"But, I still have many documents to review tonight."
Erina Nakiri, blushing, declined somewhat shyly, "Even Alice invited me to the celebration, and I refused her."
"Let's go, everyone is also looking forward to seeing you."
Satou walked over and naturally took her hand, saying.
Erina Nakiri's face immediately flushed with shyness, but she didn't pull her hand away.
After so many days of physical intimacy, their relationship had become even closer.
"Since that's the case, let's hold the celebration here. We can just call Alice and Hisako over too, to celebrate them entering the top eight. Oh, and Mito as well."
Although she still had many documents to deal with today, Erina Nakiri still agreed to Satou's request.
"What, Erina, you're too much! When I asked you, you didn't agree, but when Satou asked you, you did!"
As soon as she arrived, Alice Nakiri puffed out her cheeks, saying angrily, "As expected, a girl grown up can't be kept at home!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Erina Nakiri's cheeks were flushed with embarrassment, and she looked down at the floor, saying very shyly.
"Alright, alright, here's a glass of milk for you to cool down."
Satou smiled slightly and poured her a glass of milk.
"As expected, Satou is still the best."
Alice Nakiri drank a glass of milk, a satisfied expression on her face, then patted Satou's shoulder and said, "Then I'll leave Erina to you from now on. You must treat her well, got it?"
"Alice!"
Erina Nakiri cried out, both shy and annoyed.
At this moment, a knock sounded at the door. Satou walked over to open it, and Tadokoro Megumi's cute face appeared behind the door.
"Satou, everyone is here."
Tadokoro Megumi smiled sweetly as soon as she saw Satou.
Tonight, Tadokoro Megumi wasn't wearing the Far Moon uniform, but rather a white dress, paired with her blue hair, looking exceptionally fresh and serene, which made Satou's eyes light up.
Behind her were the members of Polar Star Dormitory. In addition, the Takumi brothers also came, probably invited by Yukihira Soma.
"Then, excuse our intrusion."
Everyone walked in together, smiling.
"At least it's not in my room this time."
Marui Zenji sighed in relief.
"Wow, it's so spacious and luxurious! A party is definitely the best!"
Yuki Yoshino said happily, "Then let's have a blast tonight!"
Among them, Takumi, Marui Zenji, and others were visiting Erina Nakiri's mansion for the first time, and they were also amazed. The living conditions were indeed much superior to those of regular students.
"Welcome, everyone."
Erina Nakiri bowed like a hostess. She was wearing a plain dress, which made her lose a bit of the noble and youthful aura she had at school, but gained more of a domestic elegance and serenity.
"Then, excuse our intrusion, Miss Nakiri."
Isshiki Satoshi smiled slightly.
"No such thing. I've also intruded at Polar Star Dormitory."
Erina Nakiri smiled and said.
"It was indeed rumored that that guy and Miss Erina are a couple. Now it seems it's true."
Takumi thought to himself, looking at the intimate gestures between Satou and Erina Nakiri.
At this moment, Miltank, Chansey, and Combee ran over.
"Huh? What kind of creatures are these?"
Seeing these three small Pokémon, many people were startled; it was their first time seeing such strange creatures.
Soon after, Miyoko Hojo and Sadatsuka Nao also arrived. As members of the research society, Satou had invited them as well.
And there was also the uninvited Kobayashi Rindo.
However, Mimasaka Subaru didn't come; he was probably doing imaginary training for the top eight matches.
"Please help yourselves to these fruits."
Satou placed a large plate full of oddly shaped fruits in front of everyone and greeted them.
These were all fruits Tohru brought from her world, but besides the heart-shaped fruit from last time, no other fantasy ingredients had been found.
These fruits all looked peculiar, but their taste was exceptionally good, much tastier than the fruits of this world. Now, Satou and Erina Nakiri usually ate these fruits.
"What kind of fruit is this? I've never seen it before."
Kobayashi Rindo asked with great surprise. As an explorer who traveled all over the world, she had never seen these fruits!
Everyone took just one bite and immediately exclaimed in wonder.
"Wow, this fruit tastes so good! It's a bit like a mix of apple and pear."
Tadokoro Megumi stroked her cheek, exclaiming.
"Please eat more, everyone."
Erina Nakiri greeted them like a hostess.
"Erina, you're too much! You have so many delicious things and you never let me eat them!"
Alice Nakiri puffed out her cheeks, huffing angrily.
"If you like it, take some with you."
Satou said with a smile. Anyway, these were just ordinary fruits, and there were plenty more.
"Really?"
Alice Nakiri's eyes lit up, and she said, "Indeed, Erina, you should learn more from your boyfriend!"
"Who… who's my boyfriend?"
Erina Nakiri's face flushed, and she whispered.
"Tonight, everyone drinks until they drop!"
Kobayashi Rindo suddenly pulled out a few bottles of wine, revealing her two sharp fangs, and laughed.
"Eh? Is drinking okay?"
Erina Nakiri was immediately startled.
In Japan, minors are not allowed to drink alcohol.
"What does it matter?"
Yuki Yoshino licked her tongue and poured herself a large glass.
Afterward, everyone used Erina's kitchen to make many delicious dishes. They all ate the food and drank wine together, creating a very lively atmosphere.
Satou also drank a lot of wine and felt a bit warm, so he went to the second-floor balcony to get some fresh air. Unexpectedly, he saw Tadokoro Megumi there.
Megumi seemed to have drunk a lot as well, leaning against the railing with a flushed face. When she saw Satou approach, she smiled sweetly. The moonlight shone on her white dress, making her appear exceptionally delicate and lovely.
"Satou, thank you for everything since I enrolled," Megumi said, recalling all the help Satou had given her, and bowed deeply.
"It's nothing," Satou smiled, and then the two of them leaned against the railing together.
The moonlight and alcohol were excellent aphrodisiacs, and with them being alone, the atmosphere suddenly became different.
"Satou," Megumi said softly, her eyes a bit hazy.
After so many days of getting along, coupled with Megumi's cuteness and good nature, it was impossible not to like her.
Satou looked at her for a moment, then suddenly felt a stir in his heart. As if possessed, he leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
