Gourmet Manor.
Hoshino Sora cooked various dishes at an extremely fast pace, and outside his raised cooking counter, a group of Forest Elves and Neko Matas, drawn by the aroma and eagerly awaiting food, gathered around.
"Ten dishes of West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce, ten dishes of crispy fried pork loin, and ten dishes of steak. Those who need them, come and get them. Those who have already taken, please wait and let the members who haven't eaten yet go first."
Hoshino Sora quickly served dish after dish onto the dining table, looking at the Neko Ame and Morin Spirit Clan members who were standing or sitting, some eating fish, some eating vegetables. He distributed food while loudly maintaining order.
"Delicious! The meat is tender, sweet and sour, with a fresh aroma, soft texture, and a crab-like taste. This is no less impressive than the dishes made by the royal chefs! Master, you are truly amazing!"
With her pure white, tender legs slightly crossed, Neko Hare slightly raised her head, her face showing an ecstatic expression. It was clear that she was in a wonderful state.
"So amazing! Sister, I feel so strange, my body is becoming soft, and it feels like something is about to come out~!"
Grabbing Neko Hare's arm, Neko Ame let out a sweet and melodious sound, followed by a mysterious blush on her face, her legs unconsciously parting. Her whole demeanor was alluring.
"Gulp."
Looking at the two sisters, who were cute yet alluring, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Who could resist this?
"It's just dinner, try to be a little more normal!"
Watching her sister, whose voice was gradually becoming perverted and whose movements were strange, Neko Hare couldn't help but raise her hand and gently tap her head, telling her that girls should be more reserved.
"Sister, aren't you the same?"
Covering her head, her cheeks puffed out in annoyance. Neko Hare's reaction wasn't much better than hers, so why did she only scold her and not herself?
"I am…"
Hearing Neko Ame's words, Neko Hare's face flushed, and she couldn't utter a word of rebuttal for a long time. The taste of West Lake Vinegar Fish spread in her mouth, bringing an impact from the inside out, and also making her emit unspeakable sounds of shame, which she couldn't control.
The sweet and sour taste, with a hint of crab flavor, and because the raw material was grass carp, there were very few bones in the fish, making the overall taste exceptionally fresh and bright.
"It's okay, you don't need to pretend to be a lady in front of me. Just do whatever makes you happy. Even if you shout and scream, I won't say anything. In fact, I'll even find you very cute."
Seeing the two sisters arguing over a dish, Hoshino Sora came to them and said with a smile, while placing the freshly fried meatballs from his bowl into theirs.
Since they were newly joined members, he needed to show them care to foster the master-servant relationship. He had done the same with the Morin Spirit Clan.
"Understood, Master."
Hearing Hoshino Sora's words and looking at his handsome face so close, the two sisters exchanged glances and then responded in unison. They then stopped restraining themselves, eating and making sounds of happiness.
"Amazing! The fragrance of the fish wraps around my tongue, and a strange feeling arises from the depths of my heart!"
"The fried meatballs are also so fragrant, crispy on the outside and full of moisture on the inside, savory and delicious! Master, you are truly amazing, your cooking skills are even better than the royal chefs in our homeland!"
"Then you two eat here first. I have something else to do outside, so I'll leave first. If anything comes up, find Windsor. She's familiar with everything in the Gourmet Manor. Also, the restaurant needs to be built quickly.
Oh, and your residences can continue to extend outwards, but for now, three or four people per room is fine. After all, the Gourmet Manor itself isn't very large. When it expands later, you can each have your own room."
Glancing at the empty space behind the village, Hoshino Sora instructed Windsor, while also arranging the Neko Ame's whereabouts. After saying these words, he disappeared from the Gourmet Manor.
Opening his eyes again, he was in a small room, with not many things, but it was very tidy. This was the staff lounge of Xingye Restaurant.
After a brief look around, Hoshino Sora pushed open the door and walked out. The sound of stir-frying came from the direction of the kitchen. Following the sound, he saw a graceful figure.
"What kind of outfit is that? Although we haven't opened yet, wearing something like that in the restaurant kitchen is somewhat dangerous, my dear Yumeko wife."
"I can't help it. My Gourmet Cell just advanced, and all my clothes were torn apart. There are no spare clothes here, and you weren't around, so I could only use an apron to cover myself for now.
But the shop door is locked now, and besides the ventilation, there's no other place in the kitchen for peeking. Theoretically speaking, I'm actually quite safe right now…"
Looking at Hoshino Sora, who was walking towards her with a hint of teasing in his words, Yumeko Jabami argued her point. However, before she could finish speaking, Hoshino Sora hugged her from behind.
"In a room with a man, wearing only an apron, and you actually think this is safe? Yumeko, sometimes you're quite naive."
"Hoshino-kun isn't very dangerous, at least not to me."
Feeling the heat behind her body, Yumeko Jabami's eyes showed a slight change. She didn't resist Hoshino Sora's advances; instead, she actively embraced him.
And then, the distant fragrance permeated the ancient path, and the enraged dragon fell upon the desolate city.
When Aka Rika arrived at the restaurant, in addition to the aroma of food, there was also a strange scent in the air.
"Asaka-nee, Rika-nee, you're finally here! Hurry and change your clothes over there. We'll be opening in about half an hour, and this time we're only accepting guests from the Other World."
Seeing Aka Rika, who had arrived late, Hoshino Sora strode forward to greet them, a smile on his face.
"What were you two doing in the kitchen just now?"
Looking at Yumeko Jabami, who was dressed in a chef's uniform with a lingering blush on her face, and Hoshino Sora, who looked refreshed as if he had just finished some activity, Rika suspiciously sniffed the air.
"Does that even need to be said? Of course, they were doing what we usually do. The air is full of a foul scent."
Compared to Rika's suspicion, Asaka directly condemned Hoshino Sora, her jealousy almost overflowing. She was all too familiar with this smell!
"To do such things in a sacred kitchen, Sora is so perverted!"
"Exactly, even we haven't done that in the kitchen…"
"Uh, is that really the main point…?"
Hearing the Aka Rika sisters arguing back and forth, Hoshino Sora felt a headache coming on for a moment. However, he quickly found a solution: he strode forward and embraced both of them.
"Don't worry, there will be an opportunity, but before that, let's focus on serving the guests well."
Looking at the two sisters who gradually quieted down after he hugged them, Hoshino Sora patiently spoke softly.
"Really?"
"We can do that in the sacred kitchen…"
"Yes, as long as you want, it's fine anywhere."
Seeing the two sisters' expressions gradually brighten with joy, Hoshino Sora continued to assure them.
He was genuinely worried that his wives would argue with each other, but looking at the scene before him, it seemed he had been overthinking.
"Yumeko, what dish are you making?"
"Fried ice cream, Rika, please be sure to try it later!"
Hoshino Sora smiled as he watched Rika actively approach and converse with Yumeko Jabami.
If they could communicate smoothly, it meant their relationship wasn't strained. As long as the relationship wasn't strained, a little time together could turn them into close friends who talked about everything, and then develop into best friends.
Hoshino Sora had seen this far too many times.
"Yumeko's cooking is excellent. You'll be in for a treat later. For now, go change your clothes in the lounge. Tomorrow is the weekend, so I'll take Yumeko home with me."
"Are you going back to our home?"
They hadn't paid much attention to the earlier words; all their attention was on Hoshino Sora's last sentence. Aka Rika exchanged glances, their faces full of pleasant surprise.
"Yes, after all, there are no classes, and staying in Yōbi Dormitory is still staying, just like staying at home. I usually stay at Yōbi Dormitory, so now it's time to spend some time with you."
Hoshino Sora explained with a smile. During the weekdays, he had to stay in Far Moon because the Elite Ten sometimes needed him to handle matters. Besides that, he skipped regular classes whenever he could.
Anyway, his wife was the academy's general director, and his harem included the Totsuki Ten Elite. Even if he failed every single course, he wouldn't be expelled from Far Moon. Given that, he naturally slacked off whenever possible.
After all, those courses offered him almost zero improvement; going there would only be a waste of time. Many of the instructors knew this, so they didn't really bother him.
This was also the treatment the Totsuki Ten Elite should receive.
"Yay! Kisses, Sora, kisses!"
Hearing Hoshino Sora's affirmative answer, Rika immediately pounced on him, wrapping her arms around the man's neck and showering him with kisses. Hoshino Sora didn't resist at all; instead, he extended his hand to support her bottom, letting her sit on his sturdy arm.
"Ah! How cunning! I want some too!"
Seeing this, Asaka anxiously spoke from the side, her small hands waving a few times in the air, her mouth slightly agape. Hoshino Sora, seeing this, picked her up with his left hand.
Then, the two sisters, one on each side, frantically left their marks on Hoshino Sora's face, making the blush on Yumeko Jabami's face deepen, wondering what she was thinking.
"Alright, alright, I need to cook."
After a while, the Aka Rika sisters finally got down from Hoshino Sora's arms, satisfied. Although they were older than him, their behavior was sometimes quite childish.
High school JK, truly a wonderful age.
