"It’ll take some time for me to move out of Totsuki," Erina said, taking a deep breath. "During this period, I’ll have to rely on you to take care of Mashiro."

"Even when I’m not here, Mashiro will still need to bathe, right?" Erina continued.

Her words conveyed a heavy sense of trust. It was clear that Erina believed in Renz’s moral boundaries, trusting him not to engage in any improper behavior. "I think that if Renz feels very satisfied and content with our relationship, he definitely won’t have strange thoughts about anyone else," Erina added, her gaze fixed on him as if awaiting his response.

"Extremely satisfied, incredibly content," Renz said wholeheartedly. Ever since Erina’s tsundere (aloof) personality had softened, her dere (affectionate) side had become utterly adorable.

"Then I can confidently leave Mashiro in your care. I trust Renz’s moral boundaries," Erina said with a smile.

"Don’t worry, my dear wife! I guarantee I’ll complete this arduous task! Nothing can stop my ambition for you," Renz thought to himself, reassuring her silently.

Five minutes later, in the bathroom, steam filled the air. Mashiro Shiina, stripped of her clothes, sat motionless in the bathtub, soaking. With a towel on her head, she seemed unaware of the usual modesty that others would show in such a situation. She stared blankly at Renz and Erina, who were helping her bathe.

"Erina, where does Mashiro study?" Renz inquired.

"A nearby academy that mainly teaches art," Erina replied succinctly. "During the day, you’ll be responsible for taking her to school and picking her up in the evening. But once I move out, we can divide the tasks."

"How is this any different from raising a daughter?" Renz asked, amused.

"There’s a difference. In some situations, Rina would give you dirty looks, but Mashiro won’t," Erina commented.

"Not giving dirty looks can be a good point? You’re quite biased against your daughter!" Renz countered, smirking.

However, their conversation turned serious. "Hmm, there’s something I need your help with, Erina. I’ve already rented a storefront for a restaurant."

"Do you have time? I’d like to schedule a God’s Tongue review," Renz continued.

The words hung in the air, and Erina struck a seductive pose. Over time, Erina had developed certain alluring traits. She subtly licked the corner of her lips, her gaze holding Renz’s.

"You need my tongue’s help?" Erina said with a teasing smile.

Renz, momentarily flustered, coughed. "Who could resist that?"

"However, a God’s Tongue review usually requires the entire judging panel to be present. No matter how high my evaluation, the judges still need to taste it. Has your cooking skill returned to its original level?" Erina asked, probing.

"As for my cooking, aside from being a bit rusty with tools and lacking in knife skills, my control over dishes and ingredient preparation is fine. My cooking speed may be slower, but the standard should still be around seventy percent," Renz answered honestly.

"Seventy percent? That’s more than enough to handle the judging panel," Erina said, relieved. "When do you want me to review?"

God’s Tongue reviews fall into three categories: when a program invites Erina to review the standard of a restaurant, when a chef or restaurant owner invites her, and when she voluntarily conducts a review without payment. Erina, due to her high standing in the culinary world and her family background, had significant influence.

"This weekend," Renz said confidently. He knew his cooking would stand out, and with Erina’s help, it would gain recognition more quickly.

"Then it’s set for this weekend," Erina agreed. She paused her actions and turned to Mashiro Shiina. "Mashiro, you’re clean, you can come out now."

Mashiro stood up from the bath, her reasonably good student figure fully visible. Erina instinctively raised the towel in her hand, blocking Renz’s view. She helped Mashiro dry off, and when the girl emerged from the bathroom, she was already dressed.

Erina, acting like a diligent housewife, washed her hands and went to brew tea for both Mashiro and Renz. Time was ticking, and she had to leave soon. She reluctantly gathered her things, sensing Renz’s concern.

---

Sitting on the sofa, Renz noticed Erina’s slight reluctance.

"Are you leaving?" he asked.

"Yes," Erina said with a spirited smile. "It’s fine, we’ll have plenty of time to meet later. We’ll even see each other again this weekend." She stood up, gathering her things.

"I’ll walk you part of the way," Renz offered, concerned.

"Okay," Erina nodded. The two walked out of the apartment together.

"By the way, did you teach Mashiro to call me ’brother-in-law’?" Renz asked, breaking the silence.

"Yes, I told Mashiro to call you ’brother-in-law,’" Erina said with a smile. "Did she really call you that? Then I’m even more relieved."

"Mashiro is as pure as a blank slate. I hope you don’t corrupt her," Renz teased. Erina had mischievously battled with their daughter, Rina, before.

"You just make sure you don’t corrupt her!" Erina retorted.

As they neared the station, Erina stopped.

"You don’t need to see me off," Erina said with a smile. "I’m not so hopeless that I can’t find my way home." She waved, preparing to leave.

"I’m leaving now!" she called out, walking away.

Renz stood still, watching her retreating figure.

But just as Erina had taken a few steps, she suddenly turned around and returned to Renz’s side.

Renz lowered his head. Erina pecked him lightly on the side of his face, like a dragonfly touching the water.

"An alluring temptress!" Renz thought, as Erina pulled back with a brilliant smile.

"This is your reward; be satisfied!" she said, before winking. "Remember, the person you’re dating is me, Erina!"

Just as Erina was about to get into the car and leave for Totsuki Academy, a pair of arms embraced her from behind.

Renz planted a kiss directly on Erina’s lips, surprising her.

"Erina, you also need to remember, the person you’re dating is me..."

"RENZ!" Erina exclaimed, flustered.

At that moment, a boy riding a bicycle nearby saw the scene and nearly fell off his bike.
