Chapter 633 - This is unfair!!! (1/2)

The cooking competition had started, Haru who watched both Erina and Eizan had to admit that their level didn't lose to the level of the chef in Toriko's world.

Eizan, who was cooking his dish boiled satsuma jidori (which is a type of high-quality poultry), softened it, then stir-fried the chicken skin until the chicken oil was released.

Using that oil, he started to fry garlic, ginger, and jasmine rice.

*Sizzle!* *Sizzle!*

The aroma permeated the entire banquet hall making everyone gulp.

Erina ignored all the things that had happened and focussed on her dish. She brought a piece of venison meat which was marinated by a special blend before putting it into an oven then she put the bone of the venison into a large pot to make a broth.

The whole cooking process was really smooth and beautiful, wearing her white chef's uniform, her expression was indifferent as if she was a queen in this place.

Ritsu who was watching among the crowd wouldn't expect the cooking match would be this interesting since she felt that she was reading shounen manga.

Haru who watched their match felt quite complicated since he had received a bribe from Eizan. He had a feeling before, but he didn't expect that Eizan would fight against Erina. He could only laugh bitterly in this situation.

On the other side, Alice came to the competition venue, leaning on the wall of the corridor, and a touch of rosy still remained on her pretty white face. Her red eyes stared fiercely at Haru and cursed him.

'This bastard!!!!!'

Because she didn't know how powerful the drug was, she and Erina poured quite a lot of powder into the dish, and also added a side dish that could increase the absorption rate on the body.

That was why she felt the drug immediately even though she only took a bite of curry.

In that luxurious room, Alice, who laid weakly on the carpet, needed to go to the bathroom five times!

Alice, who had recovered, needed a full ten minutes before she could stand up once again slowly, however, until now, her legs were still soft from the drug earlier.

'I need revenge!!!!!'

Alice thought inside her heart.

At this time, the competition was about to end, Eizan finished the cooking first, and came along with the staff and brought five dishes in front of the judges.

”Please enjoy it, Hainanese Chicken Rice.”

Eizan bowed his head slightly and made a humble gesture, but his gloomy expression and the sneer that appeared on the corner of his mouth showed his real thoughts about this competition. He glanced at the five judges, and finally stopped at Haru.

Haru noticed Eizan's gaze and gave him a reassuring smile.

Eizan smiled brightly.

Sitting in the middle, Dojima Gin who served as the main commentator said, ”Let's eat while it is hot.”

Haru scooped a spoonful of rice and chicken into his mouth, chewed it gently, and then it tasted like a firework exploded on the tip of his tongue. He tried another one and this time he put in a sauce.

”The taste is very delicate, but it is also very strong like a calm sea before a storm. The chicken is very tender, juicy, and very meaty, making it impossible to stop eating! It is very delicious!”

Haru thought that Eizan's food was good, but he also knew that this guy could do better if this guy didn't use a bribe. He sighed at Eizan's talent and wondered whether he could put him straight.

But for sure that this food was very good and he cleaned the food on his plate while wiping the sweat on his forehead. He could see that Ritsu was staring at him instantly and could only smile at her.

Then he looked at Erina and felt slightly worried, although, this girl was Tsudure, very hard to get honest, and quite proud, he could see that it was used to hide her weakness. He felt that this girl was quite lonely and it might be hard to accept if she lost the match, however, he wouldn't show his mercy if the food that was cooked by Erina was bad.

”Dirty trick.”

When Eizan passed Erina, she snorted softly.

”Did you notice?”

Eizan smiled and said, ”Let me teach you a lesson today. The essence of cooking is strategy! If you don't have a strategy then you won't be able to win!” The Hainanese Chicken Rice that he had prepared had another purpose, and that was to give the full feeling to the judges.

The rice could give a people feeling of full on the stomach, the chicken was full of fat, and it would make people reluctant to eat more food since they were afraid to get fat.

Eizan deliberately put his dish first so it would lower the expectation of the judge on the next dish.

It was his strategy to win this competition!

”So how can you win against me?”

Eizan opened his arms wide and smiled as if the victory had been grasped into his hands.

”Then, you wait, I'll shatter your arrogance using my food!”

Erina turned and continued with her final preparation.

”Hmm? You haven't given up yet? Haven't you seen the satisfaction on the judge's face?”

”Just wait.”

Erina finished her final preparation, put five dishes on the tray, turned her beautiful buttocks gently, striding confidently, and slowly walking toward the judges' seat.

When Erina passed Eizan, he smelled the fragrance that came from the dish and couldn't help but frown.

”This scent...”

Eizan knew that this missy was a very hard opponent.

Erina put the dishes one by one in front of the judges, but when it was Haru's turn, she stiffened.

In her mind, she recalled the previous conversation, and her body shuddered again because of her embarrassment.

”Nakiri, you don't want me to taste your food?”

Looking at Erina's shy and embarrassing expression, Haru found that it was very interesting, and he couldn't help but tease her.

”Hmph!”

Erina snorted angrily, her purple-pinkish eyes stared directly, and then she put the porcelain plate in front of Haru, but it might be because she put too much force, that the plate was broken when it touched the table.

*Shatter!*

”.....”

A deadly silence filled the entire banquet hall.

Everyone stopped talking, only a tickling sound coming from the sauce dripped from the table could be heard.

*Drip!* *Drip!* *Drip!*

In the room, watching the scene through the big screen, Senzaemon stood up, and Alice who was leaning in the corridor couldn't help but cover her mouth.
