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

Momoko Akane didn't say a word and slunk forward.

Only when he reached the car door did he hesitantly turn his head.

She quietly nodded her little head at Lu Xuanyu.

……

Nine o'clock in the evening.

Lu Xuanyu, along with Tadokoro Megumi, Mito Ikumi, and Sakaki Ryoko, had just returned from the gymnasium downstairs.

"Lord Xuan Yu, when...when did you start practicing table tennis?"

"I've never seen you fight before, how come you're so good?"

"Even Xiaohui..."

Mito Ikumi exclaimed in admiration.

The three women stayed with Lu Xuanyu for over an hour.

Besides Tadokoro Megumi, who can put some pressure on Lu Xuanyu.

Mito Ikumi and Sakaki Ryoko were just there to make up the numbers; if they wanted to score even a point or two, they would have to see if Lu Xuanyu would make a mistake.

"Ping pong, it's probably a talent in my blood!"

"I feel like I've known how to play since my past life. Xiaohui plays very well too."

"Only a tiny bit worse than me, hahaha!"

Lu Xuanyu said smugly.

Although Tadokoro Megumi didn't win a single game, she still had a happy smile on her face.

"Xuan Yujun has always been like this; he's always much better than others at everything he does!"

"Your excellence is admirable. I will practice more and I will definitely last longer next time!"

Lu Xuanyu affectionately stroked Tadokoro Megumi's little head:

"Xiao Hui, why don't you just say you'll definitely beat me next time?"

"You're making threats so gently; you'll easily get bullied when you go out!"

Tadokoro Megumi followed obediently beside Lu Xuanyu without answering.

Instead, she thought to herself: As long as Xuan Yujun is by my side, no one will bully me.

"Lord Xuan Yu, are you going to continue playing karuta in your room tonight?"

"Are there other forms of entertainment?"

"What motivated me to complete the assessment today was the fun I had with everyone!"

Mito Ikumi looked at Lu Xuanyu expectantly.

Judging from her expression, she seemed fully prepared for tonight's entertainment battle.

"Little Meat Charm, what a pity."

"Tonight might not be so easy."

Didn't you see today's schedule?

"It doesn't specify the rest time for tonight at all!"

Lu Xuanyu had a clear idea of ​​what awaited them tonight.

really.

He had barely finished speaking when the loudspeaker outside the building started broadcasting:

"To all the students of Totsuki Academy, thank you for your hard work today!"

"I am Dojima Gin, and I have something important to announce!"

"At 22 PM, please change into your uniforms and assemble in the grand banquet hall!"

"Repeat!"

"One hour later..."

Ryoko Sakaki sighed dejectedly:

"Xuan Yu was right, is the assessment still not over for today?"

"What's this time? An additional assessment?"

Lu Xuanyu did not reveal the answer in advance.

Instead, he urged everyone to hurry back to their rooms, take a shower, and dry off the sweat, and then meet him in the lobby an hour later.

……

Ten o'clock in the evening.

The hall was bustling with people.

Many students were listless and drowsy.

After three consecutive days of assessments, and withstanding the mental pressure of being expelled at any time, the physical exertion was naturally even greater.

The next few days will be the real test of a chef's skills.

"Xuan Yu, you've finally arrived!"

"You actually dare to challenge Shinomiya-senpai to a food battle?"

"What are you thinking? Aren't you overconfident!"

"What if we lose? What will the consequences be?"

"What an arrogant guy. Is there any room for him to back out now?"

Lu Xuanyu had just arrived at the venue when he was blocked by Hojo Miyoko as soon as he entered.

It seems she has been searching for herself for a long time.

That's why they started talking non-stop as soon as they met.

"Did the news spread so quickly? I thought only a very small number of people knew about it."

"Haha, there's really no price to pay. If you lose, you'll have to work for Shinomiya-senpai for a year after graduation."

Lu Xuanyu spoke truthfully, without any intention of hiding anything.

Hearing that the price was only a year of part-time work, Hojo Miyoko breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Xuanyu stared at Hojo Miyoko: "Miyoko, are you worried about me? We're not boyfriend and girlfriend anymore."

Miyoko Hojo avoided his gaze: "No... can't we worry even if we're not lovers? Friends can worry about each other too!"

Lu Xuanyu: "Oh, I see... So, can friends kiss each other?"

Miyoko Hojo: "..."

"It seems everyone has assembled. Please look this way!"

From the front of the stage came Dojima Gin's voice.

The group moved around to listen to Dojima Gin's speech.

"I've gathered you all here so late tonight just to inform you of tomorrow's assessment topic."

"New breakfast items!"

"Everyone needs to prepare breakfast suitable for the guests who come into contact with Meta Reading!"

"There are no restrictions on the types of dishes; feel free to be creative."

"A buffet will be served to guests of the Far Moon Resort tomorrow morning."

"The main ingredient is... eggs!"

· ····Requesting 0 flowers ··

"The examiners will be allowed to enter promptly at six o'clock tomorrow morning!"

"Students who fail to meet the sales target within the time limit will be expelled on the spot!"

Dojima Gin's speech immediately caused a stir in the room.

The students, still exhausted, let out wailing screams.

"Starting at six o'clock tomorrow morning? Does that mean I won't get any sleep tonight?"

"A breakfast with eggs as the main ingredient is a model of a popular breakfast. Without something new, how could we attract guests staying here?"

"Oh my god, I'm really doomed this time. My mind is completely blank, and I can't think of anything to do!"

"Not only can I not sleep, but now I also have to face pressure to try to make innovative breakfasts. It's infuriating!"

"Hell, this really is hell!"

"..."

Lu Xuanyu, who had expected this, was not surprised at all.
