Erina Nakiri was stunned. What Satou said made sense.
"Maybe you just threw it somewhere and can't find it. I've told you many times to manage your belongings properly."
Satou lectured.
Erina Nakiri's face flushed, and she said, "I… I'm sorry. So, why did you come to find me?"
"Well, I have a small shop, and business is expected to be good today. I wanted to ask you to help out."
Satou said.
"Hmph! I would never work at such a low-class restaurant!"
Erina Nakiri's Tsundere temper flared up again, and she said with a disdainful look.
"One Chansey."
Satou held up one finger and said.
"…Just so you know, I won't work too late tonight!"
Afterward, the two walked together to Satou's small eatery.
The small eatery was not far from Satou's Apartment; it was just a few steps away.
"This is it."
Satou arrived at the entrance of the eatery and said.
"How can you, a Far Moon student, open such a low-class eatery? It's simply bringing shame to Far Moon."
Erina Nakiri started mocking again.
However, Satou was clearly used to the Tsundere's Tsundere temper and bothered ignoring her.
As soon as the door opened, the neighbor, an old lady, came over again.
"Hehe, Su Mu, are you opening your shop again?"
The old lady chuckled, then looked at Erina Nakiri, who was standing beautifully beside Satou, and her eyes lit up. "Is she your girlfriend? She's really pretty."
"No… no, she's not!"
Erina Nakiri's face immediately flushed, and she quickly argued.
"Yes, she is."
Satou, on the other hand, admitted it very naturally.
Erina Nakiri, with a blushing face, glared fiercely at him.
The old lady couldn't help but smile and said, "You two have such a good relationship. Your deceased parents would surely be very happy to know."
"Right."
Satou nodded, chatted with the old lady for a while, and then walked into the shop. Erina Nakiri followed him in, huffing.
"Your job is to serve dishes and collect money."
Satou said.
"I know!"
Erina Nakiri said grumpily.
She had interned in restaurants before, so she wasn't completely without experience.
Satou left the Tsundere alone at the front desk and went into the kitchen to prepare the dishes to be delivered to Kagurazaka-ya.
About an hour and a half later.
"Satou, someone is looking for you."
Erina Nakiri came into the kitchen and said flatly.
"Oh."
Satou walked out of the kitchen and saw a beautiful girl with silver-white hair standing inside the shop, looking around.
Seeing Satou come out, she couldn't help but smile and said, "I thought I came to the wrong place."
It was Izayoi Tsuki.
"So it's you who came to pick up the dishes."
Satou said.
"Yes."
Izayoi Tsuki nodded, then her gaze lingered on Erina Nakiri. The Tsundere was also looking at her at the moment.
Satou sensed that the atmosphere seemed a bit off, so he lightly coughed and said, "Wait for me for a moment."
Then, he turned and entered the kitchen, placing the ten portions of Yangzhou Fried Rice into a takeout box, brought them out, and said, "This is the meal."
Izayoi Tsuki took it with a bit of effort.
"Is it hard to carry?"
Satou asked.
"It's fine."
Izayoi Tsuki smiled, then subtly glanced at the Tsundere, and asked, seemingly casually, "Is she your girlfriend? She's very pretty."
Before Satou could answer, Erina Nakiri on the side lightly snorted and said, "That's right. Are you his classmate?"
"Yes."
Izayoi Tsuki nodded, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, then she looked up and smiled, "Then I'll be going now."
"Be careful on your way."
Satou personally escorted her to the shop entrance, then watched her board the tram.
"Is she your classmate? I didn't realize you cared about her so much."
As soon as Satou returned, Erina Nakiri said, a bit sourly, from the side.
"Huh? Are you perhaps jealous?"
Satou was immediately startled!
The Tsundere was actually jealous?!
Was he dreaming?
"You hateful guy, how could I possibly be jealous!"
Erina Nakiri's whole face immediately turned red, and she cried out in extreme embarrassment and anger.
"Huh? Are you Satou?"
Just then, a surprised voice suddenly came from the shop entrance.
Satou turned his head and saw a beautiful girl with long black hair standing at the shop entrance.
It was Kasumigaoka Utaha.
"Did you open a shop here?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha asked curiously. She wanted to go back to her Apartment after school and unexpectedly saw Satou.
"Yes."
Satou nodded.
"Huh? Do you two know each other?"
Beside Kasumigaoka Utaha, a girl with long blonde hair tied into two long braids behind her head, wearing a sailor uniform, and black stockings covering her slender legs, asked curiously.
Satou glanced at her, finding her very familiar. After a while, he finally remembered: Wasn't this the golden-haired loser, Eriri Spencer Sawamura, from "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend"?
"Yes, we are neighbors."
Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded. Speaking of this, she couldn't help but miss the omurice she had eaten at Satou's Apartment before.
"Let's have our dinner here, shall we?"
She said to Eriri Spencer Sawamura.
"Sure."
Eriri Spencer Sawamura said indifferently.
Subsequently, the two walked into the small shop together and then saw Erina Nakiri standing at the counter.
"Huh? Are you that girl from last time?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha was surprised.
"Who is this girl? Is she the young shop owner's girlfriend?"
Eriri Spencer Sawamura asked. As the daughter of a diplomat, she had attended many aristocratic banquets since childhood and had seen many noble young ladies, but Erina Nakiri's angelic face and elegant demeanor still left a deep impression on her.
"Actually, she is..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha whispered in her ear.
"No way?"
Eriri Spencer Sawamura was startled.
"What a pity, so beautiful, yet she's doing compensated dating."
She said regretfully.
"Indeed, perhaps her family has fallen on hard times."
Kasumigaoka Utaha agreed.
"What would you like to order?"
At this moment, Erina Nakiri walked forward and asked.
Eriri Spencer Sawamura subconsciously looked at the menu, and when she saw the prices, she was immediately shocked.
