Jo Minjoon slowly looked at the three of them. First, it didn’t seem to be Ivanna because her dishes were all 7 points. However, in the case of Hugo and Sasha, they made two 7 points dishes and one 6 points. Bust guessing who will be eliminated based on the score was hard.
“Sasha, Ivanna, Hugo. Come to the front.”
The three of them walked with nervous faces. They had also guessed that they weren’t the higher ranked ones, but the lower ranked. Joseph looked at them with a little exhausted face.
“I believe that you know the reason as to why we have called you.”
“…….Are we all going to be eliminated?”
“We won’t do that. Only one person. Actually, there wasn’t that much of a difference in cooking. They were all fairly good. But this place is one that you can’t survive with it just being fairly good. There are tens of participants, and if some of them made a horrible dish it wouldn’t matter. However, now isn’t it. Better than the others. It’s not enough with that much skill. Because there’s no one that’s sloppy among the ones that survived until now.”
At Joseph’s words, the three couldn’t reply anything. Because they knew better than them that their dishes weren’t that outstanding. Joseph opened his mouth, but closed it as if it was hard to say it. But Emily seemed to want to help her, and instead, raised her voice.
“That’s why we evaluated you. Not only for thee dishes, but we will save the one who we are expecting their food from now on. Sasha!”
Emily paused for a moment. And then, asked with a low voice.
“Why do you think I called your name?”
“……Ah, please. My heart seems to shrink.”
“I’m sorry. With the meaning of apologizing, I will tell you something good. You have survived. From what we have seen of you until now, we reached a conclusion that we want to give you more opportunities. Go back to your countertop.”
“Thank you……….”
Sasha replied with a shaking voice, and after wiping off the tears that were in her eyes, she returned to her place. The remaining ones were two. Ivanna gulped and clenched her fists. She remembered Joanne.
‘I said that I was going to win instead of Joanne.’
But reality was like this. At that moment, she didn’t know where her ambition had gone, and if it was even in her. Everytime time she made eye contact with the judges, her heart beat, and she even started to have hiccups. Alan looked at Ivanna for a moment and opened his mouth.
“Honestly speaking, the one that’s better up among the three is you, Ivanna.”
“Thank you.”
“……..But, that’s all. Fairly good. Until now, you have never showed us something that breaks that concept. It meant that you have never showed us something that’s only yours, something that will stay in our memories. In the other side, Hugo had his ossobuco, and he had also showed a leadership that could lead others well. Ivanna, will we be able to pour our expectations on you?”
Ivanna bit her lips. Her face that was more pale than usual, was shaking. However, she didn’t have anything to reply back. Just like Alan had said, she had never showed something good of her. She had merely survived until now. And it was lacking with just that. But.
“……..Yes. Be expecting.”
“Looking what?”
“I,I……. Only know how to cook well. And just like chef has said, I’m just fairly good. But, it isn’t that I gave up on growing. I want to show you that I can get better. Give me a chance.”
Alan didn’t reply anything. Instead, he looked at Hugo. And asked with a low voice.
“Hugo, what do you think? Do you think that we should give that opportunity to Ivanna?”
At that moment, Hugo only smacked his lips. He didn’t know what he should reply. If he gave her that chance, he had to get eliminated. But also telling him not to give it to her felt bad. He asked.
“……..Is my opinion important?”
“I wonder. I don’t know. I’m just curious about what you think.”
“I’m thankful that you are thinking good of me. But I’m still lacking. Perhaps, if Ivanna’s dish was better than mine, I think that it would be right to evaluate it just with her dish instead of the future and expectations.”
“Then, you will be the one to get eliminated?”
“……..To get greedy beyond my abilities, that would only be mean.”
At his words, Alan’s corner of his mouth raised. He looked at Hugo with warm eyes and asked.
“One thing is certain. That there’s Italian blood flowing in you just like me. It was a wonderful speech. And just as that speech, I hope that you would be able accept my next words.”
Silence flowed from a moment, and what ended that was a blunt declaration.
“Hugo, you have been eliminated. Return your badge and leave the Grand Chef’s house.”
