"I see. Then I'll be in your care for the upcoming period, Erina-san, Hisako-san."
Although Yuuki didn't know why Senzaemon and Mana Nakiri made this decision, he wouldn't lose anything from it. Having two beauties with him wasn't bad either.
And honestly, he did need assistants...
Although his Culinary skills were very strong, and all other aspects were very strong as well, that didn't an he liked doing those tedious tasks.
Putting aside Erina Nakiri for the mont, Hisako Arato was the perfect assistant. Having handled all sorts of chores for Erina for years, Hisako was basically a professional in this aspect.
Since the Nakiri family was sending them over, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
"We should be the ones saying that—"
Although Erina Nakiri was an arrogant person, she wasn't delusional. She was very clear about the gap between their skills and Yuuki's.
While the WGO was technically her mother's territory, she hadn't seen her mother yet, and relying on connections all the ti wasn't ideal, so she still had to count on Yuuki for this next little while.
....
After speaking, the three boarded the private jet.
Of course, the absurdly wealthy Nakiri family wouldn't take a normal plane.
They had a private jet.
Yuuki naturally enjoyed the private jet treatnt as well. It had to be said, these rich people really did know how to enjoy life.
On the plane, Erina and Hisako discussed many things about cuisine with Yuuki. Mainly, because they weren't very familiar, they couldn't really talk about other things, so the conversation could only revolve around cooking.
And Yuuki's knowledge of Culinary matters was naturally not sothing Erina and Hisako could match; they were still too young.
So, after so discussion—
—Their conversation shifted from an equal exchange into sothing more like students asking a teacher questions.
It could only be said that the difference in their Culinary skills was simply too wide. What's more, Yuuki also possessed nurous Secret Techniques—his knowledge reserve in this aspect wasn't even comparable to those so-called veteran Chefs.
So, when Yuuki discussed Culinary matters with others, they would be led by Yuuki, eventually turning into a Q&A session.
"You two—although I know you still have many questions, we're almost there. So, please keep any further questions for later. After all, we'll be working together for the next while!" Yuuki said with a smile.
Hearing this, Erina Nakiri and Hisako Arato then realized they were almost at their destination—although such a long flight should have taken quite a bit of ti, for these two, it seed like they had blinked and arrived.
It could only be said that when one was completely absorbed in sothing, their mind would be fully imrsed in it, causing them to lose track of ti's passage.
Just now, they were in such a state. Because many of their inner questions had been answered, ti passed very quickly.
"Our apologies, Yuuki. We've taken so much of your ti!"
After coming back to their senses, the two quickly apologized.
This whole ti, they had been the ones asking questions, and Yuuki had been the one providing answers—Yuuki wasn't a school teacher; he had no obligation to answer their inquiries.
Yet Yuuki had unreservedly helped them answer questions, so they were very grateful and also apologized.
"There's no need to be so polite. At Polar Star, I often help the others, so I'm used to it—" Yuuki said with a smile.
The people he dealt with at Polar Star weren't comparable to these two, so naturally, the questions he answered were more nurous. He didn't feel it was annoying at all.
Actually, when answering questions for others, Yuuki himself was also thinking, and his Food Honor was continuously improving. For Yuuki, helping others was also a form of accelerating his own growth.
However, Yuuki usually only helped his own people and wouldn't teach anything to outsiders.
What he did now was rely answering Erina and Hisako's questions, which was very different from teaching the Polar Star residents.
....
Since Yuuki said so, the two didn't say anything more but kept it in mind. After the plane landed, the group took a car to WGO headquarters.
Arriving at WGO, Yuuki and the other two t Anne, who was waiting there.
Anne was Mana Nakiri's secretary. Her purpose for being here was very simple: to take them to et Mana.
After all, this entire matter was arranged by Mana Nakiri. And Mana was now very interested in Yuuki's cooking, wanting to know whether Yuuki's dishes were truly as amazing as her father claid.
This could also be considered a test—to test whether Yuuki could handle the position of Third Class Officer and to test whether Yuuki was really her hope.
....
"So there's going to be ANOTHER test?!" Erina Nakiri and Hisako Arato were a bit taken aback hearing Anne's explanation.
"Isn't that normal? Yuuki's age is a factor, and plus, Yuuki's appointnt is a special case. Although this Third Class Officer position is only temporary, during his tenure, he holds the sa authority as other Third Class Officers."
"Such an exceptional situation naturally creates dissatisfaction among other officers. To prevent further problems and reduce so of the burden for the Special Class Officer, this assessnt is unavoidable." Anne gave a simple explanation.
In Yuuki's ears, this explanation was part truth, part PR.
The truthful part was probably about smoothing things over for him. His sudden appointnt would not sit well with those who had been here for years.
So there were definitely so who would be looking for trouble. And Yuuki was practically certain that even if he proved his Culinary skill, there would still be those with objections.
Human nature was like this.
Yuuki wasn't a naive student, so he naturally understood the stakes.
As for alleviating pressure for Mana Nakiri—Yuuki didn't think Mana Nakiri was under any pressure. She was WGO's sole Special Class Officer, holding imnse power.
She was the one who directly had the Midnight Chefs included in the BLUE competition in the original story.
Mana Nakiri at that ti didn't care about any pressure. Now, with Yuuki as a re temporary Third Class Officer, if there were any pressure on her, it wasn't worth even discussing.
Yuuki suspected that Anne was saying this to make him have a favorable impression of Mana Nakiri.
After all, the God's Tongue problem required Yuuki's help. So, making a good impression on him was quite necessary.
....
Soon, led by Anne, they arrived at a kitchen. Several people were already present. The person sitting at the head of the table was Mana Nakiri.
It had to be said, Mana Nakiri was truly worthy of being Erina's mother. Even though her body was already frail, she was still a striking beauty.
With just one glance, Yuuki understood Mana's physical condition. If this continued, her body probably wouldn't hold up for more than a few years before completely collapsing.
At that point, wanting to continue living, she'd have to rely entirely on life support in the ICU.
"Welco! Yuuki-kun, I've already heard quite a lot about you from Father. I won't waste ti on pleasantries. Anne explained the situation, right? The choice is yours—" Mana Nakiri said, cutting straight to the chase after a brief greeting.
This test required Yuuki's consent. If Yuuki didn't agree, then there would be no need for an assessnt, and Yuuki could just leave.
Besides Mana, a Special Class Officer, there were also a few First Class Officers here. They were also present to witness Yuuki's Culinary skills.
As for whether anyone was unhappy with Mana's arrangent—there certainly were, but there was nothing they could do. Mana Nakiri held the highest authority.
"Ms. Anne already told . I'll take this assessnt—"
Yuuki agreed.
Since Mana Nakiri wanted to see his skills, it was a good opportunity for Yuuki to also see if his current cooking could negate Mana's God's Tongue.
This ti, Yuuki was especially ticulous. He knew very well that Mana Nakiri's God's Tongue was fully developed, not sothing Erina's could compare to. So, to make her God's Tongue malfunction, he had to use the skills he was best at.
Yuuki's best weapon was undoubtedly Inferno. After all, Inferno would grow stronger as he did.
So, this ti, the dish Yuuki decided to make was—Seven-Country Unification Noodle Dish!
For this dish, every aspect involved Yuuki's greatest strengths.
And Yuuki's Culinary Heart was also extrely well-suited for this dish. If even this couldn't handle Mana's God's Tongue, then Yuuki could only try again later when his skills were even higher.
He estimated Mana Nakiri also didn't hold much hope for it now, probably just wanting to assess his skills—
—As for Erina Nakiri, she looked at her mother with a complex expression and remained silent. What she wanted to say wasn't suitable for this place.
Mana Nakiri only glanced at Erina out of the corner of her eye. She hadn't seen Erina in so many years. While she had seen photos and videos of her daughter growing up, seeing her in person now—it was impossible to be completely unmoved.
With a single glance, Yuuki noticed Mana Nakiri's heart rate increasing when she looked at Erina.
Clearly, it wasn't that she didn't care about her daughter.
Yuuki wasn't planning on getting involved in other people's family matters. Whether this mother and daughter reconciled had nothing to do with him.
He was only responsible for fixing the God's Tongue—
—As for Hisako Arato on the side, she was looking at her Young lady with concern. She knew Erina's current ntal state better than anyone.
However, she also couldn't say much and could only watch silently. The three were currently in a strange atmosphere, sothing only they themselves could feel.
Because everyone else's attention was on Yuuki.
....
At WGO, whatever ingredients Yuuki needed, he just had to select them from the ingredient database, and soone would deliver them.
Yuuki had already decided on his dish and quickly completed his selection.
"If I'm not mistaken, we planned to inform him about the assessnt only after he arrived. Has he already decided on what to make in such a short ti?!"
One First Class Officer said.
Although there wasn't a specific the for this assessnt, Yuuki's almost instant decision was still sowhat surprising.
"That's right. I told him about it only after we arrived here. Clearly, he is very confident." Anne replied.
Since Yuuki's chef level assessnts after Interdiate had all been handled by Tōtsuki, bypassing the normal WGO procedures—
—they weren't very clear about Yuuki's true level. Of course, everyone also knew that such things couldn't be hidden forever; no one would be stupid enough to go through such lengths just for a deception.
But they truly couldn't connect Yuuki's Culinary skills with his age.
Compared to Yuuki, they, who were once called geniuses, seed completely diocre.
Their common sense also told them that Yuuki's case was an anomaly.
So, they still held so doubts.
"No need to discuss it for now, everyone. We'll all know once he finishes his dish!" Mana Nakiri said with a smile.
There was no need for discussion.
The person was already here.
In an hour or two, or even just a few dozen minutes, Yuuki's skill would be revealed to them.
Mana Nakiri having said this, the others didn't say anything more. At this mont, Yuuki had already begun his preparations.
....
The main ingredients for this dish totaled seven: flour, flounder, sea bream, bamboo shoots, Cabbage, wood ear mushrooms, cellophane noodles, and beef.
Besides these, there were also other seasonings.
After Yuuki took out his Seven-Star Knives, the appearance of these knives once again drew everyone's attention.
Knives with such unique shapes and in such numbers appearing anywhere would definitely turn heads. This set of kitchen knives—it was sothing most top chefs could only dream of having...
