Knowing that his life was not in immediate danger, Sadao finally felt like indulging in some leisure activities. Although entertaining guests from other worlds was troublesome, since he had decided to repay the favor, he had to accept that inconvenience was unavoidable, it was a necessary price to pay.

However, he had to set some ground rules. "Let me make this clear, system. Even if you are summoning someone, don't bring those with unstable minds. Entertaining such people would be too much, even if I had ten lives."

"Don't worry, don't worry. As of now, even if I wanted to, I can't summon anyone. My initial targets are Megumi Kato and Utaha Kasumigaoka. One is the main protagonist, and the other is a spin-off protagonist. The amount of luck they possess is not insignificant!"

Hearing this, Sadao's expression turned sour. After pondering for a while, he asked, "Since they both possess luck... does that mean my plans are meaningless?"

"Your plan is still good... At least, the possibility of it succeeding is not zero." The system gave him an unexpectedly hopeful answer.

"What do you mean?" Sadao was puzzled. The possibility of success is not zero?

"Simply put, changing the course of their fate is not easy. Megumi Kato has more luck than both Utaha Kasumigaoka and Eriri Spencer Sawamura combined. Under such circumstances, do you think changing the course is easy?"

Sadao understood, "So, the chance of success for this plan is not zero, but the actual possibility of achieving it is very low, right?"

"Exactly."

After getting this answer, Sadao felt somewhat disheartened. It was disheartening to realize that his carefully thought-out plan was a strategy with a very low chance of success.

Luck is indeed powerful...

Although the system had the ability to deal with luck, Sadao suddenly found that living alone might also be a good choice. After all, interacting with people is never simple.

Before making this decision, he decided to meet with that saint, Megumi Kato, first. If they didn't get along, he could always give up then.

As for Himari... She is currently just a cat with human intelligence. What she will become in the future is anyone's guess.

Seeing his resigned expression, the system instinctively had a bad feeling. Would he become even more degenerate than now?

Sadao had no way of knowing what the system was thinking... But he had no interest in these matters. His goal from the beginning had not changed: to lay low.

After receiving anime, games, and books from his original world from the system, he couldn't wait to start exploring them.

"Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World"

"KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!"

"My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected"

"Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend"

...

Looking at these familiar works, Sadao showed a nostalgic expression. He never thought that after so many years, he would be able to see these works again. He had given up hope.

"Hahahaha..." Sadao laughed heartily, the feeling of regaining what was lost was truly delightful.

"Is there a need to be this happy? You could actually participate in the storylines if you wanted..." The system couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"You don't understand, this is the romance of being an otaku!" Sadao disdainfully dismissed the system's comment. How could a mere system understand the thoughts of an otaku like him?

"As long as you're happy..." The system was at a loss for words. So this is what it means to be an otaku, it thought.

Sadao ignored the system and was about to enjoy playing a gal game when the door to the shop was pushed open.

"Uh..."

Normally, having customers should be a good thing for a shop owner, as running a shop is all about doing business.

However, this rule didn't apply to Sadao. Instead of improving his mood, the arrival of customers severely disrupted his joyful state.

Who else but Utaha Kasumigaoka, that peculiar woman, would voluntarily step into this bizarre restaurant?

However, when the figures of the newcomers became visible, Sadao couldn't stay calm anymore. No way, this young lady actually set foot in such a bizarre shop!?

"Oh, oh, oh... This is truly an unexpected guest. Host, please make sure to entertain these two guests properly."

In contrast to Sadao's speechlessness, the system became excited upon recognizing the identity of the guests. Unexpectedly, two big fish had walked right in.

"What a tasteless shop. Is this your place?"

The visitors were none other than the famously talented "God's Tongue" Erina Nakiri and her secretary Hisako Arato.

After scanning the interior decoration of the room, Erina began to mock.

Can I say that I decorated it this way on purpose?

Sadao sighed. What an unwelcome surprise!

"Welcome, Nakiri-san, Arato-san..." Despite this, he still perked up and personally attended to the two of them... However, his lackluster tone irritated Erina, "Is this how you welcome your guests!?"

"It's pretty normal..." Sadao didn't see anything wrong with his attitude. Seeing that he truly was clueless about such matters, Hisako Arato sighed and kindly explained to him, "Sadao-senpai, it's one thing for us, but in other establishments, if you treat customers with such an attitude, you would be complained about."

"So it seems..." Sadao realized. Thinking about it, the service attitude in this place…

"If you understand, then show the proper attitude when receiving customers!" Erina showed a frustrated expression. Couldn't this man take these things a bit more seriously?

"There's no need for that..." Good customs are worth learning, but why adopt such pathological norms? To disgust himself?

As for what others thought, he didn't care. He never intended to make this restaurant famous.

"Rather than that, let's settle the order first. What would you like to eat? As long as it's Chinese cuisine and I have the ingredients, I can make it."
