Alice Nakiri poured a little of the contents of the bottle into her own cup and then handed it to Satou.
Satou looked at the somewhat dark and turbid liquid inside and asked with a headache, "What kind of messy thing is this?"
"Just drink it~ you'll be fine."
Alice Nakiri urged.
The liquid in the cup was dark, a bit turbid, and emitted a faint fragrance of rice.
Satou squinted at Alice, always feeling that there was something wrong with this cup.
"Why are you looking at me? Drink it, quickly drink it!"
Alice Nakiri puffed out her cheeks, very displeased that Satou wasn't drinking. She shook his arm and whined.
Satou was a bit speechless, but he couldn't resist Alice Nakiri's urging, so he bit the bullet and took a sip.
"How is it? Is it good?"
Alice Nakiri's eyes sparkled, full of anticipation.
"Mm, the taste is not bad."
Satou smacked his lips and nodded. It was sweet, not very strong in alcohol, with a faint aroma of rice. As a drink, it was indeed quite tasty.
"Really?"
Alice Nakiri said with a beaming smile, clearly very proud.
"This wine... could it be your..."
Satou thought of a guess and couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, it's my Kuchikamizake!"
Alice Nakiri stuck out her tongue and said with a bit of shyness.
Satou was speechless. He knew it.
Sure enough, the incident with Kobayashi Rindo last time made her care a lot, so after going back, she made Kuchikamizake.
"How is it? Whose Kuchikamizake is better, mine or Lin Longdan's?"
Alice Nakiri's small face was slightly red, but she still asked.
Satou was speechless again. Sure enough, girls just love to be particular.
However, after thinking about it, he still answered truthfully, "Yours is better, I guess. The aroma is richer, and it's sweeter. But, you used Black Rice to make it, right?"
"Mm."
Alice Nakiri was very proud to hear that hers was better than Kobayashi Rindo's. "I used Black Rice. My mom also helped me a little."
"Your... your mom?"
Satou was stunned. Could it be that this Kuchikamizake was actually made by Alice Nakiri and her mother?
"My mom saw me secretly making Kuchikamizake in the kitchen and was very interested, so she also helped make a small part."
Alice Nakiri blushed and looked at him with some shyness.
"Then does your mom know you made this wine for me to drink?"
Satou couldn't help but ask.
"She doesn't know. She thought I was making it for fun."
Alice Nakiri stuck out her tongue, saying playfully, "But next time, I'll make it for you by myself. You must drink it, understood?"
When she said the last sentence, she suddenly patted his shoulder, puffed out her cheeks, and said seriously.
Satou felt deeply helpless. So, did that mean he had just had an indirect kiss with his Mother-in-law?
"Never mind that for now, come on, keep drinking."
Alice Nakiri smiled and poured a little more into her cup for Satou.
"Maybe not?"
Satou whispered.
"What! Why did you drink all of Senior Kobayashi's, but you won't drink mine?"
Alice Nakiri puffed out her cheeks, glaring at him angrily and shouting.
"That's because I didn't know beforehand."
Satou said helplessly.
"I don't care, you must drink it, you must drink it!"
Alice Nakiri hit Satou with her small pink fists, shouting repeatedly.
Helplessly, though unwilling, Satou could only bite the bullet and drink it.
It was two hours later when he left Alice Nakiri's room.
"Satou, are you leaving so soon? Won't you stay and play a bit longer?"
Leonora Nakiri saw him off at the door, stroking her cheek, asking with some regret.
"Mm."
Satou nodded, thinking of the wine he had just drunk, which was equivalent to an indirect kiss with his Mother-in-law. It felt strange.
"Then come play again next time!"
Leonora Nakiri smiled and waved, calling out.
A few more days passed, and the Fair Moon Festival was about to begin.
At this time, Satou received a task from the system.
"Host, please open a simulated store during the Fair Moon Festival under the name of the research society, with the theme of 'Fantasy Ingredients', and achieve the highest popularity.
Task Reward: One A-grade ingredient gift package."
"So, I have to open a simulated restaurant too?"
He stroked his chin, muttering to himself.
After school that day, Satou, Megumi Tadokoro, Yukihira Soma, and others walked together.
"Oh, right! The Fair Moon Festival! I've decided, I'm going to surpass Kuga-senpai at the Fair Moon Festival! That way, he'll agree to a Shokugeki with me."
Yukihira Soma's eyes lit up, and he shouted happily.
"Um, Satou, are you going to open a simulated restaurant?"
Megumi Tadokoro lowered her head, asking casually.
"Mm, I probably will open one."
Satou nodded and said.
"Then, Satou, do you already have partners to help you?"
Megumi Tadokoro asked softly.
"Not yet, for now."
Satou said, "If possible, I'd like to ask you, Megumi, to help then. Can you?"
"Mm!"
Megumi Tadokoro had clearly been waiting for this sentence. Hearing it, she looked up and smiled slightly.
However, with just Megumi Tadokoro alone, the manpower was clearly not enough.
Why not go find Miyoko Hojo?
When he found Miyoko Hojo, she was having physical education class.
She was wearing a basketball uniform and moved through the court as if no one was there. The boys on the court couldn't stop her. She easily dribbled past them, then made a powerful dunk, leaving the boys in disarray.
Megumi Tadokoro and Yukihira Soma couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Miyoko Hojo landed on the ground and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
She was very tall, over 1.7 meters, with a very well-developed figure, especially her pair of fair and athletic long legs, which were full of explosive power.
Many boys around secretly swallowed their saliva as they looked at her fair, long legs.
Miyoko Hojo's popularity at Far Moon was still very high. Although not as high as Erina Nakiri or Kawashima Rei, she was still welcomed by many boys due to her tall stature, slender legs, beautiful face, and straightforward personality.
She saw Satou outside the court, and her eyes immediately lit up. She walked directly over.
"Oh, right, Satou, do you have any activities at the School Festival? If you're opening a store, I can come help."
Miyoko Hojo suddenly became shy, looking down at her sneakers, asking with some embarrassment.
