Food Wars: Taste Buds Reversal

018. Shopping Street [Fourth update]

Early the next morning, Shiraki left Polaris Dormitory, borrowed a bicycle from Mrs. Wenxu, and started heading out of the school.

Although he had not seen the hamburger shop given by the system, he had a mysterious confidence.

Riding the bicycle and feeling the breeze, Shiraki could not help but reveal a happy smile.

About three hours later, Shiraki had seen the gate of Totsuki Academy. After parking his bicycle at the gate, he took out the hamburger shop map given by the system from his pocket and started to look at it.

"It's quite far……"Looking at the route marked on the map, Bai Mu's forehead dripped with cold sweat. At this speed, he didn't know if he could reach the commercial street tonight.

At this time, a long black luxury car just drove from the campus to the school gate.

Sitting in the car, Erina Nakiri looked out the window silently, and suddenly a familiar figure flashed before her eyes.

"Stop the car."

The driver in front of him shuddered and stopped the car in front of the school gate. Erina opened the car door and walked slowly behind the figure with a cold face, her chest straight, and she prepared for 5 seconds before speaking,"What are you doing in a place like this?"

Shiraki, who was looking at the map, heard the voice and saw that Erina had stood behind him without knowing when. He was about to answer, but he caught a glimpse of the luxury car behind Erina, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Oh, you're just in time, Erina. I need your help with something."

"What, what help?"

Facing Shiraki who suddenly approached her, Erina blushed and took a few steps back in embarrassment, but she did not refuse immediately.

"I want to go to this place, I wonder if you can give me a ride?" Shiraki showed the map in his hand, Erina glanced at the destination on the map, with a puzzled look in her eyes.

"Shopping street...what are you doing there?"

"I just happened to open a store there."

"Open, open a store?!"

Erina looked at Shiraki in surprise, and subconsciously imagined that the store Shiraki was talking about was a chain hotel or a specialty restaurant on the commercial street. Even in Totsuki Academy, it was hard to find a student who could own a store at this age. This man was indeed...……

"Yes, it's just a hamburger shop. I heard it's going to close down soon, so they asked me to take over."

Shiraki's next words immediately broke all of Erina's fantasies. She coughed lightly, turned around and walked back to the car.

"Come on, my time is very tight."

"Thanks, Erina."

Seeing that the other party agreed to give him a ride, Shiraki was temporarily relieved.

As long as he made money at the hamburger shop today, he could get rid of the embarrassing situation of not having a penny.

In the evening, he could bring Erina a few hamburgers as a thank you...

provided that the hamburgers he made were tasty.

In the back seat of the luxury car, two people sat on the soft leather cushions on the left and right.

Shiraki pinched his chin and thought about how to make the hamburger later.

Erina was tense all over, and she glanced at the side from time to time.

She was not good at talking to others, and she looked very uncomfortable at this time, especially this person made her feel a different feeling.

At this time, Erina looked like she wanted to speak but didn't dare to speak.

——I should say something at this time.

Erina recalled what Hisako had told her about the things to pay attention to when communicating with people, but every time she was about to speak, her mind would flood with all kinds of images about Shiraki that she had imagined in her mind. She even dreamed about this person last night. This was the first time that Erina had dreamed about these things since she was a child. Just thinking about it made her face start to steam again.

——Calm down! The other party is just a commoner!

——Yes, calm down, what should I say at this time?

Erina, who was originally invited to a restaurant in Totsuki Resort to try new dishes, completely forgot about the tasting and was seriously thinking about how to start her first sentence.

However, because she took too long to think, by the time she had finally prepared herself mentally, they had already arrived at the shopping street.

Looking at Shiraki who had already opened the car door and was about to get out, Erina's conflicting nerves kept struggling, and then she finally shouted,"Wait!"

"Is there anything else?" Shiraki looked at Erina, who was blushing and panting for some reason, wondering how she became like this.

"You, the store you mentioned... Since you are a student of Totsuki Academy, if you need any help, just ask. And... and... I will come over in the evening, but if there is no customer at your store by then, it will be a disgrace to Totsuki!"

Hearing this, Shiraki's face showed a surprised expression at first, and then he reacted and smiled at Erina,"Of course, I will be waiting for you at any time."

Although he didn't know why Erina, who had such a bad attitude towards Soma Yukihira in the original book, would want to help him, but thinking it was because of his weird cooking, Shiraki didn't mind building a good relationship with Erina, but... why did she blush when she saw him? It can't be because she likes him, right?

I'm asking for support, collection, flowers, review votes, monthly votes, and all kinds of requests for my new book~

PS: Erina's dream: two people were running hand in hand in the flower garden.

Because of the physical contact, Erina considered it a very shameless dream.
