The fifth person who came out of the kitchen was Shintaro Midorima.
Midorima Shintaro's cuisine has the smallest portions, but it is also the most exquisite, because what he makes is the island country's famous kaiseki cuisine.
The carefully arranged kaiseki meal is placed on the dining table, just like a gorgeous flower. Just looking at it is enough to make people feel happy.
But... no one at the table moved their chopsticks.
Perhaps the psychological shadow left by Aida Reiko and Kitayama Yuzuki was too great, so now when everyone sees the gorgeous food, their first reaction is not to want to eat it, but to be wary.
"Hey? Don't you want to eat? If you don't want to use chopsticks, then I won't be polite."
Seeing everyone stunned for a moment, Takao and Cheng first said a few words in a pretentious manner, then picked up the chopsticks and made a "Who will go to hell if I don't go to hell" posture, stretched out his hand and pinched the kaiseki meal.
.
And at the same moment when he just stretched out his chopsticks, a pair of chopsticks were also stretched out at the same time.
Tsugawa Tomoki smiled strangely at Takao Kazunari and said, "Actually, I'm also quite interested in Kaiseki cuisine. You don't mind if I try it!"
Takao Kazunari narrowed his eyes, and a spark seemed to burst out from his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I don't mind."
The two of them just sat at the dining table and ate one bite after another without saying a word the whole time.
The other people standing around the two people originally wanted to wait for Tsugawa and Takao to say their comments after the poison test. In the end, they took seven or eight mouthfuls, but did not wait for a word.
finally.
Hinata from Jorin, Miyachi from Hidetoku, and Kasuga from Masakuni vaguely noticed something was wrong.
The three of them looked at each other, then simultaneously picked up their chopsticks and stretched them towards the kaiseki meal. The three of them gently picked up a piece of grilled fish and put it into their mouths...
The moment the fish meat entered their mouths, Hinata Junpei, Miyaji Kiyoshi, and Kasuga Ryuhei could clearly see the look of shock in each other's eyes that could not be concealed at all.
“What is this? It’s so delicious!!!!”
The moment you enter your mouth, the texture of the fish is as soft as cotton candy. With a slight sip, the rich soup will splash out along the inside of the fish, filling your entire mouth instantly.
This was the first time they had tasted such cuisine in their lives.
However, although it was so delicious that it almost made people scream, Hinata, Miyaji, and Kasuga gritted their teeth in tacit agreement, and did not make a sound, but silently increased the frequency of stretching out their chopsticks.
At this time.
Even the most stupid person can see the abnormality of the five people.
"You bastards, stop it now."
"Damn it! Are you still human?"
"Let me go~~ What is this! It's so delicious. Midorima, your cooking is so good?"
After everyone reacted, a group of people immediately started fighting for each other. Seeing the others rushing towards them like hungry wolves, Takao and Cheng immediately picked up their chopsticks faster.
However, at this time, Tomoki Tsugawa quietly put down his chopsticks and withdrew from the crowd...
"Hmph! Finally you still have some sense of taste."
Midorima Shintaro snorted coldly, gently pushed up the glasses on the tip of his nose, and quietly raised the corners of his mouth at a crooked angle.
Kaiseki cuisine takes a lot of effort, so the portions are small.
Even though Midorima increased the portion, Takao and Inari ate almost half of it by themselves, so the rest of the food was gone without even taking two bites.
"How can we cultivate? Are you beasts still human?"
Showtoku's Kimura Shinsuke was the slowest and only managed to grab one cherry tomato for the plate. Looking at Takao Kazunari sitting on the chair with a satisfied expression on his face, Kimura Shinsuke simply wanted to strangle him to death.
Does this thing deserve to be called a teammate?
After all the fuss.
Except for Tsutomu Iwamura, Taisuke Otsubo, Teppei Kiyoshi, Taiga Kagami... and a few people with big appetites, the others took a bite out of the dishes of Mitobe, Kagami, and Midorima.
After taking one bite, I almost felt half full.
At this time, Hinata Junpei and Kasuga Ryuhei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway.
At least they no longer have to go to the usual two terrible murderous dishes.
Finally having to accept the reality, Aida Reiko and Kitayama Yuzuki silently returned to the corner to grow mushrooms.
The restaurant gradually returned to calm.
However, vaguely, everyone always felt as if there was something else they had forgotten.
Until the kitchen door was pushed open for the sixth time, Akashi Asuka's voice came from inside:
"Come two people and help me serve the food."
"Coming!"
Tsugawa Tomoki, who had been staying quietly near the dining table, suddenly jumped up and his voice was flattering, like an ancient eunuch.
Heizi also disappeared silently into the crowd...
Two minutes later.
Everyone looked at the four cold dishes, four hot dishes, four main dishes, two soups, and four plates of snacks placed on the dining table, a total of eighteen gorgeous continental dishes. Everyone's expressions gradually fell into confusion.
There were only two people present who didn't seem too surprised. The first one was naturally Akashi Asuka himself, and the second one was Tsugawa Tomoki.
"Oh~ Akashi, you seem to be very interested in cooking today!"
"It's nothing, I just happened to see a lot of ingredients in the kitchen, so I cooked a little more."
Akashi Asuka took off his apron. At this time, Tsukawa Tomoki had already prepared the bowls and chopsticks for him in a sensible manner, and filled a large bowl of rice with her and handed it to her. Then the two of them sat at the dining table familiarly and started eating.
.
"Oh oh oh~~ It's so delicious. This sweet and sour pork is so good. Sure enough, Akashi, your cooking is the best." Tsugawa Tomokori said with satisfaction.
Seeing this scene, the eyelids of a group of people suddenly twitched crazily.
Especially if Masahiro is a player who is also Shutoku, looking at Tsukawa Tomoki's skillful movements, and then thinking about Takao Kazunari's previous performance, how can he not understand what is going on?
The players from the two teams showed an unusually ferocious sneer at Takao Kazunari and Tsugawa Tomoki, and said, "You two bastards, have you already known about this?"
The answers from Takao Kazunari and Tsugawa Tomoki were also very tacit. They pointed decisively at each other and denied: "No, I only know that Akashi (Midorima) is a good cook. His side is none of my business. x2"
Everyone: "o(▼ plate▼メ;)o"
······
After some judgment.
Masahiro and Hidetoku's people have decided to postpone the execution of Takao Kazunari and Tsukawa Tomoki. The most important thing at the moment is to fill their stomachs first.
Unfortunately, because they had eaten too much before, even though eighteen delicacies were placed in front of them, most people only took a few bites and found that there was no room for them in their stomachs.
In the end, these people could only watch Akashi Asuka, Kagami Taiga, Tsugawa Tomoki, Midorima Shintaro... a few people who had not eaten much before and had relatively big appetites enjoying the delicious food.
And this kind of pain also made everyone's murderous intention towards Tsugawa Tomuki and Takao Kazunari become more and more intense.
Vaguely.
Everyone's pupils seemed to be radiating blood.
Although Aida Reiko and Kitayama Yuzuki at the corner of the table were unwilling to give up, their bodies...especially their tongues and stomachs were extremely honest. From the first bite of delicious food, they never stopped.
I don't know how long it took.
Nakatani Hitoshi and Matsumoto Ikken, who finally crawled back from the depths of hell, opened their eyes and saw a large table full of Chinese food in front of them. Their eyes, which had not yet fully awakened, suddenly became even more confused.
"Are we...going to heaven?"
Matsumoto Ikken shook his head and replied: "I don't know, but I always feel like I saw hell just now."
Hearing this, Nakatani Renliang nodded with lingering fear and said: "I feel like I saw it too... Forget it, no matter how much it is, let's eat something first to suppress the taste. I seemed to have eaten a few before.
