Seeing Kobayashi Rindo so naturally reaching into his pockets to search for candy, Satou felt a bit helpless and couldn't help but glance at her sideways. She says she thinks of me every day, but is it really my candy she thinks of?
"Why is there so little?"
Kobayashi Rindo rummaged through Satou's clothes and only managed to find one small packet of candy. She muttered a few words of dissatisfaction, then started reaching into his pants pockets to search.
"Ahem, Senior Rindo-senpai, your hands are being very improper."
Erina Nakiri couldn't stand it anymore and coughed lightly as she spoke.
"Oh? Little Erina, are you jealous? Don't worry, senior won't touch that area."
Kobayashi Rindo smiled slightly, revealing two sharp little canine teeth. Her hand, however, deliberately moved a bit closer to Satou's indescribable area, looking as if she had the urge to touch it.
Satou's forehead was covered in black lines. He coughed lightly and said, "Senior Rindo-senpai, that's enough. This is all the candy I have."
"Hmph!"
Kobayashi Rindo finally withdrew her hand from Satou's pocket, snorted twice through her nose, then opened the candy wrapper and popped one into her mouth.
"Hehe, finders keepers."
Yuki Yoshino stuck out her tongue playfully and said with a laugh.
"I want some too."
Ryoko Sakaki also snickered and joined in asking for some.
"No problem, everyone come and have some!"
Kobayashi Rindo generously shared with everyone.
In no time, the candy she had snatched from Satou was all gone.
"That's stolen goods."
Satou muttered quietly.
"Little junior, what did you say? This is clearly my spoils of war!"
Kobayashi Rindo pulled on Satou's face and said with annoyance, the sweet scent of candy from her mouth wafting onto his face.
"This is clearly what you took from me, isn't it?"
Satou muttered.
"You're terrible!"
Kobayashi Rindo gritted her teeth, swept her leg out, knocking Satou to the ground, then quickly followed up. Her two pale, long legs scissored around Satou's neck, while her hands grabbed one of his arms.
Satou was almost choked, unable to breathe. He turned his head and saw the white panties Senior Rindo-senpai was wearing today.
"Hmph! Little junior, do you admit your mistake?"
Kobayashi Rindo tugged on his arm forcefully and said triumphantly.
"Cough, I... I admit my mistake."
Satou coughed twice and managed to speak with difficulty.
Only then did Kobayashi Rindo nod with satisfaction and release him.
Satou rubbed his neck, coughing while muttering quietly, "I didn't expect it to be white today."
"Hmm? What are you muttering about again, little junior?"
Kobayashi Rindo narrowed her eyes, her tone carrying a hint of threat.
"Nothing."
Satou said quietly.
"Class is starting now. In this lesson, you will learn how to handle some difficult ingredients."
Chapel spoke up at this point, "The specific handling methods are already written on the blackboard."
Satou turned to look and indeed saw the specific handling methods and precautions for ingredients like pufferfish, giant salamander, and eel.
Pufferfish contain toxins and require very delicate knife skills. Anglerfish, due to their large size and slimy surface, are also very difficult to handle.
Ingredients like eel and catfish have slippery mucus on their surface, which increases the difficulty of handling them.
"The task for this class is for each of you to present one processed ingredient, demonstrating your knife skills."
Chapel said plainly, "Of course, the standards differ by grade."
"One per person?"
Tadokoro Megumi's small face turned pale, looking a bit scared.
"Megumi, you can do it! Last time during the Autumn Election, you successfully handled the difficult anglerfish, didn't you? No problem!"
Satou encouraged her.
"Mm!"
Tadokoro Megumi nodded heavily.
For some reason, after receiving Satou's encouragement, her heart suddenly felt much calmer.
"Speaking of which, knife skills are Saito Soumei's specialty, right?"
Erina Nakiri glanced at Saito Soumei, who was standing not far away with a huge kitchen knife on his back, and said.
"Well, yes, I heard Senior Saito's knife skills are the best among the Elite Ten."
Ryoko Sakaki nodded and said.
"That's not necessarily true! Your senior is very skilled!"
Kobayashi Rindo suddenly giggled, revealing her two little canine teeth.
"Huh? Senior Rindo-senpai, your knife skills are also impressive?"
Yukihira Soma asked curiously. In his impression, Senior Rindo-senpai was always a cheerful, outgoing, and pretty girl.
"What? Do you want to give it a try?"
Kobayashi Rindo narrowed her eyes slightly, a dangerous glint flashing within them.
"Wild ingredients that enter Senior Rindo-senpai's kitchen all share the same fate."
Erina Nakiri couldn't help but chuckle lightly, "Senior Rindo-senpai's ingredients are all those rare, hard-to-find delicacies. Without exception, these ingredients are extremely difficult to handle."
Next, everyone quickly sprang into action.
The ingredient Kobayashi Rindo chose to handle turned out to be a snake.
Although it was a farmed snake, everyone still felt a chill seeing it.
"As expected of a third-year senior, this is an ultra-high difficulty ingredient."
Yuki Yoshino, Ryoko Sakaki, and the others watched the scene, trembling.
Erina Nakiri's face also paled, and she instinctively moved closer behind Satou.
Clearly, girls are naturally afraid of such things.
Kobayashi Rindo displayed her set of kitchen knives.
These kitchen knives varied in size and blade shape, each evidently serving a different purpose.
Kobayashi Rindo held these knives between her ten fingers, smiled slightly, and said, "Ingredients that enter my kitchen share only one fate!"
Watching her cleanly gut the snake, skillfully skin it and remove its head, the bloody scene made everyone feel a bit uneasy.
Especially Satou. Watching Senior Rindo-senpai handle the snake with her scalpel-like precision, he felt an inexplicable chill down below for some reason.
He couldn't help but recall the scene from last night when Erina Nakiri bit him.
Compared to Erina, Senior Rindo-senpai was undoubtedly much more terrifying. What if she got unhappy in the future...
