Chapter 371: Chapter 369: I Can Give You a Candy-Flavored Kiss
The next morning, Sui was in the bathroom, brushing his teeth.
After a few minutes, Erina walked in, still looking sleepy. She wore pink pajamas, her golden hair disheveled, as she yawned and rubbed her eyes.
Sui glanced at her and couldn't help but remember the events from the previous night. The sight of Erina's blushing face and her awkward, gentle movements came rushing back to him.
"Are you up?" Sui asked, smiling playfully.
At the sight of his teasing smile, Erina's cheeks immediately flushed with irritation. The memory of last night made her want to sink into the ground from embarrassment. She had never imagined doing something like that—let alone actually doing it!
What made her even more furious was the lie. Sui had said it would taste like strawberries, but it absolutely didn't! That was despicable!
Seeing her embarrassed and angry expression, Sui couldn't resist teasing her. "You really do live up to the title of God's Tongue."
"I hate you!" Erina gritted her teeth, a vein pulsing on her pale forehead. The peculiar taste from the night before still lingered in her mind, vivid on her sensitive taste buds.
In her entire life, she had never tasted something so strange. It took several glasses of water to wash the flavor away!
"You big liar! You said it would taste like strawberries!" she shouted in exasperation.
"Huh? It wasn't?" Sui asked, feigning innocence as he pretended.
"You're insufferable!" Erina couldn't take it anymore. She leaped at him like an angry kitten, sinking her teeth into his arm in a fit of frustration.
After their noisy morning routine, they both finished freshening up and headed to school separately.
Yesterday had been a strange experience for both Sui and Erina. He had always been curious about what it would be like to test the legendary Tongue of God, and now that he had, he couldn't help but think about it again.
Though Sui had never tried something like that with any other girl, he figured if he asked Tohru she would likely agree—given her excitable and uninhibited nature. And with her unique abilities, her tongue could be... well, adaptable.
But every time Sui remembered Tohrus true dragon form with those rows of sharp fangs, he shuddered. He wasn't brave enough to risk that. The mere thought of it was enough to give him chills.
In the afternoon, more information about the upcoming sports meet was released.
Students could participate individually or as a team, and in addition to regular events, there were special sports included. The top ten students were divided into three groups based on their year, similar to previous final exams.
Sui was placed on the same team as Erina, Megumi, and Sōma.
At the same time, Sui received a mission from the system:
New Mission:
Description: As a chef, physical fitness is essential! Lead your friends through a thrilling sports meet and prove your superior stamina!
Reward: Gourmet Gift Pack (may include kitchen tools, ingredients, or recipes)

The day of the sports meet finally arrived.
"Why do I have to join such a boring event?" Eizan grumbled, standing with his hands on his hips in his sports uniform.
"There's nothing we can do. The elite ten must participate this year. It's also supposed to improve camaraderie among us," Nene replied, her expression cold and displeased.
"But why do we have to do sports on such a chilly day?" Eishi Tsukasa shivered as he hugged himself, looking like he might faint in the autumn breeze.
Someone Saito was similarly unenthusiastic. He hadn't been eager to join in either.
But compared to them, Kuga, Rindō, and Isshiki seemed full of energy.
"Let's celebrate our youth!" Isshiki shouted in his shorts and vest, striking a dramatic pose.
"It's just a sports meet, but why are we grouped with the senpai students?" Megumi lamented, shivering in her own sports gear. She had only signed up for the event to participate casually and hadn't expected to end up with senpais in her group.
"I wonder if there will be a shot put event," Sōma mused aloud.
At this time, all the girls had changed into their sports uniforms, their toned legs exposed and exuding youthful energy. Only Erina, Momo and Rindō had yet to change.
"The event is about to start! We should get changed," Rindō called out, a playful grin on her face.
With a sigh, Erina reluctantly stood up and headed to the locker room.
"I don't want to! I hate sports meets! This peach isn't cute at all!" Momo cried, clutching her teddy bear as if it could save her from the situation.
"Come on, let's go," Rindō laughed, dragging Momo into the locker room.
When they returned, Rindō smirked at Sui. "How do I look? Pretty great, huh?" she asked with a mischievous wink.
At 6 feet tall and wearing a red sports outfit, Rindō's athletic frame, particularly her long, muscular legs, was quite impressive.
"Yeah, you look good," Sui admitted, nodding appreciatively.
Rindō laughed, clearly pleased. "Hey, by the way, that candy I gave you last time is all gone. When will you give me more? If I'm in a good mood, I might even give you a candy-flavored kiss in return," she teased, blowing him a kiss and chuckling.
Sui was speechless, knowing full well that Rindō was just after more of his ingredients.
At that moment, Erina emerged from the locker room, now dressed in her sports attire. The white outfit hugged her form, accentuating her figure, with her round, firm chest and long, shapely legs on full display.
