I flatly refused Ms. Katsuragi's request.

I, Shinji Ikari, am a Master.

Sorry I didn't post a description earlier.

Let me add this information for everyone.

I love you, Erina, in the finale.

How terrifying is someone with culinary skills that transcend their time?

No one knows.

But the fighting power unleashed by a person with unwavering determination is something that ordinary people cannot withstand.

The show "Midnight Chef" ended with Su Ze's overwhelming victory. He didn't hold back, but showed his best, his most powerful dishes, and his most comprehensive abilities.

Such a performance would be difficult even for a master chef to match, simply because the intensity is too high.

Who is Su Ze?

The future culinary master, someone who can spend his entire life with God's Tongue, possesses a knowledge base that is beyond the reach of ordinary people. When he gets serious, let alone his original physical attributes, his sheer breadth of knowledge alone is enough to leave everyone else utterly in the dust.

Midnight Chef.

Su Ze won the championship with his strongest performance. On the day he won the championship, he directly announced that he and Erina Nakiri were going to get married.

They are not afraid of the uproar from the outside world at all.

He wanted to stand up and express his feelings without reservation, and Su Ze's statement at the Midnight Chef championship ceremony really caught Nakiri Senzaemon off guard.

We just talked about how terrifying the God Tongue is, how it can destroy any talented chef, and that if you want to get close to the God Tongue, you should be prepared to be devoured by it.

Su Ze dared to announce his marriage to Erina at the Midnight Chef championship ceremony, in front of all the cameras and the audience, leaving himself no way out.

Salaries are drawn from the bottom of the pot.

The most ruthless thing was not Su Ze's confession at the Midnight Chef Championship ceremony, but that Erina Nakiri responded publicly and accepted the confession.

This declaration.

It caused a sensation in the entire Japanese media.

The information is overwhelming, the news is astonishing, and most people would find it difficult to process such shocking information.

what's the situation?

Su Ze, the champion of Midnight Chef, confessed his feelings to Erina Nakiri, the God Tongue? And they're even getting married? Aren't they still deeply in love?

Are you getting married so soon while you're still deeply in love?

Then this progress bar is even more outrageous!

The news came so fast that it caught everyone off guard.

However, everyone still faced the wedding with blessings, and Su Ze also went to Nakiri Senzaemon to confront him and be honest.

That's right.

He laid bare his situation with Erina and revealed his plan, which was to marry Erina Nakiri.

To this end, Su Ze borrowed a large sum of money from Nakiri Senzaemon to fund the wedding, and Su Ze earnestly promised to pay off the debt completely within three years of the marriage, and he was willing to write an IOU.

What else could Senzaemon Nakiri say?

He couldn't tell.

Su Ze is alone, and Nakiri Senzaemon still has room to refuse. I won't let my granddaughter marry you, so what can you do about it?

Who would have thought that Erina Nakiri would betray him at the last minute, secretly betraying Senzaemon Nakiri and saying that she would marry no one but him.

Erina Nakiri's "coup" was so forceful, with a knife practically at Senzaemon Nakiri's neck, that she was ready to elope if he didn't agree.

Senzaemon Nakiri could only agree to the marriage with a wry smile.

But what will happen after marriage?

I should definitely check out Senzaemon Nakiri.

Let's wish the two of them well for now. After all, they've really gone too far with their marriage and are completely disregarding what others think.

No matter how much he said, it was no use.

All we can do is hope that the two of them won't regret their rash actions today.

......

The wedding day.

Hisako, do you think I look good today?

"Eh!!! Erina-sama is so beautiful! She's always been beautiful, but today... how should I put it... I feel like Erina-sama, you're even more beautiful, like an angel."

Inside the auditorium, Hisako Shinto stared blankly at the pure white-clad girl before her... No, perhaps after today, she shouldn't be called a girl anymore, but a true woman.

To become a married woman in name only!

At this moment, Erina Nakiri was wearing a luxury wedding dress specially designed by Italy's top designers. The pure white long dress perfectly hugged her figure, making her look like a fairy who had descended to earth.

Su Ze borrowed a large sum of money from Senzaemon Nakiri, but instead of spending it on how to make money from money, he spent it all on the wedding.

After going through several trials, Su Ze realized that money is something that can be easily earned as long as you have the ability and fame.

But a wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for everyone.

So Su Ze must seize this opportunity.

At this moment, Erina Nakiri's pretty face was adorned with light makeup. The makeup was not heavy; the makeup artist had only applied a few subtle touches, without doing anything superfluous, just adding a few embellishments to make the already stunning Erina Nakiri even more beautiful and unattainable.

The fundamentals are there.

Beautiful people are beautiful no matter how you look at them.

Without a doubt, Erina Nakiri was the most beautiful and the most eye-catching person present today.

Even so, Erina Nakiri was not at peace; on the contrary, she felt very uneasy and anxious.

Even though she had lived with Su Ze for many years.

But this was truly her first time getting married, because every time she got married, time seemed to jump around, and Erina was afraid that time would jump around again this time.

This caused Erina Nakiri to have a lot of mixed thoughts in her mind. She took a deep breath and cleared her mind of all the distractions.

After all, this kind of emotion shouldn't have been on her mind, but today was the most important day of her life as a woman, and she was worried that she wasn't good enough, not good enough... to satisfy that guy.

Women dress up for those who appreciate them; this is the essence of it.

Erina Nakiri looked at herself in the mirror, pursed her lips, and the person in the mirror no longer had her usual haughtiness and arrogance. Instead, she was full of shyness and gentleness.

She was changed by that person, but she didn't hate the change.

"Erina."

Just then, a voice came from the direction of the door.

Erina Nakiri trembled slightly; even without turning around, she knew who had come.

"Su Ze, what brings you here?" The secretary was a little confused when she saw Su Ze suddenly walk in. "According to the wedding ceremony, you shouldn't be meeting with Lady Erina right now."

"If you don't say anything, no one will know I'm here, right?" Su Ze coughed at Hisako Shinto, then looked at Erina Nakiri with a smile.

"Hmm..." When her eyes met Su Ze's, Erina Nakiri felt her heart pounding and her cheeks seemed to be getting warmer.

The wedding ceremony I've been looking forward to is finally here.

I haven't been this nervous in a very, very long time.

So, the first thing he did after returning to the past was to want to marry me?

Well.

Prove it through practice?

Erina Nakiri was still very happy with this answer.

By the way, this guy... he looks so handsome today... although he's usually not bad-looking either. Is it because it's his wedding day, so he's getting an extra layer of filter from the bride?

Like Erina Nakiri, Su Ze was also dressed as a groom, his sharp black suit making him look handsome and dashing.

Hisako Nii sighed and walked past Su Ze helplessly. It seemed that she had no choice but to go out and guard the door to prevent them from being disturbed.

'pe'.

The sound of the door closing softly was so crisp and pleasant in the quiet space. As Erina Nakiri watched Su Ze walk towards her with a smile on his lips, she suddenly felt inexplicably nervous. Her fingers unconsciously gripped the hem of her wedding dress, and her face turned red.

"You big tsundere, why do you seem like a completely different person today? This isn't like you at all." Standing in front of Erina Nakiri, looking at his little wife's shy expression, Su Ze smiled.

No matter what, Erina Nakiri's aura has never been disturbed in the slightest. This time, it can be said that Erina Nakiri showed some weakness for the first time.

"Mind your own business!" Erina Nakiri slapped Su Ze's hand away like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her face turning even redder.

"Are you nervous?" Su Ze laughed. He had already guessed that Erina Nakiri would panic when it came time to get married, even though Erina had always longed for this.

However, don't forget that the more you crave something, the more easily your mind becomes confused.

Remembering how arrogant Da Jiao usually acted, but now looked like a toothless kitten, Su Ze's smile never stopped.

However, that's part of what makes her so adorable.

"I...I wasn't nervous at all," Erina Nakiri said, biting her lip and sounding a little guilty.

"Hehe... there's nothing to be nervous about, Erina." Su Ze smiled slightly, gently took Erina Nakiri's hand, then bent down, looked into her eyes, and spoke gently.

"Well, I don't know how many times this has happened, but this should be the third time. From today onwards, we will officially become husband and wife again. From today onwards, I will once again entrust half of my life to you, so please give me half of your life as well. This is something we decided a long time ago, isn't it?"

Su Ze has never regretted his choice, even though he has been committed to the company for life.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Ze leaned forward and placed a kiss on Erina Nakiri's forehead.

"So, there's nothing to be nervous about, Erina. Follow me all the way, whether it's in life or on this road to the temple, my hand will never let go."

"....Um."

Listening to Su Ze's touching words, Erina Nakiri's heart had already melted into a pool of spring water, and her heart was gradually filled with happiness.

............

After a while, the wedding officially began. Amid cheers and blessings from the crowd, Su Ze, holding confetti, stood beside the priest, smiling as he looked at the other side of the red carpet—his pure white bride.

Erina Nakiri was also looking at him. Their eyes met, and it was as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them, and the surrounding sounds had no effect on them.

Seeing his granddaughter gazing lovingly at that brat, old man Senzaemon Nakiri felt a pang of unease.

After all, he watched Erina grow up, and now he's handing her over to another man... Sigh, what can you do when your granddaughter has grown up?

Amidst blessings, the old man accompanied Erina Nakiri across the red carpet that represented her past life, and they arrived before Su Ze.

"You brat, if I find out you've bullied Erina, you'll regret it..."

"Oh, Grandpa, please don't say things like that at a time like this. I've said it several times before, don't ruin the atmosphere of my wedding!"

Before the old man could finish his threatening words, he was interrupted by his adorable granddaughter in a somewhat impatient tone.

In an instant, the old man felt a chill run down his spine.

Is she really a granddaughter who's married off, like water spilled from a bowl?

She's not even officially married yet, and she's already siding with outsiders...

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I will definitely treat Erina well and won't let her suffer any grievances." Su Ze looked at Nakiri Senzaemon with a serious expression and his tone was extremely solemn, which made the old man feel a little better.

Then, with some reluctance, Senzaemon Nakiri handed Erina Nakiri's hand to Suze, thus completing his mission.

"...Erina Nakiri, do you take this man to be your husband, to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love and care for him, to cherish him, to accept him, and to remain faithful to him until the end of your days, in sickness and in health, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, for all the more?"

"I am willing."

As the priest prayed, Suze and Erina Nakiri gazed at each other, their hearts filled with a gentle warmth.

Erina Nakiri glanced subconsciously in a certain direction below the stage, where Managi Nakiri and Alice Nakiri were also watching her.

Alice's face was full of envy, while Nakiri Managi remained calm and indifferent, as if the one who was getting married was not her own daughter at all.

Erina Nakiri ignored her already awkward relationship with her mother. She nodded slightly to Alice, and suddenly felt a slight pain in her finger.

"Idiot~ It's this late, and you're still daydreaming." Su Ze's soft voice reached her ears, and Erina Nakiri looked at the ring on her finger, momentarily lost in thought.

Did she... finally marry this guy?
