The grill had been prepared by the servants of the Shinomiya family. Although the food processing and even the grilling could be handed over to other parties, they just had to sit back and enjoy the results, but that wouldn't be fun at all.
So after swimming, Shinichi and the others started working in the kitchen, marinating meat and threading on skewers. Kaguya prepared two large refrigerators filled with ingredients, including meat, seafood, and vegetables, for them to use.
Among them, the most skilled are Shirogane Miyuki and Tachibana Rui.
"Salt and pepper."
"Which will come!"
"Iino, help me cut the onion over there into pieces, and give me the ground beef. I'll make hamburger steaks!"
"You need burger steaks for a BBQ?! No, I understand, I will come right away!"
"As for Shinomiya, well... You decide for yourself."
"Eh... Then, let me help you wipe your sweat?"
"The current nurse!? I'm not a surgeon!"
Their side was very lively, but the other side seemed a little calm because Rui was in the lead.
"Shinichi-Nii, where are the snails and French sauce?"
"This... Speaking of Rui, I can also help..."
"Onii-chan, go and live there."
"Oh."
"Senpai, you too..."
"Rui-san, help me stir this sauce."
"Oh, okay."
"Wow~ Rui-san's whole body changed the moment she entered the kitchen. She was very impressive."
"Of course. I'll prepare some more pasta, and some oily side dishes... Chika Senpai, Moeha-san, can you boil a pot of water for me?"
"Hmph, don't worry, leave it to us!"
"Okay~"
"Fujiwara Senpai, that's a bucket, not a pot..."
In this way, a group of people were busy in the kitchen until the sun gradually approached the horizon.
Girls hold disposable tableware and prepared ingredients, while boys hold drinks and small stools. Everyone chatted casually while heading towards the courtyard.
Two long tables and two large grills had been set up in the courtyard.
Everyone started to get busy, working together to set up benches, place ingredients, pass out plates, and pour drinks for everyone.
Orange juice, soda, boiled water, black tea, green tea, and even a bottle of non-alcoholic champagne. Kaguya once suggested asking the bartender to mix some like Shiroi Koibito, Pina Colada and all non-alcoholic.
However, she was rejected by Shirogane. Although there is no harm in experiencing it, it is not a fashionable party nowadays.
When everything was ready and only the skewers were placed on the shelf, Shirogane came out from the corner, stood in front of everyone with a drink, looked around, and cleared his throat.
"Ahem, although I'm not the owner here, I'm also not the one who provided the ingredients and the place…" He glanced at Kaguya. She smiled gently, watching him like a gentle wife.
Shirogane's face flushed slightly, and he immediately became serious: "But as the oldest person here, I'd better say a few words to everyone before the barbecue begins."
Chika, Shinichi, Ishigami, Iino, Kei, Moeha, and Rui looked at him. The atmosphere became silent.
Shirogane wasn't nervous. As the student council president of Shuchi'in Academy, he had to face almost a hundred times the number of people at every school meeting.
This level of attention could only be considered childish.
So he said word by word.
"Enjoy and play to your heart's content these two days—"
He squeezed the drink glass, raising his hand high.
"Cheers!!!!"
Just say a few words, except for the chatty old man who is the principal.
At the same time, they raised the drinks in their hands.
"Cheers!" xN

"Barbecue makes me happy, barbecue makes me grow~"
On the grill on one side, Shirogane was humming while skillfully flipping various meats and vegetables.
There were already lots of baked goods piled up on plates around him. While the others were eating, Shirogane brought back freshly grilled meat, so quickly.
Seeing how he enjoyed it but didn't even eat the barbecue skewers, it would be an exaggeration to call him a barbecue demon.
Ishigami sighed helplessly hearing that.
"President, what's the point of roasting it for us to eat? How about I just bake it?"
Shirogane smiled and said: "Yes, it would be better if we all eat together. But now I..."
While talking, he neatly poured each piece of meat with the right amount of seasoning. He placed the grilled food on the plate at a speed so fast that others couldn't see it, then placed the raw meat and ingredients on the plate.
Although he was usually clumsy, he was very experienced at the moment, like a barbecue restaurant owner who had studied this skill for many years.
"...I'm a little too busy."
"Are you going to set up a stall outside after graduation?" Ishigami complained.
Shirogane laughed and continued moving his hands.
"Thank You. It's just that I've done work like this before... Ah, if not, you can feed me. I'm in good shape and I really don't want to stop."
"!?"
Kaguya who was originally eating the roasted meat with a happy look on her face, suddenly stopped and a sharp light flashed in her eyes.
"I really can't do anything to you..." Ishigami walked towards Shirogane. He handed a grilled chicken skewer to Shirogane's mouth, "This..."
"Thank you..." Shirogane opened his mouth and took a bite of the satay, and nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, it's delicious."
"After all, the president makes grilling."
Ishigami and Shirogane looked at each other and smiled, and a tacit understanding occurred.
Ishigami suddenly trembled, he felt a sense of crisis.
Ishigami's whole body felt cold and his teeth were chattering. He turned his head stiffly and looked at the black-haired girl on a small bench not far away.
Kaguya smiled kindly, her eyes narrowed, and the bamboo stick in her hand broke into two pieces.
