After three years of dormancy, the Gourmet Tyrant was born.

"us……"

Tadokoro Megumi, once again like a flustered little rabbit, covered her face and looked around warily.

Fortunately, everyone was engrossed in the game of poker and no one noticed their sudden and decisive action.

……

After a night.

The opening ceremony for the new semester at Totsuki Academy has begun.

A group of new students gathered in the main square, waiting for the arrival of Totsuki Academy's supreme commander, Senzaemon Nakiri.

After becoming one of the Ten Outstanding Individuals, Lu Xuanyu no longer needed to listen to the Commander-in-Chief's speech with the new students.

To the side of the stage is a rest area exclusively for the Ten Heroes.

After saying goodbye to his roommates in Polaris Dormitory, Lu Xuanyu yawned as he arrived at the rest area.

He was also holding dozens of letters of various colors in his hands.

Pink and tender, colorful and vibrant, it's a feast for the eyes.

These were all "love letters" sent by the little girls from different classes after they arrived.

They wouldn't dare to express their feelings so readily to the other members of the Ten Outstanding Members Council.

The reason he dared to treat Lu Xuanyu this way was entirely because of the legend of his "sixty-six girlfriends" over the past three years.

The youngest member of the Council of the Ten Outstanding Individuals in the history of Totsuki Academy!

A wealthy young master who owns 20% of the shares in the Far Moon Resort!

With a dual identity, which girl with even a little bit of good looks and figure wouldn't want to be a little bolder and give it a try?

"yawn……"

I stayed up too late yesterday, and I only got up because Tadokoro Megumi dragged me out of bed.

At this moment, Lu Xuanyu is probably still dreaming.

He slowly walked into the rest area, where Erina Nakiri, with her full head of blonde hair, was already sitting in a spot, gracefully bobbing her little feet.

Upon noticing Lu Xuanyu enter, she immediately became reserved and maintained a dignified sitting posture.

Exquisite face, fair skin, and a tall, proud figure.

Delicious food!

Such a beautiful girl, coupled with the gift of the "God's Tongue".

She truly embodies the queenly aura of someone who can be forgiven for anything she does in real life.

"Good morning, Erina."

Lu Xuanyu sat on the other side of the table and scattered all the letters he was holding onto the table.

"these are……"

Looking at the colorful letters, Erina Nakiri instantly understood what was going on.

She knew she would run into Lu Xuanyu at the rest area today.

I'm going to take this opportunity to voice the question I was going to ask yesterday but didn't.

Upon seeing dozens of "love letters," she immediately felt disgusted.

"No wonder he lost 99 points on his conduct test in junior high!"

"Your mind wasn't on cooking at all, so becoming one of the Ten Masters was just lucky, Lu Xuanyu!"

Erina Nakiri's words were full of hostility.

Lu Xuanyu: "..."

She's a young lady for a reason; she'll confront anyone she doesn't like on the spot!

I didn't provoke her or cause her any trouble.

They started making sarcastic remarks the moment they met?

Others might spoil him... but Lu Xuanyu has no intention of doing that!

"Miss Erina, you've probably never been in a relationship before, haven't you?"

"Such a wonderful thing, and you make it sound so unpleasant."

"My character score... such obscure information, you even know that?"

"Are you secretly watching me?"

"Could it be that she's just using me as a fake romantic partner?"

"Dang Dang Dang!"

As he spoke, Lu Xuanyu tapped the love letters on the table.

"You must have quite a few competitors. They're all secretly watching me, just like you!"

.......

10. Erina: I don't want to eat; Lu Xuanyu: No, you want to eat! [Seeking flowers and ratings!]

"Are you kidding me?"

"Stop being so presumptuous, you idiot!"

"How could I possibly be secretly watching you!"

"I wouldn't even give someone like you a second glance!"

Erina Nakiri seemed to have been stepped on, and she clenched her fists and retorted repeatedly.

Lu Xuanyu leaned back in his chair, grinning from ear to ear.

Why bother yourself for no reason?

His sharp rebuttals never discriminate based on who the target is.

After sitting down, Lu Xuanyu closed his eyes to rest, secretly fuming as he looked at Erina Nakiri.

Didn't I prepare in advance to have a good talk with Lu Xuanyu?

You can see his behavior...

There's really no way to communicate with a dissolute person!

Unfortunately, Hisako wasn't around at that moment, making her even less adept at handling the situation.

As Erina Nakiri prepared to return to her seat, waiting for the opening ceremony to end.

"Wow, wow..."

The sound of the particles colliding drew her attention again.

Lu Xuanyu took out a small, transparent glass jar containing milky-white granules.

Is it candy?

Snacks you carry with you?

It seems that he's not quite up to par when it comes to cultivating his sense of taste!

"Boom!"

The moment the stopper on the glass jar was pulled off, Erina Nakiri looked over in surprise.

A cool, refreshing breeze drifted towards her.

Even though it was just a table away, I could still smell the sweet aroma of the candy.

Is it because of her amazing sense of smell?

Do not!

It's the cool aroma emanating from the candy itself that's so strong and overpowering!

Do ordinary snacks and candies have such a strong and pleasant aroma?

Lu Xuanyu poured out a pill and put it in his mouth. When he looked up, he saw Erina Nakiri's gaze.

Everything is under control.

Such a strong smell—if you weren't curious, you'd be a fool.

"Want one?"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Lu Xuanyu flicked the small glass jar in his hand, tempting Nakiri Erina to take the bait.

"cut!"

"I will not eat these cheap snacks made by ordinary people."

"Consuming too much sugar in the morning can affect the speed of thinking in the brain."
