"Let's go find them now." Having received the news from the two, Yuxian decided to go find them immediately.
Artoria hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master, go ahead. I'll wait for you to return here."
Yuxian looked at Artoria with surprise; this was unlike the King of Knights's personality.
He asked, puzzled, "Is something the matter?"
Artoria said softly, a little embarrassed, "The Tōtsuki Academy school festival is about to begin..."
"School festival?" Musashi's eyes lit up, and then he said to Yuxian, "Then I won't go either, it's pointless for me to go anyway."
She was quite self-aware; clearly, she and Artoria shared the same goal: to enjoy all the delicious food at the school festival.
Yuxian then remembered that the Tōtsuki Academy's school festival, also known as the Moon Banquet Festival, was about to begin.
It will be very lively at that time, with all kinds of food stalls set up on campus. It will definitely be a food festival.
Although the others remained silent, their faces clearly showed that they also hoped to participate in such a grand event and did not want to miss it.
Seeing this, Yu Xian pondered for Yuxian, "Then let's wait until the Moon Banquet Festival is over before going to find them. It's only a few days, and it would be better if we all went together."
Since Kurenai Enma and the others are running a shop, they won't be leaving anytime soon. They can go after the Moon Banquet Festival, so there's no rush.
Yuxian himself was also very excited about such a grand event. Since everyone was interested in participating, they decided to celebrate the Moon Banquet Festival together before setting off.
That's how it was settled.
Meanwhile, Erina also returned home.
As soon as she got home, she collapsed onto the sofa, not wanting to do anything, and just lay there unwilling to move.
This internship really exhausted her.
She was even more exhausted than Megumi Tadokoro. At Enma-tei, Erina not only had to learn cooking but also had to learn to do odd jobs.
She's done more odd jobs in the last few days than she's ever done in her entire life, so it's normal that she's tired.
Xiao Ai ran over as soon as she heard that Erina had returned.
"Erina, Xiao Ai is hungry."
Erina really didn't want to move. She said, "Didn't I ask the chef to prepare food for you on a regular schedule? Just make do for now. I'm really tired. I need to get some rest today."
Xiao Ai didn't say anything after hearing this, and just stood in front of Erina looking at her.
Her gaze was so intense that Erina couldn't bear it and could only sigh and get up.
"I really can't do anything with you. Wait a moment, I'll make it for you right away."
Xiao Ai immediately beamed and said happily, "I knew Erina was the best!"
"Dessert would be best!" Erina rolled her eyes at Xiao Ai, annoyed. "I just learned how to make some new desserts, so I'll make some for you to try."
As usual, Xiao Ai was half-lying on the table waiting, but this time she was even more impatient, constantly shaking her body.
It's not just because I haven't had Erina's desserts for a while, but also because Erina just said that she made a new dessert this time.
"Here it is! Try it and see if it's good."
Erina placed the plate full of desserts in front of Xiao Ai, waiting for her to taste them. This was a dish she had just learned to make, so she was also looking forward to Xiao Ai's evaluation.
"Glutinous rice balls?"
Xiao Ai blinked as she looked at the dessert in front of her. Was this the new dessert?
"You'll know once you try it."
Without Erina urging her, Xiao Ai had already put one in her mouth.
Black sesame seeds!
Xiao Ai's eyes lit up, and she immediately described the flavor, the rich sesame aroma intoxicating her.
"Try it again."
"Honey! It's so sweet, so full of sugar, so delicious!"
"This is... nuts, it tastes like chestnuts!"
Black bean paste!
"Cream!"
Xiao Ai was extremely happy. This plate of meatballs contained many different flavors, all of which she liked.
"Erina, you've gotten amazing!"
Hearing Xiao Ai's words, Erina was also very happy. This internship at Enma-tei was tough, but the gains were obviously great.
Her cooking skills have actually improved again in just a few days.
Chapter 19, Section 485: The Evil Holy Sword Death Victory Sword
The Moon Banquet Festival, a massive food festival held by the Tōtsuki Academy, is a veritable food carnival.
The event lasts for five days, attracting tourists from all over the world, with a total of over 500,000 visitors during the period.
Students of Totsuki Academy are free to open shops as long as they obtain permission. They can participate in groups or individually, and during the festival Tōtsuki Academy will become a land of gourmet food.
Customers use special meal tickets (pine, bamboo, plum) prepared by Totsuki to purchase food, which serve as proof of each store's sales. Every evening, the sales rankings for each area are tallied and published. If you lose money while running a store during the Moon Banquet Festival, you will be expelled from school.
Tōtsuki Academy is quite large, so it also provides a free shuttle bus for customers to travel to various areas.
Yuxian and his party had plenty of meal vouchers, enough for them to eat at all the restaurants and still have some left over.
"Go go go!!!" Miyamoto Musashi shouted early in the morning, excitedly getting ready to go.
This guy doesn't seem to be planning to eat breakfast; he's saving his room for a proper meal later.
"Let's go."
Yuxian Xian couldn't do anything about her, so he simply took everyone off. Anyway, it didn't matter where they ate.
Yuxian had assumed there wouldn't be many people early in the morning, but upon arriving at the school festival area, she realized she was wrong.
Even though it's early morning, the scene is already very lively, and it's hard to imagine what it will be like in the afternoon.
As expected of a food carnival, the aroma of various foods along the way had whetted everyone's appetites, and their stomachs, which hadn't had breakfast, were starting to rumble.
"Master, Master, let's find a place to eat quickly. This place looks delicious."
The children couldn't wait any longer and dragged Yuxian to the nearest shop.
Yuxian said with a smile, "We'll each eat a little less, and try to eat our way to the end of this street."
The worst thing you can do at a food festival is to eat your fill at just one restaurant. It would be a terrible situation if you saw something delicious later but didn't have room for it.
So the group began to sample the food at each restaurant one by one.
Sure enough, before they even reached the end of the street, everyone was already quite full.
Yuxian shook his head and couldn't help but sigh, "Five days isn't enough!"
This is just the beginning. At this rate, they definitely won't be able to enjoy all the food at the Moon Banquet Festival, which is a real shame.
However, there are exceptions.
Seeing that Yu Musashi Yuxian were no longer capable of fighting, Musashi winked at Artoria.
"King of Knights, let's ignore them and keep going!"
"Okay!" Artoria nodded without hesitation.
Musashi laughed loudly, "Then let's see who gives up first! This time I'm fully prepared, I'm determined to eat at every single restaurant!"
The two walked away side by side, chatting and laughing.
Yuxian smiled wryly, feeling helpless. He also wished he had a four-dimensional stomach. It was too torturous to have delicious food in front of him but not be able to enjoy it to his heart's content.
"Let's wander around to digest our food and gather some information so we can be more selective about what we try next time."
Yuxian led everyone to stroll around the academy, knowing they couldn't afford to eat without any choice anymore.
They don't have big appetites, so they can't try all the food. They can only choose to eat the better and more delicious things.
In the central area, in front of a huge Chinese-style store, Yuxian found Soma Yukihira and Megumi Tadokoro.
"Your stall is really shabby."
After comparing Soma Yukihira's food cart with the Kuga Restaurant across the street, Yuxian joked.
The two are vastly different in terms of scale, decoration, and foot traffic.
Soma Yukihira, on the other hand, was very optimistic and didn't see any problem at all, remaining full of confidence.
He beckoned to Yuxian, saying, "Come and try my pepper cakes."
Yuxian didn't refuse; after walking for a while, he still had the appetite for a pancake.
Since everyone's here, let's all buy one. This will help Soma Yukihira increase his sales and serve as encouragement.
"Hmm, not bad."
Yuxian nodded and said to Soma Yukihira, "Good luck."
Knowing that Soma Yukihira was comparing sales figures with Terunori Kuga across the street, he smiled and encouraged him.
Although he didn't think Soma Yukihira would win.
After saying Soma Yukihira and Megumi Tadokoro, the group continued their stroll and eating, eventually arriving at the mountaintop area where the other members of Polar Star Dormitory had opened their own shops.
Upon seeing Yuxian and his group arrive, Satoshi Isshiki immediately rushed into the store and dressed with lightning speed.
Anna gave a regretful look and pulled her hand back out of the cloak.
The view from the top of the mountain is beautiful, and the air is fresher and there are fewer people compared to other places.
Yuxian decided to sit here for a while and chat with everyone.
The people in Polar Star Dormitory were quite familiar with Yuxian, and their relationship was relatively harmonious.
Business here isn't busy, and they have enough staff to keep them busy enough to not disturb their business.
In fact, Satoshi Isshiki organized this store simply to enjoy the festive atmosphere, not to compete for anything.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, and had a great time.
After a while, Musashi and Artoria slowly walked over.
As soon as Musashi entered the shop, he slumped into a chair and sighed loudly, "I can't eat anymore! I can't eat anymore!"
Her fighting ability had dropped to zero, and she could no longer hold any more food in her stomach.
Artoria, on the other hand, seemed to still have energy left, and her expression appeared relatively calm.
Satoshi Isshiki brought over two cups of tea and handed them to Musashi and Artoria.
"Have some digestive tea."
He said with a smile, "It's not an easy task to try all the restaurants at the Moon Banquet Festival in five days."
Musashi took a small sip of tea and said firmly, "I won't give up. I'm going to eat them all!"
She still didn't give up.
Yuxian they enjoyed the Moon Banquet Festival, Xiao Ai was also strolling Tōtsuki Academy.
She certainly wouldn't miss such a large-scale food festival.
Xiao Ai's goal was very clear: she would buy any dessert she could find and eat it as she walked.
She had already learned about the entire Moon Banquet Festival from Erina, so her understanding was very specific and she wouldn't get lost at all.
And every day, Xiao Ai would always stop at Erina's shop for the last stop, eat Erina's desserts, and then go home with her.
