"Hey. Have you read the guide booklet? I heard that Satou also opened a shop, and it's in the Near Mountain Area."
"I saw it, but that's normal, right? He also has Elite Ten strength, doesn't he?"
"Yes, but his theme is rare ingredients, and the admission fee is 100,000 per person."
"No way? Miss Erina's reservation restaurant reportedly only costs twenty to thirty thousand per person."
"Yeah, will anyone really pay to enter? Let's go check it out?"
Students who were not participating in the School Festival were all discussing Satou's restaurant.
Satou's restaurant received a lot of attention, occupying a large section in the School Festival's travel guide for its introduction, no less than the restaurants of star Elite Ten members like Kuga Terunori and Eishi Tsukasa.
In addition, the news that Yukihira Soma wanted to challenge Kuga Terunori was also a minor news story.
But what students paid most attention to was clearly Satou's reservation restaurant, and they all wanted to see how popular it was.
Among them were some narrow-minded individuals who really wanted to see Satou make a fool of himself.
As dinner time approached, the number of customers in the Near Mountain Area gradually increased.
"Isn't that the president of Sento Food Supplier? I saw him heading towards Tsukasa-senpai's restaurant."
"And the famous food critic, Miss Nishimoto, is she a reserved guest of Lady Erina?"
Watching one famous figure after another from the culinary world walk past them, the students watching the show were all surprised.
Indeed, the influence of the Elite Ten in the culinary world was truly incomparable to theirs.
Just then, a pair of sisters in luxurious long dresses also got out of a luxurious car and walked towards the restaurant on the mountain.
"These are the Chihyaku Sisters? They're here too?"
"Yes, which restaurant are they heading for?"
Then, they saw the Chihyaku Sisters walk into Satou's restaurant.
"He's actually that guy's reserved guest?"
"Kita Shuji went in too!"
"Isn't that Instructor Hinako? A very famous female chef in the culinary world, does she also attach so much importance to Satou's restaurant?"
"And Fuyumi Mizuhara-senpai! Does Satou know so many Elite Ten graduates?"
"The Yuanyue Supreme Commander! She's here too."
Watching those famous figures one after another walk into Satou's restaurant, everyone was amazed, especially those Elite Ten graduates.
Just looking at the influence, Satou seemed to be even stronger than Eishi Tsukasa and Erina Nakiri?
At least, Eishi Tsukasa and these current Elite Ten members didn't have the face to invite Elite Ten graduates to taste the dishes in their shops.
Not to mention the Yuanyue Supreme Commander.
Looking at the customers gradually entering, a slight smile also appeared on Eishi Tsukasa's face.
"Satou, let's compete again! This time, I won't lose to you."
He put his hands in front of him and muttered to himself.
...
"Is the theme this time rare ingredients? I wonder what kind of dishes we'll get to eat?"
"I don't know, but the admission fee is quite expensive."
"It is a bit expensive. Let's see what kind of dish it is this time."
The entering guests discussed in low voices as they walked.
Most of these people Satou had met while helping Erina Nakiri with food tastings, or during the bear meat exam. After hearing that Satou would open a shop at the School Festival, even though the admission tickets were a bit expensive, they bought them without hesitation.
"Look quickly, isn't that Hinako Inui from Kirinoya?"
"And Mizuhara Fuyumi, have these Elite Ten graduates come too?"
The guests were all surprised to see Hinako Inui and the others entering.
"Does this Satou have such great influence? To actually be able to invite these Elite Ten graduates."
"Indeed."
Unlike the recently graduated Elite Ten members like Kikuchi Sonoka, Hinako Inui and other Elite Ten members who graduated many years ago could already be considered leaders in their respective fields, and their influence was incomparable.
Therefore, seeing that Satou could actually invite these Elite Ten graduates who were already renowned in the culinary world, everyone was very surprised and couldn't help but look forward to his cooking even more.
"Everyone's here too?"
Satou said with a smile.
He had sent admission tickets to Hinako Inui, Kikuchi Sonoka, and Karasaki Taki in advance. He didn't expect Hinako Inui to also bring Mizuhara Fuyumi and Guan Shouhei. Of course, these two bought their own seats.
"Hearing that Satou is opening a shop, of course I have to come and taste it!"
Hinako Inui said in her unique cute tone.
"Satou, you are my Sub-Chef, so I definitely have to come and support you."
Kikuchi Sonoka smiled slightly and said.
"Satou, we're here too. I'm really looking forward to Satou's cooking."
Hearing that terrible Japanese, Satou knew that his Mother-in-law had arrived.
Turning his head, he indeed saw Senzaemon Nakiri and Leonora Nakiri walking in together.
"Hehe, I'm here to eat!"
Alice Nakiri patted Satou's shoulder with a giggle and said.
Satou had specifically sent her a few admission tickets before, wanting her to bring her mother and grandfather along. After all, they were Erina's elders, and thus his own elders too.
Today, Leonora Nakiri was wearing a golden long dress, which accentuated her slender figure. Her long silver hair cascaded over her shoulders, making her look elegant and noble, like a beautiful queen from a fairy tale.
Satou couldn't help but recall the last time he accidentally had an indirect kiss with his Mother-in-law, and his expression became a bit strange.
"Eh? Satou, your face looks a bit strange. Are you sick?"
Leonora Nakiri, like an elder, gently touched Satou's forehead with her hand and asked with some concern, completely oblivious to Satou's even stranger expression.
"Cough cough, it's nothing."
Satou said, "Please enjoy tonight's dishes to your heart's content."
A smile appeared on Senzaemon Nakiri's serious face. "I'm also very much looking forward to Satou's cooking. I wonder what kind of rare ingredients I'll get to eat today?"
"Even the Head Chef has come?"
When the guests saw Senzaemon Nakiri and Leonora Nakiri, their surprise could no longer be described.
At the same time, this also made them look forward to Satou's cooking even more.
"Satou, how about what I asked you to consider last time about being my man?"
With a somewhat ambiguous voice, the Chihyaku Sisters walked over, and Chihyaku Orie even hugged Satou's arm, acting spoiled.
"Eh? Satou, are you cheating?"
Leonora Nakiri looked at the two and was stunned.
