I found a life simulator.

"I didn't mean to!!!"

Chapter 54: Could we urge my father-in-law to hurry up and get things done?

Ogata Riju lowered her head slightly, resting her hands on her hands, and apologized very sincerely.

“I never thought it had this other meaning,” Riju Ogata said.

The scene suddenly became awkward.

The misunderstanding was resolved, but no follow-up topics were discussed.

First, Rizu Ogata didn't know how to change the subject or move on from it; second, Rizu Ogata wasn't very good at finding topics to talk about.

The person who broke the deadlock was none other than Shiina Mashiro, who had been silent the whole time, glancing back and forth between everyone's faces.

"Are you hungry?" Shiina Mashiro pointed to the food on the table that was still mostly uneaten.

Rizu Ogata has excellent observation skills. When she sat down, she saw the food on the table. However, she was not an invited guest. If you had to say, she would be the kind of 'unwelcome guest'.

Arriving at the most unpleasant time and saying something unpleasant—even if she were slow-witted, Rizu Ogata would know that if she did something impolite, it would lower her impression score.

I've got the autograph.

There's no need to do anything unnecessary. Fortunately, someone was willing to give her a way out, otherwise it would have been incredibly awkward.

“I already ate before I came here,” Ogata Rizu waved her hand in refusal, and this made her pay more attention to the dishes on the table.

"Did Su Ze make this?" Ogata Riju asked, admitting that she couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

Although her father taught her how to make udon noodles, Ogata Rizu never grasped the true essence of cooking. She simply followed the steps and completed the dishes like an experiment. Upon close inspection, they were almost identical in appearance. Her father had eaten them a few times, but he always said that she hadn't mastered the technique.

With the naked eye, Rizu Ogata couldn't tell whether Suze's cooking was good or not.

Rizu Ogata has absolutely no talent in this area.

However, judging from the reviews on food shows, Su Ze is very skilled at making ramen, so his other dishes are probably not much worse, right?

Always troubled by her inability to make friends at school, Rizu Ogata even researched dating strategies online.

At this moment.

Speaking in a praising tone is definitely not wrong.

"Su Ze's cooking skills seem excellent; he'll definitely become a wonderful stay-at-home husband in the future," Ogata Riju commented in a mechanical voice.

This was Rizu Ogata's first attempt at using the "praise" communication method, which she had never formally employed before.

“With my careful guidance, how could Aze’s skills be bad?” Erina Nakiri felt quite pleased to hear Riju Ogata’s praise.

Praising Su Ze is equivalent to praising her.

The girl with glasses in front of me has great taste.

And I wasn't wrong, Su Ze did become a wonderful family man.

At this time.

Rizu Ogata's cell phone rang.

"I'm so sorry, my father called. He must be worried about me because I haven't been home for so long." Ogata Rizu hung up the phone without any hesitation.

I'll just send him a message later.

I called her anxiously within just a few minutes.

She's not a little kid who would get lost.

"Take care. But, Ogata-kun, please keep it a secret that Erina Nakiri is my girlfriend." Su Ze bowed and said, "We will make our relationship public at the appropriate time."

Erina Nakiri is a public figure.

If she has a boyfriend, it will be easy for the public to know about it. If Erina Nakiri's boyfriend is not well-known, not only will Erina Nakiri be subjected to cyberbullying, but Su Ze will also be boycotted.

However, Su Ze and Erina Nakiri didn't seem to care about that.

Becoming a public figure means that whatever you do will attract the dissatisfaction of some people. These people are simply dissatisfied for the sake of being dissatisfied; if you raise your left hand, they will insist on raising their right.

Opposing for the sake of opposing is what is commonly known as being a "keyboard warrior" or a "nitpicker."

When Su Ze encounters these kinds of people, he usually shows off his happy and fulfilling life. The better he lives, the more jealous and angry these people who are typing on their keyboards behind his back become.

Moreover, Su Ze is a seasoned veteran at handling pressure.

I really don't care.

The only concern is that if the whole internet finds out about Su Ze and Erina Nakiri's relationship, and the old man finds out too, he might think Su Ze is not good enough and be unwilling to hand Erina Nakiri over to him.

But that's not the most uncomfortable thing.

What's most unsettling is that the old man agreed to the marriage, but only under strong pressure from Erina Nakiri, and was coerced into agreeing half-heartedly.

That made Su Ze feel even worse.

He hoped that the old man was the kind of person who was truly willing to entrust Nakiri Erina to Su Ze, and for that reason, Su Ze had been practicing more and more diligently lately.

They're just waiting for the perfect opportunity to make a name for themselves.

"Is it because you're a public figure?" Ogata Rizu asked with a sympathetic look. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"Thank you," Su Ze replied.

The phone rang again.

Rizu Ogata had previously refused to answer the phone, so her father called again.

She walked towards the door with a helpless expression and answered the phone.

Inside the living room.

"Erina, don't just self-destruct all the time!" Su Ze complained. "At this rate, the whole world will know you're my wife."

"I can't stand it." Erina Nakiri realized that she had done something wrong again, and her voice weakened, but she felt that she couldn't just give in like that.

"I'm doing this to keep these petty thieves at bay." Erina Nakiri crossed her arms, her voice rising sharply. "Why do they only target you and look down on everyone else?"

“I can’t do anything about this. Erina, can you think of a way to urge your father-in-law to speed things up?” Su Ze said, spreading his hands. “Tell him to hurry up and kidnap all the Elite Ten of Totsuki.”

"After he was kidnapped, I slaughtered them all that same day."

"After completing the food battles one by one, it's only natural to step over them and rise to the top."

“Don’t talk like that villain!” Erina Nakiri said, rubbing her forehead. This was one of the plans they had discussed.

Because Su Ze is not qualified to participate in the World Culinary Championships, in other words, he has no way to participate in this level of competition to increase his popularity.

Therefore, the best targets for gaining reputation next are the Elite Ten of Totsuki Academy.

These are the ten most famous young Japanese chefs. Most importantly, these are names that the old man knows very well.

Su Ze sank them all, so it would be hard for the old man not to have a deep impression of Su Ze.

The problem is that the Elite Ten of Totsuki Academy haven't defected to his father-in-law's school yet, so they are still members of Totsuki Academy. Su Ze went up to challenge them.

That is, it's like family members beating each other up.

Have you ever seen someone destroy their own team's defensive towers?

We should at least wait until they 'defect', right?

It sounds strange.

Su Ze and Erina Nakiri are now counting the stars and the moon, hoping that one of the Elite Ten will defect. Once they defect and arrive at Azami Nakiri's school, they will definitely try to gain some reputation with Totsuki Academy.

Let's stage a 'betrayal of the chef and massacre of the school' drama.

Doesn't that immediately demonstrate Su Ze's importance?

The most devastating thing is that Su Ze will be proficient in most kinds of cooking in the future. God Tongue is really hard to satisfy. If he gets tired of one dish, he will want to switch to another. If you don't have a few tricks up your sleeve, you can't satisfy Erina.

In other words, if Su Ze were to bully the young people to death against the Elite Ten of Totsuki, he could defeat them using their most proficient dish.

That's why the two of them were hoping for the Elite Ten to defect.

They are the best candidates to establish authority and make their debut right now!

Think about it this way.

Erina Nakiri really wanted to make a phone call to her father.

Tell him to get started quickly.

It's long-winded and incredibly slow.

......

Chapter 55 Erina, you can't mess around with other men's women

Erina Nakiri planned countless templates for Su Ze's path to fame, believing that her man must be outstanding. Among them, the career development plan in the culinary world would begin with his appearance as a judge on the God Tongue.

This was the first time Erina Nakiri had Suze appear in public, building up his initial fame and giving him some recognition in the surrounding area, making it easier for him to run his ramen shop.

Next steps.

At first, they did consider targeting the Elite Ten of Totsuki Academy. Erina had an idea to have Suze pretend to be a 'passerby' and directly beat him up, but they later abandoned the plan.

I was afraid that my grandfather would think I was the kind of person who came over to provoke me and was incredibly arrogant.

After all, the Elite Ten are from Totsuki Academy, and Grandpa will have some bias towards them. If things go wrong, it will backfire. If the two sides really start fighting, how will things end?

Later, unexpectedly, his own father became an accomplice.

That was the first time in so many years that Erina Nakiri had been so grateful to her father. He had not only helped Totsuki Academy find those wavering individuals, making it easier to clean house, but he had also provided the perfect assist.

Although it's unclear how many of the Elite Ten have been recruited, judging from the tone, it's probably quite a few. In itself, the Elite Ten is a great point of interest in terms of popularity, and many people who don't know much about cooking are familiar with this name.

It would be perfect to use it as capital for Su Ze's advancement.

Thinking of this, Erina Nakiri felt a little sorry for her grandfather, who had trained the Elite Ten, and yet there were some opportunists and traitors among them.

Think again.

Not a loss either.

How can it be considered a loss when a traitor uses his granddaughter's husband as a stepping stone?

No matter how much effort you put into cultivating someone, can they really be considered family? In the end, they'll still run away whenever they want. But can a grandson-in-law run away? He's truly family.

Let alone a one-for-one exchange.

Even trading one for ten wouldn't be a loss!

Once these two steps are completed, Su Ze will have a certain reputation in the culinary world. He can then find a way to get a spot at Totsuki Culinary Academy and send him to participate in the World Championships. At this point, it won't be a problem for Su Ze to expose his relationship.

Later on, you can use food programs or even variety shows to solidify your brand awareness, gradually make money, and eventually gain a foothold in the business world.

After achieving financial freedom.

She can live her life with Su Ze however she wants.

The plan was too perfect.

"What are you thinking about?" Su Ze looked at Erina Nakiri, whose eyes were sparkling, glanced at the clock, and asked softly, "It's so late, why don't you stay here tonight?"

Erina Nakiri has returned from the fantasy world.

I checked the time on my phone.

I've been here for almost two hours without even realizing it.

“We can’t stay here overnight yet.” Erina Nakiri shook her head. She could keep it from Hisako Shirato, but she couldn’t keep it from the old man.

Just ask Hisako Shinto.

Given Hisako's relatively docile nature, she might not reveal where she went at night, but she will most likely confess that Erina didn't return to the dormitory that night.

The old man could ask the security guards at the school gate or even check the surveillance footage to find out if she had come home at night.

It's too difficult to avoid all of this and spend the night here.

"The usual, I'll walk you part of the way," Su Ze said truthfully without insisting.

“Hmm.” Erina Nakiri said with a smile, “Why are you looking so sad? Living together is inevitable.”
