Chapter.40 Cooking Competition

***

Where have we been so far?

Of course, I come home and sleep. Nothing has changed. Viscera and Duran also close the restaurant and return home.

So we just go back.

I get off work at night! That is the obvious truth. There is also super convenient transportation equipment, so there is no need to go through any hardships while traveling abroad.

My restaurant on the hill is an independent business, so it doesn’t matter. This is a restaurant I opened to do as I please.

I am expressing my feelings by not having a fixed menu. If there is no fixed menu, there are cases where I make the food the customer wants, but in my case, I make the food I want. Hehehe.

Lie down on the bed.

It’s fluffy.

After all, you should sleep at home. It is the truth. serious.

Haaam.

I yawned.

Even though I don’t think I was that tired, I yawn. We promoted it, and now all we have to do is hope that customers will come, and Visera has started to do all the cooking, so all I can do is watch and from tomorrow onwards, there will be nothing to do at Visera’s restaurant.

There are still problems on the other side.

Of course, that’s something I don’t even need to approach first. If you remember the girl from the competing restaurant that you briefly saw at that time, she didn’t seem like the type to just quietly back down, so she would react first on her own.

So there’s nothing special. I buried my face in the pillow.

Fluffy.

My face gets stuck in the pillow. I don’t want to think about anything.

It would be nice to sleep like this.

Just as I was about to close my eyes, a sonorous voice struck my ears. I immediately reacted by turning around to the feeling that something was falling.

“you.”

“huh?”

The identity of the voice was, of course, Lulin. Soggy, wet hair. Standing in front of me, dripping water.

Washed is good. What I washed.

Yes, I’m wearing a proper towel.

But I don’t know why I didn’t dry my hair.

“Hey, why is your hair like that?”

“we are here.”

“What’s here?”

“Towel!”

He holds it out to me and brings a chair and sits down in front of the bed. In other words, it is a silent command to dry your hair.

It’s actually reassuring to see that he hasn’t changed.

I was a little surprised that she suddenly gave me a piggyback ride and said that I was cute, something she never said before, but she was still the same Lulin.

If you ask me to stop you, I have to stop you.

Come to think of it, this guy’s hair has gotten a lot better recently.

Especially when I was staying at Lulin’s mother’s rare, that is, when I was staying in the mountains, I washed my hair roughly, so there was a time when I had hair like dog hair that had been bleached several times, but now it’s silky.

Is this a feeling of unprecedented times?

“Do you like the change in shampoo?”

“that’s good. I think it’s better than the old one. “It smells good, but it’s a bit slippery.”

“is it? “I thought it had just the right slipperiness.”

Well, this kind of conversation is possible. It is now possible to determine the grade of shampoo.

Ssuk suk.

He is very calm when I brush his head. Just leave your body quietly. Her long hair falls over her small shoulders.

The feeling of the hair touching my hand is somehow itchy.

It’s a friendly feeling.

“Okay, that’s it.”

Now that I’ve removed some of the moisture, I dry my hair with the magic of the wind.

This is when your head starts dancing.

“Hehehehe.”

At times like that, Lurin smiles happily. What makes it tickle when the wind hits your head?

“Euhihihi puhahaha!” It tickles! Puhahahaha!”

I like making sounds like this.

After drying off, I throw away the towel and lie down on the bed again, and Rurin turns her head and looks down at me.

Well, usually I end the day by jumping into this state and sleeping.

“you.”

But Lulin started acting unexpectedly again.

“Yes?”

Suddenly he comes up on top of me and looks down at me. The hair I had just dried fell down and touched my face.

Lurin just looked at me from that distance, with the end of her hair tickling my cheek.

not moving.

“what’s the matter?”

There was nothing to say so I tried to break the silence, but there was no answer. Then, after a while, he barely opened his mouth, slightly pouting.

“I give you a massage.”

“What?”

And the line Lulin said was so unrealistic that I ended up screaming.

“Why are you yelling at me?”

Lurin immediately puffed out her cheeks. This is the expression you usually see when you don’t like something. But what about me? I don’t know what the words mean.

“No, no, I’m just surprised. Are you really giving me a massage?”

“Hmm, really? anyway! What is it… Yes, that’s right. “You look tired, so give me a massage!”

“Is that so? “Then what?”

In any case, it is an incredibly rare opportunity. I quickly turned around and lay down.

“Then, please help me with my shoulders and back.”

“… Annoying.”

“What are you annoyed about? suddenly. “They said they would do it first.”

“There is such a thing!”

What is it really?

“I will do it anyway. Is it here? This shoulder?”

“huh. “That’s right.”

“Good. then… !”

Lurin’s fingers came up to my shoulder. I feel thin fingers.

And soon, Lurin gives strength.

Hmm, is it cool?

No, no, wait!

“Aaaahhh!”

I screamed. I have no choice but to give up. If you massage it this hard, of course you will scream.

I felt a thin finger and wondered what kind of power was so strong.

“Yumma! I’ll stop and break my shoulder. “Ahhhh.”

“hate. “I don’t know.”

“I don’t know what… help me. Wait, why are you there again?”

I feel like my shoulder is going to fall off.

“Wait a minute, Lurin, be gentle. Gently… Relax and relax… .”

“Why am I so skinny?”

“what?”

“Continue. “Because you asked me to do it.”

“Wait a minute! “Yumma!”

When I screamed again, Lurin barely let go. I quickly got up and turned around to protect myself from further assault.

Rurin looked at me for a moment.

“I’m sleeping.”

I suddenly turned my head and fell into the blanket.

What on earth?

You say something you’ve never said in your life, and then they try to break your shoulder and say you’re sleeping now?

Even though nothing seemed to have changed, there was something odd about it.

This is strange Lurin.

Something is slightly strange. Everything from saying he was cute, saying he would give me a piggyback ride, saying he would give me a massage, then torturing him and then falling asleep.

weird.

Why?

***

“It’s been strange these days. Why has the number of customers decreased so drastically? “Isn’t this the time when the first floor should be full?”

“It seems so. president.”

“Why are you so carefree? “You mean I can go back to my father at any time?”

“Is that possible?”

Horai sweatdropped as Licent interrogated him. Licent shouted, glaring even more harshly at Horai.

“Bring the sales ledger right now!”

“All right. Please wait.”

Horai ran upright and brought the ledger with him. It is a competitor restaurant to Visera Restaurant and the place that L had already looked into.

Licent, the owner of this restaurant called Merli, looked at the ledger while biting his lip.

After examining the ledger until the end, Licent’s complexion became increasingly pale and eventually exploded!

Horai felt like running away.

He slowly took a step back, but their eyes met and Horai froze.

“What on earth is this! Sales had plummeted three days ago, and yesterday it was a quarter of the usual sales. Not in half, but in four pieces? Wait, does this make sense?”

This is a situation that cannot be understood through common sense. I can’t believe sales have plummeted so much in such a short period of time. It was an event that could not have occurred without some kind of disaster or war occurring.

“While I was visiting my parents’ house… What the hell happened! Horai!”

“I’m sorry.”

Horai quickly lowered his head. This is because I couldn’t speak properly with frosty eyes in front of me.

“Is that the customer service? What have you done! Or taste? “How did they throw away the taste in the meantime!”

Licent, perhaps frustrated with Horai’s answer, rushed into the kitchen. After making a fuss in the kitchen for a while, he held out a bowl of noodles in front of Horai and shouted.

“It tastes the same! Same. No problem. Then what is the cause? Is there a new restaurant? “I didn’t see a restaurant like that on my way to work?”

“That…” .”

Of course, Horai had been here all along, so he knew the cause well. If they found out the truth, they would cause even more trouble, so thinking about how to explain it made my stomach ache.

But that doesn’t mean it can be hidden. It’s not something that can be hidden.

Horai held his left stomach with one hand and opened his mouth.

“That…” .”

“that is? What is that… What on earth… !”

“Customers have started flocking to Visera Restaurant recently.”

“what?”

For a moment, Licent did not understand what Horai said and just blinked.

“Everything… Are you talking about that failed Viscera restaurant? At that restaurant… “A customer?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“What on earth is that…?” .”

Liscent stormed out of the restaurant without listening to Horai’s answer. Because I thought it was best to see it with my own eyes.

Quadang-!

“Aaaahhh.”

However, I was in too much of a hurry and fell down the stairs while coming down the restaurant with that momentum.

There was blood on his knees, but he didn’t care and limped towards the Visera restaurant. Because of his incredible persistence, Horai was momentarily dazed, but soon ran after Licent.

“Boss, wait a minute. “You’re bleeding!”

“Is that the problem?”

And eventually, Licent arrived in front of Viscera Restaurant. And he opened his mouth in surprise.

It is astounding itself.

“What is that… Are you waiting in line now? “Line up?”

“That’s right. “It was very easy to compete if the noodles were the same, but I think that’s what happened when we started selling special dishes.”

“New menu? joy. That was it, after all. Then we’ll make a new menu too! okay? And pack that food right away. I need to taste it. “You need to know what they’re selling.”

Licent gave that order and limped back to Merli.

After waiting in line, Horai was put in the position of having to quietly take out food.

And after a while, Licent, who tried the new menu of Visera Restaurant bought by Horai with the chef, started shaking again.

“what’s this! It’s delicious… It’s delicious. “Why can’t we make something like this?”

“That thing… .”

Of course, the chef scratched the back of his head and avoided Licent’s gaze with an embarrassed look on his face.

“Make a new menu right now. “They are paying so much, but what on earth is this?”

“Oh, I understand!”

Licent’s father is a person with great influence in this area. If you get fired, you won’t be able to get a job around here. The chef and kitchen staff returned to the kitchen with sad faces.

Of course, the relationship between Licent and the subject, his father. It was obedience that came from not knowing the inside story at all.
