I was blinded

Dish 4: a big mistake

" Why is everyone in my room." I snapped as I knitted my eyebrows together.

" We're having a welcome party in Marui's room. "
" WHY IS IT ALWAYS MY ROOM!!!"

I could hear the wails of the unfortunate party.

Guess I'll try to save him.

I blinked twice before shifting to move towards my bed.

" I'm tired. "

" Come onnnnnn" the orangenette whined as she clung on my right arm. I never really caught her name.

Ah I tried.

" I don't even know you....." I mumbled out as I tried to herd the group of chefs out of my room.

" Doesn't matter! We're going to have so much fun!"

Next thing I knew.... I ended up in a room full of bottles of rice wine, weird looking snacks and a lot of people.

I quickly downed a cup of rice wine before slumping onto the wooden boards.

" Say.... Erin. "

I turned my head towards Yukihira.
" Yes?"

"So now you're gonna be joining our classes. Even though you're a Nakiri, I'LL BEAT YOU!" Or so the maple tree proclaimed.

" Joining your classes?"

I could only stare at that irritating slightly arrogant face. Why do I feel like smacking him.

" Oh I'm not joining your classes. "

All eyes turned to me, questioning the meaning behind my words.

" I'm joining as a teacher. I'm no longer a first year. "

The questioning gazes wouldn't budge.

" I'm 24 this year. "

I quickly covered my ears as screeches sounded, though failing to prevent my eyedrums from bursting.

" Wait.... Do you have the qualifications? I mean I don't mean to offend you-"

That's when I know I'm gonna get offended.

" But I haven't really heard of you before."

Ah there goes all my hard work.

" My home base is in China as of now. I've opened many restaurants there, though... So far I've been all around the world. My training as a Nakiri has not let me down."

"The Nakiris sound intense....." I heard a mutter.

I quickly nodded my head before continuing.

" Yes, well, anyways. I hope you will take care of me."

The party of course ended up with a couple of drunk students on the floor and half-drunk cups scattered around them.

This is ridiculous.

Didn't she say it was non-alcoholic?

Well I guess there's not much to expect from " rice wine".

I quickly gathered the cups together before throwing them into a nearby dustbin before heading towards my room.

Can't believe I got dragged into this.

Just before stepping through the doorway and into the comfort of my room, a slender hand stopped me palm against my chest.

" Ne senpai."
