Relationships can be categorized into several levels. The most common type is the ordinary high school coupleāthose who, through a few words or a certain moment, find each other incredibly cute and try every method to approach and pursue one another. After forming a relationship, they slowly begin to live in their own little world within their social circle. However, when the initial excitement fades, these couples often enter a cooling-off period. During this time, arguments become more frequent. Those who overcome this stage will advance their relationship, while those who don't will, in most cases, break up.
While peaceful breakups are ideal, it's not uncommon for people to badmouth each other afterward. These ordinary couples, despite lacking a deep emotional connection, continue to feign passionate affection in public. They are the prime targets of the FFF Brigade. Wherever they go, the FFF Brigade is sure to wreak havoc.
However, there exists another level of relationship that transcends all othersāone that can only be described as a "CP." As a seasoned manga enthusiast, Masuzu Natsukawa's highest praise for a couple was to label them as a "CP" (Couple). In the ACGN (Anime, Comics, Games, Novels) fan circles, "CP" refers to fan pairings that denote romantic relationships, but it is also broadly used to refer to any partners or combinations.
Within the CP category, there is an even more terrifying level: "King's Road Pairings." These are inseparable CPs, and any attempt to break them up would provoke widespread dissatisfaction and protest from countless fans. Once a couple reaches the level of an Oudou Pair, they become so supported by the public that even the FFF Brigade dares not interfere. If they tried, they would face divine retribution from the "justice warriors."
Masuzu Natsukawa's probing of Renz was driven by two factors: first, her general indifference, even aversion, to romance; and second, Renz's strangely calm response to his "darling wife's" affectionate words during the phone call.
A newly married man, receiving such tender words from his spouse, would usually be moved, yet Renz seemed unfazed. His reaction even appeared to be one of amusement. Masuzu had suspected that he might be involved in a love triangle, but the facts indicated otherwise. His responses were consistently firm and clear, leaving Masuzu more curious about the nature of his relationship.
"I look forward to the day when Renz-kun's wife comes to school to pick you up and go home together," Masuzu said, taking a sip of the coffee that Kaguya Shinomiya had brewed for everyone. Kaguya, unable to endure the "flirting," had quietly gone to make coffee.
The taste of the coffee was unexpectedly sweet. How could coffee be so sweet? Masuzu wondered how much sugar Kaguya had added, though she didn't comment. The others, however, had all been served coffee, except for Renz.
"Where's mine?" Renz asked, looking at Kaguya.
"All couples must die," Kaguya said ominously, before quickly realizing her blunder and smiling. "Oh, my, my, Renz-kun, don't you have a wife?"
"Making coffee is something your wife should do herself, right?" Kaguya teased.
"Oh, not necessarily. I usually make the coffee," Renz replied. He recalled how Erina's workload was often much heavier than his. Sometimes, she had to attend food judging panels or prepare documents late into the night. During such times, Renz would brew coffee for her. However, when Erina had free time, she would play games with him. Their future couple's live streams would be incredibly popular.
Kaguya Shinomiya, feeling a sharp pang of envy, thought to herself, What kind of existence is this guy, always showing affection so effortlessly? The sight was like nails scratching a chalkboard in her mind. Please stop showing off your wife, you jerk!
"Ahhhh, I'm going to die, I'm going to die..." Erina muffled her face into her pillow, clutching both sides, her flushed cheeks burning hot.
Thump, thump, thumpāsomeone knocked at the door.
Who could it be? Has Hisako Arato returned? Wasn't she at an event?
Erina put down the pillow, pinched her cheeks to steady herself, and took a deep breath before opening the door. Standing before her was a white-haired old man with a scar near his eye.
Senzaemon Nakiri.
The Totsuki Academy Director had arrived. Erina suddenly felt a rush of nervousness. She had done something bold the previous night, and the matter at hand was crucial. She didn't want to expose it. Her hands instinctively moved behind her back.
"Grandfather, is there something you need?" Erina asked.
"Hm, this Saturday, there's a collective Shokugeki among international exchange students, preparing for the Spring Elections," Senzaemon Nakiri said, narrowing his eyes. "As Totsuki's Tenth Seat, you need to attend this team battle."
"Exchange students?" Erina seized on a key phrase, surprised.
"Yes, some Japanese chefs from abroad," Senzaemon Nakiri explained. "There are a few formidable individuals. Your cousin, Alice, will also be there."
Senzaemon's tone shifted as he continued. "By the way, Hisako told me you've been quite impressed with a certain young chef," he said, raising an eyebrow. "This international exchange student event doesn't have a limit on participants, so you can bring him along to learn."
"After all, there aren't many dishes in this world that can satisfy the God's Tongue anymore," he added. "And those who can create such dishes are exceptional chefs."
"If possible, try to invite him to join Totsuki Academy and see if he's interested."
Erina was about to reprimand Hisako Arato for "blabbing" to her grandfather, worried it might expose her "strategic objectives." However, after hearing the rest of his words, Erina's expression shifted instantly.
Well done, Hisako!
Isn't this an opportunity for Renz to prove his worth? If Renz could showcase his culinary skills, what could possibly go wrong for their marriage? A cute little image of Renz popped into Erina's mind, giving her an adorable "queen's laugh."
She used to resent these seemingly meaningless friendly matches. But now, she saw them as absolutely necessary. She would also make sure her cousin, Alice, met her husband.
Make her sour early.
Hahahahaha~!
