Chapter 109 - Ending Soon

After leaving Tsukasa restaurant, Alexander and Alice returned to their restaurant to help cleaning up.

After a couple of hours, the results for the main street and center were announced.

When Alexander heard the results, he smiled faintly

[In the 1st place of the center area comes Yukihira Soma's Chinese stall!!]

"That brat...he did it...somehow." Alexander sighed as he pulled the iron door down closing the restaurant after saying goodbye to their staff.

"Should we go and congratulate Yukihira-kun?" Said Alice.

"Hmph, congratulate him? that is what he should have been doing from the start!" Takumi was still frustrated at the guy who defeated him going in there. That made he look bad himself as he lost to him.

"Why not, let me call him." The gang started walking down the street while Alexander was speaking with Soma to meet him at their previous first meeting spot. After he was done with Soma, he called someone else and invited him to join them.

After an hour or so, All of the top first years met in the empty hall in the 3rd section of Totsuki's classrooms.

"What do you think, Aniki? amazing arent' I?!" Soma was smiling from ear to ear as he spooks to Alexander who was with Takumi and Ryo looking at Subaru's hairstyle. Subaru wasn't ashamed to show his high level of fashion like a model.

Alexander just frowned "Yeah yeah, in the end, you had to get this guy's help to win."

"What?! everything was my plan!" Soma wasn't happy about this and got angry, Tadokoro was trying to calm things down before a fight breaks out.

On the other hand, Alice wasn't happy about someone sitting beside her at all " just what the hell brought you here?" Alice said with a faint smile to her sweet cousin beside her.

"It is none of your business, Alice." Erina stole a glance at Alexander who was arguing with the boys on the other side of the room and smiled

Alice didn't ignore that and a vine popped on her forehead "You still have hopes for him, don't you?" he asked with a little bit of anger. Arato who was standing behind the two got nervous as this was the most touchy subject between the two cousins.

Erina smiled gently and nodded "Of course, and just like you, my time will come, and I will make the most out of it."

"Here! Soma..." Alexander pulled out a book from his bag and gave it to Soma

"What is it?" He asked.

"Alexander chuckled proudly "This is a book that tells the story of a chef's lover." Alexader got a lot of nice ideas on how to deal with multiple girls at the same time. That is why there are no troubles between him, Alice, and Rindo at the time being. Alexander was sure that Soma will need this book. He cast a glance at the blue-haired girl who was looking at the book with Soma and chuckled.

The group of the first years spent some time together talking but mainly arguing with each other until it was time for them to leave.

Everyone got up and headed for the door. The last two were Alexander and Erina.

Erina took the chance and pulled Alexander's clothes making him halt in his steps. "What?" he asked with a smile.

"C-can i ask you a favor?" she said with a tinge of redness on her cheeks, she tried as hard as she can not to look him in the eyes.

"Say it first." Alexander turned to face and leaned on the door.

"D-do you still remember what you promised me when we were young?" she asked nervously.

"Hm...?"Alexander thought for a moment before he smiled "Of course, I will eat a nine-course meal made by your own hands." He said

"Then can you come and visit my restaurant tomorrow? I kept a table free for you." Erina pulled herself together and decided to speak her mind.

"I can't come tomorrow..." Alexander shook his head making Erina's heart drop cold "But i can come the night after it." Alexander added lifting Erina in cloud nine.

"T-Then i will be waiting for you!!" She ran past him and dashed out following Arato who was already waiting for her with the car on.

Alexander sighed and smiled at the departing girl "I can't believe she still remembers something 7 years old like that!" He shook his head and ran to his group who was waiting for him at the gates so they can leave together.

The third day of the Festival ended with major changes in the game. The ranks in the uptown area didn't change but anyone who looked at the income of this day will realize that a huge increase in the North Star's revenue, with their current pace, being number one is not a far dream. Many anticipated that by the fourth day, The North Star's restaurant would be the number one booth in the uptown area.

And~ they were right. When the fourth day ended and the results were revealed, The North Star was the 1st booth in the uptown area and the festival as a whole. The gang from their joy served a few dishes to their customers for free to express their gratitude. And the customers couldn't be any happier about it.

And then, the last day of the moon banquet festival arrived. Everyone was giving it their all. Time passed by and everyone was happy that the festival was coming to a great end. Many things happened, from the first years defeating the 3rd years in their own turf to Rindo's 100% tour over the festival.

Alexander left the restaurant to go watch some of the shows near him. The festival will be over in 3 hours, he then remembered that he promised to visit Erina and eat her cooking.

He switched his path and started walking towards the blue building, and that's when some group of 3 people pumped into him.

"Hey watch where you going, buddy!" A playful voice echoed in Alexander's ear as he recognized it immediately.

Alexander looked at the 3 people in front of him with a tired gaze.

"Alexy!" Alfie cheered when he met his cute little nephew. Beside him were Keanu and Vlad. Vlad just shook his head while Keanu sighed, it was more than enough that he was dragged here, and now the boss saw him, what an embarrassment.

"What are you guys doing here?" asked Alexander as he pushed Alfie away from him.

Vlad pushed his glasses back and spoke: "We were dragged here by him..."He pointed at Alfie. Alexander already realized this much "We went around the festival and ate from some booths here and we were just heading towards that blue building, according to your uncle's whims." Vlad put Alfie as their shield for anything that the boss might say.

"Great, I was going there anyway." Alexander didn't say anything despite what Vlad thought. Alexander knows that these guys work hard, and by these guys, he meant Vlad and Keanu, not his uncle. So he figured that they deserve a break from time to time.

"Yaay~Alexy numba wan!!" Alfie followed behind Alexander, and after him was Vlad and Keanu, the four of them headed towards Erina's snowy hill restaurant.

The festival is ending soon, and with it, many things will end too.
