“That is proper, I believe the identical approach!” Ichiyo nodded in settlement and stated, “I used to check music and I am proficient in taking part in, singing, and plucking devices. Once I was six years outdated, I visitor starred as an additional in a particular results drama. I might be thought-about a baby star. Are you aware that Digimon, the one the place the witch deceived a bunch of youngsters with lollipops and took away their goals? Considered one of them was me!”

As Ichiyo talked about his wonderful deeds, he could not assist however really feel proud. Nonetheless, this pleasure was rapidly adopted by deep remorse. “I am naturally suited to the humanities and I used to be planning to type a band and debut. However my outdated man unexpectedly trapped me right here to be a chef.”

Erina stared at Ichiyo in shock as he spoke. She could not consider that her grandfather had organized a wedding for her with somebody who did not even just like the career of a chef however needed to do music as an alternative. She could not assist however surprise how the desserts made by this man might nonetheless have an effect on the temper of the individuals who ate them. What a waste of expertise.

Erina Nakiri admitted that she was feeling a bit bitter inside. She could not assist however envy Ichiyo’s expertise for cooking, which appeared to return naturally to him, not like her personal capacity to make individuals lose their sense of urge for food with just some bites.

Ichiyo observed the unusual look in Erina’s eyes and felt a bit confused, similar to when he used to look at a magic present in his earlier life. “Since you have completed consuming, that will likely be 1000 yen. Thanks for your corporation, have a pleasant day.”

Desires like which are just for a choose few and for individuals who do not perceive them, it is like taking part in the violin for a cow. That is proper, Ichiyo felt that this haughty woman, regardless of her refined look, she did not appear to know his ardour for music, and he noticed her as a cussed and clueless cow. He determined to shut the store and cope with his baggage, however she stopped him.

“You are making an attempt to do away with me?”

Erina checked out Ichiyo in disbelief, her finger pointing at her nostril. She had by no means seen a store proprietor attempt to kick out their clients like this earlier than.

Ichiyo chuckled, shaking his head. “In fact not, it is simply that I simply took over this store right this moment and I nonetheless have a whole lot of baggage to arrange upstairs, so…”

Bang!

Erina slammed her teacup on the counter, her eyes fastened on Ichiyo. “I need a refill!”

“Nicely… it would price further…”

Slap!

Erina positioned a ten,000 yen invoice on the desk.

Ichiyo seems to be on the critical lady in entrance of him and feels that there’s an irresistible golden gentle emanating from her. He realizes that she is a rich particular person, a fats lamb. He tilts his head barely and says, “To be sincere, I’ve observed that you simply appear to have some opinions about me because you come into my store. Do we all know one another?”

Ichiyo stares intently on the lady, and he or she hesitates, her face flushing barely as she struggles to reply. Out of the blue, the sound of automobile horns exterior interrupts them. Ichiyo seems to be out the window and sees a black luxurious automobile parked exterior.

“Is somebody right here to select you up?” he asks.

Erina turned to look, relieved, and nodded. She then shifted her gaze, considering of a good suggestion, and confirmed the thought.

“My title is Nakiri Alice, and I heard from my grandfather right this moment that you’re my sister’s fiance. So I got here to check your cooking expertise, and from what I can see, your culinary expertise is superb. Let’s take into account this a move for now, but when I come once more and you do not work laborious to enhance, I’ll discover a technique to make my sister attempt to divorce you!”

Ichiyo regarded on the critical lady with a barely humorous gaze. The wedding settlement between their two households had been set by their elders, and as soon as it was confirmed, it was recognized by at the least half of the higher circle in Tokyo, if not all of Japan. How might divorce be really easy to say?

This was not a brainless idol drama, the place all the pieces could possibly be performed with so simply. What concerning the face of their two households?

This little lady was actually silly, most likely as a result of she had learn too many novels and manga and was confused about actuality.

However in keeping with her phrases, she was his future sister-in-law?

She regarded foolish, however she was a normal golden-haired spoiled brat. Ichiyo felt that she can be simple to cope with.

“Does your sister take heed to you numerous?”

“In fact!”

Erina was shocked by Ichiyo’s nonchalant angle in direction of divorce. She had all the time thought that when a wedding was organized, it was a achieved deal and there was no turning again. However Ichiyo gave the impression to be suggesting in any other case. She could not consider that he can be so informal about one thing that might doubtlessly break the status of each their households. Nonetheless, Erina additionally knew that so long as they weren’t married but, it was nonetheless attainable to interrupt the engagement on the final minute, despite the fact that it will possible trigger a whole lot of damaging penalties.

After seeing Ichiyo’s expertise, Erina determined to present him a while and check him, whereas secretly observing him within the guise of her cousin. Nonetheless, to her shock, he was much more desperate to be divorced than she was.

“In case your sister is prepared to take heed to you, then attempt to persuade her to discover a technique to dissolve the engagement with me. Whereas the engagement remains to be new, we are able to nonetheless protect some face for each households to the best extent attainable,” Ichiyo stated with a faint smile on his face. Nonetheless, this smile appeared disagreeable to Erina.

“To be sincere, I’m not precisely a person worthy of entrusting a lifetime to. In case you actually have an excellent relationship along with your sister, then attempt to persuade her,” Ichiyo added.

Given the present standing of the Sakuraba and Nakiri households in Japan, even when the engagement must be dissolved, it can’t be initiated by Ichiyo’s household, however can solely be initiated by the Nakiris. It is a default unstated rule. In any case, solely the sturdy have the {qualifications} to interrupt the so-called “custom” that varieties the principles of the cage.

As for whether or not the Nakiri household will finally comply, it is determined by whether or not Erina can persuade her sister and whether or not her sister is favored by the present head of the Nakiri household.

“Is that basically how you are feeling?” Erina requested.

“What else might it’s?”

“However is not your loved ones presently in want of the help of the Nakiri household to get by way of these subsequent few a long time and not using a top-class chef to help them?”

“So what? The Sakuraba household has all the time been a pastry household and has handled the excessive officers and nobles. However we have additionally been restricted by these innate circumstances. Who is aware of if, with out counting on pastry expertise, the Sakuraba household might develop in different methods and the way far we might go sooner or later?”

Ichiyo regarded assured. On this world, there are lots of methods to earn a living, not simply as a chef. Though his career may not be an ideal match, the Sakuraba household is at the least an outdated and well-established household with a deeper historical past than the extra just lately risen Nakiri household. With all these good circumstances, a reborn’s perspective, and the capital to discover a technique to develop in different fields, it is not completely inconceivable.

Being a chef is likely to be a high-ranking career on this world, but it surely’s nonetheless not essentially the most profitable career. Those who actually take advantage of cash are all the time the capitalists who management and encourage a bunch of individuals to work laborious.

Erina took a deep breath, her chest heaving. She used her slender, honest fingers to faucet Ichiyo’s nostril, stopping the annoying smile on his face.

“I disagree!” The voice was not loud, but it surely was agency.

Ichiyo was a proficient younger man, he had the potential to develop and obtain nice issues. Why would he waste his expertise like this?

Erina checked out him severely, “You aren’t allowed to do anything, simply concentrate on studying methods to prepare dinner!”

Possibly it was out of compassion for seeing somebody with expertise throw it away, or possibly it was as a result of she could not neglect the nice feelings that the pastries had introduced earlier. Both approach, Erina didn’t need to see Ichiyo waste his potential.

Being a chef was a extremely revered career, even top-level cooks have been consistently striving for enchancment.

Ichiyo was unperturbed by Erina’s finger poking at his nostril, he simply gave her an off-the-cuff look.

“Little sister, it doesn’t matter what occurs, it should not be your concern what I need to do.”

Erina didn’t again down, as an alternative she acknowledged a reality firmly, “Even when Erina knew about this, she would not agree.”

Nonetheless, Ichiyo had a merciless actuality to share, “Erina is your older sister?”

“Sure!”

“If I do not research laborious, then what?” requested Ichiyo, rising slightly irritated at this youthful sister’s interference in his private life. Though he discovered her cute, she was additionally overly self-righteous and bossy. In any case, he was not even married to her sister but, and even when they did finally get married, it will not be acceptable for a youthful sister-in-law to intrude on her brother-in-law’s personal life a lot.

Ichiyo gently pushed down on the finger that Erina was utilizing to poke his nostril, urgent it frivolously in opposition to the glass counter. She checked out him calmly, her voice low and critical. “Ichiyo, I do know you might have expertise as a chef. However that does not imply you’ll be able to’t pursue different issues that you simply get pleasure from. In case you actually need to do one thing else, then try to be allowed to do it. I simply do not need to see you waste your expertise.”

Erina checked out Ichiyo, her eyes crammed with willpower. “I will not allow you to waste your expertise. I am going to do no matter it takes that can assist you change into the most effective chef you might be. You simply have to vow me that you’re going to research laborious and provides it your all.”

Ichiyo sighed, feeling slightly overwhelmed by Erina’s willpower. He knew that she meant effectively, however he additionally did not need to be managed by her. “I am going to do my greatest, Alice. However I even have my very own goals and wishes. I hope you’ll be able to perceive that.”

Erina nodded, a small smile showing on her face. “I perceive. However I additionally know that you’ve the potential to realize nice issues as a chef. I simply need to see you attain your full potential.”

Ichiyo was touched by her honest phrases. He knew that he had a protracted highway forward of him, however with Erina’s help, he felt able to tackle no matter challenges got here his approach.

Though Ichiyo has an excellent character, it does not imply that he would not have a mood and cannot be fierce. Nonetheless, normally, Ichiyo has all the time disdained utilizing dog-like conduct like impotent rage to keep up dignity, as it’s silly and never very helpful. An individual who by no means will get indignant is a monster, an individual who’s all the time indignant is a cannon fodder, and the one that can calmly take into consideration the state of affairs when one thing makes them indignant is essentially the most terrifying.

Erina was intimidated by Ichiyo’s demeanor and gaze for a second and her face turned barely pale. Ichiyo might see that exterior his personal retailer, the black luxurious enterprise automobile shook barely, however nobody walked into the store. Erina’s pupils started to have some mist and her eyes have been crimson as she checked out Ichiyo with some grievances.

She clearly did this for the sake of this man! If this man might make good use of his expertise, maybe in only one or two years he might attain his grandfather’s peak and help the household’s state of affairs with out having to depend on marriage to get assist from others. However… Seeing the lady’s pupils swirl with tears and the expression of tears that have been about to circulate out with grievance, Ichiyo unconsciously let go and sighed, and the initially sturdy and chilly demeanor disappeared. “We’re speaking properly simply now, why are you crying?”

“I did not cry!” Erina coated her face along with her sleeves and glared at Ichiyo.

“Both approach, I am going to ship the notes over tomorrow. In case you do not research it, I am going to inform our elders about this!”

“I am not formally married to your sister but, so your grandfather cannot management me in issues like these.” Ichiyo regarded on the cussed younger woman and could not assist however discover her considerably cute.

Did she actually assume he can be afraid of her telling the elders as in the event that they have been nonetheless in kindergarten or elementary college?

Erina did not care about Ichiyo’s patronizing gaze and severely replied, “I am going to inform your grandfather too!”

Ichiyo’s expression froze.

Erina had already turned and walked away, her eyes nonetheless crimson from virtually crying earlier.
