"You're still as annoying as ever!"
Leonora Nakiri placed her hands on her hips and spoke rapidly, "Do you think we don't know about how you bullied Erina-chan before? Erina-chan will absolutely not be handed over to you again."
"Are you, the one who was kicked out, coming back to do bad things again?"
"We have already agreed to the two children's marriage; from now on, Satou is... family, and it has nothing to do with an outsider like you!"
Her Japanese was still terribly broken, but her speaking speed was incredibly fast, she blurted it all out in one breath, leaving Azami Nakiri speechless and unable to respond.
Satou, witnessing his Mother-in-law's verbal combat skills for the first time, was utterly dumbfounded.
If she really became his Mother-in-law in the future, just thinking about it gave him a headache.
"Haha, Mom still speaks the same as before."
Alice Nakiri said with a smile.
Satou couldn't help but glance at her, somewhat worried if Alice would also become like this in the future.
If that happened, when they argued, Satou wouldn't be able to win against her!
"You no longer have the right to question Erina's matters, and Far Moon's matters are also none of your concern. Leave now."
Senzaemon Nakiri said with a cold gaze, his hands tucked into his sleeves.
Azami Nakiri was silent for a moment, then took out an envelope.
"The Elite Ten Council, they are given power equivalent to, or even greater than, the Yuanyue Supreme Commander, which means that the will of more than half of the Elite Ten is... the will of the entire Far Moon."
"This... this is..."
Senzaemon Nakiri's pupils constricted as he looked at the paper in his hand.
"That's right, this is a proposal submitted to the Elite Ten Council regarding the appointment of a new Head Chef."
Azami Nakiri smiled calmly.
"But it seems only five of the Elite Ten support this proposal. If it's brought up at the Elite Ten Council, it might not pass."
Leonora Nakiri leaned over to take a look and said.
"Nakamura, what do you mean by this?"
Senzaemon Nakiri looked at him coldly.
The decision to appoint a new Head Chef requires the consent of more than half of the Elite Ten; currently, there are only five, so the proposal will not take effect.
"No, that's not right."
Erina Nakiri suddenly frowned, her face a little pale, and said, "This morning, the Third Seat, Nagi-no-ki Touko, submitted an application to withdraw from the Elite Ten, and it has already taken effect."
"Which means..."
"That's right, the Elite Ten Council now only has nine members, not ten."
"This way, it's... a majority."
Azami Nakiri chuckled softly and said.
"Nagi-no-ki Touko voluntarily withdrew from the Elite Ten?"
Satou frowned.
The authority of the Elite Ten means vast resources; no one would voluntarily withdraw.
However, Nagi-no-ki Touko is a person who is relatively indifferent to fame and fortune. If he wanted to make money, countless gourmet organizations would extend olive branches, but he chose to push a ramen cart, selling along the street, and helping ramen shops in distress.
Moreover, although he was an Elite Ten, he disliked Shokugeki. When he first came to Far Moon, many people challenged him to Shokugeki. Out of helplessness, he simply went through Shokugeki after Shokugeki until he became the Third Seat.
"I was wondering at the time why Megishima-senpai would make such a request. I even thought it was because he was about to graduate and wanted to get out quickly."
"So that's how it is."
Erina Nakiri murmured to herself.
"So you were looking at Megishima-senpai's documents at that time?"
Satou said in surprise, no wonder she was so serious about it then.
Hearing Satou mention this, Erina Nakiri's face inexplicably flushed.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have used ramen shops to threaten Megishima-senpai, right?"
Satou looked at Azami Nakiri and said faintly.
"The young master of national ramen shops, that's a resource, but also a burden."
Azami Nakiri smiled, not denying it, then looked at his watch and said with a smile, "It's almost time for the Elite Ten Council to convene, isn't it?"
Sure enough, Erina Nakiri's phone rang, notifying her to attend the Elite Ten Council.
She subconsciously looked at Satou, who thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you."
"Mm."
Erina Nakiri nodded, then looked at Leonora Nakiri and Senzaemon Nakiri, "This Elite Ten Council will likely discuss this proposal. I will do my best to ensure it doesn't pass."
Subsequently, Satou and Erina Nakiri arrived at the Elite Ten meeting room. Everyone else had already arrived. Of course, because Kobayashi Rindo was still abroad, she participated in the meeting via video.
Seeing Satou also walk in, everyone was stunned for a moment, but they didn't stop him.
"So, the first matter is... Megishima-senpai's application to withdraw from the Elite Ten. Although there were objections, it has been officially approved."
Nene Kinokuni said first, seeing that everyone had arrived.
"What a pity."
Megishima, can't you reconsider? Although you're graduating soon, isn't there still some time?
Eishi Tsukasa said somewhat weakly, trying to persuade Nagi-no-ki Touko to give up her decision.
"I've already made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me, Tsukasa."
Nagi-no-ki Touko said with a calm expression.
"What? Megishima, you've withdrawn from the Elite Ten? Why didn't you tell me!"
Kobayashi Rindo in the video immediately.
She cried out, "Why, why, why?"
Everyone had a headache listening to the extremely noisy Kobayashi Rindo.
Nene Kinokuni adjusted her glasses and said, "I apologize, Lin Longdan, because we had already gathered enough consent in advance, we weren't able to inform you before this."
"And now, for the second matter."
Eizan Etsuya looked at the documents on the table, crossing his legs, and said indifferently, "The vacant seat needs to be filled as soon as possible."
"According to custom, the Elite Ten and the Head Chef will scout for Elite Ten substitutes, then engage in Shokugeki with each other, and the seat will be decided based on the results."
Nene Kinokuni said, "So, please submit your recommended lists as soon as possible."
"And then, there's... the last matter."
Eishi Tsukasa said, "It's... the proposal for the new Head Chef. Those who haven't seen it can take a look first."
"Huh? A new Head Chef? Isn't the current Head Chef doing just fine? Why elect a new Head Chef?"
Kuga Terunori was stunned for a moment and asked.
