I think at this point , it was a good time for this questions :
What are Souma for Erina now ?? Is he a person that Erina finally trust and respect ?? , Is Erina finally starting to slowly (even just a tiny bit of feeling) fall in love with him ??
For me i think she finally accept and respect him as a comrade against Azami tyranny. She finally acknowledge his dish and cooking skills as a pro chef maybe a rival or as a spark of hope in her heart. She finally open her heart for Souma.
Regardless this chapter is 100% boost for their relationship. For me this is the turning point, and finally this is where their relationship start to advance into the next step.
Damn i'm really thirst and hunger for more SoNa (Souma X Erina) moment.
And as for the plot itself, So Erina gonna rally her own army with Polar Star Dorm member against her own father, and i'm sure the Aldini brother, Ikumi, White haired girl (Erina cousin/sister) and her crazy servants, and that Curry/Spice master will join the army as well, and the one who will spearheaded this offensive is Souma, basically next generations Elite 10 against current Elite 8, but since Erina is the tenth member of the curent Elite 10 and minus Ishiki (it will be extra boost if Ishiki join the rebel force).. Wow this is sounds cool , i never get excited like this for a long time. Even if sounds like generic/typical rival join force against bigger threat or common enemy, but this is a cooking manga and that's what makes me even more curious and excited how the author gonna make this good ... really looking forward for next chapter.
Edit : I suddenly have a feeling Erina gonna make a campaign and find supporter to take down Azami from seat of power, and Erina gonna be the new Director ... The scene in the past where Jouichirou used to come to Erina house and cook for Erina grandfather ... I have a strong feeling that gonna be parallel and in the future Souma gonna cook everyday for Erina as a married couple.
