They Gather Here

"Is it delicious?" Yukinoshita asked.

"How could it be bad?" Erina replied.

"Praise... Praise!?"

"In theory, gratin is the same thing as pizza."

Tsundere or something, I hate it!

Yukinoshita complained in his heart, but thinking that he was the same kind of person, he couldn't help being a little funny, "Pfft!"

what's so funny?

At this time, Erina had already regained her vitality, and stared at the other party dissatisfied.

Yukinoshita ignored.

"Humph--"

"whispering sound--"

In this way, eating alone and watching alone, the atmosphere is harmonious.

Erina didn't eat fast, she took every bite, as if she wanted to savor it carefully, but Yukinoshita also got hungry.

The latter broke off a piece of baguette helplessly, and ate it on his own.

At this time, Erina spoke again: "Senior Yukinoshita, what is your cooking philosophy?"

"I'm not a chef, so how can I have any ideas?" Yukinoshita tilted her head, as if thinking, "If you have to say it, I should be the same as Student Luo."

"I know Xiaozhen's cooking philosophy. He thinks that cooking is a craft, and the chef's responsibility is to make the diners who spend money full and happy. But you are not a chef."

"I think that cooking is something that makes people happy. This should be in line with Luo's idea in essence, right?"

"Is that right?"

"That's right."

Yukinoshita's answer was very positive.

Erina raised her head and looked at him in bewilderment.

Suddenly, she had an epiphany——

Cooking is something that makes people happy, not a tool for competition.

The statement "I must give you a taste of looking up to me" or something may be good in flirting, but weak in cooking.

The girl didn't expect that she was always groping along the way of cooking, but her belief was not as good as that of an amateur chef.

Perhaps, this is the fan of the authorities.

She pondered for a moment, and said, "Senior Yukinoshita, I want to leave my own creations on the menu of One and Two."

"Of course." Yukinoshita nodded, "One or two books are listed by Yuanyue."

"Before I start, I'm going to make gratin too."

"Are you going to bully me, an amateur player, if you can't beat classmate Luo?"

"Well……"

"Well, I agree with your opponent."

The two girls looked at each other and smiled.

Chapter 38 Rivals and Gratin

After finishing the interview, Luo Zhen walked into the gate of the izakaya.

At the first glance, he saw Erina eating the warm roasted dish bite by bite, and couldn't help but say out the bullet screen in his heart: "I'm so happy."

"Would you like to try it?" Erina said, "It's delicious."

"It's delicious, after all, gratin is essentially the same thing as pizza."

"Idiot! Super idiot!! Whirlwind invincible idiot!!!"

Erina and Yukinoshita stared dissatisfiedly, and staggered their gazes.

When did the relationship between the two get better?

Luo Zhen was stunned.

However, he soon stopped thinking about it so much, sat down in front of the bar, and muttered: "The interview is disgusting, it can kill a person."

On the contrary, it was Erina, who had just finished eating the potato gratin, stretched contentedly, and felt that her physical strength had returned.

She showed a cute smile: "What's the matter?"

"In the interview at night, everyone in the neon society is really working overtime."

"It's normal. Isn't there a variety show called "Yueyue Yeweiyang"? There are often all-night street visits. Imagine that the cameraman works for more than ten hours with his equipment on his shoulders. That's terrible."

"It's scary enough."

"It is said that that program also took stock of the history of neon comics."

"..."

"..."

The tavern fell silent.

Erina scratched her head, not knowing what she said wrong.

After a long time, Yukinoshita said, "Well, Nakiri-san, you seem to be very proficient."

Erina exploded instantly.

Luo Zhen hurriedly used words to comfort him, saying things like "Be good~" and "Don't be angry~", basically in the style of smoothing the hair of the golden retriever.

The girl slowly stabilized her emotions, and then, her shame returned, and her cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As if she didn't know where she was, she glanced around blankly, and finally, her eyes focused on the cooking table.

I remembered something was coming.

"Xiaozhen, are you hungry?" she asked.

"Of course I'm hungry." Luo Zhen replied, "I haven't had dinner yet."

"I'll make you gratin."

"Milk..."

Gratin is "グラタン" in Japanese and "gratin" in French, but the Chinese word "gratin" often makes people think of a homonym that is not humane.

Emmmm......

Please forgive me, Luo Zhen is evil.

He coughed violently, his eyes stayed on Erina's figure for a while, and then looked away.

The girl shuddered involuntarily.

This feeling is like being stripped naked by someone to examine (gentleman) and inspect (gentleman).

"What are you thinking?" she cried out.

"It's nothing." Even if he was beaten to death, Luo Zhen couldn't say, "I was just thinking that Eri's gratin must be delicious."

This liar!

However, in some cases, lies = standard answer.

Just like the current Erina, smiling, without any intention of getting to the bottom of it.

This is a pass at risk.

Call ~

Luo Zhen let out a long breath.

Looking at the two of them, Yukinoshita couldn't help shaking his head, thinking that he would never let Luo be fooled so easily.

Who would have thought...

"I also want to eat the potato gratin made by Yukinoshita, what a pity." Luo Zhen looked aggrieved.

"Next time, I will do it alone for you." Yukinoshita smiled happily.

The girl forgot the oath just now.

This time, it was Erina's turn to be jealous, and forced to break into the topic: "Xiaozhen, don't worry, the gratin I made will definitely taste better."

"Huh?" Yukinoshita was dissatisfied.

"Humph--"

"whispering sound--"

A new storm has emerged.

very scary.

Luo Zhen decided to be a coward and shut up honestly, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

The two girls looked at each other for a moment, and finally gave up the cold war.

Erina walked into the back kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and looked for ingredients.

At this time, Yukinoshita suddenly reminded me: "Nakiri-san, don't forget your purpose."

Erina's goal is to create dishes that can stay on the menu.

In other words, one or two conditions must be observed——

Inexpensive.

The sentence just now was to remind the girl not to make it too gorgeous.

She nodded and made a decision in an instant, and made a traditional Japanese gratin.
