118 A Sudden Visit From The Shimazaki Siblings

She was kneading the dough in her hands and thinking wildly when she suddenly heard someone shouting from the corner: "Why are you so upset? Show up with the courage of a man and work hard if your performance is not good!"

"Yes, the section chief is right!"

"We absolutely cannot lose to Section 2!"

"Work overtime! Go back and work overtime after eating!"

Akiho lost interest after just one glance. This kind of thing happened a lot recently. People often got excited after eating and drinking. They were either in a collective frenzy or were determined to fight with something, making the store feel like a mental hospital. But these people still came here every days and got angry when there was no seat. Many rich guys even instigated her sister to change the izakaya to a membership system, and there was even some nonsensical guys say he wanted to invest!

She lowered her head again, handed the kneaded dough to Kazuya, and began to watch him start pulling ramen, the trick of selling three bowls of ramen for one dough. The customers looked at the Dragon beard noodles as thin as silk. Not only did they not feel short of noodles, but also were willing to pay for another bowl!

In front of Kazuya, the row of females diners also looked at him intently. When he finished making noodles and put them in the pot, they all patted their hands and many of them lightly covered their mouths and winked.

It's a pity that I was born too early, but I will look for boyfriends according to this standard in the future - good looks, gentlemanly style, good at talking, cooking well, and loving the sisters in the family, the perfect boyfriend template!

Kazuya smiled and had nothing to say. He didn't mean to play tricks. The noodles had been manipulated, and the best broth was added to ensure the taste and chewiness at the same time. The clear soup was even more attractive and could be sold at a much higher price. Why do you clap if you don't understand what happens? I just show off my skills, but I don't sell my body!

He also understood that these sisters didn't have any special feelings for him. Most of them just liked the delicious food and handsome men, so they all crowded here to watch. Where couldn't they go to relax after work? It was great to come here and watch the handsome chef cooking!

It probably felt like seeing a new Chinese giant panda! He guessed if he switched to a panda and came here for ramen, the effect would be almost the same.

He was so busy, and in a blink of an eye, it was past eight o'clock. As soon as the curtain was lifted, a man and a woman came in. Haruka was already dizzy from the work and she didn't even look at the person, but bowed at a ninety degree angle: "Guest, sorry. There are no seats available at the moment!"

The man and woman were silent for a moment, and one of them frowned and said, "Sakura, it's me, Kanae."

Haruka raised her head in surprise, "Captain?"

Shin, who was following behind, had no choice but to send the gift and apologize: "Hello, Sakura! It's really rude to come here without permission. Please forgive us!"

Haruka was stunned, then quickly returned the gift to him, then turned to Kanae and asked in surprise: "Kanae Senpai, why are you here?"

Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol. Logically speaking, they should not enter an izakaya, but Pure Flavor House also sells set meals. Kanae said it was not illegal to come here to eat, but Haruka was still embarrassed. This was when she was really busy, why did they do here?

Kanae looked unhappy at the bustling store and said: "Tomorrow is the first round of the regional competition. I sent you an email but you didn't reply. I was worried so I came over to take a look... Fortunately, I'm here!"

She was a senior, so she didn't have to be polite to the junior and just said whatever she wanted. She didn't just come to see Haruka, she was very concerned about the results of the Kendo Club. This was her last year. If she couldn't get any result, her three-year club career would end with no results, so she visited her members in circles tonight to let the them calm down, rest well and not to work and play around in order to achieve good results in tomorrow's competition. As for Shin, she just found him to lead the way.

"Is the regional competition tomorrow?" Haruka was stunned. Her father was seriously ill now, and the store was very busy. She got up early to prepare ingredients. When she went to school, she took a nap in addition to classes. After school, she had to visit her father in the hospital, take care of her sisters, and worked as a waiter at night. How could she have the rest brains to remember all this.

"I sent you an email five days ago. Didn't you reply it?" Kanae looked at her and found that she was wearing apron and a headscarf, which looked like she was at work. She was slightly dissatisfied. "We must achieve results this year. If your father is here, I'll take a night off for you. You can recuperate your energy and perform normally tomorrow."

With that said, she walked to the kitchen counter regardless. She had high hopes for Haruka. Even though she was short, she was already considered to be the best among female players. and might be able to enter the national competition. 

But she paused after taking two steps, and Shin was ashamed and apologized for his sister: "Sakura, we have caused trouble for you..." But he also couldn't continue what he said when he saw what was happening at the kitchen counter.

Why is Kazuya here?

He was not so surprised wherever Kazuya appeared, but he couldn't accept it when he appeared in Haruka's store. He had personally seen Kazuya step on her head and "chop it off", and he had also heard Haruka's said "lifelong enemies", so he always felt that these two had a deep hatred.

Haruka looked back at Kazuya and found that this guy was not looking here at all and was grilling fish with his head down. She felt a little guilty inexplicably, as if she had been seen the scandal, so she quickly moved out of the way to block their sight, but unluckly she was not tall enough, so it was of no use. 

Kanae turned around and asked Shin: "Is that your friend with good grades? What's his name? Is he also in our club?"

Shin replied in a daze, "It's Kazuya Matsuoka, the second in our grade." Then he turned to ask Haruka, "Why is Kazuya here?"

Haruka was silent, feeling a little annoyed. What does this have to do with you? But she didn't want to offend Kanae. Haruna could get dedicated guidance in the track and field club because she asked her to come forward. If she could ask a friend to guide her sister, naturally she could also ask a friend to make trouble with her sister. She finally endured it and said: "Senpai, I will go to the competition on time tomorrow. But now there are too many customers in the store, and I can't get away..."

While she was talking, a customer asked for ordering. She looked back and thought that blocking the door like this was not an option, so she said, "Please come in and take a seat first."

She led the Shimazaki siblings into the store, but there were no seats left, so she could only add two chairs to the side of the kitchen to accommodate them. Then she wanted to quickly make money, so she only hurriedly explain to Kazuya, turned around to help the customers refill their drinks and take orders.

After hearing her words, Kazuya noticed Shin and asked with some surprise: "Shin, why are you here?" Then he turned to look at Kanae and tried to identify who she was. Except for the Sakura Family, he couldn't tell who other girl was. He hesitated and asked, "Is this your senior?"

Shin was speechless. It's my turn to ask you why you are here, right? No wonder you are friends with Haruna Sakura from Class H. It turns out you work part-time at her store and still a chef? But aren't you an enemy of Haruka Sakura from Class C?

Kanae was also speechless, looked at him and asked: "You are also a member of the Kendo Club, why can't you even recognize your captain?"
