Erina couldn't believe that her eyes weren't deceiving her.

No. It couldn't have happened. It just couldn't !

But it was right there — only inches from her face. The mere piece of paper used for transferees who'd wish to enroll in Tootsuki Academy as a student of their high school division; and on that very piece of paper laid firmly a small 4.5 picture of a certain teenage girl who was one year her senior — Ooka Minae.

The undeniable fact was like a slap to the face, and don't even get her to say that the supposed examinee had evidently, and purposefully ditched the entrance test and the open ceremony ! But no matter attending or not, her grandfather — Head Director of Tootsuki — would always save a place for Ooka Minae here in this elite cooking school.

Erina's jealousy hadn't stop skyrocketing ever since.

Yet, at the same time, fear and unconditional admiration was also in the package.

Completely shaken up and astonished till this day, Erina couldn't find it in her to sleep at night. Her eyes were wide open, their pupils dilated. Abruptly standing up, she finally decided to call for company, and who else was more fitting than her sweet secretary slash childhood best friend — Arato Hisako ?

Nervously picking up her phone and pressing in the right digits in order to reach other's, the blond blushed shyly while she waited for the ringings through her ears to end.

And when it finally did, Erina gulped like she had swallowed an extremely sour lemon. Damnit, her pride just had to calm down.

" Erina-sama ? Is there something wrong ? "

Deep breath deep breath deep breath ! " A-a-ah, uhm, Hisako. . ? Can you- can we- . . . Canyoucomebytomyplace ?! " Having rushed words out like never before, her face dusted a dark shade of red in meaningless embarrassment.

But fortunately for the Nakiri heiress, the lilac pink haired girl had gladly able to decipher the meaning and sympathized the former with a smile. " As you wish, Erina-sama. I'll be there right away. " and so the line went dead.

All throughout the night as soon as Arato Hisako had arrived, the two girls had been idly chatting non stop. The light hearted conversation began from the most random thing to downright ridiculous but nevertheless it was such fun for Erina since it had successfully taken her mind off from the matter involving a certain wolfish girl. That night, she was sleeping really, really soundly and she'd be damned if she wasn't content with it.

Morning came earlier than expected, or was it just Erina who felt that way but nevermind, not that it was a problem. She raised her arms to do a back stretch and hummed in satisfaction when she heard the nice pop in process. Glancing briefly to the spot besides her on bed where her friend supposed to be laying, the blond found it to be vacant but she wasn't surprise.

Two hours later and you would see a considerably tall sixteen year old girl donning Tootsuki's high school uniform while daintily drinking a cup of coffee on her hand — her personal aide stood not far behind respectfully. Though the quite, majesty even, atmosphere was ruined by a constant loud banging on the way-more-expensive-than-a-double-door-should-be in an impatient manner. The chef duo simultaneously frowned, a bit curious as well as to who was on the other side of the entry and didn't have enough decency to gently knock.

" Please wait for a moment ! " Erina herself called out while approaching towards the direction, however the unpleasant noise didn't seize down after hearing that. In fact, it seemed to have gotten more quickly, and harder too. ' Rude. Who does they think they is? '

And upon finally reaching the handle and opened it . . . Oh the good gods of heavenly food and their divine judgement, whatonearthwasshedoinghere ?!

" OOKA MINAE !?!? "
