Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

Hanasaki Chiyuki spoke casually, but Tadokoro Megumi took it to heart. She then turned around, quickly left the kitchen, and ran out of the dining room.

A gentle breeze blew, and Tadokoro Megumi stepped outside.

"Is the person already gone...?"

Reaching out to brush her wind-blown hair aside, Tadokoro Megumi looked around. At this hour, there were hardly any pedestrians on the street.

"Actually, I didn't leave; I just followed you out."

Just as Tadokoro Megumi was hanging her head in disappointment, a familiar voice sounded from behind her. Turning around, she saw a familiar figure.

"Teacher Baiyuan!"

Without any hesitation, Tadokoro Megumi opened her arms and pounced on him like a swallow returning to its nest, her little nose twitching as she inhaled his scent, while planting a heavy kiss on his cheek.

“I knew it was you. No one else would explain the details of the material so clearly, and it’s even more impossible that you would have Hanasaki Chiyuki tell me all this afterward.”

With her arms wrapped around Bai Yuan's neck, Tadokoro Megumi's eyes were tender and gentle, like a newlywed wife longing for her husband's return home, so pitiful.

"So you only realized it was me now? What an absolute idiot. Where do you live? I'll come stay at your place tonight and help you relax."

After leaving those words, Bai Yuan was certain that Tadokoro Megumi would come out, so he waited at the door early on.

As expected, things went just as he had anticipated. Tadokoro Megumi came out to greet him and gave him a warm hug.

"Okay, I'm off work too, let's go home together."

Feeling a little guilty, Tadokoro Megumi glanced at the [Hanazaki Koiyuki] Western restaurant behind her, grabbed Shirayuki's hand, and quickened her pace to walk away into the distance.

She didn't want anyone to know that the man who had tormented them for so long was her boyfriend.

However, no matter how fast she moved, she couldn't escape the eyes of Hanasaki Chiyuki, who came out with her. At this moment, the girl's mouth was slightly open, and her face was full of disbelief.

Isn't Bai Yuan supposed to like men? Why is he chatting and laughing with Tadokoro Megumi like they know each other?

and many more.

Judging from their expressions, could they be a couple?

If they really are a couple, then everything that happened today was just their play!?

Oh no, she's become part of a couple's play!

No wonder Bai Yuan wasn't interested in her. If someone has a girlfriend but still gets entangled and messy with other girls, that would be a truly heinous crime!

In that instant, Hanasaki Chiyuki thought of many things, but she didn't reveal them to the others in the kitchen, as talking about such things would affect their relationship.

If the kitchen staff can't work together as a team, the quality of their food won't be guaranteed, and as the owner, she won't let that happen.

the other side.

Shirabuchi and Tadokoro Megumi had already left the area of ​​the [Hanazaki Koiyuki] Western restaurant, and their pace gradually slowed down.

"I never expected that Teacher Bai Yuan would come to see me, and even use that kind of method to test me. It put so much pressure on me that I almost gave up!"

After stopping, Tadokoro Megumi began to complain about what had just happened.

As she got to the point, she turned her head away, a hint of resentment in her expression. Couldn't this guy have told her beforehand?

"If I had told you beforehand, you would have just seen it as a test, and it would have been difficult for you to give it your all. The outcome is good, isn't it?"

Seemingly sensing Tadokoro Megumi's thoughts, Shiroyuki explained softly.

His idea was simple: to force Tadokoro Megumi to improve through constant pressure, while he also knew that Tadokoro Megumi would definitely make a move.

Although this matter has nothing to do with her in essence, the restaurant losing money will not punish her as a kitchen helper.

But she was willing to take action anyway.

There's no particular reason; it's probably just that when faced with a difficult or complicated cooking problem, I'm unconsciously drawn to it.

Bai Yuan felt this most deeply.

That's why he felt that as long as he raised all sorts of questions, Tadokoro Megumi would eventually be the one to solve them, because that was her unique responsibility!

Chapter 303 This is at least a top-tier five-star chef!

"Finally off work! My bones feel like they're about to fall apart! Today's cooking was so intense!"

Inside the sushi restaurant, watching the last customer leave and the shop door close, Yoshino Yuuki, who was busy at the counter, revealed a relieved smile, then put down what she was holding and slumped to the ground.

After such a long and busy period, this hellish experience of entertaining guests has finally come to an end.

Customers came in like zombies, one after another leaving, and there were more than a dozen people queuing outside. There were very few empty seats throughout the entire venue.

This is Ryuji Sushi, a shop opened by a master chef!

"Well done! I really didn't expect you guys to be able to persevere and not give up halfway. In previous years, quite a few students from Yuanyue dropped out halfway."

Seeing the exhausted Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko, the manager and head chef, Ryuji Tatsushi, smiled at them while wiping his hands with a damp towel.

Having run this shop for so many years, there are very few capable young people like Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko; most of them are just opportunists.

Of course, the final outcome was inevitably expulsion.

"Thanks to Professor Bai Yuan's guidance, the quality of students in our class has improved significantly. This applies not only to us, but to everyone who has been able to stay."

Before Yoshino Yuuki could even speak in response to the praise, Sakaki Ryoko humbly shook her head, indicating that it was all thanks to Shirabuchi-sensei.

"I see. And who exactly is this Teacher Bai Yuan?"

Upon hearing Ryoko Sakaki's words, Kiriji Ryuji showed a surprised expression.

This was the first time he had ever heard the name Bai Yuan. Could he be some famous teacher? But he seemed so unfamiliar with the name...

"Teacher Baiyuan is a newly recruited teacher at Totsuki Academy, and he is incredibly skilled..."

When Shirai was mentioned, Yoshino Yuuki's face was full of pride. She was just about to give him a good compliment when Sakaki Ryoko nudged her with her hand. Then, as if she had thought of something, she smiled awkwardly and fell silent.

Teacher Bai Yuan doesn't want to reveal her strength. If she were to publicize it here, the other party might not say anything, but they certainly wouldn't be happy.

To prevent such a thing from happening, Yoshino Yuuki decisively stopped herself from saying anything more.

"Powerful..."

He waited with a puzzled expression for Yoshino Yuuki to continue, but found that she refused to say anything and stood there with a pout, which made him look depressed.

As for why the other party didn't want to say, he could more or less guess some of it.

"Alright, go back and take a hot bath, get some rest. There will be fewer guests on Sunday, but not by much. Be prepared for the same situation as today!"

When the topic of tomorrow's work came up, Ryuji Kiriji's expression turned serious.

If you don't get proper rest after a long day, you definitely won't be able to handle it tomorrow.

"understood."

"Thank you, store manager!"

"Then let's say goodbye."

After sitting on the ground for a while to recover, Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko got up one after the other, smiled and said goodbye to Ryuji Kiriji.

After spending two days with him, they realized that he was a good person. Although he was strict about cooking, he would never make the chefs and waiters work overtime.

Just like now, when business is booming, the other party chooses to close up shop and go home. Isn't that a kind of courage?

"Okay, be careful on the road, and send me a message to let me know you're home safely."

As usual, Ryuji asked the two who were about to leave.

The other party was a student sent by Totsuki Academy, so he couldn't afford any mishaps here.

"We understand, store manager. We're not kids anymore."

"That means Sister Ningye has come to see you. Go and keep her company."

Upon hearing Ryuji's instructions, both Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko showed signs of impatience.

A reminder once or twice is heartwarming, but once a day can be a bit annoying.

"Sorry, that's just how he is. He likes to worry about things and he's a bit long-winded. But you two girls really need to be careful when you're out there."

Do you need us to take you back?

A short-haired, capable-looking girl entered the store and patted Ryuji Kiriji on the head as she spoke.

Although he spoke words of reproach, there was not a trace of reproach in his words. Then he looked at Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko.

"Hehe, we won't disturb your date, Sister Ningye. We live not far from here, in a busy area. No one would be so audacious as to do that."

"That's right, don't worry, we'll be fine."

"Then let's go."

"Bye-Bye."

Seeing the two standing together like a perfect couple, Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko shook their heads slightly and then quickly left the shop.

"Those two guys can run faster than rabbits!"

"Indeed, but that's how it is; that's how we have time to be alone, isn't it?"

As he spoke, Ryuji reached out and put his arm around Wakakusa Nyoha's slender waist, pushing her towards the kitchen counter while gently lifting her up with his thighs wrapped around her.

"What are you doing? We're still in the store! What if someone sees us!"

Wakakusa Nyoya shyly pushed Ryuji Kiriji's chest, seemingly refusing but actually using little force, displaying a coy and inviting attitude.

"That's what makes it exciting! Isn't this the feeling you love most?"

Ryuji Kiriji chuckled mischievously, instantly exposing Wakakusa Nyoha's true colors.

"What?! Don't make me sound so shameless."

"Hehe, let's go to the lounge now, don't make a mess of the kitchen counter, it's hard to clean."

"Are you so impatient?"

"Of course! You have no idea how busy I was at work today. I only managed to get through until I got off work because I was thinking about you!"

Ryuji grabbed Wakakusa Renoha's slender wrist, kissing it while simultaneously groping her, and it looked like he was about to touch her body...

"boom."

The condiment bottle was knocked to the ground by the lemon leaf from the wakakusa plant, making a loud noise in the empty restaurant and immediately attracting the attention of the two people.

Ryuji Kiriji also stopped what he was doing.
