Tear in My Heart [Nakiri Erina X Fem!Reader]

CHAPTER FOUR

"S-sorry," I muttered, facing away from the white-haired girl and her... boyfriend?

"Ah, you're Tanahashi (Y/N)?" queried the girl, I nodded in response.

"Pleased to meet you. I'm Nakiri Alice."

Nakiri... Wait; what?

"Are you related to Eri-chan?" I question, she chuckled as a response. "Well, yes."

"And I know who you are, Tanahashi-chan." She smiled, patting my shoulder. "I hope we meet again, Tanahashi-chan. Bye!"

She trailed off with her acquaintance, leaving me startled. "What just happened?"

I sighed, then continued to walk. What was going to be today's lesson? Oh, right. Basic Kitchen Stuff.

I then went into my classroom in my chef's outfit and began to cook.

A few hours later

I was silently watching television back in my dormitory, after cooking a bunch of stuff.

As I was about to fall asleep, I heard a knock on the door, "Come in." I state, drinking from my glass of water. When the door unlocked, I then noticed Yukihira with his signature look.

"What is it now, red for brains?" I say, focusing on the dancing penguins on the television.

Yukihira sighed.

"I might've got myself into a mess," stated Yukihira, chuckling nervously.

"Don't you always get into trouble?" I ask, clearly, not listening.

"I challenged someone into a shokugeki."

Wait... shokugeki? Isn't that, like, a food war? Where are two people in a duel but instead of weapons they cook?

As soon as I heard the word shokugeki, I turned my attention to my best friend, who was sitting across the coach.

"You WHAT!?" I shriek, then giving myself a facepalm, "I can't believe you challenged someone into a shokugeki. This is just too reckless of you, Yukihira!"

His hand ran through his hair then he let out a sigh, "I just wanted to challenge her." I groan at his response, then cupping my face with my hands. "Alright, what's the theme of the shokugeki?" I ask, "Seriously? You're going to help me?" Soma's face begins to light up, "Yeah, but not with the recipe. I'll give you financial help."

"YES!" My best friend says, then hugs me. "Don't touch me." I glare at him.

"Okay, If you get expelled by losing I'm seriously not gonna forgive you, ever," I say.

"Yeah, yeah. Leave this to me!" said Yukihira. "Alright. What's the theme?"

"A don."

"Don?" I tilt my head, "Like, don don? The one where there's rice in a bowl and eating it is like a full, balanced meal?" I turned to Yukihira, "Yup."

"Oh, don't you need like a slice of super fancy meat or something?" I ask.

"Not really, I have my ideas now."

"Oh? What is it?"

"A steak don. But with the cheap stuff." Oh God, this is going to be a disaster.

"Okay, tell me what you're gonna do," I say, turning my attention to the dancing penguins on the television again.

"It's like a steak, but there's like a whole lot of onion and garlic. I'm using beef sirloin." Stated the red-haired loser.

"You suck. That's like the last thing I'm gonna eat." I sassed.

"Do you have any food ingredients in your kitchen?" Said Yukihira, completely ignoring my roast. "Ask Yukio-kun, I usually cook for dinner, and I have no idea where he gets our ingredients."

"Alrighty then."

Yukihira then went out to find for Yukio-san, and I stayed in my room watching dancing penguins.

As soon as I got bored, I walked out of my room and headed towards the balcony for some fresh air. I noticed Erina talking to a blonde with brown skin, and I tried my best not to eavesdrop.

Is it possible that this blonde chick is who Soma is going to battle with? I thought, slowly eavesdropping.

"Do your best to beat Yukihira." I heard Erina say, wow, she's such a meanie. She's definitely in my top ten girls I want to date.

And as I was trying to listen to their conversation, I fell into a deep sleep.
