Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Hey, hey, I'm already here, don't you want to stop pretending?"

Liu Maoxing's voice sounded in Erina's heart, but Erina did not hear it. At this time, Erina was immersed in the "maintenance of the dedicated channel" both physically and mentally.

And Liu Maoxing has already used the "special channel" to let the "sun" kitchen heart enter Erina's heart.

At the same time, after the heart of the cook is released, the mind and heart of the cook are still connected. That's why Liu Maoxing's voice resounded in Erina's heart.

At this moment, in Erina's heart, the "Holy Maiden" was still kneeling in the center of the altar, with her eyes closed, her arms folded in front of her chest, and she looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle...

But the difference is that right now, right in front of the "Holy Maiden", a scorching sun... no, maybe a big fireball is floating in front of her!

However, the "big fireball" continuously absorbed the power of the real sun, and the saint could not expel him.

Sure enough, just as Liu Maoxing expected, the power of the "Holy Maiden" is not enough to expel the heart of the "Sun" who is continuously ingesting the "Source of the Sun".

"No, even if you pretend to be normal now, it's already too late!"

"Do you think I'll just go out like this?"

"How about I tell you a bad joke? A bird flew over a cornfield, and the cornfield caught fire. Why did the bird die?"

Liu Maoxing kept making noises beside her, the saint finally couldn't take it anymore, she opened her eyes with disgust and said, "No one will like a man who keeps stalking beautiful girls!"

"...It's also the first time I've heard of someone calling herself a 'beautiful girl'!" Liu Maoxing replied.

"Get out if you have nothing to do! If you disturb the saint's prayer, you will be punished by God!" The saint said impatiently.

"Huh? Didn't she call herself a 'beautiful girl' just now? Why did she become a 'saint' again?"

"'Saint' is a profession, and 'beautiful girl' is a personal attribute." The saint raised her chin slightly.

"..."

Liu Maoxing was choked for a long time without saying a word, after all, there are very few people who feel so good personally!

"Hey, what's your name?" Liu Maoxing asked.

"Why did the saint tell you? Who are you?" the saint asked back.

"Just pretend that I'm here to check the temporary residence permit! After all, you've 'lived' here quietly, and you've already caused a lot of trouble to the person involved!" Liu Maoxing gave himself an accurate definition.

"You are the only ones who are troubled, right? The host doesn't seem to have such emotions," said the saint.

At this time, Liu Maoxing also realized that Erina was indeed very calm before. The Erina he knew should not be such a bold person!

Thinking of this, Liu Maoxing couldn't help but become serious: "You couldn't be the one who hinted at Erina?"

"No, now I'm just her heart. She believes in me and belongs to instinct. If this is a psychological hint, it is also a rule of this universe, a psychological hint to her." The saint said.

At this time, the saint had cherished time like gold, and assumed a prayer posture with her hands folded in front of her chest, and no longer looked at Liu Maoxing.

"At least I saved you, right? And... You've been parasitized by the 'demon' for so long, so it's not too late, right?"

"It is precisely because I wasted too much time before that I have to seize some opportunities to make amends! Give me a little positive energy, okay? Is your life creed 'breaking the cans and smashing'?"

"I'm so negative, I'm really sorry!" If Liu Maoxing didn't appear in the form of "sun" now, his expression would be wonderful.

"Okay, you can go back and review yourself, you don't need to stay here to confess... don't worry about the rest, I will occasionally help my host and fulfill some 'culinary heart' obligations, and I don't have the habit of peeping , For example, the way you two are opening the 'special channel' now, I didn't watch it at all, not at all!"

"When you say that, I'm more concerned..."

Liu Maoxing still stayed on top of the "Holy Maiden". After all, it was impossible for Liu Maoxing to remove her from the "dangerous" list just because of the other party's words, and she was in Erina's heart. Erina was controlled by the "devil" before. Lessons from the past are still...

However, the other party didn't want to reveal anything, which made Liu Maoxing feel a little troublesome.

Although the reason is unclear, this "Saint" is obviously Erina's heart, and it is impossible for Liu Maoxing to really hurt her!

"Hey, stupid human beings! Always spend some extra thoughts on guarding against and doubting other individuals." The saint suddenly sighed.

For the other party's tone of the second disease, Liu Maoxing is not surprised at all now.

"At least give me a reason to believe in you!" Liu Maoxing said.

"Huh? Among your three basic essences, is there one that has not been awakened? Is it... the essence of spices?" The saint suddenly said.

"That's right...but don't change the subject!"

The saint sighed, opened her eyes again, stood up, and shook her hands...

Liu Maoxing didn't know either, she obviously didn't like the way she prayed, why did she keep doing this gesture? Does it really have any practical significance? A certain way of cultivation, or something else?

"Then I'll do you a favor and express your sincerity! After all, your physique is such that you can't comprehend the essence by yourself..."

"how do you know……"

Liu Maoxing was about to ask the other party, how did she see so much, even the first "fire of inspiration" that she could not voluntarily produce?

But immediately, I felt the tip of my tongue was hot, and a fire was burning in my cooking system!

What Liu Maoxing originally thought was to borrow the fire of "Spice Essence" from Erina. After all, after the two people's "God's Tongue" came into contact, they could exchange information.

But the premise is that Erina must "open a dedicated channel" with herself while applying spices, otherwise it will be useless without corresponding information...

Otherwise, as it is now, Erina is not using the skills related to "spices", and it will not be able to "borrow fire".

But let Erina taste various spices while performing some kind of activity of "opening a dedicated channel"... What kind of play is this? Liu Maoxing felt that if he made such a request, Erina would probably turn black and pull out a kitchen knife!

However, at this moment, the "Holy Maiden" did not know what to do, and suddenly, from Erina's "God's Tongue", the message of "Spice Essence" came over!

Although most of Liu Maoxing's consciousness is now in the heart of the chef, he can still feel the changes in his body...

Originally, he had already reached the standard of fully awakening the essence, but now that the fuse was ignited by a big fire, Liu Maoxing quickly mastered the complete "spice essence"!

At this moment, Liu Maoxing finally mastered the three basic essences of knife skills, pyrotechnics, spices, and cooking.

At the same time, he didn't notice that the image of "Holy Maiden" appeared in Erina's heart, and his face turned red at this moment...

Otherwise, it should be possible to guess that she connected her senses with Erina, and then borrowed the dedicated channel between Erina and Liu Maoxing to send Liu Maoxing the message of "Spice Essence" as a "fire source" !

After a while, Liu Maoxing, who got used to it, said to the "Holy Maiden" in Erina's heart: "Thank you... How do you know that I can't awaken the essence by myself? You seem to know why?"

The saint shook her head, and Liu Maoxing couldn't figure out if she said "I don't know" or "I don't want to say".

"However, no matter what kind of skill you have in the future, as long as you have mastered it enough to wake up your spirit, you can come to me."

"Is it really possible? That's really helpful!" Liu Maoxing said a little excitedly.

"Of course, you have to find a way to build the 'special channel' yourself!"

Liu Maoxing didn't know why, he felt that the "Saint" seemed a little angry?

He still doesn't know that in order to convey "related information", the "Holy Maiden" has just connected with Erina's senses, and at that moment it is equivalent to being with Liu Maoxing...

But at this moment, Liu Maoxing suddenly realized a more important thing!

"Wait! You said 'whatever skill'... Could it be that you..."

Before Liu Maoxing could finish speaking, the "Holy Maiden" once again put on a prayer pose, and at the same time said impatiently: "No one will like a man who has been stalking beautiful girls!"

At the same time, the altar was once again full of golden lights. This time, Liu Maoxing's "Sun" chef couldn't resist being expelled?

"Wait...I haven't..."

Liu Maoxing was completely unable to resist this kind of expulsion at this time, but at the last moment of leaving Erina's heart, the voice of "Holy Maiden" sounded in Liu Maoxing's ear again: "The name is just a name, before I get tired of using this name, you You can call me 'Ling'er'..."

In the next second, Liu Maoxing's kitchen heart was "push" out, and his consciousness completely returned to his body.

The wonderful feeling of "building a dedicated channel" came over immediately, but Liu Maoxing didn't linger on it for too long, because he already knew why the "Sun" kitchen heart would be expelled...

Because although the afterglow is still there, it is no longer possible to see the sun directly!

From around 3:30, Liu Maoxing dragged Erina into the room, and an hour had passed before he knew it?

It seems that the process of awakening the "Spice Essence" is not just a "moment" as it seems...

Previously, most of Liu Maoxing's consciousness was in the heart of the kitchen, and Erina maintained the "special channel" all the time, and the young lady's "God's Tongue" was already numb due to fatigue!

"Ah!" Erina felt Liu Maoxing's "channel interface" move, and quickly let out a slightly distorted exclamation, then retreated immediately, and even made some sounds similar to eating ramen...

At the same time, due to some indescribable reasons, Erina was feeling weak all over and was about to fall, but it was Liu Maoxing who supported him to stand still.

"You, you...are you finished...?" Erina really had difficulty pronouncing this time because of "tiredness"!

"Hmm! There shouldn't be any problems for the time being, why don't you rest first?" Liu Maoxing said, helping Erina to his bed and sit down first.

And at this moment, Fei Shazi, who had been pressing his ear to the door for an hour, finally heard the voice of the two talking, and hurriedly opened the door and came.

"Ah Xing! What's the matter with you guy? How did it take so long?" Fei Shazi asked dissatisfied.

"Fei Shazi... don't talk about this problem..." Erina said a little shyly, probably remembering the one hour when she maintained the passage.

I have to say that this is really exhausting!

"Miss Erina, your 'God's Tongue'..." Fei Shazi heard the strangeness in Erina's voice, looked at Liu Maoxing's expression, and became even more hostile.

And at this time, because they saw Fei Shazi coming in, the other people who were waiting in the corridor also looked in.

Erina suddenly remembered something, and whispered for help, "Fei Shazi!"

Fei Shazi also immediately understood that Ms. Erina definitely didn't want others to find out about her current "God's Tongue" and her inaccurate pronunciation...

"Wait! Miss Erina needs to rest now, there is nothing else to do, you go out first, go out!" Fei Shazi started to chase people away.

The elders of the Liu family, including Joichiro, had stopped waiting outside for a long time. Senzaemon seemed to have realized something, and took the lead to retreat. The other Yuuhime, Ryoko and others did not question anything...

Fei Shazi went out with everyone, and before leaving, he gave Liu Maoxing a look, as if he was threatening something.

After Liu Maoxing and Erina were alone again, he felt a little awkward, but Liu Maoxing reacted immediately, first handed Erina a glass of warm water, and said, "Drink a glass of warm water and rest the 'God's Tongue'!"

Don't ask why drinking warm water has this function, warm water cures all diseases!

When Erina heard Liu Maoxing bring up this matter again, she couldn't help but glared at Liu Maoxing, then gave him a blank look, and then drank the water...

Liu Maoxing also told Erina all the things that happened before and what he said to "Ling'er".

However, Liu Maoxing only vaguely mentioned the last "Ling'er" promise to him.

You must know that if you want to "borrow fire" to others, you must first have fire yourself.

Even if you don't need to fully master the corresponding "essence", at least you need to get started.

The original Liu Maoxing thought that Linger, as Erina's "mutated kitchen heart", just "uploaded" some of Erina's introductory insights in "Spice Essence".

However, in the end, Ling'er turned out to be all-inclusive, as if she had all the "fire" of her own spirit! To know how many kinds of essences there are in cooking, no one knows, only know that this will be a very large number, knowing all of them... This is a bit scary!

Speaking of business, Erina also became serious, and said after listening: "Yes, she should not have lied, I do have an instinctive trust in her, and the feeling is completely different from being controlled by a 'demon'... "

"She said her name was 'Ling'er'? And helped you master the 'Spice Essence'?" Erina looked at Liu Maoxing questioningly.

A look that seemed to say "you won't do 'bad things' again in this hour".

After resting for half an hour, Erina's tongue recovered to the point where there was no obstacle in a normal conversation.

At the same time, Liu Maoxing paid attention to Linger's situation from time to time, but he only saw her in a praying posture, without any other movements...

What Liu Maoxing didn't know was that after Erina rested and left with Fei Shazi, Ling'er opened her eyes again, and at the same time said to herself: "Is Liu Maoxing? Time is running out, I hope you can make it in time... ..."

His eyes were deeper than before, but he also took the opportunity to stand up, shook his hands, and relieved the exhaustion of a posture, and then continued to make a "prayer".

Of course, Erina just left Liu Maoxing's room, and there was a celebration party in Jixing Liao that night, to celebrate Erina's return to normal, and also to celebrate the victory of the "war" against the "Central Gourmet Organization".

Tian Suohui has almost recovered his physical strength during this week. Although there are still some obstacles in cooking, he is already able to move freely...

Originally, Liu Maoxing wanted to use the way of cooking to carry some of the will of the "sun" and completely get rid of the influence of the "demon" for Tian Suohui, but found that Tian Suohui's "angel" was in the process of fighting against the remaining power of the "demon". For "Angel" Chuxin itself is also a kind of tempering, maybe it would be better for her to get rid of the influence, so she didn't act rashly.

At the same time, Erina and Tian Suohui's relationship quickly "warmed up" because of the previous incident. The always arrogant young lady unexpectedly secretly served Tian Suohui food bluntly and embarrassingly during the celebration, which Liu Maoxing and Fei Shazi did not enjoy. Treated too!

As a result, Yu Mei looked at Erina with resentment, while Alice looked at Tian Suohui angrily...

That's right, before Erina was looking for an "alliance" with Yu Mei, so that when Erina was not around, there would be "other" girls approaching Liu Maoxing, and the main target of defense was a certain local girl, and after Alice found out, she I went to Tian Suohui to "form an alliance", but now it seems that there is something wrong with this alliance?

(Did everyone almost forget the "Alliance" scene?)

When Liu Maoxing saw the relationship between Erina and Tian Suohui warming up a second ago, he was relieved, but immediately found that the four daughters Erina, Tian Suohui, Alice, and Yu Mei came to the side and didn't know what they were talking about... …

Afterwards, Fei Shazi, who had been following Erina, naturally joined in...

Although he already has "super-hearing", Liu Maoxing also has self-control, just like he doesn't use "super-vision" to spy on others at will, and usually doesn't let his "super-hearing" eavesdrop on other people's conversations.

Especially Liu Maoxing now feels that if he touches this kind of topic between girls easily, it may cause some bad things like a collapse of the three views!

Not long after, the five girls, under the leadership of Erina, surrounded Liu Maoyuan on the side, talking about something...

Among them, Erina, Fei Sazi, and Alice are quite familiar with Liu Maoyuan, but Mito Yumei and Tiansuo Kei, in fact, have never been very familiar with Liu Maoyuan.

After all, since Liu Maoyuan moved in, competitions have been going on in the academy, and everyone doesn't have much time to communicate.

But why did Liu Maoyuan, who was surrounded in the middle, look like he was being bullied?

"Ah Xing, is it really okay if you don't go and have a look?" Ryoko asked suddenly.

"Eh? What are you looking at? Over there? It's a girl's topic..." Liu Maoxing said with a guilty conscience.

"Oh, is it so?"

"In short, it looks quite peaceful!" Liu Maoxing nodded solemnly.

And at this moment, there was another knock on the door from the microphone.

"Really, what does Granny Wenxu do every day? It's rare to see her here..." You Ji went to open the door while complaining.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw two big mountains blocking the entrance of Yugong's house...Ah! No, it's the two big mountains named Yuanguo, filling Yuuhime's eyes.

"Eh? You are..."

"Excuse me... Ah Xing... I mean, is Liu Maoxing here?" Yuan Guo asked a little shyly.

She didn't know why she was blushing!

Although as a judge, it seemed not good for her to meet Liu Maoxing in private before the final qualifying match, but there were no specific rules, and Yuanguo couldn't bear it anymore.

But...why should I have a "guilty heart"?

"That's right! I just want to see Liu Maoxing!" After encouraging himself in his heart, Yuan Guo acted full of fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Yuji felt rather baffled, and felt that this Yuanguo-senpai looked so strange, so why not see her? Such a look about to fight?

"Huh? Ah...then come in..."

At the same time, he said to the microphone at the door: "Ah Xing, someone is looking for you! It's Senior Sister Mu Jiuzhi."

Immediately, Liu Maoxing's voice came from the opposite side of the microphone: "Yuanguo? I still want to find you tomorrow! Wait for me to get down, I'll be down right away..."

"Wait! Sister Mu Jiuzhi finally came here, let her come up and sit down!"

"That's it!"

"You don't dare to..."

Immediately, several female voices came out from the microphone, and after that, Liu Maoxing wanted to speak, but his mouth was covered!

"Yeah! Then Kikuchi-senpai come with me!" Yuuhime said.

"Eh? Really, really okay?" Yuan Guo seemed to sense the hostility coming from the microphone, and hesitated.

But just when she was about to leave the door, Erina's queenly voice came out again: "By the way, Yuuhime, if Kikuchi-senpai doesn't want to show you the honor, then there's no need to keep her. My sister is still very busy!"

"W-I'm busy or something, I'll go up now..." Yuan Guo looked like he was about to cry when he was bullied.

When I went upstairs, I followed You Ji, thinking of what Liu Maoxing had said to encourage me before, and cheering myself up all the way!

"I brought Kikuchi-san up here... Eh?" After Yuki opened the door, she turned around and found Sonogo with a fighting face like a female warrior, as if she was about to swell her muscles and enter a fighting form in the next moment... …

Erina greeted her with a smile: "Senior Mu Jiuzhi, really, there were a lot of hard things to say during the competition, why didn't you come to see us! After all, you are the judge, and we are not good. I took the initiative to see you...couldn't it be because of what happened last time that I'm still holding grudges?"

"What happened last time?" Yuan Guo wondered.

"Well, it was the last time I borrowed money from me... To be precise, Ah Xing borrowed money from me, saying that it was because you had no place to live." Erina had already walked in front of Yuanguo, and whispered with a "dark" expression .

Yuan Guo's face turned red in an instant, and he couldn't maintain his fighting face. He hurriedly explained: "That... this... actually... ah! I mean..." But he didn't say anything for a long time.

"Come here and let's chat!" If Erina's expression was placed in Lifan, it must be the yellow hair who has mastered the handle of the heroine.

Seeing that the "discussion group" had expanded to seven people, Liu Maoxing wondered, "Huh? Didn't you come to see me? But forget it...it seems to be another day of peace..."
