MY SORINA SPIRIT IS NOT DEAD YET!
So without a further a do, still making sorina, making them but getting hard to get an idea these days so started taking in requests by others
Well then
"speaking"
"thinking"
On with the story
At Totsuki, School for Elite Chefs
A Couple of certain students were walking around in the hallway carrying large boxes filled with books
"this is why I hate being grouped up with you, Aki" Kaori told Aki while having an annoyed and angry look to the blonde "because of you! My afternoon of planning to do some test cooking with my dad went down the drain!"
"sorry sorry!" Aki said with a grin as she laughs just like that of her father who is so carefree of serious school things "I'll make it up to you next time!"
"that's what you said the last time you got us into trouble" Dan said carrying two boxes instead of one as the young Kurokiba was as strong as his father who always worked out just like his own son "and you never make it up to us"
"really? I guess I always forgot" Aki said while sticking out her tongue before giggling
"why are we even best friends in the first place?" Rentaro asked before sighing "haaa, I want to go home and sleep"
It was just a normal day in Totsuki for these four, cooking and study as always but Aki just had to do a prank that was supposed to be for another student but it ended up on a teacher who is in the horror of Kaori and the others, Roland Chappelle. In addition, the Never Smiling Chef just gave them a not very happy glaring gaze
So, they were now punished by the teacher and had to carry away boxes of books away
As the four were carrying the boxes away, some students ran in the other corner of the hallway and bumped Aki's box
"agh! Hey!" Aki exclaimed before her box dropped to the ground and the books came out of it "come back here!"
Aki wanted to go after the students who bumped her without even saying sorry but they were already gone
"grrrr. When I find the ones who did this, I'm going to pay them pay full time!" Aki said angrily while cracking her knuckles
"yes yes, you can do that later" Kaori told Aki "right now, you need to pick those books up"
Aki grumbles before she started picking up the books on the floor and placed them back into her box but as she was going to pick up the other books, a photo came floating out of a book that she picked up
"what's that?" Rentaro asked as Aki picks the photo up and looks at it
"wha?!" Aki exclaimed as in the photo was her father in his teenage days and with a woman who she didn't recognize at all, the scene seems to be taken in Totsuki's cafeteria "it's my dad!"
This got Kaori and the others to look at the photo as it was undeniable that it was Aki's father and the Headmistress' husband
"wow, he looks young" Dan said
"that's because it's a photo taken a long time ago" Rentaro said with a sweatdrop, Kurokiba Dan was a great chef but was slow in knowing other things that are not related in cooking
"look at the date" Kaori said as she pointed to the bottom right edge of the photo where the date was "it was taken on 21st December 2019"
"the day I was born?!" Aki exclaimed in shock
"hey hey, you were born in 2039" Kaori and Rentaro told Aki as she was taking quick in taking something in without processing it
Rentaro looks at the photo as he just stares at it
"doesn't this woman look like your mom, Aki?" Rentaro asked as the others look at him and then the photo "See?"
Aki and the others look at the photo and the woman more closely as she had jet black hair, and blue eyes, not like Erina but the way she looks is exactly like Erina
"you know what, Dan's right. She does look like your mother" Kaori said
"yeah, there's no mistaking it" Rentaro added in
"but my mom has honey blonde hair and amethyst coloured eyes" Aki said before she looks in horror "did my mom had plastic surgery?!"
"NO GODDAMNIT! AND PLASTIC SURGERY ONLY CHANGES FACE! NOT HAIR COLOR AND EYE COLOR!" Kaori and Rentaro shouted at Aki while Dan just stands in the sidelines
"oh…" Aki said understanding it as Kaori and Rentaro sighs in tiredness
"hey, this book has my mom's name" Dan said as the others look at him and sees him holding up the book where the photo came out
Dan opened the front page of the book as there were some drawn doodles here and there but there was also Alice's name
"your mom has some weird characters when she was a teen" Rentaro said with a sweatdrop in seeing the drawn doodles
"thanks" Dan stated
"he's not complimenting you" Kaori said with a tick mark
"hmm, maybe Auntie Alice knows about the woman in the photo" Aki said as she closed the page and carries it upwards before more photos came falling out of the book
"make that Photos" Rentaro said as they started picking up the photos on the floor "that woman is in all of them"
"and with some of the 92nd Diamond Generation Alumnus and other earlier alumnus too, every single one of them" Kaori added in as there were photos of the woman with her mother and father as well
"yeah, but why is my mom not in any of them?" Aki asked looking confused as she picks up photos after photos checking every single one of them but didn't find her mother in any of them
"seriously, Aki?" everyone thought with a sweatdrop as Aki didn't realized that the black-haired woman is Nakiri Erina herself
"looks like there's only one way to find out the truth" Aki said standing up while holding the small pile of photos "we must find the answer by Auntie Alice!"
"why?" Dan asked looking bored
"I have to know! Who is this woman and why is she with my dad!" Aki exclaimed all patriotic while Kaori and Rentaro sighs tiredly
"what will that prove?" Dan asked again
"it will prove if my dad had an ex before getting together with my mom!" Aki exclaimed, her eyes on fire
"oh boy, her switch flipped" Kaori and Rentaro thought in unison as Yukihira Aki is a talented young chef but is a person who can be easily mis leaded by her own thoughts
"to the Astronomy Club Lab!" Aki exclaimed while grabbing Dan's hand and bolted away at high speed
"hey! Come back here! There's still the books and the boxes!" Kaori exclaimed but they were gone from sight. Kaori let out a sigh as she rubs the bridge of her nose in frustration
"you think we can use Aki as an excuse to Roland-sensei?" Rentaro asked
Within the Astronomy Club Lab, Alumnus and now a teacher of Totsuki, Kurokiba Alice was inside the lab doing some food experiment while her husband was sweeping the floor in a butler uniform
Alice did some humming as she mix some orange and lemon juices together before pouring them into a tomato juice glass. She then lifts the glass up and shakes it in her hand to see the acid reaction when the door to the room was slammed open harshly surprising her and her husband
"Auntie Alice!" Aki shouted out while having Dan dragged around
"oh? Aki-chan and Danny. What brings you two here?" Alice asked while greeting her niece and son
"we need the truth!" Aki exclaimed as she slams down to the table, the pile of photos "did my dad really love my mom?!"
"what?!" Alice exclaimed in shock as her face looks horrified "Yukihira-kun never loved Erina?!"
"so it's true?!" Aki exclaimed back looking more horrified "does that mean my dad never loved my mom?!"
"does that also mean that you are not Erina's daughter?!" Alice exclaimed as a lightning bolt had just struck down Aki
Aki started crying in tears as Alice hugged her while consoling her
"there there~! Auntie Alice is here for you~! No matter what you are my previous and cute niece~!" Alice said repeatedly while comforting Aki
Dan and Ryo were out in the side lines as they watched the two in their own world before seeing Kaori and Rentaro coming in
"oh that Aki, I'm going to kill her!" Kaori exclaimed as she and Rentaro had to carry away all their boxes on their own
"calm down, calm down" Rentaro said trying to calm Kaori from trying to kill their best friend
"what's going on here?" Hayama Akira, Alumnus and teacher of Totsuki came looking in by the door "you guys are so noisy"
30 minutes later
"so this is what the fuss about?" Akira asked while holding a photo in hand "who is this woman?"
"yeah! Who is she?! Is she my real mom?!" Aki exclaimed while still crying before she hugs Alice who cries as well
"how did she come to that type of conclusion?" Akira asked with a sweatdrop
"who knows?" Ryo said as the two alumni just looks at Alice who held a tissue to Aki's nose which blows out on it "seems like Ojou got mis leaded with her imaginations too"
"so, who is she, father?" Dan asked Ryo who picks up a photo and looks at the woman who was smiling with Soma
Ryo looks at the picture intensely with his lazy eyes before he looks at Dan and then to Akira
"hey, Hayama. Who is she?" Ryo asked as Akira sweatdropped
"it's Nakiri Erina! Did you go blind over the years, Kurokiba?!" Hayama exclaimed before he butts heads with Ryo
"what was that? You want to say that again in my face?" Ryo said in his berserk mode as the two old rivals got into it again
"I knew that it was the headmistress" Kaori said picking up another photo and looks at it
"but why is her hair black?" Rentaro asked, as Yukihira Erina seems to be someone who wouldn't change her image that much
"squid ink?" Dan said as Kaori and Rentaro sweatdropped
"why do you say that?" Rentaro asked
"squid ink is black, right? So her hair got squid ink and couldn't wash it off" Dan said as his imaginations goes wild
"what is it with their family?" Kaori asked
"I have no idea" Rentaro replied
"ahem" someone coughed out by the door as everyone turns to see Hisako coming in "might I remind that all students are to go back to their dorms and apartments before 5 o'clock. No exceptions allowed"
"oh boy! Bye!" Rentaro said looking at the clock before he scrams
"hey! Wait!" Kaori exclaimed as she runs out but her mother stopped her "Mom?"
"I need some explanation on what is going on here" Hisako said seeing how Alice was still hugging a Crying Aki, Hayama with Ryo were now in a sudden cook off, and Dan, well he just sat down and be the judge to the sudden cook off
Another 10 minutes later
"for the love of" Hisako said face palming "all of this nonsense because of Aki's imagination. How typical"
"so? why did Aunt Erina had a change of hair color and stuff?" Kaori asked her mother
"it was because of a bet that miss Alice made with her" Hisako explained "that bet was that Erina-sama has to dye her hair black and wear contact lenses until her hair color changes back"
"why make a bet like that?" Dan asked while eating some dishes that his dad and Akira prepared in their sudden cook off
"only she knows" Hisako said pointing to Alice who looks to have realization plastered on her face
"so I made a bet like that, huh? I must've forgot" Alice said laughing before doing a 'tee hee!' for her clumsiness
"honestly, you and your wild imaginations," Hisako said sighing
Night-time, at Nakiri's mansion
Soma was sitting on his bed as he was looking at some photos in an album
He flips the pages around while having a smile to see some nostalgic photos
"what are you doing?" Erina asked, coming out of the bathroom in a bath gown
"just looking at some photos" Soma replied as he flips another page of the album "Aki came in, bawling about some old photos, she found at school and got some weird imaginations from it"
"that girl, what are we going to do with her?" Erina said sighing as she started changing into her nightgown
"isn't it fine? I got some nice old photos back" Soma said as he lifted up the photos that Aki got earlier in the day
"ah! I thought I got rid of those!" Erina exclaimed while looking blush
"looks like you didn't" Soma said with a chuckle before his wife lunges at him
"give them to me! I'm going to burn them all!" Erina exclaimed as the two started wrestling on the bed before Soma overpowered Erina in an instant
The two laid down on the bed as the photos were all over the bed as well
"alright alright, but at least let me keep this one" Soma said as he takes out from his pocket the photo of him with Erina, the two having happy smiles together in their teenager days
"fine" Erina said sighing "but don't let Alice know of this"
"I promise" Soma said before he pecks Erina's forehead and then gives her lips a kiss "you know, looking at the photo now, kinda reminds me of how cute you were looking like this"
"shut up!" Erina exclaimed "I only did that stupid bet because of Alice!"
"really? Wasn't there another reason on why you did this?" Soma asked with a raised eyebrow
"m-maybe…." Erina muttered out as Soma chuckles before giving her another kiss
Several years back
Soma who had just went up to his second year in Totsuki, was walking down the hall as he was going to Erina's office
He hummed a song as he just keeps on walking before a black-haired female student went pass him
Soma's eyes squinted a bit before he turns to look at the girl who was walking away
"Erina? What are you doing?" Soma called out as the girl stopped in her tracks "decided a new look?"
"i-I'm not Nakiri Erina" the girl stuttered out in a high voice as Soma walks towards her
"no, you're Erina, alright" Soma said as he turns the girl around and look at her "my one and only Erina"
The girl blushed as she was Erina who had dyed her hair black and was wearing contact lenses
"h-how did you know?" Erina asked as Soma combed her side hair behind her ear "Megumi, Takumi, Hisako, and the others got fooled so easy"
"I know it's you because how can I not know my own girlfriend, hmm?" Soma answered before he pecks her forehead and gives her a kiss to the lips "by my guess, you accepted a bet with Alice but lost, didn't you?"
Erina nodded before the two heard a frustrated groan coming from a corner as they see Alice who was biting a napkin and pulling it while Ryo who was nearby, just stands in his place while holding a camera
"I could've sworn that it would fool him!" Alice groans frustratedly
Soma chuckled before he looks to Erina and kisses her lips passionately before the two intertwines hand, then started to walk away together
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
