“Whoaaa”

“This…is so…soft”

Their reaction brought a smile to Ogura Yuna’s face.

“Really? thank god. This is my own work.”

“New work..?”

“Yes. I traveled around the country when I was young to make this”

“..Hmm? Mmm? When you were young?”

Ogura Yuna opened her mouth as if annoyed by Suzume’s leering gaze.

“I’ve been to China, Europe, and even the United States.”

“…Really?”

“It’s true. Because I’m serious about meat. I’ve wanted it since I was young. Cooking the best dish was my dream.”

“Huh, so you made your dream come true and opened a store?”

Ogura Yuna’s hand that was cutting meat stopped for a moment at Suzume’s words.

Ogura Yuna’s eyes darkened for a moment.

“Well, what do you think happened to Ms. Kawasaki?”

With a mischievous smile, he handed the sliced meat to Suzume.

“Mmm…mumbling”

Suzume, who had been chewing the meat handed to her, swallowed it.

“Dream. I think you’ve already achieved it? Hi-Hi. It’s so delicious”

“..Really? Hoho”

It seems that Yuna Ogura quickly fell for her unique friendliness.

I cut the meat while listening to the conversation between the two people.

It’s soft.

I have never eaten meat at this price in my entire life.

Let’s put it in our mouth first.

I’m not interested in the history of making this.

For a moment, my eyes widened.

The moment you chew, the juice bursts out into your mouth.

Huge amount. To capture this much moisture from meat… the flavor is no joke.

What about the beef I ate in my past life…

All I can think about is what I want to do.

Everyone seems to be eating frantically, wondering if I’m the only one who felt this.

Shota’s nose is already touching the plate.

Kanna, sitting next to him, like Shota, has her head down, as if eating dog food.

It’s like a dog and a cat.

The two people had a similar vibe.

“So! Did you meet him then?”

“Hoho. that’s right. Then my husband came up to me and said, ‘I will protect you!’ Ho Ho. You say something like this, right?”

“Wow”

“It’s not as big a deal as you think, right?”

“No! very! It’s romantic, Ogura-san. I’m jealous!”

Why has it already delved into my personal life?

no. Let’s not think too deeply.

“Sasaki. Have you tried this? It’s so delicious!”

Inaba showed off the picture he had taken on a fork and held it out proudly.

You know you’re eating the same thing as me, right? Inaba

I may not have any particular intention, but you weren’t too defenseless.

Meat stuck on an unprotected fork.

For a moment, I stopped thinking and did it through action.

“Really? Where”

bout-

I took a bite of the gently tempting piece of meat.

hmm. My head nods involuntarily.

It was soft and the seasoning was spread evenly.

“Umm. That’s right. It’s delicious”

“Eh…?”

“Inaba, you eat too. This was delicious”

Sasaki also put Sasaki in Inaba’s open mouth.

Roasted Asparagus.

For your information, I am careful not to eat vegetables when eating meat.

“How about it? Are you okay?”

“Um!”

Mew mul mul.

Looks a little embarrassed.

When you realize that what you put in your mouth is a vegetable, your face changes from embarrassment to anger.

I spoke first before Inaba got angry.

“large. It’s good to feed each other, but Inaba. Still, you have to pay attention to what’s around you.”

“Um?”

“Let’s stop feeding them. There are club members and”

“Yes..? Black. Give me back my meat-”

“..Shota is also watching”

Her head turns in surprise at my last words.

A seat on the other side of the table.

Fortunately, Shota has his nose buried in his plate.

Sasaki was relieved and laughed at Inaba’s anger.

“Sasaki! Really!”

“Joke”

It was a joke, though.

The reactions are quite dynamic, so it’s a lot of fun to tease them.

By the way, it wasn’t intentional, but Inaba’s actions just now.

I still have heart.

That’s not good for me.

Clearly, Inaba cares about Shota.

Well, it may be speculation.

Is there really a need to look surprised at a man I don’t even care about?

I don’t really feel betrayed by something like this.

It can’t be helped that Inaba’s feelings are still uncertain.

Shota is a man who has been with her for decades.

On the other hand, I am a man who suddenly came between the two.

The depth of time is different.

I’m still a few steps away from saying that we’re dating.

A relationship that is still ambiguous, somewhere in between dating and flirting.

Because he is the man who crossed her fence in less than a few months.

If I say something to her about my childhood friend and relationship, there is a risk that I will be cut off.

It’s love and friendship.

It is difficult to say which is higher.

There is nothing wrong with it.

It’s too much to expect to make and break things in an instant.

Above Inaba’s head.

I raised my hand.

Of course, that’s the thinking.

Even if you understand reason, emotions do not go back to reason alone.

What I’m going to do now is nothing more or less than childish.

He carefully placed his hand on her head and stroked it.

Like lovers.

And so on until she takes her eyes off Shota and looks at me.

Put your hands down.

forehead.

Eyebrow.

eye.

ridge of the nose.

cheek.

Lips.

Inaba, who had been paying attention to his surroundings, was at that point as well.

The gaze returned to me.

“You better be careful. Inaba.”

“…”

gulp-

“How long… Because I don’t think I will pay attention”

＊＊＊

“I’m so full…hehe”

“…I’ll eat it next time too..”

I turned away from Kanna, who was saying the usual scary things, and looked at Suzume.

A figure stretched out on a chair.

It looks like a blanket left on the drying rack after being put in the washing machine.

“Suzume, I have to study now”

“…Ssam..Please look…Ahh! Suddenly I have a chronic illness!”

“Don’t say nonsense”

“Hiing. I’m not the only one who feels this way…”

“…I’m full…”

“Keuugh..”

Perhaps because it was a course meal, it took quite a while to eat it all.

Others are avoiding my gaze, as if they agree with Suzume’s words.

Say it with words.

Both Shota and Inaba’s stomachs seem to be churning as if they’ve eaten to their limit.

Inaba suddenly brought his hands together in front of me at my blatant gaze.

“Why, why..?”

“No. hmm. I feel like I just saw a garden, Inaba”

“Oh, isn’t it? …It’s completely…a field…”

“So…?”

“Sa..slightly..?’

Shaking my head, I looked at the chef.

Yuna Ogura opened her mouth as she put away the used knives.

“I’m glad. If you want more, please let me know, Sasaki-san. I will provide you with special service.”

“Thank you, but my stomach is already full”

“..Really? Sister”

“Suzume Then. I’ll give you more. Just say it!”

“Ah…I’m happy…but…but it’s impossible. sister. I’ve already filled it to the limit… it’s full.”

“Can I have dessert?”

“..If I eat any more here, I’ll explode”

While flirting with Inaba.

When did we stop talking and become closer to my older sister and younger brother?

hmm

You became friends with a stranger in just one hour. suzume

If you go into a service career, you will conquer the world.

In fact, the main character in the world is not Shota, but isn’t there a separate title called Service King Suzume?

“Ah. Ogura Yuna-san?”

“Well, you can call me whatever you want. Sasaki-san. He’s my younger brother’s homeroom teacher”

“…Ah..Haha…Well, then…I’ll call you towards the castle. For some reason, I like this one more”

“You can call me whatever you want. Sasaki-san”

“..Then. Despite the shame…um…Miss Ogura?”

“..sheep?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. You look young. I was rude without realizing it.”

I smiled as she covered her mouth with her hand.

Social life begins with appropriate flattery.

In fact, she looks believable even if she is the older sister of the girls I just brought in, so I don’t feel uncomfortable at all.

That’s why the outfit and appearance are so unconventional.

“Ogura-san, I will stop by often. I feel like I’ve become a regular.”

“Oh my. thank you. He will like it too”

Let’s ease the conversation moderately.

I took a bite.

“Is there something like a regular membership here?”

“Regular..membership..?”

A membership that allows you to charge money in advance and then use it.

By providing a discount on a certain portion of the recharge amount, customers can save money.

From the CEO’s point of view, it is a good one-one method because a large sum of money comes in at once, which frees up funds.

Additionally, in my opinion, this is the most appropriate strategy for conquering Ogura Yuna.

I reviewed what I had in mind.

A simple three-step plan.

First, once a month I regularly go to the store and spend a month’s worth of money in advance.

Second, the store is stabilized by relying on my money through a few regular payments.

Lastly, when you feel a sense of stability, cut off regular payments.

The worst thing is that once you taste it, you can’t get rid of it.

I was confident that her complexion had brightened significantly compared to before when she heard that she had a membership.

Isn’t it difficult to enact? Ogura Yuna.

There are no problems with the implementation of the plan.

Anyone can do it.

Nevertheless, in terms of difficulty, it is a prize.

Although the words and the level of difficulty are opposite, there is nothing we can do about it.

This means that this store in the middle of the city needs to make enough money to stabilize and sustain itself.

That level of financial power is a necessary condition.

“Yes. We are planning to hold regular meetings starting next week. Ogura-san”

Her face becomes brighter.

“First of all, I think it will be once a month.”

“Ah..then..how much”

I have to give up cup noodles until the midterm exam.

It’s a luxury to me.

Let’s get by with school meals.

“50,000 yen..”

“So many! Really, Sasaki-san!?”

“Yes. sure. I plan to gradually increase it in the future. It’s still my first time”

Tomoda, the owner, is seen coming out of the kitchen due to the commotion.

His face brightened, probably because he heard his wife’s voice, and he came closer.

“Jeong, is it true? Sasaki-san?”

“Haha, of course. Tomoda-san. Could you please calculate this first?”

“Yes, yes! I’ll get it done right away. Rest in peace.”

Yuna Ogura is seen kneeling next to Suzume and whispering.

My ears are itchy.

Um…I can hear everything, but Ogura-san?

“Su, Suzume?”

“Yes… sister?”

“Perhaps… I don’t think I’m asking this, but… Sasaki-san. Do you have a lot of money at home…?”

“Umm..well…”

“I guess so. sorry. I asked something pointless. I am also a student”

“Ah… now that I think about it… the other day… when the teachers were talking, I heard that Sasaki-sensei… is… the heir to the family!”

Yuna Ogura’s body stiffened as she tried to get up.

She, who had many dreams, ended up being a slave to the golden sun of capitalism.

No one can escape this.

As long as civilization doesn’t disappear, so do I.

“!…Yeah, really?”

As soon as Suzume finished speaking, Yuna Ogura’s head turned and looked at me.

The gaze is so hot.

The look in your eyes that says you must catch it.

It’s not bad, but it’s important.

If I finish calculating now, I also have no money in hand.

Cold sweat flows down.

Should I really go to a pawn shop?

But I can’t think of anything worth selling.

Because it was clever.

I sold everything I could to make money to move.

If there is at least one…!

William was sold and bought like that. My Rottweiler.

Is this right…

Sell half my soul?

Is that really the right choice?

“!”

She sensed something bad in my expression and came over to me and covered my face with both hands.

“You don’t look good. Are you okay? Confucius?”

“Let’s buy”

Well, it’s just scrap metal.

I’ll definitely go find it later.
