"What you said last time wasn’t a joke, then?" Hisako Arato asked, exasperated. When Renz had specifically visited Totsuki Culinary Academy last time, Erina had also claimed that Renz was her boyfriend. However, Hisako had always thought it was a friendly joke and didn’t take it seriously. After all, the two had only interacted that one day, and there hadn’t been much contact afterward. There were no signs of a lovey-dovey couple; they seemed to be living their separate lives.

During the "God’s Tongue" judging, Erina-sama hadn’t even given Renz a "good face," seriously critiquing his cooking the entire time. If Erina hadn’t brought it up again this time, Hisako would have remained skeptical about the whole thing.

"It wasn’t a joke," Erina said, crushing Hisako Arato’s assumption.

"He’s really my boyfriend," Erina stated.

"But I’ve never heard of him. How did you two..." Hisako Arato, still trying to grasp the situation, replayed past moments in her mind. It seemed he had never appeared in her memory. "...get together?"

"Maybe in a dream," Renz said, finding it difficult to explain. He thought for a moment and continued, "In a dream, I saw Erina, and I thought she was especially beautiful, destined to be my wife. So, I took the opportunity to confess."

"Hey, that answer is too perfunctory! While I don’t know the specifics of your relationship with Erina-sama, she clearly seems very familiar with you, doesn’t she? ’Love at first sight’ is just an evasion! You two are definitely hiding some unknown secret!" Hisako Arato immediately retorted upon hearing this answer.

But the problem was, Renz had no way to explain the rather supernatural phenomenon between him and Erina. The explanation Renz gave was the best possible answer.

"It’s true, I fell for her at first sight," Renz reiterated, facing Hisako Arato’s disbelieving expression.

"Then, if it’s love at first sight, are you prepared and courageous enough to marry Erina-sama?" Hisako Arato asked, her gaze like a death stare.

Renz and Erina exchanged a knowing smile upon hearing this. What "prepared for marriage"? They had secretly even gotten their marriage certificate. Now, all they needed was everyone’s approval.

"Hisako-san, I’m always ready to marry Erina," Renz said, turning towards Erina. "Right, my dear wife?"

"Then, please, my husband, will you give me a grand wedding?" Erina replied in a teasing tone. "Speaking of which, I’ve also thought of a name for our second child. If it’s a boy, how about Haruki Nakiri?"

Hisako Arato’s vision went black. "No, Erina-sama, have you completely fallen head over heels?!" Hisako could hardly believe Erina would say such a thing. Was this the legendary "easy win" from romance manga?

"Isn’t it a problem that the Director General knows you’re dating?" Hisako Arato asked timidly. With the Director General’s personality, upon hearing this news, wouldn’t he immediately fly into a rage, grabbing a chef’s knife and chasing them down?

Erina, however, already understood this point. These past few days, she had been subtly testing the waters with the Director General, indirectly asking how he would react if she were to date. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The Director General was very open-minded. He didn’t seem to mind her dating, only requiring that the person be of good character, possess a skill, be able to support Erina, and ideally, be able to satisfy the "God’s Tongue." If all these conditions were met, he would approve of the relationship.

In short, the Director General wouldn’t interfere too much with the dating stage. Marriage, however, might be more troublesome. Erina’s parental consent form for her marriage had been obtained without the Director General’s approval, by secretly deceiving him through other means to get his signature. If he found out, that’s when the real trouble would begin.

The marriage itself needed to be kept a secret for now, but as for the dating aspect, honestly, she didn’t need to hide it. In fact, she could even boldly tell the Director General to prepare him mentally. Letting the Director General have a general outline in his mind—for example: they are dating, they get along well, they’ve been dating for a few years, then they get married. With such a gradual pace, the Director General would likely accept it quickly.

But if the Director General discovered that Renz and Erina had secretly married, that they were wildly in love in private, and that they had started living together without any notice, then the Director General’s first impression of Renz would not be good.

Therefore, Erina still hadn’t quite understood why Renz had rushed to register their marriage. However, in the end, Erina still chose to trust Renz.

"It’s fine," Erina answered Hisako Arato’s question. "Isn’t it normal to be dating at this age?"

Really? At this age, is dating really normal? Why haven’t I dated anyone? There isn’t even a single boy in the whole school who’s pursued me. Hisako Arato thought to herself with internal ’sadness.’

The adorable Secretary-ko-chan chose not to emphasize this or that any further. It was clear that Erina-sama had made her choice, and Erina’s behavior these past few days had been very mature.

Instead of overthinking, it would be better to keep a closer eye on Renz. See what qualities he possessed that could have captured Erina-sama’s attention.

"Miss Alice, isn’t it bad for us to stalk others?" Ryo Kurokiba asked in a low voice, looking at a very serious Alice.

"How can it be called stalking when we’re going the same way?" Alice retorted with a pout.

Yesterday, at Erina’s cooking facility, after eating Erina’s special fried chicken, even Alice had to admit Erina’s current progress. Remembering her own blunder that day, a blush couldn’t help but rise to Alice’s cheeks. After eating the fried chicken, she had even lingered to suck the juice from her fingers, wanting more.

Erina had watched her actions the entire time, displaying a caring, almost ’aunt-like’ smile. When Alice realized Erina’s gaze, she was completely ’killed’ by that ’maternal’ look.

She had made a huge fool of herself! How infuriating.

At the school gate, seeing Erina dressed up, as if going out, Alice finally decided to "accompany" them. Although she hadn’t heard the commotion or the content of their discussion, it seemed they were going shopping at a mall. Erina was also chatting and laughing with a man.

This move of hers... she called it escorting.

And, she might even get a chance to catch Erina making a fool of herself!

Erina, just you wait! The little devil inside Alice raised her trident and furiously stabbed it into the air.
