"The fish will be done in 13 seconds; the terrine should be done setting and the confit should be plated already!" I instructed the chefs in the kitchen.
"Yes Chef!"
*Ding ding*
"One shiromisakana consomme, one spring terrine and one confit de canard."
****
"Otsukaresama deshita."
"Otsukaresama, ki wo tsukete ne" I praised my sous chef for the evening and closed and locked the door of the restaurant heading to the car where Tamotsu Yoshihiro was waiting for me.
"Tadaima Tamotsu-kun"
"Okaerinasai Kamiko-sama, busy day?"
"Isn't it always? So, did Otou-san call? Any messages?"
Tamotsu is my aide, bodyguard and attendant that stays with me 24/7. He's been assigned to me when I was 12 and he was 18 by my Otou-san, but he was trained ever since I was born so we knew each other my whole life. We're comfortable with each other but he's still formal as always, but I guess that's just who he is.
"No Dōjima-sama didn't call but your brother Gin-sama did, and he said that he won't be able to see you this month."
"..Again..." I look out the window watching the upper-class stores of Tokyo go past.
"Ojou-sama you know how busy he is, He's- "
"An alum of Totsuki Academy, General head chef and Board of Directors member of Totsuki Resort, I know. I just... I thought that I would be a bit more important than that. For once..." And with that the rest of the car ride was quiet.
As Tamotsu drives into our large driveway to my family's mansion, I see a car parked out front. We have specific number plates for cars for family members of the Dōjima house but this car has a different plate showing that it's from a different family. I exit the car after Tamotsu opened the door for me.
"Ojou-sama you have a meeting before your day is cleared of appointments"
I enter the house leading the way to my office with Tamotsu following, my office was across from Otou-san. When I'm in my office the hair at the back of my neck stands on end, the powerful presence coming from the seating area. I walk towards the seating area and finally see the person hiding behind the wall, a person who I haven't seen since I was five.
"Senzaemon-san? Ohisashiburi"
"That it has been a long time Kamiko-san, eight years."
San? Why so formal? "Do you want some tea?"
"No, I'll have to be on my way soon"
"Oh, so what can I do for you?"
"You father has arranged for you to enter Totsuki Academy as a transfer student. So, you must complete the entrance exam and when you pass, you will go to the entrance ceremony tomorrow."
". . . – What?! Why do I have to go to Totsuki?"
"It was you father's decision. He thought that you may make some friends, and if you learnt something new there then he would be happy that you went."
"Like I need friends, he wants me to get good grades like Onii-san so that I can help bring the rating of the family business up further like when Onii-san did."
Senzaemon-san is silent while looking at me with a blank face showing me that I was right on the ball.
I sigh "Well arguing with him about it is pointless so how about we head to the kitchen to start the exam?"
Without a word I stand and leave to room and head to the fully stocked kitchen downstairs, Senzaemon-san following behind me.
