After watching Nakiri Mana go home, Ryūga returned to Polar Star House.
Upon entering, Ryūga saw Dojima Gin and Jōichirō Saiba sitting on the sofa chatting with Mrs. Fumio.
Furthermore, Ryūga noticed that next to Gin Dojima and Jōichirō Saiba, there was a little girl who looked somewhat familiar.
"Ryūga is back? What a coincidence! Come and sit down, let me introduce you!"
"Starting today, we're welcoming a new member to our Polaris Dormitory. Her name is Jun Shiomi, and she's a first-year transfer student. From today onwards, she'll be your junior, so please take good care of her!"
Jun Shiomi!
No wonder it looked so familiar at first glance.
When Ryūga first transmigrated, he was puzzled as to why Jun Shiomi wasn't in the Polar Star Dormitory. Now, Ryūga finally understands that Jun Shiomi had transferred there a few months after the start of the first year.
Mrs. Fumio introduced Jun Shiomi to Ryūga, and then she said to Jun Shiomi:
"This is Ryūga Akane, a third-year student in junior high school. he also lives in our Polar Star Dormitory, so he can be considered your senior!"
Upon hearing Mrs. Fumio's words, Jun Shiomi immediately stood up and bowed to Ryūga, saying:
"Senior Ryūga, it's a pleasure to meet you. I look forward to your care in the days to come!"
"Hello, Shiomi! It's nice to meet you. Welcome to our Polar Star Dormitory family. If you ever encounter any difficulties or need any help, please feel free to come to me!"
Ryūga was enthusiastic towards Jun Shiomi. In the original work, However, the famous spice research doctor in the scientific research field in the future was just a junior of his at this stage.
Seeing Ryūga's kind expression and gentle voice, Jun Shiomi's initial awkwardness lessened considerably.
Just then, Gin Dojima spoke to Ryūga:
"Ryūga, don't underestimate our junior! I heard she got full marks in all subjects during her transfer exam! And it seems she's particularly knowledgeable about spices; we might need to consult her about using spices in the future!"
Upon hearing Dojima Gin's praise, Jun Shiomi blushed and said:
"Senior Dojima, you flatter me too much! I'm just interested in spices. I still have a lot to learn and need your guidance and criticism in the future!"
Mrs. Fumio glanced at Jun Shiomi and said:
"Alright, everyone, stop praising each other. Jun, you'll be staying in room 211 from now on. Here's your room key. Jōichirō, help Jun with her luggage and show her how to use the hot water and other amenities."
"Alright, Mrs. Fumio, rest assured and leave everything to me. I will make sure XiaoJun gets used to life at our Polar Star Residence as soon as possible!"
Saiba helped Jun Shiomi with her luggage and then happily ran upstairs.
Jun Shiomi quickly followed.
After the two left, Gin Dojima said to Ryūga:
"I don't think Jōichirō is reliable, so Ryūga, you have to take good care of Shiomi from now on."
"I understand, don't worry, I'll take good care of Shio-mi!"
Ryūga answered in response.
Ryūga knew why Gin Dojima said Jōichirō was unreliable, because Ryūga himself had experienced this firsthand.
After learning about his predecessor's memories, Ryūga discovered that her predecessor had indeed been poisoned by Jōichirōs tea countless times.
Jōichirō has a penchant for making horrifying, culinary disasters, which he often forces to be tasted by new students. Over time, once the new students get to know Jōichirō, they tend to keep their distance from him.
Even Ryūga, the original Ryūga, had developed an instinctive reaction to avoid Jōichirō's cooking after being poisoned by his tea countless times.
Now that everyone has become immune to Jōichirō, he has set his sights on Jun Shiomi as his next target.
Ryūga knew that such a thing had indeed happened in the original story, which is why Jōichirō eventually became the lingering nightmare of Jun Shiomi in later generations.
I need to find an opportunity to have a serious talk with Jun Shiomi about this!
Just as Ryūga was silently pondering, Mrs. Fumio spoke up:
"Ryūga, I heard you've changed a lot lately. What happened? Are you feeling any pressure?"
