after all
Why did Hisako have to drag her to read a romance manga about a teacher and student?
"Okay, Erina-san."
Aoba nodded helplessly.
"Mr. Nakiri, Ms. Shinto, what would you like to eat?"
"Aoba-kun, could you make me a plate of tofu with tofu?"
Senzaemon smiled and slowly walked to the table and sat down.
His somewhat burly figure made him look like a seated silver lion as he sat there.
The egg tofu he ordered was also a very simple dish for treating trauma.
Like tempura, it is a dish that has become popular in this country.
"Ok."
Aoba nodded and then looked at Hisako.
The girl's eyes were now clearly beginning to show a hint of shyness.
"Mr. Aoba, I'd like an omelet rice."
"what?!"
Before Aoba could respond, Erina, who was standing next to him, seemed somewhat surprised.
"Hisako, aren't you afraid of gaining weight eating all this tonight?"
"Hmm? I'd also like to try some of the manager's different dishes."
Hisako blushed and lowered her head.
Erina didn't suspect anything because of his weak and easily bullied appearance.
In addition, the thought of coming here at night made her and Hisako eat almost nothing during the day.
After eating Aoba's dishes, I had no interest in eating anything else.
The last one is Erina Nakiri.
Under Aoba's gaze, she finally said, somewhat awkwardly, what she wanted to eat.
"I want...that."
Her gaze fell on the flower cake on the table in Kasumigaoka.
Flower cake?
Kasumigaoka seemed very sensitive to Erina's gaze. When she saw Erina looking over, she immediately snorted and turned her head away.
"Okay, please take a seat. And please wait a moment."
Aoba turned around and went into the kitchen.
Senzaemon and the other two sat in a row.
Senzaemon closed his eyes and didn't say anything, Erina had a complicated expression, and Hisako was full of anticipation.
Each of the three had their own thoughts.
But it has nothing to do with Aoba.
He was currently concentrating on preparing food for the three of them.
Take the egg tofu out of the freezer; it's a very special kind of tofu.
Although it is called tofu, it is actually made from eggs.
Contains no soy at all.
They're all bottled before they come back; you just need to slice them when you're making them.
The simplest way to make egg tofu is simply to slice and cut it.
This is the most popular way to eat it.
Since Senzaemon did not ask for any other conditions, it meant he tacitly agreed to this approach.
The knife slid in as if sliding in, and slices of egg tofu were formed.
Each piece is only half a finger thick, with no error at all.
If Aoba were to practice kendo now, he would likely pick it up very quickly.
After all, the way Japanese kendo is used is not that different from the way a kitchen knife is used.
After cutting the egg tofu, coat it with flour.
If you don’t coat it with flour, the skin will be fried until it is burnt, and the original taste of the tamagoyaki tofu will be lost.
Aoba completed these steps efficiently.
After coating them in flour, the next step is to deep-fry them.

"So, what is your purpose in coming to District 20?"
The petite figure that emerged from the shell of the Hellman looked at the purple-haired figure opposite her.
"I just want to come here to have some coffee and read a novel, is that not allowed?"
The purple-haired figure sighed softly and took off his glasses.
Those captivating eyes instantly turned red.
Why do you have to keep an eye on me?
"Even if the mother body, chosen by the Washuu family, escapes to the 20th district, what can she do?"
The petite girl mocked herself.
"We were born ghouls, that can't be changed. Even if you escape to Anteiku, those guys won't let you go!"
"So what?"
"How about it? That izakaya next to the main street... you should be familiar with it, right?"
boom! ! !
The words fell.
Several terrifying red scales shot out, aiming directly at the opponent's eyes.
"So, what do you want to do?"
"The Washuu family has been watching you closely. You wiped out the ghoul organization in Ward 11 in a high-profile manner, and then rushed to Anteiku without stopping. What do you think they will associate this with?"
"..."
"I'm going to start a new organization in District 11, called... Bronze Tree. Your joining might help them relax their nerves."
Chapter 35 Rize Kamishiro: What do you think I want to eat?
Zila——!
When the flour-covered egg tofu is put into the oil pan, its snow-white surface is immediately dyed with a layer of golden color.
Tiny oil droplets rose and then dispersed.
The batter on the outside of the overloaded egg tofu gradually becomes crispy.
With a gentle push of chopsticks, the crispy side of the green leaf will be facing up.
The golden tofu began to tumble and roll in the oil.
Along with the sizzling sound of the oil, a fragrance also spread.
Baking, frying, and deep-frying are cooking methods that allow the aroma of ingredients to be released most directly.
The fragrance wafting in the air at this moment is like a majestic general riding a warhorse and sweeping across the land.
Straightforward and turbulent.
Senzaemon opened his eyes, which had been closed.
Ruili's bright eyes were filled with anticipation and solemnity.
His full attention was now focused on Aoba and the dishes prepared by his staff.
Hisako Shirato also looked at Aoba with admiration.
From Aoba's luminous dish last night to his eloquent discussion of the Food Wars system today.
Including what I did with Aoba in the train carriage today.
Unknowingly.
The girl had developed a faint sense of admiration for Aoba.
Erina Nakiri's expression was even more conflicted and complicated.
I was clearly captivated by the fragrance, but I had to try my best to pretend I didn't care.
This is a very painful ordeal.
Everything she had experienced in the past constantly reminded her that there was no need for ordinary people's cuisine to exist.
But Aoba was able to break this curse time and time again.
Kasumigaoka's way of expressing his feelings at the moment was simple.
"It smells so good!"
Two very concise words.
In the kitchen, Aoba had already plated the egg tofu.
Not many, only six pieces.
