[Spice Fruit Wood-Roasted Polaris Chicken]
[Required ingredients: Polaris chicken, apples, oranges, lemons, honey, spice fruit, charcoal, etc.
Cooking method: Please pay to view.]
Looking at the recipe in the system, Bai Mo gazed at Yoshino Yūki as if she were a treasure trove.
Indeed, as a named supporting character in Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma, Yoshino Yūki's skills were truly commendable! His plan to turn Totsuki Academy into his personal kitchen needed to be implemented sooner rather than later!
Thus, facing Yoshino Yūki, Bai Mo waved his hand grandly and declared, "I'm very satisfied with this dish—it's truly delicious!"
"As a reward, once we return, I'll have someone deliver the spice fruits to you as payment for this meal!"
"Besides that, I've also acquired a lot of high-quality meat ingredients this time, all rare and premium. Even A5-grade Wagyu beef isn't fit to compare!"
"If I recall correctly, Yoshino Yūki, you specialize in wild game cuisine, right? Perfect—these are all genuine, beast-grade ingredients!"
"Ohhh!" The more Bai Mo spoke, the more excited Yoshino Yūki became. "So, I can get my hands on those ingredients?"
"That's right. Based on your performance with this dish, I can grant you 50 kilograms! I hope you'll create another dish as impressive as this [Spice Fruit Wood-Roasted Polaris Chicken] next time!"
"Mhm, mhm! I'll do my best!" Yoshino Yūki replied with a bright smile.
As Bai Mo and Yoshino Yūki conversed, the other residents of Polar Star Dormitory felt a mix of emotions. However, they had to admit Yoshino Yūki's wood-roasted chicken was outstanding, so they didn't voice any complaints.
But Bai Mo wasn't one to play favorites. If Yoshino Yūki alone could bring him such a pleasant surprise, what about the others?
Thus, turning to Yukihira Sōma and the rest, Bai Mo said straightforwardly, "Don't worry, the rest of Polar Star Dormitory will each receive 5 kilograms of meat. I hope you can use these ingredients to create dishes just as dazzling as this one!"
After their earlier conversation, Yukihira Sōma—who now knew his father was friends with Bai Mo's father, making them practically brothers—no longer held back.
"Eh, really? That's awesome! But can you tell us what kind of meat it is first? I need to prepare a recipe!"
"Hmph~ I admit I lost to Isshiki-senpai during the welcoming party, and this spice fruit cooking contest against Yoshino Yūki—I accept defeat! But next time, I won't lose so easily!"
Faced with Yukihira Sōma's competitive spirit, Bai Mo simply smirked. "By the way, what was the bet's wager again?"
"Uh—!!!"
Yukihira Sōma and the other two immediately stiffened.
The bet's stakes weren't particularly high or low, but under Bai Mo's teasing gaze, the three couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
"Can we… owe it for now?"
"No way~ As men, how can you back out? So, who's going first?"
Seeing no way out, Isshiki Satoshi finally stepped forward.
"I'll go first, then."
As for what exactly the bet had been, the others—like Tadokoro Megumi—were burning with curiosity. What kind of wager had these guys made?
With Isshiki stepping up, Bai Mo didn't keep them in suspense. "Well, this was Sōma's idea. Since he's good at making dark cuisine—"
"During the contest, he suggested the loser would have to taste dark cuisine as the penalty."
"Based on the results, Isshiki gets six servings, Ibusaki Shun gets five, and Yukihira Sōma gets thirteen!"
Hearing this, everyone finally understood why the three looked so miserable.
"But… we don't have any dark cuisine here, right?" Tadokoro Megumi asked worriedly. "Does that mean they don't have to eat it?"
"Of course not! How could I pass up a chance to see them suffer?"
As someone who loved stirring up trouble, Bai Mo immediately objected. "Don't worry, I've already prepared the dark cuisine!"
The three looked even more resigned.
Had Bai Mo planned this from the start?
"Ah~ Here it comes!"
A Totsuki delivery truck pulled up outside Polar Star Dormitory, and two figures stepped out from the back.
When Nakiri Erina and Arato Hisako appeared before them, the Polar Star residents were shocked.
"Since I couldn't find anyone else to help, I asked Erina and Hisako to prepare the dark cuisine for me!"
Pointing at the two covered plates in Arato Hisako's hands, Bai Mo said, "Alright, there are three types of dishes here. You can choose for yourselves—don't worry, they're all safe to eat!"
Hearing this, Isshiki—who had volunteered to go first—immediately approached Nakiri Erina. "I'll take the dish from Nakiri-san!"
"Oh~ But what if mine is the worst?"
Nakiri Erina's smirk was barely contained.
Rarely did she get to witness such an amusing spectacle, and even the young lady couldn't resist enjoying the show.
Hesitating for a moment, Isshiki still chose the plate in Nakiri Erina's hands.
When he lifted the lid, it appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary glass of juice.
Yet the expressions of Nakiri Erina and Isshiki—who were closest—changed dramatically.
One was barely holding back laughter, while the other looked utterly defeated.
