When Erina heard that Shiro was willing to help, she felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her and immediately calmed down.
After all, for their family this matter was of the greatest importance, both her own problem and her mother's problem.
Erina sobered up from those words, and then looked at Shiro with an uneasy gaze.
"Can you solve that problem?"
Hearing this, Shiro immediately gave her a big eye-roll and spoke in an irritated tone.
"Haven't you already seen my abilities? It's just a matter of one sentence, right?"
Erina clearly understood that this person's bearing and actions at this moment were serious, which meant that it really was a matter of one sentence. Thinking of that, she felt somewhat broken.
"If you had such an ability, why didn't you say it earlier?"
Shiro looked at her desperate expression and felt somewhat speechless.
"Why would I have said it earlier? In a way, we're not close, alright? Alice is the one I'm close with."
"The only thing we have is a superficial acquaintance. Have you forgotten? Our first meeting was not very pleasant."
"Most importantly, back then you were on the verge of defeat. If Alice had not spoken up, you would have lost very badly. So tell me, if not for this little accident today, from what perspective should I help you?"
"I don't lack money, and your family is the leader of the culinary world in this country, but you know my own culinary skills. When I am serious, none of you are qualified to eat."
"So tell me, why would I have said it earlier?"
"To say it openly, Alice doesn't even know about this ability of mine; your discovery today was only an accident."
In order to prevent her from misunderstanding and thinking that Alice was intentionally causing trouble, Shiro still explained that one sentence.
Erina heard this and admitted that what he said made sense and could not refute him. After all, Shiro was speaking the truth; he really had no reason to offer help on his own.
Erina felt very unwilling. Even though she had Tootsuki as backing, this was the first time she realized that her family's power and her own ability could not move even a single person!
Erina had an opportunity right in front of her and did not want to miss it. Her eyes suddenly began to wander, and after thinking for a long time she spoke:
"You did such rude things to me just now, so don't you have to offer some compensation~?"
Erina remembered the extremely humiliating things that had just happened and had no choice but to use that in order to demand compensation.
Shiro showed that a moral person would certainly give compensation, but unfortunately he had no morals, and he also had an excuse. In response to her words, he clasped his hands together, shrugged, and spoke with a helpless expression.
"As for what just happened, I also wanted to give you compensation, but the problem is that you didn't want it. After all, you just clearly said that you wanted us to be sworn enemies. In such a situation, it is very difficult for me."
As soon as Shiro said this, he cornered her once again. Erina felt a little regret. Why did she have to shout those words? Now she felt as if she were caught between a hammer and an anvil.
"You…"
"Don't bother. If you want my help, you have to offer appropriate terms. Let me remind you first, your mother can only receive glucose day after day, which means that her body is in very bad condition. Think carefully before you come to me, alright? Remember that you have to pay the appropriate price, and don't even think about using Alice to beg me. I'm telling you, when it comes to transactions, I am without emotions."
When Erina heard this and wanted to continue arguing with Shiro, the secretary intervened, directly pulling her young mistress away. While being dragged away, Erina shouted at Hisako to let her go quickly.
Hisako looked at her young mistress who kept resisting and felt somewhat helpless. However, in this situation she definitely had to go back and tell the Headmaster everything. If her young mistress continued staying here, it would not bring anything good. And most importantly, Shiro was a person who was very difficult to deal with. It would be best to call Young Mistress Alice so they could discuss it together.
Hisako was unbelievably calm at this moment.
After the people left, Shiro looked at the beautiful head chef in front of him. She looked somewhat uncertain at this moment, obviously having witnessed many things she should not have seen, and for a while she did not know what to do.
"My apologies, my apologies. I didn't expect such an accident to happen. Although it was an accident, I won't take too much blame for it."
"Let's add each other as friends. If you need help next time, you can come to me. At least my professionalism is better than that tsundere's."
Kikuchi Sonoka's eyes lit up when she heard this. After all, leaving everything else aside, just in terms of cooking, Shiro was definitely the most incredible person she had ever met.
Even the delicious dish that had just made her experience an entire wedding and a "naughty" process could be said to be something no one could surpass at present, not to mention that the other side had not even fully used his strength.
Kikuchi Sonoka's face turned red again when she remembered some inappropriate scenes. Then she did not dare look at Shiro, because she could not forget that feeling. She even regretted it after waking up. When she saw Shiro, the voice in her heart wanted to experience such a thing in reality with the person in front of her, but it was too shameful to say out loud.
Then, after things ended vaguely, Shiro left. However, just when he was walking out of the kitchen, he turned his head and said something.
"Beautiful chef, let me remind you, it would be best if you cleaned the floor."
Kikuchi Sonoka was pulled back to reality by these words. Then, looking at the wet floor and remembering that it was the masterpiece of four people, she immediately covered her face with a blush, crouched down like an ostrich, and muttered, "How will I ever get married now?"
Then she thought of Shiro in the culinary illusion, and an idea came to her mind: "Why don't I marry him?" But she quickly dismissed that thought, wondering whether he would even be interested in her.
If Shiro had not already left, he would definitely have said, "Of course I'd be interested, little woman, there's room for you." But unfortunately, he had already gone. He was walking down the street with Kirishima Shoko and decided to cancel the movie because it was already late.
"Shiro, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"
Kirishima Shoko tilted her head and said this seemingly meaningless sentence. Shiro always understood what she meant and immediately began to defend himself.
"This time you are really accusing me unfairly. This matter really has little to do with me, understand? This is their family's special ability, so all those shockwaves were caused by them. I even protected their restaurant during it, otherwise it might have collapsed."
Kirishima Shoko understood after hearing that and was very surprised.
"What is going on? Does eating good food always make them become like that?"
"Emmm... That question can only be answered by their family genes or bloodline or something similar. In any case, there are all kinds of things, so it is completely normal for this to happen. However, for that tsundere to trigger this phenomenon, the taste has to be extremely good. Look, she has eaten so many dishes from star chefs, has there ever been any news that something like this happened?"
Kirishima Shoko realized that under normal circumstances, or in 99% of cases, this phenomenon would not occur, which was why she did not know about it. It just so happened that the 1% was done by Shiro, which was why it turned out like this.
"Do you like that head chef? Or, more precisely, are you interested in her?"
Shiro did not expect her to ask such a direct question. Is this girl a little too direct?
"Emmm... A little, I guess. I feel that she is pretty good. If there is an opportunity, I will try further. If not, then so be it, I won't force anything. It all depends on fate."
"After all, with a princess like her in the family, there are quite a lot of things to think about."
Just when Shiro wanted to say something more, the Chat Group suddenly started a live broadcast. He and the other person entered the live broadcast while walking.
Destroyer of Heavens: "Holy... what is going on? A live broadcast in the middle of the night, is a fight about to start?"
