Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

As they were talking, Bai Yuan had already scooped up the rice and placed it in front of the two of them.

Food tastes best when eaten with rice!

"I'm gonna start now!"

Although she had already sneaked a bite, there had to be a ritual before the meal was officially served, so Erina Nakiri put her hands together in prayer.

"Oh, Alice, you ran away again!"

However, just as Erina Nakiri raised her hand, Alice Nakiri's chopsticks fell down, taking away a large portion of the vegetarian eel shreds from the center of the plate.

"Hehe, this is called first come, first served!"

Alice Nakiri's silvery laughter rang out; this was the moment she had been waiting for.

I don't know when it started, but teasing Erina Nakiri became one of her few forms of entertainment.

Chapter 300 The Crisis of Megumi Tadokoro and Miyoko Hojo

After a satisfying meal, Bai Yuan sat on the sofa and played a game of "Oni Cards" with the Nakiri sisters.

The kind where you have to take off a shirt if you lose a game.

Although they were a little shy at first, after a few rounds of games, the atmosphere was completely heated up, and the boys and girls were full of excitement.

Especially Erina Nakiri, who had lost several matches in a row, was now completely out of control.

She used a pillow to slightly cover her body to avoid revealing too much, and then looked up at Bai Yuan with a slightly reproachful expression.

This guy saw her keep losing and didn't even bother to let her win!

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Erina Nakiri lost to Hakugen in many of her matches.

Even when she resorted to cheating in the end, using a stocking as a piece of clothing or even a hair tie, she still couldn't escape the fate of losing.

At this moment, Erina Nakiri had gone all in; she had nothing left to lose.

"I should win this time, right?"

Looking at the seven cards in Bai Yuan's hand, Nakiri Alice had nine cards, while she only had three left, giving her a very high chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Erina Nakiri raised her head, looking like a proud peacock, and drew a card from Shirai's hand while thinking.

"Fool."

Seeing Erina Nakiri's smug little expression and the card she chose, Bai Yuan bluntly made a sarcastic remark, which jolted her out of her reverie.

"what?"

Suddenly being criticized, Erina Nakiri had a bad feeling and then flipped the cards in her hand.

A black and white demon appeared in her eyes.

She actually drew the only Joker card on the field, and just when she was about to win, she became the unlucky one!

It's okay, there's still a chance.

Seeing the cards in her hand, Erina Nakiri's heart skipped a beat. She had lost the last time because of this Joker, but she still pretended to be calm.

After all, apart from Bai Yuan, no one knows that the Joker is in her possession.

"Is it my turn yet?"

Seeing Erina Nakiri's indifferent expression after drawing the Joker, as if she had entered a monastery, Alice Nakiri placed her finger to her lips, seemingly deep in thought.

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and draw your cards."

Seeing that Alice Nakiri hadn't moved for a long time and was looking at her with an expression that said she had seen through everything, Erina Nakiri, who had been pretending to be serious, suddenly became a little anxious, and her heart was pounding.

"Erina, did you know that when you're nervous, your toes tend to curl up unconsciously, and you tend to move unwanted cards up a bit more?"

Alice Nakiri's voice rang out, her finger pointing to the slightly protruding Joker card in Erina Nakiri's hand: "If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the Joker card, otherwise you wouldn't be pretending to be calm."

Your weakness is that you're too calm. When you drew different cards earlier, you'd likely experience some emotional fluctuation.

"So I chose this one."

"Lucky, two of a kind, so I only have eight cards left."

Her finger left the highest card on Erina Nakiri's head and chose the one next to it, a relaxed expression appearing on Alice Nakiri's face.

"Damn it!! We've been found out!!"

Erina Nakiri lowered her head in frustration, then noticed her curled toes and realized how obviously her nervousness was showing.

Several more rounds of the game followed.

Bai Yuan and Nakiri Alice have fewer and fewer cards in their hands, while Nakiri Erina's Joker cards remain unused. Nakiri Alice seems to have gained supernatural insight, as she can accurately draw non-Joker cards every time.

"End the battle."

As the player who originally had the most cards on the field, Alice Nakiri was the first to use up all her cards, and then showed a smug expression.

"Did you mark the cards?"

Looking at Alice Nakiri's expression, and at the three cards in her hand that hadn't been used since she drew the Joker, Erina Nakiri gritted her teeth in anger.

How does this guy always manage to precisely avoid the wrong answers!

She had clearly done everything she was told, including keeping her toes straight and adjusting the cards to be parallel. Logically, there shouldn't have been any flaws!

"That would be true under normal circumstances, but since I just told you about the shortcomings you've exposed, it's impossible that I only noticed these two shortcomings."

Alice Nakiri's lips curled slightly upwards, her straightforward gaze practically screaming, "You idiot, you still don't understand this!"

"It's the look in your eyes."

Because of your nervousness, Erina, you subconsciously glance at the Joker card in your hand when drawing cards, which makes it easy for you to figure out.

Bai Yuan's voice rang out, completely dispelling Nakiri Erina's doubts. She then recalled the previous few card games and realized that she had indeed been looking at the Joker cards the whole time.

"That's it! Your eyes are so obvious. The more you pretend to be serious, the more you reveal your unusual nature!"

If Erina Nakiri didn't pretend to be serious and act uneasy, it would be fine. The problem is that she's too serious, which makes her gaze all the more obvious.

So...

Holmes Alice Nakiri was born!

A series of mocking laughs emanated from her nose. Alice Nakiri looked quite pleased with herself, while Erina Nakiri was somewhat exasperated. Finally, she looked at Shirai Abyss.

"Teacher Baiyuan, let's duel!"

If I lose this match, not only will I remove the last shackle I'm wearing, but I will also grant you all your requests.

Conversely, if you lose, you'll end up like me! Dare you?!

Erina Nakiri, her face flushed, stared at Bai Yuan and challenged him to a life-or-death duel.

If this continues, she will be completely taken advantage of by the two men in front of her, falling into an endless hell where they can do whatever they want to her!

Since that's the case, we might as well take a gamble.

"A duel? That's interesting. Gamblers risk everything for a moment of pleasure, even if losing means certain death."

Since you've made up your mind, it would be pitiful if no one responded. In that case, I accept your challenge!

Hearing Erina Nakiri's words and seeing her unwavering gaze, Bai Yuan suddenly smiled, then seriously agreed to her suggestion.

After all, for him, losing was just a matter of taking off a few clothes.

Why would a grown man be afraid of this?

Moreover, this was originally just a little game to advance the plot, enhance their feelings for each other, and increase their physical intimacy.

"Let's begin. I have four cards left, and you only have three. The advantage is on your side."

Bai Yuan's voice carried a hint of teasing, and upon hearing his words, Nakiri Erina suddenly turned around and began to carefully examine the cards.

After confirming that there were no special markings on it, Erina Nakiri breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as her opponent doesn't cheat, or if she doesn't catch them cheating, she will only feel ashamed of her own shortcomings even if she loses, rather than complaining or blaming others.

Now it's time to truly decide the outcome!

"Yes, number 3, it's your turn."

Erina Nakiri drew a card from Bai Yuan's hand, her expression filled with surprise. She then played a pair of 3s, leaving her with only two cards in her hand.

Victory is imminent!

He tightened his grip on the two cards in his hand, a joker and a 10. If the opponent drew the joker, the chances of winning this round would be very high!

"You lost with a pair of 10s and a pair of Aces."

Seeing Erina Nakiri holding her hand high, her face full of fighting spirit, Bai Yuan didn't hesitate. He casually pulled a card from her hand, looked at the number on it, and a victor's smile appeared on his face.

"Wait, didn't you have four cards?! Why is there a pair in it? No, there should be a pair, but why didn't you play it!"

Seeing this, Erina Nakiri seemed to realize that if Shirabuchi didn't have a pair in his hand, it would be impossible for him to have an even number of cards.

Now, she took the 3 from Bai Yuan's hand and played it as a pair, completely eliminating his worries and freeing him from any further concerns.

So he played two pairs in a row and won the game directly...

The reason for leaving the pair of Aces was probably just to prevent her from drawing the Joker and reduce her chances of winning in one go. It was really full of calculation!

Erina Nakiri wasn't stupid; after a moment's thought, she understood Shirabuchi's intentions, and a look of resentment immediately appeared on her face.

What an arrogant fellow.

They actually dared to scheme against her and manipulate her at will!

Just as Erina Nakiri was about to say something, she felt a tremendous force on her arm, and then the pillow she was holding flew off.

"Alright... let's start fulfilling our promise."

Bai Yuan's voice was light and cheerful as he reached out and grabbed Nakiri Erina's wrist, quickly pulling it upwards.

"Huh?! So fast?! It's here!!"

Suddenly attacked, Erina Nakiri's voice changed tone, and her face, which was already slightly pink, turned bright red.

"That's right, it wasn't you who said that I could do whatever I wanted as long as I won. I want to start right now, and you have no choice but to comply, right?"

Looking at the girl in front of him, who was lightly biting her lower lip, Bai Yuan's voice revealed excitement.

He hadn't forgotten what Erina Nakiri had just said. He thought he'd have to provoke her a little, but this idiot actually agreed on her own.
