"Erinacchi!"
"Nacchan!" Erina turned around when she heard the familiar voices of Yoshino and Tsuki.
"We did it! Thanks to your Hokkaido Seminar, we passed!" Yoshino exclaimed, as she came in with Ikumi, Tsuki, Shoji and Daigo. "I managed to do it all on my own, thanks to you!"
"Don't cry!" Erina yelled as Yoshino was starting to cry from passing the test.
"Now, now Nacchan, let Yoshino-chan cry. She worked hard." Tsuki lightly chuckled as she handed the bunheaded girl some tissues. After seeing Tsukasa's text the night before, she was a bit more happier than usual, considering that there would be rest stops... maybe Tsukasa would be waiting for her at one of those.
"I see it now." Endo said. "If only you had not interfered Erina-sama, scum like this would've been easily eliminated. They only survived thanks to your mercy! If only you hadn't put ideas-" Endo was interrupted as the other proctors could feel something coming from the ice bluenette standing behind Erina.
"...Excuse me? Who are you to judge?" Tsuki asked as she had a calm look on her face, any emotion of happiness was void on her face. Everyone was looking to the ice bluenette as her hands were behind her back as she stood in front of the group, right in front of Erina.
"W-What's with that tone of yours you scum? Don't you know-" Endo started.
"Hm...? What tone...?" Tsuki mockingly asked, as she narrowed her eyes, her dark purple eyes showed that she was angry. These people had not only talked badly about Erina, but her friends and brother as well.
Everyone perked up as they realized the game Tsuki was pulling. Tsuki clapped her hands as her glare was exchanged with a smile. "Wow, you give us the low quality ingredients or none at all, and you call us scum for overcoming those problems... Wow, this really reminds me of Shinomiya-senpai's challenge that almost got nii nii and Megumi-chan expelled! But... something doesn't add up..." Tsuki tilted her head back and forth to mock the proctors.
"Aren't the real scum you proctors? Before we're students, we're chefs. If anything you should be praising us that we can adapt to the situation last minute. Imagine if this was a real scenario!" Tsuki's innocent smile continued to make the proctor scared. "And telling Nacchan it was her giving us ideas... you're also calling her scum, all she did was tell us how potatoes worked..."
"T-tsuki-c-chan!" Megumi called out to the ice bluenette. "D-don't make the p-proctors angry!"
"..." Tsuki was silent for a moment before looking at her hand, realizing that she was shaking slightly, despite her show of bravado. "...Alright, Megumi-chan." Tsuki let out a sigh as she turned back to stand by Erina's side, gripping her hands together to stop her shaking.
Endo fell on his knees, as he envisioned Nakiri Erina as the saintly Jeanne D'Arc, and Yukihira Tsuki as her sword, the Sword of St. Catherin. "I-I lost..."
"Yea!" everyone cheered as Erina and Tsuki looked at each other. The two girls gave each other a smile, as they tapped forearms together. Their bond from many years ago, seemed to finally reconnect.
When the snow was cleared, the group made their way into Sapporo, the major city rest stop before they had to board their next train.
"Sapporo! Major city!"
"I'm so glad they're letting us sightsee the city before the train leaves." Megumi smiled.
"Yeah. The train won't leave till the evening, so we have time to kill." Ikumi agreed.
"Hey, let's eat something good!" Yoshino yelled.
"Ramen! Sushi! Genghis Khan!" the boys yelled as Alice dragged Kurokiba to explore the town with her.
