As soon as Shiro spoke, everyone present was stunned. Could there really have been that many points?
At that moment, Erina also showed disbelief and challenged him.
"Are you sure you're not joking with me?"
"Where do those 20 points come from? Tell me, then."
Erina spoke, unwilling to back down, because that person was completely challenging her expertise. Even if she could not match him in cooking, she had a natural advantage!
Kikuchi Sonoka, hearing this, also had countless questions swarming in her mind. Did her ultimate dish really have that many flaws?
At that moment, Shiro spoke calmly.
"Given my level, why should I lie to you?"
Hearing this, Erina immediately flared up in anger. She could do nothing; this guy was too arrogant and she could not refute him. The main thing is, if you lose a bet, you have to accept the consequences.
Shiro did not waste words and pointed out every flaw one by one.
The more Kikuchi Sonoka listened, the paler her face became. After hearing everything, she felt as if she had been completely crushed.
Although there really were some points she was not sure were important, some were definitely things she had not done. Would applying them really make it better?
Erina, hearing this, was also not convinced.
"You're completely nitpicking! Many of these steps are completely unnecessary."
Shiro looked at the face of the tsundere girl who was not convinced, stood up directly, and spoke to the beautiful head chef, who had turned pale.
"Take me to the kitchen. You should still have ingredients there, right? I'll watch you cook and shut this tsundere up!"
Hearing this, Erina also slammed the table and shouted,
"Bastard, who are you calling tsundere?!"
Shiro could not be bothered arguing with her. He looked at her, showing that she still had not moved. At that moment, Kikuchi Sonoka also pulled herself together and led the way, because she truly wanted to see whether there were really that many problems.
When the group arrived in the kitchen, Shiro began guiding her, and she was very obedient, not making any extra steps.
After a little instruction, the dish was finally finished.
Everyone looked at the food in front of them and felt that it really did look a little different.
Shiro pushed three portions in front of the three of them.
"How do you think it compares with the previous one?"
The three of them did not waste words. They cut off a small piece with a knife and fork and took a bite.
One by one, they were pulled into a gourmet illusion, experiencing its charms.
Kikuchi Sonoka also took a bite, her eyes full of disbelief. The taste of her dish, this dish, was at least 50% better than before.
It was like a dream that small adjustments or seemingly insignificant problems could affect a dish so much.
At that moment, Erina also looked at Shiro with an unwilling expression on her face. She had to admit that his influence was indeed greater than hers.
Shiro wanted to open his mouth and provoke this tsundere, who had avoided disaster thanks to Alice, when the beautiful head chef spoke.
"Shiro-kun, may I ask you for a favor?"
"Of course, it won't be without compensation. You can state your price, as long as it is within my capabilities."
Kikuchi Sonoka suddenly spoke, which confused him a little.
"You have something to ask me? Tell me. If it is not too much, I do not mind."
"Shiro-kun, I want to ask you to make this ultimate dish of mine once. I want to see whether it can be improved further, and I want to experience it firsthand."
"I believe the taste of your cooking will definitely be far superior to mine."
Shiro was stunned for a moment. He had never expected such a request. Honestly, this request was not too difficult and was quite easy for him. After a brief thought, he saw that the other side was full of anticipation, even Kikuchi Sonoka looked impatient. After all, she was aware of Shiro's culinary skills, but he was always too lazy to cook.
Erina and the secretary, not to mention, both had seen Shiro cook once, but at that time they were not even qualified to eat it.
Now, recalling it, they felt both anticipation and fear.
"Alright, but first let me warn you, I will not go all out, because you would not be able to eat what I make at full strength."
"If you don't believe me, ask that tsundere and the secretary. They know very well that not even their grandfathers are qualified to eat something I make seriously."
Kikuchi Sonoka was stunned when she heard this. Was it really that terrifying? When she turned to look, the other face showed irritation, but still nodded, confirming the truth. Back then, even her grandfather wanted to try it, but as soon as he reached out his hand, a voice told him that he was not qualified to eat it, so he never tried it. Still, it was so tempting that Shiro finished the dish himself later, otherwise it would have been a huge problem!
After receiving confirmation, Kikuchi Sonoka could not help swallowing. Looking at the young man in front of her, was he perhaps a little too powerful?
Shiro did not waste words and began to work. Every step, from beginning to end, was carefully executed, and his speed was unbelievably fast. Whether it was knife skills, ingredient preparation, or seasoning techniques, those watching who did not know better would think they were filming an action movie with special effects.
Watching various ingredients get chopped in an instant, only seeing the flash of the knife, these people truly thought they were watching a movie.
Kirishima Shoko watched Shiro's actions without much excitement. Instead, she felt that he was already holding back a lot, otherwise, if he were serious, it would not look like this...
When Shiro finished in front of everyone, he covered the dish with a lid and placed it in front of them.
Erina and the secretary seemed to remember something; Shiro's cooking shone, so he covered it with a lid.
Kirishima Shoko also knew about this and did not show any emotions on her face.
Kikuchi Sonoka was a little confused. What is going on? Why did he specially cover it with a lid?
However, she quickly understood. The moment the lid was lifted, light radiated from it like a spring, and then a steak appeared before everyone, superior to hers in both appearance and decoration.
And the moment the lid was lifted, the aroma filled everyone's noses, and they could hardly wait to start eating.
After everyone finished eating, they all found themselves in an illusion.
Each person was separated, in a wedding dress, with Shiro beside them.
The wedding of the century was held, filling them with a feeling of happiness. And after the wedding, these people took part in acts of cultivation. In reality, these people were constantly grinding their legs, and their clothes really did tear, because there was a supernatural force here. So, this was real, but it was not as frequent as imagined, constantly tearing.
Only people like them, eating food that had been prepared again, would have such a reaction, and the tears were only small cracks, after all, the impact was too strong.
However, because Shiro was too terrifying, even causing vibrations, these people's clothes completely fell off.
Shiro forgot about the tsundere's ability. While he was doing this, it seemed as if an earthquake had occurred. Shiro did not waste words and directly isolated this vibrational force.
When these people woke up at the same time, each expressed their thoughts with joyful expressions on their faces.
Even Erina, despite her distress, understood the difference between them. And the moment she woke up, she shouted: "Shameless! No indecency!"
And Kikuchi Sonoka said: "You can't be lustful so quickly."
Each of their reactions was problematic. Then, after the effects calmed down, they opened their eyes and looked around, then looked at themselves, and each let out a scream.
"Ah!" x4
"Pervert! Turn your head quickly!"
Erina screamed and also saw someone looking at them, so she immediately spoke.
