Chapter Sixty-Six: Cerberus Who Ate Chocolate, Danger! (Please Subscribe~)

At the entrance of Totsuki Academy, Rindou Kobayashi and Momo Akanekubo were waiting for Erina. Rindou Kobayashi smiled and said, "Erina is surprisingly dutiful."

Momoko Akane, holding Butch, said with disdain, "Gentian Cotton, not everyone is as carefree as you!"

"Aren't you too?"

Momoko Akane remained silent. Although she was well-behaved, she was somewhat willful due to Kobayashi Rindou's influence and often skipped work. However, she didn't skip work to pursue a relationship.

"Hey? Why are you guys here so early?"

When Erina arrived, she found it strange to see the two people waiting at the door. Kobayashi Rindou and Akanekubo Momo exchanged a glance but didn't say anything. They simply opened the car door and got in without any qualms.

Erina sighed; she felt like she was turning into a taxi driver...

"Erina, what were you doing before? Why are you so late?"

Erina said seriously, "I took notes. What Manager Shiraha talked about today was very useful, and almost all of it was stuff I didn't know, so I organized my notes. I really owe this to Hisako~"

Hisako scratched her head and said, "Erina-san, it's okay. I'm not as good as you guys, Erina-san. There were a lot of things I didn't understand, so I could only take notes..."

Momoko Akane looked at Hisako and said, "I remember Hisako's cooking is quite good... It's probably because she specializes in medicinal cuisine that her progress is a bit slow. She could try other areas."

Hisako asked in confusion, "But, Akanekubo-senpai, aren't you also an expert in sweets?"

Momoko Akane rolled her dead fish eyes and said, "Momoko is just the best at making desserts, and she loves to eat desserts, but that doesn't mean that my other dishes are worse than those of ordinary students."

Hisako nodded, and Erina thought for a moment and said, "Hisako, why don't you come to Manager Shiraha's place when you're doing your fieldwork too!"

Hisako quickly waved her hand and said, "Erina-san! No way! Not to mention that my strength is far inferior to that of my seniors and even to you, Erina-san, I simply can't go to Shiraha-sensei's shop, since it's one of the Elite Ten's shops!"

Erina nodded, also feeling a little regretful. She really hoped that Hisako could go to Shiraha's place to study with her. After all, although Hisako was a secretary, in Erina's heart, Hisako was also her best friend.

While they were chatting, Bai Yu had also prepared the food. Because he needed to make chocolate biscuits for Lucifer, Bai Yu chose Western food instead of Chinese food.

"What is this?"

Lucifer pointed at the strange-looking dish in front of him and looked at Bai Yu with a puzzled expression. Bai Yu followed Lucifer's finger and then smiled and said, "This is baked wontons~"

"Baked wontons? What is this...? Eh?! Is this... cheese?!"

Bai Yu looked at Lucifer, who seemed to have discovered a new continent, and said with a smile, "Yes~ it's cheese-baked wontons~ It tastes pretty good~ It's considered one of the classic Western dishes~"

Lucifer nodded, clearly quite interested in this thing called cheese, while Cerberus, on the other side, was busy gnawing on a large tomahawk steak.

Even in human form, Cerberus still had a natural fondness for meat, and Bai Yu placed a colorful object on Cerberus's plate.

Cerberus was taken aback, holding the steak and asking in confusion, "Master, master, master! What is this? It's colorful! It's so beautiful!"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "This is French vegetable jelly~"

"Oh, wait... vegetables?"

Bai Yu said with a slightly helpless smile, "It's true that dogs like to eat meat, but you also need to pay attention to a balanced diet. They should eat some vegetables too."

Cerberus looked at the vegetables in front of him as if they were a formidable enemy, which made Bai Yu feel a little helpless. He really was a serious picky eater. In the end, his master's words prevailed over his thoughts about meat. He picked up a fork and put a whole piece of vegetable jelly into his mouth while pinching his nose.

At first, Cerberus was quite upset; she couldn't believe she was going to be a vegetarian! But after taking a bite, she was stunned, and then chewed a couple more times.

"Wow! Master! Is this really a vegetable?! It's so delicious! It's so sweet!"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Then eat more! Make sure to have a balanced diet of meat and vegetables!"

Unlike Cerberus, Lucifer ate every dish, but she was more interested in the French baked ravioli, or more precisely, she was more interested in the cheese.

"Hey? Where are you going?"

Halfway through the meal, Bai Yu suddenly stood up. Lucifer was taken aback and asked in confusion. Bai Yu smiled and said, "Go get tonight's main dish~"

"main character?"

Lucifer suddenly became interested. A dish that Bai Yu specifically mentioned as the protagonist must be delicious. The cheese-baked wontons she had just eaten had already made her like this thing called cheese.

The wonton wrappers, neither too thick nor too thin, with just the right firmness and a slightly charred edge, were filled with meat filling soaked in rich and fragrant gravy. The moment she took a bite, the initial rejection from her teeth told her just how addictive this treat was.

The melted cheese coating the wontons adds a wonderful texture and enhances the flavor. One bite and all you can think of is satisfaction.

Now that Bai Yu was about to present an even more impressive dish, Lucifer had to admit she was tempted, genuinely tempted. But her heart quickly wavered...

Lucifer smelled a familiar scent, or more precisely, the scent of a familiar ingredient: chocolate.

When Bai Yu came out carrying a plate of chocolate crepes, he saw Lucifer staring at the crepes with a displeased expression. Bai Yu smiled and said, "Hmm~ Lucifer, why don't you try some?"

Lucifer snorted, then picked up a crepe in front of him and took a bite. His pupils contracted. The rich chocolate sauce and the uniquely fragrant crepe, though simple, offered a taste that was more than just one plus one.

Cerberus looked at the chocolate crepe in front of him and muttered, "Master's chocolate crepes are still the best..."

"Cough cough!"

Cerberus immediately fell silent, and somewhat impatiently took a thin pancake that a normal dog couldn't eat and took a bite.

Bai Yu looked at Cerberus with some nervousness, because chocolate could cause theobromine poisoning in dogs, leading to their death. Cerberus wouldn't die, but he was afraid something else might happen.

"Wow! This is so delicious! Master, master, master! Can I eat more?"

Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Cerberus was alright. It seemed the chocolate had no effect on Cerberus. Bai Yu nodded and said, "Sure~ If you don't feel anything wrong, you can eat it~"

Cerberus was happily eating a chocolate crepe in one hand and a tomahawk steak in the other, his smile never fading. But after finishing the third crepe, Cerberus's smile froze.

Bai Yu and Lucifer had already finished eating and were just watching Cerberus eat when they noticed something was wrong. Bai Yu asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Cerberus, are you choking?"

Cerberus frowned, a cold sweat breaking out on his face. He put down the steak and said in a trembling voice, "M-Master! My...my stomach hurts so much! I need to go to the toilet!"

Bai Yu's lips twitched. He wouldn't die, but would he get an upset stomach...?

Half an hour later, after Bai Yu carried Cerberus back to his seat, Cerberus immediately slumped onto the table, completely... no... the whole dog was in a terrible state.

Cerberus was completely unable to move just now. Lucifer wanted to help, but Cerberus almost fainted as soon as he touched him. Lucifer tried some magic, but found that it didn't work!

Bai Yu picked up Cerberus and ran towards the toilet, with Lucifer following behind. After entering the toilet, Bai Yu went out, and only after Lucifer helped Cerberus finish using the toilet did Bai Yu carry her back.

Cerberus pleaded pitifully, "Master, master, master... I'll never eat chocolate again... My stomach hurts so much..."

Bai Yu sighed and went back to the kitchen to get Cerberus a hot water bottle that he had heated up for Cerberus while he was in the toilet.

Cerberus felt an unprecedented sense of comfort while holding the hot water bottle. She didn't know why magic was useless and why she couldn't digest the chocolate with her magic power. Just now, she felt like she had seen that damned God in the sky.

"Well...."

Just as Bai Yu was wondering why Cerberus suddenly made such a sound, he saw Cerberus pick up the tomahawk steak again and start eating it. However, this time he didn't enjoy it as much, eating it in small bites.

Lucifer said irritably, "Even like this, you're still eating?"

Cerberus muttered, "How can I have strength if I'm not full... Besides, food can replenish my stamina and magic..."

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head without saying anything. Lucifer continued eating his chocolate biscuits. Bai Yu cleared away the dishes that had been finished, leaving only a plate of chocolate biscuits and the tomahawk steak that Cerberus was eating.

Because of the Cerberus incident, it was time to open the door. As soon as Bai Yu opened the door, he saw Kobayashi Rindou and the others walking over.

Rindou Kobayashi waved and shouted, "Yo! Shiraha! We're here!"

Bai Yu nodded, and Erina walked over to Bai Yu and said, "Thank you so much for your lesson today, Manager Bai Yu. I learned a lot."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Learning isn't important—understanding it thoroughly is what's truly useful. Have you ever seen an internationally renowned chef strictly follow the instructions on a recipe?"

Erina nodded, but before she could speak, she heard Rindou Kobayashi's voice. Rindou Kobayashi exclaimed, "Oh my god! Cerberus! What's wrong with you?"

Erina and Hisako peeked into the shop. Shiraha walked in and, seeing Kobayashi Rindou and Akanekubo Momo surrounding Cerberus, said with a smile, "Cerberus just had an upset stomach~"

Kobayashi Rindou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, it was just an upset stomach~ I thought something was wrong... Are you alright now~ Cerberus? Don't eat that for now~"

"Ugh!"

Cerberus looked at the steak that Kobayashi Rindou had taken away with a reluctant expression, but still obediently lay still. Bai Yu smiled and said, "Alright~ What do you want to eat?"

Erina thought for a moment and said, "Manager Shiraha, I would like to order a borscht and a chicken saffron. I didn't quite understand these two dishes during class today."

Bai Yu nodded and said, "No problem. As for drinks, I'll order you a white rose grape sparkling water."

"Ok!"

After Kobayashi Rindou and the others finished ordering, Bai Yu returned to the kitchen. After everyone sat down, they looked at Cerberus, who was lying there like a salted fish, and felt somewhat helpless. What kind of situation could make this lively girl so listless?

"Grandpa! It's getting dark! Shouldn't we get going?"

Hearing Alice's words, Senzaemon put down the last document in his hand and said, "You little rascal, you waited until I finished my work before you spoke. Were you getting impatient?"

Alice blushed and said, "No, I just want to try Manager Shiraha's cooking, and of course, most importantly, I want to learn from Manager Shiraha."

Senzaemon looked at Alice, who now finally understood that specializing in molecular gastronomy was a dead end, and nodded in satisfaction. To him, Shiraha was more like a friend, and Shiraha's appearance had brought the Nakiri family too much luck.

"Okay! Let's go!"

"Yay! Grandpa, let's go! I've already notified the driver, he's waiting downstairs!"

"Haha! You clever little girl, even drivers get tired. Alright, let's go!"

After Alice Nakiri and Senzaemon left, the light in the office where Totsuki was last working also went out. But people who work there will go to a brighter place to reward themselves for a hard day's work.

"Chuangtai~ Mom's not home tonight, what do you want to eat?"

In front of a house, a brown-haired girl who had previously left Katagiri High School asked a silver-gray-haired boy beside her this question.

Sota thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat hamburger patties!"

"Hmm~ Is there anything else?"

"I don't know! You decide, Onee-chan~"

"Okay~ to be honest, I'd like some soup today~"

The siblings, carrying a bunch of groceries, noticed something was wrong as soon as they entered the house. After pressing the light switch twice, the girl sighed and said, "Why is the power out...?"

Sota tilted his head and said, "Onee-chan~ So what are we having for dinner tonight?"

After thinking for a moment, the girl said, "Looks like I'll have to order takeout... Wait... I don't think I need takeout..."

"Huh? Are we going to have instant noodles?"

"Of course not, how can you boil water without electricity? It's a restaurant my friend recommended, they say has amazing food!"

"Oh!"

The girl found Nanami Fukami's phone number and dialed it. The call was answered shortly after, and Nanami Fukami said with a smile, "Oh! It's Hori! What's up?"

"Huh? A power outage? Oh! Right! It seems like they're doing cable repairs over there, so the power's out."

"That shop? Okay, I'll send it to your email."

A few minutes later, Hori nodded at the address sent by Nanami Fukami and said, "Hmm~ It's not too far~ Let's go~ Souta! I'll take you to eat something delicious!"

"Oh! Great! Onee-chan! Is that restaurant delicious?"

"My friend said it's the kind of delicious food you'll never forget after trying it~ and it's also very cheap~"

"Eh? I'm really looking forward to it~"

"Right? Let's hurry up and go!"

"it is good!"

As dusk settled in the night, a brother and sister made their way towards the tranquility next to the bustling city. They watched the busy streets, the sign that night was the beginning of day, and also the start of a group of people relaxing...

The night was quiet and peaceful... Pedestrians were filled with joy, weariness, anticipation, and hurried on their way...

The shop became lively with the arrival of Kobayashi Rindou and the others. Lucifer, for some reason, loved the chocolate crepe so much that he couldn't stop eating it.

While sipping his milk tea, Kobayashi Rindou smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so interested in chocolate chip cookies, Lucifer..."

Lucifer thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, I just feel like I should like eating this... I don't know why~" (laughs for safety~)

Momoko Akane, resting her chin on her hand, said, "Is it really that amazing...? Is this some kind of inspiration?"
