"Then I'll trouble Kuguchi-senpai," Satou smiled, then walked over, carrying his suitcase.
"But speaking of which, Senpai, where's your car?" Satou looked around, but didn't seem to see any car.
"Oh, my car is parked nearby," Kikuchi Sonoka smiled slightly, then pointed to the pink little motorcycle parked by the roadside.
Satou: "..."
Are you sure you're not messing with me?
I already let Far Moon's special car leave, and now you're telling me you're going to take me to Far Moon on this little motorcycle?
"Eh? Satou, what's wrong? You look strange," Kikuchi Sonoka looked at him curiously and asked.
"I say, Kuguchi-senpai, don't you have a car?" Satou lightly coughed and said.
"No, I don't. Because I don't have enough money to buy one yet."
Kikuchi Sonoka stuck out her tongue a little shyly, looking very cute.
"Chunguo Pavilion was opened with the prize money I earned from competitions during my student days, but I didn't make much money in the first few months, and even lost quite a bit, so… so my financial situation is actually quite tight right now."
As she spoke, Kikuchi Sonoka's face turned red, and she lowered her head shyly.
"Alright."
Satou said helplessly, only then realizing that Kuguchi-senpai's financial situation wasn't very good, but she had only graduated less than a semester ago and had to support the entire restaurant by herself, which was very difficult.
"But Kuguchi-senpai, this little motorcycle doesn't seem like it can carry me and my luggage, does it?"
Satou asked.
"Huh?"
Kikuchi Sonoka only then noticed Satou was also carrying a suitcase, and her face immediately flushed as she stammered, "I'm… I'm sorry, Satou! I didn't realize there would be luggage."
Satou was speechless again.
"But Satou, don't worry, I will definitely get you back safely, please believe me!"
Kikuchi Sonoka looked at Satou with a determined expression and said.
Satou: "…"
Why did she use the word "safely"?
Next, Satou got on Kikuchi Sonoka's small motorcycle, and as for the suitcase, it was tied to the back seat. Luckily, Satou didn't have much luggage, just a few changes of clothes, and the milk he brought had already been drunk.
"Satou, hold my waist, be careful, we're off."
Kikuchi Sonoka put on a small red helmet, turned her head, and smiled slightly.
Satou: "...Okay."
Then he also put on his helmet.
And so, Kikuchi Sonoka took Satou, slowly and leisurely, towards Far Moon.
Satou pressed tightly against Kikuchi Sonoka's back, his hands wrapped around her waist.
Surprisingly, her chest was very full, but her waist was exceptionally slender and elastic, feeling very good to the touch. His nose was filled with the fresh scent of a young girl's hair.
"Kuguchi-senpai, there's a small river ahead, please be careful."
Satou reminded her.
"Mm, don't worry, I'm a very good driver."
Kikuchi Sonoka replied crisply.
Then, Satou watched as Kikuchi Sonoka drove the motorcycle straight towards the small river.
Satou: "…"
"I'm… I'm sorry! It's my first time carrying someone, so I'm a bit unaccustomed."
Because of her nervousness, Kikuchi Sonoka's voice even carried a hint of a whimper.
Satou began to seriously consider a question: could he even make it back to Far Moon alive?
However, fortunately, Kikuchi Sonoka eventually adapted, and although the small motorcycle wobbled, it still slowly made its way towards Far Moon.
Because the seat of the small motorcycle was not very wide, and there was a suitcase tied to the back, Satou's body and Kikuchi Sonoka's body were pressed tightly together.
Satou held Kikuchi Sonoka's slender yet elastic waist, and could even feel her overly ample chest gently trembling up and down in a regular rhythm as they moved forward.
He could see her fair, graceful neck, her round, cute earlobes, and her gray coral-pink long hair blowing across his face, tickling him, his nose filled with the scent of a young girl.
Kikuchi Sonoka was also blushing. She had never been this close to a boy since she was little, which made her shy but also feel something unusual in her heart.
Her neck could even feel the warm breath exhaled from Satou's nose.
Satou was also a bit embarrassed at this moment, because Kikuchi Sonoka's plump buttocks kept rubbing against his lower body, and he barely managed to avoid a reaction, otherwise it would have been truly too awkward.
During this awkward journey, Satou and Kikuchi Sonoka finally returned to Far Moon.
"Thank you, Kuguchi-senpai."
Satou got off her small motorcycle and scratched his head, saying.
"It's nothing."
Kikuchi Sonoka's face was so red it looked like blood could drip from it. She bit her lip and whispered.
"Then Satou, I'll be going now. You're welcome to visit Chunguo Pavilion anytime in the future. I'll always keep the position of sous chef reserved for you."
Kikuchi Sonoka lowered her head, not daring to meet Satou's gaze.
Although she was Satou's senior, their usual interactions were more like friends of the same generation.
"Mm, I'll come visit sometimes."
Satou nodded and said, "Be careful on your way."
Now, Chunguo Pavilion had gained some fame, and after a few days of observation, the staff had also been convinced, so there shouldn't be any more problems.
"Mm."
Kikuchi Sonoka looked up, smiled sweetly with a blush, and then drove away on her small motorcycle.
Subsequently, Satou dragged his suitcase alone and returned to Erina Nakiri's mansion.
After Kikuchi Sonoka returned to Chunguo Pavilion, her cheeks were still a bit flushed. She had never had such an experience before, and while it made her shy, she also felt a strange sensation in her heart.
"Chef, has Satou left already?"
A chef walked over and asked.
"Mm."
Kikuchi Sonoka composed herself and nodded, feeling a little lost.
Then she thought for a moment and hung a wooden plaque with a name written on it on the Chunguo Pavilion chef board.
The chef's position had a wooden plaque with her name on it, and in the sous chef's position, there was prominently a wooden plaque with Satou's name written on it.
Seeing the two wooden plaques side by side, Kikuchi Sonoka's face showed a sweet smile.
Because it made her feel as if Satou was still in the restaurant.
Although it was only for a short four days, she would always cherish the time they spent together making dishes for guests.
"Satou, you must come back soon."
Kikuchi Sonoka tilted her head and smiled slightly.
