"I'm back." When Liu Subaru returned to Jixingliao, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, but he believed that Chuangzhen and the others would still be playing cards, flying chess and drinking "juice" in Marui Zenji's room. I have never had the habit of going to bed early in the night.

After a sound of door opening and footsteps sounded on the second floor, Chuangzhen, Xiaohui, Yu Mei...all the students from Ji Xingliao crowded upstairs and looked in the direction of Liu Maoxing on the railing of the corridor on the second floor.

"Uh, don't you need to welcome me with such a grandeur?" Liu Subaru said in confusion.

"Hmph! The ghost wants to welcome you!" After Yu Mei said angrily, he turned back to his room and closed the door heavily.

"Axing! I heard...you went to the hot spring hotel for a date with Erina for three days?" Dawu asked excitedly.

"Eh? Hot spring hotel? How did I hear that I went to Mount Fuji?"

"No, right? I have real news. It was Ah Xing who took Erina home..."

"How is it possible? Only three days!"

Pleiades Liu silently listened to the legendary stories of various versions, and sure enough, there was also the drama "Erina was forced to marry by the commander, and ran away with Pleiades Liu in anger"!

"I said where did you hear the news? It's just that the little secretary was in a bad mood after losing and caused some minor troubles. Erina asked me to solve it." Liu Subaru said helplessly.

"That's it? Really... I thought the information Alice told me would be more accurate..." Yuuhime said regretfully.

Before that, she was yelling about "forced marriage and elopement"...

"That guy Alice..." Liu Subaru suspected that this was revenge. He went out to "play" with him in revenge, but did not take her!

Liu Subaru suddenly thought of something, and said in shock: "Wait! Alice, did you just tell you, or..."

"No, the whole academy is discussing this matter." Yuuki said.

"What about the commander?"

"Since it's not really eloped, how could the chief commander of this little thing come forward." Ryoko said as expected.

"But...A Xing, I haven't been idle for the past few days when you are helping others. If you haven't prepared for the game these days, don't blame me for taking advantage." Chuang Zhen said.

"Don't worry, I've thought about the recipe for the past three days, and I have to work on it for a few more years if I want to win... Maybe when I win the first place in the far month, you will be able to beat me."

Although the atmosphere between the two seemed tense, it was pure "competition" and did not contain any resentment.

So the two of them had just finished provoking each other, Chuang Zhen brought out his beef stew, first he made supper for Liu Subaru who had nothing to eat, and secondly he asked him to taste it...

"Huh? This is the cooking you plan to use to defeat me?" Liu Subaru took a curious sip.

It seemed to be very satisfied. After a while, I finished a small bowl, and then I used it to serve a bowl...

Yuuhime couldn't help but said, "Hey, is the next game between the two of you? Is it really good to reveal your cooking like this?"

"It's okay, it doesn't make any difference if you don't disclose it at this level." Liu Subaru sneered while serving the third bowl, still muttering, "Can't you find a larger bowl?"

"Then you still eat so hard!" Chuang Zhen looked at Liu Subaru staring silently.

"But it's good to fill your stomach."

"...Are there any frank opinions?" Chuang Zhen asked seriously.

Pleiades Liu also put down the spoon when he heard the words, and after thinking about it, he said, "If you really use this dish to compete with me, I think I will wait for you to present the dish first, and then after the judges have tasted the first bite, immediately Present dishes, or interrupt the judges’ tasting with a burst of aroma."

"The first...after?" Chuangzhen easily grasped the key words.

That’s right, Chuang Zhen’s beef stew perfectly fits the theme of "Western Main Course" in terms of texture and taste. The prototype is exactly the recipe for the first class passed by Pleiades Liu and Chuang Zhen on the first day of school... ...French-style burgundy red wine stew!

In addition, Chuangzhen also uses white miso for seasoning, which improves the mellow taste, but it also makes the beef stew, which is not sharp in flavor, more inert...

The judges must eat at least three bites to taste the pinnacle of the authentic beef stew. If you only taste one bite, the score will be 20% off.

That's why Liu Subaru said that if it is really a game, he will definitely interrupt the judges' tasting after the first bite.

Whether it’s a halberd or this kind of cooking competition, it’s completely different from the cooking in your own small restaurant. Either you can firmly attract the judges in the first bite, or you can reach the peak of deliciousness in the first bite!

The first one is more difficult and more complicated than the second one, but since the title is "Western main course", it is actually the most ideal to achieve "the first mouth firmly attracts the judges". After all, the main course takes the longest time as the dominant banquet. "The first bite reaches the peak of deliciousness" also means that there is no expectation in the future...

After filling his stomach with Chuangzhen's trial cooking, Liu Subaru also tiptoedly knocked on Yu Mei's door.

Before, she seemed to be angry, but after Liu Subaru came back, she went directly to the room.

"Who? Already asleep." Yu Mei's tone was not sleepy.

"Then can I come in?" Liu Subaru said without any logic.

"...What do you mean!" Yu Mei opened the door and roared.

I saw that Yu Mei had put on a tight-fitting tank top that she would only wear during exercise, and tight-fitting cropped trousers. The waist on the belly button was exposed...

"Why did you change to exercise at night today? Isn't it all morning?" Liu Subaru said as he entered the house and sat down by himself.

With regard to Liu Subaru's "consciousness", Yu Mei rolled her eyes helplessly, then closed the door and continued to punch the sandbag while putting on his gloves, while asking: "Is there something?"

"Are you... angry?"

"No!"

With only a "bang", Yu Mei's whip leg raised the sandbag nearly forty-five degrees!

"Actually, I just went to help Feisha with Erina, because it involved some rules of the new household, so I didn't have a mobile phone to contact you." Liu Subaru explained.

"Why, why do I have to listen to this!"

"It's nothing, it just feels like you are...a little concerned."

Seeing Yu Mei's staring eyes, Liu Subaru changed the modifier.

"Then... do you care?" Yu Mei suddenly walked over, forced Liu Subaru into the corner, and asked with a punch on the wall near Liu Subaru's ear.

Liu Subaru stared at Yu Mei's lips, which can control the high temperature and make accurate temperature judgments. After three seconds, he said, "Of course, you are my maid and sponsor, aren't you?"

"When did I become your sponsor?"

"The next time the game..."

Yu Mei finally let out the momentum he had accumulated, and said weakly, "Isn't this the main reason why you came here?"

"Of course not, the main purpose is to appease my little maid, and the secondary purpose is to get sponsorship!" Liu Subaru said naturally.

"Hey, so insincerely sponsored! But I originally provided the beef ingredients for the Reality Competition. You can barely get the same treatment! On Saturday, you can tell me what meat you need." Yu Mei The active halo had already dissipated and began to be proud.

Seeing that Liu Subaru did not speak or move, Yu Mei couldn't help but ask: "Why are you still not leaving? It's already late, I have to go to class tomorrow..."

I saw Liu Subaru saying that he wanted to unbuckle the button in a coy manner: "That...in order to show the sincerity of pull-down sponsorship, do you need unspoken rules or something? Hey, if you have something to say...how can you beat people? I am not a sandbag..." Liu Subaru said that he was driven out by Yu Mei.

After Yu Mei drove Liu Subaru out, she was still a little depressed, and suddenly found that Liu Subaru was sitting on the bed before, and she seemed to have a little gadget.

Yu Mei picked it up curiously, but found that it was a small clay ornament, like a cartoon character, with a big head and a small body...

Although from the point of view of the craftsmanship, it is obvious that it was pinched by the self-made clay shop, and it is not very delicate, but the short blond hair on the big head, the dark skin, and the small barbell in the hand make Yu Mei knew the identity of this small clay ornament.

It was the "souvenir" gift Liu Maoxing brought back when he went to a tourist town before.

It turns out that when Liu Subaru pretended to unbutton the button, he took out the thing in his arms.

"Puff, this guy... can't you give it to me!" Yu Mei couldn't help laughing. The only thing that made her want to complain is why the "self" lips on the clay ornaments are so thick?

"Is it really that thick? Nothing... Could it be that he paid special attention to his lips?" Yu Mei looked in the mirror with some concern.

Then suddenly I remembered something, and muttered: "Not everyone has it, right? Hmm... I will find a way to see other people's gifts tomorrow. If not everyone has it, I will forgive him for the loss of contact this time!"

The next day, after Yu Mei tried every possible means to inquire about everyone's gifts, it turned out that she was "sorrowful and joyful"...

Because I found other people’s gifts, most of them are just standard clay ornaments. The craftsmanship is much better than hers. Obviously it was made by the store according to the photos, not Liu Subaru’s hand-made...but!At the same time, Tian Suohui's small ornaments are as ugly as his own!It was obviously pinched by someone clumsy with clay!

In addition to the people in Jixingliao, Alice, Kurokiba Ryo, and Ye Shanliang also all have gifts. Sure enough, Alice's is also a white group of "defective products" who can't see the facial features!

"Although not everyone has it, why am I even more upset?" Yu Mei tangled...

And the one who was more entangled than her was Takumi, who complained to Issami all day: "Liu Subaru doesn't treat me as an opponent, right? Right? I didn't care too much, right?"

"Uh, brother, I think he may only prepare gifts for people he has partnered with..."
