However, since things had already reached this point, Satou naturally couldn't let her escape again. Without another word, he directly picked up Alice Nakiri.
"Let go of me, I need to prepare myself mentally."
"Satou! Don't go too far!"
"Boo hoo hoo, you big meanie, I'm going to tell Erina, boo hoo hoo."
Satou: "..."
Why are these two sisters so similar?
The next day, Satou woke up very early, because many people were still sleeping downstairs, and if he woke up late, something bad might happen.
He looked up at Alice Nakiri, who had her face pressed against his chest, curled up like a kitten, sleeping contentedly. Remembering what happened yesterday, he couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
Yesterday, Alice Nakiri suddenly got cold feet at the last minute and wanted to escape, but Satou caught her.
At first, she resisted fiercely, but after a while, she gradually became more proactive.
"Alice, it's time to get up."
Satou gently pushed Alice Nakiri, whispering.
Because Erina Nakiri and Kobayashi Rindo were still sleeping in the guest rooms downstairs.
"Hmm? Where is this?"
Alice Nakiri opened her eyes in a daze, then saw that she was lying with Satou, and he was holding her in his arms.
Alice Nakiri blinked, somewhat bewildered, and said, "Huh, am I dreaming? Am I dreaming about what happened last time again?"
Satou was a bit speechless. He pinched her and said, "This isn't a dream. See if it hurts a little?"
Alice Nakiri was startled again, then a blush crept onto her cheeks. She shrieked, jumped out of Satou's arms, and, covering herself with the sheet, hopped onto the floor, pointing at Satou and crying out in shame and anger: "You...you bad guy! You actually took advantage of me while I was asleep and did something outrageous again! You're too shameless!"
Satou was instantly speechless. Did she not remember anything?
Or was it that this guy was just acting drunk last night?
Satou immediately got a headache and said helplessly, "Yesterday, you were the one who was proactive, okay?"
"Nonsense! How could I possibly be proactive and do such an embarrassing thing with you!"
Alice Nakiri's cheeks were flushed with shame as she retorted angrily.
"You really don't remember what happened yesterday?"
Satou couldn't help but ask.
"What happened yesterday..."
At that, Alice Nakiri actually remembered, and her cheeks immediately flushed with shame. Her demeanor instantly weakened, and she lowered her head, saying softly and awkwardly, "I got drunk last night and said some strange things."
Remembering her drunken antics yesterday and all the embarrassing things she said, Alice Nakiri immediately felt like burying herself.
Satou was instantly speechless. Sure enough, this guy was acting drunk last night.
"If you regret it, then forget it."
Satou said, he wouldn't force anyone.
Alice Nakiri bit her lip, then suddenly gathered her courage and exclaimed, "No! Everything I said yesterday was true."
"Anyway, I've decided to snatch Erina's boyfriend!"
She hummed twice, a smug expression on her face.
Satou was again speechless. This sister-in-law's personality was truly adorable.
"Alright. Let's get up quickly, everyone else will be waking up soon."
Satou said.
Alice Nakiri was startled, then quickly began to get dressed.
When the two of them were dressed and went downstairs, some of the people sleeping in the living room had already started to wake up.
Satou made a hearty breakfast and invited everyone to eat together.
During breakfast, Alice Nakiri was in a very good mood, humming a little tune the whole time.
This made Erina Nakiri feel a bit strange. She felt that the smug expression on Alice Nakiri's face was very similar to when she secretly wore her favorite dress when they were little.
The next day, the other two matches of the Autumn Election quarterfinals also officially concluded, with Hayama Akira and Mimasaka Subaru emerging as the victors.
This meant that in the semifinals, Tadokoro Megumi's opponent would likely be Hayama Akira.
Although Satou really wanted to help Tadokoro Megumi, he also knew that it would be very difficult for her to defeat her opponent in a short amount of time, even if he told her the theme.
Hayama Akira possessed a talent similar to Erina Nakiri's God Tongue, the God's Nose. Among the first-years, he was second only to Erina Nakiri; even Yukihira Soma was temporarily not his match.
Therefore, Satou could only give her a little of the Frozen Wild Buffalo steak and have her practice Western cuisine.
His relationship with Alice Nakiri had also developed well these past few days. Although the two of them couldn't reveal their relationship, they exchanged many text messages and calls every day.
Unlike the Tsundere's Tsundere nature, Alice Nakiri's personality was cheerful and interesting, very likable, and Satou gradually grew fond of her.
In the following days, Satou also followed Erina Nakiri's advice and began to represent her in some taste-testing work.
Firstly, this could help Erina Nakiri share the burden, and secondly, he could experience the cuisine of many high-end restaurants, which was also very helpful to him.
In his taste-testing work, Satou received praise from many restaurants, and his reputation gradually began to spread within the high-end restaurant circle.
On this day, Satou went to a restaurant for taste-testing as usual.
However, when he arrived at the restaurant, he was immediately stunned.
Because the restaurant's name was Kitajo Restaurant.
If he remembered correctly, Miyoko Hojo originated from here.
"Hisako probably forgot to tell me?"
Satou said, then stepped out of the special car Erina Nakiri had prepared for him.
Kitajo Restaurant was located on Chinatown in Hojo. Although Hojo was in Kanagawa Prefecture, Kanagawa Prefecture was right next to Tokyo, and one could reach Hojo Chinatown directly by subway in an hour from Tokyo.
This time, Satou only spent a little over an hour traveling by car.
The Kitajo Restaurant, which was usually bustling with business, currently had no customers. All the chefs stood respectfully in the restaurant, waiting.
When they saw that the person who walked into the restaurant was not the God Tongue from Far Moon, but an unfamiliar young man wearing a Far Moon school uniform, they were immediately startled.
"You are?"
A middle-aged man in a chef's uniform asked curiously.
"Huh? Satou, why is it you? Where is Miss Erina?"
A surprised voice rang out. Miyoko Hojo walked out, looking at Satou in surprise as she asked.
