Satou turned his head and saw Akikubo Momo, but her eyes were looking elsewhere, acting as if nothing was amiss.
"Akikubo-senpai, was that you speaking just now?"
He asked.
A rare faint blush appeared on Akikubo Momo's face, clearly very embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, she still nodded and said, "Yes, can you sell me half of this egg? I want to try making dessert with it."
As soon as Satou took out the Chansey egg, she was attracted by this egg she had never seen before. With her natural keen intuition for cuteness, she quickly fell in love with this egg and felt that using it to make desserts would be very delicious.
Satou was a little surprised. Akikubo Momo, who was always expressionless and seemed to care about nothing, seemed to be interested in something so much for the first time.
"But, what did you call me just now?"
He asked.
"Su Pian."
Akikubo Momo said.
"That's not my name."
Satou shook his head, then extended a finger and flicked her forehead, saying, "I say, can't you just call me by my correct name?"
Actually, when he first met Akikubo Momo, Satou had really wanted to do that to her forehead.
Although Akikubo Momo was a third-year student, her figure was petite and her appearance cute. Plus, she carried a teddy bear all day, making her seem more like a little girl pretending to be an adult, which made one want to tease her a bit.
So Satou couldn't resist and flicked her. And the sensation was indeed quite nice.
Especially the "dong" sound, which was exceptionally clear and pleasant to the ear.
Akikubo Momo stood there blankly, hugging her teddy bear, not reacting for a moment. This was the first time anyone had dared to do this to her!
"Su Mian, you actually dare to treat me like this!"
Her expression instantly turned cold, and a terrifying murderous aura emanated from her.
Kuga Terunori, Erina Nakiri, and the others who witnessed this scene were all stunned.
Although Akikubo Momo looked like a little girl, she was known as the "Dessert Queen" at Far Moon, and her aura was terrifying. Even her classmates were respectful towards her. This was the first time anyone dared to flick her forehead in public.
Kuga Terunori even swallowed hard.
"That's not my name."
However, Satou was fearless, ignoring Akikubo Momo's murderous gaze, and flicked her forehead again, just like he would a little girl.
Who told her that she needed something from him now?
A vein faintly throbbed on Akikubo Momo's forehead; she was clearly on the verge of exploding, and the aura around her became increasingly terrifying.
"Su Ping."
She gritted her teeth and said.
"Not that."
With a "dong," Satou flicked her forehead again.
"Su Nian."
"Wrong."
Another flick.
"Satou, is this alright now?!"
The last time, Akikubo Momo almost shrieked it out, her cheeks flushed crimson, and tears faintly shimmered in the corners of her eyes, looking just like a little girl who had been bullied.
Kuga Terunori and Erina Nakiri beside them were dumbfounded, and even Kobayashi Rindo and Nagi-no-ki Touko momentarily forgot to speak.
"Is that really the Akikubo-senpai with the terrifying aura?"
Kuga Terunori asked blankly.
"That's more like it. Call me by that name from now on."
Satou nodded with satisfaction, then poured half of the Chansey egg into a bowl and handed it to Akikubo Momo, saying, "Here you go, Akikubo-senpai."
Although he called her "senpai," no matter how one looked at it, it seemed like he was coaxing a little girl with candy.
"Hmph! Su Pian!"
Akikubo Momo snorted coldly, took it, then hugged her teddy bear, and turned to walk away. From her expression, she seemed a little smug.
Satou was a little helpless for a moment.
"Actually, Akikubo-senpai is still a child at heart, isn't she?"
Erina Nakiri swallowed, not knowing what to say. At this moment, she suddenly noticed Satou looking at her with a strange gaze.
"What's wrong?"
She asked in a huff.
Satou shook his head, thinking, 'You Tsundere, aren't you just like a child at heart?'
"Yes."
Kuga Terunori nodded, then glanced at Akikubo Momo, who was standing on a stool and already starting to make dessert. Suddenly, he felt an urge to tease her.
"That touch just now felt really good."
Kuga Terunori quietly walked over, looking like he also wanted to give her a tap on the forehead.
At this moment, Akikubo Momo suddenly turned her head and stared at him with icy eyes.
Kuga Terunori instantly deflated, letting out a dry chuckle, "Haha, I just wanted to come over and see what dessert Akikubo-senpai plans to make."
Meanwhile, Satou had already started making Shredded Pork and Runaway Eggs.
The key to this dish, Shredded Pork and Runaway Eggs, lies in the word "runaway." "Runaway" actually means tossing the iron wok, throwing the eggs in the pan into the air, and then catching them with the wok.
It might look simple, but it's actually very difficult.
The iron woks commonly used in Chinese cuisine are very heavy, testing one's physical strength. And throwing the eggs into the air and catching them while maintaining their integrity requires precise control over one's strength.
If it were before, Satou might have struggled a bit, but now he had dragon cells in him. Even with only one percent completion, his physical strength far surpassed that of a normal person.
The heavy iron wok was like a toy in his hands. The golden scrambled eggs inside constantly tumbled back and forth in the wok, and an aroma of scrambled eggs gradually wafted out.
Kuga Terunori, who was making Mapo Tofu, immediately looked serious.
Stir-frying is an essential skill for Chinese cuisine chefs. As the Eighth Seat, his fundamental skills in this area were exceptionally solid, yet he couldn't do it as effortlessly as Satou!
Nagi-no-ki Touko was also secretly surprised.
Among the Elite Ten, her strength was the greatest because kneading dough required a lot of strength; the stronger one's arm strength, the chewier and tastier the noodles would be. But looking at this, it seemed Satou's strength was even greater than hers!
However, Satou's physique was relatively slender, and there was no indication that he possessed such immense strength!
"This year's new students seem exceptionally strong! Perhaps they might even surpass the strongest batch in history!"
Nagi-no-ki Touko glanced at Satou, then at Erina Nakiri beside him, muttering to herself.
