Culinary Chaos Ch. 1 - Introduction

It's currently a dark, snowy night. Most people would stay in their warm home instead of going out for dinner.
Every year, no matter the season, restaurants belonging to the world renowned chef 'Yukihira Soma' would always be filled with customers.
Reservations are always filled throughout the year. Who would blame them? Everybody wants to have a taste of that demon-like chefs food.

Food critiques all over the world have given this man the highest rating for his main restaurant located in Japan, Tokyo.
Many say that getting a table reserved is impossible. Let's take a peek inside their main restaurant 'Quisé'.

"Listen up! One lamb, one chicken, one risotto!" Soma yelled through the kitchen.
"Yes, Chef!" everybody responded in unison to Soma's command.

"Three minutes to the pass, okay everybody?", "Three minutes heard, chef!" Soma said while everybody instantly replied letting him know that it'll be done.
"Everythings cooked perfectly! Let's clean up and shut it down guys, this was the last ticket!" Soma announced with relief.

Now that everything was cleaned up and the restaurant mostly empty except for Soma, he could finally relax and sit down for a while.

Soma took grabbed his phone out of the pocket and looked at the time. "Ugh, three missed calls and ten messages again?" he frowned.
"Well, I guess I've been pretty busy lately and neglected her slightly, let's just give her a call." Soma said.

"Yoo Erina!" he energetically greeted the person. "Soma-kun! What are you doing? Are you done cooking? Closed up the restaurant already?" Erina questioned him.
"Yes-yes, relax. I'm about to close the restaurant, I'll be home in roughly a hour.. I'll make sure to give you more attention then now that we're closing it for a month." he replied in a calm tone. "Are you sure closing it for a month is going to be okay? Can't your Sous-chef handle this?" Erina worried.

"Everything's gonna be alright darling, ya know I don't like letting the restaurant run without me being there," "B-but are you sure? It's not like Totsuki is that important to you anymore, I mean you're a world-class chef." Erina interrupted him. "Like I said Erina, everything's fine. And I mean I'm gonna be a guest at the Training Camp of Hell." Soma tried to make her understand while he casually laughed. "If you say so, Soma-kun. I've prepared dinner for you, make sure to be home quickly!" Erina commanded making sure he heard every single last word with a stern tone.

"Oooh, now you're scaring me. I'll make sure to be there in 30 minutes! Can't miss your food at any cost!" Soma wholehearthedly laughed.
"Don't drive recklessly you dummy!" Erina said. "I'll see ya then, bye!" Soma hung up before Erina could say anything else.

*Crrrliick*

Erina could hear the front door being unlocked and patiently waited in the living room. She slightly took a peak at her watch to see how long it took for Soma to get here, making sure he didn't drive too reckless. The drive from their restaurant and their home is usually one hour long, but she knows that Soma could easily make that a quick 30 minutes.
'He's always so reckless when driving..' Erina let out a heavy sigh.

"Hey Erina!" Soma greeted her with a warm smile that would make any woman fall for him. "I told you not to drive recklessly.." Erina stated worriedly.
"Sorry, I just couldn't afford to make your food get cold, haha." Soma laughed it off easily. "Mou... Just make sure to take care while driving, you know that there's been a lot of crashes recently.." Erina pouted.

"Anyway! Let's eat." Soma exclaimed. "You're right.." Erina simply replied.

Soma glanced over to Erina and was surprised that she fell asleep on the table. 'Hah, she's just unbelievable.' Soma smirked. He nonchalantly picked her up in his arms and started walking towards their bedroom, Soma laid her down on the bed and covered her with the blanket. He stared a few seconds at Erina before giving her a kiss on the forehead wishing her a good nights rest. "Soma-kun..." he could hear her calling his name while she was sleeping. Soma just laughed it off and closed the bedroom door behind him. He sat down on the couch and pulled out his phone. A quick glance at it showed him that his Dad has sent him a message. 'Huh? Pops texting me this late at night?' Soma was confused, wondering why his Dad took the effort to write something this late. 'Let's just read it I guess?' Soma thought and unlocked his phone.

The message contained the following:
[Pops, 4:38AM]
Yoo Soma! I know it's late, but congratulations on your success!

Soma thought about what he should reply with and sent this.
[Soma, 4:52AM]
Thanks Pops, but why are you texting me this late at night?
Ya usually don't do that stuff.Soma quickly got a reply from his Dad.
[Pops, 4:53AM]
Can't a Father care about his son?
[Soma, 4:53AM]
I mean, yeah you can, but it's so late.
And you know that I go to Totsuki tomorrow to attend as a guest.
Why don't you come, Pops?
[Pops, 4:54AM]
I'm waaaay too busy, son.
Anyway, this wasn't the only reason why I've messaged you.
When are you finally going to propose to Erina-chan?
I'm starting to get old, and I don't want to die without any grandchildren.
[Soma, 4:56AM]
W-what! Stop joking around like that Pops..
And I don't know, it just seems like that I'm way too busy right now to put other things on my list.
[Pops, 4:56AM]
C'mon Soma! Ya know that's only your excuse!
Do it already! Ya both have been goin' out with eachother for like 5 years!
[Soma, 4:57AM]
It's 5 and a half years.. I don't know, I just think I'm not really ready for it yet..
[Pops, 4:59AM]
You'll be fine, Soma. You're totally ready for it.
Didn't that Hayama kid already get married?
[Soma, 5:03AM]
Everybody from that generation pretty much got married already.
I'm just not sure yet, Pops.
[Pops, 5:03AM]
You'll be fine kiddo, anyway I hafta go, Soma!
I'll see you around.
[Soma, 5:04AM]
Alright, Pops good night.

'Can I really pull this off? But how?' Soma still thought about the words his father told him. 'I mean I've never been good with these romance shenanigans..'
"Maybe it's just because I'm too tired, so I better go to bed - Got a big day tomorrow." Soma said and went to the bedroom to sleep for at least a few hours even if it isn't enough.

Erina, still half asleep, tried to slowly open her eyes. She looked to her left but didn't see Soma. 'Where's that guy again..' she tiredly thought.
That's when she suddenly smelled something so heavenly that it instantly woke her up and made her run out of the bedroom.

"Oh, did I wake you up?" Soma asked. "Uhh.. No" Erina shyly replied. "I could've cooked for both of us, Soma-kun..", "You know you didn't get much sleep the past few weeks. And this is the minimum that I can do for you." is what Erina said. "Erina, you know how much I like cooking and besides I've had plenty of sleep, thanks for worrying." Soma smiled. "What are you cooking?" Erina, very interested, asked and peaked over his shoulder.

"I've been deconstruction the Eggs benedict for a few days already and try to come up with new ways to prep and present it.", "Does it smell good? Because you're drooling." Soma laughed wholeheartedly. "I-I'm not! It smells adequate, that's all!" Erina was very flustered.

"You can sit down at the table already, I'll be done in around 5 minutes, Erina." Soma said. "Uh-uh" is all that Erina could answer with.

...
"Soo? How is it, Erina?" Soma questioned the blonde.
"Ad-A-Adequate at best. You've still got a long way to go to b-beat me and make me acknowledge your food." Erina lied.
"Maaan, so I'm still not there, huh? Guess this what's fun about you." Soma simply grinned. "W-what do you mean?!" Erina slightly yelled. "Nothing! Haha, calm down." Soma tried calming her down. "Anyway, we have to leave in around two hours, I'll drive okay?" Soma said. "If you drive as reckless as yesterday night, then I'll kill you." Erina threatened him.

"Don't worry, so let's finish up breakfast and get ready to leave." Soma stated.
