The strongest anime shop owner

"Uh, this and that." The man named Xiao Gao scratched his head, looking awkward, as if he was thinking about something.

And so, the two sat there in silence for a long time, like a young couple in the throes of first love, clearly liking each other but too shy to break through that barrier.

"It's really outrageous that Ju would let a girl say such a thing." In the silence, the brave Wenxu spoke first, her words tinged with resentment.

At this point, the two looked at each other, their faces instantly turning red, their hearts pounding, and they exuding nervousness. Seeing that the two were still keeping their distance, Wenxu couldn't help but say, "Come a little closer?" His words were full of shyness.

"I need your help to keep me warm, please," Wenxu said to the man, her face flushed with embarrassment, her words full of allure.

"Hold me—" In reality, Mrs. Fumio blushed, closed her eyes, and was about to kiss Tadokoro.

"Ah! Open me up, Mrs. Fumio!" Tadokoro exclaimed immediately upon seeing this.

As for Su Luo, he was very farsighted. He kept his distance while Mrs. Wenxu was tasting it. If she were kissed, how would she ever get married?

"Cough! Hehehe." Hearing Tadokoro's exclamation, Mrs. Fumio, who was lost in her fantasy, immediately woke up and let go of his hand. As soon as she let go, Tadokoro ran far away, seemingly having suffered some heavy blow. Seeing this embarrassing situation, Mrs. Fumio couldn't help but cough.

"Alright! Your room is 304." Mrs. Fumio took out the key and said to Soya, "I approve of your move-in to the dormitory!"

"Thank you." With that, Su Luo immediately took the key, thinking to herself, "304? That's the room opposite Soma's, my dad's old room."

As for why Su Luo wasn't in that room, but Soma was, it was probably arranged by someone.

"Xiao Hui, I'm going to my room to tidy up now. See you later." After getting the key, Su Luo said goodbye to Tadokoro and left.

"Okay! See you later." Watching Su Luo's departing figure, Tadokoro clenched his fist tightly, thinking firmly in his heart, "I didn't expect Soya-kun to be so amazing. It seems I also need to work harder. Go for it! Megumi, you can't let your hometown down."

"Task: Move into the Polaris Dormitory, pass Mrs. Fumio's assessment, and obtain the qualification to move in (Completed)"

"Reward for the mission: 10 points" The system's voice appeared just as I received the key.

Soon, we arrived at room 304, took out the key, opened the door, and went inside. The room wasn't very luxurious; compared to the gorgeous and clean kitchen, it was really nothing special.

Although it wasn't great, the room was very clean, and it seemed like someone came to clean it regularly. It also had all the necessary items.

Compared to some schools, this is already quite luxurious. After all, it's for one person, so the room's location must be excellent. Since there aren't many people living here, even if someone does, they'll definitely choose the best room. The room isn't big, but it faces the sun, a very good location.

Su Luo put down her luggage, took out a quilt, and began to make the bed. After she had finished making it, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It's almost autumn now, but the weather is still quite hot. After being busy for a while, I'm already drenched in sweat, and my clothes are completely soaked. Wearing a suit feels very uncomfortable, sticking to my body.

Su Luo lifted her hat and took off her clothes, feeling much more comfortable. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I feel so uncomfortable. I'm going to take a shower."

Su Luo went to the bathing area and quickly took a shower. Normally, the bathhouse is for men and women to take showers in separate time slots, but fortunately it was noon, so basically no one would be taking showers there.

"That felt so good!" After taking a shower, Su Luo put on her clothes.

After getting dressed, Su Luo lay on the bed, reminiscing about her experiences since coming into this world. Before she knew it, almost two months had passed.

"Ring ring ring".

Just as Su Luo was staring at the white ceiling, lost in thought, the alarm clock on the bed rang, immediately pulling Souya back to his wandering mind.

Su Luo didn't even look at the phone number before answering the call, saying, "Hello! Moshi Moshi."

"Little Luo Luo, I heard you've entered Far Moon?" A middle-aged man's voice, full of masculine charm, came from the other end.

"Did that old man from Totsuki tell you, or did Uncle Dojima Gin tell you?" Su Luo didn't even need to think to know that her father would know about this kind of thing. Either it was Senzaemon who told him, or it was Dojima Gin.

"Hehe!" Yukihira Joichiro didn't speak, but his excited mood could be heard from the chuckle. However, he was still very puzzled. He knew that his son hated cooking, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Don't you hate cooking? Why are you going to Totsuki now? Even if you're going, you should have told me first!"

"Why are you asking this? Haven't you always hoped that I would learn to cook?" Su Luo didn't answer the question, nor was she in the mood to give a perfunctory answer. Was she going to say something like, "Your son is dead and I've taken his place"?

"If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it." Although Ichiro didn't know why Su Luo suddenly went to learn cooking, he was still very happy about it and didn't want to force him to answer.

Because Su Luo would never say something she didn't want to, even if it meant death, there was no point in asking. Even if you did ask, you wouldn't get any answers.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Child's Age is a Secret

"Soma passed too, right?" Joichiro asked.

"Didn't you already know?" Su Luo rolled her eyes, speaking in a tone that implied she was an idiot.

If Joichiro knew that Su Luo had passed, then he must also know whether Soma had passed or not.

"Hehe!" Joichiro laughed awkwardly, feeling that he had really asked an idiotic question.

Seeing Shiro's embarrassment, Su Luo asked, "Are you very busy right now?"

"kindness!"

"Then you go ahead and do your thing! I'll hang up now." Su Luo hung up without waiting for the other person to speak, showing no courtesy whatsoever.

After hanging up the phone, Su Luo let out a soft sigh of relief.

To be honest, Su Luo really didn't want to talk about this topic, because it made him feel like he was taking away other people's affection to get this kind of family affection.

Originally, there were no plans, but the sudden mission forced Su Luo to start planning again.

Su Luo started preparing for tomorrow's food battle. She originally planned to make dumplings, specifically the dish that Erina used in the food battle in the original work, so that she could disgust Erina. But then again, it seems that Erina didn't offend her.

However, after thinking about it, well, it was just that when I was being assessed, they ignored me and left. Well, I don't hold any grudges. Yes, I don't.

After thinking for a moment, a wicked smile crept onto Su Luo's lips. Having made up her mind, she began to make preparations.

After lying in bed for a while, my stomach started growling, it seemed like it was time for lunch.

dong dong!

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Su Luo put on her shoes, opened the door, and saw the person who came in saying, "Su Luo-jun, let's go downstairs for dinner together!"

This dormitory has its own kitchen, because everyone here is a chef, so there's no need to eat out. The academy doesn't have a cafeteria, although there are restaurants, but most of the time you cook for yourself.

"Great! I was just about to go out." The person who came was none other than Tadokoro.

Su Luo and Tadokoro went downstairs together and walked to the restaurant. By then, almost everyone in the dormitory had arrived, except for Isshiki Satoshi.

After walking in and looking around, Tadokoro asked, "Where's Isshiki-senpai?"

"Isshiki-senpai had something to do today, so he came back at noon," replied the more lively Yoshino Yuuki.

Yoshino Yuki

A first-year female student at Totsuki Academy's high school, and a student in dormitory number 116 of Polaris Dormitory.

A master of wild game cuisine. A cheerful and energetic girl. She keeps animals in her dorm room for food, often causing commotion as the animals escape. She hopes to breed a "Polar Star Chicken" like the French Bresse chicken.

"Isn't this newcomer going to introduce herself? Otherwise, she won't get any food!" At this moment, Ryoko Sakaki, sitting in a chair, touched her reddish-brown hair, seemingly noticing Su Luo, and said.

榊凉子

Nickname: Fermentation Shop

A first-year female student at Totsuki Academy's high school, and a student in dormitory number 112 of Polaris Dormitory.

A first-year high school student, a beautiful girl with long hair. She is skilled in cooking with koji (a type of fermented rice).

"Hello everyone, my name is Su Luo. I hope you will take care of me in the future." Upon seeing this, Su Luo walked up confidently and said.

Since Soma hasn't returned yet, the hat hasn't been put on.

"Wow! Little brother, you're so cute!" Ryoko Sakaki, this gentle and mature woman, was immediately attracted by Su Luo's adorable appearance.

Tadokoro, standing to the side, was immediately dumbfounded. He had only ever heard that women were fickle, but now he had finally seen that children were fickle as well.

"My older sister is cute too!" Su Luo continued, trying to sound adorable.

"Hehe! Little brother, you really know how to talk." Ryoko Sakaki said with a smile.

"How about we have a welcome party?" At that moment, Yoshino Yuuki, who was usually quite outgoing, clenched her fist and draped it over her other hand, making a decision.

“Okay!” Aoki Daigo and Sato Shoji, two boys with questionable character, agreed.

"Whatever!" Ibuzaki Shun said when he saw everyone looking at him.

"Thank you all for your kind offer, but let's not bother!" Before anyone else could speak, Su Luo took over and said.

"Why?" Everyone looked at Soya with confusion.

Su Luo couldn't stand being stared at like that, so she said, "Because there's another person coming, they'll be here around tonight, so let's all go together then! Besides, it'll be more atmospheric at night, won't it?"

"Oh! Alright then!" After hearing Su Luo's explanation, everyone understood and didn't insist.

Soon, a boy emerged from inside. He wore glasses, had an average appearance, and looked rather frail. He was carrying several bowls and said to the people there, "Can't you help me out?"

Zenji Marui

Nickname: The Taste Guru

A first-year male student at Totsuki Academy High School, dormitory 205 of Polaris Dormitory.

Nicknamed "The Erudite Doctor of Taste." He wears glasses, and his room is often used as a party space.

Although unremarkable and physically weak, he is actually a force to be reckoned with, possessing a wealth of knowledge. As a first-year student, he became the ace in the "Imperial Study Group," a place for researching and analyzing classical literature related to food.

Soon, several people went in to serve the dishes.

The lunch was served today. This year, it was prepared by Marui Zenji, and the dish was udon noodles.

Su Luo was quickly given a bowl. The bowl was completely covered in noodles, with various dishes arranged on top: fish cakes, shrimp, radishes, fried tofu, greens, sausage, half an egg, and other ingredients. The variety of ingredients was impressive, and it was enough to meet her lunchtime energy needs. The colorful combination was eye-catching and made her look very appetizing.

After receiving the food, everyone started eating. After taking a bite, Yoshino Yuuki exclaimed, "Marui's cooking is still so delicious."

The others remained silent, continuing to eat diligently. During the meal, everyone began to chat, and Sou naturally 'met' them, except for Isshiki Satoshi, who had not yet returned.

"Little brother, how old are you this year?" Ryoko Sakaki asked while eating.

"Please don't call me little brother, okay?" Su Shilu really couldn't understand why Sakaki Ryoko called him little brother as soon as she saw him. This made him speechless. He wasn't little at all. He was already eleven or twelve years old and about 1.6 meters tall.

“Okay, little brother.” Ryoko Sakaki said with a grin, showing no respect whatsoever.

"..." Su Luo was completely defeated by this, and her face fell in embarrassment.

"You still haven't answered me?"

“Sakaki Ryoko-neechan, don’t you know that a child’s age is a secret?” Su Luo said when she saw that Sakaki Ryoko was still pressing the issue.

"..." Upon hearing this answer, everyone was immediately bewildered.
