While the festival buzzed with energy, the heart of Yukihime High School's culinary scene beat within the kitchen of the Delicious Food Fan Club's temporary restaurant that the club had set up in the campus center. This establishment, a hub for gourmet delights, was both a source of pride and frustration for its members. Today, however, it was a hive of activity, with every inch of the kitchen space humming with purpose and excitement.
Morning: The Dawn of the Festival
The sun was just beginning to rise as the club members arrived at their kitchen, an old but well-loved facility that had been the venue for countless culinary triumphs and challenges. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling breakfast items wafted through the air, mingling with the faint scent of old wood and metal that clung to the kitchen. Olly Fletcher, the club president, stood at the center of it all, directing his team with a blend of authority and enthusiasm.
