Deep in the night.
Alice and Rina were already resting in the adjacent room.
After a brief discussion, it was late, so Renz casually bid his sister-in-law goodnight and headed back to his room after some polite exchanges.
The door closed, and Erina locked it.
She sat on the bed, crossing her legs.
"Confess and be lenient; resist and be strict," Erina questioned Renz, staring at him. "Tell me, why did Alice give you her molecular gastronomy journal? Don't be vague."
Renz lay directly on the bed, ignoring Erina's crossed legs.
"I said I wanted to learn molecular gastronomy, I wanted to make molecular dishes for you, so she gave it to me,"
Renz said, believing there was no need to ask.
"You said you wanted to learn, and she just gave it to
you so readily?" Erina asked, hesitating.
"Otherwise? Would she teach me hand-in-hand? You'd chop me up then," Renz rolled his eyes and said, sitting up cross-legged. "Don't be so suspicious."
"No, it's mainly that Alice has never married, which makes me quite scared," Erina said after a moment of silence.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Renz didn't understand Erina's logic. It couldn't be that Alice remained unmarried because of Renz, could it?
That would be too absurd.
Their relationship was limited to the realm of culinary studies and the normal sister-in-law/brother-in-law dynamic; there were no abnormal social interactions.
"If you really want to talk about it, don't you have a cousin, Mashiro Shiina? She hasn't married either," Renz added. "It's just that she hasn't found the right person yet."
Erina thought about it; perhaps she was indeed overthinking.
"By the way, what you did at the Gourmet Street is already famous," Erina said, pulling herself into the covers.
"So Ferran Adria still has quite a standing in the culinary world, huh?" Renz scratched his head.
"Oh, actually, in Japan, Ferran Adria's reputation is rather limited," Erina added.
It was a matter of circles.
Ferran Adria was a master of molecular gastronomy, active in Spain and across Europe, and his peak period was twenty years ago.
This timeline was too long, so much so that many people outside the culinary world, without delving deep into his background, would find it difficult to recognize his true identity.
Those not well-versed in cuisine might not recognize Ferran Adria.
"This fame should have been brought to you by Master Sadamori Ono," Erina said.
Sadamori Ono was very famous in the Japanese culinary world, both within and outside his circle.
Because sushi is considered a quintessential Japanese cuisine, almost a cultural icon, and Sadamori Ono's Ono Sushi had held the top spot in Japanese sushi for over a decade.
Sadamori Ono's father was revered as the God of Sushi.
Even those unfamiliar with cuisine knew that the Ono family produced the best sushi chefs in Japan.
This meant that Renz's victory over Sadamori Ono brought him a surge of popularity and fame, which indirectly led to his background being thoroughly investigated.
Consequently, his opponent in the second round, Ferran Adria, was also meticulously analyzed by the media.
By now, everyone knew that Renz was Erina's husband,
the spouse of the Nakiri family's new God's Tongue.
They also knew about Renz's exceptionally high culinary skills.
"What good will that bring?" Renz frowned. Early fame
often became a burden, affecting one's quality of life.
"After you became famous, I suddenly received many invitations for TV programs," Erina said. "There were invitations for us to appear on food shows."
"There were also invitations for us to be on comedy shows."
"All in all, from what I've seen, the compensation is quite good, offering a rather high fee."
"Once you conquer all the people at the food festival in the next few days, your worth might even double."
"At that point, we could definitely participate in these shows to earn money, and then use the money we earn to improve our lives, buy a new house, a new car," Erina outlined her rough plan.
"No variety shows at all," Renz said, disliking these Japanese variety shows, most of which were quite
humiliating.
Their purpose was to entertain the audience by making celebrities look foolish.
While that was the underlying principle paying celebrities to make fools of themselves for audience enjoyment watching it and participating in it were two entirely different matters.
Renz had no desire to be a laughingstock on stage.
"I don't want to go on food shows either," Renz added. He had participated in food shows before, and for someone of his caliber, appearing on them felt somewhat demeaning.
Not participating was the best option.
Erina was also aware of this; she dismissed food show invitations even faster than others.
"Here's a family program we could try," Erina said,
sifting through all the invitations and mentioning a program she thought they could consider.
"The show is called [Our Wonderful Life], and it invites newlywed celebrities from various industries to participate."
"There are pianists, artists from different fields, voice actors, famous actors, and even hosts."
"The requirement is to be a newlywed couple or a couple with children."
"And to feature couples from different professions, they've truly gone to great lengths, offering us an incredibly high fee," Erina complained. "Indeed, in Japan, entertainers are the cheapest."
That's obvious.
There are so many entertainers, and certainly many newlywed or child-bearing ones.
But what about other fields?
Finding famous people who also have children or are newly married would be incredibly difficult.
The show couldn't invite unknown people to appear, as that would affect viewership ratings.
Erina and Renz's qualifications made them almost the ideal choice for this program.
Because they were in the culinary world.
Secondly, they were the two most skilled newlywed chefs in the culinary world, and they also had a child such a combination was hard to find.
Finally, Erina possessed the God's Tongue, and its popularity was undeniable, even known by people outside the culinary world.
This led to their exceptionally high worth and compensation.
"Don't agree yet, let them wait a few days while we conquer the Gourmet Street first," Renz mused.
Japanese family-oriented programs wouldn't be too excessive; such shows are primarily educational, and pranks wouldn't be effective.
Moreover, the guests invited were all elites from various fields, and these elites weren't there to play the clown.
They weren't comedians and didn't have the endurance to put up with being made fun of.
People with temperaments would simply leave the set if they were annoyed.
Likewise, they had the ability to express their dissatisfaction.
Elites are different from entertainers who can be replaced or swapped out at any time; some industry elites are irreplaceable.
For example, the God's Tongue in the culinary world.
Only the Nakiri family possesses the God's Tongue. If the show angered the Nakiri family, there would be no substitute.
This was the advantage of being invaluable and in high demand.
Upon seeing this, Renz felt as if participating in this show would be like picking up money. So, he decided to intensify his efforts at the Gourmet Street to further boost his value.
Renz, who had originally planned not to hold back, now,
after seeing the show's requirements and compensation on Erina's phone, felt even more strongly that not only should he not hold back in this Gourmet Street challenge, but he should also escalate the intensity of the confrontation.
This way, it would be easier to maximize his worth.
