The next day, in the Far Moon Supreme Head Chef's office.
A tall old man with white hair and beard, dressed in a traditional samurai suit, exuding an imposing aura, was sitting in a chair, quietly listening to Hisako Arato's report.
He was the current Head Chef of Far Moon, also Erina Nakiri's grandfather, the Demon King of the culinary world, Senzaemon Nakiri!
"Erina, is she really living with a man?"
Senzaemon Nakiri asked in a deep voice, like a lion about to rage.
Hisako Arato was startled by the aura emanating from him, her heart trembled, and she lowered her head, saying, "Yes, Head Chef!"
Although she had told Miss Erina before that she wouldn't speak of it, as Miss Erina's blood relative, Senzaemon Nakiri had sufficient authority to know such a matter.
What's more, Miss Erina is inexperienced in the ways of the world and lacks common sense in many aspects. What if she was deceived by that guy?
It wasn't that she didn't trust Satou, but if he really deceived Miss Erina, it would definitely cause her deep harm.
Therefore, she tossed and turned all night, and finally decided to tell the Far Moon Head Chef, Senzaemon Nakiri, about this matter!
"What's that boy's name?"
Senzaemon Nakiri asked.
"His name is Satou. He's a first-year student at Far Moon. Here's his information."
Hisako Arato quickly handed Satou's information to Senzaemon Nakiri. This was filled out personally by Erina Nakiri when she helped Satou with his enrollment procedures.
Senzaemon Nakiri took it and glanced at it, and a strong hint of surprise immediately flashed in his eyes.
"He also has the God Tongue! And he received an A in every subject?"
"Yes, it is said that every Instructor has a very good impression of him."
Hisako Arato said truthfully.
"He is indeed very outstanding, but to be worthy of my granddaughter, being outstanding is far from enough."
Senzaemon Nakiri said in a deep voice. As the top culinary academy in Neon, Far Moon has as many proud talents as fish crossing a river. Such talent is not enough to convince him.
"Does Erina really like this boy?"
Senzaemon Nakiri was silent for a while, then asked.
"Yes, Miss Erina's smiles have indeed increased a lot recently."
Hisako Arato said, "Also, Miss Erina seems to have started learning how to wash clothes recently."
In the past few days, Erina Nakiri had indeed frequently asked Secretary Zi for advice on washing clothes.
"That child, she's actually started learning to wash clothes?"
Senzaemon Nakiri was truly surprised this time. He was silent for a moment, then said, "Bring that boy here for me to see."
"Yes... yes."
...
Satou had just finished a class with Tadokoro Megumi and was walking out of the classroom when he was stopped by a staff member.
"Huh? Head Chef wants to see Satou?"
Tadokoro Megumi couldn't help but be startled.
"Yes, please come immediately."
The staff member said politely.
"Satou, nothing's wrong, is it?"
Tadokoro Megumi couldn't help but get nervous, leaning close to Satou's ear and whispering, "Far Moon Head Chef Senzaemon Nakiri is a famous gourmet Demon King! Such a terrifying figure..."
"There shouldn't be any problem, right?"
Satou thought for a moment and said.
However, he was also a little nervous. Did Senzaemon Nakiri know about him living with the Tsundere?
Subsequently, Satou followed the staff member to the Far Moon Head Chef's office.
As soon as Satou entered the Head Chef's office, Senzaemon Nakiri was already sitting there waiting for him.
He was very tall, with white hair and a long beard. Due to his long tenure in a high position, he naturally carried an air of authority.
As soon as he saw Satou enter, Senzaemon Nakiri stared at him, his eyes shining brightly.
"Greetings, Head Chef."
Satou bowed and said.
Senzaemon Nakiri nodded and said, "You are Satou, aren't you? I heard you've been living with Erina recently?"
Satou's heart immediately skipped a beat. Sure enough, the other party already knew about him cohabiting with the Tsundere.
Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but pound. If his own daughter were to live with a strange man in the future, he would be very angry too, wouldn't he?
Senzaemon Nakiri looked at Satou calmly and said, "That child, Erina, has lacked parental care and love since she was young, so there are some flaws in her personality. I know this. To be honest, when I learned that she was living with you, I was very shocked."
At this point, he suddenly stood up, walked in front of Satou, and stared deeply at him.
Satou's heart immediately jumped. He wondered if the Tsundere's grandfather was going to attack him?
Then, he saw Senzaemon Nakiri suddenly step forward, bow to him, and say in a deep voice, "Then, I entrust Erina to you from now on!"
"Ah?"
This time, it was Satou's turn to be dumbfounded.
He had imagined many possibilities, but he had never thought it would be like this!
How does the style feel a bit off?
"That child, Erina, is very willful, with a proud and difficult personality. She has no friends, shows no mercy to others, and isn't likable, but in fact, she is a kind child. I hope Satou, you won't dislike her."
Senzaemon Nakiri said solemnly, "Please take good care of her from now on!"
"Uh, okay."
Seeing the other party so serious, Satou also quickly returned a bow.
In fact, the reason Senzaemon Nakiri approved of Satou, besides Satou himself being truly excellent and worthy of his granddaughter, was another important reason: he learned that Erina Nakiri truly liked him, and had even started learning household chores like washing clothes.
Due to his father's influence, to be honest, Senzaemon Nakiri had always worried about Erina Nakiri's lifelong happiness, fearing that with her personality, she wouldn't find someone she liked. But now that he knew she had already chosen someone, and this boy was indeed trustworthy, he naturally wouldn't object.
...
"Wha... what? You actually told Grandpa about me and Satou?"
Erina Nakiri stood in the hallway, asking in shock.
"I... I'm sorry, Miss Erina. I was worried about you, if you were deceived..."
Hisako Arato lowered her head in shame.
