A foodie.
Just good at eating, not good at understanding food!
If you add the word'senior', then between 'foodie' and 'gourmet', it should lean a little more towards the latter.
Kobayashi Rindo's understanding of food is definitely far above that of many foodies.
After all, not all dishes appeal to her.
On the other side, Kakizaki Taki saw the delicious red stewed oxtail and kept her spoon raised.
"Why aren't you eating?"
Sosuke asked.
"I don't like it!"
Kakizaki Taki was startled, then put down her spoon and turned her head away.
She said that, but the fragrant red stew smell kept wafting into her nose, making her swallow uncontrollably, and her stomach protested even more loudly.
"Alas, that's a pity."
"This pot of red stewed oxtail soup was carefully prepared by me according to the flavors of Mediterranean cuisine."
"Since you don't like it, I'll just have to throw it away!"
Sosuke pretended to be regretful and made a move to throw the pot of red stewed oxtail into the trash can.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing this, Kakizaki Taki couldn't help but ask.
"Throwing it away, didn't you say you don't like it?" Sosuke smiled.
Kakizaki Taki was stunned, then bit her lower lip, her gaze fixed on the pot of red stewed oxtail soup.
...
Gurgle!
Gurgle!
At this moment, her stomach growled particularly loudly.
This sudden situation made her blush, so embarrassed that she wanted to find a place to hide.
"Eat it, don't waste it."
Sosuke proactively served a bowl of red stewed oxtail soup and brought it to her.
Kakizaki Taki hesitated for a moment, then finally reached out and picked up the bowl of red stewed oxtail soup, saying, "You asked me to, but... but I don't want to eat it!"
Sosuke:???
No way!
She has tsundere tendencies too?
"Think whatever you want, anyway, this is just a simple welcome party, just a late-night snack, I guess."
Sosuke shrugged, replying indifferently.
Without another word, Kakizaki Taki ate the bowl of red stewed oxtail soup directly in front of him.
At first, she was reserved, trying not to make those'smacking' sounds.
But later, perhaps it was too much to her liking, or perhaps she was a little hungry, so she simply stopped holding back and ate in large mouthfuls.
...
Soon.
The entire pot of red stewed oxtail was eaten clean.
That feeling of being full was indeed very comfortable; not only Kobayashi Rindo, but even Kakizaki Taki felt much more pleased.
When she placed the licked-clean bowl on the table, she found Sosuke staring at her with a half-smile.
Her cheeks involuntarily flushed, and she asked softly, "Wh-why?"
"Hmm?"
Sosuke was stunned!
"I mean, why are you so good to me?"
"I remember the first time I met you, I was very unfriendly to you. I always thought you were a fake, deceiving... deceiving Kikuchi's feelings!"
"Later, due to the influence of the Midnight Chefs incident, my Taki Amarillo Restaurant, which I had painstakingly managed for two years, almost went bankrupt overnight."
"It was when I was lost in life that you, disregarding past grievances, were willing to take me in."
"So."
"I... I really don't understand!"
As she spoke, Kakizaki Taki gazed at Sosuke, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Don't get too emotional. I just happened to be short-staffed at the Izakaya, that's all." Sosuke said indifferently upon seeing this.
"Sure enough, you're just too kind."
After Kakizaki Taki finished speaking, she didn't look at Sosuke again, but instead stood up and quickly left the Izakaya.
"She's leaving already?"
Looking at her disappearing back, Sosuke could only murmur to himself.
However, when he shifted his gaze back to the bowl on the table that she had already licked clean, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.
...
Morning is the most beautiful time of the day.
It is like a shy and timid maiden, slowly unveiling her mysterious veil as the sun rises from the east, revealing her charming figure to all things in the world.
Starting today, the holiday after the Practical Training activity officially ends.
All new students must return to Totsuki Culinary Academy to study.
And then, the list of 60 participants for the Autumn Elections also began to be announced.
At this moment, in a wide square, everyone's eyes were focused on the whiteboard covered with a red cloth. The surrounding air seemed to be fixed by 502 glue, and only faint breathing sounds could be heard.
During the tense waiting process, some people were full of confidence, firmly believing that they would be on this list of 60.
Some people, although outwardly calm, had turbulent emotions within.
And some were so nervous that their palms were sweating, fearing they wouldn't be selected!
Finally, when the time came, the red cloth was pulled down.
Instantly, the list of 60 participants was completely exposed to everyone's eyes, and the whole place erupted in a commotion.
"Let me see."
"Wow... Sōma is in A Block!"
"And his former rival, Mito Ikumi, is also there, and even Marui Zenji and Ibusaki Shun are on the list."
"Huh?"
"Oh no, why isn't my name there?"
"That shouldn't be, what's wrong with me compared to Marui Zenji? He made it, I... I..."
Yoshino Yuki, squeezed in the crowd, kept sweeping her round eyes across the densely packed names on the whiteboard.
As a result, after looking and looking, she still couldn't find her name, and couldn't help but feel panicked and uneasy!
...
"It's here."
"Yoshino, you're not in A Block, you're in B Block."
"And Tadokoro Megumi and my names are also there, which means that everyone in the Polar Star Dormitory, except for the less skilled Aoki Daigo and Sato Shoji, made the list!"
Beside her, the sharp-eyed Sakaki Ryoko extended her right index finger, pointing to another whiteboard, and said.
"Really?"
Yoshino Yuki heard this and quickly followed the direction she pointed to check.
Finally, she indeed found her name, and couldn't help but excitedly hug Sakaki Ryoko beside her, crying with joy, "Wuwuwu, this is great, I really was selected."
"Huh?"
"Me too?"
Upon learning that she was also on the list of 60, Tadokoro Megumi couldn't help but feel disbelief.
Her identity was originally that of a poor student at the bottom of the class. Although she had various excellent performances after the start of school, how could she rank among the top 60?
"Megumi, don't show that surprised expression."
"Just your ability to impress Shinomiya-senpai with your improved cooking during the Practical Training is enough to qualify you for the Autumn Elections."
"To be honest, it would be a surprise if you weren't on this list."
Wiping away her tears, Yoshino Yuki said this.
"Yes, Megumi."
