Totsuki Academy!
"Master, you're here."
Erina showed a look of surprise.
Due to some matters, she was one of the few servants who had not gone to the other world.
At this moment, the Arato Hisako beside her was completely stunned.
'Wh-what kind of address was this?'
Her eyes widened as she stared intently at this handsome man she had never seen before.
'Could it be that Erina-sama had lost a Shokugeki and agreed to such an embarrassing form of address?'
'But why had I never heard of this person?'
She instinctively looked at the nameplate on Ayato's school uniform.
Kuoh Academy.
'He's not a student from our school?'
On the other side, Ayato glanced at this purple-haired girl, his eyes flickering slightly.
If he remembered correctly, this should be Erina's attendant and sidekick.
Come to think of it, this was the first time he had seen her.
Erina said: "Master, is there something you need me to do?"
"Indeed, there is."
Ayato withdrew his gaze and said: "Prepare yourself. Establish a club here."
This was also a reminder he realized from watching Euphemia.
With just one action, she had netted a Kallen.
Not to mention this hodgepodge world…
Who knew if there were any story characters in Totsuki Academy.
"Establishing a club is no problem. With my authority, I can easily do it."
Erina blinked and said: "I just don't know what to name it, or what the club's specific activities would be. After all, all our clubs here are related to cooking."
"Club activities or whatever, I don't care. That's not my concern."
Ayato said: "As for the entry requirement, it must be beautiful girls."
Erina: "..."
Hisako: "..."
'Good grief, so he's just an absent boss.'
'And what's with 'must be beautiful girls'? Is this club even proper?'
"What, is it not allowed?"
"Of course it's allowed."
Erina immediately shook her head and said seriously: "I will definitely make this club a success."
"But as for the name, can I decide that too?"
"The name..."
Ayato rubbed his chin, then his eyes flickered: "Call it the Harem Club."
Hisako: "..."
'Harem Club?'
'He's not even pretending anymore, is he?'
'This person, his brain seemed to be full of women.'
'Was it really okay for Erina-sama to be entangled with such a man?'
"J-just as expected from you, Master."
The corner of Erina's mouth twitched, thinking of all of Ayato's servants.
The name, although absurd...
Coming from this master of hers, it wasn't strange.
"What, is there a problem?"
"There is a small one."
Erina said quietly: "This name might not be approved. And it's clearly not related to cooking."
"Indeed, not everyone is at my level."
Ayato nodded: "But still, try it. After 'Harem', you can add whatever you want."
"But if it's not approved, then just do whatever you want."
"Understood, Master."
Erina breathed a huge sigh of relief.
If she absolutely had to use that name, it would really be difficult.
Then, Ayato gave some more instructions and left the room.
"Erina-sama, you're not really going to submit that name, are you?"
"Of course I am. It's Master's command."
Hearing this, Hisako's eyes widened, incredulous: "Erina-sama, a name like that won't be approved."
"Even if it won't be approved, Master's command is absolute."
Erina took out paper and pen and began to write the club application.
"Th-this... this... this..."
Hisako was completely dumbfounded.
The Totsuki Elite Ten member in her heart, the Food Demon King's granddaughter who tolerated no dissent, shouldn't be like this.
Sensing Hisako's strangeness, Erina hesitated for a moment, then said: "You know those dishes I've made recently? They were all possible because of Master."
"What, so that's it. Is he some amazing chef?"
"No, Master is far greater than any chef. He's a Devil."
"Ha? Erina-sama, don't joke. You are..."
Erina didn't speak. With a whoosh, a pair of Devil wings spread out.
The words stopped abruptly.
Hisako's body stiffened, her eyes growing wider and wider.
'Devils... could it be real?'
'But how could Erina-sama also be a Devil?'
Seeing Arato Hisako's expression, Erina smiled: "...Shocked, aren't you? I looked about the same as you back then."
"I-is that so?"
Swallowing her saliva, Hisako was still somewhat dazed.
"Since you've met Master, there's no harm in telling you."
Erina thought for a moment, then slowly began to recount: "It all started with that trip to Kuoh Town..."
After a while…
"So that's how it is..."
The shock in Hisako's eyes gradually subsided, turning into complexity.
'Devils, Cursed Spirits, Angels, Fallen Angels... these legendary things really existed.'
'And Erina-sama was one of them.'
She didn't doubt it.
After all, those genuine Devil wings, and those previously otherworldly dishes, were the evidences.
But she realized she and Erina had become people of two different worlds.
With this in mind, a sense of sadness rose in her heart.
She had worked so hard just to always follow Erina.
Cooking skills could be practiced.
But how could she obtain this kind of supernatural power?
'Wait!'
'If Erina-sama could become a Devil, that meant I could too.'
Instinctively, she looked at herself.
'Beautiful girl... I should qualify.'
'But then, I would have to call that man 'Master'?'
Erina said suspiciously: "Hisako, what are you thinking about?"
"Erina-sama, I have a request."
"Hmm?"
