I found a life simulator.

"Hisako, are there no extra seats?" Erina Nakiri pondered. There were only four seats for the judges, and it felt a little strange to have Su Ze standing next to her.

Hisako Shinto coughed up a mouthful of blood.

I thought I could come over and catch up, but thirty minutes is a long time to prepare a dish. Hisako Shinto is prepared to stand by Erina's side for a long time.

But who would have thought.

The first thing Erina Nakiri said when she came over was to find Su Ze a seat.

I'm not angry.

Not angry at all.

I wouldn't be sour about him.

"These are the judges' seats, there aren't any extra seats," Hisako Shinoto said with a forced smile.

"It's alright, honey, you can sit here. I'll be fine standing. Anyway, I'm going back to the stands to take care of the kids later," Su Ze said, waving his hand.

Su Ze didn't want to bother Erina Nakiri by finding him a seat and making a big fuss.

"Hisako, may the judges leave their seats?" Erina Nakiri said, squinting her eyes. "I want to see the skills of these audition contestants."

“Of course,” Hisako Shinoto said without much thought.

Erina Nakiri stood up, glanced at Su Ze, and said, "Ze, come with me and take a look."

Don't overthink it.

She genuinely wanted to see how skilled these chefs would be ten years from now, and also, Erina Nakiri had something she wanted to say to Suze.

"Hisako, you can go and oversee the discipline in the exam hall," Erina Nakiri said, turning to Hisako Shinoto.

Say this.

Hisako Shinoto felt like her world was about to collapse.

Erina-sama...disliked me again?!

I really am a terrible talker; I easily angered the young lady.

Hisako Niito thought to herself, tears streaming down her face.

Seemingly sensing Hisako Shinoto's emotions, Erina Nakiri quickly added, "It's just that there are some personal matters that are a bit inconvenient to discuss with Azawa as we walk."

Su Ze's face darkened.

My dear, I haven't mistaken you for someone else. You are still you. If I were a straight man, you would be a crystal-clear straight woman.

Your words did nothing to comfort me at all.

With your emotional intelligence...

I, Su Ze, can easily defeat them all with one hand.

I had to step in to save the day.

Humph.

"It's not about any personal matters. My child has some learning problems, and I discussed it with the teacher yesterday. They hope I can talk to Erina about it."

"Hisako, as the examiner, you should focus on your work first. Erina and I can handle these matters."

This girl is clearly jealous of Erina.

The general feeling is that she doesn't share or complain about her private matters because she subconsciously feels that her best friend is looking down on her.

At this point, simply finding a private matter that's easy to discuss, or telling a white lie to reassure them, will be enough to comfort them.

On saving the day, on controlling the situation.

You still have to look to me.

However, Su Ze realized the seriousness of the problem the next second: Hisako Shinto's complexion was getting worse and worse.

Hisako Shinoto's mentality hadn't completely collapsed yet.

However, when Su Ze blurted out the word 'child,' Hisako Shinto knew she had lost, and a critical hit of '-9999' appeared above her head.

Or is it real harm?

Yes.

Miss Erina is already a mother of two.

What right do I have to pry into their affairs?

Oops.

Su Ze felt that his approach to comforting others was completely wrong, and not only wrong, but he was going further and further down the wrong path.

"Hisako, don't overthink it. You and I are best friends." Erina Nakiri took a deep breath. "We've known each other for longer than we've known Azawa!"

The words fell.

Hisako Shirato has finally cheered up a bit.

“Yes, that’s right!” Hisako Shinoto turned her gaze to the examination room. “Speaking of which, as an examiner, I really shouldn’t be slacking off here!”

Erina Nakiri and Suze both breathed a sigh of relief.

troublesome.

We've finally managed to get through this!

Erina and Suze walked one after the other at the edge of the examination room. Erina kept glancing at the actions of the other contestants. The two remained silent for a while.

After a long time.

“Su Ze, if you ever feel wronged again, don’t hold it in. Slap him across the face. If that doesn’t work, just tell me directly,” Erina Nakiri said sternly, still bothered by what happened in the entrance passage.

Su Ze seemed to have been wronged there.

This is the thing I've been wanting to discuss.

It's not that Erina Nakiri is domineering or anything.

Rather, it was because Erina Nakiri couldn't tolerate anyone pointing fingers at the Nakiri family.

"Remember, you are a member of the Nakiri family."

"I'm the only one who can boss you around."

“If you encounter any trouble or hostility, I, Erina Nakiri, will protect you on behalf of the Nakiri family.”

"You are not allowed to embarrass me."

"Do you understand?"

......

Chapter 39 Erina's Zero Pass

"That sounds strange," Su Ze said, puzzled.

"Are you confessing your love to me?" Su Ze said with a smirk. He still remembered the grudge from last time, and now that he had a chance to get revenge, he didn't let it slip by.

"What are you saying!?!" Erina Nakiri's voice involuntarily rose a little, as if she noticed the gazes of others suddenly drifting over.

Erina Nakiri lowered her voice again.

"But... but our relationship is one of mutual benefit and mutual loss. If you lose face, I lose face, understand? Don't overthink it!" Erina Nakiri said, her face slightly flushed.

No, I don't like her! I don't like her at all! I just don't want to hear people say things like Erina Nakiri abuses her husband every day, that's all!

However, within just one week...

We've held hands and hugged.

Erina Nakiri discovered that her resistance to Suze was not so strong that they couldn't live together. On the contrary, she gradually began to adapt to this kind of life.

It seems like this kind of life isn't so bad?

“Okay, I understand,” Su Ze nodded.

This is the real Erina Nakiri!

"Don't misunderstand, I just don't want to embarrass myself," Erina Nakiri emphasized again. "After all, you are also Arisawa and Rina's father."

Su Ze thought to himself, "As expected, as a young lady from a wealthy family, she still values ​​face very much."

With Erina Nakiri's protection...

It does seem like I'm secretly enjoying it.

Is this what it feels like to be pampered?

bah bah bah!

This kind of complacent, corrupt mentality must be eradicated! How could I, Su Ze, achieve victory by lying behind a woman? Winning by doing nothing is unacceptable.

Relying on your child to achieve success is even more unacceptable!

“I understand! No one understands your thoughts better than me.” Su Ze gave an 'OK' sign.

To maintain the facade of a loving couple, Erina Nakiri does indeed need to put in more effort. She is willing to give Su Ze a high status, so in other people's eyes, they are already a model couple.

"Let's go back," Erina Nakiri said, crossing her arms. She had already discussed and explained the few extra details she had discovered today with Su Ze, and now it was time to return to her seat as a judge and give her comments.

"Then I'll go to the stands to take care of the children?" Su Ze asked.

There's not much point in him staying here.

He won't comment on the dishes, and there's no seating available, which will only make Erina Nakiri feel awkward. Plus, with the two of them appearing on screen together, there will inevitably be a lot more unnecessary interactions.

The more you act, the greater the probability of being exposed.

Now that I can fool people, I don't need to do anything meaningless anymore.

Erina Nakiri nodded.

Su Ze quietly left the competition venue and headed towards the luxurious audience seats on the stage. Meanwhile, Arize and Rina were being taken care of by Nakiri Alice.

Alice Nakiri is the examiner for the second round of the competition.

That is, tomorrow's examiner.

She had nothing to do today, so she helped take care of the children.

Rina and Alice Nakiri were having a great time playing in their seats when they saw Su Ze coming up, and Rina kept waving her hand.

However, seeing Rina being held by Nakiri Alice, Suze reached out and picked up Nakiri Yuzawa, who looked rather lonely sitting to the side.

"Isn't Daddy with Mommy?" Nakiri Arisawa asked in a somewhat old-fashioned tone.

Compared to Rina, who has no respect for elders.

The little boy, who was a year younger than Rina, was more mature.

“Mom is busy with work. If Dad and I go over there, it will only cause trouble. We shouldn’t cause trouble for others,” Su Ze said softly.

The conversation is still ongoing.

The large screen in the center of the venue, which was reporting the overall situation to all the audience members, lit up.

Some of the contestants in the preliminary rounds had already prepared their dishes and submitted them ahead of time, while that contestant picked up his dish and ran towards Erina Nakiri.

Achieving a good ranking in competitions is one way to gain prestige in the culinary world.

Even if the evaluation from God Tongue is relatively mediocre, it is still a boost to fame, especially since this is Erina Nakiri's comeback.

Having Erina Nakiri evaluate the dishes is an opportunity to maximize traffic.

In front of Erina Nakiri's seat was an exquisitely designed and expensive antique wooden table. When she brought out her dishes, she gave a confident smile.

Erina Nakiri picked up her chopsticks.

He lightly dipped his finger in the water, put it in his mouth, frowned slightly, shook his head, and said, "No, next one."

A ruthless critique, too lazy to even use any extra words.

"Um, Ms. Erina, could you explain in detail the flaws in my dish?" This contestant seemed a little unconvinced.

"There are too many flaws to list." Erina Nakiri put down her chopsticks. Her God Tongue could amplify the flavor of the entire dish, so if the dish was not cooked well, those flaws would gradually be magnified in Erina's mouth.

What might be considered delicious by the average person.

In the tongue of God, once a flaw is tasted, it not only becomes tasteless but can even become so unpalatable that it is difficult to swallow.
