At noon the next day, Alice Nakiri and Tadokoro Megumi delivered bento again.
The two girls seemed to be subtly competing with each other. Not only were their bentos more exquisite than last time, but the portions also seemed to be a bit larger.
The break room at noon once again turned into a battleground.
"Come, Satou, open your mouth."
Alice Nakiri smiled as she held a piece of gunkan maki, offering it to him.
"Satou, this cake is very delicious. Although it can't compare to Miss Alice's, I still want you to try it."
Tadokoro Megumi said with a shy smile.
Although both girls had kind and gentle smiles on their faces, everyone could still feel the tense atmosphere and the subtle hostility between them.
Even the people sitting nearby felt like they were on pins and needles, not to mention Satou, who was in the center of the battleground.
Satou hadn't expected Tadokoro Megumi to have such a side. Perhaps it was because the opponent wasn't Erina Nakiri that she suddenly found the courage to compete.
However, Satou could still feel the determination and persistence in Tadokoro Megumi's heart. She must have gone through a lot of struggle to find this proactive courage.
Besides being touched, Satou was also a bit troubled.
Ultimately, Satou bit the bullet and accepted everything, eating all the bento made by Alice Nakiri and Tadokoro Megumi clean, because even eating a little less would offend one of the girls.
Only then did the two girls leave, satisfied, and stated that they would continue to deliver bento the next day.
This made Satou inwardly smile wryly.
"I say, Teacher, what's there to hesitate about? Both sisters are very good, of course, you can't let either one go."
Osomatsu mumbled softly from the side.
Satou didn't hold back and gave him a smack on the head.
Today, Satou processed more ingredients than yesterday. In the afternoon, he finally heard the system's prompt.
"Host has accumulated over one hundred large ingredients processed with the Seven Star Sword - Breaking Army, unlocking a hidden attribute.
Attribute description: Large ingredients processed with the Seven Star Sword - Breaking Army will have more delicious meat than before."
"Oh?"
Satou's eyes lit up. This attribute was very practical. If used to process fantasy ingredients, wouldn't the taste be even more outstanding?
The taste of fantasy ingredients was already better than ordinary ingredients. With the enhancement of the Seven Star Sword - Breaking Army, it undoubtedly went up another level.
However, this effect should be limited to large ingredients, such as Red-haired Pig, Frozen Wild Buffalo, and Beauty Tuna, and not applicable to other small ingredients.
But even so, this was an extremely powerful attribute.
On the third day, Satou continued to work here.
Although the Severing Army Knife had been successfully unlocked, there was still a Wu Qu Knife that had not been unlocked.
The Wu Qu Knife was a kitchen knife with a long, narrow, and somewhat curved blade.
The curved blade increased its contact area with ingredients, and this design prevented it from getting stuck in the meat easily like a general straight-bladed knife, making it very suitable for cutting large pieces of meat.
Although the conditions for using the Wu Qu Knife were not as strict as the Severing Army Knife, and it could be used normally, he still decided to unlock it here in one go. Otherwise, it would be too slow to accumulate one hundred ingredients in normal times.
Moreover, he was only one knife away from meeting the conditions to claim his gift package.
At noon, Tadokoro Megumi and Alice Nakiri again delivered lavish bento boxes. Satou bit the bullet and ate them all in one go.
In the afternoon, a figure completely wrapped up, stealthily arrived outside the slaughterhouse, but kept hesitating and not daring to enter.
"Haha, Satou, it seems someone else has come looking for you."
Uncle Takeda laughed heartily towards Satou and said.
Satou was a bit speechless and said, "They didn't say they came looking for me."
"Haha, if they weren't looking for you, why would those girls usually come to such a smelly, dirty place?"
Uncle Takeda couldn't help but laugh and said.
Just as Satou was about to say something, he heard the person outside, who was very heavily wrapped, hesitate for a moment and ask softly, "Um, excuse me, is Satou here?"
Huh? They really came to find him?
The people in the workshop exchanged knowing glances and smiles.
Satou was a bit speechless, but still walked out the door.
He saw that the person was wearing a tight black leather suit, revealing a slender and graceful figure. The collar was pulled high, covering half of her face, and she wore a baseball cap with the brim pulled very low, covering her eyes.
Seeing this person, Satou was instantly speechless for a moment and asked, "Erina, why are you here?"
"Eh? You... you can recognize me?"
The person was startled, lifted her head, revealing beautiful violet pupils and two strands of golden hair near her cheeks.
"I've seen your body so many times, how could I not recognize you?"
Satou mumbled softly, thinking, 'How could I not recognize your figure?'
Even with half her face covered by the collar, Satou could still see the blush on her face, and she stomped on his foot, both shy and annoyed.
"But speaking of which, Erina, why are you dressed like this to come here? It's very smelly and dirty here."
Satou asked.
"I came to visit you, like I said last time."
Erina Nakiri said softly, her face red.
"I meant why are you dressed like this, like a celebrity on an incognito visit? Anyone who didn't know would think you were a thief."
Satou couldn't help but mumble.
Erina Nakiri gave him an annoyed glare and said, "I was afraid of causing trouble for the people here."
Satou thought about it and agreed. If the people here knew that the Nakiri's eldest young lady had personally come, they would definitely be in a panic and wouldn't even dare to work.
This was different from Alice Nakiri; they might not recognize the second young lady, but they could recognize the famous God Tongue.
"Uncle, can she stay here for a while?"
Satou asked Uncle Takeda. After all, it wasn't good to let outsiders in during working hours.
"Haha, if the young lady doesn't mind, we won't either."
Uncle Takeda laughed, then leaned into Satou's ear and whispered, "This girl doesn't seem to be the two from noon, right? You need to work harder."
Satou was instantly speechless.
"Then, excuse me for the intrusion."
Erina Nakiri bowed to them, her face flushed.
