"Now, I invite the judges to cast their votes. The final winner of this match is...
The Totsuki Ten Elite First Seat, Hoshino Sora!"
As the final score displayed 3:0 on the score counter, Kawashima Rei, holding a microphone, excitedly announced the match results, while looking at Hoshino Sora, who stood before the judges, with admiring eyes.
"He won again, he actually won again!?"
"He's too strong! The Elite Ten Seventh Seat had no power to fight back against him! He was easily crushed 3:0!?"
"Unbelievable, how did he even think of that dish?!"
"To be able to earn such high praise from the judges, this guy is simply too terrifying!"
Watching Hoshino Sora, who was full of vigor on the competition stage, and hearing Kawashima Rei announce the final result, the audience instantly erupted, their discussions sweeping across the venue.
From the judges' highly praising comments just now, it was clear that this guy's strength far exceeded Yukihira Soma's; the latter had no chance of winning.
"You've been too kind, Soma Yukihira."
"I'm just not as skilled, but I'll definitely defeat you next time, Hoshino."
Looking at Hoshino Sora, whose expression was unruffled, Yukihira Soma said each word seriously.
His consecutive failures did not dampen his confidence in cooking; instead, they made the flame in his heart burn brighter. If not this time, then next time; if not next time, then the time after that. He would keep challenging until he succeeded!
"I look forward to your next match, but I have something to do soon, so I'll take my leave."
Waving his hand, Hoshino Sora turned and left.
In a situation where cooking skills were similar, he, who could create golden dishes using high-end ingredients, was already in an unbeatable position. This was the fundamental reason he dared to declare war on so many strong individuals.
Of course, even without high-end ingredients, his cooking skills were among the best in Far Moon, but there would still be a risk of defeat.
To ensure his plan of gaining reputation points proceeded smoothly, Hoshino Sora had no intention of giving up his advantage for some trivial self-esteem.
"Let's go, let's go to the restaurant together."
"Okay."
Leaving Tsukiten Space, Hoshino Sora naturally took Yumeko Jabami's hand as she actively approached him, walking side by side with her.
"This afternoon, I made braised duck again, and it tasted much better than the one served during the Food Wars. It's all thanks to you!
And this afternoon, after eating the braised duck, my Gourmet Cell advanced, and a lot of impurities were expelled from my body. Correspondingly, my five senses and everything else were strengthened."
"That's normal. It means my Sora has become even more delicious, and there won won't be any psychological burden when tasting her in the future."
Hearing Yumeko Jabami's words, Hoshino Sora quickly leaned in, sniffing her body as he got closer. Indeed, she smelled fresher than she did during the day. Excellent, excellent!
"That tickles…"
Faced with Hoshino Sora's sudden closeness, Yumeko Jabami was a bit slow to react. Feeling his warm breath on her neck, she instinctively shrunk her neck, her face turning crimson.
Seeing this, Hoshino Sora burst into laughter, then reached out and pinched Yumeko Jabami's fair, tender cheek into various shapes, the fondness in his eyes becoming even more apparent.
Soon, the two left Far Moon and boarded the bus at the foot of Far Moon Mountain, arriving at the restaurant early to prepare.
"You can rest here first. The kitchen is free to use, and all the ingredients are in the refrigerator. I have some things to deal with, probably for about two hours."
"Understood, you go ahead and be busy."
"Mm."
Hoshino Sora said, then entered the staff lounge, disappearing from the room the next moment. When he reappeared, he was greeted by the sight and sound of birds and flowers, and the scent of earth filled the air.
"Master!"
"Master, you're back!"
"Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome! Master, do you know how much we missed you when you weren't here? In the days you were away, we had no drive to work, we couldn't eat or sleep, we just yearned for you to come and guide our work!"
"Master, let's cuddle~"
As soon as he entered the Gourmet Manor, the Forest Elves from all directions seemed to sense him simultaneously, all turning their gaze towards Hoshino Sora's direction, then rushing over together.
Soon, Forest Elves from all directions gathered in front of Hoshino Sora. The girls' voices were sweet, and Hoshino Sora's heart bloomed with joy as they called him "Master" one after another.
"Alright, alright, everyone looks very energetic, and this place has changed a lot."
Looking at the village that had already taken shape, Hoshino Sora strolled through it, praising it as he walked, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
He genuinely enjoyed the feeling of building a home from scratch.
"Thanks to you."
Windsor walked over from not far away, looking at the young man touring the newly built village. Her beautiful face showed the unique charm of a mature woman, and she wrapped her arm around Hoshino Sora's as she spoke.
"Please allow me to give you a tour."
"Sure, let's take a look then."
Feeling the astonishing softness on his arm, Hoshino Sora did not resist or feel shy. He openly accepted her embrace, even secretly taking advantage of her with his hand.
The Forest Elf Windsor clearly felt this, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she blushed and continued to rub against Hoshino Sora, her smile exceptionally bright.
For a slave, being liked by her master could be said to be the highest honor. After realizing that Hoshino Sora was also interested in her, Windsor's heart was filled with immense joy.
This was reflected in the upward curve of her lips.
And her expression was naturally seen by the other Forest Elves behind her. Envy flickered in the eyes of every Forest Elf, because they also wanted to be so intimately close with their Master!
"This is the plaza we built for you. We plan to erect your statue in the center and name the village Hoshino Village to praise your greatness, Master."
Pointing to the huge stone in the middle of the village, Windsor said with a fervent expression. This project was proposed by her, and once suggested, it received the approval of all the Forest Elves.
"There's no need to make it so exaggerated…"
Looking at the huge stone standing in the middle of the village, Hoshino Sora awkwardly scratched his head, wondering where they found such a large stone. It looked quite heavy.
"What are you saying?! This is not exaggerated at all! I even think this stone is too small and cannot fully embody your majestic and domineering presence, Master."
Hearing Hoshino Sora's words, Windsor immediately pouted, looking somewhat displeased, because this stone was indeed not large enough to fully embody her Master's grandeur!
"You're thoughtful, very thoughtful."
Seeing that Windsor was a bit emotional, Hoshino Sora stopped himself from complaining, then looked around: "What are you planning to do with the area outside the statue, digging such a circle of pits…"
"We want to make a flower bed in this area. The central area of the village will be used for evening activities. When Master comes next time, we can hold events like bonfires."
Hearing Hoshino Sora's inquiry, Windsor spoke voluminously, excitement evident in her expression. She had clearly already planned the use of the central plaza.
"That sounds pretty good. We can make a lot of delicious food then, and we can chat while enjoying the night view. That kind of life is quite nice too."
"You're right, Forest Elves…"
Looking at the surrounding environment and the Forest Elves watching them from afar, Hoshino Sora said with a slight sigh. He really could come and gather with them sometime.
Wait!?
If he opened the Dimensional Restaurant here, and then connected it to Other World, wouldn't that mean guests from Other World could come to his world to play?
