Her figure wasn't particularly tall, but her development in that area was quite good, and she was also very beautiful and pure.
"Anne told me you're a former Totsuki graduate?"
Nakiri Mana asked.
"Yes, Executive Officer, my name is Sonoka, and I was once the… Second Seat of the 89th Totsuki Elite Ten!"
Sonoka stammered.
"You failed Anne's review when you tried to become a two-star restaurant last time?"
Mana gently fanned herself with the folding fan in her hand, exuding an air of authority.
...
As the saying goes:
Harm not the person, but not their face; expose not their secrets, but not their shortcomings!
This scene of having her old wound exposed in public made Mujiuzhi feel extremely awkward.
Eventually, she forced herself to calm down and simply nodded.
"May I ask who you are…?"
Then, she asked with a bit of confusion.
It was clear that Mujiuzhi always felt a sense of restraint when facing these executive officers.
However, her appearance and demeanor did not displease Nakiri Mana; on the contrary, she found her very sincere, so she replied with a light chuckle: "As for me, I am Anne's superior!"
"Then… then aren't you a Special Executive Officer?"
"The only Special Executive Officer in the current WGO Gourmet Organization, I remember is…"
Sonoka had somewhat guessed it initially.
But when she truly realized Nakiri Mana's identity, she was still a bit startled and quickly stood up in a panic.
"Don't be nervous. We came to your Spring Fruit Pavilion Restaurant because of a small incident on our way to the Izakaya."
Seeing this, Nakiri Mana quickly gestured for her not to be so.
"No, no, no, to have someone of your standing in the culinary world grace this one-star restaurant is simply my greatest honor, Mujiuzhi!"
Mujiuzhi exclaimed with both surprise and delight.
"It's truly shameful to say."
"As an executive officer, I've been to Sosuke's Restaurant next door two or three times."
"However, I've never actually visited your one-star restaurant, which is recognized by the WGO!"
Looking at Mujiuzhi, Mana couldn't help but sigh.
"Shopkeeper Sosuke, everyone likes him and respects him very much."
"After all, every dish he makes always brings joy and happiness to every diner."
"He… he truly is a very excellent chef!" Mujiuzhi replied with a blush.
"Indeed, only those who have tasted his dishes truly know how delicious and unforgettable they are!"
Nakiri Mana said slowly.
...
Grumble!
Grumble!
Just then.
Perhaps it was due to missing Sosuke's cooking too much.
Nakiri Mana inevitably felt a surge of hunger, and her stomach began to rumble.
"What a pain."
"I really want to taste Sosuke's cooking right now…"
Mana's face gradually turned flushed, and her eyes began to look a bit dazed.
Although she still strongly disliked ordinary dishes.
But at the moment, she couldn't actually go to the Izakaya, so she could only fix her gaze on Sonoka.
"Mujiuzhi, can you make a dish for me to taste now?"
"Lady Mana, you absolutely must not!"
Beside her, Anne heard this and quickly stood up to stop her, saying, "Even I find her cooking mediocre, let alone you?"
"If you were to experience vomiting again from tasting bad food, then… then…"
"It's fine, I'll just have a little bit."
Nakiri Mana said indifferently.
Seeing Mana's face growing redder, Anne couldn't bear it and finally said helplessly, "Alright, just this once!"
"Making a dish for the Special Executive Officer to taste, isn't that just asking for trouble for me?"
Mujiuzhi scratched the back of her head awkwardly upon hearing this.
She knew that her cooking couldn't even conquer Anne, let alone Nakiri Mana.
"Just cook with your utmost ability. Regardless of the taste, I can guarantee it won't affect your restaurant."
Nakiri Mana, seeing her hesitate, comforted her.
"Alright, I'll do my best."
Having said that, Sonoka began to ponder.
Which French dish should she make for the WGO's Special Executive Officer to taste?
