Renz had no experience with these types of shows. The programs he typically appeared on were relatively serious, as he was older then and wouldn't accept entertainment-based content. Many were didactic culinary talent shows.
Moreover, Renz participated voluntarily to solidify his standing in the culinary world.
After all, the Nakiri family held a historical position of
widespread influence in the Japanese culinary world.
He hadn't been on recreational variety shows, but this type of program definitely thrived on interaction.
Human interaction would be the enjoyable aspect of such shows.
Erina had been involved in commercial activities since childhood, as the Nakiri family's heiress and the God's Tongue.
She had appeared on many shows, including a few variety programs, but with lukewarm reception.
This was because Erina didn't accept variety shows unrelated to cuisine, which confined her to a niche circle.
The culinary world has always been small.
Erina's widespread fame was entirely due to her ability,
the God's Tongue, to transcend the culinary sphere.
Many viewers tuned into these culinary shows for Erina's
reputation, only to be utterly defeated by the boring content of the culinary programs themselves.
In reality, many people wanted to see Erina demonstrate
abilities beyond cooking on challenge-based variety shows.
Of course, many also wanted to observe Erina's personality in a more casual, everyday setting.
________________________________________
The Christmas vacation flew by.
Senzaemon Nakiri's special training plan almost ended in a semi-failure, not because the students couldn't perform, but because they were too capable.
Who would have thought Renz would be so formidable?
The original idea was to pit a Totsuki Academy graduate against Eishi Tsukasa in a head-to-head battle.
The special training was to find this potential individual.
After confirming their potential, they would be nurtured at Gourmet Street and eventually truly step onto the PK stage with Eishi Tsukasa.
But Renz simply ended the game prematurely.
Could Gourmet Street foster talent?
They couldn't.
Renz alone had defeated Gourmet Street. Could the numerous chefs of the defeated Gourmet Street still train Renz?
This became a completely unnecessary endeavor.
And after Renz's successful challenge at Gourmet Street, his naturally rising prestige would undoubtedly rival that of the currently popular Eishi Tsukasa.
Currently, the media, lacking fresh topics, was relentlessly milking the story of Renz defeating Gourmet Street.
They endlessly recounted Renz's "past and present life"how he debuted, where he debuted, his skills, what he did, and how formidable he truly was.
Viewers were sick of these repeated narratives.
So, these media outlets began fabricating gossip about Renz, starting to concoct stories about Renz and Erina's meeting and romance.
They didn't know how Renz and Erina got married.
But that didn't mean they couldn't adapt other people's love stories.
This was the media's most common tactic: slightly modify some story content and write it to be heartfelt and moving enough to touch people's emotions.
As long as this content wasn't deliberately slandering Renz and Erina, most people wouldn't bother to address them.
Such vivid accounts of their love story naturally sparked intense discussion among many.
Stories of wealthy heiresses falling for impoverished scholars are always popular, regardless of the trope.
Old tropes always win hearts.
These media outlets understood perfectly how to win over the public; they knew exactly where the wind was blowing.
The New Year started with a bang, and Renz and Erina's vacation life was undoubtedly comfortable.
Totsuki Resort was Senzaemon Nakiri's property.
It was the Nakiri family's property.
It was arguably one of the most premium resorts
globally, and Renz, as the Nakiri family's son-in-law, naturally enjoyed the best of the best.
This "eating soft rice" (being supported by his wife's family) had made Renz a bit numb.
He experienced the ultimate life of extravagant wealth.
Although he had experienced it before, Renz was a bit strange; he didn't particularly like vacations and preferred to "lie dead" at home playing games.
Such vacation experiences were relatively infrequent for
him.
This time, Erina had led him to experience such a luxurious life.
His smile held three parts bitterness, two parts boredom, one part helplessness, and he even wanted to top up his Steam account with thousands of dollars to open some loot boxes.
However, remembering his current dismal financial situation, he still gave up on that idea.
Experiencing the resort as a son-in-law meant everything was free, with dedicated attendants and butlers providing amenities.
Any in-game purchases, however, would come out of his own pocket.
At the moment, there was no need to spend that unnecessary money.
With a week left until the filming of the second season of "Koi no Challenge," Chief Director Yu Nagasawa finally sent Erina the content for the first episode via LINE.
The first episode would feature each new couple's self-introduction, with each pair making an appearance in a different location.
And each couple had to choose an unconventional outfit for their appearance.
Renz could roughly understand the reason for this segment: they wanted to attract an audience.
Unconventional outfits would certainly have unique selling points.
A wedding dress and suit combination was one option.
A kimono was another.
Halloween playful outfits were also a type.
There were also chess players' uniforms and chefs' uniforms.
Totsuki Academy's chef uniform was a pristine white uniform, but to be honest, chef uniforms weren't particularly attractive.
Renz and Erina entered the PK (Personal Choice) segment.
Erina's suggestion was a wedding dress.
Because she had never worn a wedding dress in front of others; she had only secretly worn it herself. Each time she almost got married, she never got to experience wearing a wedding dress before she traveled through time to the future.
Given this opportunity by the production team, Erina didn't think twice and insisted on wearing one.
Because the production team's suggestion was to choose some rarely used outfits, but in fact, in the first season, there had already been scenes of couples wearing wedding dresses.
They definitely needed to choose something that no one else had, was very beautiful, and had unique
characteristics.
Renz and Erina each had their own opinions.
They argued for a whole day.
Erina just wanted to wear a wedding dress, and Renz was equally stubborn. While he didn't think Erina wearing a wedding dress was bad, if they wanted to stand out from other groups, ancient Hanfu was a very good choice.
Sometimes, such disagreements are truly hard to resolve.
It's not that if two people have a good relationship, they won't sulk or have spats.
Is that even possible?
It's impossible.
Everyone, more or less, has talked back to their parents, but that doesn't mean their relationship with their parents is bad, does it?
Disagreements are just disagreements, differing opinions are just differing opinions. It's simply that two people have different starting points and different perspectives.
In a relationship where Renz and Erina are treated as equals, there certainly won't be one party overly indulging and accommodating the other. Otherwise, such a marriage could easily become dominated by one side and gradually turn distorted.
Love is equal.
If one party gives too much, that excess love can become a tool for the other to trample upon.
Couples who never argue are the hardest to reconcile, as they excessively tolerate each other's flaws. Once a conflict erupts, it directly leads to the grave, and ultimately they go their separate ways.
Renz and Erina sulked and gave each other the cold shoulder for almost an entire day over this matter.
Ultimately, Erina admitted defeat.
During their quiet conversation that night,
Renz successfully used his eloquent tongue to persuade her to agree with his opinion.
During the day, there was no opportunity to talk, as they were in a cold war, sulking, and had no time or space for dialogue.
But such disagreements are minor issues, not enough to warrant sleeping in separate rooms. In the same room, lying in bed, they calmly discussed their views. As long
as both parties were reasonable,
Then, after a calm discussion,
As long as Renz's points made sense,
There would be no reason to continue sulking.
