"How could this be?"
Nakano Nino widened her beautiful eyes, somewhat disbelieving that this person's cooking skills truly surpassed hers by so much.
She had always been very confident in her own cooking!
"You can try it yourself."
Satou smiled slightly and said.
"I'll try it, then."
Nakano Nino muttered, then picked up a spoon and took a bite.
The sweetness of the pumpkin perfectly blended with the rice, making it sweet and soft, and the chicken was also well-prepared, chewy and flavorful.
It was her first time tasting such a delicious dish.
She couldn't help but close her eyes, caressing her flushed cheeks, and let out a satisfied hum from her nose.
Opening her eyes, Nakano Nino saw Satou smiling and looking at her, which made her feel a surge of annoyance. She puffed out her cheeks and haughtily turned her head away.
Although she was full of reluctance, she had to admit that this guy's cooking skills were truly far superior to hers.
"Satou, I didn't expect your cooking to be so delicious!"
Nakano Yotsuba leaned over, her face full of adoration.
"Exactly, exactly. If you were my boyfriend, I could eat such delicious food every day."
Nakano Ichika said indistinctly while eating.
"I'll dig in."
Nakano Itsuki put her hands together, then, with a beaming smile, scooped up a large spoonful of rice and put it into her mouth, a look of pure happiness on her face.
Clearly, she had no resistance to delicious food.
"Ah, Itsuki, you're eating too much! Leave some for me."
Nakano Yotsuba turned her head and saw that half of it was already eaten, so she quickly said.
"I'm not eating that much."
Nakano Itsuki's mouth was full of food, her cheeks puffed out like a bun, as she said indistinctly.
She thought to herself, she never expected this annoying guy to make something so delicious.
When she ate, she looked very cute. Satou couldn't help but watch for a while, then subconsciously glanced at her abdomen, wondering if it was really possible to pinch out a meat bun.
Coincidentally, Nakano Itsuki also looked up and noticed Satou's gaze. She immediately felt a burst of annoyance, threw down her spoon directly, and said angrily, "I'm not eating anymore!"
"Really? Then we won't be polite, okay?"
Nakano Ichika chuckled. This way, there would be one less person, and she could eat more.
Nakano Itsuki hesitated for a moment, looking reluctantly at the remaining pumpkin chicken rice. Smelling its rich aroma, her mouth began to water.
But thinking of Satou's gaze just now, she felt another surge of shame and annoyance, let out a soft hmph, and said haughtily, "I said I'm not eating anymore!"
Although she said that, her eyes still occasionally stole glances, and she quietly swallowed her saliva.
Seeing her uncooperative demeanor, Satou secretly found it amusing and said, "Hmm, if you want to eat, just eat more."
Nakano Itsuki thought he was mocking her for eating too much, so she puffed out her bun-like cheeks, glared at him angrily, and said, "I said I'm not eating anymore!"
Satou shrugged helplessly.
At this moment, he noticed a girl with headphones around her neck, standing silently behind them. Her name seemed to be Nakano Miku.
"Don't you want to try it?"
He couldn't help but ask, feeling that this girl was a little different from her sisters.
"I don't want to try anything made by the ill-intentioned Satou."
She replied calmly.
As far as he could recall, it seemed like this was the first time Satou had heard her speak.
Her voice was very flat, unlike Nakano Yotsuba's lively and somewhat clueless tone, and completely different from Nakano Nino's typical tsundere young lady tone. It had a naturally innocent quality to it, and the more you listened, the cuter it became.
However, listening to her words, Satou was a little speechless. What did she mean by 'ill-intentioned'? Where did she get that conclusion?
"Miku, if you don't eat, we'll eat it all up, you know."
Nakano Ichika looked up and glanced at her.
Nakano Miku hesitated for a while, seemingly feeling that she was being too unsociable, and said, "Then I'll try it."
Then, she walked over, picked up a spoon, and took a bite.
After chewing a couple of times, suddenly, her eyes widened, and a blush, at a visible speed, crept up her cheeks. Even her phone, which had fallen to the ground, went unnoticed.
She caressed her cheek, turned her head, and said in her unique, naturally innocent tone, "So, so delicious."
However, even at this moment, there was no emotional fluctuation in her tone, so it was hard to tell if she truly found it delicious.
Looking at this girl, Satou was a little speechless, then he crouched down to help her pick up her phone.
A trace of panic suddenly flashed in Nakano Miku's eyes, and she quickly squatted down first, picking up her own phone.
Satou was a little puzzled. Could it be that her phone hid some incredible secret?
However, with a quick glance just now, he saw that the phone screen seemed to display things like 'Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain' and 'Takeda Shingen'.
"Did you see it?"
Nakano Miku, still squatting on the ground, suddenly turned her head, her face instantly turned gloomy, and her eyes became terrifying, staring intently at him.
"Uh, yes."
Satou was startled by her terrifying expression and subconsciously nodded, saying, "Your hobbies are really unique."
Usually, girls of this age have pictures of cute pets, or beautiful celebrities, or anime characters on their screens. It's really rare to see ancient military commanders as a screen background.
Nakano Miku stared at him as she stood up, putting her phone into her pocket.
Just as Satou was wondering, she suddenly covered her face with both hands. Even through her hands, Satou could see that her cheeks were frighteningly red.
"Don't tell anyone else."
She said in her naturally innocent tone.
"Uh, okay."
Satou completely didn't understand what was going on with this girl, but he still nodded.
"That's great."
Nakano Miku breathed a sigh of relief, and her gaze towards Satou seemed to have changed slightly.
Satou was utterly bewildered, completely unaware of what had happened.
This girl's personality was truly peculiar.
"I think the result of the cooking battle is already clear, isn't it? My boyfriend won, didn't he?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha walked over, hooking Satou's arm, and said with a smile, a wild sense of revenge flashing in her wine-red pupils.
Satou looked at the senior by his side, feeling quite speechless. It seemed it would be better not to provoke her in the future.
