soma and Megumi Tadoko are the key targets of their "investment".
Li Xiang, who is not surrounded by the graduates, is also happy, and while waiting for the bus, he is next to Erina, while thinking in his head, while writing and drawing in the notebook in his hand.
When they return to school, it will be summer vacation immediately, and after the summer vacation, it will be the autumn selection of Yuanyue.
Autumn Trials,It's a major competition held in the early autumn of the Far Moon School Park every year.。 Students who perform well in their usual performance are selected as contestants to enter the competition based on this criterion. The competition is divided into preliminaries, quarterfinals, semi-finals and finals, of which the preliminaries are also divided into Group A and Group B, from which the four students with the highest scores are selected to enter the quarterfinals.
In the autumn audition, the judges will be composed of VIPs and champions in the culinary industry, and the selection criteria are naturally higher, due to the status of the Yuanyue School in the culinary industry, the whole competition will have media attention and broadcast. If you can make a work that satisfies the judges, the contestants will be favored by the food industry and earn a lot of fame in the outside world.
As for whether to participate in this activity, Li Xiang still can't make up his mind.
"Oh, Emiya, why are you in a daze here? What do you think? ”
When Li Xiang was weighing the pros and cons, Kohei Chuangzhen, who declared that he wanted to inherit his own restaurant and refused the invitation of the graduates, patted Li Xiang's arm.
"Ah, nothing, it's just that I've been a little sleep-deprived lately. Huh? Chuangzhenjun, what about the headscarf that you usually wear on your hands all the time? ”
Kohei always carries a box with knives and a white bandana tied around his wrist. Use it to tie up your hair every time you start cooking.
And now, Kohei Sojin doesn't have this bandana tied around his left wrist.
After listening to Li Xiang's words, Kohei Chuangzhen glanced down at his left hand, and sure enough, as Li Xiang said, the headscarf that had been tied on his hand "disappeared".
"Oh no, I washed it and hung it on the balcony yesterday and forgot about it this morning when I got up to pack my bags."
Kohei Chuangzhen slapped his head, swooped out, and shouted back while running:
"Emiya thanks, I'll go get my headscarf and I'll be back right away."
"Chuangzhenjun, don't worry, there is still a long time before the bus arrives......"
Kohei Chuangzhen, who was running fast, obviously didn't hear Li Xiang's words, and ran away as soon as he slipped away.
"Alas, this guy is really ......" Li Xiang shook his head helplessly, "Erina, did you forget anything in the room?" ”
"Probably not." Erina tilted her head and thought about it.
“emm……”
Now in the original book, that is, at this point in time when the end of the dormitory and returning to school, because Kohei Soma and Erina Nagi forgot something, so the two didn't catch the bus back to school, and finally came back together in the private car of Nagi Kiri's family, and the two had some plots in the car.
Li Xiang, out of the attitude that more things are better than less, reminded Kohei Sojin and Erina. Kohei Soma's headscarf has always been on the surface, so he can point it out directly. But what Erina forgot was a photo of her when she was a child with Kohei Soma's father, the legendary chef Seiichiro Honami.
This group photo has been secretly kept by Erina, and although Li Xiang knows this through real-world memories, his current identity, Emiya, should not be known. Therefore, Li Xiang's way of reminding can only be limited to the extent of telling Erina not to forget things.
"But since I came into this world, a lot of the plot has changed. Maybe because of the butterfly effect, this plot won't happen anymore? ”
Since Li thought of this world, although the general direction of the halberd world has not changed, many details have quietly changed.
Megumi Tasso, who was supposed to be in a group with Kohei Soma, is now in a group with Li Xiang; Due to Li Xiang's mediation during the entrance exam, the relationship between Erina and Kohei Soma is not as bad as in the original book; According to Li Xiang and the analysis of Lori Iriel, the reason why Erina was kidnapped was also caused by Li Xiang's activities that caused Erina's tasting date and itinerary to change.
"Maybe it's the same this time." Li Xiang thought so in his heart.
It's a pity that fate always likes to tease these people who think they can peek into the trajectory of fate, and when the bus finally arrives and everyone is basically on the bus, Erina finally finds out that she forgot the photo.
"Miss Erina, I'd better go get it."
Hearing that Erina had forgotten something, the loyal little secretary Scarlet Sako volunteered.
"No need, Scarlet Yarn, you just sit here, I'll go myself."
Eri Naflix ran out of the car. I rushed into my room in stride, and found the photo with Seiichiro Caiba that I had always treasured in the drawer.
The bus was about to depart, and the time was pressing, Erina didn't dare to waste time, so she put the photo in her backpack and quickly went downstairs in three steps and two steps.
However, even though Erina tried to speed herself up, the bus started just when she came to the parking lot out of breath.
Erina had no choice but to watch as the tail lights of the bus got farther and farther away.
Suddenly, at the right window of the bus that was slowly moving away, a figure suddenly came out, and after half a circle in the air, it fell to the ground.
Erina looked at it and realized that the guy who suddenly jumped out of the window while the car was driving was none other than her titular bodyguard, Emiya.
"What are you doing?"
Erina, who had just reacted to what the other party had done, was almost stunned.
Li Xiang scratched his head, "Miss, you came back too late, the car had already started, and I saw you in the rearview mirror." It's not good for you, a weak woman, to be here alone, so I'll come down to accompany you. ”
"I'm not a weak woman, I'm the heir of the Nagi family, even if I don't catch the car, the hotel will arrange a car for me. You don't need to worry about it. Besides, you don't have to jump out of the speeding bus, do you? ”
"Don't worry, I'm measured."
"You're a ghost!"
"Okay, okay, that's the joke here. Just now, I suddenly remembered the situation when you were tied up when you went out, Miss, and out of precaution, I judged that it would be more advantageous to follow Miss Erina's side closely, so I jumped out of the window when I reacted. Please forgive me for causing you a fright, Miss. ”
