In the following days, Satou had a lot of free time because it was a holiday and he didn't have classes.
During the day, he would hold Thor and Kanna to watch TV, or go help Erina Nakiri with her taste-testing work to relieve some of her pressure, or go play with the people at Polar Star Dormitory.
Of course, sometimes Erina Nakiri would also come along.
However, every time he went, Tadokoro Megumi would blush upon seeing him, somewhat afraid to look at him.
Satou also felt a bit of a headache about this.
There was still a lot of the tuna sashimi cut last time, so Satou sent some to the people at Polar Star Dormitory to taste. Everyone who ate it praised it endlessly.
In the evening, he continued to open his shop, as opening the shop was his only source of income, and earning money could not be neglected.
However, because Satou hadn't opened his shop for a long time, on the first long-awaited opening, the shop was packed with customers, almost making Satou and Thor too busy to handle.
To compensate these loyal regular customers who waited outside the shop every day, Satou also gave each of them an extra cup of juice.
Soon, several days passed.
That afternoon, Satou and Erina Nakiri went to visit Polar Star Dormitory again.
The Tsundere had now become good friends with everyone.
"Megumi, Yukihira, Satou and Miss Erina are here to visit again."
Grandma Fumio shouted towards the courtyard.
Tadokoro Megumi and the others were planting vegetables in the adjacent courtyard. These vegetables were personally cultivated by Isshiki Satoshi, and their quality was excellent, far surpassing vegetables on the market, though there was still some gap compared to things like Almond Cabbage.
"Hi, are you two coming to visit again?"
Yuki Yoshino, wearing a refreshing short-sleeved shirt and shorts, ran over and called out happily.
Every time she came to play with Satou, she would be teased by Yuki Yoshino about being a visiting couple, making Erina Nakiri grit her teeth in annoyance.
"Ah, Satou, are you here to play with Miss Erina again?"
Isshiki Satoshi walked out of the courtyard, wearing a naked apron and carrying freshly picked vegetables in his hand.
"How uncivilized."
Erina Nakiri blushed, somewhat afraid to look at him.
Although it wasn't the first time she had seen it, she always felt it was too scandalous.
At this moment, Ryoko Sakaki and Tadokoro Megumi also walked over.
Tadokoro Megumi was wearing a cool blue dress, revealing her fair arms and calves. She wore a sun hat and carried a basket of fresh vegetables, exuding a sunny and fresh aura.
Noticing Satou looking at her, Tadokoro Megumi immediately blushed and lowered her head.
"Everyone said the sashimi was delicious last time, so I brought some more."
Satou said with a smile, then handed over a box.
Yuki Yoshino snatched it immediately, licking her lips and saying, "You're too polite, always bringing gifts when you visit."
"Indeed."
Isshiki Satoshi also smiled slightly, "When you leave later, take some freshly picked vegetables with you."
"Then we won't be polite."
Satou said with a smile.
Erina Nakiri on the side felt a bit strange, as if they really were a couple visiting old friends.
Then, everyone started playing poker.
At this moment, Satou suddenly received a message from Alice Nakiri.
"Hehe, I'm back!"
Seeing this message, Alice Nakiri's playful and cute appearance couldn't help but surface in Satou's mind.
For the past few days, Alice Nakiri had been in Northern Europe, as she hadn't seen her parents for a long time.
"My parents are also back this time."
Alice Nakiri sent another message.
"Oh, by the way, my Mom often talks about you."
This was the third message.
Satou couldn't help but feel speechless.
However, Satou still had a good impression of that elegant and noble, yet very cute when speaking, Mother-in-law.
Souei Nakiri and Leonora Nakiri had been abroad for many years, and now that they were finally back, they definitely wanted to have a good reunion with Senzaemon Nakiri and Erina Nakiri, as members of Nakiri rarely had the chance to gather as a family.
At this moment, Erina Nakiri also received the news, her expression somewhat strange as she said, "Uncle and Aunt are back. Grandpa wants us to have dinner together."
"Hmm, that's great."
Satou nodded subconsciously, but quickly came to his senses, "Wait, am I also going?"
This should be a Nakiri family dinner, and Souei Nakiri and Leonora Nakiri had finally returned...
"Well, it looks like you two are about to have good news."
Yuki Yoshino said with a giggle.
"Wh-what good news is about to happen?"
Erina Nakiri's face was completely red as she stammered.
"Yu isn't wrong. Since Satou you're invited to Nakiri's family gathering, they must be treating you as one of their own, right?"
Grandma Fumio said with a smile.
"Eh? So that means, are you going to meet Miss Erina's parents, Satou?"
Yukihira Soma asked in surprise.
"You… what are you talking about?!"
Erina Nakiri's ears turned red, and she cried out in shame and annoyance, but her heart felt sweet.
Tadokoro Megumi's expression was somewhat downcast on the side.
"But I already met Head Chef last time, right?"
Satou scratched his head and said.
"That's different. This time is your first time meeting all the members of the Nakiri family, which is equivalent to your first formal visit."
Ryoko Sakaki said, "What are you two waiting for? Hurry up and prepare."
"Hmm? Prepare what?"
Satou asked, somewhat bewildered.
"Of course, prepare a meeting gift, and also, dress formally."
Ryoko Sakaki warned.
Satou was a bit speechless. It might really just be a 0.7 meal, was it necessary to make it so serious?
"That's right, I remember big families value this kind of etiquette very much."
Yukihira Soma also said, "Satou, hurry up and prepare."
Hearing them, Erina Nakiri, who had originally thought it was just a simple meal, also started to get nervous.
"Let's go back first, Satou."
She said somewhat nervously.
Satou looked at her, feeling quite speechless.
Helpless, he and Erina Nakiri had no choice but to leave Polar Star Dormitory together.
"Satou, Grandpa likes to drink tea very much, why don't you bring some tea leaves? But you don't seem to have formal clothes, I wonder if there's enough time to buy some now."
Erina Nakiri said somewhat anxiously, which made Satou speechless. Why did it feel like she was the one meeting the parents, not him?
