The canteen of the headquarters is completely different from the simple and bright architectural style that Chu Jianchen imagined. It is a complex of antique buildings full of elegant and unique atmosphere. As soon as he entered the door, he was a tortuous gallery, which was closely paved into a long corridor with blue stones. Under the gallery with bright colors and dyes depicting magnificent patterns, the clear stream was bent and winding through the edge of the corridor. Koi of various colors swam gracefully in the stream, floating on the water from time to time, spitting out a bubble of no size, and feeling at ease.

Walking through the quiet and winding gallery, what comes into view is a Feng Shui pool ground by bluestone. The small lotus flowers in the pool bloom out of seasons, full of a faint elegance.

The walls of the canteen are hung with dragons and phoenix paintings and copybooks, full of bookish atmosphere, like a study room and a restaurant. The scent of sandalwood fills Chu Jianchen's side, and the gentle sunlight shoots in from the hollow carved windows, sprinkling on the sandalwood table beside the window, filling the breath of life.

Erina, who had been dressed in a white chef's uniform, walked out from the heavy counter in the canteen, walked to Chu Jianchen with elegant and calm steps, squinted her eyes and looked up and down, and said in an alien and indifferent tone: "Isn't this the admiral who wants to send me and Kuroko into the decomposition machine? Why, do you think my existence is too annoying, and you want to completely decompose me early in the morning?"

"Don't you dislike my character and not worthy of you? After decomposition, you can leave this place that makes you feel disgusted. Isn't it the best of both worlds?" Chu Jianchen raised Yang Mei and said slowly as he looked at the first arrogant ship girl in the fleet in history.

"Haha, admiral, have you been using the slave contract to enslave the ship girl for too long, so that you have forgotten that our ship girl has an independent personality, not the fact that the toys in your hands?"

Erina smiled coldly, looked at the ship girl surrounding Chu Jianchen with an unconfrontational look, and hummed disdainful contempt from her stilted nose: "Since the Admiral is not here to dismantle me today, then you are here to have a meal?"

"Actually, I brought breakfast in for everyone to eat, and I found out that you actually opened the canteen and supply station of the ward mansion, so I came here to take a look."

Chu Jianchen looked up and down at Erina's chef outfit, which made her feel a little panicked and hurriedly glanced at herself: "It's not that I have something stuck in it, right?"

In order to counter the arrogant spirit of Erina, Chu Jianchen used the legendary killer weapon - the decomposition machine. Although Erina and Kuroko successfully understood that this was not a place that would make them act willful, the sequelae that followed was that Erina had no favoritism for him, but instead had a gentle attitude towards the ship girl who didn't like him when she first arrived, and was full of double standards of rotten smell.

"Ahem, Erina, they all say that your meals are delicious. Thank you so much. It's not easy to cook so many people at once, right? If you can't be too busy, you can talk to them. They are also good at cooking, because they should be able to share a lot of burdens for you." Chu Jianchen coughed and looked at Erina who suddenly became a little panicked.

After hearing Chu Jianchen's words, Yunlong and the others showed cheerful smiles at Erina and expressed their willingness to help Erina prepare food for the people in the fleet.

"No need, maybe for you, cooking is a very casual and ordinary thing, but for me, it is a noble and great cause. From every grain of salt to every knife, there are extremely strict requirements, and it is not something that people with a casual attitude can accomplish."

Erina shook her head, swept her to Yunlong and the others with a serious and sharp look, and said mercilessly: "I'm sorry, I didn't see the light belonging to the chef on you, so I can't hand over the kitchen to you, please forgive me."

"Why do you do this? I am still a little confident in my craft. Although what you make is delicious, I am still very confident in my craft!"

"Even Bei Shangsan has never denied my skills. Where did you come from? Believe it or not, I will just use a torpedo to blow it into a tempura and put it in your mouth?"

"I'm not convinced either. I'm talking about people like maggots. What kind of confidence is supporting you?"

Oi, who followed Chu Jianchen in, was angry with Erina's polite and contemptuous tone, stared at Erina with the same hatred. Her favorability, which had risen sharply because of the delicious food, instantly fell to the bottom, and her attitude towards her became colder.

"Sorry, I may be too direct. In my eyes, no matter which chef's cuisine is, it has unconcealed flaws. It is no different for me to give this imperfect cuisine to the guests on the table. For cooking, every process must be perfect, and the disposal of every material must be just right. Only the cooking completed in this way can be perfectly prepared by chefs standing at the top of the top. Gorgeous and perfect are the true mystery pursued by the cuisine. If you think you have the strength to defeat me, I am happy to accept everyone's challenge."

Erina chuckled and accepted Oi and the others' challenge with great confidence.

"Okay! Then I'll come first. I will definitely not lose to you by the beef hotpot made for North Sangs!!"

Just as Oi was about to come forward to challenge, Chu Jianchen knocked her on the head and pulled her back: "Oii, there is no time. In addition to delivering breakfast, I also want to explain to you the battle tasks of the family gambling and the cooking challenges. After the family gambling is over, I will hold a cooking competition in the garrison palace. The person who wins the first place can be satisfied. If you are not convinced, you will defeat Erina in the competition to win the first place."

"Erina, during the cooking competition, I will let you see the ultimate cuisine that has been preserved for 5,000 years. Please look forward to it."

Chu Jianchen showed a confident smile to Erina. The light in her eyes even made Erina, who was one and one million confident in her cooking skills, shaken a little: "This person seems to be serious."

"Then I'll look forward to it a little bit. My nominal admiral, if you can defeat me in cooking, I will recognize your dominance and sign a slave contract with you." Erina smiled coldly, and her eyes shot with a sharp and confident look: "But if you lose, I will apply to withdraw from the fleet. I hope you can keep your promise and let me leave freely."
