The blonde girl looked like an elf under the warm yellow light.
It gave the store's lights a slightly brighter, almost illusion-like quality.
"Aoba."
Aoba said her name in surprise.
Could this girl have been scared out of her wits by Rize Kamishiro?
Why are you staring at him like that?
"My name is Erina Nakiri, Manager Aoba. I... I'll remember you!"
Erina took a deep breath.
Her heart was in turmoil at that moment.
She ruled out those famous chefs in her mind one by one.
In other words.
The person in front of her, who was about the same age as her, was a chef whose reputation had never been known to anyone!
This made her even more shocked and resentful!
Why would a chef like that open a restaurant in a place like this?!
Why not go to Totsuki!?
With such strength, are you willing to degenerate in a place like this?!
It really makes me angry!
"Nakiri..."
Hearing this surname and the girl's behavior as if she had taken some kind of drug...
Aoba remembered it instantly.
I couldn't help but be surprised by what Rize Kamishiro was preying on.
That woman is truly brave!
Not to mention that the Prosecutor's Office headquarters is located in District 20, the Food Association alone is a tough group to deal with.
Seeing that Qingye was stunned for a second or two.
Erina Nakiri's strange thought process seemed to have just come to its senses.
"Huh?! Um... I'm not..."
"In short, I am very grateful for your life-saving grace, and also..."
"Let's have a food battle!"
If she wins, she'll definitely send Store Manager Aoba to Totsuki for further studies!!
Such culinary talent absolutely cannot be wasted in a place like this!!!
His gilded pupils blazed with a scorching light.
At this moment, she is no longer the high and mighty culinary queen, but a hunter awakened by primal appetite.
"Oh my, the store manager is so lucky!"
Kasumigaoka rested his chin on his hand, looking at Erina Nakiri and Aoba with amusement.
"This is a personal request from the eldest daughter of the Nakiri family. If it were me, I might agree immediately and propose at the same time..."
Snapped!
Aoba reluctantly put away his hand chop and turned to look at Nakiri Erina.
"Sorry, I'm very happy living here. If you'd like to eat again, you're welcome anytime."
As an ordinary person in District 20.
He understands very well what it means to be content with what you have.
A place like Totsuki Academy is not suitable for him.
"But with your talent..."
Erina Nakiri was still thinking of recruiting her.
But looking at Aoba's calm and gentle smile...
Just like the savory flavor hidden behind the ordinary ingredients of oden.
Cuisine is a product that showcases the chef's own philosophy!
He won't waver easily!
At least Erina Nakiri understands that she doesn't yet have the power to sway the shopkeeper.
"I understand."
Erina, seemingly knowing everything, sat down again and began to savor the ordinary bowl of oden.
But in his heart, he was beginning to think about Kasumigaoka's suggestion.
"If I were to propose to the shop manager..."
If Grandpa knew about his culinary talent, he would definitely agree!
However, the only problem is that the store manager has to marry into the family.
“Nakiri…Aoba…”
Hehe~!
Looking at Erina Nakiri lost in her own fantasy, Aoba shook his head helplessly.
What's going on!
Why are they all clinging to him?
"Aoba-kun, do you like life here even a little bit because of me?"
Upon hearing Aoba's reply, Kasumigaoka, standing to the side, smiled and stared intently at Aoba.
"Ah, right, right, after all, Kasumigaoka-san is the first customer to come to my shop!"
Aoba walked up to her with fried chicken nuggets and oolong tea.
"Please enjoy."
"Hehehe, as expected... Aoba-kun is still so soft-hearted."
Kasumigaoka grinned foolishly.
"Anyway, there's no one else in the shop, so why don't you have a drink with me, Aoba-kun?"
"Besides, it's not even alcohol, so let's just consider it a celebration!"
Aoba looked at Kasumigaoka's watery eyes and nodded helplessly.
"Ok."
"Thank you, kind and enlightened Aoba-kun!"
The girl, with a mischievous and teasing expression, spoke to Aoba.
Gududu~
"Ah! Delicious!"
"By the way, Aoba-kun, it looks like you're simmering something in the kitchen. It smells so good!"
Halfway through their drink, Kasumigaoka suddenly looked towards the kitchen and sniffed the air.
"Hmm? I made some hot beer, want some?"
"May I?"
"Of course, after all, you're a guest!"
Aoba returned to the kitchen with a smile, but she didn't see Kasumigaoka's triumphant smile in the hall.

……
"Hmm? What are you drinking?"
With a rosy complexion, Erina Nakiri finally managed to break free from her fantasies and the food.
Kasumigaoka was holding a cup and grinning foolishly.
Not fully awake yet, she reached out and took the cup from her.
"Hey, you..."
Gudu Gudu~~

Aoba, who was holding a wooden spoon, suddenly froze.
Those two guys...
What on earth are they doing?!

"Hey!"
