Love must come after exorcising

"King of Flavor...?"

Before Asano Feng could think clearly, under his muttering, the surrounding scene changed, and he came to another space in a sigh.

Volume 157: Chapter 1 17Chapter [-] Dreamland: In the supernatural cooking competition, the ingredients cannot be ordinary!

"Welcome to the Food Halberd · Taste King Competition, I am the examiner of this competition."

Appearing in front of Kaede Asano and the others was a humanoid creature in a black robe and a mask with blue-faced fangs—probably a human being.His eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally fixed on Yotsuba who was still in a daze.

"This lady is really stupid, she keeps trying even though the dishes she made can't satisfy their tastes... she's so stupid and cute."

"Huh?" Yotsuba couldn't understand, blinking innocent eyes, "Uncle, when did I participate in the competition?"

"Uncle... Uncle?! Very well, it is true that from the perspective of age, I am seven years older than this lady. I should be an uncle, but I prefer you to call me an examiner. This is respect."

"The way you speak is too similar to Asano!" Er Nai complained directly, and stunned that Asano Kaede next to her was speechless, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.

"No... It should be said that there are still differences. From the perspective of universal rationality, everyone's way of speaking is more or less different. This is why the examiner may simply be refuting his own age... Although this kind of Rebuttals are utterly pointless.”

Feeling that he was probably being led astray, Kaede Asano hurriedly stopped the car, sighed with a slight headache, looked straight at the examiner in front of him, and said calmly: "Please answer Yotsuba-san's question first and what is the reason for this time?" The game explains."

"Examiner, this is your duty."

"No matter who it is, as long as they come to the back kitchen, they will be recognized as a contestant in this competition, and that lady's culinary skills are hard to describe, so she can't come to the real core competition." He explained, and said slowly, "The requirements of the competition are also extremely simple, that is, to make dishes that satisfy them."

"them?"

"Already here, behind you."

Everyone turned their heads in unison, and then all the people present, including Asano Kaede, turned pale, feeling uncomfortable both psychologically and physically.Just because the "people" that appear in their eyes are out-and-out monsters, no different from the monsters Jianzi sees every day.

"They were not satisfied during their lifetime... Those who died of hunger strike, those who were anorexic, were starved to death, or even died suddenly without having enough food before death, there are all here... to satisfy their taste, whose cuisine is the best To be welcomed by them is to be the final winner of this Halberd Eater Competition."

"These are the rules, do you understand?"

Asano Kaede didn't want to think about the logic of the dream anymore. Hearing what the examiner said, he immediately asked, "Since it's a competition, where are our opponents and rewards?"

"Your opponent...heh, isn't it right in front of your eyes? Those who fail, chefs who can't satisfy their appetite with cooking, will naturally lose their qualifications as chefs and become a pathetic appetite."

"Do your best to satisfy them and satisfy their appetite. Of course, the prizes for winning are very generous. The tableware of God of Cooking, the legendary Golden Dragon Bowl, will match what you want inside."

After all, the examiner's figure slowly disappeared from everyone's eyes like smoke.Looking around, there is only a dark ancient kitchen scene, "Food Halberd · King of Flavor" written on white cloth with red borders, and monsters staring at everyone with evil and gloomy eyes.

This scene, but anyone who suffers from heart disease will be scared to death when he comes here!

"Nino, Asano-kun, what are we going to do now? Are we really going to do what he said?"

After experiencing the previous performances, Yihua said that taking advantage of or breaking the rules is naturally the best choice, so she directly turned her attention to the two best cooks present.

Asano Kaede didn't respond immediately, but came to the cooking counter with Nino, and after looking around, his expression gradually became strange.

"Why are there no ingredients?"

After searching the entire cooking table and surroundings, and confirming that there were really no ingredients, Nino clenched her fists angrily.

"Damn! That examiner is definitely a monster! I didn't think to catch him first just now... Well, how annoying!"

"Being led by the nose by the game, it is not surprising that he will make mistakes. And judging from the way he left, if we really made a move at the time, we might not be able to catch him... However, since it is a game, then There should be a way to win.”

Satisfying appetite with food, being a monster who was not satisfied in life, becoming a pathetic appetite—the words of the examiner reappeared in Asano Kaede's mind, and the time of thinking was longer than ever before, so long that Nino and the others The mood is gradually anxious and tense.

"Asano."

"what happened?"

Suddenly being poked on the arm, Kaede Asano looked over with a strange expression.Er Nao pointed to the front, moved closer to him, and deliberately lowered his voice: "I've been paying special attention to it since just now..."

"The eyes of those monsters seem to be staring at us all the time..." Unconsciously grabbing Asano Kaede's arm, Nino is behind him, looking at the monster in fear, "That feeling is just It seems to be regarded as food? It is very similar to the eyes of the judges when they watched the anime before when they looked at the food..."

"Huh? Asano, why don't you speak?"

"...Your arm is too hard."

Glancing at Er Nao's hand tightly clutching his arm, Asano Kaede's expression was a little uncomfortable, and he always felt that the difference between this Er Nao and what he encountered in reality was really bizarre—not so much trust, but rather Said to be more intimate and frank?

The behavior in the dream can be summed up as a subconscious expression. In other words, does he actually have enough trust in Er Nai's heart to be worthy of her frank treatment?

And hearing Kaede Asano's voice that sounded helpless and headache, and the gesture of turning away his face, as if embarrassed and at a loss, Nino felt very comfortable, and the corners of his mouth curled up more and more happily.

"Is there any way to do this, who made me really unacceptable to those monsters, where else can I grab if I don't grab your arm? Yihua and the others are also very scared, okay, and ah, I don't care, are you a big boy?" Do you want to be shy and care about it?"

"Well, sorry." Asano Kaede nodded, not being overwhelmed by Nino's words at all.

"Tsk! You have a thick skin. Where exactly are you putting your shame on?"

Er Nao clicked his tongue softly, turned his eyes away with disgust, but still let go of the hand that was holding his arm tightly, combed the hair around his ear as if nothing had happened, and said with a slightly red cheek: "However, what I said earlier, What's on your mind?"

"Hmm... It's quite interesting." Asano Kaede said, shaking his arm, and found that some of the monsters in front were indeed looking in the direction of his movement, with undisguised greed in their gloomy eyes.

Then, after a little thought, his eyes gradually turned cold: "I probably understand. This kitchen is not without ingredients, but the ingredients themselves, which are us... In other words, human flesh is nothing to these monsters." The best ingredients."

"Look at those monsters, what do they have in common?"

After a short silence, Yihua's hesitant voice rang in his ear: "Asano-kun, are you saying...these monsters are incomplete?"

"Good observation skills, I only noticed this after being reminded by Nino's classmate."

Asano Kaede replied appreciatively, although Yihua and Nino were reluctant to express their happiness, the little joy in their eyes betrayed their feelings completely.

"The chefs before coming here have all found the biggest difference between this competition and the traditional cooking competition. Unfortunately...the ingredients they can use are only their own. In other words, these chefs cannot provide the original "guests" Enough meat, so they can't satisfy their appetite. "

Volume 158: Chapter 148 Chapter [-] Danger is Always Quiet

After hearing that the ingredients were actually human beings, the girls inevitably felt scared and nervous, and their faces turned pale.

"Asano-kun, why don't we type it out?" Yihua whispered, and took out a one hundred yuan coin from his pocket in a dignified manner.

Asano Kaede's eyes calmly passed over the girl's excited expression mixed with a little fear, and then said with a slight sigh: "I can't imagine where Yihua's violent tendencies come from. It is reasonable to say that few girls think about it." Isn't that the way to go?"

"Oh, what did Asano-kun say? She is obviously a very weak little girl, how can she be as scary as you said~" Ichika smiled and patted Asano Kaede's back, but the meaning in his eyes made him I felt a slight chill coming from my back to my front.

"From the perspective of universal rationality, when you first said that sentence, it was already scary enough. Although violence is not impossible, but... violence is only a means to solve the problem. If we can't deal with the immediate problem Trouble, violence is just emotional catharsis."

"Ah... the annoying lecture mode, I thought Asano-kun was already a mature boy who would understand girls."

"I'm just too lazy to understand you."

Yihua covered her ears, pretending to be deaf and not hearing Kaede Asano's heartless words.When Er Nai and the others saw this scene, they got together and secretly laughed, dispelling a lot of clouds that were hanging over their hearts.

After appeasing their mood, Kaede Asano walked around the venue alone, looking for a way to leave.

Cooking is impossible.

Although it is not difficult to obtain the ingredients themselves, it violates the most basic morality. If it is really carried out according to the rules of the competition, let alone them, it will inevitably cause an indelible psychological shadow on himself.

Where is the key to breaking the game?

Asano Feng frowned, it was the first time he encountered such an unsolvable situation, it was impossible not to say that he was anxious.But the more anxious he was, the more he had to force himself to calm down, otherwise the wrong decision would have more serious consequences.

However, just as he was thinking about how to use the halberd skillfully or avoid the rules in this halberd competition, a familiar voice rang in his ears.

"Asano-kun...it can only be you..."

"Don't get lost...in yourself."

"Who?!" Kaede Asano stopped and looked around in surprise, but there was no one behind him... No, it should be said that the figures of Nino and the others became more and more confused in his eyes, and even the competition The place he was in was gradually filled with all kinds of weird things that he couldn't adapt to.

"Why are you all...uh-uh--!"

Needle-like pain kept pouring out of Asano Kaede's head, cold sweat broke out, and the pale golden pupils were gradually filled with bloodshot eyes, until a sacred light slowly radiated from his body surface, and the pain was relieved. is offset.

After a period of time, Kaede Asano raised his head again and looked forward, and the scenes that had been confused before and Nino and the others became clear again one by one.It's just that compared with him before, the smile on his face is a bit forced.After wiping off the dripping sweat, he whispered with emotion: "Yujia, you saved me again."

Almost... lost in a dream.

Rather, when he left the library, he had already fallen into a dream step by step.Especially when rescuing Yihua, he could take Yihua away forcefully, and use force to force the people behind the scenes to hand over the blessings of the gods that should belong to Yihua so as to wake her up, but he chose to use the rules and trade to get her back. achieve what he wanted at the time.

But using the rules themselves, isn't it driven by the rules?Those who are in charge of the rules of the chessboard are never the confrontational chess players, but the ones who create the rules of the chessboard. They are the only creators, the only "gods" in the chessboard world!

The same is true of dreams.

When Kaede Asano wanted to use the rules more, the more he fell into a dream.If it wasn't for the last guarantee that Yujia set up for him before entering the dream, this dream would most likely end in failure, and it would not be so easy to enter Nino's dream next time.

"Asano!" "Asano-kun!" "Asano-san!"——The girls ran up anxiously and worriedly supported Asano Kaede, who seemed to be in poor health.

But before they could express their worries, they heard Kaede Asano say: "Ichika is right, the best solution at this time is indeed violence."

"The only way is to break the rules, destroy everything around us, and establish our own rules among the ruins."

"Eh?!"

Yihua and they were completely stunned.

Who can tell them what happened, why Kaede Asano suddenly said something that didn't match the previous ones!

Too soon to repent!

Er Nai said this to Asano Feng directly: "...Asano, you just want to say it."

"That's the choice I will make. I don't need so many worries in the dream." Asano Feng smiled gently, "Sure enough, Nino is cuter in the dream, and more frank than in reality. Ten thousand times."

"You, don't say such strange things, how did this person grow his face, where did he lose his shame... Really, don't you know that it is a very scary thing to say a girl is cute all of a sudden? No matter how you say it..."

After muttering for a while, the blushing on Nino's cheeks could not fade away.Thanks to the powerful logic distortion ability of Mr. Yumengjing, neither Nino nor others noticed the "dreamland" that Kaede Asano said.

"Compared to being shy and entangled in how to say the word "cute" to you, I suggest that Er Nai should drink a glass of cold water to calm down first, and accept the truth that is being told calmly. Presumably anyone will I think you are cute now. "

"Asano...you!" To say such strange words again and again, I really think I am Hello Kitty, and I won't be angry with you, will I?

Nino gritted her teeth angrily, but Yihua beside her laughed loudly: "Nino is obviously very happy, so don't just blush there, rushing over to give Asano-kun a big hug is the best way to be grateful ~"

"Yihua, shut up!"

"Neruo is shy, so cute." Sanjiu made up the knife in silence, Er Nao was so angry that he stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek on the spot.

"That... Asano-san seems to be about to make a move, you all calm down..." Yotsuba hastily stretched out her hand to stop the two who were about to pinch each other's faces, and at the same time Wuyue came to the middle, and directly took Nino and Ichibana Sanjiu separated in space.

As for Asano Kaede, he had already walked up to the monsters waiting for food on the seats with the knife in his hands, holding the knife handle tightly with both hands and slowly raising it above his head.

"Thunder Emperor summoned!"

The thunder fell, and all the monsters in front of them disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Volume 159: Chapter 149 Chapter [-] Inari God who knows how to praise children is actually quite cute

When the thunder fell and the monster dissipated, the scenery in everyone's eyes changed immediately, as if the dizziness of falling into a vortex swept over, what finally appeared in front of Kaede Asano and others was neither the cafeteria nor any building in the school , but a hospital where medical staff, patients, and family members come and go.

The familiar smell of disinfectant made people uncomfortable, and he wrinkled his nose habitually. Asano Kaede hadn't cleared up the situation here for a while, turned his face to look, and at some point, the five sisters had mist in their eyes.

"..." Thinking of a certain possibility, Asano Kaede stopped talking, but looked at the five sisters quietly, watching them gradually regain their spirits from their daze, and looked at the five little ones who were surrounding their mother in front of them.

Teacher Rena in the wheelchair is very similar to his impression but also different.At this moment, she is still as beautiful as ever, but like a flower that will wither in the wind and rain, she is pale and sad.

Just one glance makes people feel pity and sympathy.

"Aren't you going to meet her?" Asano Kaede saw the hesitation in their eyes, and said with relief, "Don't worry, this is not a trap. Maybe it is the scene you can't let go of and want to face again."

Most likely because it was in a dream, or out of trust in Kaede Asano, Erino ignored why he could conclude that this was not a trap, bit his lip, and at the same time Wu Xiaozhi pushed the wheelchair to let Rena go back to the ward Slowly the others followed.

Seeing the mother in memory again, the five sisters naturally have a lot to say in their hearts, even though it may be a dream in their current cognition.

And the moment Rena-sensei turned around, her eyes briefly met with Kaede Asano's in the air, and they smiled knowingly.

"Asano, don't you come with me?"

Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, Nino looked at him suspiciously.Seeing this, Asano Kaede shook his head, with a relaxed smile on his face: "Just go there, I want to stay outside for a while, the air here is still quite uncomfortable."

"Hey, we still want to introduce Asano-kun to our mother, so we really don't want to come with us?" Yihua blinked, and suddenly chuckled, "Could it be that Asano-kun is worried about how we will introduce you?"

"Don't worry~ About you and Nino, my sister, I will definitely keep my mouth shut in front of my mother. If my mother doesn't ask, I won't say anything."

"...Student Yihua is worrying too much, this kind of worry is completely out of my mind." Asano Feng squinted his half-moon eyes, and he never had any trust in her remarks with such an attitude, "I'll go outside for a walk , and by the way, find out the guy hiding behind the scenes, and you go to see Zero first... meet your mother."

Without giving the five sisters a chance to react, Kaede Asano turned his back on them and left before the words could be heard completely, and quickly came outside the hospital.

"What, this guy is really..." Nino clicked his lips in displeasure, but the expression between his brows and eyes softened inadvertently.

Of course she knew that Asano Kaede was a guy who was indifferent on the outside but warm on the inside, and she might have made the choice to reject them because she wanted to leave them more room to talk about old times with their mother.

Maybe, and he didn't want them to wait for the ugly behavior to be seen?

Guessing Kaede Asano's behavior and true intentions for granted, Nino couldn't help showing a happy smile at the corner of his mouth, but it was also slightly red.
