LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 30
30 Are You Being Selfish Today?
After all the remaining candidates holding the “Eternal Spirit Sword” were driven out,
Erina and Hisako also left the exam room.
In the silence, a footstep sounded suddenly,
Senzaemon, wearing a Japanese-style kimono, slowly walked out from behind a dark stone pillar.
Just now, he saw the entire assessment process.
In the end, he also saw what decision Erina made.
Is this how much cooking angered his granddaughter?
Senzaemon glanced at the dishes in front of him and slowly picked up his chopsticks.
Just after taking a bite, the old man’s eyes suddenly widened!
This taste!
This level!
How could it fail?
…………
Erina came home and did nothing,
It took her a full afternoon to gradually calm down.
Just then, Hisako came over with a mobile phone,
“Miss, the commander-in-chief has called you!”
“Is it Grandpa’s call?”
Erina took the phone subconsciously,
Then he started talking to Senzaemon.
“Grandpa, it’s me!”
“What? Have dinner together tonight?”
“Okay, I see, I’ll prepare in advance.”
“Well, grandpa, see you tonight!”
After finishing the call with Senzaemon, Erina looked at Hisako and said:
“Grandpa said, come and have dinner with me tonight!”
“Hisako, I’m going to cook now.”
“If you have nothing else to do, go back and rest first.”
“Don’t worry about me, I’m in a better mood now.”
At six o’clock in the afternoon, after Senzaemon finished his day’s work,
Back to the villa on time.
Erina has prepared a sumptuous dinner table.
The grandfather and grandson sat face to face and quietly enjoyed dinner.
While eating, Senzaemon put down his chopsticks:
“Today, are you in charge of presiding over the transfer student assessment?”
“What’s the result? What’s the pass rate for the transfer student assessment this time? How many people passed?”
Hearing Grandpa’s question, Erina also put down the tableware in her hand:
“Grandpa, today’s pass rate is 0!”
“60 candidates, none of them passed.”
“The pass rate is 0, right?”
Senzaemon thought for a moment when he heard Erina’s answer.
The next second, he looked at his granddaughter and said:
“Erina, I remember you told me about your dreams before.”
“You want to be, to be able to reign at the top of the food industry, to become the person who dominates everything in the food world, right?”
Hearing Grandpa’s question, Erina was slightly stunned.
Grandpa suddenly asked what to do with this?
Although he didn’t quite understand Grandpa’s intention, Erina nodded slightly after a few seconds:
“Yes!”
“grandfather!”
“This is my dream, and it is also the goal that I have been working hard for and want to achieve!”
Hearing Erina’s answer, Senzaemon calmly asked a second question:
“Then what do you think you need to have in order to achieve this goal?”
‘strength!”
Without thinking about it, Erina gave the answer!
But after answering, Erina seemed to feel that her answer was a bit hollow, so she added:
“I want to be the pinnacle of the gourmet world and become the one who dominates everything!”
“It is necessary to have the strength that everyone can look up to!”
Hearing Erina’s answer, Senzaemon smiled slightly:
“Your answer is indeed correct.”
“However, Grandpa feels that just having strength is definitely not enough!”
“You need all the other qualities at the same time!”
Hearing this, Erina’s beautiful eyes flashed a little doubt,
The next second, she said seriously:
“Grandpa, please advise!”
Senzaemon glanced at Erina, brushed his beard and smiled:
“Our grandfather and grandson are just chatting casually,”
“Don’t take it so seriously!”
“However, since you want to know, then grandpa will tell you what he thinks about grandpa.”
“From Grandpa’s point of view!”
“I want to be the pinnacle of the gourmet world, to be the one who dominates everything,”
“What you need is not just strength!”
“At the same time, you must also gain everyone’s approval!”
“Received the approval of everyone?”
Hearing this, Erina frowned subconsciously,
What does this mean?
Looking at Erina who was puzzled, Senzaemon said slowly:
“Do you think that when you have strength, others will recognize you?”
“In fact, this kind of thinking is very absurd.”
“In the ancient celestial dynasty, there is a word, I don’t know if you have heard of it!”
“Have both ability and integrity!”
“That’s what Grandpa wants to talk to you about today.”
“Why do those ancestors put the word virtue in front of the word talent?”
“It’s because everyone thinks that virtue is far more important than talent!”
“Strength, of course, is a very important factor.”
“But that’s not all.”
“Grandpa said that, can you understand?”
Erina naturally understood what Senzaemon said.
It just made her feel a little puzzled, why did Grandpa tell her this so well today?
Looking at Senzaemon, Erina asked with some doubts:
“Grandpa, why did you think that you would suddenly talk to me about this today?”
Taking a deep look at Erina, Senzaemon’s eyes were a little deep and he said:
“Today, have you made a favoritism?”
“I… made a favoritism today?”
Hearing what Grandpa said, the expression on Erina’s face instantly froze.
The next second, she hurriedly stood up and said:
“Grandpa, you… how could you suddenly say such a thing.”
“I… I didn’t do any favoritism!”
Looking at Erina, Senzaemon smiled and said:
“As for today’s transfer student assessment, the pass rate is 0!”
“Erina, are you sure you didn’t do any favoritism?”
Looking at Erina whose eyes were a little dull,
The next second, Senzaemon’s voice came:
“Actually, I’ve been in the exam room all the time today!”
“I also saw everything that happened in the exam room today.”
“In the beginning, under your momentum, the group of people who were scared away did not have the qualifications to enter our school. I agree with this.”
“But in the back, those few people who gathered up the courage to stay should not belong to this category, right?”*
