Outside, an hour had passed, but in the Chef God Space, it had already been a day.
Shinohara Shigetaro occasionally glanced at the timer above the venue, his brow furrowed.
"He has been standing there for an hour, hasn't he?"
Dojima Yin glanced at the other chefs; the remaining eight chefs were each busy at their cooking stations, in a flurry of activity.
Hmm.
But when Dojima Yin looked closely, he found an anomaly.
There was a female chef who looked like a recent college graduate. She placed a plump, beautiful cod about twenty centimeters long and weighing three to four pounds flat on the cooking station. Her fair hands gently rested on the fish's belly, eyes closed, while she muttered something continuously.
This female chef also attracted the attention and discussion of the entire audience.
"A special cooking technique, perhaps?" Dojima Yin said, his gaze lingering between the female chef and Xia Yu, with an expression of interest.
