Hope and Despair of Cooking [Shokugeki No Soma]

Chapter 11- Polar Star Welcome Party

Moka POV:

I walked down to Room 205 and looked through the crack of the door. From the looks of it, some of the dorm members were there, including Soma. Judging from the noise coming out of Room 205, the dorm members seem anno- wait, "hyperactive."

"I! Said! No! I have a written test to study for! Go use one of the multitude of empty rooms in this place for your party! Why must you always barge into my room for these things?" a guy with glasses raged. 

The girl who was chasing the animals from before answered him. "It isn't like we can go anywhere else, y'know. Your room is the biggest one in the dorm other than Room #306. Fumio-San wouldn't allow us to use that room. And you always keep your room neat and clean too."

"Don't sit on my bed without permission!" the guy with glasses continued to rant. 

When I walked inside the room, it was time stopped. Everyone in the room stared at me and it was dead quiet. I decided to break the silence with a simple greeting. I bowed at them and said, "I'm so sorry to intrude."

They were able to quickly snap out of it when two boys, one with dirty blond hair and one with black, bombarded me with dark red hues on their faces. The rest, even the girls, were gushing over me from a distance.Why does this always happen? Am I a magnet that attracts people?

"Hey beautiful, aren't you hot stuff? You single?" the guy with blond hair asked me. 

The guy with black hair pushed his "friend" out of the way and put his arms around me. I wanted to gag from his action but I kept my emotionless face on. "Don't mind that guy? So are you free? We should go somewhere you know?" I sweatdropped at both of their so called "conversation" with me. It was so bad that I wouldn't even call that flirting. Although, I've seen worse in my life. Once this drunk guy tried flirting with me, and before he could say anything, he threw up. Definitely the worst attempt in flirting I have ever experienced. Thank god I ran away before his barf got on me. 

A girl with long purple hair hit them for their rude behavior. "Don't scare her!"

Scare me? Barely. More like they weirded me out. A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G! 

The purple haired girl turned to face me. "I apologize for their behavior, Enoshima-San." 

"There's no need to worry. I'm used to this," I assured her. She smiled at what I said and I smiled back at her. It was basically a ghost of a smile though. Still a smile nonetheless! 

Soma smiled at me and I nodded in acknowledgement of his presence. Beside him, I saw a girl with dark blue hair. She had a gloomy aura around her and I knew. I knew that she was the girl Soma walked in on. I still felt bad for her. 

Third POV:

Satoshi walked into the room with an apron on. "Huh? It this all that came? Seriously? I thought I invited everyone in the whole dorm!" he exclaimed.

 "It's not surprising, y'know. You invite everybody in the whole dorm to something or practically everyday, Isshiki-Senpai. They're probably bored to it all," Shoji commented. 

"They can't be bored! I don't throw boring parties! At least Tadokoro comes every time, don't you Tadokoro?" Satoshi stated. 

Megumi sweatdropped at this and purple lines could be seen on her forehead. "But I gotta go. If I don't, he'll keep coming back to beg me every few minutes." 

"He'll give up if you ignore him long enough, y'know. Your too polite, Megumi," Ryoko deadpanned.

Just then, Satoshi started starting which later turned into a huge speech about youth (AN: Guy-Sensei from Naruto anyone?) "Friends! Classmate! Young scholars, living together under the same roof and eating together from the same pot. This is what it means to be young! This is what it means to be a student! My desires for exactly this kind of life is why I decided to join this dormitory. Come, everyone! Let us rejoice in the glories of dormitories life!"

Both Shoji and Daigo sweat dropped at his weirdness. "Uh, sure. That part sounds fun, but can you please stop crawling through the ceiling to get us?" Shoji grimaced.

Moka nodded in agreement. With Satoshi being a ceiling stalker, she's definitely worried about her privacy in her new dorm life. Satoshi greeted Soma and Soma happily greeted back. Satoshi welcomed both Soma and Moka along with the other dorm members. "Welcome to Polaris Dorm, Yukihira Soma, Enoshima Moka," he smiled. "EVERYONE LET'S HAVE A TOAST! EVERYONE TAKE UP YOUR DRINKS!"

Ryoko poured some rice juice for both Soma and Moka. Soma, being the "new and mature" one (AN: PFFFT! AS IF!) asked if it was okay for them to party out so late. 

"It's fine. There's nothing around us out here but woods and more woods, anyways," Ryoko answered.

"But, uh, won't the dorm matron--"

"HEY YOU KIDS!" Fumio spoke. "I made some yellowtail and daikon stew. Somebody come down here and get it!" In less than a second, Shoji and Daiko rushed out the door. 

"Really? Miss Fumio, you're the best!" Satoshi thanked. 

Soma was dumbfounded by this. "She doesn't care?"

"Be sure to grab it and get back before she starts rambling about the old Elite Council of Ten!" Someone from the room ordered. Soma was confused by the "Elite Council" and decided to ask about it.

Ryoko sweatdropped at his stupid question. "Hm? You're seriously asking that?"

"So-Kun, you really are stupid aren't you?" Moka nonchalantly commented. 

"Wow, you really did come here without knowing a thing about Totsuki," Yuki added. 

Ryko and Yuki explained the whole thing to Soma. They also explained why Fumio keeps talking about the Elite Ten. Suring the conversation, both Soma and Moka noticed the label on the bottle of the drink.

"HOLD ON. DON'T TELL ME THIS IS BOOTLEG..." Soma cautioned. 

"It's just made from rice juice. Honest~" Ryoko assured.

"From the way from phrase it, I somehow don't believe you," Moka hesitated. In the background, Yuki, Daigo, and Shoji were cheering about golden tea. 

Soma looked even more dumbfounded. "Whoa! This place is like lawless! And is everyone here some kind of weirdo?

Megumi sweatdropped. "Um, actually, I think you'll fit in fast, Soma."

"Agreed. After all, a weirdo attracts even more weirdos and So-Kun is one heck of a weirdo," Moka confirmed.

"O-oh! Enoshima-san! I didn't notice you there," Megumi sputtered. 

"There's no need to be formal. Just call me Moka."

"O-ok! You can don't have t-to be that formal with m-me either, Moka-Chan," Megumi beamed. 

"It's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance, Megu-Chan," Moka replied. 

"THERE IT IS! ISSHIKI-SENPAI'S 'WAIT, WHEN DID I GET NAKED UNDER THIS APRON' ACT!" Megumi and Moka turned towards the scene where Satoshi was butt naked. Moka spit out the juice and choked on it. 'MY MIND AND EYES IS SCARRED AGAIN! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PLACE DAMMIT!' Moka brooded.

"See? Soma fits right in," Megumi deadpanned.

"Yep. I don't think they're drunk either," Moka croaked out after recovering from choking. In the end, most of the people in the room, fell asleep. Not wanting to join them, Moka went back to her room and took a power nap.
