In a kitchen at the Far Moon Resort.

The kitchen is filled with the faint aroma of ingredients, and various kitchen utensils are neatly arranged, waiting for the owner to use them.

However, Erina did not immediately show a satisfied smile.

She picked up her chopsticks.

Gently pick up a small piece of sashimi and put it in your mouth.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he began to savor the taste of the fish slices.

The tender texture spread across her tongue, and the delicious flavor instantly filled her entire mouth, but her brows gradually furrowed.

"Ugh!"

She was taken aback.

Then, he sighed with particular helplessness.

That sigh contained endless disappointment and resentment.

……

In fact.

During the accommodation-based training program.

She would almost always take some of her spare time to hide in the kitchen alone and keep making the dishes that Lin Xu had made before.

She was completely absorbed in each dish, as if she poured her soul into it.

She pondered each step repeatedly.

He tried different seasoning combinations and cooking techniques, all in order to make dishes as delicious as Lin Xu's.

However, no matter what she did, she could never reach Lin Xu's level.

Even with her divine tongue, she can remember the taste of any dish she has ever tasted and accurately analyze the ingredients and seasonings.

The only thing she could never fully appreciate was Lin Xu's cooking.

Lin Xu's cooking!

It's like a mysterious treasure.

It hides endless mysteries, and the deeper she explores, the more unfathomable it seems.

"Erina."

Just as Erina was lost in thought.

Behind her, however, came the voice of Alice Nakiri.

The sound was crisp and pleasant, but to Erina, it sounded like a piercing alarm.

Erina's brows furrowed instantly, a surge of frustration rising within her. She silently complained: Why? Ever since this cousin came to Totsuki, she's been practically inseparable from me.

Yes, she's like an inescapable shadow, always appearing when she least wants to be disturbed!

Left with no other choice, Erina could only turn around and glance at Alice.

Her eyes held a hint of displeasure, and her tone was slightly sarcastic: "200 breakfasts, and you've sold them all?"

"Ok!"

Alice nodded in agreement, a confident smile on her face.

She certainly took Erina's sarcasm to heart.

But she didn't care at all; instead, she curiously fixed her gaze on the sea bream sashimi on the table.

She began by asking, "Why did you all suddenly..."

"Why are you eating sashimi?"

"Because I want to surpass Lin Xu, I have to replicate his dishes!"

Erina glanced at Alice and replied indifferently.

"Oh!"

Alice nodded.

Finally, her eyes flickered, as if she had realized something.

Starry.

Like a dazzling gem set on silk, it shimmers with a cool and captivating light.
