Francesco Capogna: "I already love this story, you did a grat work and I ship Soma x Erina...sorry but I just neded to tell that...ofcourse is your choose the main ship but I only want to tell you that I ship Soma x Erina" - Rest assured, I ship them too. Hell they are perfect for eachother. A lot think about Soma x Megumi but come on. It's clear as day that Soma doesn't see Megumi like that!

With that said, let's jump right into the journey!

Disclaimer: Will never forget that I do NOT own Shokugeki No Soma


After showering and dressing up he exited his room and went downstairs straight outside to the garden of the Polar Star Dormitory. On the way to the garden he was greeted by Isshiki, "Good morning Soma-kun! Quite early awake, aren't you?" Isshiki said in his happy-go-lucky voice. "Yeah, just couldn't sleep any longer. Mind if I help ya, senpai?" Soma grinned.

"Ah, yes! This is the essence of youth! Two students helping each other out with morning labor! How blissful." Isshiki said very happy.

Now that the garden has been taken care of, Soma felt awake and he didn't need any rest.

Soma looked at his watch. It was currently 6:39. A few residents should be awake by now so he went straight into the kitchen because it was his turn to make breakfast for everyone. 'Hmm, what should I make today?' Soma deep in thought didn't realise that someone was walking up to him from behind.

"Good morning Yukihira-kun." the voice called out. Soma still deep in thought didn't hear the voice greeting him and he kept thinking of what to make.

"Yukihira-kun, are you okay?" the voice asked in confusion while moving to Somas side to get his attention. "Oh, didn't see ya there Yuki, good mornin'." Soma greeted her.

"Is it your turn to cool today? I can't wait to eat your food again!" Yuki exclaimed full of energy when she knew that it's his turn to cook. 'Hmm they always get so excited when I'm the one cooking, guess that a good thing' Soma thought with a grin plastered on his face.

"Yeah it is, and I just made my mind up on what to make. Say Yuki, why don't you get the dining table ready and wake everyone up? Breakfast is ready in roughly 30 minutes." Soma asked with a smile.

"Sure!" Yuki rapidly set the dining table and went upstairs to wake everyone else up.

Soma prepared all ingredients that he needed and started cooking.

Everyone assembled at the table and patiently waited to taste the 1st seats breakfast once again. Everyone but Megumi.

"Say, does anyone know where Megumi is?" Ryoko asked with a tired expression. "She told me she wasn't hungry and will skip this time. She also repeatedly apologised for not coming." Yuki explained. Erina started having a worried expression. "Erinacchi, you okay?" Yuki carefully asked. "Uhm, err, yeah. It's nothing." Erina remarked.

With that, Soma started coming outside of the kitchen with two plates in each hand. They were covered with a translucent cover but everyone saw a tiny bit of smoke making its way out.

Soma told all of them not to remove the cover yet and to wait until everyone had their plate.

Ibusaki went inside and gave Soma a hand to carry all the plates to the table.

"Where's Tadokoro?" Soma questioned the others. "She said she isn't hungry." Ryoko explained Soma. 'Hm, weird. But okay I guess.' Soma thought inwardly.

"Anyway, you can remove the cover now. Dig in!" Soma said while a wonderful smile was covering his face. "W-What is this?!" everyone said, as if they all were one person, surprised.

"Hehe, this is my Yukihira Style Eggs Hussarde!" Soma proudly said while pointing to the Yukihira logo on his chest.

Everyone took a bite when suddenly every single one of them felt as if they were transported into an Utopia of food. Everything was so peaceful and quiet. "Yukhgighra dis ish so gwud!" Yuki yelled whilst munching down the dish in front of her.

While everyone was speechless, Erina was again in a trance with a bright smile on her face. She couldn't believe it, that this tasted so delicious. "Erina-chan, are you okay?" Isshiki brightly asked. Hearing his voice she instantly recovered from her trance. "Err, y-yeah I'm fine. Thanks." Erina said embarrassed. "I really wonder what the famed 'God's Tongue' thinks about this. How did he make this so delicious anyway?!" Daigo laughed.

"It's a take on egg-" Soma began explaining when he was interrupted by Erina explaining the dish. "It's similar to the Egg's Benedict but he incorporated a rich red wine sauce instead of white vinegar. Also the fact that it's been covered in smoke for a small amount of time just makes all the flavors even better." Erina stated.

"How did you come up with that Yukihira? It's so delicious!" Shoji said. "Very delicious indeed." Isshiki remarked.

"It wasn't much!" Soma said his standard catchphrase with a grin. "And it was just an idea that popped into my mind this morning." Soma explained.

"As expected of the first seat!" Everyone said in unison.

Memory ends here


"Erina-sama! Erina-sama!" Erina faintly heard someone call her. She slowly opened her eyes and was greeted by a worried Hisako that had a look of fear in her eyes. "Hi.. Hisako?" Erina slowly said. "Erina-sama you're finally awake! I was about to call for help!" Hisako panically said. "Oh, I must have fallen asleep. I'm so sorry Hisako for worrying you." Erina apologised.

"It's nothing, I'm just glad that you finally have woken up. You were sound asleep for at least 40 minutes." Hisako explained.

Right after Hisako explaining, Erina's phone started ringing. 'Who would be so rude to call me at this hour', Erina let out a heavy sigh and checked who the caller was. When she realised who it was, she immediately picked up. "Yukihira-kun?! Where are you!" Erina said with a touch of relief and anger in her voice.

"Yoo Erina! Sorry but stuff came up and I'll be outta the country for a while. Don't miss me, okay? Love ya!" Soma said and ended the call. Erina was shocked and angry. How dare he just do the same thing twice in one day!

Suddenly Erina's cheeks turned red when she realised what he just said. 'Y-You idiot! How c-can he just s-say that so casually!' Erina thought. "Erina-sama, are you not feeling well?" Hisako asked.

"I.. I-Im fine, Hisako. Don't worry." Erina tried to recompose herself. "So just by looking at you, it was Soma-kun, right?" Hisako said with a grin. "Y-Yes.." admitted Erina.

"So what is he doing right now? What'd he say?" Hisako asked. "..." Erina didn't answer.

Hisako realised that Erina felt devastated. "..Erina-sama?" Hisako worried, asked her again.

"He said he's going to be out of the country for a while…" Erina silently said while a frown started showing on her face.

"You really love him don't you, Erina-sama?" Hisako said. "Y-Yes! I mean no! I would never like such an idiot!" Erina rapidly said while her cheeks kept getting redder.

"Erina-sama, everyone knew that both of you were dating," Hisako chuckled. "you two are perfect for eachother and everyone thinks the same!" she added.

"R-Really?" Erina asked in shock.

"Yes! Anyway, what happened to Soma-kun? Suddenly leaving the country?" Hisako said.

"I don't know… all he said was that something came up." Erina frowned.

"Hm, must be important then, don't you think the same Erina-sama?"


Back to the time where Soma was at his diner

"Oh.. yeah, I planned to go today too, dad. Wouldn't make it tomorrow." Soma, slightly sad, remarked.

'How long has it been already..' Jouichirou thought to himself. 'Look, honey. Our kid has grown so much already. Please keep watching over us.'

With that said, they made their way to the grave and offered her favourite meal.

"Say dad, do you think it would be rude if I just left Japan for a while?" Soma asked.

"What's dat now, kiddo? Tryna be like your old man?" Jouichirou grinned.

"Oi old man! Dont'cha think that I'm gonna be like you! Already told ya didn't I? I'm gonna be better than ya!" Soma retorted. "Just kiddin' kid, just make sure it's the right decision you make." Jouichirou said.

"I just think.. that mom will be proud.." Soma added. 'See honey? Be proud of him.' his dad thought. "Don't worry, bet she's the proudest mom in the world." Jouichirou smiled.

"Anyway old man, how did you and mom meet?" Soma asked curiously. Jouichirou was caught off guard with his question but he rapidly answered. "Soma. I tell ya, when I saw your mother it was love at first sight." he said.

"Really? How did you know?" Soma cocked his head in surprise.

"Well for me at least! I tell ya she made me work a lot in the diner when I dropped out of Totsuki. She didn't even know who I was!", he said. "But I tell ya Soma. She made me feel like I wanted to only cook for her." Jouichirou smiled brightly. Soma just started bursting out in laughter.

"Guess I'll have to make a phone call before I leave the country." Soma chuckled and took out his phone to make a call.

He held his phone to his ear and suddenly heard Erina shouting. "Yukihira-kun?! Where are you!" he knew by listening to her voice that she wasn't angry.

"Yoo Erina! Sorry but stuff came up and I'll be outta the country for a while. Don't miss me, okay? Love ya." with that he ended the call and looked at his old man that had a grin on his face.

"Oho.. my kid is finally growing up. And here I thought ya would be too dense!" Jouichirou bursted out laughing.

"Whaddya mean!? I'm not dense!" Soma retorted.

"Just kidding kid!" once again he laughed. "Also Soma, how about ya travel with me for a while?" his dad asked seriously. "There's some stuff that I will also have to tell you while travelling."

Soma was taken aback by the sudden seriousness his dad showed.

"Ya got it!" Soma agreed.
