Hearing the commotion, Nakano Yu looked toward the door and saw three people in Police Department uniforms, with bandit-like expressions on their faces, arrogantly walking inside.
"Yu…"
Katsura Kotonoha, who was beside him, also tugged at his clothes, her expression not looking good at all.
"Yes, I know."
Nakano Yu nodded, and a faint light flickered briefly in his eyes. Just as the young man intended to turn the three into pillars of salt, the appearance of a figure stopped him.
"We already paid the rent for this month. Itsuki asks, what else does Captain Yasuda want this time?"
A woman dressed in a dark blue waitress uniform, with short hair and a face that somewhat resembled Saionji Sekai, but with a much more mature charm than her, stepped forward.
That woman's name was Youko Saionji. She was Saionji Sekai's mother and the owner of the restaurant Radish.
"No, we are certainly not here because of money. We are here because of my son's marriage. I wonder what Miss Saionji thinks about it? My son is very much in love with your daughter. As long as Miss Saionji agrees, we can get engaged immediately."
"And if Miss Saionji has no objections, you can bring your daughter to live in my house. My son and I will surely welcome you with open arms!"
Seeing that Youko Saionji had appeared, the fat man named Captain Yasuda immediately put on an ugly smile, rubbing his hands and leaning his body against the counter, while his lecherous gaze slid over Youko Saionji.
Hearing this, the smile on Youko Saionji's face froze, and for a moment she did not know how to respond.
From the very beginning she knew what the fat man in front of her wanted, but she had never said it openly.
She was only a woman, and she had a daughter, so she had always avoided conflicts with people who had even a little power.
After all, Youko Saionji knew well the saying: it is easier to deal with the king of hell than with his minions.
"Excuse me, I don't like your son. Please leave."
At that moment, Saionji Sekai stepped forward, shielding her mother behind her and looking coldly at Captain Yasuda.
"Oh? If I remember correctly, you girl attend Toyonosaki Girls' High School, don't you? The owner of that school is a good friend of mine. Tell me, if she has a talk with your principal, will you be disciplined?"
Seeing that Saionji Sekai dared to reject him, Captain Yasuda's face darkened, and his tone was full of threat.
Hearing this, Saionji Sekai did not waver at all.
"That's only a disciplinary measure. At worst, I'll leave school. In any case, don't even think about it. Stay away from us!"
As long as she could remember, Saionji Sekai had never seen her father. Her mother, Youko Saionji, had raised her alone. Therefore, even if she had to leave school, Saionji Sekai was willing to protect her mother from harassment.
Moreover, the son of this fat man had a mental disability, and his highest level of thinking was at the level of an eight-year-old child. How could he possibly appeal to her when they had barely even met?
From what she had seen recently, this fat man came every time trying to force her and her mother to move to their house, with obviously bad intentions.
"Girl, I warn you to be polite to your elders! Otherwise, I have the right to teach you a lesson!"
Captain Yasuda was used to being arrogant and overbearing. Today, having been publicly humiliated by such a young girl, he lost face and pointed at Saionji Sekai, cursing roughly.
"Leave immediately! Otherwise, we will call the Police Department! You were the ones who harassed people first, and many guests in the restaurant can testify."
Kiyoura Setsuna also stepped forward, took out her phone and pretended to call the police. However, as soon as she finished speaking, the guests who had been watching the scene quickly lowered their heads. For them, it was better to avoid trouble, and that fat man was obviously not someone ordinary people could afford to offend.
Faced with Kiyoura Setsuna, Captain Yasuda was startled at first, but then burst into laughter. He looked at his two colleagues behind him and said:
"Do you hear what you're saying? Ah, little sister, go ahead and call the Police Department and see whether they arrest me or you."
Seeing how insolent Captain Yasuda was, Kiyoura Setsuna was left speechless. She also knew the identity of the other party, but for ordinary people like them, without any power or connections, this was truly the last resort.
"Little sister, I think you're quite good too. How about coming with uncle today? Working part-time in such a small, shabby place is nowhere near as good as…"
After sizing up Kiyoura Setsuna, Captain Yasuda showed a lecherous smile and reached out to grab her. However, just as he stretched out his hand, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.
Before Captain Yasuda and his two lackeys could react, the young man suddenly appeared next to Captain Yasuda, grabbed his round head and, with a casual motion, shoved him. The large body seemed to have suffered a heavy blow and slammed directly onto the floor.
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, Captain Yasuda's eyes rolled back and he lost consciousness.
"Captain Yasuda!"
Seeing this, the two lackeys panicked and reached toward their belts, but stopped halfway through the motion, looking in shock, disbelief and resignation at the identification card the young man showed.
It was the identification of a General Superintendent, which meant that the person who had just struck someone had a direct connection with the top of their hierarchy!
"Nakano Yu…"
Looking at Nakano Yu who had suddenly appeared, Kiyoura Setsuna's eyes flickered, but the young man did not linger. He gave Kiyoura Setsuna and the others a reassuring look and gestured to the two lackeys to pick up the fat pig from the floor and leave.
The two did not dare to hesitate and quickly dragged Captain Yasuda outside.
However, after a short while, Nakano Yu returned to the restaurant.
"It's fine, I talked a little with them and they already left."
Returning to the table, Nakano Yu noticed the worried looks from Kiyoura Setsuna and the others and explained it with a smile.
Hearing this, Saionji Sekai let out a deep breath, and her gaze toward Nakano Yu was filled with gratitude.
"Nakano, thank you."
Kiyoura Setsuna also thanked Nakano Yu. This was already the second favor she owed him. Although today's Captain Yasuda was not targeting her, Nakano Yu ultimately helped them out of a difficult situation.
"Setsuna, do you know this young man?"
Seeing that Kiyoura Setsuna actually spoke the young man's name, Youko Saionji was somewhat surprised.
She had thought he was just a guest who could no longer stand watching and intervened. Originally, she was worried about whether the other party would suffer consequences for hitting someone. If the young man got into trouble because of it, their family would truly owe him immeasurable and unrepayable gratitude.
"Yes, he is a classmate from Shuchiin Academy."
Kiyoura Setsuna nodded, watching Nakano Yu return to his table and calmly continue eating lunch, then pressed her lips together.
Mother and daughter Saionji also looked at the young man, each with her own thoughts, but it was unclear exactly what they were thinking.
"What did Yu do to those three people?"
Seeing that Nakano Yu had returned, Katsura Kotonoha asked softly, curiously. However, as soon as she finished speaking, Nakano Yu tapped the girl on the nose with his finger.
"We're eating. Don't mention such unlucky things. Kotonoha wouldn't want to know."
"Oh, alright."
Seeing that Nakano Yu did not want to talk about it, Katsura Kotonoha did not insist further. Even so, she already had a rough guess in her heart.
Perhaps those three people had completely disappeared from this world. Katsura Kotonoha felt nothing about it; she had also hated those three from earlier. However… Nakano Yu was today the hero who saves the beauty.
Biting into the small silver fish, Katsura Kotonoha's gaze imperceptibly shifted toward the counter. At that moment, only Kiyoura Setsuna remained behind the counter, and her gaze occasionally drifted in their direction, obviously looking at Nakano Yu.
Nakano Yu was truly popular.
She sighed inwardly and Katsura Kotonoha no longer paid attention to Kiyoura Setsuna. That was not something she could control, and even if she could, she herself would have dealt with those three people.
The fact was exactly as Katsura Kotonoha had imagined. Not far from the restaurant Radish, Nakano Yu used Sodom's Eyes to turn the three people into pillars of salt, and then shattered each of them with a kick before leaving.
He decided not to act inside the restaurant Radish mainly because Radish was a restaurant. If he killed people there, it would not only affect the business of the Saionji family, but killing that scum there would also somewhat affect Kotonoha's appetite. He did not care about himself, but making Kotonoha feel disgusted was out of the question.
Speaking of which, it was time to use the Wing Contract on Kotonoha. After all, in this world, the sooner Kotonoha gained the ability to protect herself, the more at ease Nakano Yu would feel.
While the young man was thinking about this, Youko Saionji brought a freshly fried dish and placed it on the table.
"…This is a thank-you to Nakano-kun."
Seeing the young man look up at her, Youko Saionji's pale cheeks flushed, whether from shyness or because the kitchen was too hot, making her exceptionally attractive.
"You know me?"
Nakano Yu was slightly confused when he heard Youko Saionji address him by his surname.
"Yes, Setsuna told me. But I know the person beside Nakano-kun. That's Kotonoha, right?"
Youko Saionji nodded, then looked at Katsura Kotonoha as she spoke.
When she first saw Katsura Kotonoha, she felt she looked familiar, and only when she approached closer with the dish did she recognize her.
Youko Saionji and Katsura Kotonoha did not actually know each other, but she knew Katsura Manami. Katsura Manami often came to her restaurant for dinner and frequently talked about her daughter, even showing her photos of Katsura Kotonoha.
"You know me?"
Hearing this, Katsura Kotonoha was confused. She did not remember ever meeting the woman in front of her, and this was even her first time coming to the restaurant Radish.
"Yes, I often hear your mother mention you."
Nodding, Youko Saionji looked again at Nakano Yu and said:
"Thank you very much for today, Nakano-kun. It's just that unfortunately, we cannot offer you any compensation… If Nakano-kun has no objection, we could exchange contact information. Radish will always be free for you two!"
Youko Saionji said this while taking out the LINE application, with a sincere expression on her face.
Faced with Youko Saionji, Nakano Yu thought she just wanted to repay him, and since she was also World's Mother, there should not be any problem. He looked at Kotonoha and, seeing that Kotonoha said nothing, added Youko Saionji as a friend.
"Then I won't disturb you any longer. Enjoy your meal. And, by the way, you two look very good together."
After adding Nakano Yu as a friend, Youko Saionji smiled with satisfaction and said that to Katsura Kotonoha. After that, she turned and left.
And Katsura Kotonoha's cheeks immediately turned red after hearing Youko Saionji's words, but she did not deny anything.
Looking at Katsura Kotonoha beside him, and then at Youko Saionji's departing back, Nakano Yu did not say anything to stop her.
Sometimes, a young girl truly cannot compare to a mature woman.
