CHAPTER 19: Natsume Bekki

After Damian sat down, the three girls looked at him, feeling Damian look awkward for a moment.

Damian also said warmly with a gentle smile after realizing, "If you're hungry, eat quickly. After all, you guys must be very tired."

"Hmm!"

The blonde simply took the chopsticks and started eating. After tasting it, she immediately perked up and said, "Wow! Damian-kun! This is so delicious!"

Damian smiled and said warmly, "If it's delicious, eat more."

"Hmm! Rindō! Momo! What are you two thinking? Eat!"

"Huh? Ah..." x2

The two also shook their heads and decided that they didn't want to do that much, so they ate in large mouthfuls. Damian's cooking skills really shocked them.

Damian was also holding a bowl and eating with chopsticks in a very silent manner, he suddenly frowned while eating the fried meat.

Rindō noticed this immediately.

Damian's food was certainly delicious, quite spicy and the vanilla flavor is also very strong.

The meat is tender and chewy.

The ingredients, temperature and degree of maturation are all impeccable, at least she can't cook at this level.

Rindō hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Kouhai... What's wrong with you? You won't be mad..."

"That's not true, you're right... This dish is simply qualified... Let's eat."

Rindō quickly said, "No, no! I've said that before! It's already very good!"

"No, the degree of cooking of this dish is not the same as the stickiness of the seasonings. It can only be considered passable... Kobayashi-senpai, you are amazing."

The three girls stared at the fried meat with herbs in front of them.

(So in your heart, this is just qualified?! Who's being tsundere here!?)

Rindō said flatly, "No... you..."

"It's nothing, it's just my purpose, let's eat, weren't you hungry?"

"Ah...but, Kouhai, what is your purpose?"

"Huh? If I can't be the best, then I better not compare."

Rindō and Momo were stunned for a moment, but the beautiful blonde looked like a little girl and said with a smile, "Wow! Damian-kun! You're so strict with yourself!"

"Because I know that anything good has to depend on my own hands. Either I gain nothing, or if I gain, others will never be able to take it away."

Rindō and Momo looked at Damian a little strangely. This young man who looked very warm, what had he experienced to have such a fierce sense of competition?

Laughing coughed lightly, then picked up a few cans of Coca-Cola and said with a smile, "Cough! That... Although there are some twists and turns, a new member has arrived at the Moonshine dormitory."

"He's handsome and trustworthy, so he's worth celebrating! Since we don't have alcohol, we'll settle for Coca-Cola! Kouhai, welcome to the Moonshine dormitory!"

Momo also opened the glue and said softly, "Kouhai, welcome to the Moonshine dormitory..."

Damian was stunned for a moment, then opened the Coca-Cola and said warmly, "Thank you, Kobayashi-senpai, Akanegakubo-senpai..."

Rindō puffed up his face and said, "Kouhai! Tell me! Are you still mad?"

"Huh? No? Why ask that?"

After taking a sip of Coca-Cola, Rindō said angrily, "Since we're going to live in the same dorm! We're going to be a family, why are you calling me Kobayashi-senpai?!"

"Um?"

Momo also nodded, Rindō looked at Damian and said: "If anyone sees you calling us that they will think we are ordinary classmates! Change the name!"

"Eh?"

"Um...what would be the best way to change that?"

Damian thought for a moment and said to Rindō, "The cruel divine beast from the Moonlight dormitory?"

"Pfft..." x2

Momo and Becky immediately burst into laughter, Rindō also laughed after being stunned for two seconds, and after laughing for a while, he patted the table and said, "What a cruel beast! Pfft...cough, cough!" Change it!"

Damian said warmly, "So... Rindō-senpai?"

"That's it! As for me, I will soon be an Elite Ten. When I become an Elite Ten I will take good care of you!"

Damian smiled and said, "Sounds good, but Rindō-senpai, aren't you an Elite Ten?"

"Just another week or two, Momo and I are in this class, there are a lot of great students there, and the last class also graduated, so it'll be a while until the next class."

"The Elite Ten rankings were sent out, but in fact, after the fall selection of the first year of high school, it was basically decided who would be part of the Elite Ten."

Damian nodded, while Momo said silently, "Kouhai... You should also change what you call me..."

Damian plastered a smile on his face before saying, "The Moonshine dorm mascot! How are you?"

"Pfff..."

Hearing this Momo laughed. Damian thought for a while and said, "Just... Momo-senpai?"

"Well! That's it!"

Rindō said with a smile, "Alright, alright! Welcome to the Moonshine Dormitory! Cheers!"

"Health!" x3

"Hooah! It's cool! Kouhai! Your cooking skills are really good! It's more than enough to grab a position in the Elite Ten now!"

Damian thought for a while and said, "I believe that after the autumn selection, I should be able to become an Elite Ten prep. There's no need to worry about that now. I don't want to deal with the documents so soon."

Rindō nodded and said, "Yes! You are really confident, but you also have the skills to back it up, but..."

"Um?"

Rindō said directly, pitifully, "Kouhai! Don't try to take my seat! It was very difficult for me to achieve this! If you try to steal my seat, I will bite you!"

"Uh... okay..."

"Kouhai... don't take mine too..."

"Understood...."

The beautiful blonde was shocked for a moment and said, "Eh? What should I do?"

"Cut!" x2

Rindō said angrily, "Becky-nee, think about what you will do with your lesson plan tomorrow."

"Class... Class... eh?! What should I do!"

Damian suddenly thought of something and said in doubt, "Becky-nee?"

Rindō froze for a moment and said, "Eh? Becky-nee, didn't you introduce yourself?"

"Oh! That's right! That... Damian-kun! My name is Natsumi Bekki! Please take care of me!"

Upon hearing this name, the corners of Damian's eyes jumped, as if this name had some incredible meaning...
