Chapter 981: Totsuki Dormitory Welcome Party, Tadokoro Megumi's Great Ambition!
"I'm not as cute as you say, Broly-san—"
A country girl from a small port city in Tohoku, Japan, Tadokoro Megumi carried the insecurity typical of someone of her background upon arriving in a big city.
Even after studying at Totsuki Academy's Middle School Division for three years, this had not changed.
"No, on this point, I wholeheartedly agree with Mr. Broly's opinion, Komekko—you really are a cute girl!"
"
However, Sakaki Ryouko was the first to refute her insecure denial, directly agreeing with Broly's statement that she was cute.
"I think so too, Broli's Brother is right, Komekko, you're just too insecure yourself.
Well, look in the mirror more often, look at your pretty baby-fat face, and look at your nice figure with big breasts and a perky butt.
It's just that you don't like to dress up, usually going out with a plain face; otherwise, you'd definitely have become the school idol of Totsuki Academy long ago."
Yoshino Yuuki's words were a bit exaggerated, but Tadokoro Megumi did belong to the type of plain girl who looked better the more you looked at her; if she dressed up a bit, she could definitely add points to her outward appearance.
"No, I have to interrupt on this point."
However, a discordant voice suddenly interjected from the side.
"What, Marui, do you have any other opinions on this evaluation that Tadokoro is a cute girl?"
Yoshino Yuuki glared over, her protective attitude very obvious; her best friend was originally an introverted and sensitive girl, and if she were truly denied, who knew how hurt she would feel inside, so she would not allow such a thing.
"No, I have no objection to Tadokoro being a cute girl, I just object to what you said earlier—that as long as she knows how to dress up, she could become the school idol of Totsuki Academy."
Marui Zenji pushed the glasses on his nose and reminded them in a rigidly rational attitude: "Don't forget, what kind of place is Totsuki Academy.
Here, cooking is supreme; although good looks can gain some shallow admirers, to become a school idol, one must have sufficient strength.
For example, Nakiri Erina, who is in the same year as us, entered the Totsuki Ten Council as a middle school student while still in the Middle School Division, becoming the last seat of the Ten—"
Hearing this, Yoshino Yuuki was about to say something, but Marui Zenji seemed to have predicted her words and cut off her rebuttal in advance.
"I know, you might say she joined the Ten because she's the granddaughter of the Totsuki Headmaster and the princess of the Nakiri Family, but is that really the truth?
She used food wars to defeat powerful cooking research clubs like the Da Rikishi Sumo Hot Pot Cooking Research Society, and many other capable cooking research clubs.
Is the granddaughter of the Food Demon King who established the Sixth Cooking Building, the God Tongue Nakiri Erina, really someone who relies only on connections and has no strength?"
"This—"
At this time, Yoshino Yuuki could not say that she was someone who relied only on connections; in a place as competitive as Totsuki Academy, someone without strength—let alone being the Headmaster's granddaughter—even if it were the Headmaster's own mother, they would probably be directly pulled down and replaced.
"So, only someone like Nakiri Erina deserves the title of school idol of Totsuki Academy.
As for Tadokoro, cute is cute, but I don't think her cooking skill can compare to Nakiri Erina, who is now one of the Ten."
Marui Zenji made a summary, but he soon noticed the girl whose mood had dropped because of this, and hurried to comfort her: ", Tadokoro, don't be discouraged, I'm just stating a fact!"
Tadokoro Megumi: "
Lies don't hurt people, the truth is a sharp knife.
"Is that Nakiri Erina really that powerful? But, brother, you don't know how to comfort others; if I were told my cooking wasn't as good as someone else's, I'd definitely be angry too."
Soma Yukihira said with a smile.
"Komekko, are you alright?"
Broly looked concernedly at the girl who was feeling down.
"It's fine, Mr. Marui is stating a fact; compared to a powerful Ten member like Nakiri Erina, I'm just an ordinary student, and I have no thought of comparing myself to her."
"Then why do you look like you're in a bad mood?"
"I don't know why—"
Tadokoro Megumi herself was a bit at a loss.
"Hey, isn't it simple? It's just the unwillingness felt when others think your cooking skill isn't as good as others."
o
Soma Yukihira hit the nail on the head.
"Is that so?"
Broly asked Tadokoro Megumi.
"I'm not very clear, but I think if one day my cooking could stand on a higher stage and be liked by more people, that would be great—"
The braided girl said with a hint of admiration.
"Komekko—"
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
Tadokoro Megumi looked at her friend Yoshino Yuuki with some confusion.
"Unexpectedly, you have such great ambition!"
"Ah?"
The braided girl, whose neck was suddenly hugged by her friend, was at a loss.
"Komekko, I've also been worried that your insecurity might get you eliminated and hurt in a place like Totsuki Academy, but now I'm relieved, because you've shown me the great ambition to want to become one of the Ten!"
Sakaki Ryouko also said from the side with a moved expression.
"Uh, when did I say I wanted to become one of the Ten? Besides, is that something I can think about?!"
Tadokoro Megumi looked completely dazed.
"In Totsuki Academy, if you want your cooking to stand on a higher stage, what stage is higher than the stage of the Ten?
None! So, Komekko, admit it, you have the ambition and aspiration to become a big shot like one of the Ten."
"Uh, Ryouko, actually the stage doesn't have to be that high—"
The girl's words of admitting defeat hadn't finished before she was directly interrupted by Sakaki Ryouko.
"Rest assured, Yoshino and I will both support you.
Now, let's toast to the future Shi Nature Da Ren, Miss Tadokoro, cheers!"
Sakaki Ryouko raised the cup filled with rice wine and loudly proposed.
"Cheers~"
Yoshino Yuuki let go of Tadokoro Megumi and decisively raised her cup along with the group.
"Hoho~"
Soma Yukihira cheered loudly from the side.
"Although the probability is somewhat small, people must have dreams, I'm willing to cheer for your dream!"
Marui Zenji also joined in.
Tadokoro Megumi was pushed up like this: "It's not me, I don't have it, don't talk nonsense."
"It's very obvious, they've had a bit too much to drink, don't mind it, you have a cup too."
Seeing this, Broly poured a cup of rice wine for Tadokoro Megumi.
"What are you all shouting about, it feels very lively?"
And at this time, Iwasaki Shun who went out to get smoked meat also returned carrying some sliced smoked meat.
"Iwasaki, listen to me, Tadokoro she————"
"What, wants to become Elite Ten?"
"I don't————"
"Cheer up, as a Polar Star Dormitory companion, I'll support you too!"
Well, raising cups to celebrate, the people cheering for the girl's dream increased by one more.
"What are you all talking about, it feels extremely lively?"
Afterwards, Isshiki Satoshi and Aoki Daigo and others also came up one after another, and the rumor was spread again.
"What, Tadokoro wants to overthrow the Headmaster and become Totsuki Academy's new Headmaster?"
"How is that possible, it's not————"
"Ah, Subarashii, what wonderful ambition and dream, so moving!"
Isshiki Satoshi was abnormally moved.
"Everyone, I declare here, this batch of Polar Star Dormitory will surely be a brilliant new generation surpassing the past golden age Polar Star Dormitory, let's cheer for the future Headmaster-sama~"
The atmosphere in Dormitory 205 rapidly rose, everyone's spirits were high, even Tadokoro Megumi, after the saying that she would become the future Totsuki Academy Headmaster came out, knew everyone was probably joking with her, likewise put down the burden in her heart.
"If I become Headmaster, you all are Elite Ten, I'll appoint everyone as Elite Ten!"
", I'm going to become Elite Ten?"
"Tadokoro-sama, you really dare say it!"
"But I'm already Elite Ten now, what to do?"
"Then I'll make Isshiki-senpai Vice Headmaster!"
At the height of drinking merriment, Tadokoro Megumi also let go of her usual reserve, speaking somewhat recklessly.
"Many thanks Headmaster-sama~"
Isshiki Satoshi directly knelt on one knee, fist-saluted toward Tadokoro Megumi and thanked her.
"Isshiki-kun, please rise~"
Broly watched from the side, knowing this group should be drunk, because his own master Aqua reacts like this when drunk too.
However, he didn't disturb them, just quietly took out his phone, and completely filmed the scene of the girl holding an empty wine bottle commanding the room full of drunk people.
Thinking, when Tadokoro Megumi sobers up, giving her the video should be very interesting: 【Komekko, you don't want this video exposed either, right?】
Some strange thoughts emerged in Broly's mind, and Tadokoro Megumi noticed him secretly filming a short video.
"Broly-kun, what are you doing?"
"I'm recording Headmaster-sama's heroic bearing."
"I see~"
Tadokoro Megumi nodded somewhat dazedly, her face flushed with drunk red, she approached somewhat unsteadily.
When she reached in front of Broly, she suddenly turned around.
Butt against the boy's chest, her whole person directly slid into his embrace.
"Broly, do you like me?"
Tadokoro Megumi tilted her head back resting on Broly's chest, turned her head to look at the Saiyan boy's face close at hand, directly asked.
"Hmm, like, so what?"
For this kind of direct question, Broly had not the slightest evasion, seriously answered Tadokoro Megumi's question.
To be honest, he had no intention of being perfunctory with Tadokoro Megumi.
For this girl he only met today, he indeed had some favorable impression.
Because Broly could feel the other party's goodwill toward him from this girl.
"Still the first time the opposite sex said they like me, thank you————"
Tadokoro Megumi with a silly smile on her face, head pressed against Broly's neck, breathing gradually became even, actually fell asleep directly.
"Good night~"
Broly used princess carry to carry her back to the third floor dormitory room, put her on the bed and covered her with the blanket, then said this to her while she slept.
Then, Broly went downstairs again, went to Dormitory 205, and brought the similarly drunk Soma Yukihira back to his room.
"You haven't slept yet? Hearing the movement upstairs, the welcome party should be over."
Daimido Fumio sat on the living room recliner, holding a photo album wondering what she was thinking, suddenly saw Broly coming down from upstairs, asked with some surprise.
"Hmm, it's over, they're all drunk."
"Then how come you're not drunk?"
"I didn't drink much, I just ate a lot of things. The smoked meat and smoked cheese were delicious, the vegetable tempura wasn't bad, and that fried shrimp had a very fresh taste, though the portions were a bit small."
Broly counted off the things he had eaten upstairs, his expression showing a bit of lingering regret.
"You can really eat; the dishes Isshiki Satoshi and the others brought up were quite generous in portion."
"However, since the welcome party is already over, why aren't you back in your own room sleeping? What are you doing down here?"
"Could it be that you're still not full?"
"Indeed, I'm still not full, but I didn't come down because of eating; I wanted to ask those who are already drunk which dormitory they live in."
"What, you still plan to send them back?"
"Is that not allowed?"
"Not that, if you have this leisure time—"
Fumio Daimido did not hide anything and told the boy everyone's dormitory numbers.
"By the way, sending boys back to their dorms is fine, but if you send girls back to their dorms, you must not do anything you shouldn't."
At the end, Fumio Daimido warned Broly.
"Don't worry, Auntie Fumio, I'm not interested in the other girls of Polar Star Dormitory."
"So you do have ill intentions toward Komekko?"
"I just want to pursue her, and I have already sent her back to her dorm safely; during that time, I didn't do anything I shouldn't."
"I can guarantee that even if I really wanted to, it would only be after getting Komekko's consent, not taking advantage of her while she's drunk."
"You're a decent kid. I'm going to sleep now. After you send them back to their dorms, you don't need to report to me."
"Also, if you're still not full, you can go check the kitchen later; there's still some rice and radish stewed crucian carp soup left, which is my late-night snack."
"Okay."
Fumio Daimido returned to her own room, and Broly went back upstairs, beginning to move the drunk people.
Among them, except for Aoki Daigo and Sato Shoji's rooms being relatively normal, the others were somewhat abnormal.
Iwasaki Shun's room emitted a faint smoky smell; hanging on the clothes rack were not clothes, but strips of smoked jerky, making Broly swallow his saliva involuntarily.
Sakaki Ryouko's room had a soy sauce aroma, and in the corner were several earthenware jars recording time, one of which smelled like the rice wine they drank tonight.
Yoshino Yuuki's room, upon entering, had animal cries sounding—rabbits, chickens, sika deer, roe deer, geese, ducks. Good grief, it was a small zoo. After placing the people on the bed, a goose guarded the girl's bedside like a loyal dog, watching him vigilantly.
As for the remaining Isshiki Satoshi, his room was normal, but the person was not. At the welcome party, he stripped himself down to only a loincloth, then put on an apron, an outfit close to a naked apron. Who knows what his fetish is.
Anyway, after placing the people down, Broly quickly left.
After sending them off, what remained was cleaning up the rooms of Dormitory 205.
Marui Zenji was put on the bed; Broly snapped his fingers and summoned several water elementals.
He had them clean up the trash and mess on the floor, and also mopped the floor along the way.
After doing these things, Broly went downstairs and found the late-night snack Fumio Daimido mentioned in the kitchen.
After eating, he summoned shadow ninjas to handle the rest, then went upstairs, returned to his dorm, and lay back on the bed.
Then, he took out his phone and sent Nakiri Erina and Hisako Arato a goodnight text message.
", did you successfully move into Polar Star Dormitory?"
Hisako Arato hadn't slept yet and was waiting for a possible help text from Broly, but unexpectedly received a goodnight message. She hurriedly sent a message to ask.
"Yes, I successfully moved in. What's wrong, Miss Hisako? Don't you look favorably on the taste of the improved pork bone ramen you helped me work on this afternoon?"
Broly asked back with some confusion.
"No, no, it's just that Lady Erina was worried you might not pass, that you might have no place to sleep tonight, so she asked me to pay a little attention to your situation."
"pay a little attention to your situation."
"I see. Thank you both for your concern."
Broly felt warm in his heart. Among the capture targets he met in this world, everyone who had any interaction with him was top-notch.
【How did you bring the ramen over without it getting mushy?】
Nakiri Erina, who suddenly received Broly's thank-you text, silently deleted this inquiry message.
Joke. Sending it like that wouldn't make her look ignorant.
"Since you've moved in, that's good. Remember not to expose your true cooking level, and also come for remedial lessons tomorrow!"
