"Eh? It's Kitajo's group. It seems like there's some problem."
Tadokoro Megumi exclaimed in surprise.
Satou frowned slightly. If he remembered correctly, Miyoko Hojo's strength was very strong. Even if she didn't get the guests' approval, she wouldn't receive such a terrible review, would she?
"My steamed dumplings are absolutely not as bad as you say!"
Miyoko Hojo's cheeks were a little pale, and she bit her lip tightly, saying in a deep voice, "Please taste it again."
"Such unpalatable food, do you really want me to taste it again?"
The guest sneered and said loudly, "You made it so unpalatable, yet you still dare to talk back? Are all Far Moon interns at this level?"
"That's right, I thought Far Moon was so amazing, but I didn't expect their interns to be at this level! It seems Far Moon isn't that great after all."
Another guest also shouted loudly.
At once, this attracted the attention of everyone in the hall. The Far Moon interns and the dining guests all turned their heads in surprise to look.
"It's Miyoko's group."
"Hehe, that woman is usually so arrogant, I didn't expect her to have such a moment."
"Yeah, it would be great if she got eliminated. That would get rid of a big rival."
Many students gloated, hoping Miyoko Hojo would be eliminated then and there.
"What's going on? Did the Far Moon interns make bad food?"
"They are still students after all, so a lack of experience is inevitable."
The guests in the hall also discussed in low voices.
In this situation, being watched by so many eyes and hearing those discussions, Miyoko Hojo's group members were already trembling with fear, unable to say anything.
Although Miyoko Hojo also bore immense pressure, she still gritted her teeth and held on.
Mizuhara Fuyumi squatted on a chair in the corner, watching all of this expressionlessly.
The restaurant staff hesitated for a moment and asked, "Senior Mizuhara, do we need to stop them? Those two guests probably have ill intentions."
"No need."
Mizuhara Fuyumi said lightly, "Although this is indeed beyond the plan, it can also happen in reality. If you want to be a chef, you must have the ability to face such situations. If you can't handle it, then you can only blame their bad luck."
"Alright."
The staff member nodded, but felt sympathy for Miyoko Hojo and her group.
"Hey, you guys made us eat such unpalatable food, shouldn't you compensate us?"
"Exactly, the compensation we want isn't much, just 100,000 yen will be enough."
At this moment, the two guests began to shout loudly, demanding compensation from the restaurant.
The other students had already realized that these two people were probably deliberately causing trouble, what is known as 'extortion'. Although such people are rare, they do exist.
But they had no intention of helping, instead looking at the grim-faced Miyoko Hojo with indifference.
"Miyoko looks so pitiful."
Tadokoro Megumi sighed, saying sympathetically.
Satou nodded, then walked over and asked Miyoko Hojo, "What happened?"
Miyoko Hojo saw Satou approach, her eyes filled with gratitude, and she said indignantly, "These two guys said my steamed dumplings were unpalatable, but that's impossible!"
Satou glanced at the remaining steamed dumplings on the table, took one and put it in his mouth, tasting it while saying, "Hmm, the taste is indeed quite good."
Although under his God Tongue, this steamed dumpling still had many flaws, overall it was still very delicious and couldn't possibly be called unpalatable.
"What do you know, kid? This girl is your classmate, right? Of course you'd help her."
The guest shouted in dissatisfaction, "In short, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer, we will absolutely not let this go."
Satou glanced at Mizuhara Fuyumi's side and found that the staff members were all stopped by her. She probably wanted the students to handle it themselves.
He asked indifferently, "So, what kind of answer do you want?"
"It's simple, either you give me a satisfactory portion of steamed dumplings, or you compensate us for our losses."
The two guests sneered.
Anyone with eyes could tell they wanted compensation, because even if they were given another portion, they would still say it wasn't good.
To everyone's surprise, Satou nodded and said, "No problem."
At this, everyone else was surprised.
"Satou, although I'm very grateful for your help, this doesn't concern you."
Miyoko Hojo bit her lip and said.
If things went wrong, Satou himself might be implicated and expelled.
"You don't need to thank me, I also can't stand people like this."
Satou said lightly.
"That's right, Miyoko."
Tadokoro Megumi also nodded, saying very seriously.
Clearly, she also strongly agreed with Satou's actions.
Miyoko Hojo looked at them blankly, not knowing what to say, and could only say thanks.
"That Satou is really meddling."
"Yeah, those two are clearly here to extort. Knowing that, he still walks right into it. Does he really think he's amazing?"
"It would be wonderful if he got expelled."
Many students gloated.
"What are you saying?"
Suddenly, Miyoko Hojo's gaze turned cold, sweeping over them coldly.
Those students were startled. Although she was a girl, Miyoko Hojo was the school's basketball ace, and even ordinary boys couldn't beat her.
"If I ever hear you say another bad word about Satou, I will absolutely not let you off! Understand?"
Miyoko Hojo said coldly.
"Un... understood."
Under Miyoko Hojo's intimidation, these students said with trembling voices.
Mizuhara Fuyumi looked at this scene and couldn't help but smile, "This batch of new students is really interesting."
"Do we need to stop them?"
The staff member beside her asked again.
"No, let's see what they do next."
Mizuhara Fuyumi said expressionlessly.
At this time, Satou had already entered the kitchen, preparing to make the dish.
"Satou, what are you going to make? I'll help you as your assistant."
Miyoko Hojo followed him in and said.
