Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

Sensing the frustration in Alice Nakiri's words, Erina Nakiri's voice unusually brightened; her happiness stemmed from Alice's unhappiness.

At this moment, Erina Nakiri appeared completely at ease, even though her clothes had burst open because of the burial, she made no attempt to cover them up.

"That's true, but for some reason, something just feels off..."

Feeling the chill creeping over her body, and looking at Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto, who were completely unguarded and appeared utterly at ease, Alice Nakiri couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"What's strange about it? There's no one else in the house!"

Hearing Alice's mutterings, Erina Nakiri glared at her, and to avoid Alice reacting and criticizing her, she had no choice but to strike first.

"Wait, I almost forgot, you're the one who should be hung up next!"

Seeing Erina Nakiri's nonchalant demeanor, Alice Nakiri felt increasingly uneasy. Then, a thought flashed through her mind, and she remembered the bet they had made earlier—she had almost been fooled by her!

"Tsk, come on, come on, do whatever you want now. Even though I'm very unwilling, I will keep my bet with you!"

Seeing that Alice Nakiri reacted so quickly, Erina Nakiri clicked her tongue softly, then resignedly closed her eyes.

The way you're saying it makes me sound like a villain in a TV drama...

Hearing Erina Nakiri's resigned words and her resolute expression with her eyes closed, Alice Nakiri's lips twitched slightly.

Judging from what she just said, anyone who didn't know better would think she was a villain forcing respectable women into submission.

"Isn't that right? What kind of older sister would hang her younger sister with a rope? Only a villainous female supporting character on TV would do that."

Erina Nakiri feigned distress and asked a question while raising her hand to wipe away non-existent tears from the corner of her eye. This pitiful appearance completely baffled Alice Nakiri.

When there's nothing going on, she calls out "Hey, you there," but when there's something going on, she calls herself "little sister" and calls her "older sister." Isn't that a bit too realistic?

"You're really good at playing the victim."

Seeing Erina Nakiri's appearance, Alice Nakiri initially hesitated, wondering if she had gone too far.

But soon, after feeling Erina Nakiri secretly observing her, she suddenly realized what was going on.

The other party wasn't complaining at all; they were trying to avoid punishment by playing the victim. They were really trying to take advantage of her!

What a clever little guy!

"Teacher Bai Yuan, could you please bring me the rope from the room? I'm so lively now, I hope I'll stay that way even after I'm tied up."

Seeing Erina Nakiri's expression, Alice Nakiri couldn't help but want to laugh. She then turned her gaze to Bai Yuan, who was watching the drama unfold, hoping to get his help.

Being tied up by the person you love most must feel awful. I really want to see what kind of expression Erina Nakiri will make then!

Why is there still rope in your room...?

Upon hearing Alice Nakiri's request, Shirayuki let out a sarcastic remark, which visibly turned her dish red, and her voice stammered, "Of...of course, it's for another purpose..."

"Is there any other use for it? You live here, is there anything you need the rope for...?"

Upon hearing Alice Nakiri's explanation, Bai Yuan's expression of suspicion deepened, as if he could practically write "You're the one with the problem" on his face.

"It's probably used for some unspeakable things, like self-binding when you're free, otherwise you wouldn't have come up with such a punishment."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Erina Nakiri also realized what was going on, revealing a thoughtful expression, and her words carried a hint of teasing.

Whether I used it for anything indescribable is another matter, but you're about to be exposed to something indescribable!

Hearing Erina Nakiri's teasing tone, Alice Nakiri raised an eyebrow, then looked at her with a forced smile and said...

"..."

As expected, after hearing Alice Nakiri's words, Erina Nakiri seemed to be silenced by a spell, becoming completely speechless.

I almost forgot, she was the one who was about to be tied up and punished.

"Your agreement was that the loser would be hung up? That's not what I..."

Hearing their conversation, Bai Yuan roughly understood their bet. Immediately, the things he had done to Nakiri Alice came to mind, and a meaningful expression appeared on his face.

"Alright, Brother Bai Yuan, it would be impolite to continue."

Seeing that Bai Yuan was about to expose her past, Alice Nakiri's face visibly turned red.

In the blink of an eye, under the watchful eyes of the other two, Alice Nakiri strode forward and covered Bai Yuan's mouth, her eyes filled with a hint of warning.

"Okay, I won't say anything then."

Seeing Alice Nakiri's flustered state, Bai Yuan ultimately didn't expose her true colors, but he began to look forward to Erina Nakiri tonight.

He still vividly remembers the feeling of that night, and he doesn't know what kind of feeling Erina Nakiri can bring him.

A helpless girl is tied up, and you can do anything to her.

Just hearing such a description is enough to excite any normal man.

"What can't be said? Could it be that Teacher Bai Yuan did these things to you?"

That's right! If Teacher Bai Yuan hadn't done these things to you, why would you have wanted to do them to me? Teacher Bai Yuan must have done it first!

Erina Nakiri wasn't stupid either. After listening to the conversation between Shirabuchi and Alice Nakiri, she quickly realized what was going on and voiced her guess.

Bai Yuan wouldn't suddenly bring this up; it must mean the two of them had done something similar before, otherwise Alice wouldn't have come up with such a shameful punishment!

"What are you saying? I don't understand a word you're saying."

Alice Nakiri was naturally unwilling to admit to this shameful experience, so she turned her head away and pretended to be stupid, but she couldn't fool Erina Nakiri.

"Since you are a senior with relevant experience, then I must ask for your guidance!"

Thinking of this, the gloom on Erina Nakiri's face vanished, and she looked at her face with a teasing tone, involuntarily conjuring up the image of Alice Nakiri being hung up.

"What's there to advise me on! I've never been hung up like that, so don't make false accusations!"

Hearing Erina Nakiri's teasing words, Alice Nakiri said anxiously, she could never admit to being hung up and humiliated by Shiro Awakening, that would be too shameful!

In particular, she also experienced pleasure during the process...

Thinking back to that night, Alice Nakiri's ears flushed pink, and her heart raced uncontrollably. She lowered her head slightly, afraid that Bai Yuan would notice her unusual behavior.

"Were you really never hung up?"

Erina Nakiri expressed strong doubts about this.

"Of course not! And you're the one who's about to be hung up right now, how did you drag me into this!"

As if realizing something, Alice Nakiri finally understood that she was the one who was supposed to be hung up next, so why were they talking about her?

So Alice Nakiri ran into the room and quickly found a specially made rope for binding, the very same one that had been used to hang her up, and it looked very sturdy.

"How could something like this be in your room..."

Seeing the pink rope that Alice Nakiri took out of the room, Erina Nakiri's expression changed slightly, and her gaze towards her became strange.

This rope is clearly not something Alice Nakiri just bought; a normal store wouldn't sell pink rope...

In other words, the rope has been in her room for quite some time.

Why did Alice Nakiri hide a rope in her room for so long? Did she use it every night...?

Erina Nakiri dared not think too much about it, but her gaze towards Alice Nakiri became increasingly subtle.

Alice Nakiri felt a little uneasy under that gaze, so she reached out and stretched the rope, then strode towards Erina Nakiri with her long legs.

Seeing her menacing appearance, Erina Nakiri couldn't help but take a few steps back. However, the room was small, and she soon found herself with nowhere to retreat.

"Be careful."

Her smooth back bumped against Bai Yuan's chest. Feeling the warmth within and sensing the girl's inner turmoil, Bai Yuan spoke softly to her.

"Well..."

Because of Bai Yuan's delay, Nakiri Alice had already arrived in front of her, looking at her with a smug expression as she saw that she had nowhere to retreat.

"Just surrender and capture me!"

As she spoke, Alice Nakiri swung the rope up, the sensation of the rope against her skin was particularly noticeable, making Erina Nakiri's heart pound faster and faster, and she half-collapsed in Bai Yuan's arms.

"This is a bet, you can't go against it!"

Looking at Erina Nakiri leaning against Bai Yuan, Alice Nakiri started talking as she tied her up, occasionally asking Bai Yuan to help carry the servants.

"I know! A bet's a bet!"

But feeling the rope against her skin, Erina Nakiri blushed and turned away, lowering her slightly clenched fist as if resigned to her fate.

"Hehe, to be honest, if you seemed really willing, I probably wouldn't feel anything, but since you seem so unwilling, I'm actually getting excited!"

As expected, Teacher Bai Yuan was right. A slightly coercive approach, when it forces the other party to agree, is even more pleasurable!

"abnormal..."

Upon hearing Alice Nakiri's remarks, Erina Nakiri muttered a curse under her breath, but didn't say anything more, turning her head away and biting her lower lip with a restrained expression.

Seeing her like this, Alice Nakiri's smile deepened, and she then stepped forward and tied her up tightly with rope.

Because she had been treated like that by Bai Yuan before, she specially learned professional rope knotting skills and carefully studied how to perfectly tie a person up so that they could not move without hurting them.

Now that I've finally completed my studies, I can use Erina Nakiri as a test subject.

"Okay, try moving around a bit."

“So tight.”

Fifteen minutes later, under the watchful eyes of Shirai and Hisako Shinoto.

Alice Nakiri wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at Erina Nakiri in front of her, whose hands and feet were tightly bound by ropes and who could not break free no matter how hard she tried, and smiled with satisfaction.

"It should be tight; otherwise, there's no need to use a rope."

Hearing Erina Nakiri's sarcastic remark, Alice Nakiri chuckled. Looking at Erina Nakiri now, she couldn't help but think of herself when she was bound by Shiro Abyss, and a strange emotion welled up in her heart.

"But how do you plan to hang Erina up? I don't recall you having any equipment for that in your room. You can't exactly have someone lift her up like that..."

Looking at Erina Nakiri, who was tightly bound and whose body was sculpted into a beautiful curve, Bai Yuan placed his hand on her skin and began to wander aimlessly.

"Teacher Bai Yuan, your hand."

"Don't worry about the details. It's just that we didn't have anywhere to put it, so we're finding a place to put it."

Seeing Erina Nakiri's furrowed brows and helpless expression, Bai Yuan felt a surge of excitement. This was exactly the scene he wanted to see!

Alice Nakiri isn't the only one who enjoys semi-coercion; he does too. He especially enjoys seeing the broken expression on the face of the person being coerced, who wants to resist but is powerless to do so.

"Indeed, there are no props in the room to hang Erina up."
