Food Wars: Taste Buds Reversal

049. Night Talk】

"Shiraki-kun, aren't you going to sleep yet?"

When Tansho Kei walked into the kitchen, she saw Shiraki looking at a potato in front of him with great interest, as if he was going to use this potato to try out his knife skills again.

"Hmm? Xiaohui, you are here too."

Hearing the voice coming from beside him, Bai Mu turned around and saw Tian Suohui in pajamas standing next to the refrigerator looking at him.

"Yes, yes, I have been outside since Shiraki-kun came in. I didn't expect that Shiraki-kun is still practicing so late, even though he is already so strong."Tanokoro looked at Shiraki a little embarrassedly,"Everyone in Polar Star Dormitory is also working hard to improve their strength, I have to work hard to catch up with everyone's pace."

"You don't have to put so much pressure on yourself."Bai Mu suddenly reached out and patted Tanaka Hui's head. Whatever this girl thinks in her heart will show on her face. It's really easy to understand.

Although Tanaka Hui's grades in various subjects are all low, it can be said that she is the last in Totsuki Academy, but her potential is very important. The tenth place in the next ten outstanding students cannot be maintained without a little strength.

"Ah...thank you, thank you……"

Suddenly, Shiraki patted her. Tanaka Hui didn't react at first. When she reacted, her face turned red and she stammered and said thank you to Shiraki.

"Are you thinking now that even if I tell you this, you will still feel nervous when you think about the school starting tomorrow?" Bai Mu suddenly asked

"Eh? How do you know...Ah, no, I mean……"

Tansho Kei looked at Shiraki in disbelief, and after seeing the other party's serious eyes, her face turned redder, and she quickly lowered her head and stammered in a low voice

"Yes, I'm sorry. Actually, I was very nervous when I thought about the classes starting tomorrow. I couldn't sleep at all. Um, Baimu, you are a transfer student and you may not know that my grades have always been not very good. During the training, I was always clumsy and caused trouble to everyone. And my classmates……"

"Well, you are being too self-deprecating."Before Tadokoro was about to tell her all about her family background, Shiraki put his hand on her head and interrupted her. He could see that Tadokoro was really nervous. She might have to go to the opening ceremony tomorrow with dark circles under her eyes. If she continued like this, she might really have to get a passing grade in tomorrow's course.

"Since you can't sleep, do you want to eat something?"

Looking at Tanado Hui who was looking down and seemed to be in a state of self-confusion, Shiraki suddenly said

"Eh?" Tanaka Megumi immediately raised her head in confusion. The celebration had just ended, and Yuuki and Aoki Daigo were all full, but Tanaka Megumi was too nervous to eat much. When she heard Shiraki's words and thought of the food Shiraki showed her a month ago, Tanaka Megumi swallowed her saliva somewhat unconvincingly.

"Can I?"

"Of course, you wait here for a moment, it will be ready soon."

After saying this, Shiraki had already walked to the cooking table, found the leftover rice from tonight's dinner in the rice cooker, poured it into the pot, and then added a little water.

Rather than cooking out of concern for his roommate, it would be more accurate to say that Shiraki was just eager to try out his newly acquired knife skills. After turning on the fire, Shiraki threw an unpeeled potato into the air, and his right hand holding the kitchen knife quickly gestured in the air. After a burst of swords and shadows, a peeled potato fell into his hand and was caught steadily by him.

Tanaka Kei stared blankly at Shiraki's concentration on cooking. For a moment, even she herself did not notice that she was already fascinated. It is said that men who focus on work are the most handsome, not to mention that Shiraki was cooking for her at this time.

At first, Tanaka Hui was still attracted by Shiraki's exquisite knife skills. She sighed in her heart that he was worthy of being called Shiraki-kun, and his control over ingredients had reached the level of perfection. But later, her attention was gradually attracted by Shiraki's constantly busy figure. She could no longer see those minor ingredients, and her whole attention was focused on Shiraki's focused face.

Plop, plop - it was the first time for Tanaka Hui to be in the same room with a boy like this at this time of night. The Polar Star Dormitory was so quiet at night that even the crows' calls could not be heard clearly. It was in such a quiet environment that Tanaka Hui could feel that she was extremely nervous now, and even the sound of every heartbeat could be heard clearly.

Because of this, she perfectly missed the"wonderful" cooking process of Shiraki.
