Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Hisako Shinto's originally calm face visibly turned red, and even her voice changed slightly, taking on a melancholic tone.

He was not as calm as he had appeared before.

"Brother Bai Yuan, what are you standing there for? Come over here and be the referee!"

The urging voice came from not far away. Looking at Alice Nakiri waving at him from afar, Bai Yuan nodded slightly, then quickened his pace and walked up to the center of the two teams.

"So, the game will be played on a two-goal scale, meaning whoever loses by two goals first will lose."

By the way, I have prepared rewards not only for the first place, but also for the second, third and even fourth place, and the higher the ranking, the better the reward.

Do your best.

Thinking that he couldn't show favoritism, Bai Yuan prepared corresponding rewards for the girls who ranked other places during their training.

Is there a reward for fourth place?

Hearing Bai Yuan's name, everyone present was somewhat surprised, especially Yoshino Yuuki, who had originally thought she was definitely out of luck with the reward.

After all, although they were striving to be number one, two hours was simply too short. Ryoko Sakaki couldn't learn anything at all, and being able to go through a few rounds smoothly was already her limit.

Having confidence is a good thing.

But failing to recognize reality is a bad thing.

"Of course, even fourth place will receive a good reward, so your efforts won't be in vain."

Upon hearing Yoshino Yuuki's question, Bai Yuan smiled mysteriously.

"But that's a matter for later. Enough of this small talk, let's start the competition."

In an instant, Bai Yuan's expression changed from kind to serious.

The gazes I cast upon them now held a touch of impartiality, a fundamental quality of a referee.

Let's decide who goes first by playing rock-paper-scissors.

As they were talking, Yoshino Yuuki and Nakiri Alice stepped forward at the same time and started playing rock-paper-scissors.

The scissors cut the cloth, and Yoshino Yuuki gained possession of the ball.

"Then we'll head out first!"

Looking at the scissors she had drawn, Yoshino Yuuki's face lit up with joy.

Gaining possession of the ball now undoubtedly gives us a significant advantage.

If you can build momentum from the very first point, your chances of winning the game will increase significantly!

That's why we need to fight for possession of the ball!

"Ryoko, you serve the first ball."

"clear."

Ryoko Sakaki did not refuse Yoshino Yuuki's request.

I mentioned before I arrived that this duel would be commanded by Yoshino Yuuki, so I will carry out whatever orders she gives!

Chapter 364 Ryoko Sakaki is injured, and she takes medicinal food to nourish her body.

"boom--"

As the sharp, piercing whistle rang out, Yoshino Yuuki attacked Tadokoro Megumi without hesitation, wanting to catch her off guard.

Megumi Tadokoro was no pushover either. After two hours of training, she became familiar with the rules of beach volleyball and skillfully utilized her agility.

"Ryoko, answer this quickly!"

Seeing Tadokoro Megumi in her hitting stance, Yoshino Yuuki, who had just landed and was a little unsteady on the soft sand, hurriedly called out to Sakaki Ryoko.

"it is good!"

Ryoko Sakaki hurriedly agreed and quickly took a step back so that she could react immediately no matter whether the ball flew to the left or the right.

Seeing this, Yoshino Yuuki felt a little relieved and immediately moved to the front to wait.

However, what she didn't expect was.

When Tadokoro Megumi saw their positions, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, as if she had expected it all along, and then she slapped the ball towards the net.

"nice shot."

Yoshino Yuuki quickened her pace and stepped forward, ready to take the point, but Nakiri Alice had somehow arrived at the net as well.

She smiled nonchalantly as she watched the ball soar into the sky, still high in their area, then raised her arm and struck the ball hard into the open space in the distance.

In an instant, the three balls began to shake violently. Bai Yuan's gaze followed them closely, and seeing the confident and arrogant expression on the girl's face, he was in a good mood as well.

"Shh-"

"The ball is in play, and Tadokoro Megumi's team gets one point."

Looking at the volleyball clinging to the edge of the beach, Bai Yuan raised the bright red swimsuit he was using as a flag and announced that Alice Nakiri and Megumi Tadokoro had taken the first point in the match.

After hearing what Shirabuchi said, Tadokoro Megumi and Nakiri Alice gathered together and slammed their palms together.

"To actually let Xiao Hui draw attention while hiding the real attack behind the scenes, how insidious!"

Looking at the volleyball stuck in the sand pit and the two celebrating excitedly, Yoshino Yuuki stomped her foot in annoyance and shouted at Nakiri Alice.

"This is wisdom, my darling."

Faced with Yoshino Yuuki's questioning, Nakiri Alice stood in front of the net with her hands on her hips, displaying an expression of extreme pleasure.

In competitive sports, she was far happier by the insults of her enemies than by their praise, especially those shouts that were slightly defensive.

"Focus your energy, let's win this round!"

Yoshino Yuuki spoke to Sakaki Ryoko beside her, her heart pounding faster and faster. If they lost one more point, they would be defeated.

So no matter what, we can't afford to concede the next goal!

"it is good."

Ryoko Sakaki nodded slightly.

Alice Nakiri won just now because she caught them off guard, but now that they are on guard, they will never be defeated by such a move again!

"Win another goal."

Seeing the two regroup, Alice Nakiri didn't show much change in expression. Instead, she held up a finger to Megumi Tadokoro beside her.

Megumi Tadokoro nodded knowingly.

She figured it out now.

Since it's a competition, giving it your all is the greatest respect you can show to Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko.

If you hesitate or act coy out of consideration for friendship, or even make concessions or go easy on them, that would be an insult to Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko.

Proud as they are, they surely wouldn't want to be insulted like this!

"let's start."

Tadokoro returned to her original position and looked at Baiyuan. Seeing that everyone had taken their places, Baiyuan blew his whistle without hesitation.

"Shh-"

The ball flew out of Tadokoro Megumi's hands the next moment.

"watch out!"

Yoshino Yuuki stood at the net, displaying superhuman jumping ability. Just as she was about to hit the ball, Nakiri Alice seemed to have anticipated her move and was waiting at her hitting point in advance.

"Ryoko, come here."

Seeing that her front was completely blocked and Tadokoro Megumi was watching her from behind, Yoshino Yuuki was not a good point of breakthrough at all. She decisively passed the ball to Sakaki Ryoko, who was not far from her.

But no sooner had she passed the ball than Alice Nakiri, who had been watching her, immediately changed her target and jogged toward Ryoko Sakaki.

"She saw right through me long ago. You can't beat me in terms of strength."

Looking at Ryoko Sakaki, who was about to send the ball over the net and pin it down with her palm.

Alice Nakiri countered by leaping up from the sand and grabbing the ball her opponent was spiking with her outstretched hand, engaging in a power contest with her in mid-air.

As for strength, Alice Nakiri, who has practiced ancient martial arts since childhood, is confident that she will not lose to anyone!

As she exerted force with her arms, the scales of victory began to tip.

Ryoko Sakaki's expression also turned ugly at this moment.

Because she realized that she was no match for Alice Nakiri in terms of strength, the ball that Alice had pushed over fell towards her.

And because she jumped first, she began to fall.

"Shh-"

"Score valid! Tadokoro Megumi's team scores one point, bringing their total to two points, and they win the match!"

As the volleyball landed on the ground, Ryoko Sakaki also crashed heavily onto the beach, landing squarely on her bottom. She winced and gasped in pain.

"Ryoko!"

"Are you alright, Ryoko?"

Upon seeing this, Yoshino Yuuki quickly stepped forward to check on the situation, her face filled with worry.

Meanwhile, Tadokoro Megumi and Nakiri Alice, who were on the other side of the net, rushed over immediately and stood by without daring to move.

If someone is injured, it's best to wait by their side unless absolutely necessary to avoid causing further harm, as that would be inappropriate.

"let me see."

Bai Yuan pushed through the crowd and looked at the girl who had fallen to the ground, gasping for breath. A look of heartache appeared in his eyes.

"Aside from a slight pain when I first fell, I'm fine."

Seeing so many people gathered around to show their concern for her, Ryoko Sakaki blushed a little. Falling on her butt while playing volleyball on the beach was just too embarrassing!

So he waved his hand frantically, indicating that he was fine.

"Don't say that. It might just be okay for now, but you've actually broken a bone. Let me take a look. Turn over and I'll help you ease the pain."

As he spoke, Bai Yuan reached out and put his arm around Sakaki Ryoko's waist, helping her flip over on the sand.

Without any attempt to avoid suspicion, he placed his hand directly on Ryoko Sakaki's tailbone and began to examine her injuries by feeling her bones.
