Satou was stunned for a moment, then nodded instinctively.
However, he quickly realized that this might mean they approved of him living with Utaha. He felt a little happy, as expected, Mother-in-law was easier to talk to.
Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was beside him, glanced at him indifferently and gently twisted his waist with her small hand.
Next, everyone sat and chatted for a while, and soon it got dark, and it was time for dinner.
"Let's go out for dinner; I know a good place nearby."
Kasumigaoka Airi suggested.
"Oh, right, why don't we just go to my small shop to eat?"
Satou suddenly said.
It wasn't far from his Apartment, and the snack shop was conveniently located near his Apartment, so it shouldn't be far.
"Okay!"
Kasumigaoka Airi's eyes lit up slightly, "Then let's go take a look."
Kouzi was also a bit tempted and wanted to see what Satou's small shop was like.
Afterward, the family walked out of the Apartment and got into the taxi Satou had called.
Soon, they arrived at Satou's small shop.
Because it now operated on an appointment system, the area outside the shop was no longer always packed with customers like before.
Considering that opening the shop today would make the small interior a bit crowded, Satou decided to close for the day to properly host his Father and Mother-in-law.
Since there was an extra staff member, Thor and Kanna no longer came to the shop much; usually, only Yusa Emi and Elma helped out.
Satou called them and told them not to come today.
Upon entering the shop, Kouzi and his wife curiously looked around.
"Satou, is this the small shop you opened?"
Kouzi's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly; the shop was a bit small, and it probably couldn't accommodate many customers at once, which meant the daily income wouldn't be very high.
Although for Satou, who lost his parents young and had to open a shop while attending University, it was already commendable, getting married in the future and supporting a family would be very tough, and Utaha might face a lot of hardship if she married him.
"Although the shop is a bit small, this child's cooking is so delicious; his business will definitely get better and better in the future."
Kasumigaoka Airi, however, seemed more optimistic.
"That's true too."
Kouzi nodded; Satou's cooking skills were indeed impeccable, and his future life should get better and better.
Clearly, both of them were convinced that Satou's small shop usually had average business.
"Uncle, Auntie, what would you like for dinner? There's still a lot of ingredients in the kitchen refrigerator."
Satou asked.
"Oh, what's your small shop's signature dish? Why don't we have that?"
Kasumigaoka Airi smiled slightly, then instinctively turned her head to look at the menu on the wall.
It was fine until she looked; her expression slightly froze.
Kouzi followed her gaze and also wondered if he had misread.
"Um... Satou... Is the amount on your menu written incorrectly? Why is it so expensive?"
Kasumigaoka Airi asked with an unnatural expression.
Because on the menu, most of the dishes were priced at 20,000 yen per dish, and some even went up to 50,000 or even 100,000.
Such prices were rarely seen even in high-end restaurants.

"Uh, please wait a moment."
Satou said, then quickly closed the door.
Ten minutes later.
Kasumigaoka Utaha's parents sat on the floor cushions in the living room.
Satou and Kasumigaoka Utaha knelt opposite them, heads bowed, the atmosphere a bit delicate.
Kasumigaoka Utaha's hands nervously clutched the hem of her skirt, her cheeks slightly flushed, looking at the teacup on the table, not daring to meet her parents' eyes.
At this moment, she felt very awkward; she hadn't expected her parents to suddenly visit at such a time and coincidentally stumble upon her and Satou's situation.
"Um..."
She hesitated for a moment, wanting to explain something, but was interrupted by her Father.
"Utaha, are you comfortable staying here these past two days?"
His voice was calm, showing no anger or disappointment.
"Huh?"
