Shokugeki No Souma (Fanfiction)

Chapter 32

I continued hugging Ericchi's arm refusing to let her go as we turned to Sekimori-san who already started giving us the instructions.

"Those of you who finished serving them dinner will be allowed to have free time. They are from Jowan University bodybuilder club members who're staying nearby. The American football club and wrestling club members will presently arrive, as well. Our dinner today consists of a steak set. Each of you will make fifty servings."

Everybody started panicking afterbhearing the news.
"Fifty servings each?!"
"Now?!"
"You've got to be kidding me!"

"Once you finish making 50 servings, you can make your own. I will also have you know that during your training camp, all breakfast and dinner meals will be prepared by yourselves. Lastly, of you cannot finish serving our guests dinner within the next 60 minutes, you'll be expelled on the spot. Begin!"

I grabbed Ericchi as I dragged her in to the kitchen without even bothering to change into our chef uniform anymore.
"Come on Ericchi. We shouldn't waste our time!" I laughed as I dragged her ignoring her pleads.
"Oww! My arm, Mimi! It hurts." She squealed.
"Nonsense!" I laughed some more until we're already in the kitchen, still without interferance because it seems that they still went to change. How convenient.
"Our bet starts now, Ericchi! Good luck!" I went to wash my hands and prepared my utensils. As I took out my ingredients, few students were already making their way to their stations. I started cooking then plating then served 10 trays at a time after Sekimori-san approved the servings. I'm also counting how many servings Ericchi has already done, we're still on par with each other. Fifty servings is not so difficult if you really put yourself into it. Everyone is getting frustrated but we kept our cool not wanting to distract ourselves with unecessary emotions. We're already on our last dish. I hurriedly put the dishes on the tray and quickly made my way to Sekimori-san. I eyed Ericchi as she is also taking big steps towards the table with confidence plastered in her face...
**********
I wiped the sweat on my forehead as I stare at Ericchi also panting. It was a good bet...although to both of our disappointment, nobody won. Technically, our tray touched the table at the same time. Even Sekimori-san said so that's why we can't disagree, but he congratulate us for being the first one to finished. By the time we walk away, everyone started to fight for the rice. I only scoffed while I followed Ericchi out of the kitchen.

"Too bad. I really want to feed you my latest dish." I groaned as I sat on a chair in the balcony just near the kitchen where we came from.

"And I really want you to cook me a decent meal, not your inventions." She also groaned as she try to fan her face.

"Ugh." I groaned more. "Nee, want to take a bath?" I turned my head to the blonde. I see her eyes sparkled and smiled.

"I think that would be good since Hisako is still not finished." She cheered.

"We'll meet at the bath area. I'm just going to take my things from my room. Is it okay with you? " I gave her my puppy dog eyes. She started giving off sparkles and hearts around her while I sweatdropped.
"It's fine! I'm going to say the same thing anyway."
I waved at her as I walked and at the same time ran into my room. It's been a while since I took a warm bath. I quickly grabbed my things and headed back to the bath area. I entered the girl's bath area and put my things down in one of the baskets. I took all of my clothes off and put it neatly in my basket, then wrapped myself with a towel. I took a peek while putting my hair up before entering the bath and felt joyful at the scene in front of me. It's huge and beautiful, but still no Ericchi present. Oh well, I might as well go in first. I  removed my towel and lowered myself in the luke warm water, relaxing every part of my body. Ahhh, this feels good.. I sighed happily.

"Ohh. You cheated Mimi. You went in first." I turned around and see Ericchi pouting as she also lowered herself in the water beside me.

"I just got here, Ericchi. Don't fret. " I looked at her and smiled.
"Ehh. You've grown, Ericchi. I'm jealous." I teased her as I wiggle my eyebrows. Her face went red as she shield her chest away from my prying eyes."Mimi...pervert."
"Mou~ why are you Nakiris have curvy bodies? " i pouted.
"I don't think this conversation is appropriate, Mimi."
"Hmm. We'll just enjoy the bath then." I closed my eyes, feeling every muscles in my body relaxed, and also my mind, releasing all the stress that accumulated this past few days.
"Waah~ this is nice. We have the bath all to ourselves." We both sighed happily.

Few minutes have past when I already feel light-headed.
"Ericchi, I don't feel nice already." I moaned weakly.
"Mimi, get out of the water already. You're going to faint. Geez, what happened to you?" She wisked me off worriedly as I got out of the water and wrapped myself with the towel.
"I guess I outwelcomed my stay here. I'll be off first, Ericchi." I smiled weakly as I suddenly felt dizzy. I walked away and dried myself.
****
I'm on my way back to my rooom as I wobble when I met Hisako.
"Oh, Akashi-sama. Are you okay?" She quickly went to me and checked.

"I'm just dizzy from the bath, Hisako. Don't worry. You should check out Ericchi, she's still in the bath." I smiled at her.

"Please don't hesitate to seek help from me, Akashi-sama. I would be honored to serve you just like I serve Erina-sama." She said as she help me stand up straight.

"Hisako, it's fine. I'll be glad if you keep on supporting Ericchi. I must go in my room now. Please check on Ericchi." I said as I admire the girl's patience especially when it comes to Ericchi, but compared to Ryo, I feel bad for him, obviously, Alice is a little bit hyper sometimes. I said my goodbye to the pink haired girl and wobbled my way back to my room.
I'll just eat later.
