"Hoshino-senpai, you truly live up to your lineage. You so easily defeated a strong Midnight Chef, that kitchen clown who often appears at family gatherings of underworld bosses."
Looking at the screen, Saiba Joichiro congratulated Hoshino Tani Ren: "Compared to your son, my silly boy isn't doing so well."
"You can't say that. Soma Yukihira has always worked hard, hasn't he? He never shows fear no matter who his opponent is. That's a very rare quality."
Hoshino Tani Ren said with a hearty laugh, his gaze fixed on Hoshino Sora on the screen, his face beaming with pride. His son truly surpassed him!
At least at his age, he definitely couldn't reach this level, even if he had gone to Oriental Academy. It seemed that respecting his choice was the correct decision.
"Hoshino Sora is the finest uncut jade in our academy, and Soma Yukihira is also excellent, a very fine piece of uncut jade."
Hearing the conversation between the two fathers, Nakitiri Senzaemon also nodded in agreement. That kid had an ambiguous relationship with his granddaughter, and in his heart, Hoshino Sora was already his grandson-in-law.
Or rather, his great-grandson-in-law? Never mind, both of his only descendants were taken by the other party, so the title no longer mattered. However, if they had children in the future, Erina's children must take the Nakitiri surname.
After all, there was still a family to continue, and those with different surnames could not inherit the family. These were all very normal things. He had also discussed this with Hoshino Sora before, and the other party had no objections.
As for asking Hoshino Sora to change his surname, the other party had always opposed it, and he couldn't force him.
Logically speaking, the Nakitiri surname held great prestige in the business, political, and culinary worlds. Hoshino Sora should have been grateful to change his surname.
But nothing is absolute. It was clear that the kid had no need for such empty titles.

"Alright, the showdown in this venue is about to begin."
"Let me introduce you. On the left is Mo Huang from Huaxia's Oriental Academy, currently ranked in the top one hundred of the Oriental Cuisine List!
Her opponent is Yumeko Jabami, the current Third Seat of the Far Moon Academy's Elite Ten."
This time, the competition took place in a brightly lit indoor venue, with spectators watching from the second floor. The judge was a dark-skinned, curly-haired woman, who had replaced Rantobi.
"It is an honor to meet you, Yumeko Jabami. You are truly beautiful, with skin as smooth as white jade, large eyes, a high nose, and an excellent figure. To be able to compete against a chef like you, I do not feel disadvantaged.
However, even so, I will not hold back in this match."
Looking at the youthful, beautiful, and exceptionally well-figured Yumeko Jabami before her, Mo Huang's eyes lit up, and she spoke with a hint of flirtatiousness. Although her sexual orientation was normal, she particularly adored beautiful women.
Her favorite pastime was to lie in their arms and act spoiled, and she had several beautiful female friends.
Undoubtedly, Yumeko Jabami perfectly met her standards for beauty. Everyone appreciates beauty, and she would naturally be gentler when dealing with such a lovely girl.
"The pleasure is all mine! I also want to see how powerful a chef from the ancient land of Huaxia truly is!"
"I will show you how powerful I am~"
The red glow in her eyes intensified. Looking at Mo Huang, who also possessed an impressive figure, the chef from the ancient land of Huaxia must be incredibly strong! She would be the perfect appetizer before her match with Hoshino-kun!
"The theme is 'young chicken meat.' Now, please, both chefs, begin your cooking!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, the dark-skinned judge spoke. After she finished, she retreated to the other judges' side to wait.
"Young chicken? An unexpectedly simple theme. Then I'll make that dish. The ingredients here are quite complete."
Looking at the ingredients on site, Mo Huang pondered for a moment, quickly finding her answer. She then turned to look at Yumeko Jabami, who had also begun moving at the same time Mo Huang decided on her dish.
"Hmph."
