"Satou, you can't let Erina-chan down, understand?"
Leonora Nakiri patted Satou's shoulder with a hint of anger, admonishing him.
At this moment, she suddenly resembled Alice Nakiri greatly.
Senzaemon Nakiri's brow also slightly furrowed as he looked at the Chihyaku Sisters.
Kikuchi Sonoka, however, had long known the personalities of these two sisters and was already used to it. But Hinako Inui puffed out her cheeks slightly, evidently quite bothered by it.
"Cough cough, they actually want to invite me to be a gourmet consultant."
Satou coughed lightly and said.
Only then did the Chihyaku Sisters notice Senzaemon Nakiri and Leonora Nakiri nearby.
Facing the Far Moon Head Chef, these two fairy-like sisters dared not act up for a moment.
Alice Nakiri looked at the two triumphantly, as if saying, "See if you still dare to be arrogant, hmph!"
"So it's a gourmet consultant? You scared me."
Leonora Nakiri immediately breathed a sigh of relief, patted Satou's shoulder, and said with a smile, "You're a good boy indeed. But, you also need to be careful of those shameless fairies in the future. They're clearly old, but they still pretend to be cute. It's truly disgusting, isn't it?"
Looking at his Mother-in-law, who was clearly making veiled insults, Satou was quite speechless. Did his Mother-in-law also have such a dark side?
This was clearly a roundabout way of scolding the Chihyaku Sisters, wasn't it?
And her smile was so gentle, yet her words were so vicious.
The Chihyaku Sisters were not fools either; they naturally heard that Leonora Nakiri was deliberately scolding them, and they were furious inside.
"Who is it that's clearly old but still pretends to be cute?"
Natsume Chihyaku retorted, unwilling to show weakness.
"Exactly, it's truly annoying."
Chihyaku Orie also nodded.
However, in front of the Far Moon Head Chef, they couldn't say too much.
Karasaki Taki, without a word, looked directly at Hinako Inui.
"Why are you looking at me like that! I'm not pretending to be cute, and I'm still very young!"
Hinako Inui pounded Karasaki Taki with her small fists, protesting cutely.
"Stop saying 'like that'! Isn't this still considered pretending to be cute?"
Karasaki Taki's face darkened, and she began to wildly knead Kikuchi Sonoka's ample bosom.
Kikuchi Sonoka was in tears; she hadn't even said anything, so what did it have to do with her?
"No, Aunt looks only in her early twenties, still very young. Hinako-senpai is also very young."
Satou said with a smile.
"Oh, I'm so happy. Satou is so good with words."
Leonora Nakiri was overjoyed upon hearing this; no woman dislikes being praised for being young and beautiful.
She happily hugged Satou's arm, rubbing her cheek against his shoulder, as joyful as a girl who had just fallen in love.
Looking at his Mother-in-law, who was hugging his arm like a young girl, Satou was quite speechless.
"Go away, go away!"
Alice Nakiri pushed Chihyaku Orie away, then hugged Satou's other arm herself, smiling happily.
"Damn it, that disgusting old woman, clearly old but still pretending to be a young girl, and her daughter too."
Chihyaku Orie gritted her teeth, thinking to herself, clearly very displeased with the mother and daughter.
"Although it's wrong to say this, Leonora Nakiri, the Head Chef, is truly a bit shameless, hugging a young man in public."
At the kitchen entrance, Miyoko Hojo said sourly.
Because Leonora Nakiri was the Head Chef of the International Department, she was also referred to as Head Chef.
"Hmm."
Tadokoro Megumi and Sadatsuka Nao nodded in unison.
The three girls, who had originally been a bit sulky with each other, found common ground for the first time.
"I say, Satou, since the theme is rare ingredients, what dish are you having us taste this time?"
Looking at Satou, who was being hugged by the mother and daughter, Chihyaku Orie asked somewhat sourly.
This was also what the other guests were curious about, after all, they came to eat.
An admission fee of 100,000 was not a small sum. They also wanted to know what kind of rare ingredient could be worth such a price.
And as connoisseurs of the gourmet world, what rare ingredients had they not tasted?
Speaking of this, Satou only then reacted, and quickly broke free from the mother and daughter's hands, saying, "The dish should be ready. Today's theme is steamed fish…"
"Steamed fish?"
Upon hearing today's dish, the guests present couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
Fish suitable for steaming were nothing more than sea bass, catfish, large yellow croaker, etc.
But the prices of these fish were not worth the admission fee at all, let alone considered rare ingredients.
Many people already felt some regret, but out of deference to the Far Moon Head Chef and the graduates, they dared not say anything.
"For this price, I could eat bluefin tuna until I throw up."
Someone whispered.
Satou smiled and said, "Please rest assured, this dish will definitely not disappoint everyone, and this time's ingredient is absolutely something you have never seen before."
"Really?"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's anticipation was rekindled.
They believed that Satou wouldn't lie in front of the Head Chef, but as gourmets who had tasted delicacies from all over the world, what kind of rare ingredient hadn't they eaten?
Satou clapped his hands, and Tadokoro Megumi and the others immediately pushed over a dining cart, on which a huge steamer was placed.
"What kind of fish is this? It needs such a large steamer?"
"Indeed."
Everyone looked on curiously.
Satou walked up and lifted the steamer lid. Instantly, a rich steam, accompanied by a strong fish aroma, swept through the entire restaurant like a whirlwind.
"It smells so good!"
"I feel like my mouth is watering."
Upon smelling this rich aroma, everyone couldn't help but salivate, quietly swallowing their saliva.
When the steam dispersed, everyone finally saw the true appearance of the dish.
It was a catfish they had never seen before, a full three meters long, lying quietly on an equally huge platter.
"What kind of fish is this? Is it a giant catfish?"
"But even giant catfish aren't this big?"
"With such a large body, will the meat be tough?"
All the guests surrounded the fish, discussing animatedly.
Even Senzaemon Nakiri's eyes lit up, clearly very interested, because even he had never seen such a fish.
