Chapter 2110: The Moon Banquet Festival 1

The Moon Banquet Festival is the annual school festival held at Tootsuki Culinary Academy. During the festival, students can set up a food booth after receiving permission to do so. During the Moon Banquet Festival, students may choose to work individually or in a group.

The festival is considered a huge event that attracts more than 500,000 customers a day. Among these customers are numerous domestic and foreign V.I.P.’s. The customers are accommodated at Tootsuki’s on-campus lodging facilities and at Tōtsuki Resort; the rent for lodging alone is a great money maker for Tootsuki.

Students will need to sell around 1,000 dishes a day if they want to make it to the top of the sales. As a result, certain stand locations are highly coveted, and numerous Shokugekis are held to claim desired locations.

Still, for Erina, choosing the position for her stand wasn’t really that hard since, as one of the Elite Ten members, she had a lot of privilege, but more than that, she would become the main attraction of the Moon Banquet Festival since the Elite Ten Members were chosen from the best of the best so obviously, the guests who came to this festival would like to try her foods.

However, even if the Elite Ten Members had a lot of privileges, the school was fair, and as long as someone was fast enough, they could covet the good position, and when that happened, if some parties couldn’t accept it, they could initiate a Shokugeki.

Still, with the power of the Elite Ten Members, most students wouldn’t be stupid enough to fight them.

Right now, Haru was helping Erina set up her booth, which made him have to admit that the education of the Tootsuki Academy was really spartan.

After all, like most major Tootsuki events, the Moon Banquet Festival will whittle down the number of students by expelling those who fail. In this case, expulsion is the result should a student suffering a loss of income at the end of the event. However, as long as they do not perform anything incredibly reckless, such as setting up their stall alongside an incredibly skilled competitor, it is virtually impossible to set up a deficit.

Luckily, as early as their middle school years, students are advised and supervised by teachers to set up a booth and balance the cost of the stall and ingredients, as well as in predicting the number of customers so the chance someone will get expelled from this event is rather small.

“Thank you, Haru,” Erina said with a sweet smile as she brought him mineral water.

“No problem.” Haru drank the mineral water then asked, “Are you going to handle this place alone with Hisako?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll have a lot of helpers, but…” Erina didn’t finish her words and glanced at Haru.

“I’ll help, but not every —” Haru hadn’t finished his words, but Erina had already jumped on his lap and hugged him.

“Yay~~!”

Looking at Erina who showed such a happy expression, Haru had to admit that he might have pampered this girl too much, but it was normal since she lacked someone’s care during her childhood and she had been treated coldly by her parents which was why she sought that warmth from him.

As Haru and Erina flirted with each other, Hisako couldn’t handle it anymore and coughed loudly. “Cough! Cough! Erina-sama! Haruka-sama! We’re not done yet with the preparation!”

Erina’s face reddened and she quickly stood up as she said, “Haru, don’t skip work, alright? Since you have decided to work for me, you need to follow my standards.” Her words were particularly strict and her tone told him that she wouldn’t let him go if he made a mess.

“Yes, yes, but you know, it isn’t cheap to hire me.” Haru was the richest man on earth and even if Erina was his fiancee, this and that was a different matter.

Still, it was really a good time since he brought Aya to his world during this time so this way she could enjoy a lot of good things in this world. He would also bring everyone from the world of Strike the Blood to his world too to his world in the future, but he needed to do it slowly.

“By the way, Haru.”

As they prepared Erina’s booth, Erina approached Haru again.

“What’s wrong?” Haru asked.

“Can we try to go to the food world that you mention?” Erina asked with a flush of excitement.

Haru had told everyone about his ability to go to another world and after hearing it, of course, they also wanted to go to another world.

Erina had a God’s Tongue and from her training in her early childhood until now, she believed that she had tasted most of the ingredients in this world. However, when she learned from Haru that there was another world where she could taste various new and unique ingredients, she couldn’t help but feel curious about it.

When Haru explained to his women that he could go to another world, he also had expected that they wanted to go to another world so he wasn’t surprised by Erina’s reaction. Still, he was afraid that it was still dangerous to go to the world of Toriko. He knew that the world of Toriko was still in a disaster state after the Spice Meteor that hit the human part of Earth which caused the lack of ingredients and foods in that place so this wasn’t a suitable time to be Erina there.

Still, if Erina wanted to try good food, going into the world of Hunter x Hunter was also a good thing too.

However, Haru knew that there would be also a problem in that world too. Still, compared to the world of Toriko, the danger in the world of Hunter x Hunter was smaller so he didn’t mind bringing Erina there, considering the danger that might be encountered by Erina in the future.

God’s Tongue was a double-sided knife, it could help the user to cook delicious food, but also brought a disaster to the user too. By having super-ultra sensitive food, she wouldn’t be satisfied with normal food anymore and the older she was, the choosier she was with food.

Luckily, Erina met Haru early and knew some foods weren’t just delicious because the ingredients and feelings were also important. Also, if it was before, she might not be able to eat normal food, after that last escapade to Saitama in the past, she could eat them easily. Still, even so, her curiosity over food was still huge so when she tasted the Blue Blood Corn, Mellow Cola, and other ingredients that he had brought from the world of Toriko, she became curious about the world that was mentioned by Haru.

“Well, I don’t mind, but there’s something that you need to do first, right?” Haru said since he knew that Erina needed to take care of the event in front of her first.

Erina nodded and was about to continue to work, but…

“Haru, help me!” Alice opened the booth that was rented by Erina and leaped into Haru.

“……”

Looking at her cousin, Erina wanted to spank this girl’s butts. “ALICE!!!”

As Erina and Alice started to bicker to each other, Hisako sighed and thought that she might need to do this preparation by herself. Still, when such a thought crossed someone suddenly helped her.

“Let me help you, Hisako,” Haru said gently.

“Ah, um!” Hisako blushed instantly and nodded several times. She knew that this guy was a pervert and he was also the fiance of Erina and Alice, but sometimes, she just couldn’t help it, right?
