If it were before, Erina Nakiri might not care about this participation spot, and it would even be possible to give it to Alice.
But now, knowing her grandfather's sacrifice, she felt that she needed to do something.
The younger generations of the Nakiri family are not cowards who only know how to hide behind adults.
Nakiri Erina took a deep breath, then looked up at Luo Shu and said:
"The question Alice asked is also what I want to ask."
"Minister Luo, can I sign up for this scientific research?"
Hearing this, Luo Shu looked at Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri with a strange look.
What's going on? Why are the fish in the Nakiri family's pond still willing to take the bait?
I'm not Luo Taigong, so why would I play the game of willing people taking the bait?
While complaining in his heart, Luo Shu still answered their questions:
"Normally, the third generation of the Nakiri family would indeed have a spot."
Hearing this, Alice Nakiri opened her mouth, her expression suddenly filled with guilt.
In contrast, Erina Nakiri looked relaxed, as if her spot had already been secured.
Yes, with only one spot for the third generation of the Nakiri family, no matter how you think about it, it will be Erina Nakiri, the next head of the family, who will get the spot, right?
However, Luo Shu's words broke their thoughts:
"Under normal circumstances, Ms. Alice should be able to receive a call from Chef Dojima soon."
"After all, the next head of the department is Chef Dojima."
"Me?" Alice Nakiri stood up suddenly, making Luo Shu not know where to put his eyes.
Miss Alice, please pay attention to the occasion!!
"Wait a minute, why isn't it Erina?" Nakiri Alice asked Luo Shu without caring about anything else.
Erina Nakiri on the side opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopped herself.
She also wanted to ask why it wasn't her, but because of the shame in her heart, she didn't dare to speak out.
Now, with Alice as her substitute, Erina Nakiri felt relieved.
At this moment, Luo Shu glanced at Alice Nakiri, then closed his eyes, pretending to take a hot spring bath, and said:
"In terms of ability, Miss Erina is indeed better."
"But from a scientific research perspective, you are more qualified, Alice."
"Eh~~"
Alice Nakiri was surprised, and then she quickly showed off to Erina beside her:
"Erina, look!"
“This is a professional evaluation from a professional!!”
"This time, you really can't beat me!!"
"....Are you a child?" Erina Nakiri couldn't help but mutter.
Although she complained, Erina Nakiri was still happy for Alice.
After all, it was a rare occasion that my cousin defeated me.
Although she was somewhat unwilling, Erina had to admit that Alice Nakiri was indeed better than her in her understanding of modern science.
This is something that Erina Nakiri has always been aware of, so she does not feel resentful.
After all, when it comes to cooking, Alice is still just a 'sister'.
However, Erina Nakiri didn't expect that she would lose here.
“That shouldn’t be the whole reason.”
After the words fell, Nakiri Erina and Nakiri Alice looked at Fujiwara Toyomi at the same time.
At this time, Fujiwara Toyotomi asked Luo Shu with a smile:
"There must be a more important reason why Erina-chan wasn't chosen, right?"
There is no reason why the head of the Nakiri family cannot come into contact with the mystery, but the head of the branch family can. This is the basis for Fujiwara Toyotomi's statement.
As expected, after Luo Shu glanced at Fujiwara Toyoshi, he immediately said:
"Indeed."
"There is another reason why Mr. Nakiri had to arrange it this way."
"Eh?" The smile on Alice Nakiri's face froze: "So I didn't win by my own ability?"
Seeing Alice Nakiri's expression change from elation to disappointment, Luo Shu couldn't help but smile:
"But Ms. Erina lost because of her own abilities."
Erina Nakiri was stunned when she heard this, and then she suddenly realized something:
"Is it because of... God's Tongue?"
"Yes." Luo Shu looked at Erina with a little surprise, as if he didn't expect her to react so quickly: "Some special ingredients in SDS have an extraordinary stimulating effect on the Tongue of God."
Luo Shu did not say what the specific stimulation was, but the two eldest daughters of the Nakiri family could guess the consequences.
After all, many female heads of the Nakiri family have suffered from the side effects of the God's Tongue.
Hearing this, Erina Nakiri murmured to herself:
"So, that's why mom went to America..."
Alice Nakiri looked at Erina, feeling a little worried.
"Erina..." Alice Nakiri opened her mouth, but didn't know how to comfort her.
Alice has hundreds of ways to make Erina Nakiri angry, but she doesn't know how to comfort her.
Fortunately, Nakiri Erina got over her emotions quickly. In a short period of time, she controlled her emotions and thanked Luo Shu:
".～Thank you for your explanation."
Seeing this, Luo Shu glanced at Erina Nakiri and said immediately:
"The Nakiri family's talent is not without control."
At this point, Luo Shu kept it a secret, smiled and shook his head, saying:
"Forget it. I'm afraid the Nakiri family can't afford that kind of price."
After saying that, Luo Shu stood up from the hot spring.
"Ah hey hey!!" Alice Nakiri couldn't help but scream and quickly retreated.
At this time, Luo Shu walked towards the exit and said:
"I'm done soaking, you guys go ahead. I don't think we'll be able to see the moon tonight."
After Luo Shu walked out of the hot spring pool, Nakiri Alice blushed and walked back to Erina, saying indignantly:
"What?! What do you mean by can't afford the price? You didn't say anything, but you know we can't afford it!"
After saying that, Alice Nakiri patted her red cheeks, and couldn't help but recall the outline she had just seen. She shook her head and cursed inwardly:
"Damn guy!!"
At this time, Erina Nakiri frowned. She always felt that Luo Shu seemed to have hidden meaning in his words just now.
Thinking of this, she looked at Fujiwara Toyoshi with some uncertainty: "Ms. Toyoshi, what did Mr. Luo Shu mean just now?"
"Eh? Erina, are you going to Shu-kun's place to watch the moon tonight?" Fujiwara Toyomi looked at Erina Nakiri with shock.
"No, I didn't say that." Nakiri Erina waved her hands quickly, her cheeks flushed as she said, "How could I..."
"Ah, midnight, night, room..."
Erina Nakiri thought of something with a shudder of fear. She raised her head abruptly and looked at Fujiwara Toyomi, only to find that the other person had his eyes closed, leaning against the rockery with a comfortable look on his face, as if he was seriously enjoying the hot spring.
No way?
Erina Nakiri swallowed.
If grandpa finds out, my legs will be broken...
Chapter 332 Is She a Devil?
It’s 11 o’clock in the evening, when everyone is asleep.
Luo Shu sat on a wooden bench, looking at the still brightly lit Yuanyue Palace not far away, and also looking at the half-moon in the sky above the palace.
"Ah, my Lord is here after all~"
Fujiwara Toyomi walked slowly through the wooden aisle, his wooden clogs making light tapping sounds.
Luo Shu turned his head and immediately saw Fujiwara Toyomi, wearing a light blue kimono with a camellia pattern, walking slowly towards him.
"?!" Luo Shu glanced at Fujiwara Toyoshi with a hint of surprise, then smiled and said, "Ms. Toyoshi can't sleep either?"
"Just call me Fengshi."
Fujiwara no Toyotomi took the small fan given by the imperial palace and covered the lower half of his face with it. His eyes were full of smiles, like crescent moons:
"Are you disappointed to see that it's me and not Miss Erina?"
As she spoke, she walked over to Luo Shu, gently dusted off the wooden chair, then sat down and said with a smile:
"After all, the weather forecast clearly said that it was a day for moon viewing, but Mr. Shu deliberately said that the moon could not be seen tonight. If I think about it for a moment, I know that Mr. Shu was hinting at a place to view the moon, right?"
Fujiwara Toyomi said this with a playful smile:
"So seeing that it was me, 127, instead of Miss Erina, you must be a little unhappy, Shu-kun."
At this time, Luo Shu looked at the sky and said with a smile:
"Not really. Quite the contrary. I'm in a pretty good mood right now."
After that, Luo Shu added: "After all, hiding in the forest and looking at the moon alone sounds very lonely."
"Oh, is that so?" Fujiwara Toyomi laughed, "Then, in order to make Shu-kun look less lonely, can I sit next to you?"
Hearing this, Luo Shu turned his head and looked at Fujiwara Toyotomi with a rather strange expression:
"Fengshi, you wouldn't..."
"What could it be?" Fujiwara Toyomi asked curiously.
At this time, Luo Shu said subtly: "Just now at the hot spring, did you do that on purpose?"
David was surprised when Fujiwara Toyomi heard this and said, "Huh? Did Shu-kun mean to deliberately mislead Erina into going to your room at night?"
"I mean to take Erina and Alice together in the bath... Wait, what did you say?"
Luo Shu suddenly felt something was wrong and looked at Fujiwara Toyoshi in surprise:
"Who do you let into my room at night?"
"Of course it's Erina." Fujiwara Toyotomi used a small fan to cover the corners of his mouth that were about to curl up into a crescent shape: "After all, those two kids don't often play brain teasers, so I briefly explained the meaning of what Mr. Shu said."
"Did I explain it wrong?"
Hearing this, Luo Shu looked at Fujiwara Toyotomi with hesitation, and finally sighed and said:
"Are all the women of the Fujiwara family demons?"
Fujiwara Toyotomi was a little surprised when he heard this: "Hey, has Shu-kun also been teased by Chikako?"
"That's not the case." Luo Shu shook his head, and then added: "But I have seen Qianhua teasing others."
"Ah~" Fujiwara Toyomi suddenly realized something, then said with a smile: "Shu-kun seems to like Chika very much."
Luo Shu, who always felt that there was something fishy about this statement, immediately raised his eyebrows: "Can I understand this statement literally?"
"You can, but I don't recommend it." Fujiwara Toyomi smiled like a little devil, "Now it's time for reading comprehension, Mr. Shu, the education in the Celestial Empire likes this kind of test questions, right?"
Luo Shu's mouth twitched, and then he said with a smile: "This kind of test question depends entirely on the mood of the person asking the question, right?"
Fujiwara Toyotomi smiled and said, "Then can you read my current mood?"
