"Of course! This kind of thing needs to be carefully considered!" Erina Nakiri nodded.

She had also spent a lot of time before making her final decision. She naturally wouldn’t demand Asahi give her an answer right now—

Hearing this, Asahi Saiba also breathed a sigh of relief. He indeed needed time to calm down right now—otherwise, he really couldn’t think seriously under such circumstances.

....

Afterwards, Asahi Saiba and Sarge temporarily stayed at WGO. While both were Midnight Chefs, and WGO people didn’t welcome Midnight Chefs—

—They were both subdued by Yuuki.

Yuuki’s prestige at WGO was second only to Mana Nakiri’s.

In fact, everyone knew it was only a matter of time before Yuuki surpassed Mana.

With Yuuki as their backer—no one dared to say much in front of the two, at most just muttering some complaints behind their backs.

....

In the following time, Sarge learned a lot of secretarial experience from Hisako Arato.

However, in terms of Culinary skills, Sarge was countless tiers stronger than Hisako... In terms of being a secretary, Hisako was a true veteran!

The two could also be considered to be learning from each other. Sarge learned secretarial experience, while Hisako learned Culinary skills.

Sarge was a bona fide Chef very close to the First Class level. A Chef of this level was not comparable to Hisako—

Hisako wasn’t from Polar Star, so her Culinary skills weren’t much different from the original story. She wasn’t even a Senior Chef yet, though she was very close.

Sarge’s Culinary techniques and experience were enough for her to study for a very long time.

Actually, during this period with Yuuki—he would also teach them. With Yuuki’s guidance, their Culinary skills improved not slowly, but it still required time to settle.

....

A week later, Asahi Saiba made his decision. He, just like in the original story, joined the Nakiri family, changing his name to Asahi Nakiri.

For him, his father, Azami Nakamura, was not suitable to be family. But Erina Nakiri really cared about him, so he also cared very much for this younger sister.

After learning that Erina liked Yuuki, Asahi began to find all sorts of ways to create opportunities for the two to be alone.

Erina was quite grateful for this—

Though they hadn’t spent much time together, there was no sense of unfamiliarity or estrangement.

....

Just like that, a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The Stagiaire event was also considered over.

Yuuki planned to pack his things and return to Tōtsuki. During this period, Yuuki received a Large Bait. The harvest from this Large Bait was very special.

Yuuki was already used to Large Bait fishing out Secret Techniques and special abilities.

But this time, what was fished out was actually a recipe for a potion.

This potion recipe originated from the world of Toriko and was developed by IGO (International Gourmet Organization). Its effect was very simple and crude:

—To transform poultry.

Increase the meat yield and make the quality of the ingredients better.

This potion could raise the meat quality of average poultry to a level just below a level 1 creature—that is, the level of White-Haired Cinderella Beef.

Although not yet level 1, ingredients just below level 1 were also better than any ingredient in the Food Wars world.

Most importantly, the things in this potion recipe could all be found in the world of Food Wars—it didn’t completely require things from the world of Toriko.

The effect of this potion was very good.

After injecting it into normal poultry, the transformation would be complete in just a week. Unfortunately, the effect of this potion couldn’t be completely passed on to the next generation—

—While the next generation would retain some effects, they would be weakened. After three generations, the potion’s effect would disappear.

But even so, it was enough.

The materials for this potion recipe weren’t precious or hard to find. This was equivalent to giving Yuuki a stable source of ingredients.

Although he could often fish out ingredients from the world of Toriko with Small Bait, and there was also a chance to fish out ranked ingredients, the quantity was always limited.

It was enough for Yuuki to eat himself and occasionally treat the people around him. But if there were more people, it wouldn’t be enough.

Yuuki had already used his authority at WGO to find the materials for the potion and had even made some finished products.

But now he was going back to Tōtsuki, so Yuuki didn’t experiment at WGO.

He planned to go back and try it on the chickens and ducks Yoshino Yuki raised. It was a good chance to help Yoshino realize her dream.

Wasn’t she solely focused on wanting to research the so-called Polar Star Chicken?

Now the opportunity had come—

....

Soon, everyone returned to Tōtsuki.

Sarge and Asahi also came along to Polar Star.

While they weren’t Polar Star residents, nor were they Tōtsuki students, since they were Yuuki’s secretary and hired help, living at Polar Star was completely fine.

Polar Star only had so few people; there were still many empty rooms.

After seeing Soma Yukihira, Asahi didn’t react much anymore.

After all, he had now joined the Nakiri family and had a biological sister—he no longer needed to pursue a fake family.

He had given up his plan to replace Soma. At this moment, he was just simply curious about Soma.

"Wow, Yuuki! You went on a trip and brought back a great beauty! Aren’t you afraid Alice and Megumi will give you trouble?" Yoshino Yuki asked teasingly after seeing Sarge.

"Sarge is my secretary. She will help me handle various trivial matters in the future. There’s no other relationship."

Yuuki wasn’t afraid.

As the saying goes, "A clear conscience fears no accusation—"

He wasn’t like Azami Nakamura.

Sarge was indeed beautiful, but Yuuki now only intended to use Sarge as a secretary.

While he thought so, others didn’t.

Especially Megumi and Alice...

Sarge was very beautiful, had a good figure, and her aura was impeccable. Most importantly, she did cosplay.

That’s right, in their eyes, wasn’t Sarge’s attire just cosplay?

Sarge’s appearance made Megumi and Alice look at each other.

They felt a sense of crisis.

So, they decided to have a chat later. They could fight among themselves, but they couldn’t let an outsider take advantage.

....

Afterwards, Yuuki introduced Sarge and Asahi to everyone.

After learning their identities and Culinary skills, everyone was stunned.

They never expected these two, who didn’t look much older than them, would actually be Second Class Chefs, and both had Culinary skills to compete with First Class Chefs—

—These two could be said to be enhanced versions of Kojiro Shinomiya.

Others had only tasted Shinomiya’s cooking, but Soma had spent some time at Shinomiya’s place during his Stagiaire.

After a period of contact, Soma knew just how strong Shinomiya was. After all, the gap between a Senior Chef and a Second Class Chef was still very large.

Now these two were even stronger than Shinomiya...

Of course, what was even more surprising was that Yuuki had directly taken these two under his wing—

....

"Speaking of which, WHAT IS A MIDNIGHT CHEF?"

Soma Yukihira’s one sentence directly caused everyone’s brains to shut down.

This was like a Chef in the world of Cooking Master Boy asking what the Dark Cooking Society was.

Perhaps everyone was used to Soma frequently asking stupid questions, so they simply told Soma various information about Midnight Chefs.

"So there’s such a group of people in the culinary world! That’s quite interesting!" Soma, after listening, didn’t show the disgust, worry, or fear... but was very interested.

This was very in line with his character. What he cared about was only the strength of Culinary skills.

"It is quite interesting. But you’d better honestly improve your own Culinary skills. Otherwise, with your Senior Chef level skills against these guys, you’ll be eaten until not even bones are left."

Yuuki said, somewhat amused.

In the later stages of the original story, to accelerate the plot, the original settings were directly discarded, directly allowing Soma and the others’ Culinary skills to leap to the international level.

But now this was reality.

Soma’s talent was very good, not at all weaker than Asahi’s.

However, Asahi was still a bit older than them, so they still needed time to grow.

....

After everyone chatted for a while, Fumio Daimidō arranged dorm rooms for the two.

Since they were people brought by Yuuki, there was no need to say much more.

However, after arranging their rooms, two more people soon came to Polar Star.

"Erina? Little attendant? WHY are you guys here?"

Alice Nakiri was completely surprised after seeing Erina Nakiri and Hisako Arato arrive at Polar Star.

"Obviously—to move into Polar Star. We’ve already spoken with Auntie Fumio before!" Erina said with a smile.

Though there was an entrance assessment—with their Culinary skills, it was naturally almost too easy.

An Elite Ten member wanting to join Polar Star, and she was the Young Lady of the Nakiri family—Fumio Daimidō wouldn’t refuse...

"WHAT? You’re moving into Polar Star? Why?"

Hearing this, Alice was even more confused.

Initially, Senzaemon had suggested Erina move into Polar Star.

But at that time, Erina had refused. In the end, it was Alice who moved in and started chasing after Yuuki—

—Now Erina’s arrival made Alice feel an even greater sense of crisis.

Before, When she knew Yuuki and Erina were going to WGO together, she wasn’t very worried.

After all, based on her understanding of Erina, this girl wouldn’t directly cling to him; she would keep her distance from Yuuki.

But now it seemed everything wasn’t going in the direction she had guessed. And it was even the opposite—Erina’s personality had also become much more cheerful than before.

Alice could even see such a genuine smile on Erina’s face, which was absolutely impossible before.

If Erina could return to normal, Alice would have been happy in the past.

After all, they were still cousins, relatives. While there were some minor conflicts, it wasn’t some deep-seated hatred.

But now Alice couldn’t be happy.

Just having Sarge already increased her pressure immensely. Now Erina had come too, and even brought along a completely obedient little attendant. Honestly, a follower like Hisako Arato—anyone would be envious. Not only was her ability strong, but she was incredibly loyal, always siding with Erina in everything.

She didn’t even need to think to know that Erina coming to Polar Star was definitely for Yuuki—otherwise, there was no explanation for why Erina would appear here.

....

"Naturally, for Yuuki."

Facing Alice, Erina had no intention of hiding her purpose at all and said it directly.

As soon as these words were out, Alice was completely dumbfounded.

It couldn’t be helped, because these words came from Erina’s mouth. If it were anyone else, she wouldn’t be surprised...

But Erina saying it was completely different. She didn’t understand how Erina—this tsundere, could possibly say such a thing directly.

What she didn’t know was that although Erina was still a little bit tsundere, when it came to Yuuki, there was absolutely no tsundere-ness left—

—Erina knew very well that she hadn’t had much contact with Yuuki before, so compared to Alice and Megumi, she was definitely at a disadvantage.

To still be tsundere in this situation—there would be no game to play.

After all, tsunderes in manga usually appeared as the "losing heroine."

She didn’t want to become the "golden-haired loser." After untying the knot in her heart, Erina couldn’t care less about such things now.

And looking at Alice’s baffled appearance at this moment, she was quite satisfied.
