Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

By this point, she was almost certain that Bai Yuan harbored improper thoughts about her.

In this sense, they are quite compatible; at least when she confessed her feelings to him, he could never refuse.

Thinking of this, Erina Nakiri felt much relieved. What she feared most was confessing her feelings and being cruelly rejected.

Not only would she not get love that way, but she would also lose the dignity they maintained with each other, which was something she absolutely could not accept!

"Okay, these plates are yours."

Turning his gaze away, Bai Yuan handed her several plates that weren't too dirty from the sink.

It's worth mentioning that although these plates look clean, they were actually licked clean by the women, so they were quite dirty in essence.

"it is good."

Erina Nakiri nodded and accepted the plate that Shirabuchi handed her.

Although I've never washed dishes at home, such clean dishes are simply rinsed twice with water and wiped with a sponge.

Within a minute, Erina Nakiri had learned how to wash dishes, but her mind wasn't on the dishes; she was thinking about what she was about to say.

She opened her mouth several times to speak, but swallowed the words back. Erina Nakiri really didn't know how to start the conversation; she had absolutely no experience in this area.

"What do you want to say?"

Seeing Erina Nakiri's hesitant expression, Bai Yuan keenly sensed something was wrong, so he put down the washed dishes and spoke.

"Ah, no, um, actually a little..."

Erina Nakiri was somewhat incoherent.

Take a deep breath and get yourself in the right state of mind.

Clenching her fists, it took her a long time to muster the courage. Nakiri Erina stared straight at Bai Yuan, her heart pounding with nervousness.

"No, it's simply impossible!"

Erina Nakiri tried to open her mouth but couldn't make a sound. Frustrated, she lowered her head. Just then, a warm, large hand reached out to her.

Accompanying this was the boy's gentle voice.

"It's okay, you can tell me when you're ready."

Bai Yuan rubbed her large hands, as if petting a dog, smoothing her slightly frizzy hair. Feeling the faint warmth emanating from her hair, and smelling the unique minty fragrance of the boy, Nakiri Erina's face turned bright red.

His already intense heartbeat became even more agitated, as if it were about to leap out of his chest, and Bai Yuan beside him could hear it clearly.

Bai Yuan had some idea what Erina Nakiri was trying to say by adopting this posture. After all, he was all too familiar with this kind of look; Alice Nakiri had struggled for many years in the same way.

Soon, the two finished washing the dishes and left the kitchen.

During the journey, Erina Nakiri tried to speak several times, but swallowed her words back. It wasn't until midnight that she returned home with Hisako Shinoto.

"So? What did Erina say?"

As Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinomiya disappeared from view, Alice Nakiri excitedly grabbed Shirahara's sleeve at the doorway, her eyes full of gossip.

"That young lady isn't mentally prepared yet. She'll probably need some time to make a real decision. There's no need to rush things. Let's take it slow."

As he watched the two figures depart, Bai Yuan's voice was calm. He had seen everything that Alice Nakiri had done, and he had tacitly approved of it.

After all, Erina Nakiri is very beautiful and has a great figure. Although she is arrogant, she respects him a lot, so he likes this girl quite a bit.

My lady, my gentleman is good.

Bai Yuan had no intention of letting any of the beautiful girls in the Food Wars world slip by. It was just that his dull personality from his previous life prevented him from knowing how to woo girls.

Fortunately, he has an extraordinary culinary skill.

Just by standing there, countless girls flocked to him like moths to a flame; if he simply expressed his desire, countless people would throw themselves into his arms.

This is the source of his confidence as a strong person.

"Tsk, he promised to make things clear to me today, but he chickened out in the end. What a useless guy, he couldn't even seize the opportunity."

Hearing Bai Yuan's words, Alice Nakiri was not very satisfied. She clicked her tongue and began to criticize Erina in the direction she had left without any politeness.

"You should think about yourself first."

Glancing at Alice Nakiri, Bai Yuan took a step back and bent over.

Beside her, Alice Nakiri was still pondering the meaning of his words when she was suddenly picked up horizontally. She lost her balance for a moment and clung tightly to Bai Yuan's neck, afraid that she would fall.

"what are you up to?"

Alice's voice was tinged with doubt. She was startled when she was picked up, but she relaxed when she remembered that the person holding her was Bai Yuan.

"You haven't forgotten what happened in the yard just now, have you? The punishment I'm talking about isn't just a simple joke."

He strode back to his room, speaking to Alice Nakiri as he went, telling her that this girl had broken the rules and needed to be punished properly.

"Okay, I accept your punishment."

Hearing Bai Yuan's words, Nakiri Alice assumed it was the same as usual and didn't care, only letting out a silvery laugh in his arms.

"Hey, don't touch there, it's so itchy."

Feeling the ticklish spot on her waist being inadvertently touched, Alice Nakiri looked at Bai Yuan with a hint of reproach, trying to escape punishment by acting cute as she had before.

Even if she couldn't escape, the other person would be gentler on her because of her coquettishness, and the punishment would become a reward. At least she felt happy every time, even if she was spanked.

"Can't take it already? There's more to come, so I hope you won't beg for mercy. It won't do any good, it'll just excite me even more!"

He tossed Alice Nakiri onto the bed, strode out of the drawer and pulled out leather handcuffs, making sure he could restrain her securely without harming her body.

"??!"

"Brother Bai Yuan, when did you buy this?"

Looking at the leather handcuffs in front of her, Alice Nakiri finally realized something was wrong. This time, the other party seemed to be serious. She then shrank back, looking pitiful and worried.

"A few weeks ago, I realized that the usual punishments didn't seem to work for you, and might even be considered a reward for you."

So, to help you deeply understand your mistakes when you make them, I bought these. The seller also seemed to have included some freebies.

As he spoke, Bai Yuan rummaged through the drawer and soon found a spherical object and an eye patch. He tried it on and found that he could see nothing at all after putting it on; it was pitch black.

"An eyepatch?"

As Bai Yuan walked towards her, Alice Nakiri paused, looking at the eye mask in his hand with some confusion. What was he planning to do? Was it to help her sleep?

"Put it on."

"do not want!"

Since the other party had already said they would punish her, how could she possibly obey? She pouted to show her refusal, then rolled out of bed, wanting to leave the room.

However, Bai Yuan, who had been paying close attention to Nakiri Alice's movements, was unlikely to give her that opportunity.

"Just put it on. If I take action, the end result will be the same. Don't try to stall for time. Accept the punishment sooner and end it sooner."

His body almost imperceptibly blocked the doorway, cutting off her only escape route. Bai Yuan tossed the blindfold to Alice, his voice filled with absolute authority.

"All right..."

Knowing she might not escape this fate, Alice Nakiri hung her head, looking like a wilted eggplant, but she still stubbornly looked up.

"Please have pity on me, Brother Bai Yuan."

"Being coquettish won't work. I still prefer your arrogant attitude from just now."

He personally put leather handcuffs on Alice Nakiri, with the other end of the handcuffs connected to the bed, binding her firmly and ensuring that no matter how much she struggled, it would be useless.

Seeing her struggling violently but to no avail, Bai Yuan's face showed a satisfied expression.

Then, he personally put the black blindfold on her, which she had been reluctant to wear for a long time, plunging her into complete darkness, yet her senses remained incredibly clear.

Outside the darkness, Bai Yuan skillfully removed the black stockings that accentuated the shape of Nakiri Alice's feet. After confirming that she really couldn't see, he brought them to his nose and sniffed them, then tickled the soles of her feet with his fingers.

"Ouch! Brother Bai Yuan is bullying me! It tickles! I'm sorry! I'm sorry, okay? I promise I won't do anything without your permission next time!"

Alice Nakiri was suddenly tickled on the sole of her foot, and her body twitched. She tried to pull her foot back, but found herself tightly bound.

This feeling of powerlessness immediately panicked Alice Nakiri, and she began to twist her body violently, but no matter how hard she struggled, she could not get rid of it.

Helpless, she could only resort to coquettishness, but Bai Yuan was determined to teach her a lesson and would not be fooled by such tactics.

"This is just the beginning; the real show is yet to come."

Enjoy the long night.

As he spoke, Bai Yuan gently touched Alice Nakiri's face with his fingers. His voice was gentle, but it made the girl's heart beat faster.

She knew Bai Yuan wouldn't do anything too outrageous, but she also knew how unscrupulous he would become if she angered him.

That was the ultimate experience of pain and pleasure coexisting!

The train roared and hummed in the darkness. Tadokoro Megumi waited at the exit with his suitcase. As the train slowly pulled into the station, he was the first to get off.

"We've finally arrived. Let's find a hotel to stay in."

Standing at the exit with her luggage, Megumi Tadokoro started using her phone to book a hotel in the vicinity before taking the subway from the train station.

"excuse me."

After leaving the subway and walking quite a long way, Megumi Tadokoro stopped in front of her destination and then pushed open the door of the hotel.

"Welcome. You must be Ms. Tadokoro, who called to make a reservation earlier."

The innkeeper was a gentle woman. When she heard the door open, she looked over and her eyes lit up when she saw Tadokoro Megumi. She then asked to confirm her identity.

"That's right, I am Tadokoro. Sorry to bother you."

"I am Beifengyuan. The owner of this shop is my grandmother, but now I am the one in charge. You can come to me if you need anything."

Please follow me. As per your order, we will provide you with a complimentary dinner. Are there any dietary restrictions you may have? I will inform the kitchen staff.

He led Tadokoro Megumi to her room, and on the way, Kitafuuen routinely inquired about her.

"I don't have any dietary restrictions, but I'd like to have loach dishes for dinner. I've heard that loach dishes in Gunma Prefecture are very famous, and I'd like to try them today."

Tadokoro Megumi shook her head to indicate that she had no dietary restrictions, then blinked her big eyes and made her request.

"Want to try some loach dishes? Then you've come to the right place! Our loach dishes are absolutely superb!"

This is your room. The bathroom and toilet are just to the right after you exit. Here's the key. Dinner will be delivered in about half an hour.

Kitafuu led Tadokoro Megumi to a spacious and bright room where the morning sunlight streamed in. He opened the sliding door, spoke to her, and then left.
