Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

　"Thank you."

　It's said that girls are more attractive when they tilt their heads at a 45-degree angle, a statement that Bai Yuan used to find utterly ridiculous.

　But now, seeing it with his own eyes, his suddenly accelerated heartbeat confirmed his belief.

　The girl, who specially prepared flowers for him and smiled at him with her head tilted at a 45-degree angle as the breeze blew, appeared innocent and beautiful.

　"Don't be so polite with me. You've given me so many flowers, and I'm only giving you one now. If you like them, I'll bring you a bouquet every time we meet from now on."

　Seeing Bai Yuan's moved expression, Mujichi Sonoka was clearly a little surprised, so she raised her hand and waved it in mid-air, speaking with a smile in her eyes.

　"After I settle them in, you go to your room and wait for me."

　Looking at the girls lying haphazardly in the courtyard, Bai Yuan spoke to Mujichi Yuanguo.

　The villa also has a room prepared for Kikuchi Sonoka, but this guy doesn't come often. Now that he's here, we naturally have to pamper him a bit to quell the raging fire burning inside him!

　"Let me help too. Two people are always faster than one."

　Kikuchi Sonoka spoke as she walked over to the drunken Erina Nakiri, helped her up from the ground, supported her arm with her shoulder, and placed her hand on her waist.

　"I'm not drunk..."

　Suddenly being manipulated like this, Erina Nakiri murmured as if in a dream, while her body struggled violently, causing Sonoka Kikuchi to lose her balance and almost fall to the ground.

　"Leave Erina to me. You take care of Megumi and the others. Those guys won't go on a drunken rampage."

　Seeing this, Bai Yuan quickly caught Kikuchi Sonoka's body and pulled Nakiri Erina, who was being held by her waist, into his arms.

　"Okay, leave it to me. There won't be any problems this time!"

　Seeing this, Kikuchi Yoko couldn't help but smile awkwardly, clearly embarrassed that she hadn't done a good job.

　"Don't worry about it. Erina has boundless energy and doesn't like being touched by others casually, especially when she's drunk. It's normal for her to be subconsciously wary."

　As Bai Yuan spoke, he raised his hand and gently patted Erina Nakiri's back, then picked her up in a princess carry and held her firmly in his arms.

　Nakiri Erina, still half-asleep from being drunk, felt the movement beneath her and her eyelids twitched slightly. After confirming that the person who had picked her up was Shiro, a relieved expression immediately appeared on her face.

　After that, she not only stopped struggling, but also adjusted to a comfortable position in Bai Yuan's arms, revealing a contented expression.

　The evening breeze was chilly, and the alcohol made her feel hot, but because of her slender figure, Erina Nakiri was still a little cold. Now, Shirabuchi's warm embrace was just right.

　Beside her, Kiko watched this scene, recalling the moment she had her arm around Erina Nakiri's waist, and the feeling she had...

　His reaction was so strong that he couldn't help but purse his lips.

　"You feel much better now, don't you?"

　Seeing the girl's contented expression, Bai Yuan reached out and smoothed her hair, then carried her back to the room, placing a kiss on her forehead.

　At the same time, Kikuchi Sonoka also brought Tadokoro Megumi into the room. The two worked together and quickly dealt with all the girls in the yard.

　"I'm so tired. I did a lot of exercise. I'm sweating so much and I smell really bad. I'm going to take a shower."

　Feeling the heat emanating from her body, Kikuchi Sonoka stretched out her clothes, letting her ample breasts sway, before preparing to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

　She didn't want to be with Bai Yuan smelly, as that might make him disgusted, which was an outcome she absolutely couldn't accept.

　"No need, in fact, this is just right."

　Seeing that Kikuchi was about to leave, Bai Yuan reached out and grabbed her wrist, while leaning his head closer and taking a deep breath with a look of ecstasy on his face.

　"What do you mean by 'just right'?!"

　Seeing Bai Yuan's expression, Kikuchi Sonoka blushed, then asked a question with her answer in mind, her eyes sparkling with shyness.

　"Of course, it's just the right taste, it's really amazing! That subtle, contradictory feeling, like sea salt milk foam, with a hint of sweetness wrapped in a slightly salty and crystal clear texture."

　Bai Yuan closed his eyes, looking intoxicated, while constantly twitching his nose to smell the aroma.

　The rising body temperature after exercise made the scent even more vivid, like butter melting in the sun, warmly seeping into his nostrils.

　"Your description is so embarrassing."

　Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Kikuchi Sonoka's face visibly flushed, and her body felt a tingling sensation as if she were being electrocuted.

　"You feel ashamed now? There's more to come that'll be even more embarrassing!"

　Seeing Kikuchi Sonoka's shy and timid appearance, Bai Yuan's face revealed a hint of excitement. This was the expression he wanted to see!

　"Even more shameful..."

　Kikuchi Sonoka gasped softly, then was swept up in Bai Yuan's arms, who lifted her slightly higher while taking deep breaths in front of her.

　An epic lung-breaking experience.

　The sea salt milk foam has a subtle sweetness with an occasional hint of tartness, like the fruity acid that bursts out when you bite into a wild cherry—a fleeting sensation.

　However, it is precisely this slight sourness that makes people want to explore it more deeply.

　She sniffed again, and the base notes of the perfume behind the girl's ear mingled with the scent, the lingering shadows of amber and jasmine floating like flower branches dampened by rain.

　The more humid the environment, the stronger the fragrance, exuding an alluring vitality that made Bai Yuan's heart beat rhythmically like a drumbeat.

　"Hold on tight, I'm about to move forward."

　With his leg muscles slightly tense, a power gathering within them, Bai Yuan hugged Kikuchi Ono's back and knees respectively, a smile playing on his lips.

　"Oh!"

　To this, Kikuchi Yoko excitedly responded, tightly hugging Shiro's neck with both hands, and the next moment the other party ran out like an arrow released from a bow.

　After walking through the long corridor and opening the door to the room, Bai Yuan tossed the Mujichi Garden Fruit onto the clean, soft bed, then closed and locked the door.

　"I'm gonna start now!"

　Looking at the girl lying on the bed in front of him, her hair casually scattered, her hands tightly gripping the sheets, Bai Yuan's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

　"Why say 'let's get started' when it's something like this? It's kind of embarrassing."

　"That's because you're so cute that it makes people want to savor you."

　With her pearly teeth slightly biting her lower lip, Kikuchi Yoko's heart pounded as she looked at Bai Yuan, who suddenly pounced on her. His handsome face filled her vision.

　"abnormal..."

　"Of course you're a pervert, but you even have abs. I don't remember you having them before."

　When Bai Yuan touched the girl's lower abdomen with his fingers, a look of surprise appeared on his face. Then he bent down and whispered something in the ear of Kikuchi Sonoka.

　"Well, to be precise, the workload in the kitchen is too heavy. When one person is busy, they have to take care of everything. Over time, the amount of exercise increases, and naturally, they develop abs."

　Upon hearing the question, and thinking about her recent hard work, Kikuchi Sonoka's voice carried a hint of pride; she deserved her great figure!

　"That is indeed quite hard work. Let Alice and the others go down and help you later. It will save on labor costs and allow them to get effective training."

　Upon hearing Kikuchi Sonoka's words, Hakugen's thoughts suddenly drifted into the distance.

　The best way for Erina Nakiri and the others to improve their strength is through actual combat.

　However, there aren't many suitable competitions in Japan. Although there are many student-related competitions, the level is too low. For Nakiri Erina and her peers, these competitions would be a step down and wouldn't serve any training purpose.

　Some professional-level events are usually held only once every one to two years, which is too long.

　After much thought, helping out at the shop seemed the best option for them, allowing them to improve their culinary skills by satisfying the discerning palates of customers.

　"Really? That's wonderful!"

　Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Mu Jiu

　Zhiyuan Guo's face showed a happy expression.

　On one hand, she was happy that her shop had recruited staff, and on the other hand, with those girls coming over, she could see Bai Yuan more often.

　After all, this guy can't just dump his apprentice on her and become a hands-off manager!

　"We really are like that, thinking about those things even when we're doing something like this, ruining the good atmosphere."

　As if he had thought of something, Bai Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, then buried his head again and nuzzled against the neck of Mujichienka.

　"After all, it concerns the growth of the younger generation, so it is indeed something worth paying attention to."

　"That being said, it's not appropriate to talk about this under these circumstances."

　Feeling the warm breath blowing on her neck, Kikuchi Sonoka's face turned bright red, and her eyes became unfocused.

　"Well..."

　"Don't look left or right, look straight at me!"

　Noticing the look in Kikuchi Sonoka's eyes, Bai Yuan's voice became more forceful.

　As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed both of her wrists, then lifted them up and pressed them above her head, putting her in a helpless and vulnerable position.

　"Okay, I get it."

　Exposing her armpits in such an ambiguous pose instantly brought Kikuchi Sonoka's sense of shame to its peak, making her unable to resist Shirayuki's forceful demands.

　Look directly at the other person...

　Normally, she wouldn't feel any pressure looking into each other's eyes.

　The problem is that the two have been apart for a long time, and there is a certain awkwardness when they meet again. They cannot immediately show great intimacy, and direct eye contact becomes a source of shame.

　However, under Bai Yuan's forceful demands, this sense of shame became a catalyst, causing her body to become uncontrollably excited.

　This feeling reached its peak the moment their eyes met.

　next moment.

　Dry wood meets a raging fire.

　The girl's long-suppressed emotions were finally satisfied.

　For more than a month, she had been looking forward to Bai Yuan's return every moment, sending him text messages every day to greet him, along with photos of her underwear from that day.

　She even considered flying there, but due to the business at her shop, she ultimately abandoned the idea and decided to wait for Bai Yuan to return in Totsuki.

　Now, the other party has finally returned.

　Her heart, which had been empty for so long, finally found the best filling!

Volume 1: Transmigrating into Food Wars, Becoming Alice Nakiri's Master: Chapter 288: Morning Exercise, Just Five More Minutes!

　The morning light, like melting honey, slowly seeped in through the gaps in the curtains.

　Bai Yuan woke up first, his eyelashes fluttering slightly. He turned his head and saw that Kikuchi Yonka's hair was scattered on the pillow, like a bottle of spilled ink.
