( since soma ' s mother died early in his life , mana nakiri is like a mother figure to him )
( i'm also pretty bad with making recipes , so just go with it , ok ? )
* PRESENT *
" Today was pretty underwhelming , to be honest . " Soma said while removing his whole - face mask .
" I wouldn't say that , Soma , you're just too gifted . " Joichiro let out a chuckle .
" Please , there were only like 31 customers per hour on average , usually we get 45 - 60 . "
" You could tell the difference ? It felt like there were still 50 , honestly Soma . " he grinned .
They discussed while they were cleaning the whole restaurant , a pretty new one at that .
T.Y Buffet was shown on the front of their new restaurant . What it stood for ? Neither Joichiro nor Soma would ever answer that . Some people thought it stood for Thank You , but oh was that kilometres away from the answer .
*KNOCK KNOCK*
" Must be Mana , I'll get the door . "
As Soma slides the door open , a familiar face smiles as she sees him .
" Afternoon , Soma . " she said with a neutral tone .
" Afternoon , mum , why'd you come late ? "
" Had to take care of Alice and Ryo again , they were arguing over who was the better cook and I had to be the judge of a Shokugeki . But I ended up gagging at both of their dishes . " she said while rolling her beautiful magenta eyes .
" Yikes , well , what dish d ' you want me to make ? " Soma asked .
" Hmm . . . Well I need something heavy since I just threw up any food I had before . . Some curry with rice doesn't sound too bad as of now . " Mana explained .
" A ' ight , I'll cook up some curry . "
As Mana observed Soma ' s cooking stance , she admired him , how young he is , but yet he left Mana Nakiri , The Bookmaster of W.G.O , satisfied .
After 20 minutes , he served up 3 portions of chicken curry . 1 for himself , 1 for Mana , and 1 for his beloved father .
As usual , Soma and his father usually never have any foodgasms , or at least they don't show it .
Unlike Mana , who threw her head back and let out a long , loud moan ( luckily the walls are sound proof ) . Her lower region always got hot whenever she tasted Soma ' s cooking . He never seems ceases to impress Nakiri , even after years of tasting his scrumptious food .
" Soma . "
" Hm ? "
" You ' re at the age to attend Totsuki , ya gonna take the transfer test ? " Joichiro questioned .
" ' Course I am ! What d ' you take me for ? A coward ? "
" Haha , never expected any less of you . "
" Well , honestly I think that Erina ' s gonna be the judge for the transfer test . " Mana said .
" Yeah , well she is the God Tongue after all . "
" Well , I gotta head back to Shokujidokoro Yukihira now . " Joichiro grunted .
" So soon ? Why can't you stay here for the night , it's already pretty late . " Soma asked .
" Hm . . . . " Joichiro glanced at his watch .
" Well , you're right , I'll stay here tonight . "
" Ooh , can I stay too ? " said Mana .
" Ya sure mum ? "
" Yeah , don't you have to go home or something ? " his father asked .
" No , I don't have any significant worries as of now , for your information . " she said , in an attempt of mimicking Joichiro , puffing her cheeks up and in a lower voice .
Joichiro scrunched his nose , turning his emotion into a judgemental face .
