Food Wars: Starting with Equipping the Greedy Wolf Pot

Oh, how scary!

Why is Momoko Akane looking at me with such a terrifying gaze? Is it because my cooking is so awful?

"No wonder Kobayashi thinks so highly of you, Megumin-chan." Just as Tadokoro Megumin was nervously at a loss, Momo Akane's voice suddenly rang out.

Huihui sauce? What is this?

Why would Momoko Akane suddenly call me that? Is it some kind of warning?

"Hehehe~ Peach Jam, you now acknowledge my little Megumi too." Kobayashi Ryudou, who had just finished his second bowl of Tadokoro Megumi dumplings, laughed heartily.

"Huihui-chan is still a long way off!"

“Not cute, right, Butch?” Momoko Akane lifted the teddy bear in her arms.

Momo Akanekubo has a habit of calling others by cute nicknames, but this habit is not a sign of friendliness; rather, it stems from her arrogant meanness.

Momo Akanekubo usually only uses this nickname for people whose cooking skills are inferior to hers.

Of course, Momo Akane's nickname is not entirely a sign of disrespect.

For example, Momo Akanekubo also uses a nickname for Ryudou Kobayashi, and some people don't even have the right to be called by such a nickname by Momo Akanekubo.

"Xiao Hui, don't be nervous."

"Don't let Momoko's appearance fool you, she actually approves of your cooking." Kobayashi Ryudou hugged Tadokoro Megumi and rubbed his face against hers.

Do you approve of my cooking?

So, my cooking can actually get the approval of a senior like Akane Kubo? Tadokoro Megumi's eyes widened in surprise.

Chapter 86 The Battle After the Dumpling Festival

For Megumi Tadokoro, the recognition from Momo Akane was more exciting than that from Kouji or Satoshi Isshiki.

But it wasn't because Momoko Akane's cooking skills were better than Xiang Ji's or Satoshi Isshiki's; it was because Momoko Akane wasn't a member of the Polar Star Dormitory.

When faced with praise from Xiang Ji, Isshiki Satoshi, or even Kobayashi Ryudou, Tadokoro Megumi couldn't help but let her mind wander.

For example, did the senior members of the Xiang family praise her because she was also from the Polaris Dormitory?

"Yes, yes, yes, Xiaohui, you will definitely become a very good chef in the future."

"Hehe, really?" Upon hearing Yoshino Yuuki and the others' praise, Tadokoro Megumi immediately became very shy.

"Xiang Ji Jun, the small amount of Flame Dumplings and Phoenix Jade Dumplings you made is simply not enough to eat."

“I’m not full yet.” Kobayashi Ryudou said to Wadako, then stared at Xiang Ji.

Xiang Ji: "..."

Not to mention that he made ten servings of both kinds of dumplings, Kobayashi Ryudou had already eaten four bowls of dumplings at Tadokoro Megumi's place.

How can you still eat like this?

But never mind.

Since Kobayashi Rindou and the others want to eat it, I might as well make some more; after all, it's just practice for me.

……

"No problem, you can wait for me for fifteen minutes." After saying that, Xiang Ji walked back to his cooking station.

"Oh, is Senior Xiang Ji making Flame Dumplings and Phoenix Jade Dumplings again?"

"That's fantastic."

"I'm definitely going to eat my fill later."

……

When Xiang Ji started cooking again, Kobayashi Rindou and the others devoured the other dumplings like gluttons.

The name "God's Stomach" is well-deserved.

Kobayashi Rindou can eat ten dumplings in one go; his eating speed is like a raging hurricane.

Even without Tsukasa Eishi and the others' help, Kobayashi Ryudou could probably handle all the dumplings on his own without much trouble.

"Great, that's amazing."

"How can Senior Xiang Ji cook so fast? The dumpling wrappers are practically flying like dragonflies." Tadokoro Megumi and the others looked at Xiang Ji's cooking with utter astonishment.

Since everyone was busy cooking their own dumplings, Kurokiba Ryo and the others didn't have much time to watch Xiang Ji's cooking process.

Now, Kurokiba Ryo and the others truly realized how terrifying Xiang Ji's cooking process was.

With a flick of the spoon and a pinch of his five fingers, Xiang Ji had wrapped a phoenix jade dumpling, filling a whole bowl in the blink of an eye.

……

"Hoo hoo hoo~ I'm full, I'm full."

"Now we should go back and get some rest," said Kobayashi Ryudou, who had finished his meal.

"I'm going back now, Kobayashi, Megumi-chan." Momo Akane said goodbye to Ryudou Kobayashi expressionlessly, without forgetting Megumi Tadokoro.

"Please wait a moment, Akanekubo-senpai."

"We have another important battle coming up, Akanekubo-senpai, don't you want to participate?" Isshiki Satoshi suddenly asked seriously.

A major battle?

Isshiki Satoshi's serious expression immediately made Akanekubo Momo stop in her tracks.

“Boy, may I join your great battle?” Sachi’s eyes were fixed on Isshiki Satoshi.

"Of course, you're welcome."

After hearing that Sachi was going to participate in the great battle that Isshiki Satoshi had mentioned, Momo Akanekubo also decided to see what was going on.

……

Polaris Dormitory, Marui Zenji's room.

Momoko Akane looked speechlessly at Ryudou Kobayashi in front of her. "Kobayashi, is this the kind of silly party we have for an important battle?"

"That's right, this is it."

"Momo-chan, don't you think this party is interesting?" Kobayashi Ryudou laughed, resting his chin on his hand.

"Come on, let's join in too." Kobayashi Ryudou said, then forcibly pulled Akanekubo Momo into the group.

"Oh, Akanekubo-senpai is coming too?"

"I'll pour some for you, senior." Ryoko Sakaki immediately handed Momo Akane a barley juice after seeing her sullen expression.

And since it's a party, Satoshi Isshiki's costume performance is a must.

Hua Hua Hua~

Hua Hua Hua~

Racing swimsuit, crotch cover, and nude apron – a triple whammy!

……

"Oh, one more!"

"One more!" Led by Kobayashi Rindou, Akanekubo Momo quickly joined in, after all, Akanekubo Momo wasn't exactly a normal person either.

What's going on?

Why did Akanekubo-senpai also turn out like this?

Is there not a single normal person around me? Tadokoro Megumi looked at the rambling Xing Shuo Xing and felt completely out of place in the Polaris Dormitory.

But when she turned around and saw Sachi sitting quietly on a chair drinking juice, Megumi Tadokoro breathed a sigh of relief.

Waaaaah~

So there are still normal people here.

Sachi truly lives up to his reputation as a mature adult; even seeing Isshiki and the others acting so foolishly, he can still drink his beverage without changing his expression.

Megumi Tadokoro subconsciously walked towards Sachi's direction, and all the senior members of the company were pulled in.

"Girl, do you know where the boy's room is?" Sachi suddenly asked as Tadokoro Megumi approached.

"Eh, senior Xiang Ji?"

"Miss Sachi, why are you asking about Senior Xiang Ji's room? What's the purpose of this?" Tadokoro Megumi asked unconsciously.

"Is that even a question? Of course, it was a night raid."

A night raid? No!

Sachi is too mature for his age. Would I, as a person, listen to this kind of thing now?

Tadokoro Megumi's face instantly turned as red as a tomato, her eyes started darting around, and she looked like she was about to faint at any moment.

……

Early the next morning.

When Tadokoro Megumi entered the living room, her gaze kept drifting to Xiang Ji. The scene she had witnessed the previous night kept replaying in her mind.

"Xiao Hui, is there something wrong with me?"

"No, no," Tadokoro Megumi stammered.

"Then why do you keep staring at me, Xiao Hui?" Xiang Ji asked directly, getting straight to the point.

"Ah, I, I..." Tadokoro Megumi's expression instantly became tense, as if she was about to cry, not knowing how to explain to Xiang Ji.

Just then, Sachi and Momoko Akane walked in together.

"Peach Jam, did you sleep well last night?"

"No, why do I have to share a room with this guy?" Momoko Akane said with a pained expression.

There's no way.

"Rooms are limited. The room you had last night was specially made available for you by Xiang Jijun and Si." Kobayashi Ryudan replied confidently.

Ee eh eh?

So, Senior Xiang spent the night in Senior Si's room last night?

That's what I meant.

Haven't I been misunderstanding Xiang Ji all along?

"I'm sorry, Senior Xiang Ji, I must have misunderstood." Tadokoro Megumi suddenly shouted loudly at Xiang Ji.

The sudden apology completely bewildered Xiang Ji. What was going on? Why was Tadokoro Megumi apologizing to him all of a sudden?

……

Jade Phoenix Dumplings, with a picture of the dumpling skin shimmering.

Chapter 87 The Night Before the Accommodation Workshop

Cooking, sleeping, bean curd.

After the first Dumpling Competition at Polaris Dormitory, Xiang Ji led an extremely disciplined study life.

Before we knew it, it was already June.

……

“Mrs. Wenxu, there’s a letter from Xiang Ji and his men outside.” Saqi, dressed as a maid, walked in from outside the Polaris Dormitory carrying a stack of mail.

After experiencing Xiang Ji's cooking at the Dumpling Festival, Sachi stayed at Polaris Dormitory, working as an assistant administrator under Granny Wenxu.

Not only Sachi, but Momo Akanekubo also moved to Polaris Dormitory.

The number of students staying at Polaris Dormitory is increasing, which is one of the reasons why Grandma Wenxu is willing to let Saqi work at Polaris Dormitory.

Of course, the most important thing is that Sachi's military cooking is strong enough.

"The residential study is finally about to begin." Grandma Wenxu looked at the letter sent to Polaris Dormitory with a nostalgic expression on her face.
