Chapter 378: Sister Cuisine (1/2)

“The best spice is love, indeed.”

“I’ve heard that before.”

“Now, without all the sugarcoating, I mean that one’s ability to present greatly affects the meal.”

“Yeah, that’s definitely not sugarcoating it…”

“Just a little pinch of love.”

“…Yeah, that does sound like what a presentation is.”

“Indeed.”

Youran fell silent.

She seemed to understand the conversation, but lacked the desire to learn from Sakura. However, if you thought about their relationship until now, it was a reasonable reaction. Taiyou knew all of this, hence why he intentionally said:

“Youran, learn from Sakura.”

“Master?”

“Actually…”

He looked at Sakura.

“Can you make something right now?”

Taiyou asked.

“Yes, there do seem to be enough ingredients. It’s just that doing so might disrupt the plans.”

“Plans?”

“One look inside the refrigerator will tell you all you need to know. What’s in there is simply enough for what was planned. It’s your typical housewife refrigerator, skilled at getting by only with the minimum budget.”

“Yeah, that must be thanks to the triplets. They’re skilled at that sort of thing.”

“So I am not sure if I should…”

“No, I’ll take all the responsibility.”

Taiyou decided immediately.

“Then there is no issue. Well, apart from one thing…”

Sakura said, looking at Youran.

The problem, of course, was Youran’s hesitancy. So Taiyou decided to resolve that.

“Youran.”

“Master.”

“Just learn, right here right now.”

“Right now?”

“Yep, right now.”

Taiyou nodded, staring Youran dead in the eyes. He meant that she needed to quit dawdling and just get to it.

“…Okay, I’ll do it.”

Youran gave in, nodding.

And so Sakura and Youran headed for the kitchen. Taiyou finished the remainder of his toast, bacon, and eggs. He sipped black tea as he watched them.

If Kohaku were here, she would have probably made inquisitive comments, but right now, Taiyou’s thought process was exceedingly simple. As of late, he had begun to find himself enamored with the girls getting along together. The harem was taking gradual form, and he enjoyed seeing the six brides work together on various tasks.

Right now, there were two females here. He most certainly wanted to see them side by side cooking in the kitchen, so he gave Youran’s back a little push.

If Taiyou had been alone with Youran, he probably wouldn’t have said anything about this. It was enough just to see her following the recipe. There was no actual need for her to make a presentation.

“First, let us decide on what we will be making. Shingetsu-sama, based on the ingredients in this refrigerator, what do you think we can make?”

“Curry?”

“Mm, that’s a bit on the difficult side. Although the base is set, you could also say that it makes the presentation difficult to set.”

“Yeah?”
