"Erina, you might not understand the pain of anorexia now, but at least you can understand that your mother, when she chose to leave home back then, definitely didn't intend to abandon you."
"God Tongue, this is something passed down through the Nakiri family."
"But for two consecutive generations to possess the God Tongue is an extremely low-probability phenomenon."
"So, when she gave birth to you at that time, your mother must have been filled with despair, and could only silently accept all of it!"
"Finally, in order to find a way to break the curse of the God Tongue, she was willing to suffer the condemnation of her conscience and leave you, and abandon the entire family."
"I can't say how great she is, or how selfish she is!"
"But one undeniable fact is that as long as the curse of the God Tongue is never broken, the tragedy will continue to repeat itself."
"Your mother, your grandfather, your father, and even you, can only watch all of this happen."
"However, as long as I, Sosuke, am here,"
"I will use my cooking to heal you two, mother and daughter!"
Sosuke slowly said.
After he said this, Mana, who was sitting on the chair, looked somewhat lost in thought.
Facing her daughter's accusations, she had always felt guilt and sadness.
And just now, when Sosuke said he could no longer make Golden Ratio Shao Mai and could only make Beautiful Egg Chicken, she vaguely sensed his intention.
She just didn't expect Sosuke to say such words in the end.
At this moment, it must be said that Mana was truly touched. She hadn't expected that Sosuke would be willing to redeem both her and Erina!
She remembered that when she was at the Izakaya, she had hoped to entrust her daughter, Erina, to Sosuke.
At the time, she thought he had only reluctantly agreed out of politeness, but she never expected that he genuinely cared about Erina so much, even attempting to persuade her tonight not to resent herself so much!
"Hypocrite."
"I…I don't need you to heal and redeem me."
Erina's beautiful eyes began to blur.
She kept staring intently at Sosuke, and finally, unable to hold back, she said, "Sosuke, actually…during the Practical Training, I was thinking of you constantly!"
"I know you're amazing; even with the simplest ingredients, you can make dishes that satisfy my God Tongue."
"I also know that the only person in this world who can break the God Tongue is you!"
"But I'm also very afraid, afraid that the beliefs I've held for years will be shaken because of you, and even the confidence the God Tongue has given me for years will make me fall into self-doubt again!"
"But as I've spent time with you, I've realized that you truly use your cooking to bring happiness and smiles to your customers."
"And only when I'm by your side do I feel truly happy and content."
"So…so…I…"
"Silly girl!"
"You don't need to say all this."
Upon hearing this, Sosuke couldn't help but walk up to Erina and gently stroke her forehead.
"Mmm, Sosuke, I…I hope that whenever something like this happens again in the future, you'll be by my side."
It was the first time she had been touched on the forehead by him, and Erina didn't feel repulsed at all. On the contrary, she felt a slight ripple within her, like an electric shock that made her a little flustered!
"Mom, I…I…"
"I still resent you in my heart now, but I will slowly try to understand you."
Finally, after Sosuke's guidance, Erina, as if her heart had been unburdened, came back to Mana and said this.
Mana's body stiffened slightly, then she raised her head again and looked at her daughter with deep affection.
Finally, the emotions she had deliberately suppressed and tried not to show erupted at this moment. She only saw her raise her delicate hand and caress Erina's exquisite little face!
"It's been a full 10 years."
"I can't even remember what you look like anymore."
"Erina, I really am a very selfish mother. In order to free myself from the pain of the God Tongue, I heartlessly abandoned you!"
"And finally, because of my departure, you were subjected to Nakamura Azami's cage education."
"And during that painful life, I was never by your side, never took good care of you, and never fulfilled a mother's responsibility!"
"All of this was caused by me, so you should resent me."
Mana withdrew her hand and sighed softly.
