Chapter 391: The Totsuki Director-General is going to Shengzai's restaurant?

"I know that hearing me say this, you might be very unconvinced, but you should at least acknowledge Yukihira Soma's strength, right?"

Setting aside the other party's annoying personality, Erina did indeed acknowledge Yukihira Soma's strength.

Especially after eating that "Egg-Mixed Rice" of the other party, Erina also tried to replicate it afterwards, but it was clearly a very simple dish, yet she, Erina, couldn't make the taste that her God's Tongue had eaten at that time no matter what.

So although she didn't like Yukihira Soma's personality, for the other party's culinary level, Erina had to admit that he was more excellent than most people at Totsuki Academy.

"Then if I say that Yukihira Soma had been losing to someone else before coming to Totsuki Academy.

And if that person also comes to Totsuki Academy this time and is in the same class as you, what would be your thoughts?"

Nakiri Senzaemon's words really surprised Erina this time, and then she looked at her grandfather with a surprised face: "Is that person much more powerful than that annoying guy on stage?"

Her grandfather just said that her current level is only slightly better than Yukihira Soma's, and if the other person who beat Yukihira Soma is much more powerful than him, then doesn't that mean she, Nakiri Erina, is not as good as the other party!

"According to the old friend who wrote to me, the gap is not small, and the dish the other party used to beat Yukihira Soma at the time was not even his specialty type."

Regarding the other young man, Aunt Wenren Shengzai, mentioned in the letter from Saiba Joichiro, Nakiri Senzaemon was actually extremely curious.

Because he understood Saiba Joichiro's personality, and rarely saw him have such a high evaluation of a young man.

Having opened a shop on the same street for so many years, Saiba Joichiro naturally also knew that the strongest part of the Aunt Wenren family's culinary inheritance was their exquisite knife skills.

In other words, the type of cooking that could allow the Aunt Wenren family to exert their culinary skills to the limit should be sashimi-type cooking.

He had tasted the "Seafood Fried Rice" made by Shengzai before, and it wasn't his full strength.

It was also because he was curious about Saiba Joichiro's son and the young genius mentioned in his letter that Nakiri Senzaemon secretly ran to the entrance exam site, and after the show ended, tasted Yukihira Soma's "Egg-Mixed Rice."

Just one bite of the "Egg-Mixed Rice" that had already turned cold was enough to make him, the Totsuki Director-General, have his "clothes burst open."

Saiba Joichiro didn't mention how excellent his son was in the letter, but only called him slightly talented.

But the cooking produced by this "slightly talented" evaluation was already enough to make him have his "clothes burst open," which also led Nakiri Senzaemon to be extremely curious about the other culinary genius mentioned in Saiba Joichiro's letter.

It was just a pity that the other young man mentioned in Saiba Joichiro's letter didn't come to Totsuki Academy with Yukihira Soma this time.

But Yukihira Soma's strength and Saiba Joichiro's evaluation of him made Nakiri Senzaemon unwilling to give up just like that.

"Erina, do you want to go and see that person who, if he came to Totsuki this time, would be very likely to take away your number one spot?"

That's right, although Aunt Wenren Shengzai didn't come to Totsuki Academy, this didn't mean that he, Nakiri Senzaemon, couldn't go and find the other party.

Although he, a dignified Totsuki Director-General and the number one person in the Japanese culinary world, lowering himself to find a fifteen-year-old young man was a bit demeaning, if that young man was really the culinary genius in Saiba Joichiro's mouth, Nakiri Senzaemon felt it was worth it.

As for why Nakiri Senzaemon would bring Erina when going to see Shengzai, there were two reasons.

The first reason was because Erina possessed the "God's Tongue." When it came to appreciating cooking, perhaps no one had more talent than her.

Another reason was also that Nakiri Senzaemon thought his granddaughter was proud and arrogant. If Aunt Wenren Shengzai was really as excellent as Saiba Joichiro said, frustrating her spirit this time might not be a bad thing for her.

Early the next morning, at the entrance of Totsuki Academy, a pair of young man and woman started bickering as soon as they met.

"Why are you here?"

For the peer culinary genius her grandfather Nakiri Senzaemon mentioned yesterday, Erina was extremely unconvinced, so she gladly accepted her grandfather's invitation and planned to use her "God's Tongue" today to test whether the other party was the real deal.

However, what Erina didn't expect was that she, who was waiting for her grandfather here early in the morning with her secretary Arato Hisako, hadn't seen Nakiri Senzaemon yet, but encountered a guy she hated.

"I also want to ask you, annoying guy, why are you here too!

Didn't that old man say before that he wanted to try Shengzai's cooking? But he didn't say he would bring others!

If I had known you were here too, even if it was a rare opportunity to go back, I might not have led the way!"

"Do you think I would care to eat the cooking of your small restaurant? Do you know how many famous restaurants have invited me to taste their cooking, and I don't even bother to look at them?"

"Is that so? If you are so amazing, then don't follow!"

Looking at Yukihira Soma and Nakiri Erina who started bickering as soon as they met, Arato Hisako, who was standing behind Erina, couldn't help but sigh.

Although Erina-sama's personality was confident and proud, her upbringing was also excellent. Although she was sometimes poisonous because of the "God's Tongue" when eating bad food, she rarely lost control of her emotions.

But ever since meeting this young man named Yukihira Soma, Hisako, as the secretary, didn't know how many times she had seen Erina-sama break her defense.

Clearly, the two hadn't known each other for long, but every time they met, they could argue like enemies.

Arato Hisako knew that persuasion was useless, so she acted as a transparent person on the side, and the situation of the two arguing was only eased until the main person, Nakiri Senzaemon, appeared.

After getting into a high-end car, Nakiri Senzaemon didn't have any airs of a Totsuki Director-General, but instead chatted with Yukihira Soma and asked him how he felt about Totsuki Academy.

And facing Nakiri Senzaemon's inquiry, Yukihira Soma also glanced slightly at Erina, who was sitting opposite him with her arms crossed, and said: "Just like what I said on stage yesterday, Totsuki Academy is just a stepping stone for me.

No matter who the opponent is, I will eventually rise above everyone."

The extremely chuunibyou speech made Nakiri Senzaemon laugh heartily and say that young people should have such fighting spirit.

However, Erina and Hisako on the side frowned when they heard Yukihira Soma's bold words, and Erina even said directly: "Transfer students like you who come halfway can't surpass those internal promoted students who have been tempered in Totsuki Academy for three years of junior high."
