After three years of dormancy, the Gourmet Tyrant was born.

"Do adults also fear big houses and the dark?"

"I'm really afraid of asking Hinako-senpai, or any other senpai to live with you, but I don't care."

"Hey! You can't bring a man home!"

"Our restaurant employees are prohibited from dating during the startup phase!"

Lu Xuanyu rambled on on the phone.

"Who would bring a man back!"

"What's there to be afraid of? I'm just surprised..."

After saying that, Fuyumi Mizuhara hurriedly hung up the phone.

……

At Nakiri's house.

Lu Xuanyu put his phone aside and looked at the three girls in front of him.

He encouraged them, saying:

"The final tasting of the competition dishes has come to a successful conclusion!"

"As long as I'm at the meeting tomorrow, I can maintain this level of confidence."

"I can guarantee that the three excellent chefs will definitely pass the preliminary rounds!"

Megumi Tadokoro, Ikumi Mito, and Hisako Shinomiya encouraged each other with touching glances.

Immediately afterwards, they all bowed to Lu Xuanyu in unison.

"Thank you for your guidance, Lord Xuanyu!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Lord Xuan Yu!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Master Xuanyu!"

Lu Xuanyu helped the three women up one by one, and said with a profound meaning:

"They're all...our own people!"

"If I don't guide you, am I supposed to guide others?"

"Get a good rest tonight, and we look forward to your good news tomorrow!"

"It looks like it's going to rain heavily tonight, so be careful not to catch a cold while you sleep!"

One sentence, spoken to three girls.

Every girl felt like they were being described!

The ultimate level of a scumbag is to gather all his girls together and secretly flirt with them in public.

"boom……"

"Boom..."

Lu Xuanyu had just finished speaking.

A muffled rumble of thunder followed.

"Erina, Hisako, you should get some rest."

"Don't forget the ingredients and cooking utensils you need to bring to the site tomorrow."

"Xiao Hui, Xiao Rou Mei, let's go back to Polaris Dormitory."

"If we wait until it rains, it won't be so easy to go back."

……

at the same time.

Inside Lu Xuanyu's luxurious villa.

The lights in several bedrooms and the living room were turned on.

"Boom!"

A bright flash of lightning streaked across the sky.

Immediately following, a deafening clap of thunder resounded.

On the bed in one of the bedrooms, Fuyumi Mizuhara's eyes twitched uneasily.

"Nothing should happen tonight, right?"

"Such a big house..."

"I hope there aren't any strange creatures..."

"The old legends are all false, right..."

"Where would there be any vampires? Where would there be any monsters..."

"It's all fake, it's all fake...again."

"As long as the lights are on, no one can hurt me!"

.......

125 Heavy rain caused a district-wide power outage; a senior student's late-night SOS! [Please subscribe!]

It's 11 p.m.

Inside the Polar Star Dormitory.

"Crash..."

"Crash..."

"Boom!"

The heavy rain has been pouring down for an hour.

Fortunately, Lu Xuanyu had anticipated this and returned to Polaris Dormitory with Tadokoro Megumi and Mito Ikumi.

Otherwise, we would really be trapped in the Nakiri residence...

Lu Xuanyu was naturally pleased with himself.

It's just tough on the two secretaries who have to participate in the selection competition tomorrow.

If something goes wrong a day early, it will inevitably affect their mental state.

With Azami Nakiri's divine assistance, Lu Xuanyu and Erina's relationship is rapidly warming up.

Aside from the last step, Lu Xuanyu basically did every possible daily interaction between the couple.

At first, Erina was in a state of half-hearted resistance and reluctance.

After repeating this several times, she gradually began to take it for granted.

They are all conveying a message of shifting from resistance to acceptance.

They're just one perfect opportunity away from scoring.

Therefore, there's no need to rush it in just one or two days.

Opportunities are something that can only be encountered by chance.

Forcing an opportunity to happen will only make the process less pleasant.

"Ring ring ring!"

"Ring ring ring!"

"..."

Lu Xuanyu was pondering whether he should immerse himself in the virtual kitchen tonight to hone his special abilities.

The phone rang.

Fuyumi-senpai?

It's so late, aren't you resting yet?

Lu Xuanyu frowned as he pondered.

Then, he answered the phone.

"Hey, Fuyumi-senpai."

"Could it be that the thunder was too loud and the timid person couldn't sleep?"

"Haha, didn't you bring any female friends over to keep you company?"

"You can treat this as your own home, no need to be polite with me!"

Lu Xuanyu had just uttered the joke.

The voice on the other end of the phone immediately made him realize that something was wrong.

"Boom!"
