The girl leaned forward slightly, and her star-like eyes seemed to dim for a moment.
Seeing this, Aoba quickly shook his head. Disappointing customers is not the mark of a qualified chef.
"No, it's just that we rarely see customers having dessert in the evening anymore. What flavor of crepe would you like?"
"Eh?!"
Upon hearing Qingye's words, the girl's eyes sparkled, and she covered her mouth slightly in surprise:
"Really? Then I've caused the manager trouble. I'm sorry~"
01 "It's alright. It's my fault for making the guests feel apologetic. Please choose a seat. Also, if you don't have any particular preferences, would it be alright to put strawberries on the crepe?"
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Manager!"
A bright smile instantly appeared on the girl's face.
The lights seemed to brighten because of her smile.
He hummed a strangely pleasant tune with remarkable ease, and glanced at the seating arrangement of the small shop.
Noticing that Mitsuha was alone, her eyes crinkled into a smile as she walked toward the table.
"Excuse me, is anyone here?"
Her starry eyes looked at Mitsuha, leaving the shrine maiden mesmerized for a long time.
Only after being reminded by the other party did they quickly realize what was happening.
She instinctively hugged her school skirt to her knees, nervously lowered her head, and apologized, "Sorry, there's no one here."
"Oh, may I sit here?"
"Okay~"
The conversation between the two girls was like a humorous exchange between a popular person and an otaku on campus.
Seeing this scene, all the customers in the small shop couldn't help but smile.
No matter when.
A vibrant young girl can always bring a smile to people's faces.
Despite the dazzling brilliance of the girl beside her, Mitsuha did not feel any sense of superiority from her.
As a shrine maiden, she can sense people's general emotions.
Perhaps this is the only special ability that Miyamizu Shrine has passed down.
Her scrutinizing gaze naturally caught the attention of the blonde girl.
After carefully placing the violin case safely, the blonde girl smiled and turned back to look at Mitsuha:
Is there something wrong with my face?
"Ah~ um, sorry, no."
"Eh?"
The blonde girl looked at Mitsuha with a puzzled expression, a slight smile playing on her lips, as if joking with a close friend:
Why do you say sorry so often?
"Would you like to get acquainted? My name is Kaori Miyazono, nice to meet you!"
Kaori Miyazono smiled sincerely and reached out her hand to the nervous Mitsuha.
It seemed that her genuine feelings touched Mitsuha, making this country girl, who had been very nervous from the beginning, less worried.
A slight smile of relief finally appeared on his face.
"Ok!"
"My name is Miyamizu Mitsuha, and it's nice to meet you!"
"Hehe, then we're friends now!"
"A friend? I guess... yes."
Mitsuha didn't quite understand why girls in Tokyo used the word "friend" to refer to their friends, so she could only nod passively.
"Hey, Mitsuha-chan, could I have a small bite of your omelet rice?"
Kaori Miyazono changed her expression, looking pitifully at Mitsuha's omelet rice that was still mostly uneaten.
She could smell the delicious aroma of the food as soon as she walked in.
Although it might surprise the other person, it's fine as long as we're friends.
"Eh!?"
Kaori Miyazono used this expression and address.
Even though Mitsuha hadn't blushed too much when she saw Aoba's ridiculously handsome face, her ears were now completely red.
Calling someone by their name is one thing, but why add "sauce" after it?!
Is this how Tokyo beauties greet each other?!
"Isn't it possible?"
"Yes, that's fine."
Mitsuha quickly put down her spoon and pushed the entire plate towards Kaori Miyazono's position.
"You, you eat it."
"Hehe, Mitsuha-chan is the best!!"
Seeing this, Kaori Miyazono's starry eyes narrowed into a smile, and she called out sweetly towards the kitchen:
"Manager, could I have a set of cutlery?"
"Wait a mininute."
Inside the kitchen, Aoba was serving up the special fried noodles.
“Okay~~~”
Kaori Miyazono tilted her head and happily responded.
back kitchen.
Aoba's special stir-fried noodles are ready.
Because there are two portions, one for Saitama and one for the newcomer Genos.
So he used a plate that he didn't usually use, put two servings of fried noodles on it, and also the empty cutlery that Kaori Miyazono needed.
Before serving it, he made a point of looking at the udon noodles that Asuna had made.
It churned and bubbled inside the pot, with white bubbles gathering and bursting.
It's like the nervous yet expectant feeling of a young girl.
Aoba smiled. This udon might not taste as good as the ones he made himself, but it was definitely not bad either!
Looking at the food and tableware on the plates, my need to recruit staff became even stronger.
No matter what, we absolutely have to find a shop assistant to come back tomorrow!
It really doesn’t work...
Aoba thought of some of the smaller demons in the Hundred Demons Group.
No!
This could be considered child labor.
He first placed the empty cutlery in front of Kaori Miyazono.
Then I saw the other person scoop some of the remaining food from Mitsuha's plate with a spoon.
His expression turned slightly surprised.
Do the two know each other?
Have they gotten so close that they can exchange their dishes?
Aoba was surprised for the first time by the strange friendship between the girls.
However, he did not interrupt.
Instead, he first served two servings of special fried noodles to Saitama and Genos.
Just as he was about to return to the kitchen, he felt Hiratsuka Shizuka's gaze.
A very calm gaze.
Her face was as calm as an autumn pond, and her eyes were also serene.
There was not a ripple whatsoever.
As for Aoba, who had known Heizuka Shizuka for nearly ten years, this expression was all too familiar to him.
This is the expression that says she's about to cause trouble.
"What's wrong? Did Yukino-sensei bully you?"
"Qingye joked first."
In this situation, even if you know the answer, you absolutely cannot bring it up first.
The struggle between men and women has always been like this!
"Ah~?"
Yukino Yukari was already a little drunk, her bright eyes trembling slightly as she looked at Aoba with a hint of confusion.
They still don't seem to understand the situation at hand.
"It's okay, you go and do your work first."
Hiratsuka Shizumi Aoba seemed to be putting on an act, simply shaking her head.
"So I'm really going to II〓亿#三武〆起揪VI衤三?"
Aoba took a small step, her body facing the kitchen, and just lifted her left foot.
