Do the people in Tokyo have nothing to do?
This thought appeared in Minami's mind but was quickly dismissed.
He felt he might have underestimated the value of having LV4 culinary skills.
LV4 in the system already represents the peak of professionalism. Additionally, the dishes he created could make people feel happiness.
Only with both of these factors combined does such a powerful effect occur.
Having realized this, Minami didn't linger on the m...

The principal of Shuka High.
Minami Shouji was more than familiar with this woman.
After all, since Minami Shouji had enrolled, she had always taken great care of him.
Not only did she personally approve his full tuition exemption at Shuka High, but she had also helped push through his scholarship application.
Of course, a big reason for this was because Minami was ranked first in the entire grade and had even taken first place nationwide in the last...

Leaving Shuka High and heading to the restaurant where Yamada Ryo had arranged to meet, Minami Shouji didn't actually spend much time on the journey.
After all, to make his commute (to school) more convenient, walking from Shuka High to the nearby station only took seven or eight minutes.
A quick ride for a stop or two, and he got off right at the restaurant Yamada Ryo had sent him the address for via LINE.
It appeared to be a newly opened, well-decorated restaurant—tastef...

Every monthly test at Shuka High was always an occasion to witness the full spectrum of human emotions.
The top students, confident and composed, received their test papers from the teachers with a graceful air.
The average students, anxious and hesitant, would take their papers with trembling hands, their expressions shifting between despair and relief as they saw their scores.
And for those who already expected to fail, picking up their papers was just a formality—remedi...

At the break of dawn, Chisato Nishikigi jerked awake from her dreams, staring at the empty room around her in utter disbelief.
Yes.
In the sudden memories that had surfaced in her mind,
How could she have died so early?!
Shouldn't she have outlived Takina Inoue, then outlived Minami, and only THEN passed away?!
