If Gin Dojima remembered correctly, the highest record for the training camp was to complete fifty dishes in forty minutes, but Satou finished them in about twenty minutes. That meant he cut the time by half!
What terrifying stamina and overall control over cooking!
"Another prodigy?"
He lowered his head, muttering softly.
"Speaking of which, a year ago, there was also a student who quickly completed fifty dishes. His name was Isshiki Satoshi."
Gin Dojima smiled slightly and said, "But you're much faster than him."
"I say, why don't we arm wrestle?"
He suggested.
"Arm wrestle?"
Satou was slightly taken aback.
"That's right. It's also a way to exercise. I like to exercise while taking a bath. How about it?"
Gin Dojima said with a smile, secretly wanting to gauge how strong Satou's physical fitness truly was.
Satou: "...Let's not."
Arm wrestling with a muscular man in a bathtub? He wasn't into that. If it were with a Tsundere in a bathtub, he'd be very interested.
"Alright."
Seeing Satou disagree, Gin Dojima could only sigh helplessly.
"Oh, by the way, I heard from Head Chef Senzaemon that you're already dating Miss Erina?"
Gin Dojima remembered something and asked.
"Hmm, I guess so."
Satou nodded.
"How interesting."
Gin Dojima couldn't help but laugh. With the talent of the God Tongue, everyone believed that Erina Nakiri would grow into the most terrifying monster in the academy. He never expected that such a monster could actually be tamed by someone.
Just then, Yukihira Soma also walked in.
"Oh, hey! Satou, you're ahead of me again."
Yukihira Soma walked in casually, greeting him. But when he saw the beast-like, muscular Gin Dojima, the expression on his face immediately froze.
"Oh, there are really a lot of talents in this batch. How about it, want to exercise together?"
Gin Dojima struck a bodybuilder's pose, staring at Yukihira Soma.
Yukihira Soma was already scared silly.
Satou didn't want to see three big men exercising in the bathtub, so he stood up and said, "Well, I'll be going now."
As soon as he walked out of the bathroom, he bumped into a soft, fragrant body.
Erina Nakiri grunted and fell to the floor.
As soon as she saw Satou, she immediately covered her chest, both shy and annoyed, saying, "Are you always so careless when you walk?"
"Sorry, I didn't see you."
Satou scratched his head awkwardly, then extended a hand to her.
Erina Nakiri hesitated for a moment, but still reached out her hand and let Satou pull her up.
Just then, she suddenly noticed Satou constantly looking her up and down, and her cheeks flushed. She crossed her arms over her chest and said, "What are you staring at?"
"Why are you so shy? Haven't I seen you after your bath every day?"
Satou was speechless.
"You... what nonsense are you spouting!"
Erina Nakiri's face instantly turned crimson, and she looked like she was about to grind her teeth to dust.
"By the way, have you finished the fifty servings of dishes?"
Satou asked.
"Of course! That's just a routine activity for me. I finished it in just over thirty minutes."
Erina Nakiri immediately became a Tsundere again, saying proudly, "What about you?"
"I didn't pay attention to the time, but it should be around twenty minutes."
Satou thought for a moment and said.
He really hadn't checked the time.
The pride on Erina Nakiri's face immediately vanished. She snorted lightly, saying indignantly, "Being fast doesn't mean anything."
Just then, Hisako Arato arrived. Satou waved and said, "Then I'll be going now."
"Damn it! He's ten minutes ahead of me!"
As soon as he left, Erina Nakiri gritted her teeth and muttered to herself.
After her bath, Erina Nakiri was in a very good mood, because this time she finally didn't have to share a bathroom with Satou. This was truly wonderful.
She couldn't stand seeing a boy in a bathrobe walking around her bedroom every day after she finished bathing.
"Oh, by the way, Hisako, did you bring the playing cards?"
She asked again.
"Yes, I've already gotten them from the front desk."
Hisako Arato nodded.
A satisfied smile appeared on Erina Nakiri's face. For her, this was simply a perfect day.
Subsequently, Erina Nakiri went to her room.
But when she saw the scene inside the room...
"Huh, that's strange, why is it a double room?"
Erina Nakiri asked, a little confused, "Could it be that you, Hisako, are staying with me?"
"Ah? No, I'm not staying with Miss Erina."
Hisako Arato was stunned and said.
"Eh? No way? Are there no single rooms left? I remember there should be enough. Then who is my roommate?"
Erina Nakiri looked surprised.
"Damn it, how did the detached palace arrange this! How dare they treat Miss Erina so disrespectfully! Even if there aren't enough single rooms, Miss Erina shouldn't have to share a room with someone else!"
Hisako Arato said indignantly.
"Never mind, Hisako. Maybe they assigned the double room to me alone."
Erina Nakiri said with some helplessness. But just then, a surprised voice sounded from outside the room.
"Huh? Erina, Hisako, why are you in my room?"
Satou walked in and said.
"Your... your room?"
When Erina Nakiri saw Satou, she immediately felt unwell.
"Yes, this is indeed my room."
Satou nodded.
After checking the room number.
"Who arranged this anyway!"
Erina Nakiri felt like crying.
Just then, her phone rang. Hisako Arato quickly picked it up and said, "It's Head Chef Senzaemon."
Erina Nakiri took the phone and heard Senzaemon Nakiri's voice from the other end.
"Erina, have you settled into your room?"
"Yes, but why is Satou in my room?"
Erina Nakiri said through gritted teeth.
"Haha, I'm not an unreasonable person. I was afraid you two would be unaccustomed to being separated, so I specifically arranged for you two to stay together."
Senzaemon Nakiri laughed heartily, "Although I'm old, I can still understand the lifestyle of young people. In short, be careful and don't kill anyone."
Erina Nakiri: "Q-Q"
