Chapter 246: The Banquet Commences (1)

"It truly lives up to its name as the 'Cosmic Dumpling!'"

After uttering these words, Dojima opened his eyes once again.

"As expected from the chef recommended by Chief Nakiri, your culinary skills have reached impressive heights!"

"But thanks to your dish, I now have a deeper impression of that level." At the end of his words, Dojima's tone also carried a hint of excitement.

Hearing this, the kitchen assistants and graduates exchanged glances.

Why does it sound like Dojima-senpai lost?!

Indeed, in this small competition, Dojima did lose, but he surely didn't mind.

Firstly, tasting such a delicious dish is a win in itself, and secondly, this dish has given him a deeper impression of the level he's about to reach, stepping into Level 5's peak.

Looking at the generously-sized giant dumpling in front of him, Dojima waved to the kitchen assistants and graduates.

"Come, try it. Although that level is still far for you guys, it's still beneficial."

Hearing this, the graduates' eyes lit up.

They have been curious about this dish that even Dojima-senpai praised.

Holding chopsticks and plates, they followed Dojima's example, taking a bite from one place and then moving to another, revolving around the dumpling.

"Mmm, every bite brings a new flavor. This feels so wonderful."

"Yeah, it turns the act of tasting into a game full of surprises. It's so interesting."

"It's like freely swimming in the radiant Milky Way!"

The praises from the graduates tasting the Cosmic Dumpling were constant and unceasing.

Even Hinako and the others, who were among the top graduates, had expressions of pure enjoyment at this moment.

Even Shinomiya couldn't help but display an admiring expression.

"Really impressive. Despite using various types of meat fillings, they don't stand independently; instead, there's a tendency to blend. Even with the fusion of various fillings, they haven't lost the distinct characteristics of each part. Truly commendable culinary skills."

Wasn't that night still not his full effort?

At this moment, Shinomiya gazes at Hachiman with a somewhat complex expression, but he hasn't lost his confidence. He believes he can catch up to Hachiman's culinary skills.

"So, Dojima-senpai, it's settled. For tonight's celebration feast, you'll make three servings of your Ninefold Secret Lamb Leg." Standing beside Dojima, Hachiman smiled and spoke.

"Ah, that's certainly not a problem. It's just three dishes." Dojima nodded indifferently.

"But Hikigaya-kun, you have to make a hundred dishes, you know. Making a hundred portions of your Cosmic Dumpling isn't easy." In the end, his tone revealed a hint of schadenfreude.

Hearing Dojima's words, Hachiman felt a bit speechless.

Didn't expect this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes to have such a mentality. But do you think I'd be afraid? Too naive. I'll show you what real skill is in a while.

"Dojima-senpai, rest assured. Just a hundred portions of dishes, and I'm very confident in my stamina." Hachiman smiled slightly.

"Alright, I'll look forward to it then." Dojima said.

With the deal settled, Hachiman didn't delay any further. It was already close to six o'clock, and the celebration feast was expected to begin at seven-thirty. He had less than two hours left.

In the astonished expressions of the surrounding graduates, Hachiman seemed like he could clone himself, appearing everywhere. Whether it was kneading the dough or preparing the fillings, he was like an octopus with eight arms, moving fluidly and captivating everyone with his seamless actions.

One serving, two servings, three servings...

In less than an hour, Hachiman had wrapped over forty large dumplings. However, considering the tight schedule, these dumplings were slightly smaller, measuring around forty to fifty centimeters. But even so, the workload was quite astonishing.

Watching Hachiman, who showed no signs of fatigue, Dojima, roasting lamb legs on the other side, wore a wry smile, recalling what Erina had said earlier.

Indeed, he's a monster...

As time passed bit by bit, it quickly approached the scheduled time for the celebration feast.

At this moment, all the qualified students gathered once again in the grand hall.

The students, filled with unease, naturally engaged in various discussions. The residents of Polar Star Dorm also assembled.

"What's going on this time?"

"There's no explanation in the guidebook."

"Could this unfold be another surprise like this morning?!"

Just then, Dojima, dressed in a suit, stepped onto the platform.

"Alright, I believe everyone is here."

"Before delving into the main topic, let me share a few words."

Holding the microphone, Dojima's deep and resonant voice reverberated in the hall.

"Presently, 456 students have been eliminated, leaving 546."

"While it might sound severe, this training mirrors the essence of the culinary profession."

"In the face of the unknown, maintaining composure, frequent dialogue with ingredients, and the pressure intensifies when aspiring to become a head chef. You must endure nights plagued by anxiety and hesitation, handle various emergencies, and devise ways to turn the situation around."

"The culinary profession is akin to wandering alone in the howling wilderness. The pursuit of perfection makes the journey tougher. The goal becomes more elusive, and you might find yourself stagnant on the mountaintop or even losing your way back."

"However, I hope you remember one thing. At Totsuki, you have companions wandering in the wilderness with you. This should be encouraging for those starting the journey alone."

"I sincerely wish you all the best!"

"Now, without further ado, let's proceed to the final stage of this training!" With that, Dojima paused.

"Here it comes, here it comes!"

"I'm going to be eliminated, right?"

"..."

Hearing this, the students expressed their terror, some even wearing looks of despair as they had indeed reached their limits. If there were further assessments, they would undoubtedly be eliminated. However, more displayed expressions of refusing to give up.

Observing this scene, Dojima's expression softened.

"The final stage is a small celebration marking the end of the training."

"You will now taste a full feast composed by the graduate chefs. I announce to the 546 surviving students: Congratulations on completing all the tasks of this residential training!"

"Now, please enjoy to your heart's content!"

Chapter 247: The Banquet Commences (2)

"Please savor this banquet to your heart's content!"

As Dojima's words reverberated through the hall, the students erupted in excited voices.

"This is fantastic, we've made it through."

"And we get to indulge in a complete meal prepared by the graduates. It's so luxurious."

"This is probably something only we in the world can experience. Surviving feels so good."

"I'm going to eat away all the hardships of these past few days."

Students flooded into the banquet hall, where the entire service staff had been waiting for some time.

Six people formed one table, and the girls also joined the celebration feast. Along with Erina, Hisako, and Alice, they could form three tables.

Since they weren't strangers to each other, everyone chose three nearby tables to sit.

Once everyone was seated, the waitstaff began serving dishes.

First up was an appetizer. On a small slice of Italian bread were diced ripe tomatoes and onions, seasoned with black pepper and lemon juice.

In addition, there was a glass of sparkling wine.

"Italian cuisine? This should be the handiwork of Chef Mizuhara."

Erina, well-versed in various cuisines, immediately recognized this as an Italian appetizer. When it came to Italian cuisine, one would naturally think of Mizuhara Fuyumi, as it was her specialty.

Forking a piece of the appetizer into her mouth, the slightly sour taste tantalized the taste buds, making everyone eagerly anticipate the upcoming dishes.

After the appetizer, a Japanese dish followed, undoubtedly crafted by Hinako Inui.

Various dishes of all kinds were brought in, and the students opened up their appetites. Even the girls set aside their reservations; after all, this level of feast wasn't something they could enjoy every day.

Even Erina and her group couldn't stop using their chopsticks.

So far, all the dishes served were at least Level 4, clearly indicating that the graduates were putting their full effort into this celebration.

In the kitchen, as the final Cosmic Dumpling was placed in the steamer, Hachiman breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dojima-senpai, I've finished all my dishes. I'll head out first." After notifying Dojima, he left the kitchen.

Changing out of his chef's uniform, giving a quick rinse, and donning a new set of clothes, Hachiman headed to the banquet hall.

As Hachiman arrived at the banquet hall, he found the girls' location and walked over.

"Hikki, over here."

As soon as they spotted Hachiman, Yui happily waved at him.

The girls also stopped their utensils when they saw him.

Looking at the empty plates on the three tables, Hachiman's expression showed some helplessness.

"You guys, eat a little less."

Hearing his words, the girls blushed, even Erina looked a bit shy.

"Hehe, it's just too delicious, so we couldn't resist for a moment." Yui scratched her head, a bit embarrassed.

"Here's some advice for you, better save some room; there's a surprise at the end." Hachiman smiled mysteriously.

"Nani nani, could it be that Hikki made another delicious dish?" Yui's face lit up with surprise.

Not only her, but the other girls also showed anticipation.

After all, they had experienced Hachiman's culinary skills, which were more delicious than these dishes.

"I did indeed prepare a dish, but it's not just me. I also asked Dojima-senpai to make a dish." Hachiman shrugged.

Hearing this, Erina was surprised.

"Dojima-senpai also participated?"

Considering that Dojima Gin had become the Executive Chef of the Totsuki Resort, he rarely intervened directly in such large-scale banquet dishes.

As if anticipating her thoughts, Hachiman shrugged.

"Dojima-senpai isn't making that much. I specifically asked him to make only three servings."

"Oh, this..."

Upon hearing his words, a faint sense of gratitude welled up in the hearts of the girls.

"Hikki, come over here and sit."

Yui, quick-witted as always, waved at Hachiman to join her.

Hachiman didn't refuse. After a waiter added a chair, he took a seat.

The position was quite good—Yui on the left, Yukino on the right. Since it was an additional chair, the space was relatively smaller. To outsiders, Hachiman seemed like a fulfilled individual sitting on the right.

Although he indeed was a fulfilled individual.

The main course was served at this moment.

First up was a dish of French orange-seared foie gras. The refreshing orange juice complemented the delicate goose liver, presenting an elegant taste in the mouth. This dish received a high score of 88 points in Hachiman's [Tasting] module, clearly crafted by Shinomiya.

Although it wasn't his specialty in vegetable cuisine, it marked Shinomiya's improvement. When Hachiman first arrived at Totsuki Resort, Shinomiya had prepared the same dish, but the taste back then was far from the current excellence.

It seemed like Shinomiya, resolving his inner conflicts, had made some progress in his culinary skills.

Following that, a series of dishes were brought in successively. Under Hachiman's [Tasting] module, every dish presented at this stage scored no less than 80 points. In other words, the culinary skills of the chefs behind these dishes were at least in the mid-level of Level 4.

A fragrant aroma wafted through the entire banquet hall. The dish of roasted lamb leg was brought in by the waiters, the Ninefold Secret Lamb Leg prepared by Dojima Gin.

Despite having enjoyed numerous delicious dishes, the smell caused many students to involuntarily salivate.

Especially Yuki at the Polar Star Dorm table, her eyes fixed on the Ninefold Secret Lamb Leg, following the footsteps of the waiter.

Unfortunately, this dish wasn't for her. After the waiters delivered the three servings of the Ninefold Secret Lamb Leg to Hachiman and the girls' tables, it disappeared without appearing on any other tables.

"Eh? Why, why don't we have roasted lamb legs?"

Seeing this, Yuki shouted in dissatisfaction.

Not only her, but the other members of the Polar Star Dorm also looked puzzled. Wasn't it one serving per table?

Hachiman turned his head and looked at the Polar Star Dorm group not far away, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

"This dish isn't for everyone. I specifically asked Dojima-senpai to make it, and there are only these three servings."
