Yeah, there was nothing he could do. Ryuen was just too authoritative!
As for Sudo, he wore an awkward expression.
At that moment, Kamio Tatsuya really wanted to say to Sudo, "Your Majesty, he's messing with you."
"I don't think it's possible to teach Sudo how to cook within two weeks. But since you brought this up, that means she's probably changed her mind, right?"

"That junior seems to know Hirata pretty well."
As he said this, Kamio Tatsuya glanced at Ayanokoji. The implication was clear.
