"Satou, you've changed your heart; you're starting to dislike me."
Kobayashi Rindo said, crying, while repeatedly hitting Satou with her small fists.
"Hey, Satou, are you and Senior Kobayashi together?"
Yukihira Soma asked, very surprised.
"Don't listen to her nonsense. She's just here for a free meal."
Satou said, feeling a bit speechless, because he instantly detected two suspicious gazes, from Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri.
"Indeed, Satou, you really have changed. You're calling a Senior's concern freeloading. You weren't like this before; you used to be so good to me."
Kobayashi Rindo buried her face in Satou's chest, repeatedly pounding him with her small fists, crying sadly.
"Alright, alright, I'll let you join this party."
Satou immediately got a headache. To describe freeloading so fresh and refined, there was no one else like her.
"Really?"
Kobayashi Rindo instantly lifted her head, revealing two small canine teeth, patted Satou's shoulder, and laughed heartily, "As expected of the man I fancy."
Looking at her hearty laughter, where was the slightest trace of sadness from before?
"But Senior Kobayashi, how did you know we were having a party?"
Satou couldn't help but ask, then he glanced at Yuki Yoshino, because among everyone, that person had the biggest mouth.
"Satou, what kind of look is that!"
Yuki Yoshino said, looking unhappy.
"Oh. The timing just happened to be the end of the Field Training, so I came over."
Kobayashi Rindo smiled, revealing two small canine teeth, "Alright, let's go eat, no, let's celebrate everyone passing the Field Training. Speaking of which, Satou, do you have any rare ingredients recently?"
Satou couldn't help but roll his eyes at her. Indeed, this person was just here for a free meal.
"Yay, this is great! I'm going to have a big feast to reward myself for the torment of the past few days."
Yuki Yoshino made a victory gesture and said happily.
Another foodie.
Those who came to the celebration party this time, besides the people from Polar Star Dormitory, also included Mito Ikumi, Miyoko Hojo, Hisako Arato, and others who had good relationships with Satou or Erina Nakiri.
Tonight's dinner was still hot pot. Anyway, there was still a lot of Frozen Wild Buffalo meat, and the unit price wasn't expensive, so Satou wasn't afraid of these foodies.
Satou walked at the back of the crowd, and suddenly felt his face get wet, as if someone had kissed him. He turned his head and saw Alice Nakiri smiling mischievously at him, her eyes full of playfulness.
Satou's heart stirred, and he also found it a bit amusing.
However, Alice Nakiri was truly bold. It would have been bad if that scene had been discovered just now.
"What if someone saw that just now?"
He couldn't help but say.
"No one saw it."
Alice Nakiri smiled playfully, then leaned in and quickly gave another kiss.
"Hey, you two, hurry up."
At this moment, Erina Nakiri turned her head and said.
"I know, Erina!"
Alice Nakiri smiled happily, then skipped away, clearly in a very good mood.
"Ryo-kun, hurry up and take it out!"
As soon as Alice Nakiri sat down in her seat, she urged impatiently.
"I know."
Ryo took out a bottle of red wine from his bag.
"Oh, how did you guys buy this?"
Kobayashi Rindo's eyes lit up instantly. In Neon, it was forbidden to sell alcohol to minors. The few bottles she had last time were brought back from abroad.
"Oh, because Ryo-kun looks more like a delinquent, the Convenience Store owner just sold it to him directly."
Alice Nakiri smiled proudly.
"Huh? But isn't that guy a delinquent to begin with?"
Yukihira Soma said in surprise.
"Damn it, what are you talking about?"
Ryo glared at Yukihira Soma, looking very unhappy, as if there was something he couldn't directly say.
"He really is a delinquent."
Kobayashi Rindo said in surprise.
Everyone nodded in unison.
"Alice, isn't drinking not good?"
Erina Nakiri said with some hesitation.
"I know, Erina, you're a good girl, of course you wouldn't dare to drink."
Alice Nakiri said with some disdain.
"Who... who said I'm a good girl?"
Erina Nakiri's face flushed, and she said angrily. Then she picked up a glass, poured a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
However, she immediately choked, her cheeks flushed, clearly unaccustomed to drinking.
"Sure enough, Erina, you still can't do it."
Alice Nakiri smiled triumphantly, then drained the wine in her glass in one gulp.
"Who says I can't do it! I'll drink it for you to see!"
Erina Nakiri said defiantly, and then drank another glass of wine.
After three glasses of wine, Erina Nakiri lay lie on the table, sound asleep.
Everyone looked at Erina Nakiri, who had already announced her exit from the banquet, which had just begun, and were all speechless.
"I'll help Miss Erina go rest."
Hisako Arato said somewhat awkwardly, then helped Erina Nakiri to a nearby sofa and covered her with a blanket.
By the time the banquet ended, it was already early morning. Everyone had drunk some alcohol, coupled with the fatigue from the practical training, and they all fell into a deep sleep.
Looking at the bodies on the floor, Satou shook his head.
Just as he was about to get a blanket, he suddenly felt someone hug him.
"Everyone's finally asleep."
Alice Nakiri breathed a sigh of relief.
Satou turned around and looked at her clear eyes, feeling a bit stunned, "Alice, aren't you drunk?"
He remembered that Alice Nakiri had drunk quite a bit at the time, right?
"That was plain water! Otherwise, how would we have a chance to be alone!"
Alice Nakiri pouted and said angrily.
Satou was speechless. It seemed that Erina Nakiri must have been intentionally made drunk by her.
"Erina is so in the way, of course I had to make her sleep!"
Alice Nakiri looked as if it was only natural, and smiled triumphantly, "But it was surprisingly easy, I just provoked her a few times."
Satou glanced at Erina Nakiri, who was curled up like a kitten on the sofa, with a faint smile on her lips, and was instantly speechless. Compared to her cunning younger sister, the Tsundere was sometimes truly simple and straightforward, or rather, adorably silly.
