Souma's P.O.V.

I'm glad that I get to talk to Kurumi before my Shokugeki, it seems that her advice is on the spot and her voice somehow calmed me down. Isshiki-senpai is still brooding over the fact that I didn't ask him for advice but he still wish me luck. I just have this certain feeling that Kurumi isn't an ordinary person, she is special.

Irecall what she said to me.

"You'll do great, don't worry. Just think about the perspective of the costumer, well you know what I mean, it has to be complete, don't just focus on a single part. You run a diner, right? So, that'll be easy for you. Goodluck, Souma-kun. I'm sorry I couldn't come."

With that I am confident that I will win.

***************
Kurumi's P.O.V.

I just received a message from Isshicchi a while ago that Souma-kun won. I didn't expect him to call me this morning 'tho. I had to excuse myself from Doujima-senpai just to answer the call. I'm happy for him that he won his first Shokugeki, I'm thinking of cooking him a new dish after the camp.

On the other side, Shinomiya kept on tailing me this last 2 days and I can't help but to fluster at every of his actions. He even tried to get me drunk. The nerve of him!

"Do you remember the day when you tried to burn the whole building because you had a little tantrum?" He continued sipping wine.

"No, I don't remember." I said while pretending to drink while thinking of a new recipe. Maybe I'll just cook him my version of Omurice.

"What? Even Hinako loved that." He chuckled.

"Whatever, Shinomiya. Why are you even here? Don't you have some planning to do?" I scowled. Or maybe I'll steal one of Kobayashi's recipes.

"It's already done. I'm here to accompany you, I won't be able to talk to you anymore once the training camp begins." I don't care.

I look at the crimson liquid in my glass, maybe drinking a little bit won't hurt, right? I'll just decide at school.

I drank all of it at once and put the glass gently on the table.
His eyes widen just in a second.

"I heard what happened to your boyfriend." He said as my frown deepened.

"Where did you hear that from? And it's EX boyfriend." I faced him.

"Doesn't matter. So, First seat of the Elite Ten, is he? You know, I was First seat, too." What the heck?

"I know that. What are you implying?" I filled my glass again and drank it in one go.
(She's still 16 as I was like, what the hell are you writing???? XD)

"Nothing, never mind." He scowled, drinking more.
"I did liked you once 'tho, but you're too young."
(What the heck???? XD *kills myself*)

"I do not know what are you talking about." I feel my cheeks burning, maybe because of the wine. I drank two more glasses.

"Look Kurumi, I just want us to be friends again, as a Senpai and a Kouhai. I'm truly sorry for hitting you and saying rude things to you. Just please..." He pleaded.

I looked at the sky dotted with millions of stars, it's pretty. We're currently sitting at my balcony in my room.

I was silent for a few minutes and he didn't force me to answer. My head's getting a little bit cloudy and my left eye is throbbing.

"Shinomiya, I think I had enough drink, let's call it a night." I stood up and when I took a step, the world seem to spin. I held on to my chair.

"Hey, be careful." Shinomiya said as he also stood up trying to help me.

It's not just the dizziness but my left eye hurt so much just like when I was in Shiomicchi's office.

I screamed in pain. Tears flowing.

"H-hey! What's wrong? Kurumi, answer me." I can hear him panicking as he tried to shook me carefully.

I pant as the throbbing worsened. She's trying to take over. No. I can't have that. I won't have him taking me to the hospital.

"Don't take me to the hospital. Don't call anyone. Just don't leave me. Promise that and I accept your offer." I said that while gasping for air.

"But you're in pain! Are you stupid?!"

"Promise me!" I grabbed his collar and looked directly in his eyes.

My sight got blurry and......I passed out on Shinomiya's arms.

Omake:

Shinomiya: *mumbles* oh my god! You're heavy.

Kurumi: *suddenly woke up* no, I am not! Authorcchi! Shinomiya's bullying me!

Shinomiya: I did not bully her! You're supposed to be passed out.

Kurumi: and you're supposed to be panicking! Hmp!

Me: shut up you two and do your job or else. *smiles creepily while readying a red scissor* *snip snip*

Both: Hai! We're sorry, Authorcchi/-chan! Please don't hurt me! *sweating bullets.*

Souma: Author-chan, why the short part? *cries a river*

Me: I will write what I want to write. Any problem with that? *evil glare* *snip snip*

Souma: *sweatdropped* N-nothing A-author-chan. You're s-scary.

Me: Good! Now, all of you, do your work! Dismissed!

All: Sir, yes sir! *salutes*
