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

"The highest score in this round of the flower card game."

"Erina Nakiri... zero points."

"The lowest score in this round of the card game."

"According to the rules, Genyu-kun will put another sticker on Nakiri-kun!"

Megumi Tadokoro looked at Erina Nakiri with sympathy.

Starting with the karuta game, Erina Nakiri was the player who lost the most in total throughout the game.

The rule set by Lu Xuanyu was that the loser would have a tissue stuck to their face.

You absolutely must not take it off until tonight's Hanafuda game is completely over.

If one is lost along the way, two more need to be added.

The current state of the battle.

Nakiri Erina, Hachijo!

Yoshino Yuuki, Shijo!

Mito Yumei, Sanjo!

Two Kobayashi Rinjin!

Hisako Shinoto, two!

Ryoko Sakaki, one!

Megumi Tadokoro, zero!

Lu Xuanyu, zero!

Momoko Akanekubo did not participate in the battle!

Wow, is that such an honor?

"Let's personally put another one on our God Tongue Miss, ahahaha!"

"Erina, your skills are terrible!"

"At first, I didn't know who said that..."

“‘I’m not going to play this boring game!’ ‘I know the rules perfectly, I just don’t want to play!’”

"'Hmph, since everyone insists I participate, I'll reluctantly play along!' 'This was just an accident, I won't lose 697 again!'"

"Oh, hahaha, so you've lost so many times in a row!"

Lu Xuanyu mocked Erina to the best of his ability.

Erina dared not retaliate and could only remain motionless.

I just accidentally dropped one on the ground because I was talking too much.

On the contrary, the rule enforcer Lu Xuanyu slapped two more labels on him.

"Hurry up and apply it, Lu Xuanyu. I don't want to hear your nonsense."

Use only water from the cup, not saliva!

"Lu Xuanyu! Lu Xuanyu, you!"

Erina Nakiri blushed with anger.

He could only watch helplessly as he stuck the "drool tissue" on his face.

shame!

What a shame!

I should have refused from the start!

Is her skill level... really that bad?

Even though she often wins when she and Hisako compete against each other.

However, Erina had no idea.

Every time Hisako sees Erina sulking after losing a karuta game, she will choose the right moment to secretly let her win.

Today at the scene, no one was trying to flatter her; they did whatever they wanted.

Erina's true skills were completely exposed.

“Look, Erina is so weak.”

Akane Momo, who was watching the game from the sidelines, couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"Senior Tao, how dare you say that to me!"

"You're clearly too scared to play, aren't you? You're afraid of losing, aren't you?"

Erina retorted, clearly annoyed.

That's too cunning. If Momo Akanekubo had participated, I might not have come in last.

"I only like watching others play; I don't like playing myself."

Akane Kubo Momo puffed out her lips, looking like she was the cutest person around.

Across from her, Yoshino Yuuki extended an invitation:

"Senior Tao, join us! You've been looking at the rules for so long, you must understand them now, right?"

Momoko Akane remained silent: "..."

Yoshino Yuuki scratched her head awkwardly: "Eh! I've been ignored again! Why does Momo-senpai only answer Nakiri-sama's questions?"

Lu Xuanyu said with a smile:

"Haha, she's an extremely slow-to-warm-up girl."

"I won't talk to a stranger without spending at least a month with them."

"When he first came to my house, it must have been the tenth or so before he said a single word to me."

A room full of young girls.

Each person has a unique personality and carries a special label.

"Let's continue!"

"I refuse to accept this! I must win!"

"At least put stickers on his face!"

Erina's competitive spirit kicked in, and she kept urging him to fight again.

Ever since I saw Erina's real body behind the door last night.

If I look at her a few more times today, the image of her from that time will appear in my mind.

It was as if Erina, sitting on a carpet, was wearing the Emperor's New Clothes, which made Lu Xuanyu extremely restless.

Judging by tonight's pace, we'll be playing until at least one or two in the morning.

Kobayashi Rindou didn't drink tonight either, and his activities are unpredictable.

So, my promise to Sister Peach tonight... can't just fall through like this!

While playing the card game, Lu Xuanyu had already formulated a plan in his mind.

Wow, there are quite a lot of audience members here today.

"If you want me to lose, wait until the second half."

"It's already 10 o'clock. I'm in a great mood today, so I'm going to prepare a late-night snack for everyone."

"I looked at the ingredients in the kitchen, and it just so happens that I can make the Nine Vegetable French Jelly that I made in class during the day!"

"Would you all be willing to do me the honor of trying some later?"

Lu Xuanyu found an excuse to temporarily withdraw from the battle.

Upon hearing about the nine-vegetable French jelly from the class during the day...

Tadokoro Megumi, Mito Ikumi, and Sakaki Ryoko stood up immediately!

"Xuan Yu-kun, are you really going to make it again? That dish from earlier today that surpassed Shinomiya-senpai's recipe?"

"That's fantastic! The three of us were so disappointed all day because we didn't get to eat your Nine Vegetable French Jelly. Long live Lord Xuan Yu!"

"Wow! What a wonderful night! Xuan Yu, you've worked so hard! I'm your biggest supporter! I wish I had brought my rice juice!"

Kobayashi Rindou raises his juice glass high!

"My adorable little brother is so well-behaved today! He's really good, I can have a taste too!"

"Let's open a bottle of moderately strong Louis later, and enjoy some delicious food and a drink together! Hooray!"

When it comes to eating delicious food and drinking fine wine, Kobayashi Rindou is more enthusiastic than anyone else.

Erina Nakiri did not respond as enthusiastically as everyone else.

But her inner expectations far surpass those of any other young girl!
