Chapter 228: Chika Didn’t Drink Enough Milk
Chapter 228: The Spirit of Medicine? Chika Didn’t Drink Enough Milk!
It was soft and lovely, incredibly comfortable to knead. Ren diligently massaged Chika, not missing a single detail. He thought that having such a ’human heart’ must be very tiring. He felt quite sorry for his girlfriend and believed it was his duty to help her relax.
After a while, he raised his hand to Chika’s hazy eyes. "Are you still tired?"
"Ren-kun, your massage is so comfortable, my whole body feels relaxed," Chika said. She stretched luxuriously, feeling her shoulders no longer sore, her neck no longer aching, and her joints unblocked.
Looking at Ren’s finger, Chika, with a flushed face, took his hand. "Ren-kun, your hand is dirty, you know. Let me clean it for you."
Ren chuckled, smearing the glistening substance on her cheek. "No need. I have a place that needs cleaning more urgently." Then, he gently pressed her head down.
After school, Ren, Chika, Yukino, and Eriri, led by Chika, arrived at a ramen shop. Chika had wanted to treat Ren to ramen, and since Yukino and Eriri were also there, they all came along.
"Boss, four large bowls of tonkotsu ramen!" Chika cheerfully raised her hand.
"Alright, please wait a moment."
Chika proudly told the three, "The tonkotsu ramen here is super delicious!"
Ren asked with considerable doubt, "Chika, are you sure you can still eat? Have you forgotten how much milk you drank at the Student Council?"
"Eh!" When Ren mentioned it, Chika’s face flushed red, and her gaze darted between Yukino and Eriri. She had indeed drunk a lot of milk, but she wasn’t quite full yet.
"I... I’m not so full I can’t eat!" Chika shook her head in annoyance.
Ren raised an eyebrow. "Oh? So I didn’t satisfy Chika-chan? That won’t do. Next time, I’ll make sure you eat your fill."
"Ugh!" Chika recalled that intense flavor, and the bulging sensation filled her mouth again, causing her to shrink her head.
Yukino looked at the two suspiciously; she felt they were saying something improper.
"Tsk." Eriri rolled her eyes in displeasure. She had already seen through everything. She squinted, glancing at Chika’s chest, and mumbled to herself, "Why is it always this cow?" That vulgar capacity made Eriri green with envy. She glanced at Yukino beside her. "Phew..." Her heart instantly found balance.
Yukino felt someone was secretly slandering her from behind but didn’t know why.
"Customer, your tonkotsu ramen!" A soft voice came from a blue-haired girl with braided pigtails.
This call instantly revived Chika. "Hi! Megumi-chan, over here, over here."
"Chika-chan... Um, excuse me, who should this bowl of noodles go to first?" The girl, Megumi-chan, looked at Yukino and the others with weak eyes.
However, when her gaze met Ren’s, her body stiffened. Ren was staring intently at her face. Is there something on my face? The girl was flustered.
"This... give it to Ren-kun first!" Chika hesitated for a moment before choosing Ren. In her heart, he was definitely at the top now.
"A... Ren-kun is..." Megumi-chan was a bit flustered. She had no idea who Ren-kun was.
"Idiot Chika, who would know me if you say Ren-kun? Sorry, my idiot caused you trouble. My name is Ren, just give it to me." Ren reached out to take the ramen. His finger accidentally pressed against Megumi-chan’s finger. She only let go after feeling Ren had a firm grip to prevent the bowl from falling. Ren noticed this small detail; she was a careful and kind person.
Even after Megumi-chan turned to leave, Ren was still staring at her back.
"Ren-kun, I know Megumi-chan is very pretty, but it’s not good to stare at people like that!" Chika lectured Ren with the air of an adult pointing out the flaws of the world.
Ren withdrew his gaze, a black line forming on his forehead. "What are you talking about? I just thought she looked familiar."
"Familiar? Have you met Megumi-chan?" Chika blinked her curious big eyes.
"No." Ren shook his head. He hadn’t seen her here, but her face truly seemed familiar, so he asked, "What’s her name?"
Chika’s eyes were fixed on the tonkotsu ramen in front of Ren, and she answered distractedly, "Megumi-chan is Tadokoro Megumi, and she’s a student at Tōtsuki Academy."
"Tōtsuki Academy?" Eriri and Yukino spoke almost simultaneously.
This made Ren, caught in the middle, quite awkward. "You both know about it?"
Eriri puffed out her chest and lifted her chin. "Of course! Totsuki Culinary Academy is a prestigious culinary school. It’s simply called ’Totsuki Academy’."
Yukino also nodded. "That’s right. It’s an extremely reputable culinary academy. In the past, when our family had banquets, the chefs we invited were either Totsuki graduates or Totsuki’s Ten Greats."
"..."
Ren certainly knew about Tōtsuki Academy. It’s just that his knowledge was different from Eriri’s and Yukino’s. One was through his understanding of Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma, and the other was through their real-world knowledge of its existence. Two completely different concepts.
He, of course, also knew Tadokoro Megumi, a character from Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma.
However, it wasn’t the time to think about such things. Fujiwara Chika’s stomach was already growling as she stared at the tonkotsu ramen.
Ren twitched his lips and asked, "How about I give this bowl to you?"
Unexpectedly, Chika, who was craving so badly, wiped the corner of her mouth and decisively shook her head. "It’s for Ren-kun; I don’t want it."
Ren helplessly picked up his chopsticks, picked up some ramen, and motioned to Chika. "Do you want to eat some of mine to tide you over? I’ll feed you."
"!!!" Chika’s eyes lit up, and she cheered happily. "Yes!"
Standing up, Chika ate the ramen Ren fed her. Then she showed an expression of blissful satisfaction.
Ren felt a strange familiarity. The girl’s expression was almost identical to the one she had after drinking his milk. Was milk truly that good? Ren didn’t know and didn’t want to know. He only knew that "girl juice" was indeed quite good.
"Stare!" Eriri gazed at him with an expectant look. Ren instantly understood. "Eriri, do you want to try some?"
"Yes!" Eriri nodded quickly. What she cared about wasn’t the ramen itself but Ren feeding her personally. Ren happily obliged, feeding Eriri in the same intimate way.
After eating the ramen, Eriri’s eyes widened. "It’s delicious!" She couldn’t help but glance at the shop door. "Why didn’t I discover this shop before?"
Chika looked smug. "Hehe, I’ll tell you a secret: it only became this delicious after Megumi-chan came."
Eriri immediately understood. "It was improved by a Totsuki student? That’s really impressive. I must bring my mother to try it sometime."
Ren felt very strange. Her expression was almost identical to the one she had when she drank his milk. Was milk really that good? Ren didn’t know.
And he didn’t want to know.
He only knew that "girl juice" was indeed quite good.
"Stare!"
Eriri stared at him expectantly.
Ren instantly understood: "Eriri, do you want to try some?"
"Yes!" Eriri nodded quickly.
What she cared about wasn’t the ramen, but Ren feeding her personally!
Ren naturally satisfied her, feeding Eriri in the same way.
After eating the ramen, Eriri’s eyes widened: "It’s delicious!"
She couldn’t help but look at the shop door: "Why didn’t I discover this shop before?"
Chika looked smug: "Hehe, I’ll tell you a secret: it only became this delicious after Megumi-chan came."
Eriri understood: "Was it improved by a Totsuki student? That’s really impressive. I must bring my mother to try it sometime."
