Capítulo 53: BLUE Finale
The final match of BLUE came as it was Soma vs Erina, two best friends now pit against each other
The arena that they are within is within the castle where only they and Nakiri Mana were within
"If I win, don't ever mention Saiba Asahi again," Soma said to Erina while holding his black knife
"but if I win" Erina spoke out before pointing a finger towards Soma "you are to let loose of that knife forever!"
"why for?" Soma said looking at his knife "this knife is the very same knife I had used that helped us won against Central, you know. Without it, we would've lost that battle"
"no" Erina spoke out "even without it, I know for sure that you would've won anyways"
"then let's find out if it's true then," Soma said spinning then knife around his hand before swinging it to the right
"the judge of this final is me and the theme is a dish never before seen on earth," Nakiri Mana said as this task was by far the most impossible to achieve "there is no time limit,"
Soma lifted up both of his sleeves while Erina tied Soma's signature headband around her hair into a ponytail and the headband served as a ribbon of some sort
"begin cooking!"
She signaled the start of the match as Soma and Erina went to their station and started cooking
Soma sliced carrots, vegetables, sausages, and then spices as the man then takes rice and started cooking it on a giant wok with the stove burning in flames
"look! Yukihira's dish!" Takumi exclaimed looking at the giant screen
"he's making fried rice as well!" Hisako said in shock
"Nakiri-san" Megumi looks to the screen as Erina was doing the same thing like Soma
The crowds watched as the match was one to see with their very eyes
Erina shakes the rice in the stove before adding spices, herbs, and then vegetables
"you're making fried rice as well, huh?" Soma said while cooking faster as his strength is beyond that of Erina's "why?"
"I'm going to remind you" Erina said as she throws in a bowl of mixed eggs into the frying rice as the flames grow bigger "the joy of true cooking!"
Soma looks to her before focusing back on his cooking as his dish was nearly completed
Erina poured in everything she had, everything in her strength to make the dish, that will take back Soma from the storm
Mana watches both chef's cook as they were using astounding and famous cooking skills from around the world
Soma cooks his rice as a dark aura surrounds him while cooking but Erina, she was cooking with a white transparent figure who took the form of a woman
After 20 minutes of cooking, both finished cooking as Soma went to first towards Nakiri Mana
"taste mine first," Soma said as he presented his fried rice towards Nakiri Mana "a dish made with memories of my mother"
Nakiri Mana grabbed a spoon and took a bite of the dish. In an instant, her body was burned into flames by an explosion of flavors
"The first bite and then the second bite! It's pulling me in! he cast a spell upon this dish!"
(Food Fantasy: Soma appeared in front of Nakiri Mana as in the form of a demon before firing a magic blast at her, and strips her of her clothing)
Outside the cooking arena, people watching the scene was shocked as their clothes exploded from themselves
"the bursting went even to here!?" Alice exclaimed in shock
"How powerful was his dish!?" Ikumi exclaimed in shock
"not just us!" Takumi shouted out pointing towards the gate where all of the staff's clothes were stripped from themselves
"even towards them as well?!" Ryo looks in shock
"impressive, Yukihira Soma" Mana commented as she cleans her lips with a tissue "your dish was able to bring explosive life to my God Tongue"
Soma looks bored to her comment and shrugs his shoulder
"now taste Erina's dish and call this match over," Soma said walking away before his hand was grabbed by Erina
Soma turns to look at Erina as she had a plate of her dish in her hand
"taste it," Erina said while giving Soma her dish "my dish"
Soma looks at the dish as it was nearly the same dish as the one, he had just made
"why should I?" Soma asked but Erina just gave him the dish
Soma took the dish and grabs a spoon
Nakiri Mana did the same as both tasted the dish and in an instant, a powerful explosion of flavors and fragrance assaulted their mouths like rains of flavor bombs
"this taste…" Soma said as he takes another bite and the flavors soon came exploding again
"Pilaf, Dongporou, white fish and clams, red chili, and even Shitake, you've cooked all of this dish in a Donabe to make the rice main it's form while the excess water flies out" Mana commented as Erina nodded
"This is Yukihira Tamako's specialty! Explosive Fragrance Fried Rice!" Erina exclaimed as Soma looks at the dish with shock "I've made it all by my hands! Using all of the ingredients of Yukihira Diner!"
"but…this taste….is just like how my mother would've made it!?" Soma said in shock
"Joichiro-san told me" Erina spoke out as Soma looks to her "this dish was one of your favorites, that Tamako-san would always make for you, Soma"
"my pops…told you?" Soma said as Erina nodded
Mana tasted the dish as she can see the flavors dancing in harmony in her mouth as she can see Erina with Soma in it
"I see now," Mana said with a smile
Soma took another bite out of the fried rice before another and then another as he wasn't stopping
He chewed on the dish as the flavors brought so many memories of his mother, that it made tears dripping from his eyes
(food fantasy:
Soma stood in darkness as he can see in front of him, his younger self
The younger Soma was crying as he was crying nonstop
A woman passes by Soma as Soma watched the woman approached the younger Soma and brought him into a hug
"there there, it's alright," the woman said to the crying Soma as she carried him up into her arms and started comforting him
That woman was his mother, Yukihira Tamako
"mom…" Soma muttered out seeing the woman who smiled to him before walking away with the younger Soma
A dark aura surrounds Soma as it forms himself but as a demon
"ShE'S GoNE! She wAS tAKen AwaY! lIke eVERyone ElSE!" the Demon Soma shouted towards Soma "DesTRoY tHosE wHo tAKe them aWAy! make it aLL YoURS!"
Soon a gentle light burst from the heaven as the darkness started to fade
Soma looks above as he sees Erina descending upon him in the form of an angel
The Demon Soma fade out from the light while screaming
Erina holds her hand towards Soma as she smiles to him
Soma reached out towards hers before being pulled into an embrace by her
"it's fine…it's fine" Erina softly whispered to him as Soma's eyes softened before his hands pulled her towards him "I will always be with you"
"it's…so warm" Soma muttered out as the light has shined upon him)
Soma finished the fried rice before he sets the plate down while crying nonstop
"Erina…thank you…..Erina" Soma cried out as he fell to his knees while crying
Erina smiles to Soma as she kneels down and pulled him into a gentle yet loving hug
"it's okay, Soma" Erina softly spoke to him "you don't need to keep protecting me anymore… let me protect you"
Soma closes his eyes as he leans into the hug with his heart slowly calming
(Imagination scene; Soma as a Fire Dragon was resting upon the ground with many wounds upon its body, but the dragon rested as Erina sat by its side caressing its head like a princess sleeping with a dragon)
The black knife's blade cracked before it broke into two
Mana smiles before she lifted her fan to the left side as the scoreboard appeared
