----------------------------------------------------------
Deep in the night.
Alice and Rina were already resting in the adjacent room.
After a brief discussion, it was late, so Renz casually bid his sister-in-law goodnight and headed back to his room after some polite exchanges.
The door closed, and Erina locked it.
She sat on the bed, crossing her legs.
"Confess and be lenient; resist and be strict," Erina questioned Renz, staring at him. "Tell me, why did Alice give you her molecular gastronomy journal? Donât be vague."
Renz lay directly on the bed, ignoring Erinaâs crossed legs.
"I said I wanted to learn molecular gastronomy, I wanted to make molecular dishes for you, so she gave it to me,"
Renz said, believing there was no need to ask.
"You said you wanted to learn, and she just gave it to
you so readily?" Erina asked, hesitating.
"Otherwise? Would she teach me hand-in-hand? Youâd chop me up then," Renz rolled his eyes and said, sitting up cross-legged. "Donât be so suspicious."
"No, itâs mainly that Alice has never married, which makes me quite scared," Erina said after a moment of silence.
"Whatâs there to be afraid of?" Renz didnât understand Erinaâs logic. It couldnât be that Alice remained unmarried because of Renz, could it?
That would be too absurd.
Their relationship was limited to the realm of culinary studies and the normal sister-in-law/brother-in-law dynamic; there were no abnormal social interactions.
"If you really want to talk about it, donât you have a cousin, Mashiro Shiina? She hasnât married either," Renz added. "Itâs just that she hasnât found the right person yet."
Erina thought about it; perhaps she was indeed overthinking.
"By the way, what you did at the Gourmet Street is already famous," Erina said, pulling herself into the covers.
"So Ferran Adria still has quite a standing in the culinary world, huh?" Renz scratched his head.
"Oh, actually, in Japan, Ferran Adriaâs reputation is rather limited," Erina added.
It was a matter of circles.
Ferran Adria was a master of molecular gastronomy, active in Spain and across Europe, and his peak period was twenty years ago.
This timeline was too long, so much so that many people outside the culinary world, without delving deep into his background, would find it difficult to recognize his true identity.
Those not well-versed in cuisine might not recognize Ferran Adria.
"This fame should have been brought to you by Master Sadamori Ono," Erina said.
Sadamori Ono was very famous in the Japanese culinary world, both within and outside his circle.
Because sushi is considered a quintessential Japanese cuisine, almost a cultural icon, and Sadamori Onoâs Ono Sushi had held the top spot in Japanese sushi for over a decade.
Sadamori Onoâs father was revered as the God of Sushi.
Even those unfamiliar with cuisine knew that the Ono family produced the best sushi chefs in Japan.
This meant that Renzâs victory over Sadamori Ono brought him a surge of popularity and fame, which indirectly led to his background being thoroughly investigated.
Consequently, his opponent in the second round, Ferran Adria, was also meticulously analyzed by the media.
By now, everyone knew that Renz was Erinaâs husband,
the spouse of the Nakiri familyâs new Godâs Tongue.
They also knew about Renzâs exceptionally high culinary skills.
"What good will that bring?" Renz frowned. Early fame
often became a burden, affecting oneâs quality of life.
"After you became famous, I suddenly received many invitations for TV programs," Erina said. "There were invitations for us to appear on food shows."
"There were also invitations for us to be on comedy shows."
"All in all, from what Iâve seen, the compensation is quite good, offering a rather high fee."
"Once you conquer all the people at the food festival in the next few days, your worth might even double."
"At that point, we could definitely participate in these shows to earn money, and then use the money we earn to improve our lives, buy a new house, a new car," Erina outlined her rough plan.
"No variety shows at all," Renz said, disliking these Japanese variety shows, most of which were quite
humiliating.
Their purpose was to entertain the audience by making celebrities look foolish.
While that was the underlying principle paying celebrities to make fools of themselves for audience enjoyment watching it and participating in it were two entirely different matters.
Renz had no desire to be a laughingstock on stage.
"I donât want to go on food shows either," Renz added. He had participated in food shows before, and for someone of his caliber, appearing on them felt somewhat demeaning.
Not participating was the best option.
Erina was also aware of this; she dismissed food show invitations even faster than others.
"Hereâs a family program we could try," Erina said,
sifting through all the invitations and mentioning a program she thought they could consider.
"The show is called [Our Wonderful Life], and it invites newlywed celebrities from various industries to participate."
"There are pianists, artists from different fields, voice actors, famous actors, and even hosts."
"The requirement is to be a newlywed couple or a couple with children."
"And to feature couples from different professions, theyâve truly gone to great lengths, offering us an incredibly high fee," Erina complained. "Indeed, in Japan, entertainers are the cheapest."
Thatâs obvious.
There are so many entertainers, and certainly many newlywed or child-bearing ones.
But what about other fields?
Finding famous people who also have children or are newly married would be incredibly difficult.
The show couldnât invite unknown people to appear, as that would affect viewership ratings.
Erina and Renzâs qualifications made them almost the ideal choice for this program.
Because they were in the culinary world.
Secondly, they were the two most skilled newlywed chefs in the culinary world, and they also had a child such a combination was hard to find.
Finally, Erina possessed the Godâs Tongue, and its popularity was undeniable, even known by people outside the culinary world.
This led to their exceptionally high worth and compensation.
"Donât agree yet, let them wait a few days while we conquer the Gourmet Street first," Renz mused.
Japanese family-oriented programs wouldnât be too excessive; such shows are primarily educational, and pranks wouldnât be effective.
Moreover, the guests invited were all elites from various fields, and these elites werenât there to play the clown.
They werenât comedians and didnât have the endurance to put up with being made fun of.
People with temperaments would simply leave the set if they were annoyed.
Likewise, they had the ability to express their dissatisfaction.
Elites are different from entertainers who can be replaced or swapped out at any time; some industry elites are irreplaceable.
For example, the Godâs Tongue in the culinary world.
Only the Nakiri family possesses the Godâs Tongue. If the show angered the Nakiri family, there would be no substitute.
This was the advantage of being invaluable and in high demand.
Upon seeing this, Renz felt as if participating in this show would be like picking up money. So, he decided to intensify his efforts at the Gourmet Street to further boost his value.
Renz, who had originally planned not to hold back, now,
after seeing the showâs requirements and compensation on Erinaâs phone, felt even more strongly that not only should he not hold back in this Gourmet Street challenge, but he should also escalate the intensity of the confrontation.
This way, it would be easier to maximize his worth.
