Kitahara Chiba was stunned for a moment, then asked carefully

"Does a housekeeper need to cook?"

"This is not necessary. After all, Miss Kaguya has many private chefs who cook all kinds of dishes every day."

Hayasaka Ai touched her chin and gave a negative answer.

Kitahara Chiba was relieved. He didn't hate cooking, he just hated cooking all the time.

It was for this reason that he gave up his job as a chef.

At this time, Hayasaka Ai continued

"But sometimes those chefs will inevitably make ingredients that Miss Kaguya doesn't like, and this is when you need to step in."

Hayasaka Ai looked at Kitahara Chiba with a look of entrusting her with a task, although her expression basically didn't change.

In fact, Kitahara Chiba felt that Hayasaka Ai and Kato Megumi in front of her were very similar.

Both of them seemed to have no expression. You know, even cold ladies like Shinomiya Kaguya and Yukinoshita Yukino will have certain changes in expression, but these two people basically don't.

But compared to Kato Megumi, Hayasaka Ai's emotions are still richer.

"I know a lot about cooking."

Kitahara Chiba puffed out his chest slightly. If he only needed to cook occasionally, then he would be the contemporary chef god!

"So that's it..."

Hayasaka Ai nodded slightly and pointed to the kitchen.

"Prove it to me!"

Kitahara Chiba looked in the direction of her finger and found that there was actually a small kitchen in the room.

"The ingredients are all complete."

Hayasaka Ai stood up

"I need to know your cooking skills. Sometimes, Miss Kaguya is very difficult to deal with."

After saying that, Hayasaka Ai sighed softly, as if she was thinking of some bad experience.

Kitahara Chiba became interested. Could it be that the seemingly perfect lady could be difficult to deal with sometimes? There was a sense of cuteness in the contrast.

"Can you tell me about it?"

In line with the human nature of pursuing gossip, Kitahara Chiba asked this question, and Hayasaka Ai shook her head

"You will know when the time comes. Come with me."

Hayasaka Ai limped towards the kitchen, and Kitahara Chiba followed.

The kitchen was not big, but it was very clean. It seemed to be cleaned regularly. There was a small refrigerator.

He opened it and saw that there were all kinds of ingredients inside.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want."

After saying that, Hayasaka Ai moved a small stool and sat by the window in the kitchen, as if she was going to just watch.

Kitahara Chiba didn't care about this, although he was a little uncomfortable.

Looking at the ingredients, he had an idea in his mind about what to make.

Sukiyaki. It's very simple to make, and it suits the taste of the islanders, although the Hayasaka Ai in front of him looks a bit like a foreigner. He found a casserole in the cupboard, turned on the gas stove, and heated the casserole. Spread butter evenly on the bottom of the pot, put in the beef that looked very high-end and grilled it slightly. Heat sugar, soy sauce, and wine.

Then put in the vegetables.

In the order of shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, green onions, cabbage, and grilled tofu, make sure that the mushrooms can be cooked while releasing all the freshness.

After a full pot of ingredients was placed, a little chrysanthemum was put in the middle.

"It's arranged very nicely, and it looks very good."

Hayasaka Ai nodded and picked up a small notebook to record it.

""Hayasaka!"

The door was suddenly pushed open, accompanied by a crisp and pleasant sound.

Kitahara Chiba was startled, and his hand holding the pot lid shook and almost dropped it to the ground, but he immediately covered the pot.

The essence of delicious Sukiyaki lies in the grasp of time. He, who is already LV4, will never make low-level mistakes.

After doing all this, he raised his head and looked at the door.

Shinomiya Kaguya just pushed open the door, seemed to be very anxious, and strode in.

But when she found that Kitahara Chiba was looking at her, Shinomiya Kaguya paused, walked to Hayasaka Ai in small steps, and shook her body.

"Hayasaka, why is Kitahara-san here?"

"Kaguya-sama: Love is War...I am...Test his cooking skills...Don't shake me, my leg is still hurt."

Hayasaka Ai was shaken so much that her speech was intermittent, but her expression remained the same. I don't know if she had lost hope or was just used to it.

"Oh, sorry."

As if she remembered this, Kaguya Shinomiya quickly let go of Hayasaka Ai and said hello to Chiba Kitahara.

""Ms. Kaguya, good evening."

Kitahara Chiba imitated the butler's lines he saw on TV and bowed slightly.

He has his own integrity. No matter what job he does, he must do his best and be professional.

On the way to becoming a perfect person, he must be perfect!

Looking at him, Shinomiya Kaguya was stunned, and Hayasaka Ai, who shook her head, also said at this time

"Kitahara, you don't have to be like this, just act like you normally do."

""Okay."

Kitahara Chiba nodded, then lowered his head to check the temperature of the sukiyaki.

Damn, so shameful, I will never imitate TV dramas again!

The humiliated boy swore in his heart.

Shinomiya Kaguya also breathed a sigh of relief and sat next to Hayasaka Ai.

"Hayasaka, I just want to talk to you about your work. I have considered what you said. Kitahara can stay, but can he be replaced by someone else?...What is that? It smells so good."

Shinomiya Kaguya was halfway through her words when she suddenly twitched her nose

"I just said that I was testing his cooking skills, but it really smells good."

Hayasaka Ai also took a deep breath. She originally thought that the presentation was just a little bit good-looking.

Kitahara Chiba also got rid of his shame and started to introduce

"This is the traditional Kansai style of sukiyaki, which emphasizes the original flavor of the ingredients."

Puff~Puff~Puff~"

The pot began to boil, and hot steam came out from the holes in the lid.

The aroma filled the room even more intense.

Hayasaka Ai took a deep breath again.

"Miss Kaguya, do you want to wait until you finish eating?

She was a little hungry, and the aroma was too tempting.

""Okay."

Shinomiya Kaguya nodded. She hadn't eaten dinner either, and her stomach couldn't help but protest when she smelled the aroma.

The two of them fell silent.

After a while, Hayasaka Ai asked

"Can I eat it now?"

"It will take another minute for the umami flavor of the mushrooms to fully evaporate."

"So precise?"

Shinomiya Kaguya was shocked. It's ok for Western food to be precise, but is Sukiyaki also so precise?

"Only precision can create delicious food.

Kitahara Chiba said slowly, and a line of small words appeared in front of him.
