"So, customers who reserved a spot today can continue to reserve a spot for tomorrow. As for the additional twenty spots, reservations will still begin promptly at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
Satou said.
The customers present were all overjoyed to learn that they could continue to reserve a spot for tomorrow. They knew how many customers wanted to taste the dishes from Satou's restaurant now.
Rare and precious ingredients were one aspect, and Satou's own culinary skill had also gained everyone's approval.
Besides the main dish, the other dishes were also exceptionally delicious. Some customers had also reserved tables at Eishi Tsukasa, Erina Nakiri, and others' restaurants at noon and felt that the quality of the side dishes was completely on par with, or even surpassed, theirs.
This was quite astonishing, because Satou was not yet an Elite Ten member, yet his culinary skill was in no way inferior to that of the First Seat, Eishi Tsukasa!
Some even thought his dishes might be more delicious than Eishi Tsukasa's.
Kobayashi Rindo wiped her mouth with a napkin and said with great satisfaction, "Hmm! Today's dishes were delicious. Keep up the good work, junior! I'll be back tomorrow."
Satou gave her a speechless look. This person had eaten four servings of the 910 main dish, French Cream Stewed Rabbit, by herself today.
"What kind of look is that? I sensed a hint of malice in your eyes."
Kobayashi Rindo frowned, twisted Satou's face with her hand, and said.
"Satou, today's dishes were also very delicious."
Leonora Nakiri gracefully stood up from the dining table and said with a smile.
"Really? Thank you for the compliment."
Satou was also happy to see his Mother-in-law enjoying his cooking so much.
"Then tomorrow, we'll shamelessly come again for a free meal."
Leonora Nakiri suddenly winked at Satou, a playful smile appearing on her beautiful and dignified face.
"What are you talking about, Aunt? If you and Alice want to eat, you can come anytime. It's fine."
Satou couldn't help but laugh, as in his heart, they would all be family in the future.
"Ah, Erina-chan is so lucky. If Alice could also find a boyfriend like you in the future, that would be great."
Leonora Nakiri stroked her cheek and sighed.
"She already has."
Alice Nakiri mumbled softly, but no one heard clearly.
"Satou, I really didn't expect that today's culinary skill is already on par with any Elite Ten member."
Senzaemon Nakiri also walked over. A rare smile of relief appeared on his usually stern and rigid face, and his gaze was kind, as if looking at his junior.
"Thank you for the Head Chef's compliment. Please continue to come and taste it with Alice and Aunt tomorrow."
Satou quickly said.
"Haha."
Senzaemon Nakiri couldn't help but laugh heartily, nodding his head and saying, "Then I won't be polite."
Afterward, the customers in the restaurant left one after another, but everyone was still enthusiastically discussing tonight's delicious meal.
Then, Senzaemon Nakiri and Leonora Nakiri also left.
Satou, Miyoko Hojo, and the others tidied up the restaurant and then walked out, preparing to go to Erina Nakiri's restaurant next door for dinner.
Before the School Festival began, Erina Nakiri had told Satou to come for dinner every day.
Upon entering the restaurant, they indeed saw that the spot where they ate yesterday was still empty, clearly left specifically for them by Erina Nakiri.
Satou and the others walked over and sat down at the table.
Hisako Arato quickly came over to pour them water.
"Eh? Where's Erina?"
Alice Nakiri, who came to freeload a meal, asked curiously.
Everyone else was also curious. Usually, at this time, Erina Nakiri would be pouring water and getting fruit, being incredibly warm and virtuous.
But today, she unexpectedly didn't come out.
Hisako Arato showed a strange expression on her face and secretly glanced at Satou.
"Eh? Could it be that you two had a fight?"
Alice Nakiri asked in surprise, though her tone was more schadenfreude.
Miyoko Hojo and Sadatsuka Nao's eyes also lit up.
Looking at these girls, Satou was quite speechless.
Tadokoro Megumi, however, was a little worried for the two of them and said, "Satou, apologize to Erina-san. I think Erina-san will definitely forgive you."
Hisako Arato, however, pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, Erina-san and Satou have a very good relationship."
In her opinion, Erina-san didn't look angry at all. She had been eagerly waiting for Satou at the restaurant entrance in the morning; she was just having a temper tantrum and feeling a bit sulky.
"What the heck, you got my hopes up for nothing."
Alice Nakiri lowered her head and mumbled softly.
Satou gave her a speechless look. Did this girl really want him and Erina to argue?
"So, it's just a little lovers' spat."
Kobayashi Rindo also mumbled.
Soon, Erina Nakiri walked out of the kitchen, placed a plate of cold dishes on the dining table, and huffed, "The rest of the dishes will be served shortly."
Then, without even looking at Satou, she turned and went back into the kitchen.
But despite her demeanor, tonight's dinner was still very lavish, clearly indicating that Erina Nakiri had put a lot of thought into it.
Alice Nakiri, just like yesterday, clung to Satou, tasting a bit here and there.
Kobayashi Rindo, however, was eating very happily.
"Rindo-senpai is very spirited today."
Tadokoro Megumi exclaimed.
"That's right, today I met two girls who eat more than me, so I can't give up."
Kobayashi Rindo nodded very seriously.
"What? Someone who eats more than Senior Kobayashi?"
Everyone was surprised.
Satou also mumbled, "I really didn't expect there'd be someone who eats more than Rindo-senpai."
Kobayashi Rindo glared at him unpleasantly, twisting Satou's cheeks with both hands, "Junior, I sensed a hint of malice in your eyes."
Satou was speechless for a moment; he also felt a strong sense of malice from her hands!
Soon, everyone finished dinner and left.
Satou stayed behind to help Erina Nakiri and Hisako Arato tidy up the restaurant.
Walking out the door, Satou naturally squatted down on the ground and said, "Come on."
