Chapter 157 - SAIBA!!! That Cursed Name!!

"Wait!" After hearing Kouga's declaration towards the Ome, he had to disapprove "There is no need for a Shokugeki." he said.

Kouga looked at him with a tilted head "What do you mean?" he asked. Ome and the family of the swordfish temple were confused as well.

"Well, we came here to investigate who was responsible for all of the previous cases and now we found her, she is now under our hand. We should just restrain her and take her back to Totsuki to be charged with taking part in unofficial Shokugeki." Alexander said. He doesn't know why everyone was so excited about this Shokugeki.

Kouga walked to Alexander and wrapped his arm around his shoulder and came closer to his ear and whispered: "C'mon bro, I have just declared a Shokugeki against her, don't embarrass me, please, just let is pass, just this once, okay." Kouga had a puppy face. being rejected after he said those words will make him look uncool "C'mon, look at the bigger picture." Kouga said as he and Alexander looked at the daughter of this shop's owner. Alexander took the hint and sighed.

"Alright."

"Yay!" Kouga turned to the rainbow-haired girl and smirked "Rejoice Lesbian girl! You have been graced with the chance to be defeated on my hands in a Shokugeki." He proclaimed "Aria-chan, don't worry, I will protect you." Kouga gave the daughter of the owner a thumbs up to which only confused her.

Ome who was silent all along shrugged her shoulders "I am not interested in challenging you." She said causing Kouga to freeze and blood vein to pop on his forehead. He has just avoided Alexander's c.o.c.kblocking and now this girl dares to reject him.

"Hm? I don't seem to follow." Kouga said with a sweet smile "Can it be that you are afraid of this great me? I don't blame you! you should be afraid! not many people stood in front of me and walked away with a smile on their faces!" Kouga brushed his hair back with pride.

Anna then finally entered the shop to witness Kouga boasting about himself "Ugh!" she cringed before turning to Alexander "I have called Totsuki and informed them that we got hold of the trouble-maker." Alexander nodded in acknowledgment.

Ome who heard Kouga say those things about himself shook her head, she took a popsicle and put it in her mouth "You are simply unworthy." she said.

"...?" Kouga again was beyond confused. He looked behind him to see if she is maybe talking to someone other than him "She is talking to you." Alexader said making Kouga freeze in a confused smile. "But perhaps I may be worthy to challenge you so we can end this farce here at this moment." Alexander rolled up his sleeves and walked beside Kouga.

"Neither is you. You all are unworthy, no one is worthy to challenge me in the Seafood cuisine. Save yourself the embarrassment." Ome smirked, her confidence in her skills was beyond comprehension. Even her loss against the mysterious Noir Chef named Saiba was because she didn't cook in her field.

Alexander and Kouga looked at each other before "HAHAHHAHAHA!!!" they took off laughing as hard as they could "Man this is funny!! oh my god! my stomach!!" Kouga fell to the ground.

"Kahahaha!! Man, I am crying!! This is the best joke ever!!" Alexander laughed from the bottom of his heart. "She actually believes she has the right to call us unworthy while she probably can't even get one vote against one of us." Ome crushed her popsicle with anger at that.

"All right, you have angered me even beyond that masked bastard, I will crush you both!" she shouted. Her sudden anger scared and surprised the family of this shop and Anna while Alexander and Kouga looked at each other.

"Leave her to me, Kouga. I will finish her off quickly." Alexander said.

"Nah! I was the first to challenge her!" Kouga shook his head.

"Then there is only one solution..." Alexander said to Kouga who became serious suddenly and nodded back at him.

"Hurry up and come at me." Ome took out her knife and a blue bandana that she wrapped her hair with.

""Rock! Paper! Scissors!"" Kouga and Alexander shouted as they throw their hand.

"I win!" Kouga said. And without wasting any time, he took out a nearby knife and followed Ome to the kitchen "Oi, Aria-chan, you and your father and brother will be the judges." He said.

"Tsk!" Alexander was a little annoyed. He turned to exit the shop.

"Wait! what about the Shokugeki? aren't you going to watch?" Anna was surprised at Alexander leaving so she spoke.

"I don't care." Alexander went to the car and turned on the radio to listen to some late news.

[Spongebob] One hour later...

Anna came to the car running with a happy face "Alexander-san! Kouga-san has won! The Noir chef is defeated! come in, we have to interrogate her." she said. Alexander who was just about to fall asleep looked at her and yawned "Okay, I am coming." he said.

Inside, Aria; the daughter of the owner was fascinated by Kouga's cooking and she stuck her body to him asking for him to be her master while cooking had a dirty smile and a rosy cheek 'I will be your master alright!' he thought while imagining the girl in a french maid custom.

The owner and his son were shocked, the level of skills the invader showed wasn't any less than supreme, and they were speechless and couldn't find any word to describe Kouga's cooking, but again, he was an elite 10 of Totsuki.

Alexander came in and looked at Ome who was crying in the corner "*sniff* *sniff* How could this be?*sniff* again! I lost again *sniff*" she mumbled with her eyes red.

"Kouga, did you put a condition for her to tell the truth about why she is doing this?" Alexander asked. It will be hard to get anything from someone who is emotionally damaged now.

"Yeah! I did, this great senpai doesn't forget anything!" Kouga shouted as his hand took Aria in his chest.

"Good." Alexander said and turned to Ome "By the rules of Shokugeki, you are bound to tell us the truth of you being here and why someone like you is using Shokugeki like this."

Ome looked at him and felt a little scared, Alexander forgot that he was integrating just a bossy girl with supremacy mentality, not some black hand in the underworld so he used the same voice and expression when he deals with them on her "Y-y-yes I-I- I will tell you, just don't hit me!!" she screeched.

"Good. Start from the beginning."

No sooner, Ome spilled everything from how she was invited as a chef in the mafia families meeting to cook for them alongside other chefs to their battle with the masked noir chef.

'That meeting I rejected?' Alexander thought.

"I am telling you. That man was crazy, he defeated all 12 Noir Chefs in a battle single-handedly." Ome added, she still can hear his mocking laughter as he left the area.

"And the Shokugeki?" Alexander asked.

"It was from that masked man himself. Before he took us all in a fight, he said: "Do you know the term [Shokugeki]?" He explained to us that if the opponent is a chef then we can demand anything as long as both parties agree to it. And he was the one to send us here to cause chaos in the culinary ground in Japan per his Shokugeki conditions that day." The longer Ome spoke about the masked man, the longer she stopped trembling of fear from Alexander and became hot-headed again ready to punch anyone in the face. Just not Alexander.

"So...someone sent you guys here." Kouga left his Aria-chan and joined Alexander and crouched in front of Ome "Someone is messing with us." he said seriously.

Alexander noded "This may be a distraction of some sort maybe. But...Do you know that man's name?" asked Alexander "Or anything that we could identify him with?"

Ome growled "How could I forget!!" she shouted "His name was SAIBA!! that cursed name I will never forget!!" she shouted.

Kouga and Alexander froze in their place. Slowly Kouga looked at Alexander "Isn't that your...family name?" he said.

Alexander was contemplating as a hint of realization appeared on his face "Oh you f.u.c.k.i.n.g bastard!" he mumbled
