“Oh, right. If I say it like this you should understand. She is famous for being Alan’s master.”
“Yes, it will be 4 dollars. Thank you. ……..The Alan I know?”
“Yes. It’s just a rumour, but it seems like Martin originally wanted to call Rachel instead of Alan.”
Listening to that, he started to see her in a new light. Jo Minjoon glanced at Rachel. And soon, got a chill. Rachel was staring at him nonstop. Her face was filled with a smile, but he felt like he was facing the director when he was still in school.
Jo Minjoon mumbled quietly.
“She won’t hate me because I didn’t let her ring the golden bell, right?”
–
The business proceeded in quite a busy manner. Only for lunch, he had to make rice two more times, and the result of that was that the amount of norimakis amounted to more than 700. It was the best they had sold in one time.
“…….Your absolute taste, it seems like it had quite an effect.”
Joanne said. Jo Minjoon just shrugged his shoulders. It was at that moment. The people who were waiting for them for almost two hours stood up from their places. A gulping sound could be heard. It was Anderson. He was putting a nervous face while sweating cold sweat. He approached Rachel.
“Hello, teacher. I’m Anderson Rousseau.”
“Rousseau? It seems familiar…… oh, are you maybe the son of Fabio and Amelia?”
“Yes. I remember having met you a few times when I was small.”
“Right. I kind of remember. Your parents would be happy. For their only son to grow into this handsome youth.”
Rachel put on a soft smile. Saying that she remembered seemed like she was saying that out of consideration, but Anderson couldn’t stop the corner of his mouth from raising with just that.
It was the first time they had seen Anderson be this excited like a child. So Jo Minjoon could only get more curious. How outstanding could this person, Rachel Rose, be?
Rachel moved her steps. And her feet stopped right in front of Jo Minjoon. He couldn’t even open his mouth and looked at her with an awkward face. She opened her mouth.
“I heard that you have an excellent ability.”
“………Thank you.”
“I’m sorry to have come this suddenly. I felt hurried and I couldn’t stand it.”
“Is there a reason for it?”
She couldn’t just come here so hurriedly because he was a chef with an outstanding ability. Rachel opened her mouth, but closed it again. And after letting out a sigh, she looked at Jo Minjoon, and then at his chest. And after that, she closed her eyes and sighed again. Then, she slowly turned her head to look at the surrounding cameras.
“Of course, I have a something to do. However, it will be difficult to bring it up in this public place. I only want to ask you one thing today. I know that you will feel excused, but can you answer me?”
“……..If it’s not a difficult question.”
“It’s simple. Your absolute sense of taste, are you certain that what you have is that?”
Rachel’s eyes shined seriously. Jo Minjoon couldn’t help but flinch at that moment. It was difficult to explain that what he possessed was the ability of the system, and not an absolute taste. However, it also wasn’t true that he did have an absolute taste. Jo Minjoon slowly opened his mouth. He didn’t want to have her as an enemy, so his voice also became gentler.
“An absolute sense of taste has never appeared until now. So i’m not certain as to what that is. And because of that, I can only be careful when someone asks me if I do have it. I can only feel the composition of the ingredients a little more clearly. That’s the most correct answer I can give you.”
“……….Right. You will. I understand what you are talking about. Then, I will also change the question. I’m sorry. After getting older, I have just gotten stickier.”
Rachel smiled as if she was ashamed. And then, continued speaking.
“When you eat, how do you feel?”
