"Miss Erina, did you two have a fight?"
Hisako Arato asked with a hint of amusement.
"Eh? No... no such thing."
Erina Nakiri's face immediately flushed, and she said softly.
However, thinking of yesterday's events, she was still furious.
Originally, last night, when Satou carried her home in such a romantic setting, she had hoped Satou would say a romantic word or two. Instead, Satou actually said she was as heavy as a piglet and that she liked to bite like a puppy.
And... and he even patted *there*!
Even now, that spot still felt a bit sore, and walking was somewhat inconvenient.
It was simply infuriating!
Seeing Erina Nakiri's angry expression, Hisako Arato always found it amusing.
For a period, Erina Nakiri had acted very virtuous, like a docile little wife, but unexpectedly, it didn't last for a few days before she reverted to her original, proud nature.
However, this was actually very good. If two people always treated each other with respect and formality, it would become boring after a while. Occasional squabbles would only make their relationship better.
"So, Miss Erina, aren't you going to greet Satou?"
Hisako Arato asked.
"Hmph! I don't want to!"
Erina Nakiri snorted lightly and grumbled.
"Then you've been waiting at the restaurant entrance, looking around, since earlier. Were you waiting for Satou?"
Hisako Arato asked with amusement.
"No... no, I wasn't!"
Erina Nakiri's face immediately flushed, and she said softly.
"Miss Erina, may I come in and sit for a while?"
At this moment, Hisako Arato suddenly asked somewhat sheepishly.
"Eh? Hisako, what's wrong?"
Erina Nakiri quickly asked with concern.
"My feet are a bit swollen today after standing all day yesterday."
Hisako Arato said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Ah! Then quickly come in and rest."
Erina Nakiri quickly pushed Secretary Zi into the restaurant, made her sit on a chair, and then circled around her, asking, "Then Hisako, do you want some water? Or some fruit?"
Facing such an enthusiastic Miss Erina, Hisako Arato felt a bit overwhelmed. However, she looked at Erina Nakiri's feet and asked curiously, "Miss Erina, aren't your feet sore?"
She remembered that Miss Erina had also been standing all day yesterday!
"Eh?"
At the mention of this, Erina Nakiri's face turned red, remembering the scene of her feet being kneaded in Satou's hands yesterday.
Every time she thought about it, her cheeks would flush, and she would feel very embarrassed.
However, after being kneaded by Satou yesterday, she didn't feel any soreness today.
This made her a little touched.
But this feeling of emotion didn't last long, because her little buttocks started to ache faintly again.
Yesterday, that guy took advantage of helping to remove bruises to touch her for a long time!
Touching was one thing, but what was even more hateful was that he twisted it from time to time!
Looking at Miss Erina, whose face was flushed with embarrassment, Hisako Arato was a little surprised and asked, "Miss Erina, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, nothing, it'll be fine after a hot bath when I get back."
Erina Nakiri said quickly.
On the other side, Tor-daren and Kanna also walked out of Kuga Terunori's restaurant.
"Hey, Tor-daren, what is this?"
Kanna pointed at Yukihira Soma's stone oven for baking flatbreads and asked curiously.
"This, huh."
Tor-daren pondered for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "This is also a torture device."
"Torture device?"
Kanna couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, didn't we have a guy in our clan who heated up a huge bronze pillar and then tied people to it to torture them? This should be a similar principle."
Tor-daren explained.
"So that's it! As expected of Tor-daren, so knowledgeable."
Kanna immediately looked amazed. That dragon that bit the World Tree was very famous in their clan.
Yukihira Soma looked at the two cute girls squatting in front of his stall, a little puzzled, but still took out a flatbread, "Here, this is a free sample for you to try."
Tor-daren took it, took a bite, and her eyes immediately lit up, saying, "Well, this is actually quite delicious."
She liked crispy things the most, like senbei, because the crisp sound they made was very similar to the sound of chewing bones.
"Haha, really? Do you want to buy a few?"
Yukihira Soma laughed and asked.
"Fifty, please."
Tor-daren said.
"Huh?"
Yukihira Soma was instantly a little dumbfounded.
...
"Hey, Nakiri, how do you plan to take responsibility? Repeated errors in ingredient reservations and frequent menu changes?"
Hayama Akira asked Alice Nakiri with a dark face.
"What do you mean! Didn't you make the final ingredient confirmation?"
Alice Nakiri shouted angrily.
"Hey, Ryo-kun, what exactly did your boss do?"
Hayama Akira said very dejectedly. These two guys didn't apply for a restaurant before the deadline, then they deceived Jun Shiomi's feelings and insisted on opening a shop with him, which resulted in a mess.
"Well, you'll get used to it, it'll probably always be like this in the future."
Ryo said, obviously knowing his boss's habits very well.
"Today we also have to continue to work hard to make up for yesterday's deficit, understand?"
Alice Nakiri shouted excitedly.
Hayama Akira and Ryo both had expressions of despair.
This guy, is he actually just playing?
Satou returned to his restaurant, where Miyoko Hojo and the others were already waiting.
However, the expressions of the three girls were a little strange.
"What's wrong? Didn't the morning presale go well?"
Satou asked.
The extra thirty seats should be available for reservation at 9 AM sharp.
"It's not that it didn't go well, it's that it went too well."
Tadokoro Megumi smiled bitterly when she heard that.
"Yes, the phones were ringing off the hook. Within five minutes of opening, all thirty seats were booked, but calls kept coming in."
Miyoko Hojo also said helplessly.
"Eh?"
Satou was also surprised, not expecting how much commotion his steamed fish from yesterday had caused among the gourmets in Tokyo.
In just one morning, more than two hundred guests called, wanting to reserve a seat.
