Chapter 1577: The Gap in Capture Level!
"We used their ingredients, and now they've learned our cooking skills?"
Saiba Joichiro stared deeply at the Dragon Salmon sashimi and sushi on the plate.
Azami Nakiri said, "It was bound to happen sooner or later, but I didn't expect them to figure it out during the Shokugeki. As expected of the President of the Chef Association."
He then looked at his daughter, whose gaze was gradually becoming clear again.
"How is it? Who do you think won?"
This mother and daughter pair, possessing the God's Tongue, had this peculiar trait, whether good or bad.
Every time they ate delicious food that they found tasty, they would be pulled into a self-imagined illusion, forcefully controlled for several seconds to over ten seconds.
It was even possible for them to have their clothes burst off on the spot due to the Nakiri Family's inherited ability, leaving them naked.
And if they wished, they could make everyone around them burst their clothes off and become naked as well.
Truly, it was better to be awkward together than awkward alone.
If everyone was awkward, then it wasn't awkward anymore.
Of course, most of the time, they had the ability of self-control.
Only when encountering dishes of extremely high quality would they lose control.
The problem was that every dish in this World Shokugeki was top-tier.
So Nakiri Mana and Nakiri Erina were also having a difficult time.
After all, they didn't want their clothes to burst off and provide a feast for countless eyes.
Nakiri Mana was slightly better; Charlotte Linlin could help her suppress the Transmission Pulse.
While Nakiri Erina could only grit her teeth and suppress her active mental power by herself.
From this perspective, both she and her mother needed to undergo professional mental power cultivation, or improve their willpower.
Hearing Azami Nakiri ask Nakiri Erina.
Saiba Joichiro, Yukihira Soma, and Asahi Nakiri all turned their gaze towards her.
After all, the God's Tongue was the most perfect judge ability.
In fact, everyone initially thought Nakiri Erina should be a judge, and the chef quota should be given to Gin Dojima.
He and Saiba Joichiro were both graduates of Totsuki Academy's 69th class, and he was the First Seat of the Ten with the highest score since the school's founding.
And together with Saiba Joichiro, he was called the Golden Generation.
He was currently a member of Totsuki Academy's board of directors and the head chef of Totsuki Resort.
He definitely had the qualification to become one of the chefs representing the country's highest level.
But at Nakiri Erina's sincere request, he agreed to give up the position.
"Purely in terms of taste, they are evenly matched. One made me a red shrimp on a plate under a Shura blade in a sea of fire purgatory."
"That feeling of being burned, being cut, yet incredibly exhilarating, wanting the torment to be even more intense, and finally the warm feeling all over my body, I still remember it vividly."
Nakiri Erina looked with lingering fear at the boiled red demon shrimp seafood Shura rice meal tray that had just been eaten but not yet cleaned.
Then her beautiful eyes turned to the 'Dragon Salmon Boat-Served Sushi' and the Dragon Salmon Mellow Roasted Sushi in front of her.
"And they first made me see a terrifying tsunami a hundred meters high, then I was swept into the deep sea ten thousand meters down by the surging impact force, seeing hundreds of schools of fish shaped like dragons, shimmering with silver light."
"Finally, I 'saw' a large tree radiating radiance, dispelling all darkness on the seabed, and also saw a giant bubble floating mid-air beside the tree."
"Inside that bubble was a city where countless fish-men and mermaid race lived, and I also became a mermaid playing in it."
As Nakiri Erina spoke, her thoughts fell into memory, and she murmured to herself.
That scene and that feeling were simply too real and too wonderful.
Azami Nakiri, Saiba Joichiro, Yukihira Soma, and Asahi Nakiri exchanged glances.
They were already used to it.
Every time she ate cuisine, she would always describe strange scenes.
For example, gorillas soaking in hot springs, or swallows diving headfirst into the earth.
And the more delicious or the more terrible it was, the richer and stranger the description became.
"You can't tell the victory or defeat either? It seems we have to wait for the review," Yukihira Soma said, crossing his arms over his chest.
"No, I can tell!"
Nakiri Erina shook her head, then looked at the seven judges who were still tasting the cuisine.
Especially her mother.
That gaze, that expression, that look, it was clear she hadn't returned from Fish-Man Island yet.
She was probably still playing and splashing with those beautiful mermaids in the illusion.
Nakiri Erina, who had experienced it deeply, could understand.
It was indeed joyful!
Yukihira Soma was very doubtful: "Why? Didn't you say the taste was evenly matched?"
"But the gap in ingredients is too obvious," Nakiri Erina said softly.
"There's nothing complicated about the opponent's two dishes. The sashimi is simply processed with exquisite knife skills, at most supplemented with sea salt, soy sauce, and wasabi."
"The fish meat slices on the sushi are also simply roasted to bring out the fragrance, but the moment they enter the mouth, they can erupt with a tsunami-like texture."
"The key lies in the fish itself. Its level as an ingredient far surpasses all the ingredients on the seafood rice side, including red demon shrimp and Saint Jacques scallop."
"This is still with Uncle Saiba Joichiro choosing those otherworld vegetables as side dishes; otherwise, the gap would be even larger!"
"And the opponent very cleverly chose the method that best utilizes the fish meat's inherent advantage, which is sashimi and sushi."
"Of course, it also has some relation to President Zeff's ability to master imbuing soul into dishes and elevating deliciousness during the match."
"It's just a pity that his level in this area isn't mature enough. If he could reach our level and completely excavate the potential of this fish..."
"Honestly, this Shokugeki had no suspense at all, and I didn't need to be conflicted at all, but... I still think this dish is slightly better. I'm sorry, Uncle Saiba Joichiro."
Nakiri Erina looked at Saiba Joichiro and said softly.
And just as her voice fell.
Over there, Charlotte Linlin and Nakiri Mana also pressed the red button or blue button following Host An's prompt.
Charlotte Linlin, blue light, lit up!
Minister Molotov of the Foreign Affairs Department, red light, lit up!
With the taste being evenly matched, he preferred the spicy 'Red Demon Shrimp Seafood Rice'.
As for the gap in ingredients, well, he couldn't taste it.
After all, not everyone had the God's Tongue.
Hobson, Minister of the Otherworld War Committee Judiciary Department, blue light, lit up!
He didn't really like spicy food and usually liked eating sashimi.
Minister West of the Shokugeki World Government Branch, after being conflicted for a few seconds, still lit up the red light.
He mainly couldn't tell which was better and finally chose the one that left a deeper impression.
The intense spiciness of the Red Demon Shrimp Seafood Rice was indeed more stimulating.
As a result, the four judges from the World Government side were tied at two to two.
The victory or defeat would now depend on the three judges from the Shokugeki World.
[Snap!]
Nakiri Mana pressed the blue button without hesitation, making the same choice as her daughter.
If you ask why, it's because the feeling of being a mermaid was too awesome!
And she, who also possessed the God's Tongue, also discovered the incredible aspects of the Dragon Salmon.
It was truly the first time she had eaten fish that was so captivating just from the ingredient itself.
But she couldn't specifically describe this feeling.
If there was a chef from the Gourmet Hunter World present, they could understand it clearly.
In fact, it was because the Dragon Salmon's capture level was much higher than ordinary ingredients, and even the vegetables and fruits from the Magical Plant Series.
This situation was common sense in the Gourmet Hunter World.
But in this Shokugeki World, it left people completely perplexed.
Because they simply couldn't understand that there existed ingredients in the world that didn't require any cuisine at all.
Ingredients that could be several times, or even dozens of times, more delicious than the dishes they made with full strength.
This time, the Dragon Salmon from Sea Star allowed them to gain a little knowledge.
President Gordon of WGO Headquarters, blue light, lit up!
Prime Minister Tagawa Shiwei of their country, red light, lit up!
The final result was four to three.
Ramsay, Zeff, Thatch team, victory!
They finally managed to win a round.
It's just that Jessica and Thatch failed and would not be able to serve as head chef next.
And the opponent also painfully lost Admiral Saiba Joichiro...
