Anime Crossover: My Youth Begins with Charlotte

Page 126

Under normal circumstances, the odds of winning are fifty-fifty.

Unfortunately, Kaguya's stock went bankrupt.

With one more loser added, Kaguya's land instantly became unclaimed territory. As long as taxes weren't paid, occupying the land made one a clear winner.

In that case, we can just leave the outcome to luck.

This judgment doesn't seem wrong.

However, that moment never came.

Fujiwara Chika didn't want to lose. Her hand trembled, and the dice suddenly rolled a 6, then a 3. She was incredibly lucky, and the dice landed right on the territory left behind by Kaguya.

Xia Yan, on the other hand, was in a worse situation. He had to pay taxes step by step and was on the verge of being eliminated.

Xia Yan glanced at Qian Hua: "Qian Hua, if you continue cheating, I'll start too."

"..."

"what?"

"Cheating?"

"What...what are you saying...Yan..."

Chika trembled. That's right, she had cheated. She had tampered with the dice. This was a secret game used by everyone in the board game club, but she never expected that it would be discovered.

but.

It's too late to say it now.

If the dice land on the last piece of land as she intends, she's guaranteed to win.

Qianhua's expression remained unchanged.

Fujiko should turn to "6" this time.

She already had a victorious smile on her face.

As a result, the already stalled 6 rolled over to "1", and Xia Yan's luxury residential area went bankrupt first because it could not afford to pay taxes.

"How could that be? It should be a 6!"

Chika spoke in surprise.

Xia Yan patted her head: "Because I cheated too!"

"what!"

Xia Yan just used his newly acquired "Air Force Mastery" to flip the dice and win the game.

Despite losing the match and the hearts of the people, Chika disregarded Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai's angry glares and began organizing the next match and punishment.

"Heart-pounding! Women's Cooking Showdown (Judge: Xia Yan)"

It seems they're quite dissatisfied with the unresolved okonomiyaki duel, so now they've started another culinary showdown.

An hour passed.

Xia Yan was playing a game at the rosewood table when she heard hurried running sounds coming from the corridor. They had returned.

"Regarding the scoring criteria, specifically..."

Before Xia Yan could finish speaking, Qian Hua went around behind him, silently covered his eyes with a towel, and tied his hands behind his back.

"Wait a minute, are you trying to defile me with this behavior?"

"No, it's to prevent you from resisting. Conversations between chefs and judges are strictly prohibited."

"..."

Chika left the room after saying those words.

A few moments.

The sound of plates being placed on a table came from the front, along with the aroma of food.

"Alright, let's begin the Kaguya VS Chika VS Ai women's cooking showdown."

"Let's now confirm the review rules."

"First, we'll put the food in Yan's mouth. After the bell rings, she'll open her mouth and we'll feed her. Finally, we'll give her a short review of the dishes and decide which one is the best."

"To avoid it getting cold, let's begin!"

Before Xia Yan could speak, the bell rang.

He opened his mouth.

Then, something occupied his mouth.

The delicious flavor spreads around the tongue; it's incredibly flavorful beef.

"This is stewed pork with potatoes. The pork, onions, and potatoes are all made with high-quality ingredients. The seasoning is just right, sweet, and the aroma is also good. It's above average."

0 ····Requesting flowers···· ·········

The bell rang a second time.

"This is vegetables, eggs, onions, ham... The heat is just right, and the moisture is just right, it's pretty good."

the third time.

The tip of my tongue touched something that looked like charcoal.

"This burnt sweet and sour fish is awful!"

Xia Yan hadn't finished speaking.

Chika lunged at him and threatened to bite, but Kaguya grunted and stopped her, thus preventing a major battle.

(Damn it, I should have done the worst and run into Yan's arms for comfort. Chika is so mean.)

"Alright, the final results are in. The best dish is Kaguya's potato stew with meat, Ai's is also pretty good, and the worst is Chika's. Everyone, give her a round of applause!"

Scatteredly, everyone joined in the clapping.

Kaguya narrowed her eyes, lowered her head shyly, and Chika kept shrugging, indicating her poor performance.

.. ......... ...

Kaguya tossed her loose black hair aside and concluded, "Chika's training as a bride is still incomplete, while I've already finished it all! (Hiko! Praise me!)"

"I really want to marry Kaguya like that."

Xia Yan could tell that she was seeking praise.

Kaguya, having had her wish granted, was leaning against the wall.

"Ah, my cooking can't possibly be this bad."

The experience of serving food to someone and then receiving a bad review left Chika feeling extremely frustrated, and her heart was broken.

They were about to pour soy sauce and vinegar over the burnt fish and quickly get rid of it.

Xia Yan grabbed Qian Hua, who was in despair.

"Don't worry, I won't be that cruel to you."

"Ah."

Qianhua's eyes were brimming with tears.

All three of them cooked for him, so it would be a shame if he didn't show off his skills.

"I'll make you two dishes."

The three of them were stunned.

Then they went to the kitchen together to observe, and Xia Yan carefully prepared two dishes.

One dish is Tornado Shark Fin – minced shark fin, ham, and bamboo shoots are shredded, braided, wrapped in sausage casing, and made into sausage. When you bite into it, the shark fin sweeps through your mouth like a tornado, filling your mouth with deliciousness and making you feel happy.

Another dish is Phoenix Crystal – bean sprouts with the heads and tails removed are stir-fried and arranged in the shape of a phoenix. It tastes refreshing and light, and is incredibly delicious.

As soon as the two dishes were served, the three beauties' clothes all popped off.

The final winner of the women's cooking competition—Xia Yan (I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense.)

(Kaguya: Thanks to the useless Chika, at least she's still somewhat useful.)

(Ai Hayasaka: It seems to taste much better than what world-class chefs make, is that just my imagination?)

(Chika: Waaaaaah~ I'm in love, I'm totally smitten.) Fan.

Chapter 122 In short, it's all about hot springs.

After a fierce battle of culinary skills in the second group of dishes, the third group of dishes was completed.

Starting with Chika's comment, "It's about time we packed up and went to the hot springs," we began tidying up the room.

"Speaking of which, why is it that Chika can say such embarrassing things so naturally?"

Chika's half-open eyes and sly smile left Kaguya feeling utterly helpless.

Kaguya could only keep her eyes fixed on Natsuhiko's movements.

(Speaking of which, you can see it if you go to a hot spring, right?...! ==)

I'm so excited, I feel like I'm about to faint.

"Speaking of which, do we have any hot springs around here?"

Chika suddenly blurted out, then looked confused, resting a finger on her chin and furrowing her brow slightly.

Xia Yan laughed and said, "How could the Shinomiya family not have these? Chika, you're overthinking it!"

Hayasaka Ai said with a serious expression, "In fact, the bath of the '293' annex is an open-air hot spring, and of course there are separate baths for men and women."

"cut!"

Xia Yan clicked his tongue in disdain.

"There will probably be things like the fence separating the men's and women's baths collapsing, or the curtains for the men's and women's baths being placed backwards."

He added, unwilling to give up.

"That's right, such accidents do happen. Even in the large public bathhouse used by men, there are women who experience the same thing."
