The Queen Of Flavor

Old Rivals

That's nice.

" WE MADE IT!"

I tackled Megumi and she fell to the ground.

" P-please get off of me.."

" NOT A CHANCE!"

" Hey!"

I turned to the left and saw Shun and Soma.

" So all four of you were selected, too?"

I got off of Megumi and nodded," Yeah. This is so freaking awesome!"

" Good job guys! You seem in a good mood Yokster."

" I FEEL WAAAY BETTER!"

" It seems we'll get to face off even before we'll ever have a Food War, Soma and Yoki!"

While Soma talked to Meat-Meat, I ran over to Takumi and Isami.

" Looks like my favorite twins made it too! Félicitations!"
[Congrats]

I gave them both a bear hug," LET US TRY OUR BEST!!"

Takumi stared at me with a red face and nodded while Isami laughed and teased him.

Is something wrong??

I shrugged and walked over to Meat-Meat," C'mon give me a hug too!"

" GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME!"

I only giggled and turned around," Oh! ALICE AND RY—!"

" Hello Everyone!"

I looked up and I saw—," HEY URARA!!"

She looked down at me and waved," I'm Urara Kawashima! I'll be your host at the Autumn Selections!"

Good for her!!

The men went wild for her and I could see that the girls were jealous..

" My heartfelt congratulations to those who have been selected! As you can see the sixty contestants that were chosen are split into two groups, Group A and Group B! Each group will undergo the preliminaries separately. Only the high tankers will advance to the actual tournament!"

" Ah, that seems easy enough.", I placed my finger on my chin and smiled," A Piece Of Cake!"

Urara took a note out of her pocket," I have a message from Eizan an executive member!
Many VIPS and heavyweights of the food industry will attend the preliminaries. This is an optional opportunity for you to demonstrate your talents."

Sweet.

" However.."

Not Sweet.

" Should you have the misfortune of presenting an unworthy dish, you may lose any hope of pursuing a career in the food industry at that point. Well, best of luck preparing for it...over your summer break. THATS ALL EVERYONE!"

What a creep..

I walked over to Alice and Ryo but came to a sudden stop.

Woah, they're talking to Soma must be important.

I SHALL EAVESDROP!

I hid behind a bush and listened to their convo.

I just heard about Erina not being in the competition..but then my name came up.

" But, even if I don't face Erina, I might have a Food War with Yoki. I want to seen how much she has grown. And if Ryo and Yoki face off, I might just have to bring a popcorn bag because it will be so heated in there!", Alice said to Soma.
