"Hinako-senpai Inui is a devil! Who would send a chef out into the wild to find ingredients?! This is definitely a prank!!"
The first day of the autumn training camp also marked the beginning of what Totsuki Academy calls "residential training."
Known as the "Empress of the Mist," Hinako Inui has a beautiful baby face, but she also possesses an extremely strong aura of a Japanese widow.
Her Yamato Nadeshiko-like demeanor and ever-present smile initially made the Totsuki students think she would be easy to get through.
But who would have thought that her research topic was simply too difficult for anyone to handle!
"Use the collected ingredients to make a Japanese dish..."
The boy with red hair stroked his chin, suddenly had an idea, and ran towards the small river in the area.
"Xinping, how can I help?"
The girl who was on his team quickly spoke up in a weak voice.
"Tadokoro-kun, could you please find some ingredients to go with the fish? ... Those people are running too fast, I have to go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Soma Yukihira disappeared in a flash.
Leaving behind a bitter-looking Tadokoro Megumi, she muttered to herself, "Edible ingredients..."
She was only familiar with wild vegetables, and hoped that she could help Xingping, who was the village's only hope and couldn't be eliminated on the first day.
Looking at the students running around outside the window, Inui Hinako squinted slightly, opened a bag of persimmon seeds, and began to enjoy them.
She didn't want to just sit there doing nothing during her hard-earned vacation.
Hopefully, some good chefs will emerge this time, and she can recruit some chefs for her shop in advance.
However, before I could even taste the persimmon seeds I had just opened, the kitchen door was opened again.
"Hey? We need to find some edible ingredients carefully, we can't just make do..."
Hinako Inui picked up a persimmon seed and put it in her mouth.
"Senior Qian, I apologize for disturbing you."
Hearing the voice, Hinako Inui paused for a moment, then turned around and saw a blonde girl standing there gracefully.
"Eh? Erina? You're taking an exam at this time too, right? Did the other teachers assign the same topic...?"
"No, I just took and passed Shinomiya-senpai's assessment. I came here to take Inui-nii-senpai's assessment."
Erina Nakiri briefly described her situation.
After receiving two brief lessons from Aoba and tasting the glowing dish... (Read super exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
Not only has her divine tongue evolved, but her culinary skills have also improved.
However, she was still completely confused about what Aoba meant by "culinary emotions," so she thought about participating in more of the seniors' assessments to see if she could find a breakthrough under pressure.
"You passed Shinomiya-senpai's test?!"
How long has it been?
Hinako Inui opened her eyes in surprise and carefully examined Erina Nakiri.
Senior Shinomiya's tests are notoriously difficult, and it's quite something that he managed to prepare a dish that satisfied him in such a short time.
Erina's strength is probably already in the top five of the Elite Ten, right?!
With the aid of God's Tongue, he will definitely become an extraordinary top chef in the future.
Besides, they're working so hard...
"Participating in the assessment is no problem, but Erina, my assessment requires a team. Are you sure you're okay with being alone right now?"
"Don't worry, Inui-nii-senpai."
Erina Nakiri's gilded eyes suddenly lit up, and she firmly said:
"I'll be fine."
I'm risking the Nakiri family's reputation, and my teacher's guidance...
She will definitely become the best chef!
"Alright then, the assessment task is to find the ingredients and cook a Japanese dish in the environment outside the Totsuki Hotel."
Seeing Erina's unwavering determination, Hinako Inui also revealed the assessment topic.
"Because Erina arrived rather late, I'm just giving you a friendly heads-up..."
Hinako Inui squinted again, ate the crunchy persimmon seed, and mumbled: "Zhu:"
"Let's not even think about cooking fish; that little river has been almost completely fished out."
"I understand, thank you, Qianri-senpai."
Erina took a deep breath and ran straight towards the Outer Peaks.
Watching her solitary figure from behind, Hinako Inui sighed inexplicably:
"Is it that mysterious teacher the Commander-in-Chief mentioned? It's truly astonishing that he's made Erina so diligent..."
Click!
Persimmon seeds and fragments were scattered all over the ground.
"I'm very interested."
Chapter 185 To be honest, I can do a little bit of makeup too!
Toyosaki Academy.
Even after the opening ceremony, many students and teachers remained in the auditorium.
Following the 40th anniversary celebration, there was a program organized by the student council.
This program can be considered a graduation ceremony for many graduates, allowing them to leave the most memorable mark on their youth before leaving Toyonosaki.
Being able to present their most radiant and beautiful side on the stage of their alma mater is a memory they will cherish for the rest of their lives.
"The next program is... Huh? Why is it the one that was crossed out? Has Kaori Miyazono from Class 2-B arrived yet?"
Backstage at the auditorium, student council members were busily comparing the time and the program schedule.
Although participation in the program is open as long as the application is successful, there are still requirements regarding the length of each program.
The violin solo that has been removed can be either long or short.
There were three songs submitted.
If the performers aren't ready, the show will be skipped.
"We're here! We're here!"
Hearing her name called, Kaori Miyazono finally managed to squeeze to the table, her violin slung over her shoulder, her two starry eyes sparkling with excitement:
"Senior, is it my turn?"
"Yeah, get ready and we'll go on. I wonder who cut your segment..."
The senior student council member shook her head helplessly. She didn't care about these things, but the younger students were probably focused entirely on the show.
She deftly and efficiently prepared to pick up the walkie-talkie:
"Next up, Kaori Miyazono from Class 2-B will be performing a violin solo of 990..."
The walkie-talkie was connected to the host's headset on stage.
However, when she looked up, she instantly changed the subject.
"Wait a minute, the next program is a group song by the third graders!"
The words fell.
She stood up and looked at the bewildered Kaori Miyazono, saying helplessly:
"Miyazono-kun, who is your mentor? Didn't he tell you that you need makeup and a dress to perform on stage?"
"Ah~?!"
Completely unaware of this, Kaori Miyazono paused for a moment, then blankly turned her head left and right to look around.
It seems like everyone participating in the show backstage was wearing formal attire.
Only she... came over wearing her school uniform skirt.
As for makeup, it goes without saying, she's completely bare-faced!
"I..."
"Don't rush. Give your mentor a call. Your performance time is relatively short, so we can schedule it for later."
"Okay, thank you, senior!"
"No need, the student council rents out dresses. You can choose one if you don't mind, but makeup..."
The student council doesn't have a dedicated makeup artist.
Although many girls in the school have good makeup skills, they only wear everyday makeup.
For solo performances like violin recitals, the requirements for makeup are quite high; you can't just do a sloppy job.
"You'll have to figure something out yourself."
The senior student patted Kaori Miyazono's shoulder helplessly and went to rearrange the order of the next program.
Kaori Miyazono quickly took out her phone and called Shizuka Hiratsuka. At this point, she could only place her hopes on this "Demon King Shizuka" teacher.
"A formal dress? And makeup too?!"
When Hiratsuka Shizuka arrived and heard Miyazono Kaori's request, she looked incredulous.
She was asked to be a mentor at the last minute, and she never expected that participating in a program would be so troublesome.
Back then, she and Aoba went on stage in their school uniforms to participate in the chorus, there was no need for all this trouble!
Hiratsuka Shizuka's head ached more and more as she thought about it.
Where can I find a makeup artist these days?
Even if they found it, could they create a suitable makeup look for Kaori Miyazono in such a short time?
