Food Wars: Welcome to Culinary World

Chapter 62: Cracking The Eggs-pectations

(3rd Person's POV)

You're now in the kitchen with your 'Polar Star' mates, who were trying to come up with a proper dish to serve as breakfast.

The students were having trouble coming up with their owns as well.

And so were you...

"This challenge is a lot harsher than I'd expected" Shun exclaimed.

"Yeah. Unless we're really confident in our cooking, we won't get to sleep anytime soon, huh?" Ryoko pointed out worriedly.

Meanwhile...

"I'm going to bed now. Are you still working on your dish?" I asked Hisako. She turned to me while cooking, "y-yes, I'm still just halfway done".

"I see. Don't keep at it too long".

I turned to walk away, then halted in my steps, "Oh, also...".

Hisako looked at me, pointing at her with frowned face. "Tomorrow, we're having a crazy sevens rematch! In last night's game of old maid...Well, I wasn't in good form...You follow me?" I said, blushing.

"Y-Yes!" Hisako stuttered.

I left the kitchen and made my way back to my room to get a good night sleep.

I had a quick flashback of...Eguchi's and Yukihira's egg dishes on the day of the entrance exam.

"Yukihira Soma, Eguchi (Y/N)...Through my cooking, I will shoot the both of you down. Watch closely. You'll both see the epitome of egg cuisine, a dish befitting Totsuki!" I thought, sneering.

(3rd Person's POV)

Soma was thinking about what to make for it be an appropriate egg dish. "Nothing's coming to mind for a fancy hotel breakfast..." he thought.

"Damn it!!" you yelled in anger, banging your fists on the counter. Snapping the red head out of his thoughts, he looked at you with a questioning look, "what's wrong?".

You groaned, "ugh, I've been thinking about what I can make for an egg dish, all I made was the egg soufflé on the day of our entrance exam. I need something new!!".

Soma tilted his head, "'something new'? Didn't you ever make a dish from a specific cuisine before?".

You looked at him with crossed arms, "no, Soma. That was just either my training, or Totsuki's normal cooking classes. But, I never liked repetition! You think the 'Rose Terrine' I made was something that existed? I make food out inspiration..."

He furrowed his brows, "then, what inspired you to make it even though we were in a basement?".

"Chef Shinomiya's hair!" you casually answered, which left Soma dumbfounded. A stupid look was all over his face.

You laughed at his reaction, "hahahahaha! Oh shit, your face!!".

You wiped your tears and gave a warm smile, "sometimes weird things inspire us, Soma...".

You returned to your thinking bubble, back to your deep thoughts as you struggled to squeeze your brain to come up with a new, fresh, and crazy idea.

"Inspiration, eh?" Soma thought, putting a hand on his chin. A soft smile curled up on his lips before beginning his cooking, "guess I'll just try making something!".
