Satou returned to Erina Nakiri's mansion alone.
What left Satou a bit speechless was how big Far Moon was; it took him a full half hour to walk from the teaching building to here!
After a tiring day, Satou felt exhausted, so he comfortably took a hot bath in Erina Nakiri's luxurious bathtub.
It must be said that after a long day of work, taking a hot bath is a very comfortable thing.
"Host has completed the daily quest and received a novice gift package. After opening it, cooking skill level +3 has been obtained."
The system's voice rang out.
Although he didn't get fantasy ingredients or recipes, for Satou at this stage, cooking skill level was actually the most important, as it was the most fundamental improvement.
And daily quests were available every day.
At this moment, the phone rang.
He picked up his phone and saw that the call was from Tadokoro Megumi.
Earlier, after class, he and Tadokoro Megumi had exchanged contact information.
"Hello, is this Satou-jun?"
Tadokoro Megumi's gentle and well-behaved voice came from the other end of the line.
"Yes."
"I've already returned to the dormitory. Oh, by the way, Satou, I live in Polar Star Dormitory. Where do you live? If you have time, I can come visit you."
"This?"
Satou thought for a long time but couldn't remember the name of Erina Nakiri's mansion. "I'm not very sure."
"Is that so?"
Tadokoro Megumi said, "Oh, by the way, Satou-jun, your dormitory building is probably already preparing a welcome dinner for you, right?"
"How is that possible!"
Satou said directly. How could Erina Nakiri possibly prepare a welcome dinner for him? She probably wished she could just kick him out, right?
"Ah? Are the people in your dorm that heartless?"
Megumi was startled, "Then Satou-jun, what kind of people are your roommates?"
"Well, very willful, not frank, bad-tempered, and likes to shout for no reason."
Satou thought for a moment and said.
"Are there really such terrible people? Satou-jun, you're truly pitiful."
Megumi sighed, feeling very sympathetic towards Satou, "Then how many people live in your dorm?"
"Currently, just me and her, I guess."
Satou said.
"Then it must be a very remote and dilapidated dormitory."
Megumi felt another wave of sympathy, "Oh, by the way, Satou-jun, we're having a welcome dinner here later for that student named Yukihira. Since you're also a transfer student like him, why don't you come along too!"
"Wouldn't that be a bit awkward?"
Satou hesitated a little.
"No, not at all! It's very lively here, and everyone else is very nice, they definitely won't mind!"
Megumi quickly said.
"Host has received a new quest.
Shokugeki Side Story 1
Quest Description: Create a dish that earns the approval of the Polar Star Dormitory companions.
Quest Reward: Steamed Fish Recipe."
"Alright then."
Satou said, unable to refuse either the quest or Tadokoro Megumi's invitation.
"That's great!"
Megumi was clearly very happy.
"Oh, by the way, Megumi, I heard that transfer student named Yukihira has a habit of peeping at girls bathing, so please be careful of him when you take a bath."
Satou suddenly said, because he remembered that according to the plot, Tadokoro Megumi would be seen by Yukihira Soma when she took a bath next.
This kind of thing definitely needed to be stopped; Satou was quite happy to help others.
"Ah? I, I understand!"
Megumi was about to take a bath, but after hearing Satou's words, she was startled and quickly said, "Thank you for the reminder!"
"Mmm, no problem."
Then the two hung up the phone.
Satou took a comfortable hot bath, got up, and put on his bathrobe.
At this moment, the sound of a door opening came from outside; it must be Erina Nakiri returning.
Satou opened the door and saw Erina Nakiri just entering.
The moment Erina Nakiri opened the door, she saw Satou, who had just finished bathing and was wearing a bathrobe, appear in her bedroom. Immediately, her entire being was not well!
"You're back."
Satou greeted her.
"Back, my foot! Can you please not appear in my bedroom like this!"
Erina Nakiri roared loudly, and what was even more infuriating was that the bathrobe Satou was wearing was the one she had given him earlier!
"Alright then."
Satou shrugged helplessly, then returned to his own room.
As soon as Satou left, Erina Nakiri breathed a sigh of relief. Although it wasn't the first time, a boy appearing in front of her like that still made her blush, and her heart pounded like a startled deer.
Just then, Satou pushed the door open and came in again, but this time he was wearing the Far Moon uniform.
"What are you doing here again?"
Erina Nakiri was annoyed again.
"Oh, someone invited me to a party, so I'm just passing through."
Satou said honestly.
Erina Nakiri felt so depressed she wanted to vomit. Had her bedroom become a public thoroughfare?
She should have known better than to connect the bathroom and bedroom!
"Then when will you be back?"
She asked irritably, because when he returned, he would definitely have to pass through her bedroom again!
"This? I don't know."
Satou thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, Erina, do you have any plans tonight?"
Erina Nakiri secretly ground her teeth again, "First, I'm not familiar with you, don't call me by my first name. You can call me Miss Erina, or Lady Erina! Second, my schedule has nothing to do with you!"
"I was just worried I'd wake you up when I came back."
Satou shrugged and said.
Erina Nakiri was startled, hesitated, and then said, "I'll probably practice cooking a bit, then take a bath and go to sleep."
"That's true. I remember you don't seem to have any friends."
Satou said with sudden realization.
Erina Nakiri's face flushed, and she cried out in shame and anger, "It's none of your business if I don't have friends! Not everyone is qualified to be my friend!"
Satou suddenly felt that the Tsundere was quite pitiful; her life had been arranged since childhood, she had no friends, had never read manga, had never played poker, and her life was monotonously boring.
"How about it, Erina, shall we go together?"
He looked at the Tsundere, "There are many companions there, it's very interesting."
"Hmph! I have no interest whatsoever in the gatherings of you commoners!"
Erina Nakiri said with her arms crossed, a proud look on her face.
"A type of ingredient of the same quality as yesterday's cabbage."
Satou held up a finger and said.
"You want to bribe me? Don't dream!"
Erina Nakiri was about to refuse disdainfully, but the words changed as they reached her lips, "Re… really of the same quality as yesterday's cabbage?"
