However, Satou still turned and went into the kitchen, bringing out some more apple-fried beef, the main course.
"Is everyone satisfied with today's dishes?"
Satou asked with a smile.
"Hmm, it was truly a wonderful dish. Satou, this time I've truly lost to you."
Eishi Tsukasa sighed, laughing somewhat helplessly, "But next time, I will definitely surpass you."
He had initially thought that losing to Satou was due to the ingredients, but after tasting his cooking, he realized that Satou's culinary skill was no longer beneath his own.
"Hmm, I'm very much looking forward to the next showdown with Tsukasa-senpai."
Satou also said with a smile.
Today's dishes also left the guests very satisfied.
Their only regret was that today was the last day of the School Festival, and they might not be able to taste such dishes again in the future.
"Satou, will you still be open tomorrow?"
Natsume Chihyaku walked over, hugging Satou's arm and cooing.
"Yes, Manager, will we still be able to eat your dishes in the future?"
The other guests also asked one after another.
Satou felt a bit helpless and said, "Sorry everyone, the School Festival ends tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, everyone was exceptionally disappointed.
The dishes over the past five days had given them enough surprises, and the thought of never being able to taste such delicious food again made these gourmets suddenly feel like a large part of life's joy was missing.
Immediately, some unwilling guests began to persuade him, hoping Satou would open his own shop.
"Satou's dishes are really popular."
Eishi Tsukasa exclaimed.
"That's a given!"
Alice Nakiri said with a proud expression.
"Exactly, exactly! Satou's dishes are very, very, very popular with customers!"
Leonora Nakiri also smiled slightly, her face showing pride, deliberately repeating "very" three times, in a girlish tone that made her seem quite cute.
The mother and daughter, singing in harmony and cooperating perfectly, had clearly transformed into Satou's little fangirls.
Eishi Tsukasa couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Haha, it seems you've completely taken Satou as your son-in-law."
"Well, Erina-chan lacked care since she was little, and I'm sort of her half-mother, so I can be considered Satou's Mother-in-law too!"
Leonora Nakiri said with some pride.
"Then when will you open your own restaurant? When you open, I'll definitely come to support you."
Chihyaku Orie swayed Satou's arm, her face full of longing.
Satou also had a bit of a headache and said, "That's hard to say right now. If I do open, I'll definitely let everyone know."
Actually, he also thought opening his own shop was a good idea, but he simply didn't have the time.
"But I still really want to know, can't you just give me a definite answer, please?"
Chihyaku Orie swayed Satou's arm, pressing a finger to her lips, cooing like an innocent girl facing her lover.
"How shameless!"
Alice Nakiri saw this scene and cried out angrily.
"Exactly."
Leonora Nakiri also nodded in agreement, "What a cheap woman."
Seeing that Natsume Chihyaku also seemed to want to lean in, Alice Nakiri could no longer hold back. She rushed directly in front of Satou, puffing out her cheeks, and angrily shouted, "You guys are going too far!"
"Exactly."
Seeing her daughter take action, Leonora Nakiri also quickly came to her aid, snatching Satou from Chihyaku Orie's hand, hugging his arm, and saying, "Satou, in the future, be careful of those disreputable women."
"Who are you calling disreputable?"
Chihyaku Orie was furious.
"I wasn't talking about you; I was talking about those who cling to men the moment they see them."
Leonora Nakiri hugged Satou's arm, a girlish tsundere expression on her beautiful face, and let out a soft snort.
"Don't you also cling to men the moment you see them?"
Natsume Chihyaku gritted her teeth and yelled irritably.
"Well, Satou is also a member of Nakiri, and I can be considered his half-Mother-in-law, so affectionate gestures are very normal."
Leonora Nakiri deliberately rubbed her face against Satou's shoulder, looking perfectly natural, and then said to Satou, "Satou, be careful not to be misled by such vulgar women."
However, looking at her, she didn't seem like a Mother-in-law at all; she looked more like a wife.
"Exactly, exactly!"
Alice Nakiri hugged Satou's other arm, nodding repeatedly.
Looking at these two mother and daughter, Satou was quite speechless. Unlike the naive and innocent Alice, his Mother-in-law was actually a bit mischievous and not to be underestimated; she was very good at making sarcastic remarks.
"As a Mother-in-law, aren't your actions with your son-in-law a bit too improper? How shameless!"
Natsume Chihyaku gritted her teeth and scoffed.
"Well, these are affectionate gestures between family members, it's very normal."
Leonora Nakiri said with a smile, holding Satou's arm.
"Exactly!"
Alice Nakiri chimed in, "Our family has a very good relationship."
Looking at the mother and daughter on either side, the Chihyaku sisters were so angry their teeth itched, but they couldn't argue with Leonora Nakiri.
The guests nearby watched, secretly amused.
It seemed this war between mother and daughter and sisters ended with the victory of the mother and daughter.
However, they also hadn't expected that the Chihyaku sisters, who usually left everyone helpless, had met their match this time and were left speechless by this daughter-in-law of Nakiri.
Satou also sighed, this Mother-in-law's combat power was truly off the charts.
But then he became depressed, would he have to be strictly supervised by this Mother-in-law from now on?
"Haha, Satou, it seems you have a very deep bond with the Nakiri people."
Eishi Tsukasa couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"That's a given."
Leonora Nakiri smiled and held Satou's arm, though she looked very young, more like siblings or a couple.
"But the Head Chef really cares for Satou."
Eishi Tsukasa said.
"I can't help it. My son-in-law is so outstanding, he's bound to be targeted by some disreputable women. As an elder, I naturally have to be cautious."
Leonora Nakiri said as a matter of course; in her opinion, this was what she should do as a Mother-in-law.
