Alice Nakiri peeked out furtively, looked left and right, and then said to Satou, "No one saw us, let's go."
Seeing her like this, Satou was quite speechless.
By the time they reached downstairs, everyone had already arrived.
However, Eishi Tsukasa and the others looked a bit listless.
Although they understood that the theme of this exam was from the perspective of a manager, not a chef, they had no relevant experience and didn't know how to highlight the unique features of their inn.
Unlike their previous competitive state, everyone now felt a sense of shared hardship.
"Let's go," Satou said.
Everyone nodded and then walked together towards the hot spring inn street.
Yesterday, the most popular inn was undoubtedly Kawashima Rei's, which attracted many guests with its girl singing performances.
So on the second day, many students also followed suit, showcasing their talents, such as magic shows, dance performances, and the like.
Even members of the Sumo Hot Pot Research Society launched sumo performances.
"The most authentic sumo performance, you can enjoy it every day if you stay at our inn!"

Several fat members of the Sumo Hot Pot Research Society were energetically promoting themselves on the street.
However, after glancing at these lumps of fat, nearby tourists expressed no interest. Who would be so full that they wouldn't watch pretty girls sing, but instead watch these lumps of fat perform sumo?
Before long, those few members were frozen into lumps of fat by the biting cold wind.
"How pitiful," Megumi Tadokoro said with some pity, looking at the few lumps of red, frozen fat.
"Oh? Isn't that Megumi?" At this moment, two surprised voices rang out.
Ryoko Sakaki and Yuki Yoshino were looking at Satou and the others in surprise.
They had also drawn the snow section.
"Eh? Ryoko, Yu, you guys…" Megumi Tadokoro looked at the kimonos they were wearing, a little surprised.
"Mm, we're also going to have a singing performance," Ryoko Sakaki winked at her, smiling playfully, and said.
"Really?" Megumi Tadokoro exclaimed, "But you two look really beautiful in kimonos."
At this moment, Yuki Yoshino and Ryoko Sakaki were both wearing beautiful kimonos; Ryoko Sakaki had a bright red kimono, and Yuki Yoshino had an orange-yellow one, which indeed looked very good.
"Is that so?" Ryoko Sakaki's face showed a hint of shyness.
"By the way, how are things on your side?" Yuki Yoshino asked.
"Everyone's really struggling, and Miss Erina still won't sing," Yukihira Soma said in annoyance.
"Eh? Miss Erina can sing? I never would have thought!" Yuki Yoshino and Ryoko Sakaki exclaimed in unison, clearly unable to associate singing with the noble and aloof Ice Queen of Far Moon.
"No, that's not it! I can't sing at all!" Erina Nakiri's face immediately flushed, and she stammered.
"Actually, we could have Senior Isshiki perform a naked apron show," Yuki Yoshino suggested a bad idea.
"But it's so cold, it wouldn't be suitable, would it?" Megumi Tadokoro chuckled awkwardly, recalling the lumps of frozen meat she had seen earlier. Senior Isshiki would definitely be frozen into a skeleton.
"And we'd definitely be reported for indecent activity," Ryoko Sakaki also nodded.
"Forget it, we're going to sing. Megumi, Satou, you two should also work hard."
Ryoko smiled slightly at the two, then started singing with Yuuki.
Unexpectedly, Ryoko and Yuuki's singing was exceptionally beautiful.
Ryoko's voice was gentle, while Yuuki's was full of liveliness.
Watching these two sweet-faced, melodious kimono-clad girls sing was indeed a very pleasant experience, and soon many tourists gathered around.
Satou and the others also stopped to enjoy for a while before returning to the inn.
"Alright, let's first discuss everyone's duties. I'll temporarily act as the proprietress, I don't think you have any objections, right?"
Erina said.
"Um."
Yukihira Soma raised his hand.
"Yukihira-kun, do you have a question?"
Erina asked.
"Erina-san, can you sing?"
Yukihira Soma asked, "I heard you sing very well, everyone would definitely love to hear it."
Erina's face immediately flushed, and she said against her true feelings: "Who told you that? I don't sing at all. And I've never sung before."
"But Satou said, don't you often hum tunes when you're taking a bath?"
Yukihira Soma asked.
"That's just humming tunes, completely different from singing!"
Erina's cheeks were flushed with embarrassment, and she asked testily.
"Then singing should also sound good, right?"
Everyone looked expectant, clearly wanting to hear Erina sing.
Erina, with a red face, said: "Then, Satou and Hayama-kun will be in charge of cooking, Megumi you…"
"Erina-san, are you changing the subject?"
Ryo asked bluntly.
"No, I'm not!"
Erina's face turned even redder, then she lowered her head and whispered: "I won't sing, it's too embarrassing."
Seeing her like this, everyone didn't press her.
Next, there were no guests at the inn, so everyone simply soaked in the hot springs and played poker to pass the time.
Megumi cleanly defeated Ryo.
"So amazing, Megumi! I didn't realize you had such a talent for billiards."
Alice exclaimed in surprise.
After soaking in the hot springs, everyone put on yukatas and started playing billiards.
"Damn it."
Ryo, who was easily defeated by such a delicate girl, was very annoyed and grumbled, "Megumi!"
"Hehe, it's alright."
Megumi's small face flushed, and she smiled shyly.
"Well. I heard that Megumi was known as the 'Leaping Rabbit of the Northeast' in her hometown. It's a shame she didn't pursue it further, otherwise she would definitely have become a star in Japanese billiards."
Yukihira Soma nodded and said.
"Not at all, I still prefer cooking."
Megumi shyly lowered her head, feeling very embarrassed.
"By the way, Megumi, why don't we make this our unique selling point?"
Satou's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said.
"Eh?"
Megumi immediately looked bewildered.
