Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

"But if we do that, everyone will see us, and that would be so embarrassing!"

Seeing that Bai Yuan was about to step out of the bathroom, Mito Yumi quickly explained why she didn't want to go out. As she spoke, she reached out and hugged his head, trying to block his view and get a brief moment of respite.

"Isn't that more interesting?"

But Bai Yuan wasn't buying it at all. Instead, he started talking in a rather nasty way, and he could clearly feel Mito Ikumi's muscles tensing up.

This is undoubtedly a sign of nervousness.

"What's more interesting here! You devil, Professor Bai Yuan!"

Upon hearing this, Mito Ikumi knew exactly what Shirai was thinking. He must know she was shy, so he did this on purpose to get her embarrassed expression. She gritted her teeth and said it.

This guy just loves seeing girls embarrassed! He's a total pervert!

It's not just her.

Neither Erina Nakiri nor Alice Nakiri could escape his clutches! They were all manipulated by him using various schemes.

As Bai Yuan finished speaking, various images flashed through Mito Ikumi's mind.

It seems that from a very early age, Bai Yuan had been dedicated to making them show shy expressions, as if seeing them show such expressions was the happiest thing in the world.

Such behavior is undoubtedly perverted.

But Bai Yuan continued to do it with great enthusiasm.

From this, we can conclude that Teacher Baiyuan is also a pervert.

Of course, even if Bai Yuan was a pervert, she still loved him deeply, but being publicly executed felt so shameful! Her body felt numb and tingly!

As the bathroom door slowly opened, Mito Ikumi tightened her grip on Shiroyuki. The soft object pressed against him, obscuring his vision. A fragrance wafted to his nose, and he could only move forward by his senses.

Mito Ikumi, afraid to see everyone's faces, closed her eyes, her heart pounding like a drum, her whole being incredibly nervous.

However, the expected teasing words did not come. When I opened my eyes, I saw an empty living room with various leftovers on the table, which the housekeeper, who was responsible for cleaning the house every day, had cleaned up.

"What about people?"

A questioning voice came from Mito Ikumi's mouth as she scanned the living room, but she did not see the scene she had expected.

What's happening here?

"Going back to the room for a pillow fight."

When you came out and found the living room empty, weren't you quite disappointed?

Seeing that Mito Ikumi had finally let go of his head, Shiro said jokingly as he strode toward her room.

"I have no expectations at all. How could I possibly expect something like that!"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Mito Ikumi immediately retorted, her face flushing with excitement, and her lips pouting involuntarily.

"Really not? Then why do I hear such obvious disappointment in your tone?"

Bai Yuan continued lying without batting an eye, then opened the door to Mito Ikumi's room and gently placed her on the bed.

"I'm not disappointed at all! But I'm really looking forward to being with Teacher Bai Yuan."

Back in her room, Mito Ikumi seemed to have found her anchor; her voice wasn't trembling as much anymore, and she got out of bed, her eyes filled with intense emotion as she looked at him.

"how..."

Surprised by Mito Ikumi's change, Shirabuchi opened his mouth to say something, but the other stepped forward first, placed his hand on Shirabuchi's abs, and kissed him directly.

"Teacher Bai Yuan, I like..."

After a long while, their lips parted, and a glint of water seemed to appear in the girl's eyes. Her voice was exceptionally soft and alluring, completely devoid of her previous shyness.

"I like you too."

"Then let me take the lead tonight. It's always been Teacher Bai Yuan who takes the lead before."

Mito Ikumi pressed her face against Bai Yuan's chest, acting very proactively, and while speaking, her small hands also moved, which made Bai Yuan look surprised.

Is this still the same Mito Ikumi who blushes after just a few words with him?!

Where did you give it to him?!

But thinking about it carefully, it's normal, after all, Mito Ikumi used to be just as enthusiastic.

It was only because he loved to tease her so much that she was always on the defensive and forgot her true self for a moment.

Now that they're back in their own room, the door is closed and the space is sealed off. Whatever happens inside is known only to the two of them.

Thinking of her initial purpose, Mito Ikumi took a deep breath.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Bai Yuan could vaguely sense Mito Ikumi's determination, so he decisively put down his hands and handed the situation over to her to take control.

"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

As she spoke, Mito Ikumi grabbed both of Shirayu's hands, then pushed him forward, pinning him against the wall, her eyes filled with surging love.

"Hey, watch out!"

A pristine white pillow was thrown against Alice Nakiri's face, accompanied by the girl's silvery laughter, tinged with a hint of mischief.

"You dare to show off your meager skills before an expert! Watch me dodge!"

Upon hearing Yoshino Yuuki's voice, Nakiri Alice seemed to have some kind of telepathic connection, deftly dodging her attack. Then, with a graceful turn, she threw the pillow that had fallen to her feet towards Sakaki Ryoko.

However, the unexpected attack missed, as Ryoko Sakaki turned her head to dodge it, and the pillow ended up landing on Megumi Tadokoro's head.

"Hmph, prepare to die, Alice!"

At the same time, Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto launched a surprise attack on Alice Nakiri from the left and right. Pillows flew from both sides, forming a pincer movement. Alice Nakiri was unable to dodge in time and was finally hit in the chest by Erina Nakiri's pillow.

"I'm really going to get serious!"

The attack was not very damaging but extremely insulting. Alice Nakiri's fist tightened involuntarily, and then she charged forward, throwing the pillow she was holding directly at the attacker.

This is the method with the highest hit rate.

The only drawback is that it is easy to be ambushed during a charge.

After all, no one on the scene is a fool. If those who charge forward are allowed to act recklessly, they will be the ones who suffer in the end.

It's like nuclear deterrence; you can have it, but you can't use it.

Once released, they will become public enemy number one and be targeted by everyone.

After all, no one knows if they will be the next person attacked, and being chased around with a pillow is not a pleasant experience.

This terrible idea must be stopped at its source!

Pillows were thrown out and fell, and Alice Nakiri stopped in her tracks due to the many pillows blocking her way. She then picked up a pillow at her feet and began attacking indiscriminately in all directions.

As the pillows were returned to the others, a new round of pillow fight began. Everyone was panting, but no one complained of being tired.

Everyone had a satisfied look on their face.

There was no other way; this was their first time playing this kind of multiplayer free-for-all.

It has to be said that it's really interesting.

Everyone is not only an opponent but also a teammate. One second they are at odds, the next they are attacking each other together, and the next second they are enemies again.

This varied and dynamic exchange of moves gave them a great sense of satisfaction.

Another half hour passed.

The girls lay side by side on the bed, panting heavily, and looked at each other with innocent smiles.

"I'm so happy!"

"Let's have another pillow fight next time. I feel like a god of war in bed, invincible wherever I go."

"You got the most pillows on me, I really don't know how you have the nerve to say that."

"So what? I got hit by the most pillows, but I also hit the most people. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call me the MVP of this game."

"What MVP..."

The girls chatted casually, discussing the battle that had just taken place.

Suddenly, night fell, and someone turned off the lights. Exhausted, they closed their eyes, and soon soft snoring filled the room.

Chapter 396 Heading to China, a World-Class Stage

The next day, early morning.

After a night of pillow fights, the intense fatigue caused everyone to fall asleep in Alice Nakiri's room, waking up at six in the morning.

It wasn't the alarm clock that rang, but the enticing aroma that filled the air.

"Gululu."

Erina Nakiri slept on the outermost edge of the bed, just a step away from the door.

At this moment, she was only covered by a thin blanket. The strong fragrance made her stomach growl, and she opened her slightly bewildered eyes.

“So hungry…”

Touching her slightly rumbling belly, Erina Nakiri blushed a little.

Yesterday, because she was in such a hurry to have a pillow fight, she barely ate any hot pot before being dragged into the room, where she expended a lot of energy.

It's perfectly normal to feel hungry right now.

"It smells so good..."

Sniffing, Erina Nakiri muttered to herself before sitting up in bed.

Without much hesitation, she got out of bed barefoot and walked towards the door. Then she saw Bai Yuan and Mito Yumi, who had just brought out the xiaolongbao.

"You're up? The xiaolongbao are still a little hot from the pot. Go wash up before you eat."

Seeing Erina Nakiri's figure, Shiroyuki, who came out of the kitchen, gave a brief greeting and then went back into the kitchen, with Ikumi Mito busy beside him.

Having accumulated too much loneliness, Mito Ikumi fought alongside Hakugen until morning. Knowing that she wouldn't be able to sleep for long anyway, she got up to prepare breakfast.

Bai Yuan originally planned to come by himself, since he was their man, but Mito Ikumi didn't want him to do everything alone.

Although Bai Yuan wanted to let her sleep a little longer, seeing her sincere eyes, he finally agreed to her request for help, and the two of them have been busy ever since.

"Can I help you with anything?"
