Senzaemon Nakiri, who had just stepped down as Head Chef, was wearing a sports outfit with the characters 'Forge' written on it, and was jogging.
"Huh? Grandpa, are you jogging on the road?"
Erina Nakiri was momentarily stunned when she saw her grandfather.
"Hmm, did you just get back? You two seem to get along very well."
Senzaemon Nakiri laughed heartily, looking at the two people holding hands.
"Hmm...."
Erina Nakiri's face instantly turned red, and she shyly let go of his hand.
She had been worried that her grandfather would be a bit dejected after having his position taken away, but seeing him so energetic now, she felt relieved.
"Oh, Satou, there's something I want to talk to you about."
Senzaemon Nakiri suddenly said.
"Then I'll leave for a bit."
Erina Nakiri hesitated for a moment, but then thought that her grandfather had always doted on Satou, so nothing bad should happen, and walked to a distance.
Although he was already sixty or seventy years old, Senzaemon Nakiri's body was as vibrant as a young person's. He sat on the grass, extended a hand, and said with sparkling eyes, "Satou, let's arm wrestle."
"Arm wrestle?"
Satou was a bit speechless, but still sat down and tried to arm wrestle with him.
His strength was already far beyond that of an ordinary person. He originally wanted to go easy on his 'grandpa' and let him win, but he didn't expect him to give up first.
"What a strong body!"
Senzaemon Nakiri patted Satou's shoulder and laughed heartily, "The children you two have in the future will definitely be very healthy."
Erina Nakiri, who hadn't gone far, vaguely heard this sentence and immediately had a black line on her forehead. She turned her head and called out exasperatedly, "Grandpa, can you stop saying strange things to Satou?"
Senzaemon Nakiri laughed heartily.
"The old man is in good spirits, though," Satou praised, not seeing any dejection.
"I actually don't care much about Nakamura becoming the Head Chef. What truly worries me is that child, Erina."
Senzaemon Nakiri became serious, "You should know what Nakamura did to her, right?"
"Yes."
Satou nodded.
"Although Erina became a smiling child again after meeting you, now, I'm very worried that his shadow will reappear on Erina.
So, I'm entrusting you with this. Please protect Erina."
Saying this, Senzaemon Nakiri bowed deeply.
"Don't worry," Satou nodded, "This is what I should do."
After bidding farewell to Senzaemon Nakiri, Satou found Erina Nakiri nearby.
"Hey...!!! Satou, did Grandpa say anything to you just now?"
Seeing Satou's somewhat serious expression, as if he had encountered some difficulty, Erina Nakiri quickly went up to him, held his hand, and asked with some concern.
"Nothing. Grandpa just told us to have children."
Satou glanced at her and said, "He said we should have at least ten."
"Have... have ten?"
Erina Nakiri's face instantly turned red, and her voice became a stutter, "Wouldn't that be too many?"
"Yes, I'm also troubled by this matter," Satou sighed, "Ten feels like too many."
"It is too many."
Erina Nakiri's face was flushed, and she also felt very troubled. How could they have ten children?
"At most, we can only have five, right?"
She clutched the corner of her clothes, her face red, and whispered.
"If we have them now, we should still make it," Satou thought for a moment and said.
"Ah, really… do we really have to have them now?" Erina Nakiri's beautiful eyes widened. "But we're still students, aren't we?"
Azami Nakiri has appeared before, so he definitely needs to be written about. The chapter won't be too long, it will be finished in about a dozen chapters.
If Azami Nakiri doesn't usurp the Head Chef position, how will Erina become the Head Chef?
As for why Akikubo Momo, Eishi Tsukasa, and the others didn't side with the protagonist, they didn't know the protagonist's stance before, right?
Besides, Akikubo Momo and the protagonist don't have much of a deep relationship, they are just on good terms.
