"Alice, please follow the rules, or I will disqualify you."
Azami Nakiri smiled as he looked at Alice Nakiri, like a benevolent uncle.
"Ah! Uncle Azami."
Alice Nakiri greeted him with a smile.
"It's been a few years, and Alice has... grown more and more beautiful.
Your mother must be proud of how sensible and obedient you are."
Azami Nakiri said with a beaming smile.
"Of course! I'm much more sensible and obedient than Erina!" Alice Nakiri seemed very happy, raising her hand and saying cheerfully.
Satou looked at her, a bit speechless. Leonora Nakiri was usually most troubled by Alice's mischievousness.
"Indeed.
It pains me to see Erina turn into a bad child." Azami Nakiri said with a kind smile, "The Nakiri family bears the responsibility of advancing the Japanese culinary world. I'm sure you, Alice, can understand."
"I don't understand, and I don't approve of you being the Head Chef." Alice Nakiri puffed out her cheeks and said.
"Oh, I thought you would be a more sensible child than Erina. Are you also disobedient?" Azami Nakiri said with a smile, but a hint of coldness entered his expression.
"Who cares about you?" Alice Nakiri said, "What you did to Erina makes it impossible for me to forgive you!"
Then, with a childish expression, she uttered words that froze the atmosphere: "So, I really dislike you, Uncle!
!"
"I will definitely kick you out of Far Moon and not let you do whatever you want to Erina!"
"Is that so? Then work hard." Azami Nakiri said with a smile, but his smile was very cold.
"Alice…" Hearing Alice Nakiri's words, Erina Nakiri felt a little touched.
"If Uncle Azami hadn't meddled, my relationship with Erina would be much, much, much better than it is now!" Alice Nakiri said, with her hands behind her back. However, after thinking about it, if she and Erina became good sisters, she might feel too embarrassed to steal her boyfriend.
So she thought for a moment and decided that it was indeed better not to be good sisters.
"Speaking of which, what's with that weak and timid expression, Erina? Are you afraid of Uncle Azami? Didn't you say you wanted to be a rebellious bad girl who doesn't listen to her father? If that's the case, then act like a rebellious bad girl!" Alice Nakiri ran to the judges' table, walked over, and pointed at her, saying, "Go dye your hair, get a tattoo or something, then put on a sour face, just like you usually do."
"Hmm…, I know…" Erina Nakiri was about to say something when she suddenly reacted, feeling… furious inside, and gritted her teeth: "What do you mean by me dyeing my hair and getting a tattoo! And what's with telling me to put on my usual sour face?"
"Erina, don't you know how annoying your usual smug look is?" Alice Nakiri said, then suddenly her eyes lit up, "But speaking of which, do you really not want to dye your hair and get a tattoo? Didn't you say you wanted to be a delinquent? I'll take you this afternoon!"
"You're the one who's suitable for it!" Erina Nakiri shouted angrily. She wanted to be a virtuous mother, not a bad girl! Satou was quite speechless watching the two sisters immediately start chattering and bickering.
"Haha, it seems like their relationship is quite good." Yukihira Soma laughed.
"Don't say that in front of them, or it'll be a lot of trouble." Ryo said, hooking his arm around Soma's neck.
"Um…, can you two stop arguing? If you don't go back to your stations, I'll have to disqualify you." Eishi Tsukasa said helplessly.
"Hmph!" Alice Nakiri turned her head away angrily and reluctantly returned to her cooking station.
"Damn brats, are they completely disregarding us?" Shiratsu Jurio gritted his teeth, feeling completely looked down upon by these first-year students.
Then, he began to spin the seasoning bottles, as if dancing.
"Oh, Shiratsu's Rondo is finally appearing, huh?" On the side, Shoko Kaburagi smiled calmly, knowing that the other party was finally serious.
"It looks amazing." Tadokoro Megumi's face turned pale, feeling a sense of pressure.
However, the Elite Ten members watched his movements expressionlessly. In their opinion, it was merely for show; the movements seemed flashy, but they were actually not very useful.
On the other side, Satou also used a small knife to nail the eel's head to the cutting board, then, holding the knife, he lightly sliced its belly. The speed was extremely fast, almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
A long, neat cut was made on the fish's belly. Because of the extreme speed, there was no blood on the blade, and the eel itself didn't even realize it had been gutted, occasionally wriggling its body.
The Elite Ten's attention had been focused on Satou since the beginning, and upon seeing this scene, their pupils constricted! Satou's movements were not particularly flashy; if one didn't look closely, it would even be difficult to notice. But compared to him, Shiratsu Jurio was like a juggler, not on the same level at all.
"Such terrifying knife skills." Nene Kinokuni lowered her head, a cold glint flashing across her glasses.
The others also looked solemn.
Azami Nakiri's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Satou's back.
The intelligence seemed to be off, which made him feel uncertain about the situation for the first time.
However, except for the Elite Ten, no one else noticed this scene; they were all focused on preparing their dishes.
The dish Satou was making was Lotus Leaf Eel Rolls.
He added peppercorn water, salt, and egg liquid to minced pork and stirred it, then deboned the eel, sliced it thinly, wrapped the pork filling in it, coated the surface with breadcrumbs, and deep-fried it.
Soon after, a rich aroma emanated from the oil pan.
Time passed quickly, and people successively completed their dishes.
The first to finish the dish was Tadokoro Megumi.
"Please... please everyone, have a taste."
Seeing her dish about to be tasted by all of the Elite Ten, including the Head Chef, Nene Kinokuni felt very nervous, her palms drenched in sweat.
She had made eel and pumpkin rice. The roasted eel was sliced and then mixed with pumpkin, rice, soy sauce, and sugar before being cooked together. It had both the savory flavor of broiled eel and the sweet, soft, and glutinous taste of pumpkin, making it incredibly delicious.
