"Kikuri-senpai, shouting like that will disturb the other guests' dining..."

Yoshinoya, the most common beef bowl restaurant in Japan, can be said to be a household name in the city, and everyone has eaten there, a luxury set meal especially for office workers!

Yu Miyazawa originally thought that Kiku would choose porridge, which is easier on the stomach, to fill her stomach. After all, everyone in the Pab club likes to drink something thin to dilute the alcohol concentration in their stomachs after a hangover, but the latter clearly had her own ideas.

Without hesitation, she rushed to the order counter after entering the store, leaning half her body inside and grinning foolishly, "Hehehe~! I've brought you business, aren't you happy?"

"Happy my foot!"

Fortunately, there weren't many customers in the shop. Seeing that the noise in Kikuri wasn't bothering anyone, Miyazawa Yu sat down at the counter and curiously peered into the kitchen.

Startled by the drunkard's shouts, a little girl with wine-red eyes rushed out of the kitchen, wielding a spoon, ready to play whack-a-mole on Kiku's head. Fortunately, she was pulled back by a pair of hands that came out from behind.

"Wait a minute, Ash, you can't just lay a hand on the guests!"

"But this guy comes every day! He's making so much noise that many customers have already complained!"

"Okay, okay~"

Holding tightly to her frizzy companion, the girl, dressed entirely in gray-brown, walked out from the kitchen, bowed deeply, and offered a cheerful smile with exceptional service spirit.

"Hello, guest, is there anything you need?"

"Ugh~ That's so mean, Lupa-chan is so cold!"

"Well, since it's working hours now, please be seated and order your food."

"Okay~"

With her head bobbing and one leg slumped under her bottom, Hiroi Kikuri pouted dejectedly, alcohol bubbles rising and exploding above her head.

"Give me a medium-sized beef rice bowl and a beer! What do you want to eat, Yu? It's on me!"

"No need for Kiku-nee, for the main course I'd like a large portion of beef rice with less onion, and for drinks, beer will do!"

"Yes, please wait a moment, your meal will be here shortly!"

After tearing off the note with the meal order written on it and placing it on the table in front of the two of them, Lupa smiled with her big eyes narrowed, and then went back to the kitchen to start preparing the meal in a methodical manner.

However, watching her departing figure, Miyazawa Yu frowned and looked confused, because he suspected that he might have been affected by some strange Stand ability!

After all, to see the same person working three different jobs in one day—that's dedication that would make any capitalist shed tears! It must be an illusion!

"Um... Kiku, was that person from just now...?"

"Hmm! Lupa will be working at the Billy player's place at noon. She even called to ask me to look after you~"

Without a care in the world, Hiroi Kikuri scratched the back of her head, then stuck out her little tongue apologetically, saying, "But I'm sorry, I was so sleepy that I fell asleep again..."

"Hiss... working three jobs a day? That's a bit outrageous, isn't it?"

Her pupils constricted slightly, and she gasped for breath. Miyazawa Yu had initially thought she had encountered some kind of misunderstanding, like twin sisters.

Who would have thought that the other party was actually a working god who worked three jobs a day. Considering the commute time, the other party probably had to leave home at six in the morning and then work until about ten o'clock at night when the shift changed at Yoshinoya before getting off work.

What kind of insane triathlon is this?! Do all dark-skinned people have the attribute of being the highest-paid employee?!

"Hmm! Lupa always works very late..."

Nodding earnestly, Hiroi Kikuri pressed her hand to her chest and slightly opened her eyes, her respect clearly coming from the heart!

"That's why people often come to support us with a sense of awe!"

"Hey you, since you know we're busy, why don't you come less often, okay?"

A sharp sound interrupted the conversation as the short, gray-haired girl placed the pre-cooked beef rice in front of Ju with annoyance, her wine-red, slanted eyes looking up with disdain!

"And you're always forgetting things! This is the bass you left here yesterday! Please don't leave it lying around like that again!"

"Ah! It's my Shuten-dōji! I'm so glad I've finally found him!"

Overjoyed, Kikuri Hiroi hugged the bass box to her chest and smiled as she stretched out one hand to show the aggressive girl, saying, "And this is Tomokazu Ebizuka, a junior I admire very much!"

"Waaah... Even if you say that, I won't change my mind!"

His face flushed red, and Ebizuka Tomo took a half step back, revealing his true panic. In the end, praising someone in public like this was really too much of a violation. How could this drunkard say it without any psychological pressure?

"Sigh~ Why? They contributed a lot to the revenue!"

"But your contribution to the store's revenue is completely useless! We're not store managers, we're just oxen and horses drawing a fixed salary!"

Speaking of this, Ebizuka Satoshi's eyes sharpened instantly, and he was no longer sleepy. It was Hiroi Kikuri who was indeed contributing a lot of revenue to the store!

But all the warm banknotes flowed into the boss's pocket, leaving these beasts of burden with only cold, dirty bowls.

If she could, she would prefer the shop to be barely surviving, just enough to keep the owner from going bankrupt, so that she could at least wash fewer dishes!

"It seems like you can't win this argument at all. Hurry up and apologize, Kiku-nee..."

"Ugh! That's so unfair! Is Yu siding with Ash just because he's young?!"

"certainly not!"

With his arms crossed, Yu Miyazawa stepped over the counter to stand next to Tomo Ebizuka. With a deadpan expression, he uttered a rather irresponsible remark: "As someone in the service industry myself, I also hope that members who sign up for memberships here won't come here too often!"

"That's outrageous! They have absolutely no sense of service!"

Startled by the overwhelming aura of scum beside him, Ebizuka Tomo jumped back to create some distance, looking in horror at the boy who had somehow teleported to his side.

First of all, the fact that he has blond hair is a huge turn-off, as he is the type of person she hates the most!

Secondly, he has absolutely no sense of propriety in his words and actions; if nothing unexpected happens...

"The band members?"

"Standardizations are unacceptable! And don't forget we're in a band too!"

After giving Ash a hard knock on the head, Lupa finally had a moment to relax and bowed deeply to Yu Miyazawa, placing the beer next to each of the two bowls of beef rice.

"Looks like you've found the right livehouse, congratulations!"

"I should be the one saying thank you. I'm so sorry for causing you trouble! Miss Working Queen!"

"A new nickname?"

Without warning, a title appeared on his head. Lupa was slightly puzzled for a moment, but he accepted the title given to him by the eccentric boy. After all, it wasn't wrong!

"Yes, I am the highest-paid employee~ So, is there something wrong with Kiku? Why didn't you order unlimited beer refills..."

"That's right! Let's have a cocktail party tonight, Lupa! Invite Xingge too! That kid's an expert!"

Pulled back to his seat by Kikuri and hooking his arm around her neck, Miyazawa Yu had absolutely no objection to the increasingly large party; in fact, his eyes were sparkling! After all, a large number of people makes it a party; otherwise, what's the difference between it and ordinary drinking?

Moreover, as a member of a band, Kiku-san can only attract extremely beautiful women of exceptionally high quality. If it were Iori, she would probably be jumping up and down in a frenzy, so of course I have no reason to refuse!

"Oh? A cocktail party? I'm here..."

Hearing about the cocktail party, Lupa's eyes lit up slightly; after all, she also needed to relax "appropriately" after working all day.

Since there's no recording tonight, having a drink shouldn't be a problem... *stare*

"..."

As Lupa's longing gaze swept across his face, Ebizuka Tomo's expression slowly changed from one of impending anger to one of deep entanglement, before finally gritting his teeth, letting out a soft sigh, and relenting.

Unfortunately, Lupa's current situation is like a child who has finished their homework and previewed the text but wants to play on their phone for a while.

As a parent, even if she wanted to say that playing on her phone is bad for her eyes, she immediately lost all power and means when faced with her child's bright, sparkling eyes.

"We have to break up before midnight! Otherwise, we'll have a headache tomorrow!"

"I guarantee I'll complete the task ahead of schedule!"

With a small burst of joy, Lupa smiled and pulled Ash into his arms, squeezing him slightly. A surge of warm energy flowed into Ash through the contact.

"Ugh..."

The little guy, who had been throwing a tantrum three times since she walked in, was actually looking completely engrossed. Miyazawa Yu was quite surprised that the working girl was also in a band, after all, it would be strange if she could find time to practice with such a work frequency!

However, it must be said that their personalities are truly complementary. To put it more vividly, they give off the vibe of a kind old mother and her hedgehog daughter!

Judging from this, today's cocktail party doesn't seem too boring!

Chapter 268 It seems like You is about to be completely devoured!

"How's it going? Has he replied?"

Around midnight, Sakurako Busujima, looking grim, huddled on the living room sofa, frantically tapping the table with her fingertips. The terrifying black aura emanating from her made Yukina and Kyoko cower and tremble beside Rin.

It is worth mentioning that, in order to protect her family's wealth, Lin Xuezi, ashamed to face her parents, chose to run away from home to avoid being bombarded by the old scholars.

Wearing a nightgown that was clearly loose at the chest, she rested her head on a sofa cushion while reading, her gaze fixed on the anxious expression of the man through her thick glasses.

"Not yet. It's surprising that Miss Poison Island from Qinghai University is so concerned about that guy..."

"Hmph! It was just an accidental discovery that he was rich...it was simply destiny!"

She almost blurted out the words "Rich Guy" with a slip of her tongue, so Sakura quickly coughed and pretended to be serious, but the three little ones opposite her had obviously seen through everything!

"Let me tell you, my sister is really wicked. She only likes handsome men and rich men. Rin, you have to tell your older brother to be careful! Don't let her fall for that woman's tricks!"

"Rich guy...it's okay!"

After pondering for a moment, Miyazawa Rin quietly nodded and gave a thumbs-up to show that she understood. For the sake of Onii-chan's loyalty, she would no longer give this guy pocket money!

Although the other person is now earning their own living expenses, in fact, she would use the excuse of applying for a credit card to help the former through SILVERMANGYM every month!

Since Grand Blue is practically their own business now, Onii-chan will have to rely on Nanaka-nee's allowance to support himself from now on!

"My brother is very poor right now, so he shouldn't be a target, right?"

"It's hard to say!"

Knowing her older sister's true nature, Kyoko Busujima's eyes turned serious and she shook her head frantically, vividly depicting the former's dangerousness!

"My sister is a very farsighted person. Maybe she's furious because she planned the night raid but Onii-chan didn't come back..."

"One stroke, many?"

"Huh—! It is!"

Startled by a soft, clenched voice calling from behind, Kyoko Busujima turned around in terror, only to be met with her older sister's piercingly kind eyes that seemed to say, "You know too much."

"You seem to be talking a little too much~"

"Red bean paste is a secret! Please forgive my presumption!"

To sit upright and bow deeply in apology—that is the so-called enlightenment of a monk!

Sakurako Busujima was furious that her secret had been exposed, but even though her face was flushed red, if she dared to make a move in front of everyone, wouldn't that just show that she was guilty?

So even though her palms were itching so badly she wanted to find something to practice karate, she could only force a smile and leave disappointed.

However, as she returned to her seat, she subtly pulled her nightgown down a little to avoid anyone noticing her beautiful winning outfit.

That's right! She's really planning a night raid today. After all, if a lone man and woman don't do something, what's the difference between her plan to steal someone else's boyfriend and a piece of waste paper? That's what you call action!

Unfortunately, that bastard was too unlucky; he missed out on the food that was being eagerly stuffed into his mouth!

"Seriously, all that wearing it was for nothing..."

"...How dare you!"

Out of the corner of her eye, Lin Xuezi glanced at the pretty and delicate little things, and a moment of amazement flashed in her eyes. Because of her lying position, she could see many things that the three little ones couldn't see.

It turns out that it's best to do things like getting your pants stuck in your butt crack in a secluded spot. Otherwise, sometimes people might not even notice, and all your efforts could be wasted because of your reckless actions!

However, instead of being amazed, a question quickly arose in her mind: why were they all waiting here?

Mingyou had already said that she was having a cocktail party with newly acquainted friends tonight, so in theory, nothing unexpected should have happened.

But everyone seemed worried and waited in the living room, making her, the only one who wanted to go upstairs to sleep, seem particularly out of place!

That guy is so popular with women that four women, including the eldest and youngest, are simultaneously interested in him. What kind of succubus ability does that have? Can Chisa really control this kind of person with her charm?

"Ding!"

Finally! As the girls waited, each lost in their own thoughts and whispering amongst themselves, Sakurako Busujima's phone, which was on the coffee table, made a sound.

Since she had already turned off all notifications, the person sending the message at this moment couldn't possibly be anyone else but that bastard Miyazawa Yu! With that in mind, she rushed forward before anyone else could react!

With a snap, Sakurako Busujima gripped her phone tightly, completely unaware of how many people were staring at her. All she wanted to do was get Yu back and launch a night raid!

Ugh... Busujima... I feel so awful...

"???"

Stunned and frozen in place, her brain, which had already been planning how to turn the pretty inner lining into fighting power that night, shut down. This was the first time Sakurako Busujima had ever seen this guy send such a message.
