Night, Gourmet Street.
Erina and Hisako arrived at the Izakaya.
Aside from their chance encounter in Akihabara, Erina had rarely seen Sosuke during this period, and of course, she hadn't tasted his cooking for a long time.
Even though she was quite formidable at Totsuki Academy,
Her stunning beauty and ethereal aura garnered her many followers within the academy, including quite a few girls, such as:
The original stalker, Zhenzuka Nao!
In the eyes of this stalker, Erina was sacred and inviolable, even from someone she considered to have slightly impure thoughts, Hisako.
"Milady, the Izakaya seems to have been redecorated."
Looking at the beautiful flower garden that used to be outside the door, it had been replaced by a zen-inspired bamboo water feature.
Looking up further, there was also a plaque with four large characters:
"Drinking Alone Under the Moon."
Hisako couldn't help but exclaim.
"Hmm, I didn't expect such a big change here either…"
Observing the scene before her, Erina was also secretly surprised.
After all, this Izakaya had only been open for less than two months, yet under Sosuke's diligent management, its business was booming, and the changes were so significant!
After thinking, she gently brushed the hair from her forehead, adjusted her clothes, and then asked, "Hisako, do I look alright tonight?"
"Milady, your white dress tonight is truly beautiful."
"I'm sure that with your current appearance and attire, you'll captivate Sosuke once you go inside the Izakaya."
Hisako seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly.
"What do you mean!"
"I'm not dressing for him."
Upon hearing this, Erina's face flushed slightly.
Then, she gently took a step, and as she was about to push the door open, her gaze suddenly became cautious, looking straight into the nearby alley.
"Milady, what's wrong?"
Seeing this, Hisako couldn't help but become nervous as well.
"I feel like someone is secretly watching us, maybe it's Zhenzuka Nao?" Erina said, uncertainly.
"Her?"
"Damn it."
"I clearly defeated her in a Shokugeki last year, making her unable to approach you within 50 meters, Milady."
After speaking, Hisako was about to head into the dimly lit alley to directly drive away Zhenzuka Nao, who was secretly watching them.
"Forget it, she hasn't done anything too offensive to me."
Seeing this, Erina quickly stopped Hisako, then added, "The most important thing right now is Sosuke's cooking."
"Alright, I understand!"
Seeing Erina's stance, Hisako naturally had no objections.
Then, the two of them walked into the Izakaya together.
…
Soon after Erina entered the Izakaya,
A woman dressed in a pure white kimono, holding a folding fan, slowly emerged from the dim alley.
Behind her was another pretty young woman.
"Mana-sama, your… your daughter is right there. This is the best time for you two to reunite as mother and daughter!"
