It's true that fiction draws from life. Many renowned manga artists and novelists experiment with the events in their stories to deepen their understanding and add realism. Renz could understand why Mashiro Shiina's editor recommended she try a real-life experience to grasp the feeling. However, the problem was that Mashiro Shiina wasn't like most people.
A responsible manga editor recommending this to a normal person would usually expect them to understand the boundaries. But Mashiro Shiina would take it literally. Renz even suspected that the word "Renz-kun" (a familiar and intimate way of addressing someone, here used in place of "brother-in-law") was just a word to Mashiro Shiina, with no deeper understanding of its implications.
Mashiro was undeniably a genius. She was very smart, quick to learn anything, and highly capable of understanding. However, her accumulated daily habits and way of thinking couldn't be remedied overnight.
Just as every country has its own habitual way of thinking, encountering different countries leads to a clash of mindsets. Mashiro Shiina's current situation was that all her talent was poured into her artistic abilities.
Life habits and basic social interaction were long-standing deficiencies for Mashiro Shiina.
Sometimes, if you didn't communicate with Mashiro Shiina, she wouldn't say anything, and at other times, Mashiro Shiina wouldn't sense the atmosphere, easily blurting out whatever she wanted to say, regardless of misunderstandings. Most of the time, Mashiro Shiina operated within her own world, using her own rules to consider problems. The only constant was her physical state. Most of the time, a hungry Mashiro Shiina expressed her needs most directly.
"Editor Iida is at the publishing house. If you want to find her, we can go together when the submission deadline comes," Mashiro Shiina said, not understanding why Renz was suddenly so furious. But... she felt... he was angry for her sake?
"If Mashiro caused trouble, I'm sorry," Mashiro Shiina tried to practice "comforting." Her editor not only recommended she experience things firsthand but also suggested she read more manga of similar genres. Many heroines would comfort the male lead when he was furious or disheartened. She wasn't sure how to comfort Renz, but this was probably the right thing to do, right?
"You didn't do anything wrong; you don't need to comfort me," Renz said, annoyed. Mashiro Shiina's demeanor made it impossible for him to stay angry.
The keyhole of the apartment door suddenly rattled. Click — the sound of the lock turning. Renz looked over.
Who had the third key to the house? It was self-evident. Besides the spare key Renz gave to Mashiro, and the one he had himself, the other key was in Erina's hand. But wait, wasn't Erina supposed to come only on the weekend? Why was she here today?
The door opened. Erina was in the entryway, about to take off her coat. Renz walked over, took her coat, and hung it on the coat rack in the entrance.
"Welcome home," Renz said casually. "Why, Erina, you're here today?"
"Ah, my grandfather asked me to contact you," Erina said, warming up to the news she had to deliver.
"The old man agreed?" Renz's spirits lifted at her words. Family approval and disapproval were two different things. If the family approved, then Erina and he could legally live together! Although they had already registered their marriage and could legally cohabit, Erina had told him that the guardian's consent signature was fraudulently obtained. If the old man went to the ward office and had a serious talk, it would be easy to invalidate the marriage certificate.
"No," Erina shook her head. "It's just an event that requires your participation." Erina added, "It's the quarterly exchange student conference, where chefs from abroad return to Totsuki Academy to exchange half a month of learning experiences."
"My grandfather heard about you from Hisako."
"He thinks highly of you and asked if I could invite you to join Totsuki Academy."
"Renz, do you understand what I mean?" A knowing look flashed in Erina's beautiful eyes. "My grandfather isn't that stubborn."
"Hold on, that idiom is too harsh on the old man!" Renz couldn't help but interject. "You're completely putting him on the opposite side!"
"Slip of the tongue, I spoke too quickly," Erina said, sticking out her tongue. "It's just that, as long as you prove your worth, my grandfather won't reject our marriage."
"And if you, you rascal, perform even better, I'll be even more satisfied," Erina continued.
"Perform better?" Renz asked, surprised.
"Yes, Alice is also coming to the exchange student conference this time. Shouldn't you give her a grand welcome gift?" Erina said with a smile.
"You're addicted to tormenting Alice, aren't you?" Renz rolled his eyes. "But speaking of which, I'm not from Totsuki Academy, can I still participate in the exchange student conference?"
"Why not? Totsuki Academy isn't a feudal institution. As long as a chef has high skill, young chefs from outside are invited to participate in exchanges and studies," Erina explained. "Also, I'm not tormenting Alice; it's just that my life has been so fulfilling recently, and such wonderful emotions should be shared!" Erina said with a smile.
Your joy is practically radiating from your face! Not just radiating, but overflowing! Is it really worth it for 'revenge' for snatching dolls from each other when you were kids?
They're clearly a pair of sisters who will deeply care for each other in the future! Renz could tell that these two sisters, while seemingly at odds on the surface, secretly cared for each other. Yet, in verbal sparring, they wouldn't yield an inch, both wanting to prove their cooking was better and their choices were right.
Ah, the world of tsunderes is truly too difficult to understand.
"Renz?" Mashiro Shiina tilted her head. She had brewed a pot of tea from the kitchen and placed it on the living room table. This was Renz's teaching on hospitality during this time. If a guest visited, one should serve them tea and water.
"Hmm?" Erina's gaze was quickly drawn to Mashiro's actions. She watched her place a pot of tea on the table and then quietly sit back in the living room to watch TV. A very strange feeling suddenly came over her. Then, she refocused her gaze on Renz.
"Renz! I'm hungry, hungry! Cook for me!" Mashiro Shiina said, waving her hands while watching TV.
?!
Erina's eyes immediately changed. Renz wanted to cry but had no tears. His inner self once again slumped in despair. Although he didn't detect anything wrong, it seemed Mashiro Shiina had done something quite remarkable, causing black aura to emanate from Comrade Erina's head.
What's going on? What emotional turmoil is happening now?
