"Wow! Such delicious fish!"
"It's simply too tender, I almost swallowed my tongue!"
As soon as they tasted it, Yukihira Soma and the others' eyes widened, astonished by the deliciousness.
Yuki Yoshino even started shouting excitedly.
"Wow, Satou-jun, you're amazing!"
Tadokoro Megumi also had wide eyes, looking at Satou with a face full of admiration.
Next, the few of them began to eat heartily.
Satou also held his chopsticks, standing by and eating.
Eight people gathered around the steamer, feasting, their foreheads covered in sweat, but they were unwilling to stop even for a moment.
In the end, a few of them even started a competition to see who could eat the most.
Among them, Kobayashi Rindo ate the most; she alone ate two people's portions, followed by Yuki Yoshino.
This deeply shocked Satou; the power of a female glutton was truly terrifying!
Even the Tsundere Erina Nakiri ate quite a bit.
However, even with eight people eating desperately, they only managed to eat half. This catfish was simply too big.
"Phew, I can't eat anymore."
Tadokoro Megumi wiped the sweat from her forehead and let out a long breath, "I feel like I don't need to eat dinner."
"Really? Megumi, you're still not good enough. I can still keep fighting!"
Yuki Yoshino said, her cheeks stuffed full.
"Heh heh, I won't give up easily!"
Yukihira Soma's eyes were bulging from eating, looking quite scary, but he still refused to admit defeat.
"Kids, want to compete with me? That's impossible!"
Kobayashi Rindo burst into laughter.
In the end, everyone was truly too full to eat anymore, sitting on the ground, holding their stomachs.
"Huh, Megumi, I feel like your skin is much brighter and smoother, is that an illusion?"
Yuki Yoshino suddenly asked in surprise.
"Ah? Really?"
Tadokoro Megumi covered her face and said, "Speaking of which, I feel like Ryoko, your skin also seems to have improved a lot!"
"Could it be because of eating the fish?"
Kobayashi Rindo said in surprise.
The girls were all inexplicably delighted.
Even Erina Nakiri had a bit of happiness on her face.
Satou knew this must be the effect of the 'Radiant Glow' skill. He walked over, glanced at the half-eaten fish, and felt a pang of heartache, asking, "Who's taking these leftovers?"
"Me!"
Yuki Yoshino was the first to raise her hand, "I want to take it back for a late-night snack."
"You can still eat tonight?"
Satou asked in shock.
"That's right."
Yuki Yoshino nodded seriously, "Such delicious fish must never be wasted!"
Looking at her determined eyes, Satou was moved at that moment!
"Me too!"
Kobayashi Rindo also eagerly signed up.
Next, everyone divided the remaining fish, and each person got a good amount.
"These fish, if processed, can actually become another dish."
Tadokoro Megumi said.
Even Erina Nakiri, when no one was looking, secretly kept some for herself.
"Huh? Erina, are you taking it back too?"
Satou noticed this and asked in surprise.
"No... no, I'm not! I wouldn't do something so embarrassing."
Erina Nakiri quickly hid the takeout box behind her back and said.
"You're not doing it because of the beauty effects, are you?"
Satou asked suspiciously.
"That... how could that be! How could I be doing it for beauty!"
Erina Nakiri's face turned crimson, her thoughts exposed, and she quickly explained.
"Hey, Satou, come here for a second."
Kobayashi Rindo suddenly walked over and mysteriously pulled Satou.
"Senior Kobayashi, what do you want?"
Satou asked in surprise.
"How did you catch that catfish of yours? Can you tell me?"
Kobayashi Rindo furtively looked around, acting like a thief.
Satou: "..."
"No."
He refused.
"Don't be so stingy! How about this, I'll pay for it, that should be fine, right!"
Kobayashi Rindo shook his arm, acting spoiled.
"Still no."
Satou said without thinking.
"Hey, you two, what are you doing here, being so sneaky?"
Erina Nakiri's displeased voice came from behind.
"Eh? Little Erina, are you jealous?"
Kobayashi Rindo asked in surprise.
"Je... jealous? What nonsense are you talking about? I... how could I be jealous!"
Erina Nakiri was completely flustered, stammering.
"Hey, Little Erina, can you persuade your boyfriend to sell me a catfish, please?"
Kobayashi Rindo pulled Erina Nakiri, discussing.
"Who... who's my boyfriend? I have nothing to do with him!"
Erina Nakiri's face was so red it could drip blood, and she quickly argued.
"You're Satou, right?"
Just then, a voice rang out, and Eizan Etsuya walked up to him.
"Senior Eizan, is there something you need?"
Satou asked.
"Why don't you come work for me? Provide me with ingredients like the one just now. You won't be disappointed with the money."
Eizan Etsuya said. As someone known as an alchemist, he naturally keenly smelled the commercial value behind such ingredients and wanted to use them to make money.
"Oh? Work for you?"
Satou couldn't help but laugh.
"That's right."
Eizan Etsuya nodded.
"I think, why don't you come work for me instead? My Rare Ingredients Research Society is short on staff, how about it?"
Satou smiled faintly and said.
"Hmph!"
Eizan Etsuya's face turned ashen, and he coldly said, "You don't know what's good for you!"
"Huh? Little Eizan, what do you want to do to my little Satou? I'm warning you, he's the man I've set my sights on!"
Kobayashi Rindo put her hands on her hips and said displeased.
"Heh heh, nothing, since he doesn't agree, then so be it."
Eizan Etsuya chuckled and turned to leave, but a cold glint flashed across his glasses.
"Don't worry, with me here, that Eizan guy won't dare to do anything!"
Kobayashi Rindo patted Satou's shoulder, acting like a big sister.
Satou: "..."
How could he feel like he was being kept?
"I say, can't you two stop being so intimate in public?"
Erina Nakiri ground her teeth, annoyed.
"Don't be so petty, Erina, I'm just saying a few words to your little boyfriend."
Kobayashi Rindo said discontentedly.
"He's not my boyfriend!"
The Tsundere roared.
