Speaking of cooking.
Nino says she's not convinced.
She glared fiercely at Itsuki, that troublesome girl.
That kid.
Ever since hearing Takajo Jojiro talk about the super delicious fried rice that day, she's been constantly thinking about it, even though she's usually happy just eating meat.
Now, they actually want their guest, Natsuhiko, to cook for them.
Aren't they ashamed?
Natsuhiko doesn't mind at all.
It even saves on his own food costs.
Nino followed closely behind Natsuhiko into the kitchen.
She wants to see who really controls everyone's taste buds.
She, Nakano Nino, is the Nakano family's ace.
Natsuhiko doesn't know Nino is thinking about a competition.
He has a reason for not making fried rice.
In fact.
Besides golden fried rice, Natsuhiko can make many other dishes, like seafood fried rice, but it just so happens that he doesn't want to eat fried rice today.
As for noodles, he has even more choices.
Whether it's knife-cut noodles or ramen, he can make them perfectly.
Natsuhiko first checked the ingredients in the kitchen.
Wow.
Pretty complete.
Shrimp, clams, fish slices, squid—they have everything.
How convenient.
Perfect for making a Peerless Beauty Noodle dish.
Speaking of Peerless Beauty Noodles, it's actually a type of dragon beard noodle.
It's a shame there are no lotus flowers.
The actual result is a little less impressive.
Ingredients: 150 grams of dragon beard noodles, two small pieces of squid, one egg, one prawn, one clam, one mushroom, two slices of fish, three pea pods.
Seasoning: One large spoonful of chopped green onion, half a small spoonful of chili powder; two cups of hot fish broth, one small spoonful of fine salt, one small spoonful of ginger wine juice, one small spoonful of sugar.
Place the squid, egg, prawn, clam, mushroom, fish slices, and pea pods in a bowl, pour in 1/4 of the seasoning, cover and cook on medium-high heat for 4 minutes.
Place 3/4 of the seasoning in a large soup bowl, cover and cook on high heat for 4 minutes until boiling.
Place the noodles in the soup, arrange the other ingredients neatly on top, pour in the soup, cover and cook on medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped green onion and chili powder.
Nino stared blankly as Natsuhiko performed.
Originally.
She was planning to compete with Natsuhiko.
She's quite confident in some of her dishes.
She's always been praised at home.
But after entering the kitchen, Natsuhiko seemed like a different person.
His skillful knife work and artistic-like movements dazzled her.
It was like a realm of the gods.
Nino's feeling wasn't wrong.
This so-called Peerless Beauty Noodle was exactly what Tobi made during the special chef exam.
And Little Chef.
Naturally, optimized and improved the dish.
Of course.
No chef should be limited by ingredients.
Making good food with the available ingredients is the most important thing.
Although the ingredients in this scaled-down version of Peerless Beauty Noodle that Natsuhiko is making have been reduced, the flavor won't be.
"Nino, bowls!"
Nino was already overwhelmed by the atmosphere and subconsciously arranged the bowls neatly.
"So fragrant!"
The rich aroma was already swirling around her nose.
Nino, who didn't feel hungry at first, subconsciously swallowed.
All that came to mind was a sense of defeat.
It's like surrendering before even starting, this feeling of frustration is not good!
...
Six bowls of noodles were served on the table.
"I'll dig in first!"
Clapping her hands together, she politely said the greeting before the meal.
Itsuki couldn't wait to reach for her chopsticks, picking up and sending the noodles to her mouth.
Before the broth could drip, she put them into her mouth, chewed in small bites, and then picked up a shrimp. After one bite, a happy look appeared on her face.
The others suppressed their excitement and released their arms around their chests.
Although they didn't say anything.
Natsuhiko clearly saw the glow on their faces.
Delicious.
That should be the first thought that came to their minds.
But this is also the first time Natsuhiko has made such food for himself, you can't expect someone who sometimes eats instant noodles to cook every time.
Nakano Itsuki slowly swallowed the noodles, sighing with satisfaction.
It was as if she had finished a large bowl of noodles in one breath.
"I can't eat any more!"
Coupled with her expression of enjoyment, the slight sweat from the heat of the noodles, and the glistening of moisture on her lips.
And this line with a lot of meaning.
Natsuhiko almost spit out the noodles in his mouth.
Even some evil thoughts began to stir.
Natsuhiko always feels like he's become more impure lately. Has it reached this stage as he gets older? The seeds of aggression that were rare before have begun to sprout.
And he's surrounded by beautiful girls.
It's time for the harem group to add a legitimate member.
Otherwise.
He really can't take it!
This may be the fastest meal the Nakano sisters have ever had.
They didn't consider how fast they were eating.
Now.
Each one of them looked completely satisfied.
Natsuhiko finished the soup in his bowl.
"The name of this noodle dish is Peerless Beauty Noodle. It was specially chosen for you bunch of dummies. You are the peerless beauties. As long as you find the right method, learning is easy."
"So Miku, what should correspond to Peerless Beauty?"
Miku hesitated for a moment, then her voice became firm.
"An Unparalleled Hero!"
Natsuhiko nodded in agreement.
"That's right. The theme of the noodles is precisely An Unparalleled Hero. An Unparalleled Hero and A Peerless Beauty are two sides of the same coin. Besides the historical allusions, it's also to prove my talent as an Unparalleled Hero!"
Listening to Natsuhiko's explanation.
The five sisters understood Peerless Beauty and An Unparalleled Hero.
But listening further.
He just said they were peerless beauties, and now he's calling himself an unparalleled hero, doesn't that mean he's saying he wants to start a harem?
So smart people are this subtle whether they're scolding or praising someone.
The sisters didn't notice the light shining in Miku's eyes.
