It was Sunday morning.

"Kirisu Sensei, I'm leaving my cousin in your care," Renz said to Mafuyu Kirisu in a pleading tone.

Behind Renz, Mashiro Shiina waved at Fuyumi Kirisu. Having promised Renz a few days ago to temporarily look after his cousin, Mafuyu Kirisu had made all the preparations before Mashiro's arrival. She had arranged for housekeeping services to clean the apartment building in advance. Not only that, but Mafuyu Kirisu had also decided what they would have for lunch: udon from Rizu Ogata's family shop. The noodles tasted quite good, and Mafuyu Kirisu had already thought of a reason for ordering udon. It wasn't that she couldn't cook, but that she didn't have time; she had to grade student papers, and work was too tiring, so she ordered udon. If she had time and wasn't busy with work, Mafuyu Kirisu could cook, though she couldn't guarantee it would be edible. So, to be safe, ordering takeout was better.

Renz bid a simple farewell. He was heading to Totsuki Academy from a nearby station. Mafuyu Kirisu also led Mashiro Shiina into the apartment.

"Hello, I'm Renz's homeroom teacher. You can call me Kirisu Sensei," Mafuyu Kirisu introduced herself.

"I'm Mashiro Shiina," Mashiro Shiina gave a simple introduction.

Mafuyu Kirisu sat on the tatami mat, with a low table set up, on which there were still ungraded test papers. Renz's initial assessment scores weren't outstanding, but unexpectedly, his first monthly exam results were quite good. His grades improved rapidly. Conveniently, he lived next door. She had thought a home visit would be troublesome, but now she realized that a home visit would just be a matter of knocking on the door. She could also take the opportunity to learn more about Renz from his cousin-in-law, whom he had mentioned last time.

"Speaking of which, Mashiro is Renz's sister-in-law, isn't she?" Mafuyu Kirisu said, wearing her glasses and pretending to grade papers, speaking casually.

"Mhm," Mashiro Shiina came over, carrying a few things: a roll of drawing paper and a mobile phone. The phone was for reading novels and manga, and the drawing paper was for sketching ideas whenever good content came to mind.

"It's quite rare to get married at this age," Mafuyu Kirisu hinted again, subtly. "Do they usually live together?"

Mashiro Shiina pondered for a moment, then shook her head.

A couple who doesn't live together? Mafuyu Kirisu was a bit confused by the relationship. All in all, it must be some very special circumstance. For example, their studies were very demanding, making cohabitation inconvenient even after marriage? If that were the case, Renz was doing quite well. At this age, a larger proportion of one's focus should be on career development. If one didn't study hard and didn't achieve anything in their career, even if they married and had children, the pressure to live a happy life would be immense.

Speaking of which, this child in front of her seemed a bit odd, unexpectedly docile. If she didn't ask, Mashiro wouldn't say a word. Would it really be okay to leave her alone at home? Why did he ask her to look after her? Mafuyu Kirisu wondered.

Returning to familiar grounds, Renz stood before the gates of Totsuki Academy. He had heard from Erina that the old man would also be present to watch this international exchange student friendly match and the interaction between Totsuki Academy students. This was also an opportunity for Renz to showcase himself.

Within the [Stock Market Simulator], Alice's stock had actually seen a surge, reaching a value of 1%. This was the fastest-rising participant he had seen so far. Closely following was Hisako Arato, who had also steadily climbed from 0.001% to 0.3%. The entry of these two girls caused Erina's almost 99% value to fluctuate, dropping from 99% to 98%. Renz never imagined he would encounter such a situation.

And, Alice, were you really that bold? Renz had initially thought Alice's talk about "stealing boyfriends" was just a joke. Then, he woke up the next day to a completely transformed world, with Alice stumbling onto the [Life Simulator] and successfully going public. His original plan of keeping a low profile had to be temporarily changed.

If he continued to stay low-key, with this exaggerated rate of increase, Renz might go to sleep and wake up to find Alice lying next to him instead of Erina. If that happened, it would be utterly terrifying. Becoming a stepfather would be one thing, but what about Erina?

To curb the entry of these "illegally listed" participants, Renz had to accelerate his pace, because the simplest solution was right in front of him: gain the old man's approval. Marry Erina legitimately. Directly block the listing routes of others. Then, would he still have to worry about the unwanted current situation?

It's not like if the market closes, you can force a new life for me, right? That would be too crazy. Assuming this hypothesis holds true—that closing the market can eliminate other people's routes—then gaining the old man's appreciation becomes crucial. But Renz didn't know how to gain the old man's appreciation. In the future, the old man had always admired him and loved him as a grandson-in-law. After he married into the family, even the more core industries of the Nakiri family were entrusted to him to manage. He was treated completely as an heir, despite being a son-in-law who married into the family.

Given this, he could only grope in the dark. He would use the simplest display of skill to gain recognition. It was actually quite simple; the old man's focus was on the culinary world. As long as Renz crushed the others, the old man would naturally pay more attention to him.

Renz's recent rehabilitation training had been quite effective; his refinement at the ramen shop had paid off. His knife skills might not be at their peak, but at least they were decent. However, knife skills aren't that important in Western cuisine. Is the appearance of a dish important? Is it about being pretty?

The core of cooking is still taste. Knife skills are just a bonus in the eyes of outsiders. Professionals pursue stability, aiming to achieve most of the required fundamental skills and certain knife techniques for specific dishes, without overly pursuing the extreme of knife skills or deliberately showing off. Renz's current knife skills haven't reached the point where he can deliberately show off, but they're enough to handle these young people.

Wearing the clothes Erina had bought him at the mall, Hisako Arato, who had been waiting at the school gate, saw Renz. She waved and walked over.

"Come with me. This international student exchange friendly match is being held at a venue specifically for Shokugeki battles."

"For this friendly match, the international side has invited many European exchange students, as well as Totsuki Academy's ten strongest chefs."

"Although Erina-sama likes you very much, her liking alone isn't enough."

"Renz, try to gain more experience in this friendly match."

"When your reputation grows in the culinary world, the resistance to you and Erina-sama being together will greatly diminish."

Hisako Arato explained in a very serious tone. Moreover, the Erina-sama's "God's Tongue" also meant she couldn't marry a mediocre chef.

If Renz's strength wasn't enough, let alone the old man trying to stop them, Hisako Arato would also find a way to break up this relationship that was destined for unhappiness. This was the negative effect of the God's Tongue. If the taste of the God's Tongue couldn't be satisfied, the marriage would eventually end in tragedy.

Renz nodded slightly. "Gaining experience?" Not necessarily. He came to this international friendly match with the intention of crushing others and rising through their names. He couldn't drag it out and continue to be low-key.

Procrastination only leads to more trouble. After all, if he dragged it on for too long, Renz might genuinely be forced to become the cheap husband of a million women under the [Life Simulator]'s function.
