"Speaking"
"thinking"
On with the story
Everyone in the Polar Star Dorm was in celebration as they congratulate, Soma, Takumi, and Megumi who are going to be in the second preliminary match
"cheers!" they all shouted as everyone drink Ryoko's rice juice
"come everyone! The night is young!" Isshiki shouted while wearing his usual apron on
"it's A PERVERT!" Ikumi screams at the horrid sight and that is Isshiki's bare ass
"is this the Seventh Seat?" Takumi asked with a pale face as he was disgusted by the sight of the man's bare behind
"I feel gross" Isami said in agreement to his brother while trying to hold in a puke
"hahahaha" Soma laughed as everyone celebrated in the party
Soma watches as everyone laughs, eats, and party with fun. He smiles before hearing his cellphone ringing
He reaches into his pocket and pulled it out, he looks to the caller and smiled
"got to take this" Soma said to the others as he went back inside to answer the call
"hey" Soma said as he was greeted back
"you did it, that dish of yours was incredible, I'm proud of you" it was Erina and she was smiling in joy to his amazing dish and score on the match
"yeah, but I couldn't have done it without my friends" Soma said as he looks outside to see everyone still partying hard
"I see, do you have some time before 8?" Erina asked as Soma thinks about it before replying "yeah, do you want me to come over?" he asked Erina who replied with a hum
"I'll be there" Soma replied as the call ended
"sorry guys, duty calls me" Soma said before he went downstairs
"where is he going?" Takumi asked while looking flushed
"dunno" Ikumi replied while looking flushed as well
Soma was riding his bicycle as he puts the pedal to the medal to get to Erina's home
After minutes of cycling, he reaches the mansion as Erina was waiting for him in the front door
"sorry, I'm late" Soma said as he parks his bike near the bushes
"no, you're just in time" Erina said with a smile as the two entered in and Soma finds himself in the dinning table with Senzaemon, Alice, Ryo, Hayama, and Hisako
"what's this all about?" Soma said as he pulled a chair and let Erina sit on before he sits beside her
"a celebration of course!" Alice exclaimed while having a party hat on "it's not logic if we don't celebrate such an occasion!"
"why am I here again?" Hayama asked with a sweatdropped as the man was dragged to the mansion by Alice who managed to convinced Shiomi to let Hayama go out of the research seminar and into the celebration party
"just give up, when Alice-Ojou wants to do something, she will do anything to get it done" Ryo said while looking lazy as ever
"your tone doesn't match your words" Hayama told the man
"let us start the celebration" Senzaemon said as he clapped his hands and maids came with trolleys filled with many delectable dishes of all sort "dig in, you all deserve it" the old man smiles as everyone enjoys the dinner together
Soma bites on a steak dish as he smiles to the delicious flavour
"good, right?" Erina asked as Soma nodded before he saw a little amount of sauce on the side of Erina's lips
"you got something here" Soma said as he wipes her lips with his thumbs before licking it
Erina blushes a bit as the action reminded her of her romance manga
"hey! No fair being lovey dovey!" Alice exclaimed at Erina
"w-what!? No we're not!" Erina exclaimed as Alice puffs her cheeks
"what Erina can do, I can do better!" Alice shouted as she smothered some sauce near her lips "Ryo clean me up!"
"yes….." Ryo replied lazily as he grabs a napkin
"no! like how Yukihira-kun did!" Alice exclaimed to her aide
"but using this is way better…" Ryo told her before getting nagged by Alice
Alice continues to nag at her aide while Hayama and Hisako eats in peace
Soma smiles as he enjoys spending the dinner with everyone
Soon the moon rises to its peak as everyone needed the time to rest
Hayama was given a ride back home by one of the Nakiri's private car while Soma was chatting a bit with Erina in front of the mansion's entrance
"it was good dinner" Soma said "I can tell that some of the dish were made by you"
Erina smiles to Soma before she got a pat to the head by the man
"I'll come by tomorrow and bring some fun game for all of us to play" Soma said as Erina nodded with excitement in her eyes
Soma chuckles while smiling before he gives her a kiss on the forehead as Erina blushed to the action
"Erina…." Soma whispered out her name as he gives her a hug. Erina hugs him back as Soma caresses her back "…good night"
Erina nodded back before Soma and her separates from the hug
"see you tomorrow, Soma" Erina bid her goodbye to Soma before she entered back into her mansion while Soma gets on his bike
"I know you're there" Soma said as he heard the bushes moving near him "I don't care who you are or what you're doing but if it has anything to do to her, I won't be merciful when I get my hands on the knives"
A grin appeared in the shadow as Soma pedals his bike back on the way to the dorm
Soma cycles away out of the mansion as a large man appeared from the bushes
"interesting, very interesting, Yukihira Soma" the large figure said while smirking before walking away
Soma pedals his bike on the street as he cycle his way back home
As he goes back home, the thoughts of his rivals ran across his mind
"Hayama, Kurokiba, Takumi, everyone" he thought of them before he grins "let's duke it out in the Shokugeki!"
Soma rides his bike as he speed off far away as the moon shines bright in the night
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
