Chapter 18: Tonkatsu
You placed your phone on the counter and took your ingredients.
"Hmm... You're definitely hiding something." Soma said as he tied his bandana on his head. "If I win this... How about you will tell me your secrets?"
"Fine by me." Asahi replied grinning.
"And Yoru-senpai's going to remove her mask." Soma said while launching an attack; Attempting to snatch your mask away.
"That's fine but that'll be after you won, not right now." you replied avoiding his hands.
"Alright then." Soma said giving up.
"But then it's unfair if Yoru and I, doesn't get something if we win! Right? Right, Tadokoro-san? You think so too, right?" Asahi childishly asked Megumi who panicked.
"Y-Yes?" Megumi replied rather uncertain.
"Hmmm~ If I win... You're going to treat me a (preferred drink could be hot choco or anything you want)." you replied making Soma look at your way.
"(Preferred drink)?" Soma asked repeating what you said as you nodded. "No problem! Senpai." Soma replied smugly.
You chuckled, "Really?" you asked as Soma nodded his head.
"If I win... Give me that knife." Asahi said cutting your conversation with Soma.
Soma turned serious as he glared at Asahi. "Hah?"
"You heard me kid." Asahi replied smiling seriously ay Soma. Soma frowned but turned his gaze at you while you were cutting vegetables.
"Yoru-senpai, can I have a taste of your dish too?" Soma asked.
"Sure, I was planning to make extras too." you replied smiling underneath your mask.
"Great! I'll let you taste one of mine too." Soma replied but still didn't talk to Asahi.
Asahi was getting pissed while watching Soma from the corner of his eye. 'Why is he already talking and acting comfortably with (Y/N)?'
"Are you okay Soma-kun?" Megumi asked worriedly as you continued to listen to them while preparing the rice.
"Yeah, I'll just give it my all like I always do." Soma replied. "I've powered up a lot in these past few months. I ain't gonna lose that easily!" he added grinning widely making you smile.
"Mm! You're right." Megumi replied.
"Okay, it'll be done soon. Time to fry up the meat!" Soma yelled.
You were currently stirring the white stock before putting the spices you had mixed. You looked at Soma and Asahi who were both close to finishing.
Soma noticed that you were staring, as he looked at you in return. Scanning everything about you to find out what you were thinking.
"You done checking me up?" you teased making Soma's face red as he focused back on cooking.
'There's something about her... That lures me in... What's underneath that mask? What is she thinking?' Soma thought. He finally finished frying his dish.
"Here you go! Cheese Fondue Pork Tonkatsu Combo Meal!" Soma yelled as he presented a perfectly fried and sliced katsu. A slice of lemon can be seen on top and a few shredded cabbage on the side.
A little black mug is also visible beside the plate, "Yoru-senpai!" Soma beamed as he placed the dish on your station. Asahi shot Soma a glance before smiling at you.
"So the cheese is in this little mug here?" Megumi asked while staring at the black mug.
"Yep! Now just dip the Katsu in!" Soma commanded as you obeyed quietly.
Soma was completely focused on Megumi tasting his dish while Asahi was focused on cooking his dish. You took this chance to remove your mask and tried Soma's dish.
You were expecting that it'll taste great like how he makes you impressed before. But you were disappointed after finishing his dish.
'W-What happened? Why is it like that?' you thought raising your brow confused before wearing your mask. You looked at your phone's screen when it lit up.
'Maybe because you have gotten used to eating foods made by Noirs?' Ryota replied.
'Did it affect my taste-buds also?' you thought confused.
'Maybe.'
"This dish has the techniques I learned at Yukihira Diner at its foundation with the polish of my Totsuki studies on top. That's my pork loin combo meal for ya!" Soma beamed.
Asahi grinned as you continued eating Soma's dish. 'My fresh and blood! It's almost like... A super-lit super-hype fry up!' Megumi sighed satisfied.
"Yoru-senpai!! How was my dish?" Soma asked you smugly.
"Hmm~ I haven't tasted both sides yet but it's good!" you replied making Soma laugh.
"Here you go." Asahi said as he served his dish. He looked at you and gave you a wink making you blush.
"A loin katsu, just like Soma-kun?!" Megumi shrieked.
"But the difference is the white sauce." you stated.
"Yeah there's no mistaking it..." Soma said looking down.
