Saiba Shiroichiro's statement is not the mainstream concept in this world.
In this world, chefs are noble.
Excellent chefs are even more valuable. In addition to the significance of food battles, for most chefs, making food is not to satisfy the guests, but to win food battles, to gain glory and status.
This is also true for Erina Kiribiri.
She is obsessed with food, more because of love, not to make others happy.
"Even if the taste of the guests is weird and unique, do you have to cater to them?" Erina Kiribiri couldn't help but retort, "If you just cater to them, you can't make delicious food at all."
"I'm not talking about the path of food, but the path of chefs." Saiba Shiroichiro glanced at Erina and shook his head, "When you have your own restaurant, Miss Kiribiri, you will understand."
He didn't seem to mean to say anything more. He
just looked at Kiribiri, who was hung up, with some regret.
Originally, he wanted to plead with the Demon King after winning the first place.
But now, under the eyes of everyone, this chef who has the most hope of winning the first place has to leave a lonely back and walk towards the door.
Just like he dropped out of Totsuki Academy.
People can only feel sorry. After all, in this world, the rules of food are equally important. There are many excellent chefs who fail because of misunderstanding the requirements of food battle.
Just when Saiba Shiroichiro walked out.
"Stop."
A voice with a completely commanding tone appeared. The one
who spoke was Shen He on the stage. In front of him was the big pot that should have been snatched away by Hei Zhen.
The various parts of the body of a thunder snake bird were mixed together. This pot of food was cooked according to the idea of beef stew. The auxiliary ingredients selected were not many, but it can be said that the taste of the ingredients themselves was fully set off, and unexpectedly, the energy contained in the meat itself was not too much destroyed, making the taste extremely delicious.
In such a short time, he was able to make such a delicacy with completely unfamiliar ingredients.
His strength as the first person in food battle is evident.
"This food is the most delicious one today." Shen He put down his chopsticks and glanced at Saiba Shiroichiro under the stage, "You can stay."
"But..." Saiba Shiroichiro was stunned.
"Why, are you like that idiot above, thinking that I specially came here to hold a food competition for you?" Shen He interrupted him directly.
The scene was silent.
Many people did have this idea. It is better to say that after discovering that this demon king was not so cruel, they focused their attention on this competition.
The world's number one chef, what a great honor and status.
"Heh." Shen He showed a sarcastic smile, "We are just here to travel and enjoy. To you, we are just like guests. If this world can satisfy us, we will not be stingy with the reward, but now it seems that you don't seem to have a good grasp of your position as a chef."
This was not a competition of cooking skills.
It was a competition to see who could satisfy the people of Chaldea more.
It was not until now that the chefs began to realize this problem.
"The last level." Shen He held Altria Alter's hand tightly and stood up, "I still have a princess who is not very happy with the meal. Whoever can satisfy her will be the final winner."
"——!"
Not only many chefs, but also Altria Alter and the people of Chaldea were stunned.
This was not planned.
After all, no one expected that the King of Daimo would turn evil.
"Ahhh! Master, you are too fond of her!" Heizhen had a furious expression on her face, "What's so good about this woman!"
"King, Princess?" Altria Alter's face was suddenly covered with an intoxicated blush.
"No, wait, isn't this acting?" Shen He looked at the King of Daimo like this and was completely stunned, "Don't you share memories with Altria?"
"Please don't say it anymore! Master." Altria Alter took a deep breath, her expression seemed a little complicated and tangled, "I understand, I am very grateful to be trusted like this."
"No, what do you understand..."
Shen He opened his mouth and felt that he had to explain, but Altria Alter took a step forward, looked at the people in the audience and said loudly.
"Although I am not a person who likes to show off, in this situation, I should congratulate you. Everyone, present the works you are proud of."
"......Good!"
After a short delay, the audience suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers.
Although they didn't know what happened.
But Altria Alter's noble figure as the Knight King deeply attracted everyone at this moment.
Let's not talk about the essence of chefs and food.
But if you can conquer such a noble person with food, it is something that a chef can be proud of.
"In this case, I'll give it a try."
Saiba Shiroichiro also felt the long-lost passion. For him, there is nothing more fulfilling than satisfying customers with discerning tastes.
"Wait--" Just as
Erina Ōkiri uttered a word, she found that Saiba Shiroichiro had already trotted to her chef's table.
Stamped her feet.
She knew very well that Altria Alter only liked those junk foods with popular tastes.
Now the remaining chefs on the scene can be said to be all at the top of the world.
So they will definitely be wiped out.
And she couldn't remind them, after all, she didn't want to expose her relationship with the people on the stage.
Grit her teeth.
Erina Ōkiri rolled up the sleeves of her chef's uniform, and she could only rely on her to fight.
Shen He, who was on the stage, could see clearly the actions of his cook.
It was just as he expected.
Shen He couldn't help but reveal a smug smile. The appearance of Altria Alter was like a divine help for his plan.
"Okay, okay, everyone sit down and continue eating."
Jeanne greeted the other servants, then sat next to Shen He as if nothing had happened, lowering her head into her bowl.
Altria Alter also sat down, looking ahead without saying a word.
Shen He, who was added in the middle, always felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Um, Altria Alter..." He tugged at his and the Black King's hands, and found that they did not twitch.
"Change the name." Altria Alter suddenly turned her eyes away, "Although it's the same person, as a servant, the other me is too derelict in my duty. When you say this name, it's as if I'm the one who's derelict in my duty ."
"No way." Shen He felt that the topic had finally shifted to the normal direction, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "As servants, both you and Altria seem to be very competent."
"No, I'm not talking about being a servant." Altria Alter rarely showed a little shyness, "but a maid."
"What..." Shen He almost exclaimed.
Then he remembered that he did say that Altria Alter would wear a maid outfit in front of him.
But that was just a maid outfit.
And for the Black King, it was just changing the crown on his head to a black and white headband, nothing else changed.
"What, is there something wrong?" Altria Alter narrowed her eyes, "Although I have abandoned the identity of the king, I still exist as a knight. Keeping promises is the duty of a knight. Or, are you dissatisfied with my identity as a maid?"
"Rather than being dissatisfied... no, nothing." Shen He wisely did not say the rest of the words.
"Anyway, change the name." Altria Alter seemed to care about this.
"Okay." Shen He thought for a while in his mind, "Why not call me Black Liya?"
"What is this name?" Altria Alter showed a disgusted expression, then sighed, "Forget it, call me Black Knight or Black King, it's just a name."
"No, there is no love at all." Shen He thought for a while, and suddenly clapped his hands, "Just call you Little Al."
"Whatever you want..."
Altria Alter just wanted a different name, but after reciting both sides silently, she suddenly felt that it was wrong.
Why is it like calling a sister or a pet, and adding the word "little".
However, the words had already been spoken, and it was not easy to deny them. She could only squeeze Shen He's palm in anger.
"What's wrong, little Al?" Shen He was a little puzzled.
"Coke, no, beer." When Altria Alter heard this name, her breath stagnated and she quickly looked away. "Although I haven't been in the world for a long time, I also attach great importance to my duties as a maid, so let me accompany you for a drink, how about it?"
"This statement is too far-fetched..." Shen He muttered for a while, and still took out a beer from the system backpack.
Altria Alter actually doesn't like the taste of alcohol very much.
But at this time, she suddenly felt that drinking alcohol was better than drinking Coke.
However, after two pints of beer, her whole face became delicate and charming, full of drunkenness, and then she stretched out her hand and hugged Shen He's neck.
"You, tell me how you got together with Jeanne in the first place."
"Hey, do you want to talk about this?"
Shen He was stunned, and glanced at Jeanne at the side, and happened to meet her eyes.
Jeanne looked away immediately, raised the big bowl to cover her whole face, but the blush on the tip of her ear could still be seen.
"Because, this is too weird, how can a Master and a Servant fall in love?" Altria Alter half-squinted her eyes, "Don't talk about the subordinate relationship, you don't even belong to the same era."
When she asked this question, she could feel her heart beating.
What a shame.
She cursed in her heart, it was obviously Alter, and she should do something else that she didn't dare to do.
"What does it matter?" Shen He was speechless. "You are not the Heroic Spirits summoned by the Holy Grail War, but you have to stay with me all the time."
"Then why is it Jeanne? Is it because she came earlier?"
Altria moved closer, savoring the face of Shen He reflected in her majestic golden eyes.
"So..." Shen He thought along this line of thought and blurted out subconsciously, "Under normal circumstances, she should be thinking about the harem."
Crack!
The chopsticks in Jeanne's hand broke.
The surroundings seemed to become very quiet all of a sudden.
Many servants looked at him quietly.
"Oh?" Altria alter narrowed her eyes slightly, "Did the master also have such an idea?"
"This..."
Shen He realized what he said.
But he is not stupid.
Now looking at Altria alter's face in front of him, which is not drunk at all, he understands everything.
It seems that he has been overdoing it in gaining favor...
However, he had a premonition that this day would come. After all, the relationship between a Servant and a Master is so vague, and he is not the only one who is confused about this relationship.
"Haha, those are just some immature adolescent thoughts." Shen He chuckled a few times, "I'm not that charming, and Jeanne was too kind to let me win her heart."
"Hmm..." Altria Alter just looked at Shen He, and suddenly realized that she forgot to pretend to be drunk. She jumped away and turned her head, "Yeah, that's right, the Master is not a person without self-awareness, and it's too arrogant to think that he can have a harem just by being nice to others. I, we are not as stupid as Jeanne."
"So, I've passed this test." Shen He smiled helplessly, turned around and looked at the others, "Okay, don't look at me like that. You know I'm good to you, so don't always do things that give me a headache. I'm talking about you, Hei Zhen."
"Huh-?" Hei Zhen didn't expect that she would be innocently shot.
"Really." Shen He shook his head and glanced at the audience.
While he was talking, many people below had already finished their works.
After being pulled up by Semiramis' magic, each servant continued to work, which just resolved the weird atmosphere.
Shen He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Shiki had indirectly reminded himself of this problem last time, and the act of pulling himself to go shopping with the sex of the weaving. I didn't expect that after watching so many works, I would pretend not to notice it while doing things like a warm man like central air conditioning. I thought I could continue like this. I really treated others as fools.
But...
Altria is really the type who can increase her favorability by constantly feeding.
Thinking about this in her mind.
At the same time, Altria alter also kept evaluating the food served.
"No! No! Dare to serve such things?"
She basically ate a bite and spit it out, ruthlessly rejecting it with one eye, and her expression did not look like a fake at all.
But in contrast to her disgust, everyone else was eating happily. It
was not until the highly anticipated work of Ichiro Caibo was served that Altria alter frowned, chewed it, swallowed it, and shook her head.
"It's very close, but the taste is still not good."
"How could it be..."
There was a noisy discussion at the scene.
Wouldn't no one be able to pass this?
Suddenly, Altria alter sniffed.
Not only her, but many people at the scene also smelled a special fragrance.
That was -
fried potatoes.
Everyone turned their eyes and discovered that this aroma, which would hardly appear on the recipes of top chefs, came from the kitchen counter of Erina Kiribiri, the owner of the Divine Tongue.
