Nakiri Leonora

After leaving Lou, Lou looks at the remaining fish left that is already rejected, he can't help but to feel regret for wasting precious ingredients.

"What's the matter Lou?" Alice asks.

"Cani have this leftover fish?"

"Why? This fish is already a junk ingredient." She said,

"Well... its waste to just throw it away,"

"Just take it, anyway they will not take it after seeing the fish is already a waste ingredient," Erina said.

"Then thanks." Lou waves his hand and uses his Ice Magic to enclose the 2 leftover fish while the staff start cleaning the stage.

Seeing everyone is ready, the committee takes the mic and starts the program.

"It would seem everything is ready, I will proceed to introduce our four judges."

"There's another group of new judges?" Lou asked.

"Of course, this time they come from our own Tootsuki Department, all of them are higher rank people and Nakiri's family members," Erina explained.

"As you don't know, the structures of Tootsuki Academy are broken up into many different divisions, with the Nakiri Family Leader as its head."

"Each division has its own link with the Academy's management, the custom is that the head of those divisions take turns to be the judge for the finals."

"First is the Head Judge, the Academy's director, Nakiri Senzaemon-dono."

"Next is the head of the Tourism Division, we have Doujima Gin-senpai."

Gin Dōjima, 69th Generation Tōtsuki Academy Alumnus, a former resident of the Polar Star Dormitory, and a previous 1st seat of the Elite Ten Council.

He is currently the General Head Chef and a member of the Board of Directors for Tōtsuki Resort.

Gin has buzzed brown hair, noticeably sharp eyes, and his eyebrows resemble sideways "V"s. Additionally, he sports a round, silver stud earring in his left ear. As a staff of the Tōtsuki Group, Gin is wearing his business suit as he is one of the administration members and the representative from his workplace.

"Let me introduce to you the head of the research division, Lady Leonora Nakiri."

Seeing Leonora cous ruckus around.

"Wah…. sh-she's so pretty!"

"Ehr skin is so white"

"Maybe she's from Europe…. She looks like a foreigner."

"Ah mother."

"Your mother?" Lou asked.

"That's right, she's my mother."

Lou looked at her then to Leonora and nodded, they seemed to resemble each other, they really looked like a pair of mother and daughter.

Leonora Nakiri is the Research Division Head of Nakiri International and the mother of Alice Nakiri.

Leonora is pale-skinned woman who is considered to be very beautiful and attractive with lower back-length silver hair that has long bangs split on both sides with a medium-length braid on top of the rest of her hair in the back that she allows to flow freely, red eyes, and small pink lipgloss; many traits that Alice Nakiri inherited.

"Nakiri international was created as Tootsuki's research division, its a scientific organization which use state-of-the-art science to expand the boundaries of the gourmet molecular gastronomy,"

"Amazing." Lou can only feel amazed at this woman, her field of job is more like a scientist but in the gourmet division.

The committee passes the mic to her after the introduction.

"Ahem." ( English )

"H-Hello, M….My name is Nakiri Leonora i live in Denmark, Japanese is difficult so….j-judging? Is hard. But I will try hard!"

Everyone thought,' What a sloppy accent, her Japanese is terrible.'

Lou slightly smiles, making Alice feel angry," Why are you smiling?!"

"Don't be angry, i see your mother is pretty adorable and cute,"

"Hmmhp!" An angry snort then ran towards her mother after the end of the speech.

"Geeez~ mother, if you're coming here, you should tell me beforehand!"

"Alice! This place is off-limits for everyone but the management committee!" Erina said.

"Oh Alice, good afternoon~ Erina-chan good afternoon to you too~ you are in a mad rage as always~" (English ) Leonora teasingly said.

"It's your daughter's fault!!:

Leonora then notices Lou looking at her."

"Perhaps you're Lou Takasu, Erina's fiance right?"

"Yes." Lou gently answered.

"In the first match, you made my daughter angry, in the second match you made her cry, now I'm here. Do you plan to make me angry or cry like her?"

"No I'm not." Lou hurriedly said.

"But still, I was pretty surprised. Alice was so bitter that we had a nine-hour-long international call last day."

"Geez, mother! I told you not to tell anyone about it."

"So she is a crying baby."

"You're right, she is really a crying baby."

"I'm not!"

"I never expected her to cry like that for the first time, I presume you're also a cook right?"

"No." Lou shook his head.

"Really?" She surprised ask.

"Mother, Lou is just a civilian, I only heard that he only cooks for Erina and Erina alone."

"Mao~ I'm jealous, Erina's fiance is cooking for her~."

"I will cook something for you later, after all I got some pretty interesting ingredients."

"Really? Then im looking forward to your dish,"

Lou and Leonora look like they are talking in harmony but Lou can easily tell that she is testing him, as if she is measuring Lou's ability by just talking with him.
