In the Central Area, in front of Polar Star's stall, a large crowd had already gathered.
Under the arrangement of the security personnel in the vicinity, they had "voluntarily" formed a line.
"Didn't the School Festival just start? How did so many people get here all of a sudden??" The Polar Star residents were a bit baffled.
Could those guests teleport or something??
They had gathered here just as it started.
"It's not those guests—it's the students from nearby participating in the School Festival. These guys are seriously insane!"
Zenji Marui couldn't help but complain.
"Well, it's dishes made by Yuuki. People who know Yuuki is participating couldn't not pay attention. So, their current behavior is understandable. If it were me, I'd probably make the same choice!"
Alice Nakiri said while kneading dough.
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
Indeed, if it weren't for them working here, they would definitely be very much looking forward to Yuuki's dishes and would also abandon their own stalls to queue up—
—It was a good thing the number of students wasn't large. After some screening, there were still four or five hundred first-year students left.
The second years were only in the double digits. As for the third years, you could count them on one hand.
As for the middle school students, they were arranged to enter with the guests. So, there were only a few hundred people queuing here.
Well, compared to the number of regular guests, these few hundred people really weren't much—
....
Looking at the guests gathered here, Yuuki directly set up twenty woks at once.
That's right, since there were so many people—he didn't intend to make them wait long and decided to make a bit more all at once.
Frying a few buns in one wok wasn't a big problem...
With twenty woks, he could make over a hundred buns at once. Such speed was incredibly fast.
"One wok, two woks... Hiss... TWENTY woks! Yuuki-sama is going to control twenty oil woks simultaneously! THAT'S TOO RIDICULOUS! How can he even keep an eye on all of them...??"
The crowd could see the scene of Yuuki making dishes. When they saw twenty oil woks surrounding Yuuki, they sucked in a sharp breath...
"Don't compare us to Yuuki-sama! He is a First Class Officer. Even at WGO, he's an absolute powerhouse—" A die-hard fan of Yuuki spoke up.
It was a good thing no other First Class officers were here—otherwise, they would probably all be so ashamed they'd want to find a hole to crawl into.
....
At this moment, Yuuki began to act.
After the buns made by everyone reached a certain quantity, he began to deep-fry them.
And he instantly enveloped the oil woks with his Inferno.
On one hand, it allowed the oil temperature to quickly reach the standard.
On the other hand, it facilitated the creation of a thermal membrane during deep-frying to protect the vermicelli from being fried dry—
—Every time Inferno was used, it was basically a grand display. A large amount of flames enveloped the oil woks. It was as if twenty huge fireballs had appeared in front of Yuuki.
This scene left the queuing students and arriving guests dumbfounded.
"No matter how many times I see it, this special ability is TOO overpowered! How can such a special ability even exist in this world??" Asahi Nakiri was very helpless watching Yuuki cook.
This ability was very overpowered. Not only was its effect terrifying, but it also exceeded the replication limit of his own special ability.
"For a special existence like Yuuki-sama, his ability obviously has to be special—" Sarge, who was utterly devoted to Yuuki, stated.
After glancing at Sarge, Asahi Nakiri said no more.
Whenever Yuuki was discussed, Sarge always had the expression of a little fangirl.
So, it was better not to say anything now—just watch quietly.
....
Soon, the first wave of buns was out of the wok.
The students at the front of the line were quite excited—they could finally eat dishes made by Yuuki—
—While the shape of these buns was very peculiar, and they were deep-fried, they had never seen such buns before... it didn't stop them from tasting them.
But the moment they picked up the buns, the buns actually started to laugh.
The silvery laughter left everyone holding the buns with expressions of terror mixed with bafflement.
"The buns... THE BUNS ARE LAUGHING!"
One exclamation, and everyone was startled.
But they quickly realized that the buns laughing wasn't because of some supernatural event, but because there was something wrong with these buns.
So, after the guests recovered their senses, they began to buy and taste the buns.
Daigo Aoki and Shōji Satō, whose Culinary skills were the worst, were arranged to be responsible for sales.
Although this job didn't require much effort, dealing with people wasn't easy either. Fortunately, the queue here was orderly, without any chaotic rushing. Otherwise, they probably would have fled in panic.
One by one, the buns were sold.
To ensure that people at the back could buy them, each person was limited to purchasing one bun.
Though somewhat inconvenient, everyone expressed their approval, especially those queuing at the back.
If the people at the front bought dozens each, what would happen to those at the back??
So, they supported such a decision with both hands.
Those who got the buns didn't eat them immediately but stared at the laughing buns in a daze. They tried to find out why the buns would laugh...
But to find out, one had to open the bun. However, figuring out the principle behind it wasn't easy either.
After all, only Yuuki could successfully achieve such a principle. Others, even if they knew the principle, couldn't do it.
So, it was almost impossible for them to reverse-engineer the principle.
After all, if this principle were revealed, probably no one would believe it. How could anyone imagine it?
....
Among these guests, there were acquaintances, for example, Rindō Kobayashi.
This girl hadn't gone to the High-End Area to participate in the festival but was instead taking advantage of the festival to run around, tasting all sorts of delicious food.
At this moment, the guests at the High-End Area gradually increased.
It wasn't that they didn't want to eat Yuuki's cooking, but they didn't need to queue up themselves. They could just send a few subordinates to queue up and buy things.
....
As time passed, the first wave of students collectively moved to the end of the line to queue up again.
Though they had already tasted Yuuki's cooking—
—One bun wasn't enough for anyone. These delicious buns... one had to eat several more. So, they preferred to queue up here rather than leave.
Anyway, with Yuuki's cooking speed, it would soon be their turn again. Of course, Yuuki's speed also depended on others' speed; after all, the buns were freshly wrapped by others.
Rindō Kobayashi, at this moment, looked at the filling in the bun with a head full of question marks.
She really couldn't figure out why this bun would laugh...
And clearly, it was a deep-fried bun, but the texture of the vermicelli inside was completely unaffected.
Most importantly, the vermicelli had the taste of meat, and the meat juice was abundant—If she hadn't seen Yuuki fry this bun with her own eyes, she would even doubt whether this bun was actually deep-fried.
After all, such a large opening on the surface, and the inside was fried somewhat crispy, yet the vermicelli was perfectly fine, completely unaffected.
It could only be said that Yuuki's Golden Laughing Buns—as long as he didn't explain the principle, others couldn't guess...
....
Just as Rindō Kobayashi and others were completely bewildered, those who had been dispatched to buy buns brought the purchased Golden Laughing Buns to the High-End Area.
Golden buns placed on the table, and emitting silvery laughter—this left everyone present somewhat looking at each other in dismay.
It was a good thing these bun buyers were fast enough. Any later, and the bun skin would have softened, and then it wouldn't laugh anymore.
"Laughing buns... Erina, you should know what's going on, right?"
Looking at the constantly bouncing and laughing buns before him, Senzaemon Nakiri said.
"These buns are called Golden Laughing Buns. As for why they laugh, Hisako, you explain. I still have kitchen matters to attend to—"
After speaking, Erina Nakiri returned to the kitchen.
Hearing her Young lady speak, Hisako Arato quickly told everyone the principle Yuuki had told them.
....
"Are you SURE you're not making up a story? How could this principle possibly work??"
For Sōe Nakiri, who specialized in researching various advanced cooking techniques—after hearing this principle, he felt it was impossible...
"The principle of the Golden Laughing Buns is not wrong... But Yuuki-sama also said—only HE can make the Golden Laughing Buns—Others trying to imitate will only fail in the end." Hisako Arato knew Sōe's thoughts.
"It should be because of his special ability. We still know too little about this Inferno ability..." Mana Nakiri voiced her speculation.
Wanting to make these dishes based on such a principle—only Yuuki's peculiar special ability could achieve it—others simply couldn't.
"Never mind all that! While the buns are still hot, let's just EAT!" Senzaemon Nakiri stated.
Never mind whether it could be done now or not; eating was the key. The buns had already stopped laughing now, meaning the optimal time had passed.
So, if they didn't eat now, the taste might be even worse later. To not be able to taste Yuuki's dish at its best moment was a pity.
After Senzaemon Nakiri finished speaking, everyone else stopped waiting and took a bite.
Due to the protection of the thermal membrane on the vermicelli, even after so much time, the temperature was still very high.
This one bite—scalding hot meat juice and vermicelli rushed into their mouths.
This made them, just like the Polar Star residents, completely reluctant to spit out the buns in their mouths...
On this day, who knows how many people at Totsuki would be scalded...
But for the scalded guests, this was all their own desire. After all, such deliciousness—EVEN BEING SCALDED WAS WORTH IT!
