Variety shows on screen are quite diverse these days.
There are quiz-type variety shows, where contestants answer questions, and the more questions they answer, the more rewards they get. These are considered educational variety shows. There are also talent shows. Renzās previous participation in [Midnight Chef] could be categorized as a talent show. In addition, there are dating, music, artist battle, outdoor competition, talk, and other music-focused shows.
Among the variety shows on the market, prank shows are more popular with the Japanese audience, but Erina is different from an ordinary celebrity. Regular celebrities donāt mind being pranked at all; they genuinely donāt care.
Especially idol artists, theyāre not a stable asset. One batch might be popular for four or five years, and then a new batch of idols, with factory-produced looks and talents, can emerge.
But Erina is unique.
Can you find another "Godās Tongue" outside the Nakiri family?
You truly canāt.
Furthermore, Erina not only possesses the "Godās Tongue," but her own skill in the culinary world is outstanding.
For such a special talent to participate in a variety show, the appearance fee is relatively high. Erinaās added bonus is that sheās also quite beautiful. The person on the other end of the phone, who extended the invitation, was truly flabbergasted. Perhaps this is what a truly wealthy family is like; an 80 million Japanese yen per episode fee is considered insignificant in their eyes.
Whether they come on the show doesnāt depend on how much money is offered; itās purely about whether they want to come and have some fun on the show.
After hanging up, they dutifully sent their show proposal.
Others are desperate to appear on variety shows to
boost their popularity and fame.
But these two, it seems, donāt need that kind of buzz, nor do they lack money. With nothing wanting, their willingness to appear on the show solely depends on their mood.
Sighing, the person shook their head in resignation as a colleague glanced over.

On the other end.
Renz had returned.
If he had tolerated his father-in-lawās actions earlier, heād probably be feeling more and more frustrated now. Instead, he felt refreshed.
Getting the better of his father-in-law had made him happy.
"Erina, Iām home," Renz said, kicking off his shoes in the entryway. Rina, whom Erina had forcefully brought back earlier, clumsily crawled over, staring at Renz with sparkling eyes.
"Hmm, youāre home? How did things go over there? You
won, right, as expected?" Erina was extremely confident in their cooking.
"I won, but your dad, he really has issues," Renz couldnāt help but grumble a few words. After all, he was home, and some things needed to be vented.
"What did he do this time?" Erina was intimately familiar with her fatherās bottom line. She could easily imagine him trying to cause trouble during the judging.
However, since Renz won, it seemed her fatherās actions hadnāt significantly impacted the outcome.
"He tried to lay down some ground rules and put on airs, but it wasnāt a big deal. I talked back to him," Renz shrugged. "I just wanted to tell you so you wouldnāt be upset."
"Itās fine. Youāre not the type to actively seek trouble, and heās long since disassociated himself from our Nakiri family."
Erina pursed her lips and said, "Aside from blood relations, I have nothing to say to him."
Compared to Azami Nakiri, Erina genuinely considered Renz more of a family member.
However, since Erina still shared a blood connection with Azami Nakiri, no matter how much she disliked him, Erina still had to maintain some politeness and courtesy.
If she were impolite or rude, people would slander the Nakiri familyās reputation, affecting their honor.
The Nakiri familyās upbringing was not so poor.
But Erina was delighted to see Renz thoroughly embarrass her father.
She couldnāt directly confront her father, but that didnāt mean Renz couldnāt.
"Oh, right, a domestic show just contacted me about a collaboration. Theyāre offering 80 million Japanese yen per episode. Is that a reasonable price?" Erina brought up the business matter. fгeeš¤ebɳoveÉ.cĆøm
Erina had been involved in various on-screen activities
since she was very young, but most of the profits she earned were either donated to charity or given to her grandfather.
Senzaemon Nakiri usually handled the contract negotiations.
Erina wasnāt sure what a normal price was.
80 million Japanese yen translates to five million RMB. Getting 500 thousand Dollars for one episodeās recording would greatly alleviate Renzās current financial pressure.
Renz thought about it. He wasnāt against going, but it depended on the other partyās attitude. If they were arrogant in inviting them to the show, he wouldnāt go, no matter how much money they offered.
There would definitely be various demands and requirements for them on the show, and perhaps there would even be pre-designed script scenarios for them to
act out.
That kind of situation would be truly not worth it.
Renz had experienced a lot, including times when he had to stoop to make money. That method of earning money was very difficult; he earned the money, but he also suffered the indignity.
Now, Renz not only wanted to make money but also to earn it with dignity.
Moreover, Renz was well aware of Erinaās standing in Japan; these variety shows wouldnāt be able to find a second Erina.
If these variety shows truly valued Erinaās fame and popularity, and didnāt humble themselves before them, Renzās suggestion was to rather not go than to earn money so humbly. Variety shows were just a quick way to make money, after all.
"They sounded very polite," Erina recalled. "I asked them to send the proposal and program details, and they sent everything thoroughly right away."
"Let me see." Erina opened her phone and logged into her work LINE account.
"The name of the show that first invited us is āKoi no Challengeā (Challenge of Love)," Erina said, looking at the entire proposal.
"The content is to evaluate the sweetness index and marriage stability of each couple or husband and wife participating in the show through various tests."
Renzās mouth twitched slightly, "It sounds like a coupleās or celebrity version of truth or dare."
"These interactive segments look very interesting," Erina said, pointing to an example of interactive content. "It seems like they want couples to do everything they would do at each stage of a relationship."
"Thereās even a wedding dress fitting experience."
"However, for someone like me whoās already married, it
would be like wearing a wedding dress again," Erina sighed.
"Actually, our wedding ceremonies were interrupted every time, and we never got to finish them," Renz
mercilessly exposed.
However, Renz also sensed Erinaās āresentmentā; she genuinely wanted to experience wearing a wedding dress.
Wearing the wedding dress from the closet at home was clearly not satisfying enough for Erina.
"I want to go, Husband, I want to go!" Erina reached out and hugged Renzās arm, shaking it. "I really want to go! Please come with me!"
This was Erinaās most common way of acting spoiled.
Using words and body language in combination.
The effect... was undeniable.
Ah, Iām dead.
Renzās heart was heavily pierced.
"Alright, alright, weāll go, but we need to read the contract carefully. Donāt let them trick you. In addition to the contract, add an extra clause... In case of any unforeseen circumstances, we have the unconditional right to withdraw from the show," Renz pondered for a moment before saying.
When itās time to be assertive, you still have to be assertive.
Going on a show for fun, having this contract clause provides more room for maneuver.
At least the production team wouldnāt dare to play any tricks on them.
