Looking at so many eager eyes, Satou was quite speechless. If it were only girls looking at him like that, it would be a pleasant experience, but there were also Kuga Terunori and Eishi Tsukasa among them.
Alice Nakiri didn't try to grab any, because Satou had already given her two bags last time, and she ate it every day now. Her Mother-in-law often praised Satou for being filial and even said it would be great if Satou was her son-in-law.
Although that was already the case.
Yukihira Soma, Takumi, and the others also really wanted some, but it wasn't easy for them to compete with their seniors.
"Junior, can you give this whole bag to Senior Kobayashi?"
Kobayashi Rindo pleaded.
"Lin Longdan, you can't monopolize it," Eishi Tsukasa said with a smile.
"That's right, Lin Longdan, it's too much if you monopolize it."
Isshiki Satoshi also said with a smile.
The bag of Black Rice Satou brought wasn't very big, quite small, probably only about ten catties.
The Black Rice sold in the ingredient catalog comes in twenty-catty bags, so Satou brought half a bag.
"How about this, everyone bring over your food containers, and I'll give everyone a little."
Satou said.
No sooner had he spoken than several food containers were handed over at once.
"Junior, you're going too far!"
Kobayashi Rindo cried out angrily, because she hadn't made any dishes this time.
"Lin Longdan, you're being rude. According to tradition, during the Autumn Leaf Viewing Festival, seniors are supposed to let juniors taste their dishes. One could only say you didn't follow tradition."
Eishi Tsukasa shook his head and said.
Kobayashi Rindo pouted, looking very unhappy.
"Whatever's left in the bag after I'm done dividing it, it's all yours."
Satou had no choice but to say.
"Really?"
Kobayashi Rindo's eyes lit up, then she snatched the bag from Satou's hand and started distributing it to everyone.
However, to everyone's dismay, each person only received a tiny bit, not even enough for one bowl.
"Lin Longdan, give me the bag!"
Akikubo Momo extended her hand expressionlessly and said.
"No!"
Kobayashi Rindo straightforwardly hid the bag behind her back.
Finally, Satou, out of helplessness, snatched the bag back and distributed a little more to everyone.
Each of the Elite Ten received some, except for Eizan Etsuya.
It wasn't that Satou didn't want to give him any, but Eizan Etsuya, remembering their previous conflict, felt too awkward to ask.
Kobayashi Rindo was very reluctant, but seeing that there were still over four catties left in the bag, meaning she got to keep half, she reluctantly nodded.
"This little bit isn't enough at all."
Kuga Terunori grumbled, looking at the small amount of rice in his container. "I say, Satou, you're too quick to forget your friends when there's a girl around."
"That's natural. We've already French-kissed."
Kobayashi Rindo said with a smug expression.
"What?! Senior Kobayashi always brings that up. Is she showing off?"
Alice Nakiri cried out indignantly.
"Exactly."
Erina Nakiri also said, sounding a little sour.
"Um, Senior Kobayashi, can you share some of your rice with me?"
Yukihira Soma brazenly walked over, grinning.
"Go away, go away, there's none for you."
Kobayashi Rindo kicked him away.
Next, everyone continued to enjoy the maple leaves and eat their dishes.
"Um, Senior Kobayashi, can I have a Shokugeki with you? I want to become one of the Elite Ten."
Yukihira Soma raised his hand and asked.
The Elite Ten ignored him.
"If you can surpass me in cooking even a little, I might consider it."
Kuga Terunori leaned his face close to Yukihira Soma and said.
"Height."
Nene Kinokuni added from the side.
"You old hag! I already said it was about cooking!"
Kuga Terunori yelled out in great dissatisfaction.
After finishing the meal and admiring the autumn leaves, it was almost time to go back.
This time, Eishi Tsukasa, Akikubo Momo, and the others were all very satisfied with the Black Rice they received.
Only the first-years like Yukihira Soma didn't get any, which was a bit regrettable.
"Megumi."
Before leaving, Satou suddenly called out to Tadokoro Megumi.
"Eh? Satou, is there something you need me for?"
Tadokoro Megumi turned around in surprise, asking blankly.
"This is for you."
Satou handed over a small bag of Black Rice.
"Oh? Is this that kind of rice?"
Megumi opened the bag and looked inside, immediately exclaiming.
"Mm."
Satou nodded. This was specially left for Megumi. He felt a bit sorry for her.
Megumi's small face was slightly red, and her heart was very touched. She whispered, "Thank you, Satou."
A few days later, Satou went to Alice Nakiri's house again.
Leonora Nakiri hadn't left yet. Since she had finally returned, she wanted to spend more time with her daughter.
As for Souei Nakiri, he had returned to Northern Europe a few days ago to handle affairs.
"Is Satou here to visit our mother and daughter again?"
Today, Leonora Nakiri was wearing a red long dress, as beautiful as ever. Seeing Satou, a gentle smile appeared on her face.
"Mm."
Satou nodded and said, "By the way, Alice told me you really like this Black Rice, so I brought some more. There's also some honey and milk, which are good for the skin."
Miltank and Combee had high yields, so Satou had a lot of stock.
"Satou, you keep bringing delicious things over. I'm really embarrassed."
Leonora Nakiri was both happy and embarrassed. Then she lightly kissed Satou on his left cheek and said with a smile, "I feel like I've become a Mother-in-law, being looked after by you so much."
Satou touched his slightly moist cheek, feeling a bit speechless. He thought, 'Haven't I been your son-in-law for a long time? You just don't know it.'
Alice Nakiri watched with a smiling face from the side.
Then, she took Satou's hand and ran happily upstairs, "Let's go play together."
"Play a bit longer today, okay?"
Leonora Nakiri smiled and waved her hand. Then she picked up Satou's milk, poured a cup, and tasted it. It was exceptionally sweet and full of the fresh scent of the grassland.
"Such delicious milk!"
She said with great surprise. There were many high-quality pastures in Northern Europe, but none had such delicious milk.
At this moment, Satou was pulled by Alice Nakiri into her room.
As soon as they entered, Alice Nakiri pounced on him, kissed him on his right cheek, and giggled.
Satou touched both sides of his cheeks, feeling a bit speechless.
"Oh, right, drink this."
Alice Nakiri suddenly thought of something, took a bottle from the wardrobe, and said with a smile.
