Food Wars, my food not only glows!

　Fireworks landed on the head of Tadokoro Megumi, who was the first to enter the yard. This celebration was held for her; she was the star of the party.

　Because Bai Yuan was reminded by Nakiri Alice before entering, he didn't compete with her for the first spot, which allowed the fireworks to hit the target smoothly.

　"Everyone..."

　Watching the fireworks fall from the sky, Tadokoro Megumi looked moved. Before she could say anything, Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko surrounded her.

　"I knew you could succeed, Xiaohui!"

　Yoshino Yuuki was beaming with excitement as she grabbed the other person's arm, as if she were the one who had succeeded, not Tadokoro Megumi.

　"Congratulations, Xiaohui."

　In contrast, Ryoko Sakaki was much more reserved, but I was still genuinely happy for her and congratulated her on winning first place.

　"Yuuki, Ryoko..."

　Looking at the two people in front of her, Tadokoro Megumi's expression became more moved.

　As a member of the Polar Star Trio, without their support, she wouldn't have survived until Bai Yuan arrived, let alone won the summer selection championship.

　If Bai Yuan had given her a second chance at life, then the two people in front of her were her pillars of support!

　"thank you all."

　Tadokoro Megumi said it sincerely.

　"Let's not talk about this now. Would you like to try some of my freshly brewed rice wine?"

　"I just made a flavorful roast duck, and it was pretty good!"

　When Megumi Dadokoro suddenly became sentimental, Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly retreated back to the kitchen to get the cooked dishes.

　"Champion, have a drink!"

　At the same time, a crisp sound rang out. Bai Yuan looked over and saw that it was Hisako Shinto, who was chugging beer, seemingly trying to drown her sorrows in alcohol.

　It's clear that Soma Yukihira's absence today really upset her.

　"it is good."

　Seeing this, Tadokoro Megumi did not refuse.

　She was in a good mood today and wouldn't refuse any request, so she sat down and started drinking with Hisako Shinto.

　Bai Yuan glanced at it, then went to the grill and rack and started grilling the meat.

　Seeing this, Alice Nakiri came to his side to help. Bai Yuan handed her meat with bamboo skewers, showing her thoughtfulness. At this moment, it felt as if they had returned to that night.

　"Pineapple and meat are a perfect match."

　Skewer the pineapple and pork together, then place them directly on the charcoal fire and sprinkle with a thin layer of salt. The rich aroma immediately fills the entire space.

　"The pineapple loses its moisture as it's grilled over charcoal, concentrating its sugars and making it even sweeter. The pork belly sizzles with oil, and one bite is incredibly satisfying!"

　Taking the skewers from Bai Yuan, Alice Nakiri opened her mouth and took a bite, a happy expression immediately appearing on her face.

　"Give me one too!"

　Megumi Tadokoro and Hisako Shinoto sat down next to Shirabuchi with their beers, their eyes filled with longing.

　"I want it too! I want it too!"

　"Don't worry, everyone gets one."

　As the atmosphere grew increasingly lively, Bai Yuan's smile remained unchanged. He enjoyed this kind of life, and he loved cooking happily surrounded by everyone.

　Chapter 219 Another One Falls? Busy Soma Yukihira

　The moon star is thin, and the black dragonfly flies south.

　Bai Yuan stood on the rooftop of the villa, gazing up at the starry sky. The sky was cloudless, and both the stars and the moon were very bright, creating an extremely beautiful scene.

　Just then, a figure appeared beside him. Bai Yuan turned his head and was surprised to find that the person was Nakiri Erina.

　Why is this guy suddenly running up here instead of attending the celebration downstairs?

　"Teacher Bai Yuan."

　The girl's eyes lit up when she saw him. She greeted him politely, then placed her hand on the railing and looked up at the moon in the sky.

　"The moonlight is so beautiful."

　Looking at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and recalling the magnificent sight she had seen between the moon and the sky not long ago, Erina Nakiri sighed from the bottom of her heart.

　"Yes, the moonlight is beautiful."

　Bai Yuan also spoke up, unaware that Erina Nakiri's gaze held a new emotion, and her face flushed red, showing a shy and fluttering expression.

　"Did Xiaohui confess her feelings to you?"

　He stared at Bai Yuan for a long time, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, Erina Nakiri's voice suddenly rang out, startling him.

　"That's right, how did you know? This happened not long ago, it should have been kept quite secret."

　Bai Yuan was somewhat surprised. Tadokoro Megumi had just confessed to him, so how could everyone know about it so quickly? Could it be that Alice told her?

　That shouldn't be the case.

　Although Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri have gotten along much better recently, they are now so close that they can talk about anything.

　Alice Nakiri would never casually reveal his secret to others.

　"Xiao Hui is a little drunk; she said so herself."

　Erina Nakiri gave the answer; she had been sitting next to Hisako Shirato.

　I saw her drinking with Tadokoro Megumi, and she brought up the matter when she got into the mood.

　She vaguely remembered Tadokoro Megumi's expression at the time. The usually quiet girl was beaming with excitement when talking about this, and she couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

　However, Erina Nakiri could understand her feelings to some extent. After all, for them, Hakugen was basically the most outstanding man they had ever met in their lives, the only flaw being that he was a bit of a womanizer.

　However, in today's world, being a womanizer is not considered a flaw.

　"Did Xiaohui say that herself? That's a bit unlike her usual self. It's probably because of the alcohol..."

　Upon hearing Erina Nakiri's description, Bai Yuan quickly guessed the result, then shook his head slightly, showing little emotion.

　Since you've agreed to be with Megumi Tadokoro, you should give her a proper status. It would be unfair to her if you were hesitant and unwilling to acknowledge it.

　"Have you agreed?"

　Listening quietly to Bai Yuan's murmurs, Nakiri Erina spoke, her voice carrying a strange emotion, somewhat difficult to utter, yet also sounding like a question.

　"Of course, Xiaohui is so outstanding, beautiful, and has a great figure. Most importantly, she has a gentle personality and genuinely likes me without any other emotions involved. What reason do I have to disagree?"

　As he listed Tadokoro Megumi's good points, the more he thought about it, the more he felt he had gotten a great deal, and the smile on Bai Yuan's face became more and more obvious.

　The other person could be considered a perfect married woman, and it was pure luck that she liked him; there was absolutely no reason for her to refuse!

　"Because she's pretty and has a good figure..."

　Erina Nakiri's attention was completely focused on those eight words, her pretty face visibly flushed red, and she lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.

　If we had to nitpick, she actually possesses those qualities as well, and might even have a better figure. What Tadokoro Megumi could do, she could do...

　As far as the eye could see, there was her proud chest; because of her body shape, her feet could no longer be seen after she grew up.

　If we really discuss it, she's got the right curves in all the right places, so if she confessed her feelings, Bai Yuan would most likely agree.

　After all, this guy looks like he's a lecher!

　Thinking of this, Erina Nakiri glanced at Bai Yuan with a subtle look in her eyes. Coincidentally, he also looked over at that moment.

　The moment their eyes met, the girl quickly looked away, unable to meet his gaze.

　"You suddenly came to me and said all this, could it be that you also have feelings for me?"

　Looking at Erina Nakiri's coy and affected manner, Bai Yuan's eyes showed a playful look, and then he reached out and pinched her delicate nose.

　"Huh? Ideas? For you? How could that be!"

　Having her secret exposed, Erina Nakiri panicked, raising her voice several octaves as she vehemently denied the fact.

　But as soon as she said it, she regretted it immediately and wished she could slap herself. If she didn't say those words, how could she confess her feelings later?

　"I was a little unsure at first, but after seeing your attitude, everything became clear. We only have one chance, so why don't we give it a try?"

　Bai Yuan was all too familiar with Erina's haughty little face, so he immediately opened his arms and made a gesture of embracing her, letting Erina choose.

　He doesn't dislike tsundere girls, but he also doesn't want their relationship to remain stagnant. If the girl doesn't take the initiative for a long time, it's not unreasonable for him to make the first move.

　"This is..."

　Hearing Bai Yuan's words and seeing the open arms in front of her, Erina Nakiri didn't know what to say, standing there unsure whether to move or not.

　So what choice will you make?

　Bai Yuan knew that if he didn't seize this opportunity to win over Nakiri Erina, he would have to put in a lot of effort later, and by then it would be too late.

　Erina Nakiri has also had a few drinks and is feeling dizzy.

　Otherwise, she wouldn't have come up here under normal circumstances even if she knew that Tadokoro Megumi had successfully confessed. She only came to ask because she was overwhelmed with emotion.

　"Is there any need to say anything? You've already decided everything for me. Please take care of me from now on, Bai Yuan... brother."

　Since things have already been said to this extent, she doesn't need to confess her feelings; Bai Yuan seems to be interested in her as well.

　Fueled by alcohol, Erina Nakiri finally stepped forward and threw herself into his arms, demonstrating her answer through her actions.

　He embraced the fragrant jade, the girl's body was a little hot because of the wine she had drunk. He savored the heat and reached out to put his arm around Erina Nakiri's waist.

　Suddenly, a hand wrapped around her waist, and Erina Nakiri's delicate body trembled, her entire body went limp, and her eyes became hazy at the same time.

　Bai Yuan naturally didn't stand on ceremony and lowered his head to kiss her. Everything happened so naturally until Erina Nakiri pushed him away because she had difficulty breathing.

　"hug..."

　Just as Bai Yuan thought that Nakiri Erina was conservative and that although she had thrown herself into his arms, she was not actually willing to kiss him easily, he was about to apologize and explain.

　Because the hug was a little uncomfortable, Erina Nakiri loosened her Totsuki Academy uniform, which had become increasingly ill-fitting over the years, and took the initiative to kiss him.

　Seeing this, Bai Yuan stopped thinking and hugged her tightly. Feeling the warmth of the girl's body, he felt a sense of peace inexplicably.

　"Oh, you've already hugged him."

　Outside the rooftop, Alice Nakiri, who had been secretly observing, started to cheer, with Leonora Nakiri standing beside her.

　The two of them also had smiles on their faces.

　"I told you they would make it tonight. I thought Erina could be a little braver, but I didn't expect it to be Brother Bai Yuan who took the initiative in the end."

　"If Erina were brave, she would have already taken the plunge. I guessed long ago that even if they succeeded tonight, it would definitely be Bai Yuan who took the initiative!"

　Upon hearing Leonora's words, Alice Nakiri revealed a confident expression.

　These two people in front of her were the people she knew best in Totsuki; she had already figured out their personalities.

　Having spent so much time with Erina Nakiri, doesn't she know what kind of person she is? She can't even utter a fart when they're alone together, let alone now!

　"Why are you two eavesdropping?"

　Feeling guilty and shy, Erina Nakiri stopped kissing the moment she heard Alice Nakiri's voice, and instead buried her head in Shirobuchi's arms like an ostrich, as if she thought that if they hadn't met, they hadn't been discovered.

　Bai Yuan, seeing his pleasant mood ruined, couldn't help but complain, while gently patting Nakiri Erina's back to comfort her.

　"We just came up out of curiosity. You two should be more careful. We're not in a room now; there are quite a few people outside."

　Alice Nakiri cautioned that she didn't want her man doing something naughty on the rooftop to be broadcast live by others, especially not to her...

　That's why she stepped in to stop them when they were about to take things further, to prevent them from making a mistake that would be irreversible.

　"I know! I'm not going to do anything really here, and I'm not that irresponsible."

　Bai Yuan was equally speechless. Did Nakiri Alice really think he was that lustful? So lustful that he would do it in public...?

　Faced with Bai Yuan's questioning, Alice Nakiri remained silent at first, but the subtle glint in her eyes was even more heart-wrenching than if she had given the answer directly!

　There was no way around it; Bai Yuan had done too many absurd things, especially after they started dating. As their relationship became more intimate, she was forced to unlock many new positions.

　It was precisely because she knew Bai Yuan was unreliable that she rushed out to intercept him.

　"You've digested enough, let's go downstairs and get something to eat. By the way, did you all drink? Are you planning to stay here tonight...?"

　"It seems like that's the plan."

　Bai Yuan grabbed the hands of Nakiri Alice and Nakiri Erina, and fled downstairs as if escaping under Nakiri Leonora's ambiguous gaze.
