Food Wars, my food not only glows!

　"Hmm... let me think about it."

　With her finger to her lips in a thoughtful gesture, Erina Nakiri nervously clenched the hem of her clothes, fearing that the other person might say something she couldn't possibly accomplish.

　"Never mind, I haven't thought of anything yet. I'll tell you when I do."

　"you!"

　However, just as she was waiting anxiously for a few minutes, feeling the pressure making it hard for her to breathe, Alice Nakiri suddenly smiled and spoke.

　At that moment, Erina Nakiri realized that she had been tricked again. What a wicked guy!

　Thinking of this, Erina Nakiri couldn't help but grit her teeth. This guy was always like this, always finding ways to tease her.

　The key issue is that she doesn't really have a way to deal with her.

　Looking pitifully at Bai Yuan, Erina Nakiri made an angry face that seemed to say, "You'd better control her!" She was clearly furious.

　Bai Yuan could only smile helplessly at this.

　He couldn't interfere with the sisters' bet, so he shook his head, got up, took the cooled braised food from the refrigerator, and quickly cut it into appropriate sizes.

　“Take your respective portions and use them to compare your dishes. Make improvements when you get home tonight, and I’ll check on your progress tomorrow.”

　After cutting the braised food into appropriate sizes, mixing it with the sauce, and then distributing it to the girls waiting nearby, Bai Yuan gave them the order to leave.

　"Then we'll head back now, see you tomorrow."

　"Staying up all night to cook will definitely take the flavor of the braised dishes to the next level!"

　"The side dishes for dinner are sorted out."

　The girls understood Bai Yuan's meaning, picked up the takeout food from the table, and left one after another. They were already aware that their teacher had his own life and couldn't teach them all the time.

　Therefore, whenever Bai Yuan expressed his intention to disband, they would tactfully leave, at most asking a question before leaving to avoid annoying him.

　"Then I'll go practice my horse stance in the yard."

　As the last person to leave closed the door, Erina Nakiri went to the living room, looked outside, and then walked out into the yard on her own.

　This was a special tutoring session that Bai Yuan had given her, and she had been doing it for several months. In order to meet the minimum requirements for learning the Silver Chopsticks Ten-Pot Return technique and thus allow the God Tongue to grow quickly, Nakiri Erina could be said to be working very hard.

　"Go on, Hisako stays. Have you learned everything I just taught you?"

　Just as Shirabuchi was about to leave the kitchen to serve Erina Nakiri, Hisako Shirabuchi stopped her and asked a question.

　"I've almost learned it."

　"Then repeat it to me, and then follow the steps I just described."

　"it is good."

　After saying this, Hisako Shinto returned to the kitchen counter, closed her eyes, and began to recall Hakubuchi's cooking steps before starting to cook herself.

　She didn't look at the notes, as that would be disrespectful to Bai Yuan. He had gone to great lengths to teach her, and naturally he didn't want to turn her into someone who could only read recipes.

　Learn, then practice.

　I really won't look at a recipe again.

　Beside her, Alice Nakiri got bored after watching for a while, so she also ran into the yard and, in the manner of a senior sister, instructed Erina Nakiri on horse stance.

　Although Erina Nakiri found her somewhat annoying, she couldn't resist the effectiveness of her method and eventually reluctantly accepted it.

　Time passed little by little, and soon it was completely dark. Hisako Shinto brought her homework to Shirayuki and received his praise.

　"Not bad, it's at the level of a top-tier two-star restaurant. Take the rest of the dishes out of the restaurant."

　"it is good."

　The two carried the freshly cooked dinner and left the kitchen one after the other. Then, Bai Yuan went straight to the yard and called Erina and Alice to eat.

　"Are you hungry? Come and eat."

　Upon arriving in the courtyard, Bai Yuan saw Erina Nakiri, drenched in sweat, panting slightly as she performed a difficult move.

　"it is finally over."

　Upon hearing Bai Yuan's voice, Erina Nakiri felt as if she had found a savior. She immediately stopped what she was doing and returned to her original state, then ran to his side.

　"You haven't even mastered the basics, how can you start with advanced courses? I don't recall teaching you any of those. Did you teach Alice?!"

　Seeing that Alice Nakiri looked guilty and dared not look at him, Bai Yuan immediately understood everything, and then stepped forward and flicked her forehead with his finger.

　Besides her, no one else here knows about the advanced moves.

　"Well..."

　Alice was hit on the head and immediately crouched down, covering her head in grievance. She had kindly taught Erina a more advanced lesson, so why was she being scolded?

　"You need to practice horse stance for another three months before you can move on to the next step. Otherwise, your body won't be able to adapt, and it will cause damage to your body in the long run."

　After glancing at Alice Nakiri, Bai Yuan looked at Erina Nakiri.

　Does she follow suit just because the other person is being unreasonable? Doesn't she understand her own situation? Blindly practicing things that haven't been taught, isn't she afraid of causing trouble?

　"Yeah...sorry."

　Under such gazes, Erina Nakiri immediately spoke pitifully, looking like a little girl who had done something wrong and was afraid of being scolded.

　In contrast, Alice Nakiri was much more cunning. Although she was beaten up, she didn't show any remorse. Instead, she stood tall and proud, looking like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.

　Bai Yuan was also helpless about this. This girl was his wife. He couldn't hit her, but he could scold her until he felt good. He had really spoiled her!

　"You're going to get what's coming to you tonight!"

　Left with no other option, Bai Yuan had to resort to his trump card. Nighttime battles were the only weapon he could utilize, creating positions that were rather unacceptable to most, and also his unique method of punishment.

　Because he had watched many science-related short films in his previous life, Bai Yuan was quite knowledgeable about them.

　Blindfolding a person in the dark amplifies their senses, and then binding their hands and feet at that moment...

　Bai Yuan remained silent, only offering a cold laugh.

　"Sure, I'll accept it no matter what."

　Alice Nakiri blinked, unaware that the other party had already made up his mind. She thought that Bai Yuan was just talking nonsense and that the matter would pass. She stood up and came to him without batting an eye.

　"You said it yourself, so don't beg for mercy later. Begging for mercy will only excite me more."

　"I won't beg for mercy! Brother Bai Yuan, you're too arrogant. I might not be as good as you at cooking, but when it comes to this kind of thing, I have a lot of patience!"

　"Then we'll see."

　He pinched Alice Nakiri's cheek and laughed when he heard her provocative words. This girl had no idea what would happen tonight.

　Beside her, Erina Nakiri seemed a little confused, her big eyes filled with clear stupidity. She first looked at Alice Nakiri, then at Shirabuchi who was smiling, and was somewhat puzzled.

　In contrast to her naivety, Hisako Shinto, standing beside her, understood the deeper meaning in Shirai's words and immediately blushed.

　Although it's unknown what will happen between the two that night, it's safe to assume it will be something inappropriate for children and cannot be discussed.

　"Wipe yourself off, take a shower before you go back, and wear Alice's clothes. The temperature difference between day and night is big, and it gets quite cold at night, so don't catch a cold."

　He took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and thoughtfully wiped the sweat from Nakiri Erina's forehead. Then he took out a new tissue and handed it to her. After saying this, Shirayu walked into the inner room.

　"Thanks..."

　Looking at the paper in her hand, Erina Nakiri paused for a moment, then quietly thanked Bai Yuan for his retreating figure. When she looked away, she met Alice Nakiri's gaze and saw her ambiguous smile.

　"Remember not to forget our promise."

　Seeing Bai Yuan walk away, Nakiri Alice went up and patted her on the shoulder, then also headed towards the inner room. She was starving after a busy afternoon.

　"I see!"

　Hearing Alice's words and recalling their conversation in the courtyard, Erina blushed and became the third to step into the inner room, followed closely by Hisako.

　Soon, the four of them sat down at a dining table.

　The dishes on the table were all home-style fare, but each dish was shimmering with light, clearly indicating that they were dishes of at least the highest grade, seven stars.

　Faced with such a dish, no matter what's on the plate, they will devour it all. Wasting even a little bit is considered disrespectful to a dish of such caliber!

　And indeed, in less than ten minutes, all the food on the table was cleared away.

　There were only a few clean, unused empty plates left on the scene, making one wonder if they had ever been used before. This is the "flowing light cuisine".

　"I'm going to wash the dishes."

　After clearing the empty plates from the table, Shirayuki tied on an apron and went into the kitchen. At the dining table, Erina Nakiri watched this scene, finally mustering the courage to stand up.

　"Go for it, Erina."

　"I'll go help too."

　Watching Erina Nakiri's retreating figure, and recalling the resolute expression on her face as she stood up, Alice Nakiri murmured to herself, pressing down Hisako, who was about to go help.

　"What's wrong, Miss Alice?"

　Hisako Shinto looked puzzled as she saw the hand resting on her arm.

　"Let them have some time alone. Erina has something she wants to say to Shirayuki-nii. You'll just be a third wheel there, and it'll make her too embarrassed to speak."

　After giving a brief explanation, Alice Nakiri looked towards the kitchen with a look of pleasure in her eyes. Erina Nakiri had already arrived and was standing beside Shirabuchi.

　"Teacher Bai Yuan, I'll help too."

　Perhaps thinking about what she was about to say, Erina Nakiri was very nervous at this moment, and was taking deep breaths to calm herself down, her chest heaving noticeably.

　Chapter 213 Bai Yuan's Punishment, Loach Hot Pot

　It's truly magnificent.

　The tremors were so intense, they might even be more pronounced under her clothes than Alice's!

　Bai Yuan naturally noticed this, and the image of Erina Nakiri under her clothes immediately appeared in his mind. If all the restraints were removed and she maintained this position, the way she swayed would definitely be very eye-catching!

　"Teacher Bai Yuan?"

　Noticing Bai Yuanming's undisguised gaze, Nakiri Erina blushed slightly and gritted her teeth as she shouted, trying to pull him out of his reverie.

　By this point, she was almost certain that Bai Yuan harbored improper thoughts about her.

　In this sense, they are quite compatible; at least when she confessed her feelings to him, he could never refuse.

　Thinking of this, Erina Nakiri felt much relieved. What she feared most was confessing her feelings and being cruelly rejected.

　Not only would she not get love that way, but she would also lose the dignity they maintained with each other, which was something she absolutely could not accept!

　"Okay, these plates are yours."

　Turning his gaze away, Bai Yuan handed her several plates that weren't too dirty from the sink.

　It's worth mentioning that although these plates look clean, they were actually licked clean by the women, so they were quite dirty in essence.

　"it is good."

　Erina Nakiri nodded and accepted the plate that Shirabuchi handed her.

　Although I've never washed dishes at home, such clean dishes are simply rinsed twice with water and wiped with a sponge.

　Within a minute, Erina Nakiri had learned how to wash dishes, but her mind wasn't on the dishes; she was thinking about what she was about to say.

　She opened her mouth several times to speak, but swallowed the words back. Erina Nakiri really didn't know how to start the conversation; she had absolutely no experience in this area.

　"What do you want to say?"

　Seeing Erina Nakiri's hesitant expression, Bai Yuan keenly sensed something was wrong, so he put down the washed dishes and spoke.

　"Ah, no, um, actually a little..."

　Erina Nakiri was somewhat incoherent.

　Take a deep breath and get yourself in the right state of mind.

　Clenching her fists, it took her a long time to muster the courage. Nakiri Erina stared straight at Bai Yuan, her heart pounding with nervousness.

　"No, it's simply impossible!"

　Erina Nakiri tried to open her mouth but couldn't make a sound. Frustrated, she lowered her head. Just then, a warm, large hand reached out to her.

　Accompanying this was the boy's gentle voice.

　"It's okay, you can tell me when you're ready."

　Bai Yuan rubbed her large hands, as if petting a dog, smoothing her slightly frizzy hair. Feeling the faint warmth emanating from her hair, and smelling the unique minty fragrance of the boy, Nakiri Erina's face turned bright red.

　His already intense heartbeat became even more agitated, as if it were about to leap out of his chest, and Bai Yuan beside him could hear it clearly.
