Chapter 44: Pre-Game Interlude
"Scarlet, is what you just said true?! I heard you right?! The blonde girl asked excitedly, a little nervous on her face, afraid to hear an answer that was not expected.
"It's true, Erina-sama, that's what Senzaemon-sama asked me to tell you," the light-red-haired girl affirmed.
"Grandpa said that?! So this news is true.,Mother is coming to Yuanyue School Park.,Scarlet sand,Let's go find my mother.,I want to see her.,I have something to say to her..."The blonde beauty is named Erina Nagikiri.,It's the leader of the Nagi Group and the commander of the Yuanyue School Park.,The granddaughter of Nagi Senzaemon.,In the middle department, he has become one of the members of the Ten Masterpieces.,It's the owner of the tongue of the god of extraordinary taste.,Since childhood,,Served as the supervisor of various well-known restaurants.,Her comment has the influence of the future of a restaurant.。 However, even with so many halos, she was very excited to hear the news of her mother's return. It's like a child whose parents are happy to see their parents come home after a few days away.
"Senzaemon-sama said that Mrs. is back to watch the game, and as long as you go to the game, you can see Mrs." The light red-haired girl's name is Shinto Scarlet, and she is proud of her current position as the secretary assistant to Erina Nagikiri. It would make her happy to be able to help Erina Nagikiri; It would make Erina-sama happy and make her feel satisfied; Can make Erina high C... No, I can't think about it anymore, she just needs to help Miss Erina-sama when she needs help.
"Then let's hurry up and go to the game," Erina Nagi said impatiently, feeling like she didn't want to wait for a second.
"We're already on our way, Eri-sama, and there's still time before the game starts, so Madame shouldn't have arrived yet, so don't be in a hurry" Shinto Scarlet tried her best to soothe the other party's excitement.
"Oh yes, it's already on its way... So, can you tell the driver to drive faster? Erina Nagikiri looked like she had just reacted, and then looked at Shinto Scarlet Sako expectantly and asked.
“… Erina-sama, this is the campus, and it will be dangerous to drive too fast" Shinto Scarlet has always stayed by Erina's side, so it is very clear why the other party is so eager to see her mother, but she is more concerned about the safety of the eldest lady, so she can only politely refuse the other party's request.
"I'm sorry, Scarlet, I shouldn't have made such a willful request" Erina Nagi also knew that this was the wrong behavior, but her excitement affected her reason, and now after being reminded by Scarlet Sako, Shinto reacted immediately, and apologized to the other party very honestly.
"It's okay, I can understand Erina-sama's feelings," Shinto Sago comforted with a smile.
"Scarlet, where do you say this game can attract your mother? She also made a special trip back to watch this game, "After calming down, Erina Nagikiri also wants to divert her attention through other things or things, so that she is not so anxious." I put what I was curious about.,In the way of chatting.,Ask the new scarlet sand.。
"I don't know about this, but Madame is the owner of the Tongue of God like Erina-sama, so I think she must be interested in a certain chef's dishes," Shinto Sago said with some certainty.
But when Erina Nagikiri heard her speculation, her eyes lit up and she muttered:
"Dishes that will interest your mother?! What kind of food will it be? ”
Her original intention of learning cooking was to get her mother's attention, hoping to hear her say the word delicious from the bottom of her heart, instead of enduring the pain and lying to her after eating the food she cooked.
Later, when her mother left the family, the reason why she continued to study cooking became that she wanted to save her mother through cooking and be able to bring her home to live happily together.
And now I hear that in today's game, there may be some kind of cuisine that can attract the attention of my mother. So, does it mean that if she can learn to cook this kind of food, she will be able to satisfy her mother's tongue and bring her home?
The more she thought about it, the brighter her eyes became, and the brighter she looked, the more she looked forward to the competition, and she just wanted to fly directly to the competition venue, press the chef of the competition to the cooking table, and let them show her this mysterious dish.
"It's just my guess, it's not necessarily right, Erina-sama, don't expect it too much" Shinto Scarlet Sako reminded her very weakly when she saw Erina Nagikiri's expectant eyes.
But Erina Nagikiri, who has fallen into the fantasy of happiness, has automatically blocked her words.
Then the car fell silent and drove steadily towards the competition venue.
And there are many people who are also heading towards the competition venue, the contestants, the judges of the competition, and some special spectators of the competition.
When Lin Douge came to the competition venue, the scene was already full of students, and the scene was full of people, and various small groups were talking about each other, expressing their opinions and guessing the next game.
Some people think it's a one-sided competition, others wonder which chef is not afraid of death, and dares to challenge three top chefs in a row, and some people have taken out notes and are ready to record the cooking process of the competition for a while, so that they can learn again and again when they go back.
And the judges and chefs, in this atmosphere of great attention, slowly walked into the scene.
And in a VIP audience room at the scene, Erina Nagikiri finally met her mother, Managi Nagiri, who she had been longing to meet. A beanie woman who has been hiding behind the roller blinds, hanging drips, and playing conspiracy.
In Erina's opinion, her mother is thinner than she remembers, and even if she is wearing a kimono, she can see her emaciated body through her exposed arms and face.
"Mother, my lord," Erina Nagikiri cautiously shouted the usual title, afraid of getting the other party's denial.
"Oh, it's Erina" Nagi Nagi, who was hanging a drip, leaned back on the leather sofa, looked at the playing field, and after hearing the shouts behind him, he glanced back, then turned back and replied flatly. It seems that it is not her biological daughter, just an acquaintance with a little impression.
Seeing Nagi Shinaki's reaction, Erina Nagi immediately turned pale and looked lost, but she still mustered up the little courage she had left and said:
"Mother, Erina has been working hard to practice her cooking skills, can you try my cooking later?"
“… The tongue of God is not good, I don't need this kind of thing in my life"
Nagikiri's words pierced Erina's heart like a sharp sword, causing her body to shake and almost fall to the ground because she couldn't stand steadily.
