"If my nii nii loses, I'll quit being a chef." Tsuki spoke up from Soma's bed, her dark purple orbs looking directly at Mimasaka's own eyes. "If you stalked both of us, then you know how much being a chef means to us. I promise that I'll never represent Yukihira Diner, and never again set foot in a kitchen."

"Wait Tsu-" Soma tried to speak up before being interrupted.

"Is that enough for you to put all the kitchen tools you stole from others?" Tsuki's gaze towards the taller man remained cold and serious. Soma let out a sigh, knowing he wouldn't be able to change his sister's mind. She had always been stubborn, especially when it came to her friends.

"Let me simplify this for you then. The second match's topic is a Western main dish, right? I'll make this." Soma informed, pointing to his beef stew. "Beef ste-"

"You idiot!" Nikumi barged into the room, covering the red haired's mouth. "Quit running your mouth!"

"Don't tell him what you're going to make!" Yoshino yelled.

"He'll be able to predict it anyways." Soma chuckled.

"And Tsukicchi! What do you think you're doing!" Yoshino yelled to the ice blue haired girl as she was lying down on Soma's bed with a neutral expression on her face. "You'll quit being a chef if you lose!? Are you taking a page from Yukihira's book?!"

"Yukihira Tsuki, you're okay with throwing cooking away this easily?!" Nikumi was yelling at the ice blue haired girl, before turning around and running away.

"Nikumicchi!" Yoshino called after the tan girl, but to no avail.

"Tsuki-chan... how can you say you'd quit being a chef? That's too reckless..." Megumi fussed over Tsuki.

"Wouldn't getting Takumi-kun's mezzaluna be good enou-" Ryoko started.

"It's not enough." Tsuki said, as she took her medicine. "You've robbed a hundred people of their kitchen tools. That's something I can never forgive and I will stake everything that being a chef means to me, for what I think is right."

Tsuki made a motion to Soma, as he went into the closet to fetch the knife case he had retrieved from his sister the day she was sent to the infirmary. "How about we add in mine and nii nii's  knives as well?" Tsuki had a mischievous smile as she looked at Subaru, her dark purple eyes seeming to glow.

"You're ok with that Yukihira?" Mimasaka looked to the red haired boy, as he shrugged.

"I was about to bet my whole career as a chef before Tsu beat me to it, and once Tsu has her mind set on something she doesn't give up on it. If she's going to put her future as a chef, I might as well do the same." Soma sighed, before giving Mimasaka a serious look. "The real question is do you agree to the terms?"

"Terms accepted." Mimasaka smirked. "Let's have a Shokugeki."

When Mimasaka had left, Soma walked over to his sister who was pouting and crossing her arms in anger before he lightly punched the girl in the head. "Idiot, now who's the reckless one?" Soma sighed, before kneeling down, his back facing the girl. "Cmon, I'll carry you back to your room. I laid out a spare pair of pajamas for you to change into so just rest for now alright?"

Tsuki slowly nodded as she climbed onto her brother's back to the room next door, as he set her down, where her phone was charged, and her pajamas laid out. "Thanks nii nii." Tsuki smiled as she headed over to her bed to find an oversized Yukihira tee shirt with black loose sweatpants set on her bed. "I'll be fine, I'll be resting for the next few days."

Soma had a worried look on his face as he watched his sister slide into bed, with the pajamas on. She had the boy turn around as she changed into the pair of pajamas until he heard the rustle of sheets, signaling that the girl was in bed. "I know." Soma smiled. "Hey Tsu...?"
