Third Person PoV
Yukihira Joichirou closed the shop for 2 days. Young Yukihira Souma was confused. They entered a fancy looking car.
"Pops, where are we going?", asked the red-haired boy.
"We are going to the Nakiri Mansion. We're going to stay there for 2 days and cook for them", explained the father. "Senzaemon-dono wanted me to cook for him and his granddaughter", he added.
"I see.."
"I wonder how she looks like", he thought.
There was silence for 2 minutes. Souma decided to break it.
"Pops, how did you became a great chef?", he curiously asked. The father chuckled at his sudden question.
"I became a great chef, after I met your mother. Sadly, she passed away.", his father replied. Confused Souma, not knowing what he meant, looked at his father with lost eyes. "Listen Souma, if you want to be a chef. Find a woman who you want to dedicate your cooking to.", he added.
"Where can I find that woman?", the clueless boy questioned his father. The father chuckled.
"You can tell it if she makes your heart beat faster."
"Like when she scares me?"
"No"
"I'm confused", said the confused boy.
The father chuckled. "You will find out soon".
They soon arrived at the mansion. Souma's eyes widened. The guards let them in and they were greeted with an old man wearing a yukata.
"WOAH HE IS OLD", Souma screamed. Old Senzaemon laughed at his first impression.
"I see, your son has the same attitude as you", the old man chuckled.
"Souma, go to the kitchen and wait for me. You can cook anything there. I will have a long chat with Old Man", said Joichirou.
"Hai!"
Nakiri Erina's PoV--
Apparently, grandfather invited some guests. He said they are chefs. I want to walk around the hallways.Wait, what is that smell coming from the kitchen?
I looked at the kitchen. I saw a red-haired cooking. Are we in the same age?
"Etoo... ano... ummm...", I said. It smells good.
"Oh, you must be that old man's granddaughter. I'm Yukihira Souma, nice to meet you.", he introduced while reaching out his hand.
WAIT DID HE SAY OLD MAN
I hesitated.
"Ah.. you seem the type of person who doesn't trust someone easily"
"How did you know?", I asked.
"Well, I have been on the kitchen since I was three and I have handled alot of customers. Strangely, I can see through what you are feeling. For example, I will serve a customer. If I look in the eyes of the customers, I can see if their emotions.
Like heartbroken, inlove, happy, sad, excited, tormented, abused, etc."
"Pops, told me I was weird", he said while smiling and scratching the back of his head.
He is so cute and cool- WAIT WHY AM I ADMIRING SOME ONE I MET LIKE 6 MINS AGO I AM NAKIRI ERINA INHERITER OF GOD TONGUE AND I WILL BE THE HEIR OF THE NAKIRI FAMILY-
"You seem to be denying something"
"Nonono, I was just thinking", I defended.
He finished cooking. "What did you cook?", I asked.
"Furikake Gohan"
what.
"HOW DARE YOU SERVE ME A LOWLY DISH"
"But its not a regular Furikake Gohan..", he added. I turned around to face him. He served the counter I was leaning on.
"It is the Yukihira-style Transforming Furikake Gohan", he said proudly. "Try it"
I tried it.
It feels like there is a pianist who is playing a beautiful sonata while I am dancing under the cherry blossoms, bare footed on the grass.
A stupid lowly Furikake Gohan made me want to dig in a hole and hide in it forever when he asked me how was it.
"How was it?", he asked me with a giant grin on his face. His face is like 5 inches away from her face. HOE DARE HE GET CLOSE TO ME-
"How was it?", he asked again.
"It is...
"d...
-elicious"
WAIT.
...I WAS SUPPOSED TO SAY DISGUSTING NOT DELICOUS
"Happy to serve!", he said while he removed the white cloth tied around his head.
"Oh, I see you already met Erina-chan"
His father entered the room.
"Ahhh, Erina is your name... how cute"
CUTE?!
I blushed.
"Souma, let's start cooking", his father told him.
"Hai!", he answered quickly.
I studied their similar features. Before I know it, they started cooking.
They are so in sync.
Me and grandfather are waiting at the table, while Souma and his father served the dishes. Apparantly, grandfather is already stripping.
I tried everything.
It feels like my tongue is brutally attacked by strong, deep flavors. I didn't know that I was smiling the whole time...I'm having fun..
Dinner ended and we went to our rooms. Souma is staying at the guest room. I want to visit him. Apparently, I like Souma but I cant accept it. My heart beats faster when I am with him. I never acted like this before.. I used to be high, all might, cold Erina but I can't act like that when I am around I don't know what to do. I know all of this because mother told me it is love. I should tell grandfather.
I went out of my room and walked across the hallways. Apparently, grandfather and Souma's father is still talking. So, I approached them.
"What is it Erina?", grandfather asked.
I can't believe I'm doing this. I only met him like 8 hours ago.
I whispered to grandfather's ear, "etoo.. umm... grandfather... I think I like Souma". Grandfather's eyes widened. It looks like it is filled with... joy?
"I know I only met him like 8 hours ago but I like him. I never felt this way before...It feels like I want to be with him forever even though I am 5 years old only", I added.
Grandfather swiftly stood up which startled me.
"I will now explain why I called you and Souma here, Joichirou", he said.
Joichirou-sama's eyes were filled with confusion.
"I wanted to make Souma and Erina meet. I thought they would make a good match since Souma's determination pairs well with Erina's perfection"
"I promised to myself that if they like each other I will let Erina marry Souma", grandfather declared.
"WHATTT ARRE YOU SERIOUS YOU ARE GOING TO LET MY BRAT MARRY A N-N- NAKIRI ERINA?", Joichirou-sama asked.
"Erina, confess to Souma later or tomorrow. If you don't want to be with him together, don't confess"
"What is confess?", I asked.
"Tell him how you feel about him and ask him about what he feels about you"
"Okay"
I walked away from the an adult blurting a hundred questions at an old man.
I knocked at the guest room.
"Come in"
I opened the door. I saw him writing something at a notebook.
"Erina?" "What are you doing here?", he asked.
"I don't know. What is that?", I tried changing the subject. I blushed.
"Ah.. This is a notebook about the battle between me and Pops", he explained. "So, what do you want, Erina"
"Eto... ano.. I want to give you something"
"What is it"
I gave him a red bracelet with a name on it.
Nakiri Erina
"I gave it to you because I want to tell you something"
"I... like you.."
"If you like me too please wear it"
THIS WRONG ABORTABORTABORTABORT IM REGRETTING THIS--(Senzaemon is looking at the window with Joichirou)"This is too cute and innocent", Senzaemon said to Joichirou. Joichirou was crying.
--'yukihirasouma_exe stopped working'
Souma wore it and he is blushing like crazy. He basically wore it and froze. His hair has the same color as his face.He finally moved and hugged me.

1..
My face lit up.
I heard crying men on the window. I opened and see grandfather on the floor collapsed (crying) while Joichirou (crying) is swinging in the chandelier, screaming 'ITS TOO CUTE IM GOING TO AGREE TO THE MARRIAGE'.
The servants were freaking out especially Hisako when she found I was not in my room. I can hear her screaming in thr corridor, "ERINA-SAMAAAAAAA".
Souma and I stared at each other and smiled. We looked at our red bracelets and we both have names on it.
On my bracelet, Yukihira Souma is written on it.
On his bracelet, Nakiri Erina is written on it.
The day ended.
Souma's PoV--
Erina and I played for the whole days, telling secrets and stories, tickling each other, running around the halls, feeding her with lots of my food and teaching her my little recipe.
And...
Its about the time we say our goodbyes. Erina was crying and her aide is freaking out. I tried my best to stop her crying by hugging her and patting her head. Pops and Old Man is hugging each other with happiness while looking at us. They are screaming, "I, 100% AGREE ABOUT THIS MARRIAGE".
Erina wanted to take a picture with me. We were alone in the picture blushing at each other.
"Don't forget about me", she said. I chuckled at her.
"I will never", I said.
"Goodbye, Erina"
"Goodbye, Souma"
I rode the car and forever waving at her in at the window.
5 minutes later, I whispered
I miss her already.
Joichirou heard it..
Souma, you already found your woman at age 5. You found it so early.--
