The middle-aged man nodded with a smile while sitting next to Rui, so he could see her boyfriend better. "Rui, you have good luck finding such a handsome boyfriend."

"Oh! My name is Jou Mikimoto. Nice to meet you, Shishio-kun." Jou smiled frivolously."......."

"......."Shishio was lost in words since the image of Jou and Akihito were so much different.

Shishio was lost in words since the image of Jou and Akihito were so much different.If Akihito was a prim image of a good husband and wife, Jou was like a playboy even if he was already middle-aged.

If Akihito was a prim image of a good husband and wife, Jou was like a playboy even if he was already middle-aged."Still, be careful, don't get her pregnant, alright?" Jou said while patting Shishio's shoulder.

"But really, how did you two get here?" Jou asked."We're on a date, uncle. We're hungry, so we happen to be here, but I never expected it to be your restaurant," Shishio said. Still, it was quite unexpected to see Rui's actual father in this place.

While Akihito was also Rui's father, he was a stepfather.On the other hand, Jou was Rui's real father.

On the other hand, Jou was Rui's real father."Date, eh?" While Jou had expected this, he was still in shock when he found out his little girl had gotten a boyfriend. He then raised his hand and called the waiter. "Hey, bring me wine! The best one!"

"Date, eh?" While Jou had expected this, he was still in shock when he found out his little girl had gotten a boyfriend. He then raised his hand and called the waiter. "Hey, bring me wine! The best one!""Boss! What are you saying in the middle of the day!"

"Boss! What are you saying in the middle of the day!""Just bring it to me!" Jou didn't take the "no" answer and just wanted to drink right away.

"Just bring it to me!" Jou didn't take the "no" answer and just wanted to drink right away.The waiter could only sigh and give up, but from his action, it could be seen it wasn't Jou's first time doing this.

The waiter could only sigh and give up, but from his action, it could be seen it wasn't Jou's first time doing this."...This is really your restaurant?" Rui had a complicated expression. She knew her father had a restaurant. However, his previous restaurant was under bankruptcy. Now, after a few years, he has a new restaurant. She didn't know anything and only knew now. After all, she hadn't heard anything from her father and just happened to meet him in this place.

Rui and Shishio didn't say much and also started to eat. While they were curious about the foods made by Joe's restaurant, they were also pretty famished, considering what they were doing previously."Delicious! The flavor from the shellfish is so strong!"

"Delicious! The flavor from the shellfish is so strong!""Right, right, right?"

"Right, right, right?""The umami from the Asari clams and mussels and just the right amount of saltiness from the tomato sauce make for an exquisite combination!"

"The umami from the Asari clams and mussels and just the right amount of saltiness from the tomato sauce make for an exquisite combination!""Right?! It's different from the ones you had when you were a kid, right?"

"Right?! It's different from the ones you had when you were a kid, right?""It's incomparable!" Rui nodded, but then she said, "But it's still pale compared to Shishio's food."

"It's incomparable!" Rui nodded, but then she said, "But it's still pale compared to Shishio's food.""Oh-ho?" Jou squinted his eyes while looking at Shishio. "You think this kid is a better chef than me?"

"......." Shishio was lost for words and wondered why the daughter and father had to pull him into their fight."Then, Shishio-kun, can you tell me your opinion about your dish?" Jou asked with a smile, wondering what Shishio was going to say. Still, hearing Rui's praise for Shishio, he knew Shishio might have knowledge over a dish. "By the way, where did you come from?"

"Then, Shishio-kun, can you tell me your opinion about your dish?" Jou asked with a smile, wondering what Shishio was going to say. Still, hearing Rui's praise for Shishio, he knew Shishio might have knowledge over a dish. "By the way, where did you come from?"Shishio wanted to answer but stopped when he heard Jou's other question. "Me? I am from Kyoto."

Shishio wanted to answer but stopped when he heard Jou's other question. "Me? I am from Kyoto.""Kyoto!" Jou was surprised and asked, "Is your home a restaurant or something?"

"Kyoto!" Jou was surprised and asked, "Is your home a restaurant or something?""No, my father is a banker," Shishio said. "But I did learn or two about cooking from someone in Kyoto.

"No, my father is a banker," Shishio said. "But I did learn or two about cooking from someone in Kyoto.

Then can you tell me what you think about the food in front of you?" Jou asked curiously.

"Is that so? Then can you tell me what you think about the food in front of you?" Jou asked curiously.Shishio looked at Jou for a moment, sighed inwardly, and could only tell the truth. Still, he must admit that Jou's food was good since it prioritized the enjoyment of his guests instead of the authenticity of the dish.

Shishio looked at Jou for a moment, sighed inwardly, and could only tell the truth. Still, he must admit that Jou's food was good since it prioritized the enjoyment of his guests instead of the authenticity of the dish.While the authenticity of the dish was a good point of the restaurant, what's the point of it didn't suit the plate of the people in this country?

While the authenticity of the dish was a good point of the restaurant, what's the point of it didn't suit the plate of the people in this country?After all, the people who bought the food were mostly Japanese, not Italian.

"Rui, I approve of your marriage!" Jou said without hesitation."........" Shishio and Rui.

"........" Shishio and Rui.Jou looked at Shishio and asked, "Shishio-kun, what do you plan for the future? Is it a chef? You have learned so much knowledge over it after all." He felt it was impossible for one to research a dish in a detailed manner like Shishio unless he planned to become a chef.

"No, I plan to become prime minister," Shishio said with a smile."......" Jou and Rui.

"......" Jou and Rui.Then, Jou could only laugh, and Rui let out a helpless sigh. It might be their imagination, but they felt this guy could really become a prime minister. Still, they continued their conversation with a light topic before Jou asked, "How is your mother?" His voice was quiet and calm, unlike his previous rowdy and frivolous.

Jou was stunned for a moment before he showed a gentle smile and sigh of relief. "Is that so? That's great.""........"

"........"Shishio only sipped his iced coffee silently and didn't say much about this since those who would feel happy to hear their partner remarried. Even if they hated each other, they would think of them.

After all, there was no clean-cut relationship.It would be great if we could determine those relationships with "like" or "hate," but a relationship wasn't so simple, and it had always been ambiguous. The memories we spent with others were real and weren't so easy to erase.

Rui thought for a moment and said, "...I am thinking about a chef.""Eh? Really?!" Jou was dumbfounded before he showed a happy smile.

"Eh? Really?!" Jou was dumbfounded before he showed a happy smile.Shishio looked at Jou's smile and thought this must be the smile of those fathers, watching their children grow up. He wasn't a father yet. Even in his previous life, he wasn't a father, but he could tell how a father felt happy toward their children.
