Time in a collapsing world

Steaming, frying, boiling, pan-frying, and grilling. Except for the fishy-smelling sashimi from before, almost all the hundreds of fish dishes that Ri tasted were made by jumping between these techniques repeatedly.

Moreover, the quality of the taste is also uneven. There are too many sugars, too little salt, and the fish is burnt. These problems have appeared once and for all. Li feels that her sense of taste has been poisoned by these dark dishes.

It's not that there are no idols with good skills, but they are very few. At least there are only five or six out of a hundred people.

And now there are dozens of dishes waiting for him to taste, which means that the nightmare must continue.

"Sir, don't give up halfway. You must be fair and just in everything you do. You have already come this far. It would be a pity if you stop here~"

Mr.JK whispered to Li, and made a strange laugh of "ho ho ho".

"...You will reimburse the medical expenses, right?"

Li felt that his stomach was already a little overwhelmed. He wanted to go to the toilet. He couldn't help it now. If he could hold it for two days before, he could only hold it for another twelve hours now. ...and this is without tasting all the dishes.

"Of course, whether it's medical expenses or funeral expenses, our company will pay them for you!"

"...Tsk, have you known for a long time that most of these idols' craftsmanship is not very good?"

"How could it be? Beautiful girls can do anything. I believe this very much~"

"... Putting aside your nonsense, if you still hold this competition even though you know this, aren't you afraid of killing people?"

If it weren't for his strong physique, he would probably have fainted on the stage after eating so many questionable dishes, right?

"Oh? Sir, what you said is so sad. Obviously those girls worked so hard to present their works to you..."

Mr.JK pretended to be pretentious at first, and then said nonchalantly: "Then why do you think I invited you to the stage? Mr. Li~"

"..."

"Because among the audience present, you are the only one who can insist on tasting all the girls' dishes~"

"..."

"By the way, this second game was originally just for ordinary singing and dancing, but since you are here, I will boldly let myself go~"

"You guys are really targeting me!"

Li stared at Mr. JK's face and searched frantically in his mind, trying to find this guy in his memory.

Facing Li's gaze, Mr. JK was not panicked at all, "Mr. Li, do you want to attack me in public?"

"No, what I want to do more is to peel off your skin and see who you really are."

"Let's talk about this later, Mr. Li, isn't our top priority to complete the second game? Look at those beautiful girls, they are all waiting for you~"

"..."

Li turned her attention to the dozens of untouched plates placed there, and after a slight hesitation, she chose to continue.

Mr.JK, the bastard, is right. He really doesn’t want to give up halfway. If he really chickens out at this moment, it would be unfair to the remaining idols. Moreover, the most important thing is, Alicia does I haven't eaten the plate of food yet...Who knows if my absence will affect Alicia's results.

Forget it, he has already eaten so much, not missing these few plates. At most, he just squatted in the toilet until he collapsed... Maybe, after today, he may stay away from fish, right?

"Don't run after the game."

Li said fiercely.

"Ho ho ho, can you control me?"

Mr.JK's strange tone made Li's blood pressure rise.

"call……"

After calming down for a while, Li picked up the chopsticks and sounded the clarion call for the remaining food.

He...he probably didn't forget to bring tissues today, right?

……

"Well……!"

After a period of tasting, Li's legs couldn't help but feel weak, and she almost fell to her knees. She was careless. Among so many dishes, there wasn't even a normal dish, which made it even more unpalatable.

Didn’t you really pour the entire bottle of salt into this plate of boiled fish?

The inside of this grilled fish is completely raw!

Why are the internal organs not removed from this steamed sea bass? ? ?

Although Li's stomach was in a mess, he still insisted on giving a thumbs up to these idols.

He treats every idol equally.

The rest...huh?

This is a plate of pickled fish. The portion seems to be quite generous, and the distribution of base ingredients is also normal. There is no burnt blackness, no internal organs, and the smell seems to be very good.

This...could it be a gold medal?

No, he who has tasted Baiyu will no longer be fooled by this appearance. He should not have any expectations before the fish enters his mouth.

After all, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Li glanced at the nameplate on the side of the plate. It was Yuko Kisaragi. She should be able to cook a little... right?

Li glanced to the side and found that Miss Yuko, like the other idols before, was looking at her expectantly.

"..."

I'll try my best to look happy...

He picked up a piece of fish without any hope, and wanted to swallow it in one bite without hesitation, but the next moment it entered his mouth, he froze, and then started chewing.

The fish meat is delicate and refreshing, oily but not greasy, sour and spicy. It is a normal pickled fish. It does not have too many advantages, but it also does not have any disadvantages! This alone is enough to crush other dishes!

Chewing the extremely rare normal fish meat in his mouth, Li felt inexplicably filled with tears. For him who had a full stomach of Cthulhu food, just this was enough to move him beyond measure.

He gave a shaky thumbs up. Due to his excitement, he almost couldn't hold back from taking a second bite, but for the sake of fairness, he stopped this thought.

Miss Yuko, you are my god!

At this moment, Li really had the urge to become Miss Yuko's first fan.

Yuko also breathed a sigh of relief after getting Li's thumbs up, which symbolized affirmation. She thought that her ordinary craftsmanship would not be recognized by Li...

Finally, it's Alicia's turn...

Li looked at the last dish. It was also covered with a thermal lid in a rather formal manner, so Li didn't know what was inside, but it was obvious that it was the only Alicia's dish he had never tasted. Cooked.

Li deliberately kept this dish. His original thought was that after suffering as much poison as possible, no matter how unpalatable Alicia made it, he should be able to face it with a calm mind. ? Maybe it can also slightly affect the machine's judgment?

Yes, he has thought too much about Alicia's championship career.

Li didn't turn around to look at Alicia, but he knew that Alicia was watching him.

I have paid so much for you, you must respond well to my expectations! Alicia!

Li suddenly opened the thermal insulation cover, but the inner scene that came into view made Li stunned for a moment, and not only him, but also Mr. JK seemed to raise his eyebrows in surprise, and the audience in the audience also began to Whispers started.
