On the fifth day of BLUE, at dawn, Hoshino Sora's match was the last one.
Watching Erina Nakiri, who had just won and was walking off the stage with a heroic demeanor, he, who was descending from the audience, high-fived her.
"Don't lose," Erina Nakiri whispered in Hoshino Sora's ear.
"I'll definitely win, I promise."
With a simple conversation, Hoshino Sora had already arrived at the competition venue.
Looking at the young man in the fedora hat in front of him, he rarely showed a serious expression.
"Hoshino, Chief, I haven't formally introduced myself yet.
I'm Saiba Asahi, a member of Noir.
It's an honor to compete with you."
Looking at Hoshino Sora, who was close at hand, Saiba Asahi bowed very politely, but the unusual light flickering in his eyes made it impossible to guess his thoughts.
"Hoshino Sora."
In response, Hoshino Sora didn't say much unnecessary words, simply stating his name as a reply, then stood still, waiting for the match to begin.
"How cold you are.
After all, we were once teacher and student.
This is a rare opportunity, how about we make a bet?"
Hoshino Sora remained silent.
He couldn't muster any good feelings for this self-important, arrogant man in front of him, nor did he want to waste his breath talking about irrelevant things with him.
"To be honest, I really like Princess Erina.
I wonder if you'd be willing to part with her and give her to me.
You know, the God Tongue is the strongest talent in the culinary world, and Princess Erina is also the strongest female chef.
And the strongest woman in the culinary world naturally deserves the strongest man in the culinary world.
How about it?
We'll use Princess Erina as the stake.
Whoever wins gets to marry her.
You should know that the God Tongue is terrifying.
In the future, as the God Tongue continues to evolve, Princess Erina's demands for cuisine will become higher and higher.
Perhaps you can satisfy her now, but what about in the future?
While the God Tongue is revered as a treasure in the culinary world, it is also the Nakitiri Family's curse.
The later it gets, the higher the demands for cuisine become.
Even a tiny mistake will be infinitely magnified until she can no longer eat anything at all.
Only I, only my Crossed Knives, can combine two ingredients to create thousands of combinations, thus reaching a new world of taste!
Only a chef like me can satisfy the growing demands of the God Tongue!"
Looking at Hoshino Sora, Saiba Asahi said mockingly with open arms, a hint of madness in his eyes, and his words made Erina Nakiri in the audience look displeased.
What was this?
Inciting discord?!
"Impossible."
Hoshino Sora shook his head.
No matter how flowery his words were, he had no intention of agreeing.
"What? Are you scared?
The esteemed Far Moon First Seat is actually afraid of a fringe chef like me."
Hearing Hoshino Sora's immediate refusal, Saiba Asahi mocked him again with a sneer.
This was his only chance to prove his strength and obtain Princess Erina!
Looking at Erina Nakiri, who had a somewhat displeased expression in the audience, Saiba Asahi's eyes revealed a hint of desire.
Only such a perfect woman could be worthy of him.
Just wait, once he won, he would request the Special Executive to marry Erina to him!
