Volume 1: Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma and Orario Chapter 022 The Importance of Thoughts
Emiya sighed and grabbed Loki, "Calm down, Loki, this kid is scared by you, let's put aside the recruitment and the like, let's evaluate first, don't forget our responsibilities today."
Loki grabbed Tansho Kei's hand and was unwilling to let go, saying, "What are you still judging? Kei is the cutest child in the world."
"We are evaluating cooking skills, not appearance, you old... cough cough." Emiya coughed a few times quickly, and he almost said the three words LSP.
"In short, it's cooking, cooking."
Loki said impatiently: "Even if it's about cooking skills, it's Xiaohui's victory."
Emiya turned to look at the others, "What do you think?"
Teacher Cat said: "I think Four Eyes is more powerful."
Shinomiya Kojiro: ...
If it was Inui Hinatako who said he was a four-eyed boy, he would definitely give that guy a good beating, but since the person who said this was a big monster, he decided to admit it. It's just a four-eyed boy, nothing big.
Natsume Takashi said slowly: "Although the dishes that Mr. Shinomiya Kojiro mentioned are very delicious, I did receive Ms. Tadokoro's kindness, so I want to vote for Ms. Tadokoro."
C said indifferently: "Since Natsume wants to vote for that little girl, I will vote for that little girl too."
Kojiro Shinomiya's heart suddenly rose. He didn't expect that three people would vote for Tadokoro Megumi. Could it be that he was really going to lose to a student?
And what the hell is intention?
Emiya looked at Suzumiya Haruhi, who was a little confused, "What Mr. Shinomiya and Tian made was delicious, it seems difficult to vote for them."
"So what are you thinking about?"
"Forget it, I'll just vote for Mr. Shinomiya." said Haruhi Suzumiya.
"Decided?"
"Decided."
Emiya nodded and looked at Erina Nakiri again, "What do you think, Erina?"
Nakiri Erina said without hesitation: "I vote for Shinomiya-senpai."
Emiya couldn't help but click his tongue a few times. He originally thought that this would be a one-sided match, but he didn't expect it to become a 3-3 situation.
Loki, Natsume Takashi, and Bing chose Tanomo Megumi.
Neko-sensei, Haruhi Suzumiya, and Erina Nakiri chose Shinomiya.
As a result, the most crucial vote fell into his hands.
According to Emiya's idea, he really wanted to vote for Shinomiya Kojiro. After all, the other party's cooking was indeed more delicious than Tadokoro Megumi's.
However, Loki spoke up, "Emiya-kun, I order you in the name of the goddess to vote for Xiaohui."
"Loki, you are abusing your power."
"What does it matter? I am your God. Do you want to disobey me?"
Emiya didn't know whether to laugh or cry. At this moment, he suddenly saw Shinomiya Kojiro and said, "Mr. Shinomiya, you must be confused. Your food is obviously more delicious. Why is the competition not one-sided, but has become like this?"
Shinomiya Kojiro didn't dare to refute, but nodded.
But he held his breath in his heart.
Especially the big monster named Bing, he didn’t care about the dishes he cooked at all, but just because Natsume voted for Tanadore Megumi, he also voted for Tanadore Megumi.
This kind of person is not qualified to be a referee at all.
Emiya said, "If you come up and try the rainbow-style French jelly made by Megumi Tadokoro, you will know how important the thought is to some people."
Kojiro Shinomiya was stunned for a moment, but still walked over, picked up the knife and fork, cut a piece of the colorful jelly made by Megumi Tadokoro, and put it into his mouth.
Then he found out a bunch of problems, like the food was not cooked enough, the presentation was mediocre, the fillings were not well mixed, etc.
But as he spoke, Shinomiya Kojiro started crying.
When Emiya saw this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that he would end this food battle in the way described in the plot.
"Now you should understand, for some people, the thought is very ordinary, even not worth mentioning, but for some people, the thought is very important. Am I right, Loki?"
"Of course." Loki said calmly, "How many delicious foods do you think I have eaten in heaven? How can the cooking skills of humans, which have been specialized for only a few decades, be compared with those of the gods who have been specialized for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years?"
"Even a dwarf's cooking skills are much better than humans'. After eating so many delicious foods, the thought behind it is undoubtedly the most important thing to me."
When Emiya heard this, he couldn't help but complain: "Don't always criticize Goddess Hestia. She is the Goddess of the Kitchen after all. The cooking skills of ordinary gods don't have to be as good as hers."
"Ha, which clan are you from? Why are you speaking for that dwarf?" Loki looked unhappy.
"I'm just speaking the truth."
"You've been speaking for him all this time. Are you planning to defect to Hestia?"
"You think too much. If I had wanted to, I would not have joined your clan."
"That's true. After all, I am the most powerful Familiar in Orario. How can a dwarf who eats for free in Hephaestus' Familia compare to my Familia?"
"Eat dry rice, so the Hestia Familia has not been established yet?"
Emiya remembered that after Hestia descended to the mortal world, she did not immediately establish a family. This was mainly because she descended too late and the labyrinth city of Orario already had too many families.
So no one was willing to join her family. After all, compared with the existing families, Hestia's family could be said to be extremely poor.
If you join the Hestia family, you must start from scratch.
Therefore, most people would choose a mature clan to join.
Even the male protagonist Bell did not go for Hestia's Familia at first. Instead, he met Hestia after being rejected by almost all the Families. At the invitation of the other party, he joined Hestia's Familia.
Of course, this is all later.
Hestia, who had just descended to the mortal world, was unable to establish her own family, and her divine power was sealed, so she had no way to support herself. In the end, she could only live with her friend Hephaestus, and eventually became a parasite.
Later, Hephaestus couldn't stand it anymore, and finally kicked Hestia out and left her to fend for herself.
It was under such circumstances that she met the male protagonist who was also rejected by all the clans.
Then, the plot officially begins.
But what surprised Emiya was that Hestia is still a parasite in Hephaestus's house. Doesn't this mean that the plot has not yet begun?
