Shiro POV
"No."
"Why not?"
"We don't have time," Shinomyia-senpai stated.
"Why not?"
"Because we don't have time for your stupid shokugeki that you can do in your free time," Shinomiya-senpai replied with a tick on his forehead.
"Why?"
"Why you-"
"Shiro, stop this. He has some judging to do. But at least your brother can participate in this menu contest." Dojima-senpai quickly cuts in and put his hand on my shoulder.
"But I don't understand why though!? What a minute... is he...perhaps..sexist?!" I exclaimed while covering my mouth. I high-fived Inui-senpai as we all laughed.
I can Shinomiya-senpai getting redder. "You midget think I'm sexist?!"
"Well, no duh." I point out as I smirked in victory until he stood up and dragged me by the arm outside.
"Ouch! That hurts! I get it! I'm sorry! I was just joking." I sweat dropped, I couldn't believe he takes things too seriously.
He sighed as he brought his face to me, surprising me a bit.
"Humph, don't do that again."
"Woah, move back a bit, strangers might think we're a thing," I stated as I moved back move.
"And what if we are?" He said with a smirk.
........
"Nope, nope, nope. That confirms it, you're crazy." I said as I pushed him back.
"And you think I take jokes easily."
"Did you read my mind?" He looked at me for a minute before walking away.
"Hey!"
"You can move your legs by yourself, you idiot."
"Geez, you are a dumb coral head."
"What you say?"
"Nothing."
{Timeskip to the end of the Stagiaire}
"So I guess you had a good time during your stagiaire," I stated as we walked back to the dorm for the first time in a long time.
"Yep, Master Shinomiya taught me many French techniques, I might even know more than you!" Soma replied as he grinned.
"Mhmm."
"So where did you go?"
"Asia, Africa, and more places."
"Why did you suddenly disappear?"
Both of us stopped in our tracks. I sighed.
"Dad called." I simply said, not wanting to say anymore.
"But you could've at least told me."
"I didn't want you to feel bad."
"I'm your brother. I will let you go if you told me."
We stared at each other for a while.
"Let's go back to the dorm okay? I promise to tell you next time when Dad calls."
"Promise?"
"Yea, promise."
Just like that, I reassured his heart and trust with a few of my lies.
Soma POV
We arrive at the dorm and was greeted by Fumio-san.
"Shiro! Yukihira! You guys are the first to be back." She welcomed.
"I'm back." My sister smiled.
"Well, I guess you guys better get to work," Fumio-san stated while putting two boxes on the table.
"What are those?" I asked. Fumio-san looked at the boxes before opening them, showing lots of letters with the word "Challenge" on them.
"These are Shokugeki challenges for the two of you."
"Wow. I guess we have been gone long enough." My sister commented while opening one of her letters.
Suddenly the burst open with a tall student coming in.
"Excuse me! Is Yukihira home?"
"Here comes another one," Fumio-san stated.
"Yukihira! Have a shokugeki with me!" He explained how things are going to change as the first years pass stagiaire.
"Ano, you're a second-year right?" Shiro asked.
"Yes. Why?"
"Nothing, just asking." She then turned to me. "You accepting all of them?"
"Yea. I'm accepting all of them." I hear my sister clapped her hands. "Then I guess I will too."
"Then let's do it now, senpai."

Third POV
"Shiroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Alice and Erina hugged the redhead tightly, with Alice having tears on her face.
"Guys...It's ok, I'm here." Shiro said while patting Alice's head.
" Why did you disappear like that?" Erina asked.
"You know my Dad." Shiro let out a sigh of relief as they finally let go.
"How dare he take you away! I couldn't eat your food for a while!" Alice pouted.
Shiro chuckled at her cuteness. "I tell you guys next time okay?"
As an apology, Shiro cooked the Nakiri's some food and chat with them for a while, until a certain someone came back.
"Ojou, I got the things you wanted." Ryo came through the door with some bags in his hands. Eyebags? Check. Bandana? Check. Black Fashion? Check. Same old Ryo.
When he saw the redhead waving at him, he froze. Until Alice pushed him into the room and let him sit down beside the petite female, with a big smile on her face.
"Ah! I just remembered Erina and I have some errands to do. See you guys later!" She said with the biggest smile on her face before she dragged Erina out of the room. Click.
"Ryo. Long time no sees." Shiro started as she tried to break the awkward silence.
"............Yea." Ryo looked away as he fidgetted with his bandana.
"Are you angry at me?" Shiro asked while putting a hand on his shoulder.
".......No" He replied while scouting away and letting my hand slide down from his shoulder.
"I'm sorry okay? I had to leave for some family reasons. I...just didn't want you all to feel bad that I left. Now that I think about it, I should have told you guys." Shiro apologized while regretting her decision. She never thought her departure be so devastating to her friends.
