----------------------------------------------------------In Japan, it's quite common for high school students to work part-time jobs. Miyuki Shirogane was one such person, using his free time to work. Due to his family's financial situation, he didn't have many extracurricular hobbies. He chose the "Go-Home Club" so he could ride his bicycle to work right after school. His parents frequently argued, and his mother left home when he was very young, leaving him with the responsibility of caring for his younger sister and supporting himself. School scholarships barely covered his and his sister's educational expenses, so he had to find part-time work to help with the family finances, alongside his father's meager salary.
It was late, and he was finally off work. However, he didn't expect to witness such a breathtaking scene on his way home. That person, it seemed, was his newly acquainted high school classmate, a Philippines exchange student. From their first meeting, Miyuki had a good impression of him—he was very polite. But why did he have to stumble upon this scene? Renz, his classmate, was only in his first year of high school, wasn't he? Was he already in love?
Due to his family's circumstances, Miyuki Shirogane, still a first-year high school student, had always been indifferent to "love." After all, dating was built on money. In a way, dating was for marriage, and marriage required money. With the current economic difficulties and his family's poor conditions, plus his sister needing to study, he couldn't bear the responsibility or another person's life. He might consider such things once he had financial stability. For now, it was too soon.
However... speaking of which... was that Erina?! Miyuki Shirogane's cooking skills were quite good; he was in charge of the family meals. All his culinary knowledge came from cooking magazines at bookstores and live cooking shows on TV, making him self-taught. Erina's appearances were incredibly frequent in cooking magazines and on TV, whenever anything related to food was involved. She was praised by her devoted food fans as the "Queen of Cuisine."
Renz's girlfriend was the Queen of Cuisine?! This information once again shocked Miyuki Shirogane's mind. Was Renz really such an amazing person? And it seemed their actions suggested they had been deeply in love for a long time. Given their level of unspoken understanding, were they childhood sweethearts? Miyuki had witnessed it all: from them walking side by side, saying goodbye at the station, Erina's reluctance to part, then turning back to kiss Renz, and then, as Erina prepared to leave again, Renz embracing her. They were unknowingly served a piece of candy by the couple. However, Miyuki Shirogane himself had a biased view of love and didn't find this candy particularly sweet.
Miyuki Shirogane, who hadn't felt anything special, suddenly froze. He saw that although Renz had released her hand, he continued to stare into Erina's eyes, waving as if saying goodbye, yet standing motionless. He kept... kept... watching Erina's figure as she walked toward the station. And Erina, as she walked, would occasionally glance back and wave again, signaling, "Renz, you can go back now." But Renz remained standing there, simply smiling and shaking his head, until Erina's figure disappeared from his sight. He still watched in that direction.
After a while, Renz slowly left.
That piece of candy suddenly melted in Miyuki Shirogane's mouth. The sight had too strong an impact on him; it perfectly matched the kind of relationship he yearned for and admired in his heart. Renz... he must really love Erina, right? When he first saw the "passionate kiss," Miyuki, who wasn't riding his bicycle steadily, almost fell. But attracted by their actions, he instinctively stopped his bike.
Initially, that piece of candy was hard, and he hadn't eaten it. But after seeing the later scene, this hard candy melted in his heart with a bittersweet emotion. The more he savored it, the more different feelings Miyuki Shirogane had. He didn't have much feeling for dating, which was based on life factors. However, his sister Kei Shirogane had been very fond of reading romance manga lately, and sometimes Miyuki would glance at them. On a spiritual level, Miyuki, still in his first year of high school, also had some vague aspirations for love.
However, having the unique experience of his "mother leaving home after arguing with his father," Miyuki Shirogane didn't feel much about passionate kisses or hugs. That's why he sometimes couldn't help but laugh while reading the romance manga his sister borrowed, with a slight prejudice, thinking such love was too childish. This led to Miyuki Shirogane feeling quite indifferent when Renz and Erina were kissing passionately. However, in the end, Renz seeing Erina off struck Miyuki Shirogane's soft spot directly.
Love is mutual. Miyuki felt Renz's heart burning for Erina, and he also saw the myriad soft lights hidden in Erina's eyes as she kept looking back.
Why did he suddenly want to give them his blessing? On the internet, the usual reaction to seeing couples isn't to want to burn them alive, is it? Miyuki had never paid attention to couples, nor had he ever experienced the feeling of wanting to "burn" them. And the only couple he had ever seen seemed to be Renz and Erina. Yet, all Miyuki could think of was not to raise a torch, but to sincerely wish them well. Their mutual affection was as genuine as a naturally formed raw diamond.
But... the Nakiri family seemed to be both wealthy and powerful. It would be very difficult for Renz to pursue Erina, right? Even if they were dating, there would be many obstacles to marriage. Although they had only known each other for a few days, Miyuki Shirogane meticulously savored these details, the fragments constantly flashing in his mind, making him feel that Renz and Erina were undoubtedly true lovers! Whether it was their excited interactions or their serene glances filled with mutual understanding, it all matched Miyuki Shirogane's imagination of love. No, they were like a newlywed couple, not only inspiring blessings but also envy.
Miyuki Shirogane, who had initially been prejudiced against love, now secretly cheered for Renz in his heart!
Go for it! True love cannot be stopped by external forces! Should he try to help Renz out in some way?
But it seemed Renz and Erina weren't even from the same school. Moreover, for Renz to pass the test of the prestigious Nakiri culinary family, the most basic hurdle must be cooking! He needed to subtly inquire about Renz's culinary skills. Didn't the school recently establish some kind of cooking club? Should he apply to join the cooking club to help Renz with his cooking?
Miyuki Shirogane's kind-hearted nature, upon encountering something that resonated with him and invoked his goodwill, instinctively triggered the desire to act as a "matchmaker" and contribute his small part. Miyuki Shirogane, preoccupied with this thought, found that he had taken several wrong turns on his bicycle ride home, going a long way around.
Today's Erina-Renz couple's rice bowl set meal!

Taste Tester – Miyuki Shirogane, the "pessimist about love," has been captured!
After eating the couple's set meal, student Miyuki Shirogane, the culinary judge, had a flash of inspiration: to become the emcee for the two newlyweds and deliver a heartfelt blessing!
