"Grandfather a-are you s-saying that-" She didn't even have to finish her sentence, when her grandfather simply nodded.
"Hey old man I'm finish! Why are you saying my name out loud all of a sud-" Sōma didn't finished what he was going to because of the thing that was in front of him. Eight pair of eyes are staring at him, and he saw his favorite lilac colored eyes.
"Oh my... Why is my queen doing here all of a sudden?"
Her voice trailed with surprise, and was little shaky due to the name the redhead kept addressing her. But still managed to give little bit of venom in that sentence.
"I can ask you the same thing commoner"
"Commoner? Queen? Erina, are you like a couple! Oh my gosh that is so sweet" Alice squealed. "It's not like that! And stop talking nonsense!" The now flustered blonde retorted.
"Hey gramps. So, want to explain why the two Nakiri princesses are here?" Sōma chimed in. The headmaster who was happily watching his two-granddaughter bicker, turned his face into a serious expression, then nervously stared at the two Nakiris.
"W-Well? I also don't know. But since they're here, might as well introduce you. Alice, Erina I introduce you to Yukihira Sōma, he is the only chef, that rivals both of your fame overseas, even if he's real identity is unknown to the media and the public. The only people lucky enough to see his face is subordinates, and the chefs he worked with. Alice if you want to know more about Young Sōma, just ask your cousin, since she knows him for a while. Because we've got matters to attend to." Senzaemon exclaimed.
"Mou... Answer me Erina! How do you know him? Did you have tasting appointments with him? Or are you like a couple?" Alice teased, but her words fell on deaf ears as the other Nakiri was making her way for the door.
"Leaving so soon Erina? Why don't you also take a bite? I'm sure this time, that I'll make you say it!" The male chef exclaimed while having a toothy grin. "In your dreams Yukihira! Even if you're now some famous chef abroad, you can't make me say that your cooking is delicious. So please excuse me for I've got a Research Society to destroy." Erina shouted in annoyance. And to make the situation worse her aide Hisako Arato, barged in, making everyone surprised by the aide's sudden appearance.
"Erina-sama! The members of your faction are he- YUKIHIRA!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Hisako shouted while moving in front of Erina, to hopefully "protect" her. "You're so loud, secretary-chan. I just want my queen here to taste my dish. Is that bad?" Said Sōma while pulling out a plate out of a cabinet, and ignoring the flushed blonde and Pinkett.
"Enough of this. Young Sōma tell about your dish" An impatient Senzaemon glared at the five teenagers across the room, while crossing his arms then sitting it at the table. "Oh yeah! Forgot about that. Sorry old man" The red head sheepishly said while rubbing the back of his head.
"It's wild caught Salmon grilled over charcoal, with chimichurri sauce!" The boy flashed a "V" hand pose, and a wide grin.
"Is that so? Well then, let's see how you've grown." Senzaemon said nervously as he eyed the perfectly grilled fish.
…
As soon as the male Nakiri took a bite, he was transported to the past. He saw a familiar face, the face he always loved dearly. His wife. Looking around he saw a beautiful lake, and his wife trying to operate a fishing rod. He looks around more and saw a mirror, he saw his face and he look like he was back in his thirties.
"Senzaemon! Can you help me?" A woman asked in a cheerful way.
"Alright! Wait there." A young Senzaemon said while heading for his wife. Minutes after he helped his beautiful wife. A squeal came out from her mouth.
"I think I caught a Salmon, Senzaemon!" Senzaemon's wife happily said while being helped by the man. A few struggling later, the fish was caught and his wife's intuition was right. It was a Salmon.
"Let's grill it." Senzaemon exclaimed.
...
"You've certainly grown Yukihira." The old man gleefully said, while wiping his face with a napkin.
"Huh? Where's the other three?" The redhead asked in a surprised tone. As soon as the male chef bid his good bye, he quickly ran towards the huge living room with a plate of Salmon, hoping to find the others.
…
"Erina-sama! The Don Rs has agreed to fight me in a Shokugeki." The meat master happily said. "Well done Ikumi. You can have the space of the Don Rs for your personal kitchen." The blonde said while looking at a clip board.
"Hey Erina! So, this is where you've gone off to. I've been searching for you." Soma chimed in as his head popped in front of the two maidens. "Don't you even dare to use Erina-sama's first name you diner brat!" The tanned woman angrily shouted. "And first of all, why are you here?! Are you spying on Erina-sama? You Pervert!" She added.
"Didn't know your faction was disrespectful, Erina" Soma said with a fake hurt voice, but all of the members gasped in surprise as soon as Erina gave a small giggle. Quickly noticing the mistake, she made, the blonde quickly composed herself, then returned to her natural "Ice Queen" attitude everyone is scared of.
Well except the dense red-haired chef, that's standing in front of her.
"What do you want, Yukihira? And please make it quick, because as you can see, I have something to discuss with my faction." Erina's words were traced with venom, but due to Soma's idiotic mind. He wasn't affected, but rather all of the members, even though they weren't the one targeted.
'How can he stay so calm?!'
'This guy has guts for sure'
"Oh right! I just want you to taste my dish" Soma pointed to the fish he was holding. Without sparing a second One of the members of the faction, Ikumi to be precise. Exclaimed. "How dare you! Everyone must pay a fortune for Erina-sama to taste their dishes. Not only that you trespassed here, only people who were invited by the Nakiri family, and chef's great enough to impress Erina-sama are allowed to set foot on these grounds. You have no right to be here, commoner!"
"Well… I think I qualified for the two conditions, blondie-san. But enough of that! Erina~ taste my dish. It's good you know, even the old man approved of it."
Even after how long she wanted to taste his cooking again. Nakiri Erina has a pride of a lioness, so she found herself lying. "Everyone has a normal tongue Yukihira! Except for me. I'm the God's Tongue, Bearer of the most sensitive palate known to mankind. And you expect me to taste that trash?" She said with a smug grin, which gained an applause from all of the faction members.
"Do I really need to shove this into your mouth?"
"What do you mean shov-" Soma didn't even wait for the blonde maiden to finish her sentence, when he suddenly shoved a spoon filled with his dish into her mouth. Gaining shouts from everyone, including Erina's aide. Hisako.
…
After the redhead forcefully shoved a piece of his dish. She was hit with flavors left and right, and like her grandfather she was also transported to the past. Looking around to see where she is, she found a young Soma probably at the age of five teaching a young blonde standing on a stool cutting techniques. Wanting to know who the young redhead is teaching, Erina approached the two, and she found herself surprised and flushing.
She was the one who was being taught.
"I can't believe it! Why does grandfather want you to teach me?! Your pork roast isn't even delicious. It's incredibly disgusting." The young Erina said. "Come on Erina... You can start saying bad things about me when you can reach the counter" The redhead said with a teasing face, then gave a hearty laugh making the latter flush. "I can't stand you anymore! I'm telling grandfather. You're no help anyway" Erina said, then hopped off the stool she was standing on. A few meters away from the door Erina was stopped by a hand holding her wrist.
"Don't go please…" The young boy said in a low voice. This surprised the girl, and started flushing because of the sudden change of the boy's affection and how embarrassed he was. Because of the flushed cheeks the boy cause, Erina just nodded then hopped back to her stool.
Erina was in disbelief. Just a minute ago she was with her faction, now here she was, reminiscing one of the best memories she ever experienced.
The redhead though… just started teaching, and teasing. Basically, he acted like nothing really happened. Unbeknownst to the two young chef, there are two man peeking at the kitchen door.
"See they act like a couple, even they just met three hours ago. So, I'll give it ten to eleven years." Soma's father or Joichiro whispered to the man beside him.
"So, when they're on their high school years?" Senzaemon asked.
…
"How? How did you make this?" The blonde was practically holding the blushing male chef by the collar. "If you let me go, I might tell you." He whispered to her ear close that she can feel his breath. Wanting to get done with this situation Erina practically threw Soma to the floor.
"If you want to know how I made it. I just added one secret ingredient" He stated. Making everyone in the room interested, and curios.
"The secret ingredient is Love" He said while holding up his arms. A few seconds later, a smack sound resonated through the whole mansion. And Senzaemon just found a knocked-out Soma and angry and embarrassed Erina.
Let's just say that Soma didn't make it time for the Polar Star Dorm party.
