"Haha, I didn't expect you, Satou, to be a step ahead of me again. It seems I need to work harder."
Yukihira Soma laughed, walked over, and then said to Akikubo Momo, "I hope you remember my name too. My name is Yukihira Soma..."
However, Akikubo Momo completely ignored him, turned her head, and walked away, leaving Yukihira Soma awkwardly standing there.
Satou shrugged, then looked at the remaining butterfly pastries and said, "Let's all eat the remaining desserts together."
"That's great!"
Yoshino Yuuki was the first to raise her hand. In fact, she had wanted to eat them since they were fresh out of the oven, and this time she finally got the chance.
"Then I won't be polite either."
Ryoko Sakaki smiled slightly and said.
Then, the four of them, plus Yukihira Soma who came to freeload, tasted the butterfly pastries together.
"Mmm, this crispy texture is beyond words! I didn't realize, Satou, you're so good at making desserts too!"
Yukihira Soma exclaimed.
"It's really great!"
Ryoko Sakaki also looked admiring.
"I say, Megumi, why don't we switch teammates? I really envy you being able to eat delicious dishes in every class."
Yoshino Yuuki said, her mouth full and her words unclear.
"I don't want to!"
Tadokoro Megumi couldn't help but smile slightly.
Every time in cooking practical class, Satou and she would habitually make a little extra. After the Instructor tasted them, to avoid waste, they would eat the remaining dishes.
...
"Hey, have you heard? A first-year student actually defeated Akikubo-senpai in dessert class."
"What? Are you kidding me? Even Tsukasa-senpai wouldn't dare to say he could defeat Akikubo-senpai in desserts, right?"
"It's true, it's that transfer student who defeated Eizan-senpai. Of course, Akikubo-senpai didn't use her full strength."
"That's still impressive!"
As soon as Satou walked out of the classroom, he heard many students from nearby classes discussing this matter. In a short while, the news of him defeating Akikubo Momo in dessert class had spread throughout the first year.
Then, Satou saw Erina Nakiri walking out of another teaching building.
"Erina, want to go on a date and have dinner together?"
Satou greeted her and called out.
"Eh? A... a date and dinner together?"
Erina Nakiri's face couldn't help but blush. Just as she was hesitating, Hisako Arato smiled slightly and said, "Then, Miss Erina, I'll go eat first. You go on a date with Satou."
"Eh? Hisako..."
Erina Nakiri was about to say something, but Hisako Arato didn't give her a chance and just walked away.
"Since you're my girlfriend, isn't it normal for us to eat together usually?"
Satou said.
"Who's your girlfriend! I only agreed temporarily out of necessity."
Erina Nakiri's cheeks flushed, and she quickly explained, "But Kuga-senpai has already invited me to lunch today. Why don't you come along too?"
After meetings, the Elite Ten members often made plans to eat together.
"That works too."
Satou nodded.
Next, the two came to the Rare Ingredients Research Society. Satou usually kept some Chansey and milk in the research society.
Unexpectedly, Sadatsuka Nao was also in the research society. Sadatsuka Nao had been coming here often these past few days.
At this time, Sadatsuka Nao was wearing a Far Moon uniform, her black hair neatly combed behind her head, revealing a fair and delicate face, looking like a rather sunny and refined girl.
She was already very good-looking, and after a change of attire, she immediately became a rare beauty.
Sadatsuka Nao greeted the two when she saw them.
"Eh? You're Sadatsuka Nao?"
Erina Nakiri's eyes instantly widened. In her impression, wasn't she gloomy? How did she become so sunny?
"Yes."
Sadatsuka Nao nodded, then secretly glanced at Satou, her cheeks slightly reddening.
Erina Nakiri looked at the two suspiciously, always feeling that there was something fishy between them!
Next, Satou took a Chansey and, together with the Tsundere, went to Kuga Terunori's Chinese Cuisine Research Society.
The Chinese Cuisine Research Society was very large, a building in the style of a Chinese imperial palace. After all, among all research societies, the Chinese Cuisine Research Society was very powerful, so the monthly activity funds it received were considerable.
"Hello, Miss Erina!"
As soon as they walked in, a row of bald heads uniformly bowed and greeted Erina Nakiri.
Erina Nakiri's face flushed slightly, and she said a little awkwardly, "Although it's not good to say this about Kuga-senpai, his taste is indeed a bit... that."
"I can see that."
Satou nodded.
"Oh? Erina, you're here? And that other person."
At this moment, Kuga Terunori walked out. As soon as he saw the two, he greeted them enthusiastically.
Behind him were Kobayashi Rindo, Akikubo Momo, and Nagi-no-ki Touko.
"Hi! Erina, did you come to eat with your boyfriend?"
As soon as Kobayashi Rindo saw Erina Nakiri, she greeted her enthusiastically.
"Boy... boyfriend?"
Erina Nakiri was instantly flustered.
Kuga Terunori, Akikubo Momo, and the others also looked at Satou with surprise.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have a boyfriend!"
Erina Nakiri cried out, both shy and annoyed.
"Eh? But that first-year girl from Polar Star Dormitory last night, I think her name was Yoshino Yuuki, didn't she say you two were already dating?"
Kobayashi Rindo asked in surprise.
At this moment, not to mention Erina Nakiri, even Satou had the urge to strangle Yoshino Yuuki. Her mouth was simply too big!
...
"Achoo!"
Yoshino Yuuki, who was eating, sneezed.
"What's wrong? Are you sick?"
Tadokoro Megumi asked with concern.
"Or is someone thinking about you behind your back?"
Ryoko Sakaki said.
"How could that be? I'm cheerful and enthusiastic; there's no way I'd offend anyone," Yuki Yoshino said confidently after a moment of thought.
"Anyway, let's eat first." Erina Nakiri took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing her ill will towards Yuki Yoshino.
"Alright, speaking of which, there are some culinary matters I'd like to ask the God Tongue about," Nagi-no-ki Touko, the Third Seat, said.
"Me too." Kuga Terunori nodded.
At this moment, Satou received a new task.
