Food Wars: My adoptive mother is Nakiri Managi Chapter 051

Released on June 20, 2025

The twilight deepened.

After all the French dishes on the table had been tasted, Chu Yang, as an executive, continued to encourage Mujikuri.

Although her confit duck leg was well-made, there were still many flaws.

Meanwhile.

Shungate Tei.

There were also deficiencies in many details.

Therefore, this inspection and evaluation was destined to not earn her a star rating recognized by the WGO Gourmet Organization!

When Yuanguo heard the news, she could only sigh.

However, this was not a lament of her own incompetence, but rather a sense of relief after self-reflection.

After all, what she was facing now was an existence almost mythologized in the culinary world, whose cooking skills were so exquisite and taste so keen that even the second-rank executive, Lantabi, could hardly hope to rival!

Chu Yang’s existence.

For Mujikuri Yuanguo, it was definitely a challenge, but also an opportunity.

So, even though she failed to obtain a star rating, she still learned some valuable experience in this silent contest!

…

Finally.

After some simple conversation.

Chu Yang and Lantabi, the two WGO executives, prepared to get up and leave Shungate Tei.

“Wait… Chu… Chu Yang!”

But just then, Erina suddenly called out.

“Is there anything else?”

Chu Yang asked.

“I want to know, as a first-rank executive second only to Nakiri Mana, why did you choose to serve as a lecturer in our Totsuki Academy?”

“Could it be that you also saw the shortcomings of our Totsuki education system and wanted to personally intervene to change the status quo?”

Nakiri Erina asked curiously.

She should have been extremely surprised to learn that the other party’s true identity was a first-rank executive.

However, she simply couldn’t find anything in Chu Yang that aligned with Totsuki Academy. Well, although his teaching ability was indeed quite strong!

But.

This was not enough to explain.

Why Chu Yang would choose to voluntarily serve as a Totsuki lecturer at this time!

…

Elite education.

Is the policy currently adopted by Totsuki Academy!

Under an extremely strict selection and elimination system, Totsuki produces top culinary talents every year, and also established Totsuki’s current position as the number one in Neon Country.

However.

Any educational system.

No matter how perfect, fair, and just it is, there will still be drawbacks and deficiencies.

In such a high-pressure competitive environment, students may be eliminated and expelled due to fear of a small mistake, which can lead to complete despair about their future path in life, and ultimately force them to remain in a constant state of mental tension!

Having pressure!

Naturally, it’s not a bad thing.

But when the pressure becomes so great that it exceeds the critical value, pressure often only causes more serious physical and mental damage.

The one hailed as “Shura,” Saiba Joichiro, is the most typical example.

His tragedy.

Was the failure of Totsuki’s education!

Furthermore, within Totsuki Academy, the “Ten Elite” power structure severely exploits the rights of ordinary students.

And this extremely unbalanced system directly led to intensified unequal competition and conflicts among students, which ultimately resulted in Azami Nakiri’s coup d’état in the original story!

In short, although Totsuki represents the number one culinary academy in Neon Country.

But the internal conflicts and problems are actually quite numerous.

…

Chu Yang paused.

Then he slowly walked to her side, reached out and “kabedon-ed” the wall, and smiled: “I don’t care about the future fate of Totsuki.”

Erina looked at Chu Yang, who was so close, and smelled the faint scent on him, her cheeks involuntarily blushing.

However.

She did not avoid Chu Yang’s intimate gesture.

She just looked at him with great surprise: “Then your purpose is…”

“You!”

“Huh? Me… me?”

Erina was stunned!

“Don’t you think conquering the God’s Tongue is a very proud thing?” Chu Yang chuckled.

“Conquer me?”

Her heart skipped a beat.

Undoubtedly, this was a challenger’s declaration, directly aiming at what Erina cherished most in her heart. She couldn’t help but let her thoughts run wild.

“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. You and I have a long time together at Totsuki!”

“Erina, you just need to know that having the God’s Tongue doesn’t necessarily mean you have the most correct answers and choices in cooking! If you get used to a certain taste standard, you’ll ultimately find it difficult to break out of the box and accept and appreciate new styles and ideas.”

“In the end, you’ll only become more narrow-minded and unable to capture the diversity and infinite possibilities of the culinary world.”

With that, Chu Yang got up and left Shungate Tei.

Seeing this, Lantabi quickly followed behind him, scurrying away together!

…

Coming back to her senses.

Nakiri Erina saw her secretary Hisako, with her hands clasped to her chest.

Her eyes were dazed as she looked in the direction Chu Yang disappeared, murmuring, “Oh my god, he’s a first-rank executive!”

Erina felt speechless, crossing her arms over her chest, and remembering Chu Yang’s parting words, she felt even more depressed: “Hisako, can you sober up? What if he’s an executive?”

“In the WGO Gourmet Organization, isn’t my mother the one with the most say?”

“Young Miss.”

“You can’t say that!”

“Chu Yang is only in his twenties, yet he has such ability and achievements.”

“If you let him grow for a few more years, his influence might even surpass your mother’s!”

Hisako scratched the back of her head and chuckled.

“Hmph!”

“Him?”

“It’s still too early for him to surpass my mother!”

“Unless his cooking can completely conquer the God’s Tongue, otherwise he will forever live in the shadow of my mother. This… I… I know this deeply!”

“Alright, never mind him.”

“I only know that we need to return to Totsuki Academy as soon as possible to find the Headmaster.”
