Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

"Yes, the moonlight is beautiful."

Bai Yuan also spoke up, unaware that Erina Nakiri's gaze held a new emotion, and her face flushed red, showing a shy and fluttering expression.

"Did Xiaohui confess her feelings to you?"

He stared at Bai Yuan for a long time, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, Erina Nakiri's voice suddenly rang out, startling him.

"That's right, how did you know? This happened not long ago, it should have been kept quite secret."

Bai Yuan was somewhat surprised. Tadokoro Megumi had just confessed to him, so how could everyone know about it so quickly? Could it be that Alice told her?

That shouldn't be the case.

Although Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri have gotten along much better recently, they are now so close that they can talk about anything.

Alice Nakiri would never casually reveal his secret to others.

"Xiao Hui is a little drunk; she said so herself."

Erina Nakiri gave the answer: she had been sitting next to Hisako Shinoto and had watched her and Megumi Tadokoro drink together. When they got into a good time, she brought up the matter.

She vaguely remembered Tadokoro Megumi's expression at the time. The usually quiet girl was beaming with excitement when talking about this, and she couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

However, Erina Nakiri could understand her feelings to some extent. After all, for them, Hakugen was basically the most outstanding man they had ever met in their lives, the only flaw being that he was a bit of a womanizer.

However, in today's world, being a womanizer is not considered a flaw.

"Did Xiaohui say that herself? That's a bit unlike her usual self. It's probably because of the alcohol..."

Upon hearing Erina Nakiri's description, Bai Yuan quickly guessed the result, then shook his head slightly, showing little emotion.

Since you've agreed to be with Megumi Tadokoro, you should give her a proper status. It would be unfair to her if you were hesitant and unwilling to acknowledge it.

"Have you agreed?"

Listening quietly to Bai Yuan's murmurs, Nakiri Erina spoke, her voice carrying a strange emotion, somewhat difficult to utter, yet also sounding like a question.

"Of course, Xiaohui is so outstanding, beautiful, and has a great figure. Most importantly, she has a gentle personality and genuinely likes me without any other emotions involved. What reason do I have to disagree?"

As he listed Tadokoro Megumi's good points, the more he thought about it, the more he felt he had gotten a great deal, and the smile on Bai Yuan's face became more and more obvious.

The other person could be considered a perfect married woman, and it was pure luck that she liked him; there was absolutely no reason for her to refuse!

"Because she's pretty and has a good figure..."

Erina Nakiri's attention was completely focused on those eight words, her pretty face visibly flushed red, and she lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.

If we had to nitpick, she actually possesses those qualities as well, and might even have a better figure. What Tadokoro Megumi could do, she could do...

As far as the eye could see, there was her proud chest; because of her body shape, her feet could no longer be seen after she grew up.

If we really discuss it, she's got the right curves in all the right places, so if she confessed her feelings, Bai Yuan would most likely agree.

After all, this guy looks like he's a lecher!

Thinking of this, Erina Nakiri glanced at Bai Yuan with a subtle look in her eyes. Coincidentally, he also looked over at that moment.

The moment their eyes met, the girl quickly looked away, unable to meet his gaze.

"You suddenly came to me and said all this, could it be that you also have feelings for me?"

Looking at Erina Nakiri's coy and affected manner, Bai Yuan's eyes showed a playful look, and then he reached out and pinched her delicate nose.

"Huh? Ideas? For you? How could that be!"

Having her secret exposed, Erina Nakiri panicked, raising her voice several octaves as she vehemently denied the fact.

But as soon as she said it, she regretted it immediately and wished she could slap herself. If she didn't say those words, how could she confess her feelings later?

"I was a little unsure at first, but after seeing your attitude, everything became clear. We only have one chance, so why don't we give it a try?"

Bai Yuan was all too familiar with Erina's haughty little face, so he immediately opened his arms and made a gesture of embracing her, letting Erina choose.

He doesn't dislike tsundere girls, but he also doesn't want their relationship to remain stagnant. If the girl doesn't take the initiative for a long time, it's not unreasonable for him to make the first move.

"This is..."

Hearing Bai Yuan's words and seeing the open arms in front of her, Erina Nakiri didn't know what to say, standing there unsure whether to move or not.

So what choice will you make?

Bai Yuan knew that if he didn't seize this opportunity to win over Nakiri Erina, he would have to put in a lot of effort later, and by then it would be too late.

Erina Nakiri has also had a few drinks and is feeling dizzy.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have come up here under normal circumstances even if she knew that Tadokoro Megumi had successfully confessed. She only came to ask because she was overwhelmed with emotion.

"Is there any need to say anything? You've already decided everything for me. Please take care of me from now on, Bai Yuan... brother."

Since things have already been said to this extent, she doesn't need to confess her feelings; Bai Yuan seems to be interested in her as well.

Fueled by alcohol, Erina Nakiri finally stepped forward and threw herself into his arms, demonstrating her answer through her actions.

He embraced the fragrant jade, the girl's body was a little hot because of the wine she had drunk. He savored the heat and reached out to put his arm around Erina Nakiri's waist.

Suddenly, a hand wrapped around her waist, and Erina Nakiri's delicate body trembled, her entire body went limp, and her eyes became hazy at the same time.

Bai Yuan naturally didn't stand on ceremony and lowered his head to kiss her. Everything happened so naturally until Erina Nakiri pushed him away because she had difficulty breathing.

"hug..."

Just as Bai Yuan thought that Nakiri Erina was conservative and that although she had thrown herself into his arms, she was not actually willing to kiss him easily, he was about to apologize and explain.

Because the hug was a little uncomfortable, Erina Nakiri loosened her Totsuki Academy uniform, which had become increasingly ill-fitting over the years, and took the initiative to kiss him.

Seeing this, Bai Yuan stopped thinking and hugged her tightly. Feeling the warmth of the girl's body, he felt a sense of peace inexplicably.

"Oh, so you've already hugged him."

Outside the rooftop, Alice Nakiri, who had been secretly observing, started to cheer. Leonora Nakiri was standing next to her, looking at the two of them with a smile on her face.

"I told you they would make it tonight. I thought Erina could be a little braver, but I didn't expect it to be Brother Bai Yuan who took the initiative in the end."

"If Erina were brave, she would have already taken the plunge. I guessed long ago that even if they succeeded tonight, it would definitely be Bai Yuan who took the initiative!"

Upon hearing Leonora's words, Alice Nakiri revealed a confident expression.

These two people in front of her were the people she knew best in Totsuki; she had already figured out their personalities.

Having spent so much time with Erina Nakiri, doesn't she know what kind of person she is? She can't even utter a fart when they're alone together, let alone now!

"Why are you two eavesdropping?"

Feeling guilty and shy, Erina Nakiri stopped kissing the moment she heard Alice Nakiri's voice, and instead buried her head in Shirobuchi's arms like an ostrich, as if she thought that if they hadn't met, they hadn't been discovered.

Bai Yuan, seeing his pleasant mood ruined, couldn't help but complain, while gently patting Nakiri Erina's back to comfort her.

"We just came up out of curiosity. You two should be more careful. We're not in a room now; there are quite a few people outside."

Alice Nakiri cautioned that she didn't want her man doing something naughty on the rooftop to be broadcast live by others, especially not to her...

That's why she stepped in to stop them when they were about to take things further, to prevent them from making a mistake that would be irreversible.

"I know! I'm not going to do anything really here, and I'm not that irresponsible."

Bai Yuan was equally speechless. Did Nakiri Alice really think he was that lustful? So lustful that he would do it in public...?

Faced with Bai Yuan's questioning, Alice Nakiri remained silent at first, but the subtle glint in her eyes was even more heart-wrenching than if she had given the answer directly!

There was no way around it; Bai Yuan had done too many absurd things, especially after they started dating. As their relationship became more intimate, she was forced to unlock many new positions.

It was precisely because she knew Bai Yuan was unreliable that she rushed out to intercept him.

"You've digested enough, let's go downstairs and get something to eat. By the way, did you all drink? Are you planning to stay here tonight...?"

"It seems like that's the plan."

Bai Yuan grabbed the hands of Nakiri Alice and Nakiri Erina, and fled downstairs as if escaping under Nakiri Leonora's ambiguous gaze.

The restaurant on the first floor.

"Teacher Bai Yuan, hiccup, where did you go?"

Tadokoro Megumi sat in a chair, feeling somewhat dazed due to the amount of alcohol she had consumed. However, upon seeing Shirabuchi, she attempted to rise to greet him but nearly fell, only to be saved by Yoshino Yuuki.

"I went upstairs to enjoy the evening breeze for a while. Please have a seat."

Bai Yuan took a few steps forward, reached out and pinched her cheek, then sat down beside her.

The girls in front of him had all drunk some alcohol; some were still relatively sober, while others were already snoring on the table, giving him a headache.

"Cheers, Professor Bai Yuan!"

"Cheers! Cheers!"

Just as he was about to say something, Tadokoro Megumi came over and held up her wine glass, wanting to drink a toast with him. This made him flustered for a while before he finally calmed down.

After drinking the nuptial wine, there was another toast. Fortunately, Bai Yuan had a good alcohol tolerance. After drinking more than a dozen cups, he didn't feel much different except for feeling a little bloated.

His impressive drinking capacity instantly won cheers from the entire audience, with praise pouring in, and every girl looking at him with admiration.

After that, the group got a little bored and suggested playing drinking games.

It started with simple handshakes, push-ups, and squats, but gradually the content became more explicit.

Because Bai Yuan was the only man present, those who remained all had feelings for him, which led to the game gradually changing its nature as it progressed.

However, for Bai Yuan, the only boy present, the distorted game gave him all the benefits, and he played until very late before reluctantly leaving.

"Brother Bai Yuan, I'm sleeping with my mom tonight."

After the game ended, Bai Yuan immediately found Nakiri Alice sitting opposite him. He was just about to pull her back to the room to cool off a bit when he noticed that Nakiri Alice was holding Nakiri Leonora's arm and whispering intimately to her.

"ah??!"

"What do you mean 'ah'? You can sleep alone tonight, or you can make your move on Megumi or Erina, since you've already confirmed your relationship anyway."

Standing next to Leonora Nakiri, while poking Megumi Tadokoro and Erina Nakiri, who had turned into minions and were sleeping on the table, she said meaningfully.

"Forget it, I don't want them to lose something important in this ambiguity. We still need to make a proper plan."

Despite being urged by Alice Nakiri, Bai Yuan waved his hand.

Normally it wouldn't matter, but the key is that this is the two girls' first experience, and he feels he needs to cherish it, rather than just rushing forward. He should wait until they wake up and then find a suitable time.

A natural and inevitable end to a date is far more memorable than a forceful and demanding act like today.

"I didn't expect Brother Bai Yuan to be so serious. Your girls are so lucky. We're tired, so please take them back to their rooms."
