"Has it finally appeared? Senior Isshiki's naked apron!"
Aoki Daigo burst out laughing.
Erina Nakiri quickly covered her eyes, her cheeks burning, her heart greatly impacted!
"How truly impolite! As expected of a commoner's gathering, how vulgar!"
She bit her lip, feeling like crying.
"Miss Erina, you'll get used to it."
Tadokoro Megumi said somewhat awkwardly beside her; she was already used to it.
"As for ingredients, I still have some Spanish mackerel left, so I'll make a dish with that."
Isshiki Satoshi said with a smile.
"I still have a little duck meat left, Miss Erina can use it freely!"
Yuki Yoshino raised her hand and said.
"Uh, thank you."
Erina Nakiri thanked her.
She didn't care what ingredients were used.
No matter what ingredients, she could make delicious dishes.
Next, Satou, Erina Nakiri, and Isshiki Satoshi went to the kitchen to prepare their respective dishes.
Satou thought it over and decided to make Hand-pulled Cabbage. Then, he took out some Almond Cabbage from his system space.
His mastery of Hand-pulled Cabbage was already very high: tearing the cabbage into small pieces by hand, then heating oil in a wok, stir-frying chili and garlic until fragrant, then adding the cabbage...
Time passed quickly; half an hour went by.
The three of them successively finished their dishes and then returned to Marui Zenji's room.
"This French Orange Duck Breast, consider it a return for everyone's hospitality."
Erina Nakiri placed a plate of duck breast on the floor and then sat down on her knees, saying.
"Wow, French cuisine?"
"As expected of Miss God Tongue."
Everyone gathered around, each taking a chopstick-full, and in a blink of an eye, the plate of duck breast was gone.
What frustrated Satou was that he didn't manage to grab a single piece, but he had already eaten a lot of Erina's cooking last night, so he wasn't too regretful; after all, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
The crispy roasted duck meat paired with the sweet and sour orange sauce made everyone feel as if they had arrived in an autumn orange grove, with red and yellow oranges hanging from the branches, and the air filled with the fresh scent of oranges.
Tadokoro Megumi, Yuki Yoshino, and the other girls had flushed cheeks and let out soft moans from their noses.
Yukihira Soma was also greatly surprised.
Is this girl really that amazing?
He had initially thought he was quite skilled and had even been a bit reluctant when his father told him to come to this school.
However, he never expected such a person to exist at this school, completely on a different level from the other students!
So, this is the power of the Elite Ten?
A hint of surprise flashed in Isshiki Satoshi's eyes; Erina Nakiri's progress was even faster than he had anticipated!
At this rate, he believed Erina Nakiri would soon be able to make a strong challenge for the top few seats!
"Since Nakiri has presented such a wonderful dish, I cannot fall behind either."
Isshiki Satoshi smiled slightly, placing a dish in front of everyone. "Please enjoy, Sichuan Peppercorn Roasted Spanish Mackerel."
Satou secretly found it amusing. According to the plot, this dish should have been tasted by Yukihira Soma after everyone else had fallen asleep. It seems that after tasting Erina's dish, Isshiki Satoshi couldn't sit still either, could he?
On the plate was a small piece of Spanish Mackerel, accompanied by some cabbage, which looked quite pleasing to the eye.
Everyone began to taste it one after another.
Erina Nakiri also picked up a small piece and put it into her mouth. Then she was enveloped by an unprecedented fresh sensation, as if she had arrived in a spring forest!
"As expected of Senior Isshiki, to be able to create such a delicate dish in such a short amount of time."
She said admiringly. The standard of this dish was slightly higher than her French Orange Duck Breast.
Of course, these were just their casual creations and did not represent their true skill level.
Yukihira Soma also received quite a shock.
Both Isshiki Satoshi's and Erina Nakiri's dishes greatly astonished him. He hadn't expected that there were people more skilled than him among his peers!
Satou was fortunate enough to grab a piece this time and secretly nodded. As expected of Isshiki Satoshi, his strength was still above his own!
After everyone finished tasting, Isshiki Satoshi looked at Satou. "Satou-jun, I'm also looking forward to your God Tongue's cooking."
Everyone else also looked over. Although they didn't think Satou's cooking could compare to the two Elite Ten members, they were still full of curiosity about the transfer student's skill.
Satou smiled slightly and said, "Hand-pulled Cabbage, please enjoy."
This was the first Hand-pulled Cabbage he had made using fantasy ingredients.
The first to taste it was Tadokoro Megumi. She put a large mouthful of Hand-pulled Cabbage into her mouth.
The hot and spicy taste, yet not lacking the crisp sweetness of the cabbage, combined with the crispy and chewy pork belly, this ultimate taste instantly overwhelmed her. The impact she felt was even stronger than the previous two dishes!
"Wow, it's so delicious!"
Tadokoro Megumi covered her face, saying with a look of intoxication.
"So… so amazing! It's even better than the previous two dishes!"
Yukihira Soma was also greatly surprised. He hadn't expected that this transfer student, who was just like him, could make a dish even better than the Elite Ten members!
A hint of surprise also flashed in Isshiki Satoshi's eyes. "The heat, the handling of ingredients… everything is impeccable, especially this cabbage, the taste is extraordinarily good. Such a dish was made by a first-year freshman! As expected of the God Tongue!"
"The taste of this dish is fantastic!"
"Yes, I feel full of energy!"
"We can fight until dawn!"
Affected by the dish's effect, everyone was full of energy, and all fatigue was swept away.
"It's passable. Although it's an improvement over the last one, there are still some flaws."
Erina Nakiri said calmly.
Satou also nodded. Although his dish was the best among the three, the other two were just their casual creations, while his was his strongest dish.
"By the way, Satou-jun, did you cultivate this cabbage yourself? Its taste is exceptionally fresh and sweet, with an almond flavor."
Isshiki Satoshi suddenly asked. The taste of this cabbage left a very deep impression on him.
"Kind of."
Satou nodded.
"Can you give me some?"
Isshiki Satoshi asked with a look of longing.
Everyone else also had eager expressions.
Satou: "…I'm sorry, I only have a little myself."
