"Huh? Miss Erina, were you two having a cooking battle last night?"
Hisako Arato asked, slightly surprised.
Recalling yesterday's experience, Erina Nakiri couldn't help but blush, yet there was a faint hint of sweetness in her heart as she said, "Mm, something like that."
"Amazing! As expected of Miss Erina!"
Hisako Arato felt immense respect after hearing that.
Miss Erina and Satou are already so amazing, yet they still practice cooking every night. How incredibly diligent!
No, I must also work hard so I can be worthy of Miss Erina!
Hisako Arato admonished herself.
Erina Nakiri's face flushed with shyness upon hearing her praise; if she knew the truth...
Upon entering the classroom, they saw Tadokoro Megumi, Yuki Yoshino, and others, their faces pale and looking utterly lifeless.
"Huh? What's wrong with everyone?"
Satou couldn't help but say, "Why does everyone look like they haven't slept well?"
"Mimasaka Subaru didn't go back to Polar Star Dormitory until very late yesterday."
Tadokoro Megumi said with a bloodless face, as if she had been tormented all night.
"Satou, you went too far!"
Yuki Yoshino also said indignantly.
Satou: "..."
He then remembered that he had sent Mimasaka Subaru to the party yesterday.
Soon, the day ended. On this day, Satou, still with Tadokoro Megumi, received an A or higher rating in all classes.
He had just returned to the Tsundere's mansion.
"Host has accumulated seven daily mission gift packages. Do you want to open them?"
The system prompted.
"Have seven already accumulated?"
Satou said, only regretting that there were no daily mission gift packages during the six days of the lodging training, "Then open them."
"Host opens daily mission gift package, cooking level +1."
"Host opens daily mission gift package, cooking level +2."
"Host opens daily mission gift package, cooking level +1."
"Host opens daily mission gift package, obtains two Almond Cabbage."
"Host opens daily mission gift package, cooking level +2."
"Host opens daily mission gift package, obtains one random dried monster."
"Host opens daily mission gift package, cooking level +1."
This time, he obtained two types of ingredients, and one of them was a dried monster he hadn't received before, so Satou was quite satisfied.
As a result, his original cooking level was forty-five. He was rewarded two points for the first time he made Twice Cooked Pork with a score above eighty, and this time he got seven points, so his current cooking level is fifty-four.
At this moment, Erina Nakiri also returned to the mansion.
"Erina, are we still competing tonight?"
He smiled and asked.
"Hmph! Of course! Don't think you can be arrogant just because you won yesterday! Tonight, I will unleash my true strength!"
Erina Nakiri snorted lightly, unwillingly.
Satou smiled slightly. Now that his cooking level had increased, the Tsundere was even less of a match for him.
"By the way, do you want to help out at my shop tonight?"
Satou asked.
"Let's skip tonight, because a lot of tasting work accumulated during the lodging training."
Erina Nakiri said, then remembering something, her face flushed slightly, "In short, I definitely won't lose to you tonight."
Satou couldn't help but feel speechless. This Tsundere's competitive spirit was too strong, wasn't it?
Then, Satou went to work at the shop with Tohru.
As for the dried monster that had just been obtained, Satou didn't know what kind of monster it would turn into when cooked, so he temporarily put it aside.
"Satou, I want to go too."
Kanna hugged Satou's leg and said in a childish voice.
Satou said, "That's fine too."
Anyway, this loli dragon just eats and sleeps all day, so a little exercise would be good.
Soon, one person and two dragons arrived at the snack shop.
In front of the snack shop, as usual, many people were already queuing.
Seeing Satou arrive, they couldn't help but start urging him.
"Everyone, please line up, don't rush."
Satou said while opening the shop door.
Everyone who had been waiting for a long time eagerly rushed into the shop to grab seats first. Those who didn't get seats had no choice but to wait outside.
"Tohru is here too."
"Tohru seems to have become even more beautiful."
"Is this little girl your sister?"
Many customers greeted Tohru.
Due to her beautiful appearance and unique attire, Tohru was very popular with customers.
"Shop owner, are there any new dishes today?"
Hanayama-in Natsuki smiled slightly and asked.
She was now a loyal customer of this shop and rarely missed a day.
"Oh, there are indeed two new dishes today. They are Pig Blood Tofu and Pork Skewers."
Satou said with a smile, he and Erina Nakiri definitely couldn't finish the Red-haired Pig by themselves, so Satou immediately thought of selling it.
"Really? Please let me try them."
Hanayama-in Natsuki's eyes lit up and she said.
Other customers also became interested when they heard that the small shop had new dishes.
Based on past experience, anything produced by this small shop was a masterpiece, something that couldn't be found in other stores.
"Alright, please wait a moment."
Satou turned to prepare the dishes.
On the other side, Emi Yusa, who had just gotten off work, also arrived in front of the small shop.
"This is the Demon Lord's den. To prevent him from planning any world-destroying conspiracies, I must monitor him."
Emi Yusa muttered to herself, then lurked by the shop entrance.
At this moment, Satou had already placed a bowl of Pig Blood Tofu and a plate of Pork Skewers in front of Hanayama-in Natsuki.
So fragrant!
Hanayama-in Natsuki's face showed surprise.
"This is complimentary bone broth."
Satou handed her a bowl of fragrant bone broth, "As long as you buy two or more dishes, you can get a free bowl of bone broth."
Anyway, just one bone could brew a large pot of fresh soup, and there were plenty of bones from the Red-haired Pig.
"Thank you."
Hanayama-in Natsuki thanked him, then began to taste the new dishes.
At the shop entrance, Emi Yusa smelled the tempting aroma, and her stomach rumbled. She then remembered that she had rushed over and hadn't had dinner yet.
"Damn it, this must be the Demon Lord's trick! I must not fall for it!"
She swallowed hard while cheering herself on.
