Food Wars: Life Cookbook

Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was Erina Nakiri's birthday.

Dojima An gave her his birthday gift, a [Chinese pastry]. For this pastry, Dojima An used the molecular cuisine he learned to enhance the dishes. It really made the appearance beautiful and the inside different.

In addition, Dojima An also gave a set of [Jingdezhen porcelain]. As a gift.

Today's Nakiri family can be said to be very lively. A bunch of merchants and restaurants that have dealings with the Nakiri family sent people to congratulate. As for the reason, it is also very simple. After this birthday, Erina Nakiri will gradually get in touch with the family's business. Moreover, the eldest lady of Totsuki is finally going back to her loyal Totsuki Academy.

The complicated interpersonal communication continued until the evening. Even Dojima An could only sit in the inner room with Dojima Gin and wait for the end of these interpersonal communication.

After dinner, Dojima An waited for the opportunity to be alone with Erina Nakiri. Seeing the tired Erina Nakiri, An Dojima decided to make a quick decision.

So, An Dojima invited Erina Nakiri. Five days later, he wanted to treat Erina Nakiri to a late meal.

Erina Nakiri didn't know what she thought of, and she agreed with a blushing face.

An Dojima was also happy like a fool.

After returning to Totsuki, An Dojima began his preparations. He planned to cook a dish that belonged only to Erina Nakiri.

An Dojima began to prepare. The first thing was to decide on the menu. Appetizer, soup, side dish, main dish, vegetable, dessert, drink. Plus a cake.

He decided to use a combination of molecular cuisine and traditional cuisine to prepare this meaningful meal.

Recalling the conversation with Gin Dojima some time ago.

"After enduring the impact of Yukihira Joichiro's will, did you realize the gap between yourself and the special chef?" Dojima Gin asked Dojima An his question.

Dojima An recalled the feeling that day, and the whole person was swept up by the chef's will. He only felt a strong will asking him to keep eating. He was completely unaware of his own thoughts. He was immersed in the illusion woven by the chef.

"Is it the will?" Dojima An replied.

Dojima Gin smiled with relief. Sure enough, this kind of thing beyond common sense should be felt by yourself to know.

"Some people are born with such abilities. They are not affected by the level of cooking, and they can let diners feel the beauty of cooking by relying on their own innate willpower."

"Similarly, some chefs cannot condense this will throughout their lives. So no matter how high their skills are, they will be rejected by the special door." Dojima Gin said seriously.

"Then if I realize this, does it mean that I have a chance to become a special chef?" Dojima An asked.

After hearing what Dojima An said, Dojima Gin smiled even happier. "You can realize this, which only means you have a chance. As for whether you can succeed, it depends on whether your will is strong enough. Some people may take decades from discovery to success."

The memories end here. Dojima An thought about what he would do in a few days. His heart beat faster.

Dojima An clenched his hands on his chest, as if he wanted to catch his beating heart. "Love?"

The scenes that happened with Erina Nakiri all came to his mind. The curiosity and heartache when they first met. The innocence and liveliness after getting along. Thinking back to Erina Nakiri's purple eyes. Dojima An's heart beat faster.

He stood in front of the cooking table and began to remember this feeling. He wanted to engrave this feeling in his heart. Little by little, without missing a single bit. He thought, since he didn't know how to express his feelings, he would use food to convey them. Although it was weak. But as long as he put the feelings he wanted to express into the food. He believed that Erina Nakiri would definitely respond to him.

After calming down, Dojima An also thought about the dishes to be made. The next issue was the venue.

At this time, the role of having a good relationship with the teacher was reflected. Dojima An directly asked the teacher for approval. A classroom with a kitchen and a dining room was approved.

Dojima An began his own arrangement. To be honest, as a single dog born from two lives, Dojima An had no idea what to do for his first confession. He could only follow the experience learned from the Internet to set up the table, prepare balloons, flowers, and buy gifts.

When Dojima An felt that everything was almost ready. It was already dark.

There are still 3 days before Dojima An's confession.

Early the next morning, Dojima An ran to find Eiyama Ezuya.

Eiyama Ezuya was very surprised by Dojima An's arrival. During this period of time, Dojima An and Eiyama Ezuya have become closer. Looking at the long list of dishes handed over by Dojima An. Eiyama Ezuya fellHe fell into deep thought.

"Don't tell me that you, the Dojima family, can't get these things? Not to mention the Nakiri family." Eizan Ezu also didn't understand what Dojima An was going to do.

"Don't worry about it. The Nakiri family can't know what we want this time. We have to keep it a surprise." Dojima An explained.

Eizan Ezu thought about it and suddenly said, "Congratulations! Are you finally going to confess?" Although it was a question, the tone was very firm.

After going through so much trouble to bypass the Nakiri family, it was obvious that it was prepared for Nakiri Erina.

Dojima An just smiled and didn't say anything.

Eizan Ezu saw that Dojima An had no intention of answering. He shrugged and said, "I'll send it to the restaurant for you tomorrow. I guarantee it's all fresh."

Dojima An walked away with satisfaction after getting the answer.

At this time, there were still 2 days before Dojima An's confession.

In his mind, An Dojima was rehearsing the recipe and what he was going to say to Erina Nakiri.

On the day of the confession, early in the morning, Isshiki Hui and Kuga Teruki were pulled over by An Dojima to work as laborers. Brothers are used at this time.

In this way, Isshiki Hui and Kuga Teruki worked as laborers for An Dojima for a day. They helped to deal with the side dishes and the layout of the restaurant.

An Dojima's heart was beating fast at this time. He also kept Isshiki Hui as a waiter for the evening.

Is everything ready? Is there anything missing? An Dojima's mind was churning. He kept asking himself, are you really ready? Have you really decided? Can you take responsibility?

No matter how many times he asked himself, the answer in his heart was the same.

Yes, I am ready, today.

When An Dojima tried to pick up the kitchen knife, he found that his hands were shaking. This was the first time in his many years of cooking career.

Looking at the slightly trembling hands in front of him, An Dojima's heart was shaking.

But now, the arrow is on the string and has to be shot.

Just then, Isshiki Hui knocked on the kitchen door in a waiter's uniform. He came to inform Dojima An that another protagonist of the day had arrived.
