Chapter 754 - Erina is cute (1/2)

Erina didn't believe in such a result since she had confidence in her dish, but she also knew the taste of Haru's dish wasn't lost on her, and even better than her. She didn't want to admit it, but she really lost in this battle.

”Alright, don't cry...”

Erina felt a gentle hand caressing her head. ”I - I'm not crying!” Her eyes were red and tears kept coming out from her eyes. She didn't want to admit that she was crying, especially after she lost.

”Yes, yes, you're not crying...”

Haru caressed her back now gently calming her down.

”I'm not crying!”

”Yes, I know.”

Erina didn't move away from him, but somehow she felt quite frustrated when she lost, and at the same time, she knew what it meant to enjoy cooking from Haru.

”....”

Shiina, Kosaka, and Iwasawa who saw the scene in front of them couldn't help but move up and separate them.

”How long are you going to take advantage of Erina!”

---

The cooking competition between the two of them was over, and Haru had said that Erina was a success on her test working in his cafe.

”No, I can't accept this!”

Erina felt that Haru was trying to pity her or something.

”My test is just making a dish that can satisfy me and your venison dish is really good.”

Haru had to admit that Erina's cooking was very good.

”No, I can't accept it!”

But Erina was very hard-headed and didn't want to accept it.

”But it's your last day at my cafe.”

”Do you want me to get out of this place?”

Erina looked at Haru and somehow showed a very sad expression.

”...”

It would be lying if Haru didn't have an interest in Erina since both of them loved to cook and thought that it would be good to cook together and tried a lot of dishes from various places together, but he wasn't sure whether she could accept his three girlfriends.

Even though he had to admit his charm, it was very hard for a girl to share their love with other's girls.

If it was just a normal girl, then it would be very easy since he could just put his d.i.c.k then make them submit, but he didn't want to do that since he felt that Erina was very special and felt the same attraction which he felt toward Sora, Megumi, and Utaha. Even though he had to admit that he also felt l.u.s.t toward Erina since she was a very attractive girl, he wanted to treat her more than that since he felt that she could become her rival in this world.

Rival.

The same as the story on Shounen manga where the protagonist gained power in front of their rival, Haru also thought the same since he wanted to improve his cooking skill, he felt that he needed a rival who was able to match him.

In his opinion, only Erina was able to match up his growth on cooking and that was why he treated her better and even tried to guide her since being on the top was lonely.

”....”

Haru suddenly thought something strange, but he had to admit having both rival and wife at the same time was very tempting.

However, he wasn't in a hurry since he hadn't settled the thing between him and Sora.

”Aren't the people in your home going to pick you up?”

Erina wanted to say something, but suddenly her phone vibrated. ”I'll take this phone.” She looked at her phone and saw that it was her grandfather.

”Grandfather, what's wrong?”

”Erina, I'm sorry, but there is a problem with the car in our house, can you ask Kasugano-kun to send you back home?”

”What?! Wait Grandpa----”

”Sorry Erina, I have some matters. See you at home.”

”.....”

The phone ended and Erina had an expression of disbelief. She tried to call her grandfather again, but it was futile since it couldn't be connected.

---

”Hopefully, it'll make their relationship closer.”

Senzaemon rubbed his beard and smiled gently.

---

”What's wrong, Erina?”

Haru had heard their conversation, but of course, he needed to pretend that he didn't hear anything.

”Ugh... no one is going to pick me up. I'll take a taxi to go back.”

Erina was too embarrassed to ask Haru to send her back.
