Chapter 1732: Lets go out and play! 1 (1/2)
Before the summer vacation, Erina was very busy, but during the summer vacation, she was so free that she decided to live at Haru's house directly. Laying on the sofa with an air conditioner that was fully activated, a cold drink, a snack, and some shoujo manga, she felt that this was simply heaven. As for getting fat? She felt that she couldn't become fat, considering how she had always had an intense workout every night with her man.
Erina put her head on her man's lap and asked, ”Say.”
”Hmm?” Haru looked at Erina curiously.
”Are you busy in the autumn?” Erina asked.
”Autumn?” Haru raised his eyebrow and said, ”I'm not sure yet, but what's wrong? Do you want me to help you with your Moon Banquet Festival stall or something?”
The Moon Banquet Festival is the annual school festival held at Tootsuki culinary academy. During the festival, students can set up a food booth after receiving permission to do so. During the Moon Banquet Festival, students may choose to work individually or in a group.
The festival is considered a huge event that attracts more than 500,000 customers a day. Among these customers are numerous domestic and foreign V.I.P.'s. The customers are accommodated at Tootsuki's on-campus lodging facilities and Tōtsuki Resort; the rent for the lodging alone is a great money maker for Tootsuki.
”Can you?” Erina asked with a shining eye.
”...It's possible, but do you really have to open the stall? Can we just play around the festival?” Haru asked since he really didn't see a reason for Erina to work so hard, considering that he didn't lack money, and as his fiancee, she also didn't lack one either. Even though he knew that as a member of Elite Ten, Erina might need to open her stall as the festival's main attraction, he still had heard that if the members of the Elite Ten didn't want to open one, it didn't really matter.
”Haru, I'm Nakiri. I need to show everyone my skills and strengthen our family position in the culinary world,” Erina said with a serious expression.
”I know.” Haru patted Erina's head and said, ”But you sure that you want to hire me? I'm not cheap.”
”What do you want?” Erina blushed and asked, ”Don't tell me that you're going to ask me to suck that thing again?”
”........”
'Isn't it you who is the one who sucks it on your own?' Haru thought, but he nodded and said, ”Can you?”
”We - Well, I don't really mind, should we do it now?” Erina asked.
”It's still a day, though.” Haru smiled and said, ”You have become perverted, huh, Erina?”
”Whose fault it is?!” Erina was full of shame.
”Still, where is Hisako? She's usually beside you, but I have seen that you have been separated for a while,” Haru said.
”.....” Erina stared at Haru.
”What?” Haru raised his eyebrow.
”Do you want to eat, Hisako?” Erina asked.
”....How come that the image of a beast is always on your mind?” Haru was speechless.
”It's because you're like that?!” Erina said without hesitation.
”....” Haru.
”Well, if you're curious about her, she's working hard at the Tootsuki Autumn Election,” Erina said.
The Autumn Election is used to determine the current generation's class standing of first-year students through a cooking tournament. Claiming victory in the Election can greatly increase a student's chances of eventually becoming a member of Tootsuki's Elite Ten Council.
”I see.” Haru nodded and asked, ”Hasn't she asked for your help?”
”No, she said that she was going to use her own power to win the tournament,” Erina said with a somewhat proud tone. She then looked at Haru and said, ”If you're free, you should come to the festival. I'll show you around, or rather, do you want to become a judge there?”
”Me? A judge? Are you serious?” Haru raised his eyebrow.
”Why not? I'm sure that everyone will be excited to see the richest man on earth taste their food, and if their food is good, you might give them a sponsor or something, right?” Erina asked.
