Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

Hisako Niito, rummaging through her bowl, explained that as Erina Nakiri's secretary, her work sometimes involved this kind of knowledge.

"You'll know tomorrow."

He picked up the broth and drank it all in one gulp, a profound and enigmatic smile appearing on Bai Yuan's face.

Chapter 322 The King's Game, Further Plans

"Does Professor Bai Yuan want to become the target of the pilot program?"

Alice Nakiri was relatively intelligent. After listening to Hisako Shirato's explanation of the pilot program, she immediately guessed Shirabuchi's idea.

"That's right. Next, I will personally become a pilot student. Only in this way can I clearly feel the students' state when faced with the same situation."

Bai Yuan nodded and expressed his thoughts.

Only by becoming a pilot student ourselves can we better understand the students' pain points and difficulties, and then formulate a more realistic plan.

"That's indeed a good method. Let's try it on a small scale first, and then expand it after confirming there are no risks. In that case, let's help out!"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Erina Nakiri's eyes lit up, and she raised her hand to help.

Even though she is one of the Elite Ten of Totsuki Academy, she is quite idle during the field training phase. If she has nothing to do for the next three days, she will probably be bored to death.

It just so happens that Teacher Bai Yuan has the idea of ​​conducting a pilot program, so having her join can also allow her to get experience in advance.

"Indeed, one person's strength is no match for that of four, and four people can provide more variables, which is helpful for the implementation of the pilot project."

Hisako Shinoto pulled out a pair of red glasses and put them on. Her voice became gentle and magnetic, and her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

In that case, wouldn't they be able to help Bai Yuan?

"I actually had the same idea. You are welcome to join us. With your help, we can definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Seeing the three excited people, Bai Yuan gave them a bright smile.

It's clearly not something a smart person would do to insist on doing it themselves when there's readily available labor.

Furthermore, Erina Nakiri and the others are students, making them more suitable as a pilot group, and using them as a control group is also a good choice.

After all, his strength is too great, and it is impossible for him to fit the students in every aspect, so the feeling would not be so obvious. Therefore, he needs the help of Erina Nakiri and others.

"Great."

"Start work, start work!"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's agreement, Alice Nakiri immediately raised her hand, and Hisako Shinto did the same. The two of them gave each other a perfectly synchronized high-five in front of Erina Nakiri.

"stare..."

Upon seeing this, Erina Nakiri was momentarily stunned.

"I shouldn't be in the car, I should be under the car..."

For some reason, this sentence suddenly popped into her mind.

Upon meeting her gaze, Hisako Aragaki, who had been quite lively, stopped what she was doing and inexplicably felt a little guilty.

"Ahem, Erina-sama, yay~"

"childish."

Seeing Hisako Shinto's gesture of giving her a high-five, Erina Nakiri tilted her head and muttered a complaint, but still reached out and gave her a high-five, making a crisp sound. Her previously sullen face looked much better.

"She's such a good woman."

Alice Nakiri covered her mouth and chuckled. What kind of childish temper did this guy have? Was he sulking because he saw his friend and someone else getting along so well?

"Alice!"

Upon hearing her words, Erina Nakiri immediately clenched her fist and punched her, her little face flushed red as she looked very dissatisfied.

"What are you doing? I didn't say anything wrong. Your thoughts are written all over your face!"

Seeing Erina Nakiri pounce on her, Alice Nakiri, who was prepared, dodged her attack and made a face as she spoke.

Erina Nakiri remained silent upon hearing her words, but her face flushed red as she chased after her, determined not to give up until she defeated her.

Seeing that Erina Nakiri was clinging to her too tightly, Alice Nakiri decisively hid behind Shiro Awakening, using him to block Erina Nakiri.

"Teacher Bai Yuan, please move aside."

"I didn't want to get in the way of you either, this idiot is grabbing my clothes."

Upon hearing Erina Nakiri's words, a hint of helplessness flashed across Bai Yuan's face.

Alice Nakiri hid behind him out of trust; he couldn't just pull her out directly, or he would betray that trust.

Moreover, it's inappropriate for him to side with either of the two sisters when they're arguing; he can only remain in the middle, as taking sides would cause serious problems!

"Aaaaaah! Alice, prepare to die!"

Seeing that Alice Nakiri was playing the game of "Qin King circling the pillar" with her, Erina Nakiri suddenly became a little anxious and then quickened her pace.

Even so, Alice Nakiri remained agile and quick, even making funny faces while running around to find joy.

Erina Nakiri ran to the back and ran out of energy, so she could only stop, put her hands on her hips and glare at her as if she wanted to tear her to pieces, but she was helpless.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's pack up and go back to our room."

Since all three women present had already established relationships with him, Bai Yuan naturally invited them to join him, ready to enjoy themselves to the fullest.

"Ah? What..."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Hisako Shinto looked surprised, a blush rising on her fair face. She then looked at Erina Nakiri beside her in a flustered manner.

"What do you mean, 'go back to the room'? What do you want to do to us? If it's just one person, fine, but if it's three of us, don't even think about it!"

What are you going back to your room for? That's hard to guess.

Erina Nakiri immediately misunderstood, biting her lower lip slightly while protecting Hisako Shirato behind her, not wanting Shirayuki to make a move on her.

She felt extremely ashamed when she was in the bathroom with Alice Nakiri, and now that she's with Hisako, she probably wants to crawl into a hole and hide!

If Hisako saw her looking so embarrassed, her positive impression of her would probably shatter completely!

"Of course you should play games after a full meal, otherwise it'll be very boring."

Bai Yuan looked completely matter-of-fact. Even if he was in a hurry, he couldn't just jump straight into the main point, because that would most likely not get him the result he wanted.

Any relationship should proceed gradually, giving the other person at least some time to prepare.

"Oh, it's about playing games."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Erina Nakiri lowered her head slightly, revealing an expression of relief mixed with a hint of regret.

What are you regretting?

Bai Yuan mentally ranted, but kept a straight face and took out a metal box from the bag containing his computer.

"This is the King's Game special edition gift box I bought; the contents are very novel."

After each round of drawing cards, the king can view the remaining cards and order his subjects to perform the punishments or rewards shown on the cards; the subjects must comply unconditionally.

In a game where there is only one male character, Bai Yuan holds an absolute advantage, whether as the king or a subject.

Therefore, this game is simply perfect for a harem expert like him!

This is the perfect after-dinner game!

"stare..."

Just as Bai Yuan was immersed in his beautiful fantasy, three meaningful gazes fell on him at the same time, carrying a hint of scrutiny.

Bai Yuan's true intentions are known to all.

After experiencing all sorts of things, Erina Nakiri and her two companions were clearly no longer easily fooled little girls, and they knew exactly what he wanted to do.

But... I can't refuse.

It wasn't because Bai Yuan had a strong attitude.

Rather, it's because they themselves have developed a taste for it.

If Bai Yuan had suggested that all four of them come together right away, none of them would have agreed, and they would have even strongly condemned such behavior.

But, if it's a game...

It's perfectly normal to accept punishment for failure.

With various thoughts swirling in his mind, Bai Yuan led the three girls into the room.

Because he didn't want to help Erina Nakiri tidy up, Shirabuchi chose Alice Nakiri's room instead. Looking at the tidy room, he smiled with satisfaction.

"As expected of Alice, she keeps her life in perfect order."

"Praising one while criticizing another is forbidden here."

Hearing Bai Yuan's sigh, Erina Nakiri couldn't help but stomp her foot. She seemed to be thinking about the situation in her own room, and her face visibly turned red.

"I didn't do anything to belittle one person and praise another; you're just overthinking it."

Bai Yuan looked at her with a puzzled expression. He didn't seem to have ever said anything bad about her room.

"Humph."

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that she was indeed being too sensitive. Erina Nakiri snorted softly, turned her head away, and stopped talking.

Hisako Shinto looked at Erina Nakiri and Hakugen with a thoughtful expression, but didn't say anything more.

At this point, saying even the slightest wrong word could easily backfire. As a smart woman, Hisako Akito has an exceptionally clear understanding of her own position.

I will not participate in any arguments and will remain neutral.

That way, no matter what happens, it won't implicate her.

It can be said to be the best way to protect oneself in chaotic times.

"Come on, here are four cards, one of which is the King. Make your choice!"

Looking at Erina Nakiri, who had turned her head away, Hisako Shinto, who had her head down, and Alice Nakiri, who was full of expectation, Shirabuchi opened the iron box.

The box contains two stacks of cards, which can support up to seventeen players at the same time. One player is the king, and the other sixteen are his subjects.

Subjects must obey the king's words without question.

"Who is the king?"

Four cards were spread out on the bed, their crisp sound echoing through the room. The boys and girls picked up the cards from the bed, their expressions varied.
