Seeing Alice Nakiri's actions, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but shiver, then turned his head away, not daring to look at them. Shiina Mashiro also took the opportunity to sit down at this moment, meeting his gaze.
"Hmph, good thing you came back in time, but you won't be forgiven without compensation. You've been holding back for over two months. You and Erina must have had a lot of fun in the Other World!"
Whether it was an illusion or not, Hoshino Sora detected a hint of sourness in Alice Nakiri's tone. But it was normal; Erina Nakiri had been alone with him for so long. As someone who had always liked to compete with Erina in various aspects since childhood, Alice would definitely be jealous and displeased about falling behind in this regard.
"Cough, cough, we went to explore the Other World, not to sightsee."
"I don't believe it! Disobedient children need to be punished~"
Hoshino Sora explained softly, but Alice Nakiri became even more displeased upon hearing his words. She immediately unbuttoned her clothes and bent over, pressing down.
Seeing this, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but gasp.
"Sisters, let's act! Let this heartless guy know our power!"
Looking at Hoshino Sora, who couldn't help but gasp, a hint of triumph flashed in Alice Nakiri's eyes. Then she slightly raised her head and signaled to her sisters to act.
At once, various parts of Hoshino Sora's body were attacked by different girls. An indescribable sensation emanated from within, making the young man gasp.
As for Erina Nakiri? She had already escaped to the Gourmet Manor, taking Merchant Xingchen with her, not wanting the young girl to witness such a scene. Of course, it was also to avoid being 'retaliated' against herself.
The girls who hadn't been pampered, upon seeing her, the one who had accompanied Hoshino Sora for two months, who knew what they would do? At that time, Hisako might not even side with her. To avoid this situation, she chose to temporarily avoid the limelight.
Anyway, after tonight, everything would return to normal.
Erina Nakiri had confidence in Hoshino Sora's combat power; he could definitely satisfy all the girls.
However, even if he was extraordinary, facing these 'long-parched meeting sweet rain' maidens, the final outcome probably wouldn't be much better. She hoped he would still be standing when they met next time.
"Mistress, where did Master go?"
Gourmet Manor, kitchen in the Dimensional Restaurant.
Erina Nakiri was teaching Merchant Xingchen how to cook, appearing somewhat distracted. Suddenly, Merchant Xingchen stopped cooking, curiously turning her head to ask her where Hoshino Sora had gone.
"Hoshino-kun? He went to handle some personal matters. We'll stay here for the night and leave tomorrow."
Hearing the question, Erina Nakiri awkwardly scratched her face, then spoke earnestly. However, her cheeks flushed even more when she thought about what Hoshino Sora was handling.
"Handling matters?"
Looking at Erina Nakiri, Merchant Xingchen clearly felt that something was off, but she couldn't pinpoint it. So, she stopped thinking about it and focused on the cuisine in front of her.
With Erina Nakiri as her instructor, Merchant Xingchen's progress was remarkably fast.
On the other side, Hoshino Sora was passively drawn into a great victory. Faced with a very angry girl, he could only close his eyes and passively meet the attack. However, this immediately opened the door to a new world for him.
Why does it feel so much more intense with my eyes closed than with them open?! Where does that faint sense of excitement come from? He was clearly the one being forced, yet he felt this way...
Strange, it's truly too strange!
Enjoying this feeling, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face. Seeing his expression, Alice Nakiri's heart immediately filled with a hint of dissatisfaction. It was supposed to be a punishment, so why did he look like he had received a reward? Thus, she intensified her attacks.
Throughout the entire night, Hoshino Sora fought against many, finally achieving a difficult victory.
Of course, he faked it, because seeing the girls struggle to attack him, he feigned weakness so they wouldn't feel like their efforts were in vain.
He pretended to be completely exhausted, lying on the bed, embracing them. Although the girls were very weak, they still maintained a victorious posture, because for them, it was a rare and great triumph!
Hoshino Sora was truly unable to fight again!
As the morning sun rose, its rays illuminated the mess inside the room. At this moment, Alice Nakiri was sprawled on Hoshino Sora, looking languid. The ropes that had bound Hoshino Sora had long been torn to shreds with everyone's combined effort.
"Erina-sama…"
Hisako Arato slept on Hoshino Sora's right side, muttering in her sleep. Clearly, not seeing Erina Nakiri yesterday had made her one of the main targets for everyone to vent their dissatisfaction.
Of course, since they were all sisters, they wouldn't do anything excessive. At most, they would make her exert more effort during the great battle, and then apply pressure from behind when the others were fighting Hoshino Sora.
And Hisako Arato, as expected of a descendant of a medicinal cuisine family, had the strongest body among these girls. She could fight to the end even against the formidable Hoshino Sora!
In the morning, no one on the bed had the energy to get up. Everyone had vented over a month's worth of loneliness, and each had used all their strength, which resulted in such astonishing achievements!
— — — — — — — — — —
"Hmm? Why isn't she here today?"
Looking at the empty kitchen, a beautiful middle-aged woman muttered to herself in confusion. This was Alice Nakiri's master, known as the God of Molecular Cuisine. She perfectly combined Molecular Cuisine with traditional culinary arts and was very famous in the Western Cuisine world.
"She's late. That's not like her."
In another kitchen, a small, silver-haired old woman leaned on a cane and wondered. The surroundings were empty, and logically, a simple young girl should have been standing here.
She was "Granny Lingyao," Hisako Arato's teacher. She possessed extremely strong skills in medicinal cuisine. Her medicinal cuisine had once improved the condition of an elderly person who had received a critical illness notice, and it had made weak children strong, giving them far more strength than their peers!
She was a treasure of the culinary world, a true master, over ninety years old this year, but she looked like she was in her seventies, with eyes that were very bright, more spirited than a fifty-year-old man!
This was a true external manifestation!
Similar scenes played out in various parts of the Oriental Academy. If people knew, they would be greatly surprised, because those experiencing this were all grandmasters, and usually, the appearance of just one would cause many chefs to flock, hoping to become their disciples.
"Hey, Sister Liu, your apprentice didn't come either?"
"Yes, you too? What's wrong with them? Were they kidnapped? They're not usually like this. No, I'm starting to worry. Why don't we have our subordinates go look for them at their homes?"
"Okay, I'll hang up first."
It was chaos, complete chaos. Many culinary grandmasters called each other, secretly anxious, sending their subordinates to search. However, very soon, a phone call completely put their minds at ease.
"It's fine. My apprentice told me yesterday that she would be reuniting with her man today and taking a day off. Your apprentices should be the same, after all, they are all that person's girlfriends."
This was a call from the former dean of the Oriental Academy. Someone had called him earlier to ask about the situation. After understanding it, he notified the masters of those related to his apprentice, telling them not to worry.
Understanding the situation, everyone relaxed. As long as there was no accident, everything was fine. However, as punishment for this matter, they would increase their training volume later!
Forgetting their master for a man, truly disobedient apprentices!
The masters grumbled in their hearts but also felt relieved. As long as their precious apprentices were fine, what was one day off?
But they truly were infatuated with men. Wasn't it just their boyfriends visiting? They were so excited that they didn't even have time to report it to them.
Wait, their boyfriends? Didn't that person venture deep into Gourmet Continent on his own? How did he suddenly come out? He must have gained a lot after staying there for over a month!
Thinking of this, the expressions of these grandmasters of the culinary world changed slightly. Without hesitation, they left their kitchens and headed towards the Oriental Academy's Ingredient Pavilion, wanting to see if there were any new arrivals.
This was also the fundamental reason they stayed at the Oriental Academy. This academy would provide them with top-tier ingredients as salary, which was what they needed most: high-level ingredients from the Other World!
Because new ingredients allowed for trying new cuisine. For those who had already reached the pinnacle of the Chinese culinary world, the Other World was undoubtedly a broader new path!
And the condition for joining this path was to join the Oriental Academy. The academy would provide them with rare ingredients from the Other World every month.
However, unfortunately, they would be disappointed this time, because Hoshino Sora did not return through the proper channels. He smuggled himself back from his restaurant, so naturally, he would not hand over what he obtained from Gourmet Continent.
"What?! Hoshino Sora is back!"
Inside the principal's office, Lin Han's beautiful eyes widened in slight surprise.
Hoshino Sora is back? How did he come back?! Without her permission, how could he pass through the realm gate? Even if he did, how did she not receive any news at all?!
Could it be that…
He found a new realm gate?!
