After the operation was successful, mom was shifted to ICU ward. She was still unconscious.
At early morning 4:00 A. M we return to our home and sleep together.
When I woke up to go towards the bathroom, then...

[Hello Host]
As I was about to awake after a peaceful sleep, a floating transperant blue screen appeared in front of me.
I almost scream in joy for having my cheat unlocked but I held back thinking about it's just morning and dad and gramps are still asleep after a tiring day.
Unfortunately, it didn't come with a tutorial or a sexy fairy system girl, but that's all right for me. Something was better than nothing.
'Status' he thought as another prompt appeared.

Oh, there was some good skills, but they are not related to cooking so basically useless, but that 'Inventory' thing, if i think what that is, then I am in luck.
'Still if I remember correctly, there are 5 years left, until dad sends me to Totsuki according to cannon story. I have 5 years to learn, thats probably enough to be at the same level as Eishi Tsukasa when I enter Totsuki high school division.' I thought, as a grin surfaced on my face.
As for what to cross only time can tell.
But I didn't remember, I have USD or EURO in my possession.
Well whatever.
I laid down and fallen asleep, as I also stayed late at 4:00 A. M. Until mom (Tamako) was shifted to ICU ward after surgery.
At noon, I woke up, noticing that gramps and dad are not beside me, I already know that they have already woken up.
Thinking that it's weekend, so dad may probably, open the Diner next week.
Upon making my way into the kitchen area, I found dad and gramps are preparing food for ourselves to go to the hospital.
"Oh! Soma, you are awake. Help me open up the shutters real quick." Dad (Joichiro) said as gramps prepared the ingredients.
"Sure thing. By the way Dad, can I borrow some of your old cooking books from Totsuki?" I asked as i make my way out of the kitchen.
*Clang! *
Other than the sound of kitchen utensils falling, silence reigned in the diner for a few moments.
"W-what did you say?" Dad (Joichiro) asked in shock and disbelief, his voice was low but audible. Gramps was also in similar state of shocked science.
"I want to borrow some of your old cooking books from Totsuki?" I continued, unperturbed by their shock.
"What for? and how did you know the name Totsuki?" Dad (Joichiro) asked, composing himself.
"Dad, I never asked that doesn't mean I don't know anything. You got calls from various countries they talk in various languages, also your photos with various foreign people, and most of all your photo with Totsuki resort's general manager Gin Dojima. It's internet generation dad, it only needed two minutes, to figure out that you are former 2nd seat of council of ten." Although i just bluffed with my knowledge of manga, but looking at Dad's (Joichiro) expression, it somehow worked?
Dad (Joichiro) was shocked and asked, "Why now? Judging from your expression, you know this long ago?"
"Dad, mom won't be able to come back at kitchen. So from now onwards so, I'll be the one who will fight you in a cooking battle, and one day for mom, I'll defeat you and for that I only have 20 years or less so I can't waste a minute." I said with determination.
The grandfather and father pair in front of him stood in silence before it was quickly broken.
"Soma..... You have grown up. But to surpass me who have lived more than thrice your age, it won't be easy to defeat me. For all you know, you might never catch up. You are aware of that right. Are you ready?" Dad (Joichiro) said tests my determination.
"That's a possibility. Though, dont underestimate me old man." I said confidently as a smirk came to my face.
"I'll surpass you sooner than you can imagine!. For mom's sake I'll defeat you." I declared with pride.
