Im guessing she will make a chilling face with eyes looking down on him and say something in the lines of "I have overestimated your abilities". Then she makes a troll face after losing to him

Conversartion Alice-Soma:

アリス「お弁当といえど華やかさと驚きに満ちた品でなきゃ　私の手鞠弁当みたいにねっ」
ソーマ「確かにお前のすげぇ旨そうだったよなー　今度食わせてくれよ」
アリス「うふふっ　勿論いいわよ♪」
ソーマ「……だけどお前の品って　ちゃんと弁当としてすごいわけ？」
アリス「──────何ですって…？」

ゆきひらの客「創真ちゃん…キヨさんによく懐いてるねぇ」
城一郎「あぁ…昔からしょっちゅう遊んでもらってましたから」
城一郎「──創真は実の祖母ってのを知らねぇから…」
城一郎「本当のばあちゃんみたいに慕ってるんだろうな」

創真「あれ？今日もばーちゃん来てねーの？」
ゆきひらの客「あぁ…最近どうも腰が痛むらしくて」
ゆきひらの客「ゆきひらまで歩いてくるのもキツいみたいなんだ」

（ピンポーン）
キヨ「ハイハイ…いたた」
キヨ「！？創真ちゃん？」
創真「晩飯まだだろ？はいコレ！」

（ソーマの回想、小学４年生、近所のおばあちゃんにお弁当を届けるソーマ）

そして現実に戻って、審査員がノリをめくった所で終了

Jury and Senzaemon reactions after they taste (or see) his bento (not sure?):

審査員「いわゆるB級グルメとは思えぬ…なんと上品な味なのだ！！」
アリス「………？」
審査員「一体これはどうした事だ！？」
仙左衛門「その答えは…恐らく“出汁”にある」
仙左衛門「これは『マグロ節』による出汁だ！」
観客「！？ま……マグロ節ぃ！？カツオ節じゃなくて！？」
ソーマ「その通り…鱈を煮た出汁は『マグロ節』と『利尻昆布』から引いたものっす」

審査員「さて……ご飯はどうですかな」
審査員「海苔弁当の主役は何と言ってもご飯とその上の海苔ですからな！」
審査員「醤油や味醂で味をつけるか　シンプルに焼き海苔でいくか…」
審査員「料理人の個性が出るところ！果たして──」
審査員「─むぅう！？」
審査員「な…っ！！これが…っ　海苔弁当だというのか！？」
（光る弁当箱）
ソーマ「お前も味わってけよ　美味しさと　その先にあるものを─！！」

Spoiler for translation Chapter 65:

弁当進化論 (Bento evolution)

Conversartion Alice-Soma:

Alice「If you said a bento, it must be a dish that contain the element of suprise and also glamorous too just like my temari sushi」
Soma「Certainy that what you have over there looks very delicious -　please let me eat it too later」
Alice「ufufufu　of course it's okay♪」
Soma「……but your dish, is it capable to be said as a really good bento?」
Alice「────── what did you just say…？」

Alice「……yukihira-kun　what's that? did you said nori bento」
Soma「eh？what? you didn't know about it? should i make your share later for you?」
Soma「but… this is not a normal nori bento」
Alice「？」
Soma「Yukihira style evolution series of nori bento, please help yourself to the food inside！」

Flashbacks with Jouichirou, grandmother and soma

Yukihira's quest「souma-chan…he realy like to be pampered by kiyo-san」
jyoichiro「aa...because i asked her to play with him for a long time」
jyoichiro「──because soma never know well his real mother…」
jyoichiro「he must be yearning for what it's like to be with his mother」

Soma「Eh？aunty didn't come again？」
quest「yes...recently her waist become more and more painful」
quest「it was really hard for her to come to yukihira now with her condition」

（ping-pong）
Kiyo「yes yes...ouch」
Kiyo「！？soma-chan？」
soma「you didn't have any dinner yet right？ here！」

（Soma's flashback, elementary school 4th years, soma who deliver his food to the aunty who live near his place）
aunty turned over the nori and there was a face character of Soma & aunty in there
aunty cried

and then back to the reality, the flash back ends when the jugde turned over their nori.

judge「what i think to be a B-class gourmet…what a refined taste!!」
Alice「………？」
Judge「what on earth is this !?」
senzaemon「the answer…probably lies in the "dashi"」
senzaemon「this is a dashi made from『maguro bushi』！」
audience「！？maguro bushiii！？not from bonito！？」
soma「that's right…this dashi was obtained by extracting the『maguro bushi』and『rishiri kelp』」



judge「now……what about the rice」
judge「No matter what you say, the main protagonist of nori bento would be the rice and the nori on top of it！」
judge「to add a mirin and soy sauce, shall we start from the simple roasted seaweed first…」
judge「the personality of the cook will also appear from this！what shall it be──」
judge「─muuu！？」
judge「wha…っ！！this is…　is this really a nori bento！？」
（the shiny bento box）
soma「come on, you also need to try this too　the deliciousness and what lies ahead of it─！！」

[araragi92]

Thank you for the translation
I thought it was Soma's grandmother but it was his aunt.

Maguro dashi, interesting. I already made ​​a Kombu and Katsuo dashi and I can't say I'm a big fan

[Homura7]

You'll excuse me, but right now my eyes are NOT focused on the chapter. I hope you'll understand.

keikaku doori (TL:just as planned)

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

[GreyZone]

Souma really likes to make that face.

[Sakuratsuki]

Thanks for the translation. Soma is going to win this one for sure. Now I want to see the reaction of Alice when he wins.

Our better when she tastes his food.

[DevilHighDxD]

Soma look so much better with that bandanna on(should keep it on all the time Soma!), honesty I love Tosh's art style as he can make Soma one moment look all goofy and funny then all bishounen and serious next.

[HayashiTakara]

This chapter gave me the feels, and Soma is right; Alice's bento misses one important ingredient; the feels! Nothing beats receiving a bento full of love regardless of taste, and it being super tasty just makes it better. I think at this point, it's safe to say Alice got her butt pounded

I don't think "Bishounen" is the correct word to use for Soma, since he doesn't look pretty when in serious mode.

[Randrak42]

Bitch ain't smiling no more huh?

[ellifeedn]

The reaction the judges had to Soma's dish was... weird. Seriously, what the hell?

[Kanon]

I just realized there isn't a single women among the judges this time. Alice will have to be the one providing the fanservice next chapter. Looking forward to it.

Maybe... maybe this would be like that time with the Hex Maniac lookalike? Alice tasted Soma's food then become Yandere for him?

Alice hasn't displayed any yandere qualities. If anything she'll be seductress, trying everything she can to get what she wants, since she's the type that is too use to getting it her way.

Even better. Would be funny to see her using this chance to rile up Erina.
