Chapter 444 - Omurice?

The cooking challenge continues.

It's already 50 minutes after the cooking match starts, and from those passing time, Lou just watches Erina all the time as she moves around the kitchen.

For some reason, Erina felt that she was not cooking to win but she felt different as if she was waiting for a person to compliment her hard work.

'It's like…. A housewife cooking for her dear… husband?' Erina thought.

poof~

Steam starts to come out from her head, her face turns red while her body starts to become stiff as Lou watches her.

Her embarrassment looks at you and asks," What are you doing?"

Lou gently smiled and said," Watching you."

"Watching me? Hello, we are in a match okay?" Erina irritates said, she then turns around and starts bussy herself, and if you look closely, you will notice her lips slightly curl up for unknown reasons.

"Are we watching a love comedy series?" Taki irritates me.

"How cute, they look like a young couple~." Sonoka blushing said.

"What a golden pair, I want them both to work in my shop," Inui said.

"I have a good scoop here, it seems that bot is Erina-sama's Fiance!!"

"What a fiance? This is just a public display of affection?!"

"I'm drowning in dog food."

"Your late, we are going to eat plenty of dog food later,"

Lou sighs and finally stands up, he takes the apron and properly wears it, he then puts down the egg with additional secret ingredients he is using just now.

"He is starting."

"With just 10 minutes? What can he cook?"

"There's no time left, if he needs to win, he needs a miracle for that to happen."

Lou grabs some incidence and starts to chop each of it in a gentle but fast manner, showing off his caml composure while cooking.

His knife work is not fancy like others, his handling is not elegant as others, but for some reason, the audience and the judge felt warm just watching him cook.

Whatever he does is like art but not for royalty but for the eyes of everyone, every move he makes fascinates everyone, even the drop of the sweat from his cheeks makes the girls around dazed.

"T-Too.. Handsome!!"

"What a good-looking boy."

"Tsk, what is the use of his face if he will lose."

"Bitter!"

"You guys!!"

Because they are debating from something stupid, they did not expect that Lou finally fish his cooking.

"Times up! Please present your dish!"

Lou and Erina walk and put the dish that they made.

Erina Remove the cover of her dish and present it.

"If you please, I'd like to present you with "Egg Benedict"

"Whoa~ it's beautiful!"

"It's like a dazzling gem!"

"But, this dish is not original itself, did you add something tricks into it."

"Yes, you can taste it."

All of them take a plate and taste it.

"A perfect half-boiled poached egg that practically melts on the mouth, the elegant acidity of hollandaise sauce, crunchy baked bacon and subtly sweet muffin…"

"The complete harmony of all the flavors envelop the tongue."

"There's also deep earth taste into it that adds a new flavor in the dish,"

"Hmmm…. This is Karasumi powder? You add it to your dish?"

"I see, when the saltiness of Karasumi entwines with the egg yolk, it will hold such deep flavor to the dish."

"A dish that befitting of the queen, a deliciousness causes servility instinctively."

"Good job, you made another new dish," Dojima said.

"Good job Erina-chan, do you want to work in my shop," Inui asked.

"Shut up, Eina-sama dont have time."

"Wawawa~ what a bliss~"

"I will try, Inui-san," Erian then look at Lou and said," Now it's your time,"

"Then I like to present, nto a rare dish but…."

Lou removed the cover and made the judge and the people around petrified.

"T-This!!!"

"W-White rice?"

"And an Omelet on top?"

Lou smiled and said," My dish, well, for short a simple home cooking."

"Takasu Family Home Cooking 'Omurice' please dig in."

"It's over." The girls said.

The judge and Erian look at the dish and then to Lou, they look bewildered and confused, they all taste different cuisine in a different country, and this is the first time they will taste a home cooking in an Official Shokugeki.

"... In-Interesting, let's taste it…" Dojuma said.
