Invitation from player Yukihira Joichiro!

—————————————————————————————————————————————

 "This is the meat I chopped up during training this afternoon, how about a beef burger?"

 Soma Yukihira turned his head to look at the big guy standing next to the cooler and asked earnestly.

 "Sure, I'm not picky about food."

 Flash nodded.

 He was a little interested in the Soma Yukihira in front of him.

 She seemed to be the same age as him, so could she really make a delicious burger?

 Flash didn't even know how to make an omelet sandwich at home, and he always left it a mess.

 But even if what he cooked was disgusting, as a brother, he gobbled it up against his conscience.

 My father's good friend's son is naturally his good brother. We'll be in the same school in the future, so I have to give him face.

 There's nothing wrong with that.

 Soma Yukihira thought about it, took a handful of black peppercorns and put them in the grinder, ground them into a powder with slightly fine particles, and then sprinkled it on the beef stuffing. Next, he sprinkled a small amount of salt, mixed it evenly, put the beef filling on top, and then pinched it into an oval shape and flattened it into a beef patty.

 Then he chopped the onion. The whole process went smoothly and the knife in his hand even left an image on the cutting board.

 Flash, off to the side, was stunned.

 My God!

 What the hell is up with this speed?

 Flash said he had never seen a knife this fast.

 Even my mother, who cooks all year round, would be impressed by Soma Yukihira's hand speed.

 Impressive!

 Flash suddenly felt that maybe he had underestimated his new friend before.This guy is really amazing!

 [Flash Thompson's commotion, getting a trace of white jade.]

 Huh?

 What's the matter?

 Yukihira Soma paused for a moment, a hint of surprise in her eyes, and turned to look at Flash.

 "What's wrong?"

 At Soma Yukihira's curious and inquisitive look, Flash touched his nose uncomfortably.

 "It's okay, how do you like black pepper? You don't dislike it, do you?"

 Soma Yukihira shook her head.

 "It doesn't bother." Flash waved his hands and patted his chest, "As long as the quantity is large and the food is full, I'll eat whatever you cook."

 Soma Yukihira nodded, put the onion in the pan and sautéed it until it changed color slightly, then added some chopped thyme and a small amount of salt, then stirred it a few times until the onion caramelized, and took it out again.

 "Sizzle~"

 The bacon danced on the pan, and the aroma of barbecue filled the kitchen and the entire store, making Flash's stomach protest even more.

 Apply olive oil evenly on both sides of the patties, put them in a pan with bacon grease, and fry them over low heat until golden brown.

 At the same time, add the crushed garlic to season, then flip and add a small amount of butter to give a light milky flavor to the burger.

Toast the hamburger buns on both sides, then spread a layer of mayonnaise on the buns, place the hamburger on top, sprinkle with gruyere cheese, light the blowtorch, melt the cheese and adhere it perfectly to the hamburger.

 Then place the bacon on top of the melted cheese, spread evenly the previously fried onion sauce, fresh tomato slices, arugula and balsamic vinegar, mix well, place on top of the tomato slices, add the last piece of beef burger and cover with the bun.

 It's a meat lover's paradise.

 The ultimate thick barbecue burger with cheese is ready.

 "Please enjoy."

 A huge burger about ten centimeters tall was placed on a plate by Soma Yukihira and placed in front of Flash.

 "This," Flash's eyes widened in shock. It was the first time he had seen such a large hamburger. "This is really a hamburger?"

 The aroma of the grilled meat, the slight saltiness of the cheese, mixed with a faint milky aroma, and the fresh smell of arugula and tomato slices kept entering Flash's nose.

 Terrible!

 No!

 Maybe it's the real burger.

 You can call it "the miracle burger."

 He opens his mouth wide and takes a bite. The beef burger bursts instantly with the rich aroma of the sauce in your mouth. The perfect fusion of cheese and burger, the sour taste of tomato slices and arugula, not only won't make people tired of eating, but will cause a feeling of not being able to stop.

 "Gurgle~"

 I was clearly eating, but my stomach was still firmly protesting with the sound of hunger.

 It was as if the huge burger in front of him couldn't fill his stomach at all.

 I kept urging him to take bite after bite.

 After Flash successfully finished the Ultimate Cheese Thick BBQ Burger, he touched his stomach with some regret.  

 Although he still wanted to eat, his stomach was already full and he couldn't eat any more.

 "Your food is so delicious, better than any food I've ever eaten."

 Flash's eyes sparkled as he looked at Soma Yukihira.

 [A small amount of white jade was obtained from Flash Thompson.]

 Hmm?

 Soma Yukihira raised her eyebrows.

 It seemed like she had accidentally found a way to brush off the white jade.

 "From now on, we're good brothers. Don't worry, as long as I'm here at school, no one will dare bully you."

 Flash patted Soma Yukihira's shoulder hard, his face full of excitement.

 "I think your cooking is better than the chef hired by Harry's family. I tasted the sandwiches when I went to his house for a party last time, and they were nothing compared to yours."

 "Who is Harry?

 A trace of confusion flashed in Soma Yukihira's eyes.

 "A second generation rich guy from a wealthy family. By the way, I'm telling you," Flash lowered his voice, "I don't like that guy."

 "Oh!"

 Soma Yukihira nodded and didn't attach any importance to this little matter.

 ...

 As night fell, after waiting for father and son Thompson to leave, Soma Yukihira cleaned up the kitchen and went to find Shiroichi Yukihira alone. Then he said to his father with some dissatisfaction.

 Toasting the hamburger buns on both sides and spreading them with a layer of mayonnaise.

 "Dad, I don't want to go to school. I just want to stay in the store. My dream is to protect this store."

 "Times have changed, Soma."

Yukihira Joichiro seemed to have foreseen his son's reaction.

"Now you need to get in touch with the world and find your own way."

 "How could you...?"

Soma Yukihira clenched his fists, lowered his head and his whole body was shaking violently.

Yukihira Joichiro suddenly put his fist against Yukihira Soma's chest with a serious expression.

 "It's time for you to start your journey, Soma."

 "What?" Yukihira Soma suddenly looked at his father, 'What's wrong with the store?'.

"I have accumulated enough [White Jade] during this period of time. It's time to..."

 Yukihira Joichiro opens the exchange store.

The [Player Invitation Letter] was selected.

[Please confirm the inviter].

 Looking at the familiar names one by one, a complex look shone in his eyes, and he finally fixed his eyes on one of the names.

Next, he clicked OK.

 The next second, a white light flashed.

An old man dressed in a Japanese kimono, wooden clogs, with white hair and beard and a scar cut across his right eye, appeared in the ready-to-eat restaurant.

 "Saiha... Jiuichirou?"

Nakiri Senzaemon looked at the familiar man in front of him, a little dazed.

Yukihira Joichiro stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Commander-in-chief, I regret to invite you to this world. I would like to ask you to rebuild Totsuki Academy here."
