Prince Of Cooking

"Megumi!" Yuki shouted, holding the girl in her arm.

Hearing about the Totsuki training camp and how helling is will be, cause the girl to have a nervous breakdown and pass out.

As they continue talking about the camp, Fumio' voice enters the room through the speaking system of the dorm.

"Hey, Lovin. There someone here to see you"

"Who is it?"

"It's a tanned skin girl with blonde hair"

The moment she finishes her sentence, Lovin got up and rush out of the dining room, "What didn't you said so in the first place, I'm coming!"

"Hey, don't that sound a lot like Mito Ikumi?" Ryoko looks at her friend for confirmation.

When Lovin reaches the front door, he found Ikumi stand there with her head slightly down and rubbing her hand together.

He immediately went for a hug, causing the girl's face to take on a deep red in embarrassment,

"Are you here to accept my love for you?!"

"Ahhh!" she pushes him off in heat of the moment and regrets it little after, "I'm here about the club...since you win and all"

"Oh, right" Lovin grab her arm and lead her out the mansion, "Let go see Erina."

When she hears Erina's name, Ikumi tense up and stop moving, "What, why?!"

She was a bit scared of facing her after she lost the match with Lovin.

Seeing the fear in her eyes, Lovin reaches out and c.a.r.e.s.s her face, "It'll be alright, we know each other and has a good relationship so she probably wouldn't be mad at you for losing."

Ikumi's mood light up a bit, "Ok but why are we going to see her for?"

"So we can get fund to building our club. It'll be faster using the Nakiri's names and the training camp is coming up soon."

Going through a corridor, with Ikumi leading the way, they made it to Erina's office and Lovin gives it a knob.

After a moment the door was open and Hisako answer, "Yes?"

When she saw it was Lovin, she quickly got out of the office and close the door behind her.

"I'm here to see Erina"

"I'm not sure that's a good idea, she been in a bad mood lately...I think she mad at you, she called you a jerk and bastard when she thought no one looking."

"When did this started?"

"Hmmm," she put her hand on her chin in thought and then point at Ikumi, "I think it was when you were having Shokugeki with her."

After pondering for a minute, Lovin got an idea of what going on and tell the assistant girl,

"Can you tell Erina. I want to speak along with her and it's important?"

"Sure..." she not sure what it going but she going relate the message anyway.

After Hisako enter back into the room, Ikumi speaks up, "Do you think she mad because I lost?"

"Nah, she just jealous of you"

"What do yo-" she cut off when Hisako open the door and say, "You can go."

"Nice" Lovin enter the room while she steps out and closes the door.

Lovin walk up to her desk and smile at her, "I've missed you, Erina"

"Humph. I bet you said that to all the girls you met" Erina replied without taking her eyes off the paper, "What do you want?"

"I came to talk about building a club but first..." Lovin reach for her chin and lift it up so she'll face him.

"What do you think you doing!-" she was about to slap his hand away but stops when she sees his downcast expression.

"I am sorry if I made you sad. It true, I like Ikumi but you will always be my number one girl. I meant what I said, the first time we met (I love you.) What can I do to make you forgive me?"

Since it was just the two of them and him being so sincerely with his confession, her heart starts to throb and her face fl.u.s.ters, and whatever reason she was mad at him for, disappeared.

"Fine, you'll have to cook something for me and I'll forgive you."

When she saw how Ikumi react when eating his food, she was jealous of her, it was as If he cooks the dish especially for her.

"Of course, I'll make you one of my favorite dessert."

Lovin replied with a bright smile and giving a sigh of relief inside, '...glade that work.'

"Mito and Hisako, you two can come in!"

Erina called out, she might as well eat together with them since they here. It'll rude to make them wait while she alone, eats.

The door then oped and the two girls enter, "Are you done with your talk?" asked Hisako.

"Yes, you two take a seat" she gestures at the sofas with a table in the middle.

After sitting down, Ikumi look toward at her and asked with a little bit of edge in her voice,

"Erina-sama, where's Lovin?"

"He's making us something to eat," Erina says while came over to them and take a sit in the one chair beside them.

After a while, Lovin cam back, carrying the food and place on the table for each of them,

"There we go."

"Brown pudding?" Ikumi question. Indeed in front of them was custard pudding but instead of its normal yellow color body, this one was in pretty brownly color.

"Yeah, try it"

Taking a bit of the pudding, Erian tastes the sweetness of egg, vanilla and something of mild tanginess. When swallowing, it leaves a refreshing after taste.

"What ingredients did you used?" Hisako asked.

"He uses Thai tea, that why it's brown and it gives out a refreshing taste. He also uses buddha's hand for its mild citrus taste so it doesn't overpower the sweetness, I would miss it if not for the God Tongue," instead of Lovin, Erian was the one to answer.

She then turns to Lovin and says, "Isn't that reckless, putting whatever you want?"

"Yeah but you never know how good it will turn out if you don't try. Besides, you like it, don't you?"

"Yes, that's true" she smiles and continues with her dessert.

Riding together with Ikumi in her car and on his way back to his dorm, Lovin asks for her help.

"Can you call the construction? And you can keep the key"

The location for their club was close to where the Polar star is, besides he don't want to bother with the builder asking questions and all that stuff.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah and come to my dorm on the day of the camp so we can ride the bus together"

"Sure..." Ikumi blush, think about sitting together on the bus like some kind of lover.
