Kasumigaoka Utaha did not know why Soma Yukihira had suddenly come to mind.
In the original future, Erina and Soma Yukihira should have had a rather good romance. Although Su Yunqing's Memory Copy had not reached that point yet, anyone could see it.
But now, it was hard to say.
Erina Nakiri: "If I hadn't joined the Chat Group, I probably would have had the romance I'd always longed for."
Erina did not deny it. She actually liked reading shoujo manga, and that was reflected in the Memory Copy as well. When she watched her own Memory Copy, there had even been a moment when she felt like she was rooting for the couple.
If she had not joined the Chat Group, she probably would have considered it a beautiful relationship.
Erina Nakiri: "But when I joined the Chat Group, I didn't even know Soma Yukihira, much less have any thoughts of romance."
Erina Nakiri: "Although the Memory Copy has made me somewhat familiar with him, I can only say that I have a little favorable impression of him."
Erina Nakiri: "It's far from love."
Erina Nakiri: "That is still the case even now, and I already have a new goal."
Erina Nakiri: "I want to become the greatest Chef in the Myriad Worlds."
Erina Nakiri: "New cooking methods, special ingredients, unknown signature dishes—those are what I long for now."
Erina Nakiri: "Soma Yukihira... I feel like he would be more suited to Megumi."
Having joined the Chat Group and encountered new worlds, how could she still have the mind to immerse herself in romance?
Unknown dishes, unknown ingredients, unknown cooking methods—those were a Chef's true pursuits. She believed that even if Soma Yukihira were here, he would feel the same.
Utaha Kasumigaoka: "That's more or less what I thought."
