Chapter 231 Erina: Feeling Insulted
"Go make another dish. If it satisfies me, I'll agree to take you as my disciple."
Kojiro stood up. "Yes, Master. I'll go right away."
Kojiro immediately left. Dojima looked at Hakuto and said, "Kojiro's talent is not inferior to mine. This time, he will definitely make a dish that satisfies you."
"Mr. Dojima, to be honest, we're not that familiar with each other. Is it really appropriate for you to push this kind of thing onto me?"
Dojima, however, retorted, "You are not unfamiliar with Miss Erina and Miss Alice. Doing this matter well would also be beneficial to Totsuki."
Hakuto was speechless. Dojima was clearly just trying to force a connection. The relationship between Hakuto and Erina and Alice was their own business. What did that have to do with Totsuki?
At that moment, the woman with the round face and married woman hairstyle who had been covering her mouth earlier said, "I didn't expect that Shinomiya-senpai, that expressionless deadpan, would find a master younger than himself."
Mizuhara Fuyumi looked at Hinako as if asking, where did this idiot come from?
His strength was clearly better than Kojiro's. Weren't you afraid he would write your name in his little notebook?
Hakuto smiled and didn't mind this incident. He glanced at Hinako in front of him and said playfully, "You seem particularly concerned about Kojiro's affairs. Could it be that..."
Hearing Hakuto's words, everyone's gaze immediately turned to her. Then Fuyumi also said, "So that's it. Inui, you like Shinomiya!"
Hinako was dumbfounded. She looked at Hakuto in front of her and then suddenly exclaimed, "That's not it at all! It's just that Shinomiya-senpai's gloomy expression is really worrying!"
Hakuto looked at Hinako with an expression that said "I believe you." The others also looked at Hinako with knowing smiles.
Only Hinako had a mournful expression. She really didn't like Kojiro.
Hinako wanted to cry. Seeing everyone's expressions, she knew it would probably be difficult to explain herself afterwards. Her gaze immediately became resentful as she looked at Hakuto.
Hakuto, however, simply ignored it. Who told Hinako to pick a fight? If she hadn't picked a fight, Hakuto wouldn't have targeted her.
Not long after, Kojiro came out with his dish. This time, Hakuto tasted something in Kojiro's dish.
After confirming that Kojiro's Heart of Cooking would not be of the negative type, Hakuto nodded. Then he accepted Kojiro as his disciple.
Afterwards, Hakuto had Kojiro casually serve some tea as an initiation ceremony. He didn't care about unnecessary formalities. He wanted things to be as simple as possible.
Then Hakuto told Kojiro to go do whatever he needed to do. Then Hakuto also left.
[I didn't expect that coming to the Totsuki Resort would result in me taking on a disciple. Shinomiya Kojiro's Heart of Cooking is not of the negative type, so it's fine to accept him. But since I'm the master, I should teach him something. Hmm, got it. I'll just write a few recipes and throw them at him. Let him figure it out on his own.]
[But I always feel like there's a trap in coming to Totsuki this time. First Shinomiya Kojiro, and then some WGO inspector. It wouldn't be that mother-in-law of mine, Nakiri Mana, would it?]
[Well, whatever. I'll deal with whatever comes. Although it might be a bit troublesome, it shouldn't be a problem. With my strength, solving these things isn't difficult.]
[Oh, right. I almost forgot one more thing. That father-in-law I've never met is also in America. Sheesh, speaking of which, could that father-in-law I've never met be dead?]
[Sheesh, my bad, my bad. But if he's dead, he's dead. Anyway, Erina doesn't like that father-in-law of mine either. And Erina doesn't know about this. Hmm, if that father-in-law of mine really died, he can only blame his bad luck.]
Seeing this diary entry, everyone reading it had the corner of their mouths twitched. Erina, in particular, had dark veins covering her forehead.
'This guy, Hakuto...'
Alice looked at Erina with some concern. "Erina, could something have happened to Uncle Azami?"
Hearing this, Erina fell into silence. Then she said helplessly, "I don't know either."
[If that cheap father-in-law of mine really died, then the Totsuki Elite Ten's later plan with my cheap father-in-law to remove old man Nakiri Senzaemon from his position as principal probably won't happen. Tch, every single member of the Totsuki Elite Ten has rebellion in their hearts. Tsk tsk, I wonder who had such a brain disease that they came up with a rule allowing students to remove the principal. Tsk tsk!]
Erina: Feeling insulted.
Others also couldn't help but wonder. Students could remove the principal?
In Japan, a society with such a strict hierarchy, a thing like this was practically unheard of, wasn't it?
[Tsukasa Eishi, Kobayashi Rindo, Akanegakubo Momo, Saito Somei, Kinokuni Nene, Eizan Etsuya joined forces to overthrow Nakiri Senzaemon. But the old man probably knew about it long ago. He used this incident to solve the childhood trauma my cheap father-in-law caused Erina.]
[As expected of the old saying 'the older the ginger, the spicier'. The old man's methods, tsk tsk. My cheap father-in-law was sold out and was still helping to count the money.]
[Oh, right. I almost forgot. I haven't claimed yesterday's and the day before yesterday's rewards yet. I'll claim them first.]
Three seconds later.
[What kind of luck is this today? Condoms two days in a row? What do I need these for? I never use them!]
Not only Hakuto was cursing, but the others who received rewards were also cursing.
If Hakuto didn't get good things, naturally they couldn't get good things either. Even the people who were mentioned the most frequently ended up unlucky.
[Forget it, forget it. I may not be invincible under heaven, but at least within my sight, there is absolutely no one who can match me. I, Yagami Hakuto, have gotten where I am today all through my own hard work... writing in my diary.]
Everyone: Wow. They've seen many shameless people, but this is the first time they've seen someone as shameless as Hakuto.
[Huh, here comes trouble. Sure enough, it's that cheap mother-in-law of mine. And it seems she's looking for me. Tch, I knew it.]
