"What's wrong, everyone? I, Satou, finally came to Polar Star Dormitory for a gathering, are you all not welcoming me?"
Mimasaka Subaru showed a sincere smile on his face, imitating Satou's tone.
Everyone in Polar Star Dormitory bowed their heads, feeling dejected and remaining silent.
"Megumi, quickly taste the Hand-pulled Cabbage I made!"
Mimasaka Subaru gave Tadokoro Megumi a "sincere" smile.
Tadokoro Megumi gave a forced smile, too exhausted to complain.
...
Satou didn't know that Mimasaka Subaru had already disguised himself as him and gone to Polar Star Dormitory for a gathering. After practicing Twice Cooked Pork, he went back to his room and fell asleep hugging the two dragons.
The next day, after Satou and Erina Nakiri finished washing up, Satou looked at her, smiling silently.
Erina Nakiri's face flushed, and she said irritably, "I know!"
Then she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
Before, the Tsundere would always blush, quickly touch him, and then cover her face and run away, but this time, the kiss was noticeably longer.
However, besides the night before last, Erina Nakiri didn't let him into her bedroom yesterday, which filled him with regret.
After the kiss, Erina Nakiri said with a red face, "Are you satisfied now?"
Satou smiled and nodded, then went to school with the Tsundere.
However, when he arrived in front of the teaching building with Erina Nakiri on his bicycle, he saw Mimasaka Subaru again.
"Hello everyone, my name is Satou, let's keep working hard today, striving to get an A in every class!"
Mimasaka Subaru, dressed in the same clothes as Satou, said energetically, "Right, Megumi?"
Tadokoro Megumi, Yuki Yoshino, and others who were following him all looked pale and listless, forming a stark contrast with him.
"What's going on?"
"Does that even need to be said? Of course, the transfer student has been targeted by the tracer!"
"As expected, he's the legendary pervert. This transfer student is probably in big trouble, right?"
"Hmm, after all, he's such a pervert. In terms of overall ability, perhaps the transfer student is stronger, but in a Shokugeki, there really aren't many who can beat that guy!"
Students passing by whispered to each other.
"This guy, isn't he too perverted?"
Even Erina Nakiri and Hisako Arato were shocked.
Although they had long heard rumors about the tracer, who deliberately imitates the opponent's movements and expressions to grasp all their information, this was just too perverted!
"I say, Megumi, was this guy at Polar Star Dormitory all day yesterday?"
Satou couldn't help but ask.
"Not exactly, but he stayed at Polar Star Dormitory very late yesterday, and we saw him first thing this morning."
Tadokoro Megumi said with dark circles under her eyes, clearly having not slept well.
Satou couldn't help but feel some sympathy, probably because Mimasaka Subaru couldn't infiltrate the Nakiri domain.
"Then we'll go first."
Erina Nakiri walked over to Satou and quietly reminded him, "I've long heard the name of the tracer. Although he's a pervert, an opponent like him is really difficult to deal with. Among the first-years, there are probably few who can defeat him in a Shokugeki. You need to be careful."
Her tone carried a faint hint of concern.
Satou couldn't help but look at the Tsundere in surprise. It seemed that after they talked about officially dating last time, there were still some subtle changes.
In the past, the Tsundere would never have spoken to him with such a caring tone.
"Hmm, I know. I've already told him the name of the dish for the Shokugeki."
Satou nodded.
"What? You actually told him the dish for the Shokugeki?"
Erina Nakiri was immediately shocked, and so were Tadokoro Megumi and Yukihira Soma beside her.
"Satou, you're too careless!"
Erina Nakiri said anxiously.
She knew that the tracer's greatest strength was his ability to perfectly replicate an opponent's dish and then improve upon it. Theoretically, once he knew the dish for the Shokugeki, he was almost invincible.
Of course, that was only theoretically.
"Don't worry, he'll absolutely never win against me, even if he knows the dish."
Satou smiled faintly, his tone exuding strong confidence.
"Heh heh, there's no dish I, Mimasaka Subaru, can't replicate. Just you wait."
Mimasaka Subaru sneered coldly at this moment.
For the next few days, Mimasaka Subaru continued to impersonate Satou, walking around the academy. Sometimes he followed Satou to classes, sometimes he made dishes in Satou's research activity room, and at night he would go to Polar Star Dormitory.
One time, Senior Kobayashi Rindo went to Satou's research club as usual (actually to raid it) and saw Mimasaka Subaru. Senior Kobayashi thought Satou had accidentally eaten radioactive ingredients and mutated, almost scaring her to death.
Tadokoro Megumi and the others also suffered undeserved misfortune, having dark circles under their eyes every day, clearly tormented by Mimasaka Subaru.
Even if they locked the door very tightly every time, that guy always managed to pry it open.
The night before the Shokugeki, Satou went to an deserted street, preparing to release the Red-haired Pig.
"The Red-haired Pig is one of the most aggressive B-grade ingredients. Host, are you sure you want to release it?"
The system reminded him.
"It's fine, just release it."
Satou said.
He still had Thor with him.
A moment later, a terrifying monster, two meters tall, covered in red fur, and with sharp tusks, appeared before Satou.
Upon seeing Satou, a cold glint flashed in its furious eyes, and then it charged directly forward.
Ten seconds later.
Satou brought the now deceased Red-haired Pig to Erina Nakiri's kitchen.
Such a large one, it was all treasure!
A moment later, Erina Nakiri, who walked into the kitchen, was also startled by the enormous creature.
"Satou, what is this? A wild boar? I've never seen one this big!"
Erina Nakiri said in surprise.
"Can you help process it? I'll give you some of the ingredients later."
Satou said.
"That's not necessary."
Erina Nakiri shook her head. Even without compensation, she would help, and it was her first time seeing such a wild boar.
Don't let the fact that she makes elegant and noble dishes in a clean kitchen every day fool you; Erina Nakiri was not unfamiliar with processing ingredients.
A moment later, the pig was butchered by the two of them.
The pork was a given, but the pig bones were also excellent for making broth, and there were also the pig liver, heart, intestines, blood, and so on, all good ingredients.
