Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

As the group chatted merrily, their thoughts drifted away. Suddenly, Yoshino Yuuki noticed that the hot spring had become quiet, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.

"Could it be that they've discovered we're outside?"

Tadokoro Megumi said with a worried expression.

"It's all Alice's fault, she spoke so loudly."

"Why are you blaming me?! I'm not the only one who speaks loudly. Erina speaks loudly too, maybe she was the one who was heard."

Upon hearing someone's sarcastic remark, Alice Nakiri couldn't help but retort, while simultaneously shifting the blame onto Erina Nakiri.

Erina Nakiri rolled her eyes when she heard this, and decided not to pay any attention to her, so she crossed her arms and remained silent.

"Alright, stop arguing about this. I can hear footsteps."

Hisako Shinto's voice rang out, and the scene immediately fell silent. Then, Shirayuki walked out from inside, carrying a beautiful girl in his arms.

"Teacher Baiyuan, what's wrong with Ryoko?"

Upon seeing this scene, everyone's hearts skipped a beat, as they thought something unexpected had happened, and tense expressions appeared on their faces.

"She's exhausted and has fallen asleep. Keep your voices down. I'll sleep with her tonight, so you should get some rest."

Although he still had energy, in order to make sure that Ryoko Sakaki wouldn't be too nervous when she woke up the next morning, Shirai decided to stay by her side all night.

"it is good"

Seeing that nothing unexpected had happened, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked enviously at Sakaki Ryoko, who was being held tightly in Bai Yuan's arms.

Whether you've had it before or not, looking at this heartwarming scene evokes a sense of longing.

After nodding to them, Bai Yuan silently quickened his pace and soon carried Sakaki Ryoko into the room.

It's worth mentioning that the blankets in the room had already been laid out, indicating that someone had been there beforehand; it's just a matter of who was so thoughtful.

Silently praising the kind person in his heart, Bai Yuan placed Sakaki Ryoko in the bedding to prevent her from catching a cold, and then lay down next to her.

The bedding was a single blanket, and it was a little crowded for two people to lie down, but Bai Yuan didn't mind and simply pulled Sakaki Ryoko into his arms naturally.

In this weather, if you were to cover yourself with a thick double blanket, you'd probably die of heat.

If you don't cover yourself with a blanket, you'll catch a cold; but if you do, it feels stuffy and hot. In this kind of weather, it's really hard to know what to say or what to complain about.

"Teacher Baiyuan..."

As her thoughts raced, Ryoko Sakaki shifted slightly, placing her legs on his body. Her voice was melodious and sweet, making one's heart itch with desire.

"What a annoying little elf."

Thinking of Ryoko Sakaki's behavior in the bathroom, Shirayu couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath. He then placed his hand on her waist, inhaled her fragrance, and closed his eyes.

As for Ryoko Sakaki, she was a little uncomfortable being held, so she shrugged and put her legs on Shiro's body.

At the same time, Bai Yuan also noticed her movements, but in order to let Sakaki Ryoko rest well, he didn't say anything, he just tightened his arms.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep..."

Looking at Sakaki Ryoko's peaceful sleeping face, Hakugen also closed his eyes.

However, because he couldn't suppress the heat in his heart, he struggled until late at night before finally falling asleep, and then slept soundly until morning.

Dawn breaks.

Good morning, Professor Bai Yuan.

As soon as he opened his eyes, a gentle voice reached Bai Yuan's ears, and then he saw Sakaki Ryoko's extremely gentle smile and affectionate eyes.

"Good morning, when did you wake up?"

He struggled to sit up in bed. Because he had woken up earlier, Ryoko Sakaki had already pulled her legs back from his waist and was now lying next to him looking very dignified, while he looked rather disheveled in comparison.

Ryoko Sakaki propped her head up with one hand, her gaze fixed on his face, her eyes alluring and seemingly filled with unyielding affection.

His hair was messy from sleeping, and his brain was still active, making him look quite unkempt.

"Slightly half an hour earlier than you."

Sorry, I accidentally passed out last night. You probably didn't have much fun, right?

Thinking about what happened last night, Ryoko Sakaki couldn't help but blush. She had actually fainted at such an important moment; it was so embarrassing!

"I should be the one apologizing. I got a little carried away for a moment and used a bit too much force."

Faced with Sakaki Ryoko's apology, Bai Yuan quickly waved his hand. He had indeed been a bit carried away yesterday. If he had been more gradual, she wouldn't have fainted.

"Since we all feel sorry, let's not feel sorry at all. Yesterday's experience was great for me. Although I fainted in the end, I felt very happy."

Thinking of Bai Yuan's gentleness last night, Ryoko Sakaki's lips curled up slightly.

Bai Yuan's outburst only began when she had the strength to resist. At that time, she no longer felt pain from her first sexual experience and instead experienced endless pleasure.

Although it's a bit embarrassing to talk about, she didn't faint because Bai Yuan exerted too much force.

"Gululu~"

Just then, Bai Yuan's stomach rumbled, interrupting Sakaki Ryoko's thoughts. She then sat up in bed and said, "Are you hungry? I'll go cook you something to eat."

"Sigh~"

However, Ryoko Sakaki had just stood up when she gasped, clearly not used to her body after a crazy night.

"You should rest. Someone should be able to make breakfast."

Supporting the unsteady Ryoko Sakaki, Shirai also stood up from his chair and then helped her to the living room.

"Ryoko, what's wrong?"

Seeing Ryoko Sakaki limping towards the living room, Yuuki Yoshino, who had just brought out the steamer, immediately stepped forward, her voice filled with deep concern.

"She's too happy, that's why she's limping. She'll be fine tomorrow."

Just as Ryoko Sakaki was about to explain, Alice Nakiri's voice suddenly rang out from not far away.

The group's attention was drawn to her, and they saw Alice Nakiri emerge from the kitchen with a distinctly mocking expression on her face.

"What are you saying? What do you mean by being too happy? Shouldn't someone who's limping be injured?"

Yoshino Yuuki looked puzzled.

Compared to Ryoko Sakaki, who knows a little bit, she is completely clueless about matters between men and women. The most she knows is that dating involves kissing, hugging, and sleeping together at night.

As for more.

It's not stored in her mind yet.

"You'll find out later tonight."

Ryoko Sakaki's voice rang out at that moment. Looking at the bewildered Yuuki Yoshino, she reached out and touched her head, but didn't explain why.

"Why wait until tonight to find out...?"

This made Yoshino Yuuki look even more bewildered, and she looked at Bai Yuan as she spoke.

"Keep it a little mysterious, that way there will be a surprise tonight."

Bai Yuan couldn't explain the details, so he could only awkwardly turn his head away, hoping to make Yoshino Yuuki back down.

"Why are they all so secretive..."

Seeing Bai Yuan look away, Yoshino Yuuki's confusion deepened. She looked left and right, and seeing that no one was telling her, she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"Let's stop talking about that. What's for breakfast today? I smell crab roe, could it be...?"

"That's right, it's crab roe soup dumplings!"

Upon hearing Ryoko Sakaki's voice, Yuuki Yoshino opened the steamer in front of her.

The moment the steamer lid is lifted, more than ten evenly spaced pleats, like flower petals unfolding, can be seen amidst the swirling steam.

The translucent dough reveals a faint orange hue of crab roe, and the top is pinched into a delicate crucian carp mouth shape. The paper-thin dough trembles slightly under the steam, and you can vaguely see the sloshing soup inside, like a crystal bag containing liquid gold.

"Your technique for making these soup dumplings is excellent; you've got each one perfectly shaped."

Looking at the plump soup dumplings in the steamer, Bai Yuan couldn't help but praise them, saying that their skillful technique must have reached the level of a master chef.

You wouldn't guess it from everyday life, but Yoshino Yuuki has such amazing talent when it comes to noodles.

"It's because Xiaohui is so skilled. I was only responsible for preparing the filling. These crab roe soup dumplings were all made by Xiaohui."

"Xiao Hui packed it? That makes sense."

Megumi Tadokoro is skilled in local cuisine and has considerable expertise in noodles. If these dishes were made by Megumi, then this is simply her usual work.

"What do you mean! So it's okay if I make the bag, but it's normal if Xiaohui makes it?"

Yoshino Yuuki understood the implication in Bai Yuan's words, and with her hands on her hips, she spoke up angrily.

"Ahem, I didn't say that. It's just that everyone has their strengths. Xiaohui is quite good at making noodles, so I'm not surprised that she wrapped them well."

Seeing Yoshino Yuuki's puffed-out cheeks, Bai Yuan immediately pulled her down to sit and eat.

"really?"

"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you?"

Hearing Yoshino Yuuki's doubts, Shirabuchi patiently coaxed her, picking up a crab roe soup dumpling and placing it on her plate, then placing another one on Sakaki Ryoko's plate.

"Hurry up and try it. You've all worked hard this morning, and you probably haven't eaten yet."

As he spoke, Bai Yuan pushed the plate in front of Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko.

In the small porcelain dish, the soup dumplings appear plump and droopy, with the bottom showing an amber gradient due to the settled crab roe. The skin is covered with fine water droplets, and the edges show a slight sheen of oil, making them look incredibly tempting.

"By the way, what happened to the straws we left over from the drinks we bought the day before yesterday?"

Looking at the plump crab roe soup dumplings in front of him, Bai Yuan asked Nakiri Alice, who was standing behind him.

"It's in the living room, I'll go get it."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words and seeing the crab roe soup dumplings on the plate, Alice Nakiri instantly understood his thoughts and ran towards the living room.

A short while later, she came over with a small straw.

"Is this the model you want?"

"That's right, give it to me. Don't just stand there, sit down and eat."

While Tadokoro Megumi was still busy in the kitchen, Yoshino Yuuki and Nakiri Alice were able to take a break. The crab roe soup dumplings were freshly made, and it would be a waste not to eat them right away.
