Erina frowned and said, "Random disappearance... I think I heard something similar when I was a child, but I can't remember it very well."

Luo Yu glanced at the time and said, "Let's talk about the specifics as we go. I'd like to take the time to properly explore Totsuki Culinary Arts before we leave."

Erina nodded: "No problem, please follow me."

Next, Erina and Alice took Luo Yu and the other two on a tour of Totsuki Academy, while Hisako Shinoto and Ikumi Mito went to do the work that Erina had arranged.

After watching the two leave, Alice said enviously, "Erina's two subordinates are really outstanding. It looks like I'll have to find two more assistants."

As for Ryo Kurokiba, who was brought from Northern Europe, let him grow freely.

Compared to an assistant, the other person is a better match to be a rival on one's culinary journey.

Alice decided to go back to her grandfather and see who the talented people he had found were, and then pick two suitable ones from among them.

Since it was Wednesday afternoon, some students were still attending classes at Totsuki Academy.

Led by Erina, Luo Yu and his two companions also saw the Totsuki students who were taking a rigorous course from outside the classroom.

The teachers at Totsuki Culinary Academy are all highly qualified and skilled chefs, most of whom previously served as head chefs or chefs in renowned hotels and restaurants.

Luo Yu also saw a classroom where several students' dishes were given an E grade by a strict teacher, which was a failing grade.

After witnessing this, Yukino looked at Erina and whispered, "What happens if you get an E in class?"

Erina, with her arms crossed, replied, "The grades from every class are recorded. If low scores accumulate to a certain level, and you still fail the end-of-term assessment, or don't show any improvement or breakthrough, you will be expelled without any leeway. That's how Totsuki's education system works; they don't need chefs who lack talent and ambition."

Although her words were harsh, Yukino knew that Totsuki was such a place.

Every year, many students are admitted to this school, but by the time they graduate, less than half of them are able to graduate successfully.

1. But as long as they graduate smoothly, they will be extremely outstanding chefs, and the top batch of students in the school have the absolute ability to become world-class chefs.

Looking at the dejected students inside, Yukino sighed softly, "It's really tough, much tougher than for us ordinary students."

After touring the entire route and finally seeing the several magnificent research buildings under Erina's management, today's itinerary was almost complete.

1. Arriving at the gate of Totsuki Academy by car, Senzaemon Nakiri and Nurarihyon Nura were already waiting there.

Looking at Erina and Alice, Luo Yu said, "Let's wait a few days. I'll come over again on Saturday."

5. After saying goodbye to Senzaemon Nakiri, she took Lani and Yukino and got into the car, still driven by Takemi, and returned to Chiba.

5. Nurarihyon, on the other hand, boarded another vehicle and returned to the Nura Clan's main residence.

After seeing the guests off, Senzaemon Nakiri looked at his two granddaughters and said, "Erina, the next long period of time will be tough for you, especially with the upcoming residential training program. You need to be mentally prepared."

Erina nodded seriously: "I know, Grandpa, I'll try my best to control God Tongue as soon as possible."

Then, Senzaemon Nakiri looked at Alice, whose eyes were darting around as if she were thinking of some idea, and said, "Alice, you can learn magic, but you can't neglect your culinary training. I will test you regularly, and it will be even stricter than before."

Alice put her hands on her hips and confidently glanced at Erina beside her.

"no problem!"

On the way back, Luo Yu looked at Yukino, who hadn't said much, took her hand and said, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Yukino shook her head: "That's not true."

Then Lani on the other side said, "It's probably because someone else has joined that Yukino is feeling pressured."

Because of Alice?

Luo Yu blinked, looking at Yukino's slightly reddened ears that were visible when she turned her head away.

With a smile on his lips, Luo Yu pulled Yukino into his arms and gently stroked her hair, saying, "Don't feel pressured. I'm not the kind of person who favors one over the other. Besides, nothing happened between Alice and me. Instead of worrying about Alice, you should worry about your sister. She's going to the publishing house with me tomorrow. Even I don't know what she's planning to do tomorrow."

After Luo Yu said that, Yukino finally realized what was going on.

That's right. Compared to her sister, Alice doesn't need to worry much at all; that's a matter for the future.

Yukino glared at Luo Yu, who was standing right in front of her, and gently bumped her forehead against him.

"You'd better resist my sister's temptations, or you'll be in big trouble."

"Hahaha, you can rest assured about that. After all, you know Yukino, your sister has never been in a relationship before, and she's a pure theorist. Who knows, she might get shy on her own before I even have to react."

My sister is shy?

Yukino thought about it for a moment, and she really couldn't imagine what it would be like if the other party showed such a reaction.

Chapter 108 Going Home (1/2)

The car returned to Chiba without incident.

After getting out of the car, Luo Yu looked at Zhu Zhu Mei in the driver's seat and said, "Miss Zhu Zhu Mei, thank you for your hard work today."

Zhu Zhu Mei shook her head: "I'm sorry to have troubled you, General, to take care of me today. I'll head back now. I'll be staying in Chiba for a while. If you need anything, Mr. Luo Yu, you can find me at the bases we visited before."

"Okay, goodbye."

After watching the car leave, Luo Yu and Lani Yukino went into the house together.

As soon as she entered the house, Yukino picked up the cat that was sleeping on the sofa and happily petted it.

Luo Yu opened the refrigerator in the kitchen, looked at the ingredients inside, and said, "There aren't many ingredients left at home. Is there anything you'd like to eat tonight?"

While scratching the cat's chin, Yukino said, "Just make something simple, we ate a bit too much for lunch today."

Lani nodded casually, "I'm fine with anything. I've already had a lot of good food today, so I can eat less for dinner."

After taking out some ingredients and considering the options, Luo Yu said, "Okay, then let's just cook two simple dishes tonight."

Turning to look at Yukino, who was playing with the cat, Luo Yu said, "Yukino, how about we go out tonight and test our skills by defeating a couple of evil spirits?"

"tonight?"

Yukino hesitated for a moment, "I'm not that good at it yet."

Luo Yu walked over and sat down, gently patting Yukino's head. He said, "Don't worry, your skill level is already quite good. The evil spirits commonly seen outside aren't as strong as the ones I summon. They're not as powerful as those two ashes you've trained with. With a little caution, you can definitely eliminate them easily. So, want to go?"

Seeing that Luo Yu had said so, Yukino no longer hesitated and nodded in agreement: "Then let's give it a try."

Lani then looked at Luo Yu and asked, "So, should we bring Jianzi along too?"

"It's not very convenient for Zi to be at home, so let's do it one by one later."

It's not very realistic to let Miko go out so late at night, unless she releases sleep smoke with the Torina Sword, just like last time.

As for Yurikawa Hana, she can't even cast a basic spell quickly right now, so let's wait a bit longer.

After sitting on the first floor for a while, Lani pulled Yukino upstairs to play games together, while Luo Yu made a phone call to Yang Nai in Tokyo.

Yang Nai, who was packing her things after finishing a class, received a call from Luo Yu. She happily picked up her phone and said, "Luo Yu-kun, 64460 finally remembered to call me? Where are you guys now?"

Luo Yu said, "I'm already back in Chiba. What about you? Are you at school?"

"Yeah, I'm at school~~ I have to take required courses, so I really can't ask for leave." After putting her books into her bag, Yang Nai walked out of the classroom under the gossipy and curious gazes of several classmates around her.

"So, you've actually gone back to Chiba now? You haven't forgotten what you promised me for tomorrow, have you? I was actually thinking of having a candlelight dinner with you, Luo Yu-kun, tonight!"

"A candlelight dinner?" Luo Yu said with a smile, "I think you want to see Yukino's reaction when she finds out, right? There's no time today. I'm planning to take Yukino out tonight to eliminate two evil spirits and have some real combat experience. If you want to have dinner together, let's wait until tomorrow. You'll have your chance tomorrow."

"Sigh... alright then, we'll have to wait until tomorrow. You'd better come early."

"9:30 in the morning, is that about right?"

Yang Nai nodded in satisfaction: "Then it's settled. I'll wait for you to come over. Let's go upstairs and head to the publishing house first. How about we have lunch at the Mist House?"

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

After making the appointment with Luo Yu, Yang Nai was satisfied and ended the call with Luo Yu.

Just as I put my phone away, several girls from my class came over.

"Yang Nai, who were you talking to on the phone just now? This person was all smiles!"

"Could it be her boyfriend?"

Yang Nai said with a smile, "Not yet."

"Sigh... Not yet? Does that mean she's already your target? What does she look like? Do you have a picture? Let us see!"

As for the photos, Yang Nai certainly has them, but she wouldn't show them to anyone else.

"Not for now, let's talk about it after I've secured it!"

"Take a look!"

"Alright, stop asking. If you keep asking, I won't take you guys to the Fog House for dinner tonight!"

Faced with the delicious food, the girls finally stopped asking questions. Compared to that, the food at the Fog House was much more anticipated, as it was a rare treat, especially since it was prepared by the head chef himself.

Although Yang Nai didn't say it explicitly, judging from the other person's expression and what everyone knew about Yang Nai these past few days, Yang Nai wasn't the kind of person who would just randomly pursue any guy.

The person she has her eye on must be very outstanding.

This undoubtedly made the girls even more curious, and they looked forward to the opportunity to meet her in the future.

Nine p.m.

Because she had planned to go out and fight evil spirits, Yukino didn't go back to her apartment after dinner, but stayed with Luo Yu instead.

What I needed to do, naturally, was to diligently practice my magic and prepare myself before setting off.

Seeing Yukino holding the staff so earnestly, Luo Yu shook his head with a smile: "If you keep practicing like this, be careful you won't have enough magic power when we set off."

After unleashing a brilliant arc and striking a target precisely, Yukino put down her staff and said, "I've never fought an evil spirit before, so it's understandable that I'm nervous."

"There's nothing to worry about. I won't pick any powerful opponents for you from the start. It'll just be an ordinary evil spirit that stares at people and asks questions. And I'll be there to protect you."

Luo Yu put down the materials he was holding and extended his hand to Yukino.

"Come, give me your hand."

Taking Yukino's outstretched hand and checking her condition, Luo Yu took out the Blue Drop Holy Grail Bottle, which he hadn't used before, and handed it to Yukino.

"Take a couple of sips to replenish your magic."

Looking at the blue bottle, Yukino took a sniff and could feel the special magic emanating from it, almost overflowing.

"Why haven't I seen you take this out before?"

"That's because you've been training at home before, so there's no need for that. Letting your magic recover naturally will also help you adapt to the process better. As for now, you're going out soon, so there's no need for a slow recovery. Drink it first."

"Just how many more good things are you hiding?"

After asking a question, Yukino picked up the Holy Grail bottle and gulped down two mouthfuls. She immediately found that her magic power was fully replenished and she was completely restored to her original state.

After putting away the Holy Grail, Luo Yu said with a hint of pride, "I have a lot of good things in my collection. You'll discover them gradually in the future."

Chapter 109 Yukino's First Real Battle (2/2)

If we're talking about good stuff, Luo Yu certainly has quite a few, from magic staves for mages to various amulets and weapons—he has it all.

Even after traveling all over the borderlands and the Shadowlands, Luo Yu collected a huge amount of various materials and was able to use the various skills he learned to make all kinds of props, which Luo Yu has not yet used.

However, there's no need to take out most of the items; at most, we'll make some small props for Yukino and the others to use for self-defense.

At 11 o'clock, Luo Yu and Yukino came out of the round table hall and returned home. They called Lani, who had been playing games upstairs, and the three of them went out together.

Under the cover of night, Luo Yu looked around, then took out his Spirit Horse Whistle and summoned Toret.

Looking at the enormous spirit horse with a pair of horns on its head, Yukino said curiously, "What an amazing horse, it actually has a pair of horns."

Gently patting Torret's neck, Luo Yu said with a smile, "After all, it's a spirit horse, isn't it? Alright, Yukino, you and Lani go up."

Lani immediately mounted her horse, pulled Yukino up with her, and then looked at Luo Yu and said, "Your Majesty, aren't you coming up? With Torret's reminder, it's perfectly feasible to carry three people."

Luo Yu shook his head, looking at Toret's resentful expression, and said with a smile, "This guy doesn't look like he'd be willing to carry three people. You guys can ride them. Let's go, let's go find the evil spirit."

After casting an invisibility spell on the three people and the horse, Luo Yu took Torret's reins and, with Lani and Yukino, began searching for their target under the cover of night.

While we were at it, we also took out some carrots and fed Toret, who hadn't been out for a while.

Watching Toret eat carrots bite by bite, Yukino asked, "This spirit horse, was it given to you by Melina, Yu-kun? Can it eat too?"

Luo Yu nodded: "That's right. Although Toret is a spirit horse that can transform into a spirit and reside in the whistle, it is still a living being. Besides feeding it with my magic, food is also fine. Eat slowly, I have plenty more here!"

Seeing Toret eat three carrots in a row, Yukino narrowed her eyes.

Although its appearance is somewhat unusual, this spirited horse is quite interesting.

After walking for a while, Luo Yu sensed a presence ahead and pulled on the reins to stop.

"Found it, the first target."

After turning right at the next intersection, Yukino saw her next opponent.
