"Do you also want to be held in public? If you do, you can take turns later."
"Ah? Then… maybe not." Hearing Hoshino Sora's words, Alice Nakiri and Shiina Shinohiru laughed awkwardly. In private was one thing, but in public, they really didn't have Shiina Mashiro's 'courage.'
Carrying Shiina Mashiro towards the corner of the audience seats, it was fortunate that everyone's attention was currently focused on the match, otherwise, seeing him and Shiina Mashiro in that pose, they would surely be heavily ridiculed.
Of course, not everyone's attention was on the match. Hyun-Ah Poong would occasionally steal glances at Hoshino Sora from the corner of her eye, and then she saw him surrounded by girls.
Seeing this, for some reason, a strange emotion surged in the girl's heart, but she didn't speak. She wanted to focus her attention back on the match, but she couldn't stop herself from glancing over.
Speaking of which, wasn't Hoshino Sora Erina Nai's boyfriend? Why did he have so many girls around him? Could he be a playboy? To make such an intimate koala-hug in public, their relationship must not be simple!
No, the country allows polygamy. What he's doing now is at most a bit flirtatious, but four girlfriends… can Hoshino Sora's small frame handle it?
Her gaze swept over Hoshino Sora's lean physique, finally focusing on a certain spot. At first, she didn't react, but once she did, her face immediately turned crimson, and she averted her eyes.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, what the heck!"
A series of strange images appeared in her mind. Hyun-Ah Poong raised her hand and vigorously shook it in front of her, sweeping away all the distracting thoughts in her mind. Her little face was flushed, and her eyes were a bit moist, clearly having thought of something inappropriate.
"Alright, just sit still and don't move around."
"Ugh, no…"
Feeling Shiina Mashiro twisting on him, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but poke her waist, and Shiina Mashiro immediately trembled as if electrocuted.
"Alright, I know, ugh, don't touch that spot again, it tickles~"
Her most vulnerable waist was attacked, and Shiina Mashiro let out a cute whimper, then curled into a ball, no longer daring to move her body around.
What was she wrong about? She just wanted to experience the feeling of a soft seat turning into an outlet.
"Isn't this good? You're acting like you have ADHD."
Looking at Shiina Mashiro, who was gradually quieting down, Hoshino Sora leaned back in the soft chair, placed his hand on her lower abdomen, and redirected his gaze back to the match.
By this time, half an hour had passed. Eishi Tsukasa had not yet started, while Lin Yidao was quickly coordinating the cooking order and then began cooking in sequence.
Time passed little by little, and soon, an hour had passed. Eishi Tsukasa also began his cooking under the judge's confirmation.
"Hmph, I can't possibly lose!"
Looking at Eishi Tsukasa, who had just started cooking, and then turning to glance at Mo Huang, who was staring at him from the audience, Lin Yidao knew that the other party was preparing to watch him make a fool of himself.
But who was he? Lin Yidao, the young genius chef of the Oriental Academy! How could he possibly lose in the first round of the match!
"Hah!"
He let out a low cry, and a flash of his knife, then the bone-in ingredient in front of him was instantly deboned, turning into pure meat blocks. The bones, along with the remaining small bits of meat, were directly discarded by Lin Yidao.
One couldn't say discarded, after all, it was still an ingredient.
Lin Yidao casually threw it into a stew pot, then added other ingredients to the pot, stirred it with a large ladle, and a rich aroma immediately wafted out.
"Indeed, the first step of a set meal still has to start with cooking the soup, and then it's…"
Lin Yidao muttered to himself, processing the ingredients in front of him as he spoke. In contrast, Eishi Tsukasa next to him appeared much calmer, working methodically.
Before long, wafts of aroma also emanated from his cooking station, contending with Lin Yidao's aroma in the air.
After more than an hour, Lin Yidao's three hours were about to run out, but about ten minutes before they did, he completed his dishes. He proudly served the appetizers, and the feast began!
"First appetizer, cold shredded lemon chicken."
"Delicious!"
"The sweet and sour taste spreads in the mouth, which is the main base. The chicken breast is soft and melts in your mouth after being shredded. A single bite serves as an excellent appetizer!"
"The acidity of lemon juice and vinegar are different, and when mixed together, they give a refreshing feeling. I have to say, although the method is simple, the completion of this dish is very high."
"Second dish…"
Dish after dish was served to the judges' table. The flavor of each dish was impeccable; both the taste and texture were close to perfection.
