None of the four judges responded.
Tiqie Xianzuowen silently pulled up his kimono, folded his arms, and stood still with his eyes closed, deep in thought.

Chiyoda and Yuchuan Abbot were pacing around the peacock ice sculpture.
The scene suddenly became tense.

Seeing this, Yuchuan Ayaka's heart tightened, and she took several deep breaths to stabilize her emotions, but her fists were already clenched at her sides.
Chiyoda Aichi beside her showed an expression of disbelief.
The judges were being so cautious, and not unanimously voting for the 'finishing move' dish, which clearly indicated the young chef's outstanding performance.
