If the temperature of this dessert is not controlled properly, it will be a complete failure.
only……
Seeing that Erina made no unnecessary moves, Aoba smiled but remained silent.
Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
"Erina!!!"
A tall, elderly man, panting heavily, pushed open the wooden door.
Behind.
She was also accompanied by a girl who was about the same age as Erina Nakiri.
"Lady Erina!!"
Chapter 9: Rapidly Improving Culinary Skills! An Invitation from Totsuki Academy!
Aoba frowned when he heard the sound of the wooden door being violently pushed open.
His gaze fell on Kasumigaoka, who was fast asleep beside him. Seeing that she hadn't been woken up, he then turned his attention to the two who had barged in.
"Please keep quiet inside the shop."
Aoba showed no politeness whatsoever.
Even when facing the Food Demon King, who is frequently seen in the news.
"you……"
With a full head of silver hair and a majestic presence like a lion, Senzaemon Nakiri surveyed the shop's interior.
Then, after calming his breathing, he solemnly said:
"Shop manager, I'm sorry."
"I wonder what Erina is like now..."
Aoba pulled back the curtain separating the kitchen from the outside, her gaze gentle: "She's fine, sit down and wait."
Through the curtain, Senzaemon Nakiri saw Erina Nakiri, whom the entire Totsuki Group was worried about.
Ok……
There were no external injuries, and the cooking was done very quickly, so it did not appear to have been abused.
"Hoo~!"
Finally relieved, Senzaemon Nakiri regained his majestic status as the Demon King of Food.
"Lady Erina!"
Upon seeing this, the pink-haired follower couldn't help but call out.
"Huh? Ah!"
Place the prepared egg mixture into the preheated oven, and Erina turns around as if waking from a dream.
She was overjoyed to see that her grandfather and Hisako had arrived.
"Lady Erina! You...you're alright! That's wonderful!!!"
Hisako rushed through the front hall and into the kitchen, where she hugged Erina and wept with joy.
Tears mingled with sobs, making it difficult for Erina to cope.
The entire shop was filled with Hisako's low sobs and whimpers.
"Mr. Manager, I'm so sorry."
Upon seeing this scene, Senzaemon Nakiri's dignified face softened into a kind expression, and he couldn't help but look at Aoba beside him.
"My daughter has caused you too much trouble."
Aoba shook her head and looked directly at the Gluttonous Demon King: "It's nothing, I was just worried."
Then he looked at the two women embracing and said, "Erina has a good friend!"
"Um……"
As Senzaemon Nakiri listened to Aoba's reflections, he was filled with doubts about Aoba.
He certainly understands his granddaughter's personality.
If not arrogant, they are certainly quite stubborn.
Coupled with that guy's misguided upbringing of Erina, she gradually developed a willful and arrogant personality.
They even reject any food that doesn't conform to high-class standards!
But now...
Senzaemon Nakiri had been observing the small shop and its mature-beyond-his-years-old manager since he entered.
I don't know why, but there's always a sense of unease about it.
And Erina actually cooks in an izakaya that you can find anywhere on the street?!
If it weren't for the fact that I could see Erina's familiar techniques and culinary skills...
Xian Zuoweier Yichan S Wuqi b (six) Ermen all suspected that the one inside was his granddaughter.
"Ding dong~!"
The oven bell rang.
Erina suddenly woke up and, for no apparent reason, knocked on Hisako, who was still holding her tightly.
"It's all your fault, I forgot I was cooking."
"Cooking!?"
Hisako Shinoto finally came to her senses.
I started looking around at the kitchen, which was less than ten square meters, and the more I looked, the more unbelievable it seemed.
With her mouth agape, she stammered, "Lady Erina, you...you cook in a place like this!?"
Is Lady Erina possessed by a demon?!
You should know that at Totsuki Academy, Lady Erina owns several dedicated culinary buildings!
Why would someone cook in such a shabby place?
What's wrong with this place?
Erina, wearing heat-resistant gloves, took out the prepared soufflé eggs.
Then, meeting Hisako's gaze, which seemed to look at her like a monster, her fair face flushed slightly.
"Don't underestimate this shop, and don't underestimate the shop manager!"
talking.
He then placed the soufflé egg on the wooden table and confidently said to Aoba, "Mr. Manager, please enjoy!"
"Erina..."
Senzaemon, who was standing to the side, was surprised to see that Erina had given the dish to Aoba to taste. He felt a bit annoyed that his cabbage had been eaten by a pig.
"Grandpa, please try it for me too."
Erina gave one of the portions to Senzaemon.
"Ok."
Senzaemon's expression suddenly turned serious as he looked at the soft soufflé egg in front of him.
The Demon King of Food never shows mercy to dishes.
He cut off a piece with a spoon and put it in his mouth, his serious expression instantly becoming extremely relaxed.
Under Erina's surprised gaze, Senzaemon's upper body clothes began to billow incessantly!
It looked like it was about to explode at any moment!
"This……"
Even though the clothes didn't explode, Senzaemon's expression had never been so serious.
Erina was only missing for nine hours.
My cooking skills have improved so much?
"Lady Erina! Your cooking skills have improved again!!!"
Hisako looked at Erina in shock.
I am utterly convinced from the bottom of my heart.
"Mr. Store Manager?"
Erina, who was very satisfied with her improved cooking skills, looked at Aoba with strong confidence in her golden eyes.
It's like a child who wants to be praised by an adult.
"Hmm~"
With Erina's expectant gaze upon her, Aoba smiled and ate a piece of soufflé.
moment.
Soft, fluffy, and cloud-like in texture, it bursts on the tongue.
The sweetness of the egg flavor is delightful, followed by a lingering lemony aroma.
Aoba looked at Erina with considerable surprise: "You added lemon powder?"
"Um?!"
Erina, who was expecting praise, looked quite surprised when she heard Aoba's question.
"Manager, you could taste it?!"
"Hmm, adding fruit flavor to the egg aroma makes the overall flavor more prominent, very good!"
