"Akikubo-senpai, why did you step on me?"
Eizan Etsuya covered his foot, his face showing a pained expression.
Akikubo Momo ignored him, gently snorted, and walked away on her own.
"Who told you to offend Satou?"
Kuga Terunori patted his shoulder, somewhat gloatingly saying, "I think you should be worried. What are you going to do when Lin Longdan comes back?"
After hearing his words, Eizan Etsuya immediately became depressed. How was he to know that just saying a few more words would offend two women? Satou and Erina Nakiri were about to leave when Eishi Tsukasa suddenly called out to them.
"Satou, for the vacant Elite Ten seat, I plan to recommend you. With your strength, you'll definitely become an Elite Ten."
Eishi Tsukasa said with a smile.
"Ah, well, thank you."
Satou looked at him in surprise, not expecting him to actually want to recommend himself.
"Don't say that, Satou.
Seeing that Isshiki and Kuga disagree, and even you don't approve, I've actually been very uneasy inside."
Eishi Tsukasa clutched Satou's arm, looking delicate and saying weakly, "If Satou can also stand on my side, then I'll feel much more at ease. After all, in my heart, you've always been the most important person."
Satou looked at this guy speechlessly. Please, can you not use such misleading phrases? If you were a cute girl, it would be fine.
"Tsukasa-senpai, can you let go of his hand?"
Erina Nakiri hugged Satou's other arm, looking at him with some concern.
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Eishi Tsukasa said somewhat embarrassed, scratching the back of his head, "Actually, what I meant was the most important chef. Maybe I misunderstood Nakiri, I didn't mean to compete with you for Satou."
Erina Nakiri's face immediately flushed.
As soon as he walked out of the conference room, Satou received a task from the system.
"Host has received a new mission: Become a Far Moon Totsuki Ten Masters! Mission reward: One gourmet gift package. Mission time: Seven days."
"Become a Far Moon Totsuki Ten Masters?"
Satou muttered to himself.
"By the way, Satou, the Elite Ten selection will begin soon, you should participate! With your strength, there will definitely be no problem!"
Erina Nakiri suddenly said, "I plan to recommend you."
"Hmm, I do have that intention."
Satou nodded. If he became the third seat, he would be able to achieve a balance of power in the Elite Ten Council.
"Satou."
Isshiki Satoshi walked over, smiling and talking.
"Alright."
Satou nodded.
In the evening, Erina and he went to Polar Star Dormitory to play.
"I say, Satou, has the Head Chef really changed?"
Yuki Yoshino held today's campus newspaper, pointing to the headline news on it, asking with a look of disbelief.
The Elite Ten Council had just ended this afternoon, and the news of the new Head Chef's appointment was immediately announced to the public. The news department also published the news at the first opportunity.
"Yes, it is said that more than half of the Elite Ten agreed."
Ryoko Sakaki also looked worried.
"There's nothing we can do. I was also taken aback this afternoon. I didn't expect someone to be secretly working on the Elite Ten. Megishima's voluntary retirement must also have been manipulated by someone."
Isshiki Satoshi shrugged helplessly, "Kuga and I were both unaware beforehand. After the meeting, Kuga was also very angry."
"But this is too reckless!"
Yuki Yoshino exclaimed.
"Indeed, but there's no problem with the procedure, so there's nothing that can be done," Satou said indifferently from the side. Erina Nakiri sat next to him, her head bowed, looking a bit distracted.
"That's true. Surprising as it is, it has nothing to do with us ordinary students!"
Yuki Yoshino then happily said, "We just keep doing our own thing!"
"However, the Far Moon Head Chef has always been passed down through the Nakiri family for generations."
Ryoko Sakaki pinched her chin and said, "The new Head Chef seems to be Miss Erina's father."
"Ah! So Miss Erina has a father after all. I never heard about it before; I thought your parents had passed away long ago," Yukihira Soma said in surprise.
Erina Nakiri couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. What does he mean, "So I have a father after all"? Did I just pop out of a rock?
"We haven't heard about Miss Erina's parents either. Now that her father has returned to take over, Miss Erina must be very happy, right?" Tadokoro Megumi tilted her head and said with a smile.
However, Erina Nakiri looked sad, a hint of dimness flashing in her eyes.
"Hey, what's wrong with you two?"
Ryoko Sakaki looked at Satou and Erina Nakiri strangely, feeling that they were both a bit distracted today.
"Ah! I also heard Isshiki Senpai say that at the meeting, Miss Erina and Satou both seemed to object, right?"
Yuki Yoshino also exclaimed, "Did something happen with your family?"
"Erina's father and I are a bit at odds. As soon as he took office this afternoon, he sent people to monitor near the mansion, although they only dared to stay beyond a hundred meters," Satou coughed lightly and said.
"Could it be…" Yuki Yoshino's eyes flashed with shock, and she blurted out, "I know! It must be that Miss Erina's father doesn't approve of your marriage, and you want to rebel, right?"
"Oh! Is that how it is? So Miss Erina is cohabiting with a man without permission, and her father found out and is afraid you'll elope, so he sent people to monitor you. Is that it?" Ryoko Sakaki covered her mouth and asked in surprise.
"No way! Are you two really planning to elope?" Yuki Yoshino looked shocked.
Satou rolled his eyes speechlessly at the two of them. Have you watched too many melodramatic romance dramas? "Actually, it's not like that."
He coughed lightly and said.
"Hmm… Actually, I once saw some information. That man, he should have been expelled from the Nakiri family and stripped of his Nakiri family status ten years ago, right?" Isshiki Satoshi narrowed his eyes. "If you don't mind, could you tell us the details?"
Satou glanced at Erina Nakiri. She hesitated for a moment, then gently nodded. This afternoon, she had already told Satou everything her father had done to her.
"Actually, it's like this…" Satou recounted what Azami Nakiri had done to her. "Therefore, he was expelled from the Nakiri family."
After hearing his words, everyone was moved.
"Wuwuwu, Miss Erina, you are so pitiful! What kind of father is that?!" Yuki Yoshino cried, "Satou, you two hurry up and have a child to get back at him."
