"The magic of cooking is going to disappear..."
[Su Chang: Cooking magic... what is that??]
[March 7th: No way... they're going to kill me again, right? QAQ]
[Furina: I have a bad feeling...]
[Honkai Impact 3rd - Himeko: Could this be....]
[Honkai Impact 3rd: Himeko - What Happened That Time]
Kiana: Himeko-sensei??
[Keqing: Could Himeko have been involved too...?]
[Ningguang: What exactly is the magic of cooking? Does such magical magic exist in the world??]
[Xiangling: Impossible! Absolutely impossible!]
Amidst the questions raised by everyone.
in the picture.
It was in the academy in a certain year.
The students at the academy, who are celebrating the Lunar New Year together, are putting their skills to good use in preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.
"Is there something important that you've called everyone here?"
Kiana: "Is this an emergency mission? Is it time for me to show off my skills again?!"
Bronya: "Bronya is ready to strike at any time."
"An emergency mission? But on this day, could it be..."
Theresa: "That's right! Our task this time is to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner together! We need to get ready before New Year's Eve, and everyone has to cook!"
Kiana: "Eh? Cooking is such a hassle—"
Theresa: "The person who wins the cooking competition will receive a New Year's gift that I've misappropriated... no, I mean, carefully prepared!"
Kiana: "Ah! I'll participate!"
"Wait a minute, Theresa, you didn't say before that it was bought with misappropriated school funds!"
Theresa: "It's a rare Spring Festival, don't worry about that kind of thing!"
Each of them drew a bamboo stick from the divination tube in Theresa's hand.
Theresa and Himeko were assigned to the same team.
"Damn it, we're paired with Theresa. We're doomed..."
Theresa: "What do you mean by this! Don't underestimate my culinary skills honed over many years!"
"Come on, it's not like we just met. Last time, I was the one who threw away that charred pie for you."
Theresa: "Hmph, that's all just a facade. It's time to unleash my ultimate weapon!"
[Su Chang: Theresa...Does Theresa know how to cook?]
Kiana: Isn't this... the Spring Festival from that year?!
[Keqing: Theresa doesn't seem very reassuring!]
Himeko: You'll understand once you keep watching....
[Xiangling: A pie baked until it's charred....]
[Furina: (Judging from the description, her skills are even comparable to mine...)]
But to everyone's surprise, the screen was filled with surprises.
The dishes that Theresa cooked actually exceeded everyone's expectations!
inside the room.
As expected, Himeko took the opportunity to drink heartily with the wine bottle, showing no intention of helping Theresa.
(I'm terrible at cooking, so I'd only be a hindrance if I went. I might as well have a good drink on my rare day off.)
And not for a long time.
"Himeko, you're here! Come and try the food I just made!"
"Hmm? It smells so good, is it instant cup noodles?"
"Hehehe, you're quite surprised, aren't you, Himeko! Ta-da! Theresa's Special Kung Pao Chicken!"
"It's really finished? And it even looks pretty good?!"
"Really? How rude of me! Not only does it look good, but the taste is guaranteed too!"
"Did you really make this? You know how to make it??"
Himeko was stunned, staring in disbelief at the delicious-looking Kung Pao Chicken on the plate that Theresa was holding.
Theresa, however, simply raised her chin.
"Of course! First, dice the chicken breast and marinate it with cooking wine, white pepper, cornstarch, and a little salt. Peel and fry the peanuts until cooked. Briefly stir-fry the diced chicken and then remove it immediately."
"After heating oil over low heat, add Sichuan peppercorns and dried chilies and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add scallion segments, followed by diced chicken and stir-fry together. Finally, add roasted peanuts and seasoning sauce and thicken with cornstarch."
"That's what it says on the menu!"
Theresa proudly raised her chin.
Himeko's opinion of Theresa changed dramatically after hearing this.
"It sounds quite professional. I never expected Theresa to actually know how to cook!"
And after tasting it.
(It has a slightly numbing and spicy taste upon first bite, followed by a sweetness, accompanied by a mellow sourness. The different flavors blend together without conflicting at all, instead highlighting their individual characteristics.)
(The chicken is tender and juicy, the peanuts are crunchy, and the scallions are sweet; their textures complement and blend together perfectly, creating a wonderful balance!)
Himeko and everyone watching on screen were caught off guard.
Theresa was surprisingly discreet.
Theresa seemed to notice the disbelief on Himeko's face as well.
"Right! It's delicious, isn't it! How could our headmaster be stumped by something as simple as cooking!"
"Although I still can't quite believe it, this Kung Pao Chicken is really delicious. I didn't expect Theresa to have such a secret."
"Hmph! Of course! This is my family's secret technique!"
Theresa chuckled sweetly.
"Grandpa taught me this!"
Listening to Theresa's proud words.
There are also detailed recipes for cooking and a plate of delicious-looking Kung Pao Chicken laid out in front of you.
It wasn't just Himeko whose expression wavered.
I'm gradually starting to believe that Theresa is truly hiding her true abilities.
Even the countless viewers in front of the screen were amazed by Theresa!
Who would have thought... that Theresa, who doesn't seem like she knows how to cook at all, actually... has this kind of skill??
[Raiden Mei: Headmistress... is she really that amazing....]
[Xiangling: This...is indeed the most perfect way to make Kung Pao Chicken...!]
[Xiangling: It seems Miss Theresa is also a hidden culinary master?!]
[March 7th: It really doesn't look like it!!]
[Silver Wolf: Did Otto personally teach him cooking?]
[Kafka: That sounds pretty plausible.]
[Su Chang: Could it be related to the legendary cooking magic??]
[March 7th: Could there really be such magic??]
[March 7th: Honkai Impact 3rd can't be this outrageous, can it??]
[Paimon: Paimon needs to learn too!!]
[Paimon: Paimon wants to make so much delicious food every day that we can't finish it all!]
[Ayaka Kamisato: Perhaps it's some kind of culinary tradition passed down through generations?!]
Himeko:
[Furina: But... I really have a feeling I'm about to get stabbed...]
And this was accompanied by skepticism from the crowd.
in the picture.
One dish after another was served.
As expected, the Kaslana family should not be near the kitchen.
To everyone's surprise, Theresa's Kung Pao Chicken was also exceptionally good.
Himeko and everyone else were also filled with anticipation for Theresa's second dish.
(It's almost time to wrap things up. Everything's going smoothly for everyone... I guess.)
(But I never expected Theresa to be a hidden master chef; judging from her appearance, she's probably even younger than Chef Boy.)
Himeko silently marveled as she walked into the kitchen.
"Hmm? That's...."
Just see the picture.
On the sofa in the restaurant, a petite figure with silver hair lay fast asleep with her eyes closed.
"Theresa, Theresa 640, wake up!"
Himeko stepped forward and woke Theresa up.
Everyone assumed that Theresa was just tired and taking a nap.
"Hmm... Himeko?"
"You'll catch a cold if you sleep here. Shall I take you back to your dorm?"
"No...it's not time yet."
"time?"
Ji Zi was a little confused.
However, Theresa said something that puzzled everyone.
"If you don't get enough sleep, you won't be able to cook well."
Suddenly.
Himeko's expression was quite interesting.
With doubt and incomprehension
"??? Why are sleeping and cooking related?"
"Grandpa taught me that as long as you prepare the ingredients and recipe and put them on the cooking table, you can take a nap and the food will be ready!"
Theresa answered obediently.
But the answer given.
This left Himeko and all the viewers in front of the screen completely baffled!
Prepare the ingredients and recipe...
Take another nap...
The food is ready?
