On with the story
At Sumire Shopping district, people were coming and out as they were visiting an amazing famous diner, called Yukihira Diner
Once owned by Totsuki's Ashura, Yukihira Joichiro, now passed on to his son, Yukihira Soma
The business was booming as everyone wanted a meal there
"Another refill please!" Tomita Yuya, owner of Tomitaya, hollered while raising up an empty beer glass
"yes!" a waiter wearing Yukihira's diner shirt replied as Totsuki's Stagiaire students of the 105th generation was under Yukihira Soma's supervision for their exam
"a Beef stew special!" "a number 3 special!" "I want the secret menu no 20!" orders keep on calling out as the three stagiaire students were pressured even more
"this is hard" one student said to another while carrying around orders
"this is to be expected from the diner of the Indra" one student said as studying and working under a legendary chef is definitely hard
"order up!" a voice hollered from the kitchen as orders were being placed down fast
It was the legendary chef of the 92nd generation, Indra Yukihira Soma himself. The chef was quickly making so many orders that his sous chefs were having a hard time trying to keep up
"a Chef's special?! Coming right up!" Soma exclaimed as he started batting eggs into a bowl and turned off the stove
Flames soon burst out of the stove before Soma place a big metal pan and put in rice, chopped vegetables, chopped up chicken meat, and batted eggs
"Yukihira Dinner special Omurice! Right up!" Soma exclaimed as he presented a fluffy omurice to a customer
"you still got it, Soma-chan!" "that's the third owner for ya!" "I miss this meal!" everyone cheered for Soma as so did the stagiaire students
"it's not much!" Soma exclaimed
eve soon came as the diner was closing
"thank you very much for today, Chef" the three students bid their goodbyes to Soma as they were leaving for their inn for the night
"remember to get some rest, we're preparing the restaurant 5 am sharp, don't be late or you'll fail" Soma said as they nodded before leaving
"alright then" Soma rolled his shoulders around before heading upstairs to take a bath
30 minutes later, finished taking a bath, Soma locked up the diner before heading to the back where there was a red Suzuki Hayabusa parked
He grabs the helmet before riding it as he turns on the engine before driving away
Soma race through the streets as he passes by many cards and trucks before reaching to near Totsuki where the gates open and lets him in
Hitting the gas, Soma instantly speed towards the Nakiri Mansion as the guards had the gates already opened for him
"thanks!" Soma exclaimed riding his bike as the security guard waved at him before closing the gate
Reaching the front mansion, Soma was greeted by a butler who greeted Soma before taking away his bike to the private parking lot
"I'm home!" Soma hollered as he entered in the mansion
"Papa!" a little voice called out as from a corner room as 3 year old Aki runs out and towards her father
"I'm home, Aki!" Soma kneels down and carried up his daughter into his arms
He soon started rubbing his nose with her before giving raspberries
Aki giggles and laughs before Soma carried her up to his shoulders
"where's Mama?" Soma asked as Aki pointed to the room where she had run out
Walking towards the direction, Soma finds Erina in the living room's couch asleep with a story book beside her
Taking light and quiet steps, the two made their way to the sleeping Nakiri Heiress
"E~ri~na. I'm home" Soma whispered as he combs her hair behind her ear and gives her lips a small kiss
Moaning in her sleep, Erina's eyes fluttered open and was first greeted by Soma's golden eyes and loving smile
"welcome home" Erina said with a smile before Soma gave her another kiss on the lips
"tired of doing paperwork?" Soma asked as Erina sat up before hugging Aki who climbed up to her lap
"a little" Erina replied caressing Aki's head "the amount of Stagiare paperwork this year is more than the usual"
"just one more day and it'll be gone" Soma said giving Erina's shoulder a light massage "I'll help tomorrow"
"me too!" Aki cheered wanting to help even though she can't
"thank you" Erina replied with a smile
Heading to bed, Soma and Erina sat on their bed with Aki in the middle as they were reading her a bedtime story
Hugging her favorite bird doll from the day, she was born. She watched and listened intensely to the story of Momotaro being read by her mother and father
"now accompanied by the monkey, the dog, and the pheasant. Momotaro sets out to the demon island to defeat the demons and bring peace to the land" Erina read out the story as she flips a page of the storybook and revealed a drawn picture of Momotaro and his companion heading to the island on a row boat
"why they wanted to defeat the demons?" Aki asked
"it's because they were being naughty, and naughty kids get punished" Soma said rubbing her head
"setting into the island, Momotaro and his companion fought the demons. The dog bites them, the monkey scratches them, and the pheasant pecks them, while Momotaro attacked them with his sword" Erina said as she flipped the next page and revealed the drawing pictures of Momotaro and his companion fighting against the demons
"wooow" Aki said in amazement
"the demons defeated in battle, they surrendered to Momotaro and his friends, giving him all of their treasure" Soma read out the next part as he flips the next page "getting the treasure, Momotaro and his friends went back home to the old couple's home and they lived happily ever after"
Flipping the last page, it shows the drawing picture of Momotaro with his animal friends and family, living happily ever after before there is 'the end' written at the bottom right end of the page
"wow, Momotaro gets to have many shiny treasures with his family!" Aki cheered as Erina placed away the book to the night table
"yes, and they lived very happily" Erina said with a smile
"can we live happily too?" Aki asked
"we're already are" Soma said as both parents give Aki a kiss on her cheeks which got her to giggle in delight
The next day came as the final day for the student's stagiaire
Soma was at his diner, and seeing his supervised students doing the diner work by themselves
"one number 4 special! Two beers! One beef stew with less spice!" Soma exclaimed the orders as they were the cooks who will work
"yes!" they replied while cooking together
"sure working hard, Soma-chan" Tomitaya said while sitting together with other regular customers
"yeah, but mostly them" Soma said with a grin before welcoming more customers "welcome!"
After hours of working, the stagiaire finished with the result of the students passing but now are going to perform a special dish menu for the diner
"one simple task; make a dish that can be put into the menu, that is approved by me" Soma said crossing his arms before hearing a car parking by "oh here they are!"
The door to the diner slides opened as Erina, Aki, Senzaemon, Azami, Mana, Asahi, Alice and Ryo who carried his 2 year old son, Dan who somehow looks exactly like him
"Papa!" Aki squealed running to her father who scooped her up
"thank you for coming, Aki!" Soma said while giving a kiss to Aki's cheeks and started blowing raspberries on her stomach that got Aki to laugh in glee
"looks like the place is doing well" a voice spoke out as Joichiro and Dojima came in next "yo!"
"the legendary chef duo, Joichiro-san and Dojima-san!?" "having to be seen by the entire Nakiri family is one thing but them too!?" "I think I'm going to pass out!" the three chefs started panicking as they never felt pressured in their entire life
"your time is one hour, make a dish that is good enough for my wife's god tongue" Soma said before rubbing his cheeks with Aki's "and my daughter as well"
"yes!" the three saluted before running into the kitchen and started cooking
"have a seat everyone" Soma said as everyone takes a seat at a combined table where Soma started to make some appetizers for them
"dried tuna with pickled honey squid" Soma said as he presented the horrifying dish
"gross but not gross enough" Joichiro said with a grin as he had just taken a bite out of the disgusting dish while in the background, Dojima and Azami had fainted with foam in their mouth because of Joichiro who had forced the dish into their mouth
"I agree with Joichiro" Senzaemon said chewing on the dish "this lack the punch of the usual one"
"you've tasted it before, Oji-sama?" Alice asked while Ryo was passed out from eating the dish and his son was just sleeping on him
"really? I think it's pretty gross enough" Soma said taking a bite and shivers a bit to the taste
"my my, the habit never changed" Mana said with a smile
"I'm glad I didn't get this habit from Joichiro" Asahi said eating some grilled squid
"don't even think about it, Aki" Erina said as Aki was about to reach for the horrid dish
"Aki wants to try!" Aki whined but Erina shook her head
"come on, Erina! Just a little try won't hurt!" Soma said before getting his cheeks pulled apart by Erina "owowowowowow!"
"do you need to be reminded on what happened last time?" Erina asked terrifyingly as Soma had done the gig once to Aki and that made her get a stomach ache for two days
"sowwy sowwy!" Soma said as his mouth was getting stretched apart
Joichiro and the others laughed a bit to the two parents as their little love debate never stops
Aki took a bite out of the dish and instantly sticks out her tongue
"gross!"
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
