Chapter 173: Kikuchi Sonoka Kidnapped
Totsuki Academy is a renowned culinary school, famous in the culinary world. Due to its quality and reputation, nearly every aspiring young chef dreams of enrolling to become a world-class chef.
Admission to Totsuki is a great honor, a gateway to limitless opportunities. Parents are even willing to beg or offer their entire savings to secure a spot for their children, though such offers are always rejected.
Each year, around 1,000 students begin their first year of high school at Totsuki Academy. Of those, only about 100 survive to advance to the second year, and fewer than 10 graduate by the end of their third year.
With less than 1% of students typically completing Totsuki’s three-year culinary education, its alumni are the most skilled and sought-after chefs in the world.
Kikuchi Sonoka is one such graduate from last year. As a former Second Seat of the 89th Generation’s Elite Ten, her culinary skills are beyond question.
After graduating, she decided to open a Western-style restaurant named Shunkatei in Tokyo’s Shibuya district.
Though Shunkatei hasn’t been open for a full year, it’s never short of customers. Sonoka’s Western dishes captivate the palates of patrons from all walks of life.
Closing at 9:30 PM, Sonoka looked pleased but exhausted. A thin layer of sweat glistened on her forehead after a full day of serving customers and cooking.
"Alright, let’s head home and sleep. Gotta wake up early to prep for tomorrow’s opening."
Her large, ample breasts swayed slightly with each step.
It wasn’t uncommon for her to see drunken salarymen sprawled on the sidewalk or young girls curled up asleep in front of closed shops.
