"Really? Thank you so much."

Sui couldn't help but feel happy. He had originally wanted Miyoko to help out at his festival stall.

"No problem, I wasn't planning on opening a stall during the school festival anyway," Miyoko blushed and whispered.

"Oh, and by the way, my father wants you to try one of his new dishes. I hope you can find some time to stop by." She remembered something and mentioned it, looking a bit embarrassed.

In truth, it was her father who had been urging her to take advantage of the opportunity to invite Sui over.

"Oh, sure," Sui nodded.

Seeing the normally commanding Miyoko—who had been as fierce as a general on the basketball court—turn into a shy, soft-spoken girl made all the boys watching from the sidelines gape in disbelief.

"No way! Is this really Miyoko?"

"Is this still the same 'court general' we just saw?" 

The whispers from the boys on the court only made Miyoko blush deeper, her gaze fixated on her shoes as she grew more and more embarrassed.

"By the way, Sōma-kun, have you found any staff for your school festival booth yet?" Megumi asked, remembering something.

"Huh? Staff? Is that really necessary? Isn't it just a simple stall?" Sōma asked, completely confused.

"What?"

Both Miyoko and Megumi stared at him in disbelief.

"That's not how it works," Miyoko explained patiently. "The Moon Banquet Festival attracts half a million visitors every year. It's not just a school event—it's a grand occasion where people from outside come to taste the food created by Totsuki students, especially the Ten Elites."

"Plus, it's more than just small food stands," Megumi chimed in. "There are three designated areas for setting up stalls during the Moon Banquet Festival: the Avenue Area, Central Area, and the Mountain Area. The Avenue Area is mostly for popular dishes and smaller stalls, while the Central Area is more professional. But the Mountain Area, although less crowded, is where the high-end restaurants are, and it has the highest per capita spending. Many of the ten elites choose to open their shops there."

"I see," Soma scratched his head, realizing the scale of the event. "Then, I'll be on my own, won't I?"

Everyone looked at him sympathetically.

Later, Sui approached Nao Sadatsuka, and she quickly agreed to help with the booth. As for the elusive Subaru, Sui couldn't track him down, but for now, four people would suffice. If necessary, he could always call Subaru later.

During dinner, Erina brought up the upcoming festival.

"Sui, are you going to open a booth during the Moon Banquet Festival?" she asked while casually eating.

"Yeah," Sui nodded.

"So, which area are you planning to open in? What's your culinary theme? Will it be reservation-based, or regular sales? And have you found all your staff?" Erina rattled off a series of questions in one breath.

"The theme will focus on rare ingredients," Sui thought for a moment. "I'll take reservations, and I'd prefer to be located in the Mountain Area. Can you help me apply for a spot there?"

The Mountain Area had limited spaces, most of which were occupied by the elite ten, making it difficult for others to get a place..

"Sure, no problem," Erina nodded. Given Sui's abilities, he could definitely handle a spot in the Mountain Area.

"Oh, by the way," Erina added, "I'm planning to open a reservation-based restaurant too, and I'd like to use some beef. I'll pay you for it later."

Normally, Erina wouldn't worry about such details, but since she needed a large quantity for her shop, she wanted to make sure Sui was okay with it.

Sui shook his head, amused. "Do we really need to worry about that? Just go ahead and use it."

There was still a large supply of frozen bison meat, more than enough for the upcoming feast.

Hearing Sui's response, Erina blushed slightly, feeling a warmth in her heart. "Thank you," she murmured softly.

She then poured him a drink, and Sui absentmindedly took a sip.

However, he immediately noticed something odd about the taste. "Wait, is this rice sake made from that jet-black rice?" he asked. The flavor reminded him of what he had tasted at Alice's place—sweet with a strong aroma and a unique fragrance.

Erina blushed even more and nodded. "Yes, this is the rice sake I brewed."

Sui narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "Just regular rice sake?"

Erina's face turned beet red, and she stammered, "Well, it's not just rice wine... it's my 'Kuchikamizake'."

Sui was speechless for a moment. "'Kuchikamizake'? Why would you secretly make this for me?" he asked, bewildered.

"Because... because you drank Rindō-senpai's, so..." Erina trailed off, lowering her head and staring at her toes, looking like a child caught in the act.

Sui sighed. So it wasn't just Alice who was secretly concerned after that incident. "You and your cousins really are alike," he muttered under his breath, recalling how both of them had taken things to heart.

"Huh? What did you say?" Erina asked, a bit surprised.

"Ahem, nothing," Sui quickly brushed it off, coughing lightly.

"Anyway, since you drank Rindō-senpai's wine, it's only fair that you drink mine too," Erina said softly, still blushing as she glanced at the cup on the table.

Sui was once again speechless, but he had to admit—Erina's 'Kuchikamizake' tasted really good. Sweet, with that distinct scent... 

---

In the following days, with Erina's help, Sui successfully secured a spot in the Mountain Area for his booth—right next to Erina's.

During that time, several acquaintances, including the Sendawara sisters and Osaji Kita, called to ask if Sui was opening a shop at the festival. Upon hearing that he was, they were all eager to visit and support him.

Finally, the first day of the Moon Banquet Festival arrived.

But to Sui's surprise, he received a text message from Rindō.

"Hey, kohai, let's go shopping together."


Bab 332: Chapter 330: Moon Banquet Festival (3)

At that moment, Sui was busy opening his daily gift packs, of which he had accumulated five.

"Host opens the daily gift pack, cooking level increased by 1."

"Host opens the daily gift pack, cooking level increased by 2."

"Host opens the daily gift pack and receives a cheese rabbit."

"Host opens the daily gift pack and obtains the dried goods monster: Dream Catfish."

"Host opens the daily gift pack, cooking level increased by 1."

With that, his cooking skill level reached seventy-four, a significant improvement over before. 

What delighted Sui even more was obtaining the dried Dream Catfish, a rare and pricey ingredient worth five million yen each.

Just then, a text message from Rindō came through:

"Hey kohai, come shopping with me."

Sui sighed, finding the timing a bit odd. However, his restaurant was by appointment only and didn't open until the evening, leaving him with nothing to do for the rest of the day.

"Well, might as well make the most of a beautiful day," he thought as he accepted the invitation.

Rindō cheerfully linked arms with him, and they wandered around Totsuki Academy like a couple. Even though it was still early morning, the campus was bustling with activity. Both sides of the avenue were lined with food stalls, and many citizens from the surrounding areas had come to enjoy the Moon Banquet Festival, tasting various culinary creations.

The Moon Banquet Festival wasn't just a major event for Totsuki, it was also a food extravaganza for the local community and attracted attention even from the culinary world. Of course, the primary focus was on the high-end restaurants in the Mountain Area, run by Totsuki's elite students. The Central Area received some attention, but the Avenue Area was largely ignored by serious gourmands.

Rindō seemed thoroughly intrigued by everything around her. After a short while, she dragged Sui to the stall run by the Skewer Research Society.

"Ten lamb skewers and two squid skewers, please!" she called out as she plopped down at one of the tables.

"Coming right up!" the members of the Skewer Research Society responded enthusiastically and got to work.

"Rindō-senpai, is it really okay to eat something so greasy this early in the morning?" Sui couldn't help but ask.

"Why not? I eat what I like!" Rindō grinned, her sharp canines flashing, and promptly bit into a squid skewer. "Mmm, delicious!"

She handed Sui a large lamb skewer. He sighed but had no choice but to start eating as well.

After their meal, Rindō patted her stomach and cheerfully called out, "Kohai, time to pay up!"

Sui could only shake his head as he stood up to settle the bill. Luckily, the festival used Totsuki's gourmet coupons, so he didn't have to spend too much real money.

Afterward, Rindō led him to another food stall, and the two continued their culinary adventure. Rindō's appetite seemed bottomless, while Sui found himself struggling to keep up. As they ate their way through the festival, Sui couldn't help but marvel at how Rindō maintained her slender figure despite consuming so much food. Perhaps it was her "special physique."

By the time afternoon rolled around, they had been eating and strolling for hours. Rindō clung to Sui's arm with one hand while holding a snack in the other, munching away happily.

"Hey, this donut is pretty good. You should try it too," she said, offering a half-eaten donut to Sui.

Sui stared at the small bite marks on the donut, feeling a bit helpless, but he reluctantly took a bite, not wanting to be rude.

At this point, he couldn't eat anymore and glanced sideways at Rindō, puzzled by how she could still be so full of energy.

Just then, a loud voice interrupted them.

"Sui! Are you on a date with Rindō-senpai? Are you two really dating?!"

The shout came from Yoshino, who was standing outside Isshiki's stall along with Ryoko and the other Polar Star Dorm members. They looked surprised to see Sui and Rindō walking hand-in-hand.

To be fair, Sui and Rindō did look like a couple. She was clinging to his arm, resting her head against his shoulder, and even feeding him snacks as they strolled through the festival.

Sui rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, but Rindō seemed completely unfazed. "Yeah, what's the problem?" she replied with a mischievous grin.

"Sui, what about Erina-chi?" Yoshino teased, patting Sui on the shoulder while shaking her head in mock disappointment.

Sui gave her a sideways glance but chose not to respond. 

Ryoko and the others, while surprised by how close Sui and Rindō seemed, knew that Rindō had always been carefree and bold. Still, it was unusual to see them acting so intimate.

"Since you're already here, why not try some of our food before you go?" Isshiki suggested with a smile.

"Sure!" Rindō's eyes lit up in excitement, and the two of them sat down for another round of food.

After eating at the Polar Star Dorm's stall, they continued wandering through the festival. Before long, the sun began to set, casting long shadows on the ground as the festival crowd grew larger.

As they walked side by side, bathed in the golden light of the sunset, Rindō stretched contentedly. "I had such a great time eating today!"

Sui was less enthusiastic, feeling overly full. He glanced at Rindō and noticed a bit of food on her lips. Without thinking, he reached out to wipe it off.

Rindō blinked in surprise, a rare blush appearing on her cheeks. Her golden eyes sparkled as she touched her lips where Sui had wiped.

"Why..." she murmured softly, seemingly at a loss for words.

For a moment, she was uncharacteristically silent, and Sui found it strange. Rindō had always been so cool and carefree—this was the first time he had seen her look... shy?

"Hey, kohai, I'm talking to you," she suddenly said.

"Huh? What is it, Rindō-senpai?" Sui asked, confused.

"Do you accept senpai and kohai relationships?" she asked, her tone casual but her expression serious.

Sui blinked. "You mean a relationship between an older woman and a younger man? I don't think that's a big deal. As long as both people get along well, it doesn't matter."

"Really?" Rindō's golden eyes sparkled even brighter, and she looked at him with an intense gaze.

"Yes," Sui nodded, then paused. "Wait... Rindō-senpai, you're not saying you like me, are you?"

Rindō's face turned crimson, but she quickly recovered, raising her chin proudly. "Hah! Don't flatter yourself, kohai You're thinking too much!" she teased, flicking him lightly on the forehead.
