In the following days, due to the debut performance of Erina Nakiri and the three girls, Satou and the others' hot spring inn quickly became the most popular inn on the inn street. The occupancy rate soared, not only leaving Kawashima Rei's inn far behind but even experiencing a full house situation at one point.
Isshiki Satoshi's host club was equally popular among middle-aged women, second only to Satou and the others' inn.
Soon, the second round of the exam officially ended, and Satou and the others, along with the second and third-year seniors, passed the exam.
On the last night, everyone gathered at Satou's inn to celebrate passing the exam.
"Cheers!"
Everyone raised their cups together, then drank their beverages.
Actually, everyone wanted to drink alcohol because alcohol was more suitable for the current atmosphere, but unfortunately, it is not allowed to sell alcohol to minors in Neon. As a resort under Far Moon, it was also impossible for them to sell it to them.
"Phew, it's finally over."
Yukihira Soma let out a long breath and said.
The inn was fully booked for the last two days, which really tired them out.
"Yeah."
Kuga Terunori and Eizan Etsuya also felt deeply exhausted, "I feel like my essence has been sucked dry by those middle-aged women."
Erina Nakiri: "…Kuga-senpai, can you not use such ambiguous words?"
"But speaking of which, Tsukasa-senpai, how did you guys pass the exam in the end?"
Satou couldn't help but ask.
Although their inn also gained a lot of popularity due to them, it was still very difficult for Eishi Tsukasa and the others' inn to reach the ninety percent required for the exam.
"Well, because in the end, besides Rindo's eating challenge, we also added massage services."
Eishi Tsukasa smiled slightly and said.
"Massage services? Is it a perverted service similar to Isshiki-senpai's?"
Erina Nakiri and the other girls thought wrongly again.
They imagined Eishi Tsukasa massaging several plump middle-aged women in their minds, and they all shivered. How terrifying!
"No, it's a blind massage."
Kobayashi Rindo explained.
"Blind massage?"
Everyone looked bewildered. Where were the blind people?
"Hmm, we had Megishima disguise herself as a blind person, but that guy is very good at massage."
Eishi Tsukasa said with a smile.
Everyone was speechless for a while.
"Senpai, are you running a fraudulent business?"
Erina Nakiri couldn't help but say.
However, everyone was surprised that Nagi-no-ki Touko was good at massage.
"Well, because she has been pulling ramen noodles for many years, her hands are very strong, and the massage is very comfortable. I have already experienced it once before."
Eishi Tsukasa said happily, "Also, Saito's samurai sword performance has also become a tuna cutting performance. After soaking in the hot spring, enjoying a comfortable massage, and then watching a live tuna slicing, this service has been very well received since its introduction."
"It's a real shame that our Flower Boy group is disbanding tonight."
Isshiki Satoshi said with some regret.
Kuga Terunori and Eizan Etsuya were also somewhat disappointed, obviously missing the feeling of being surrounded by middle-aged women.
Everyone: "…"
Are these three guys addicted to being hosts?
At this moment, Erina Nakiri's phone rang.
She answered it, and after speaking for a while, her cheeks turned crimson.
"It's…it's too early to talk about this! I'm hanging up!"
Then, she hung up the phone with a red face.
"Erina, who called?"
Satou couldn't help but ask.
"It was Grandpa who called."
Erina Nakiri said softly, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
Satou couldn't help but feel a little strange. Why was Erina Nakiri making such a face when Senzaemon Nakiri called?
"Nothing."
Erina Nakiri said softly, lowering her head.
Soon, the banquet ended, and everyone said goodbye and went back.
"Leave the last night to me."
Erina Nakiri said.
"It's okay, Miss Erina, leave this kind of thing to us."
Yukihira Soma said.
"No need, I am the proprietress here, so of course, the last work should be left to me."
Erina Nakiri said seriously, although the exam was over, staff would only take over the next day, so they still needed to be responsible for this last night.
"I'll have Satou stay with me."
Seeing that Erina Nakiri had said so, everyone had no choice but to agree, after all, Erina Nakiri was the proprietress of this inn.
However, Alice Nakiri was obviously a little unhappy and shouted, "Erina, you are too much! You must be trying to secretly keep Satou to yourselves, right?"
"No…no, I'm not."
Erina Nakiri's face couldn't help but flush.
After everyone left, Satou checked the time. It was almost midnight, so he said, "Everyone's gone, let's take a hot spring bath together?"
Erina Nakiri bit her lip and gave him an annoyed look, but she didn't refuse, because they had already bathed together once before.
Soon, the two of them were soaking in the hot spring together.
"By the way, what was it about when the Head Chef called earlier?"
Satou asked.
As soon as this was mentioned, Erina Nakiri's face turned red, and she complained, "Grandpa is too nosy. He actually…actually told me to consider marriage."
"Huh? Marriage?"
Satou was also a little speechless. Sure enough, when people get older, they start to care about such things, even the Far Moon Supreme Head Chef.
"But Erina, you're only fifteen, right? It's still too early for eighteen."
He couldn't help but say.
"The legal age is eighteen, that's right, but if both parents agree, sixteen is fine."
Erina Nakiri said, then lowered her head, her face so red it looked like it could bleed.
"So, next year?"
Satou was immediately startled.
"Mm."
Erina Nakiri's cheeks were burning, and she bit her lip, nodding gently, "That's what Grandpa means. He hopes that as the family heir, I can… have a child sooner."
Satou was speechless, feeling that Senzaemon Nakiri was perhaps too hasty.
However, he seemed to be nearing retirement age, and in a few years, he would hand over power to Erina. If she had an heir by then, it would indeed save a lot of trouble.
"Satou, if… if Grandpa really wants us to get married next year."
Erina Nakiri suddenly looked at Satou with a shy, expectant, yet fearful expression, and quietly asked, "Would you be willing to marry me?"
