I found a life simulator.

"Yes, please keep this a secret for us, Mashiro," Su Ze said, bowing.

“Okay.” Mashiro nodded, then walked towards her bedroom alone. She had an idea for her food-themed manga and wanted to start creating it in her room.

Shiina Mashiro returned to her room without saying a word.

After spending the past few days together, Su Ze had more or less guessed what Shiina Mashiro was thinking. It wasn't that Shiina Mashiro had any ill intentions; she simply didn't know how to end the conversation and then go about her own business.

Therefore, Shiina Mashiro seems somewhat cold and unapproachable.

Su Ze looked up at the time.

It's almost time to go to bed.

Back in my bedroom, I planned to scroll through my phone for a while before going to bed.

Lying in bed, I suddenly noticed on LINE that someone had requested to be my friend ten minutes earlier.

The verification message was: 'I'm very interested in your cooking. I'm Azami Nakamura. Would you like to chat?'

What the hell?

Who is Nakamura Azami?

No impression.

Seeing that this format seemed like a scam, I declined.

How did this person get their own LINE account? That's strange.

Su Ze was still very wary. The current Su Ze was not the future Su Ze. He had almost no connections in Tokyo. He would definitely refuse a friend request from an unknown person just to be on the safe side.

Besides, if people are interested in my cooking, they can come to the restaurant for a bowl of noodles, which will boost my sales. What's the point of saying that on LINE?

Three minutes after refusing to click.

Su Ze suddenly remembered something.

It seems that my father-in-law also married into the Nakiri family, and his name before marriage was Nakamura Azami. But it's been so long that my memory is fragmented and I can't remember clearly. I didn't think of him at first glance. Could it be such a coincidence?

What does it mean that his father-in-law would add him as a friend on LINE for no reason?

whatever.

Before he had even become Erina's husband, the man who added him as a friend must have ulterior motives. If he failed to add him the first time, he would definitely try again. If he failed again, he might just come to him offline. Su Ze wasn't in a hurry; he would test the waters with him first.

It's no problem to leave your father-in-law hanging.

And the other end.

Inside the detached villa, Azami Nakiri frowned.

The other person's LINE account was obtained from a friend he knew through the "God Tongue Judges" program. He got the personal information by leveraging his connections.

However, what Nakiri Azami least expected was that she would be rejected.

He specifically mentioned the name he uses in the North American culinary world, and anyone in the culinary world who is familiar with famous chefs from various regions should recognize this name.

After all, the name Azami Nakiri had disappeared from the Japanese culinary world for more than a decade due to the intentional or unintentional actions of his father-in-law, the supreme commander 'Senzaemon Nakiri'.

Knowing that the other party might not recognize this name, I used the name Nakamura Azami. I never expected it to turn out like this.

perhaps.

The other party is just a simple cooking enthusiast and has not been involved in the culinary world for long, so they don't know many well-known people in the culinary world.

Think about it too.

This ridiculous person who makes such simple dishes probably doesn't know what the pinnacle of the culinary world looks like.

No wonder it's like this, with absolutely no sense of aesthetics.

Azami Nakiri didn't try to contact the other person again on LINE; there was no need. He had already shown great courtesy by proactively adding the other person as a friend.

Given how uncooperative the other party was, if it weren't for needing him as a stepping stone, Nakiri Azami wouldn't have bothered negotiating again.

I'll go check out his restaurant tomorrow.

Simply use your lofty culinary philosophy and your renowned status in the culinary world to win him over wholeheartedly.

Chapter 33 Where are they? Where is the restaurant owner?

Monday.

Inside the Student Union.

Su Ze lay on the sofa in the student council room.

"As a member of the student council, slacking off is not a good thing." Kaguya Shinomiya said with a cold smile as she processed the documents in her hands.

Su Ze rolled over.

After a lifetime of hard work, we've finally reached an age where we don't need to work anymore, and now we can't even be lazy?

“This is not laziness,” Su Zeyi said righteously. “First of all, the work of the student council is unpaid. Unpaid work is simply free labor, and this kind of thing depends on people’s will.”

"I deserve praise for doing things, but I shouldn't be criticized even if I don't do anything."

“That’s sophistry,” Kaguya Shinomiya said seriously. “When you join the student council, take on the name of a student council member, and enjoy the benefits of the student council, you must bear the corresponding responsibilities.”

"Shinomiya-kun, to be honest, the student council doesn't really offer any perks, does it?" Shirogane Miyuki said after a moment's thought. "An extra title in front of other students?"

Kaguya Shinomiya was rebuffed and was about to retort when she realized that Miyuki Shirogane had already changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, I've taken care of the number of people in the cooking club," Shirogane Miyuki said, turning his head. "I've managed to gather five people for you, Suze."

Because of the family's financial difficulties.

Miyuki Shirogane rarely goes out to eat; he usually buys ingredients at the supermarket and cooks for himself.

To learn how to cook, Miyuki Shirogane frequently watches food magazines and TV programs.

The judge of the tongue of God.

I watched this episode as well, and I have to say, as a man who has the script in his hands, I felt like I was being executed while watching this episode.

He was the only one who knew that Erina Nakiri and Suze were a couple.

This information gap is quite important.

While everyone thought Su Ze was confessing his love and showing affection to his 'girlfriend' who hadn't appeared yet, who would have thought that the real person was right next to Su Ze?

Throughout the entire performance, Su Ze was intentionally or unintentionally praising Erina Nakiri. Didn't you see the way Erina Nakiri looked at Su Ze out of the corner of your eye on the camera?

Everyone assumed that this look was simply God's Tongue's appreciation.

It was Erina Nakiri who admired Suze.

However, Shirogane Miyuki knew about the relationship between the two, and he felt that the look in his eyes was not admiration at all, but rather undisguised affection.

Having a God's-eye view has its advantages.

It also has its downsides.

That day, he was sitting in front of the TV and was very hungry, but the rice in his bowl didn't taste sweet at all.

but.

Shirogane Miyuki also felt quite sympathetic towards Suze's situation.

Yes.

The difference in status is too great.

In Japan's rigid social hierarchy, if a commoner wants to date a heiress from a wealthy family, firstly, they will encounter resistance from her family; secondly, even if they want to marry into her family, their abilities will be a factor.

Those who lack ability are not even qualified to marry into the family.

Their relationship must not be exposed. If it is, Su Ze will face unprecedented pressure and a test from the Nakiri family.

Without sufficient strength, even marrying into a family might be extremely difficult.

Fortunately, I heard that the patriarch of the Nakiri family is quite open-minded. If Su Ze is indeed skilled in cooking, it shouldn't be difficult for him to marry into the Nakiri family.

However, relying solely on the positive reviews from God's Tongue is probably not enough to meet the standard.

They wanted to win the old man's favor.

We should at least try to get a good ranking in the World Culinary Invitational before we talk about it, right?

Putting aside invitational tournaments, in the ranking of renowned chefs based on a points system, to marry into the Nakiri family, one would have to be at least in the top ten in the world.

However, the only way to earn points in the ranking of famous chefs is to participate in competitions at various levels and achieve good rankings.

One of the more famous ones is The Blue Global Culinary Competition, which is a world culinary invitational tournament that invites the world's top chefs to participate in a world championship.

Achieving good results there can almost become a trendsetter for the outside world.

Based on the points system, winning first place in The Blue Global Cooking Competition would earn you approximately 1000 world ranking points.

The world's number one ranked chef with 1139 points seems to be named Saiba Joichiro, but due to a long period without any competition records, he has been deducting 50 points every month.

The second-place score is very close to that of Saiba Joichiro, who doesn't participate in cooking competitions much anymore.

But just thinking about it is difficult.

Even with the praise of the God Tongue, the competition is not so easy to handle. The competition tests not only the level of a single dish, but also almost every aspect.

It places high demands on the chef's various skills and proficiency.

It's not as simple as just making a bowl of ramen and expecting it to win over everyone.

Su Ze has to find a way to beat chefs from all over the world in order to have a chance to marry Erina Nakiri, and that's just the standard for marrying into the family.

I'll help as much as I can.

Shirogane Miyuki sighed inwardly.

"Have you found all five people?" Su Ze hadn't expected that Shirogane Miyuki had really gone to great lengths to help him assemble a cooking team.

"Well, there's Shiraki Meiko, the vice president of the disciplinary committee next door, Fujiwara Chika, our student council secretary, Natsukawa Masuzu, a first-year student, and me. That makes five people." Shirogane Miyuki scratched his head, saying that it wasn't really much of a help.

He prioritized contacting people in the student council.

Kaguya Shinomiya is in the archery club and has no intention of transferring.

forget about it.

Fujiwara Chika said she didn't mind just being a figurehead, as long as she could play cards and eat delicious food in the cooking club, she would definitely accept it.

Meiko Shiraki was also found through the student council, but... she seems to be genuinely skilled in cooking and a true enthusiast.

The summer river is so cool.

It was picked up from the roadside.

They came over to ask me on their own initiative.

"Wait a minute, why are they all women?" Su Ze was really having a headache. Shirogane Yuuki had helped him, but as soon as Su Ze heard the name, he knew something was wrong.

"This used to be an all-girls school, right? There are no boys left besides girls. Are they still being executed?" The people Shirogane Miyuki was referring to were the perverted group who were caught red-handed spying.

The boys in the perverted group are still being punished.

It's normal that girls are more interested in the culinary department.

Why is the other party so sensitive?

Su Ze knew that what Shirogane Miyuki said made a lot of sense, but the problem was that the [Life Simulator] was a tricky game, and it wasn't very reasonable.

It's just a tool.

Therefore, people's feelings are not taken into consideration.

If you force it, Su Ze will crack.

At that point, I'll have to pretend to be dead in the cooking department.

The school bell rang in the school corridor, signaling the end of class.

Shirogane Miyuki glanced back at the clock hanging on the wall.

"It's time, I have to go to work. Goodbye." Shirogane Miyuki tidied up his things on the table and got up to leave the student council office.

Su Ze checked the time.

Startled slightly.

Oh wow.
