The table next to the bar.
Kyoko and Akemi also stared at them with wide eyes.
They look like girls around the same age as them, so why would they say something like they don't want to be mothers?
"Kyoko, Akemi, don't look at others like that, it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
Saeko Busujima took a small sip of tea and spoke to the two of them in a very composed manner.
She was not surprised by Thor's statement.
Perhaps due to her family background, she knew many girls who got married and had children in their teens.
It even became a means for upper-class families to arrange marriages.
Reiko, who was sitting at the bar, also expressed her surprise upon hearing this.
Tilting her head, she looked at Tohru, then at Aoba, who was carrying a dish and had just lifted the curtain at the kitchen entrance.
"Manager, are you getting married?"
In her opinion, only Aoba's age matched the description in the shop.
Fafnir's somber temperament...
He would never be popular with girls.
"marry?"
Aoba, holding the dish, looked at Lucoa and Tohru, and the smile on her face froze for a moment.
But without lingering, he simply shook his head and smiled at Reiko:
"Reiko has also started to enjoy listening to gossip."
"No way! Only the store manager is the most suitable!"
When Reiko heard Aoba's teasing, she subconsciously lowered her head, but then realized that she was in Aoba's shop.
The two were already familiar with each other and could probably call each other friends, or even joke around.
So after looking down, he realized his own personality and immediately looked up to refute Aoba.
The smile on his face was still very bright.
Lingzi had only been at the store for three days. Although the girl was very sociable, she still had little in common with the other girls her age in the store.
Seeing the genuine smile on Reiko's face, Aoba was equally happy.
"Hey~ Reiko has a really nice smile. You should smile more often in the store. Maybe it will make my business even better."
The boy winked at the girl.
Like a fox robber suddenly barging into the little rabbit's house, the little rabbit was extremely nervous.
Chapter 101 Qingye: Did I stir up a dragon's nest?
Just a few short sentences.
It seemed to stir a few ripples in the heart of this girl who was usually only interested in monsters.
What are your thoughts on Aoba?
Just a diner?
Or
Are the two already friends?
For Natsume Reiko, who had no experience in interpersonal relationships, it seemed as if someone had knocked on a crack in her closed-off heart.
She is clearly a very gentle and peaceful person.
Why do they have such an unfairly high level of attractiveness and charm?
And could it be that I've fallen for the store manager?!
Thinking of a certain possibility, Lingzi buried her head in the plate, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
impossible!
impossible!
How could I possibly like someone as gentle as the store manager?
Like the ugly duckling who spends her days among ducks, one day she meets a swan who sees her as one of their own.
Even if the swan did nothing, just getting close was enough to make the ugly duckling feel inferior.
This kind of liking...
It's not something the Ugly Duckling allows herself to do!
Aoba looked at Reiko, who had lowered her head and remained silent, and a flash of heartache crossed her face.
The gentle smile on her face came to an abrupt end.
Without saying much, he carried the dishes to Saeko Busujima's table.
Even with the girl's head down, he could sense her fear of interpersonal relationships, despite his two lifetimes.
Or rather... distrust.
This thin film will eventually need time to be broken.
All he could do was serve his guests a comforting meal.
"Please enjoy your thick omelet."
Two parfaits.
Three very simple dishes.
Saeko Busujima looked at the steaming, golden-brown tamagoyaki with a look of amazement in her eyes.
Just as Kyoko said!
Aoba's cooking is better than that of those five-star hotels.
"Many thanks."
Even though she was a guest, she still stood up and bowed to Aoba.
Seeing this, Qingye smiled helplessly and said, "You are a guest, there's no need for so much formality, it's tiring."
"Yes, Saeko-nee, Aoba-nii is a very good person."
Kyoko nodded repeatedly from the side.
The girl's delicate face flushed with a satisfied blush as she ate the parfait, feeling as if her head was frozen.
Saeko Busujima smiled and nodded before turning her gaze to the tamagoyaki in front of her.
As a girl raised in a traditional family, she naturally understands that the best praise for a chef is undoubtedly recognition of the dish.
Pick up a piece of thick omelet cut into small cubes and put it in your mouth.
moment.
The gentle warmth, like water seeping into the depths of a valley, gave her a jolt.
The dish was very simple, yet it helped her relax after a long period of stress.
Is this Aoba's secret?
How can one soothe their murderous intent through cooking?
Saeko Busujima's purple eyes sparkled with amazement.
My father once said that too.
Merely being obsessed with the way of the sword will never make you a sword saint.
All the famous sword saints in history were people who had experienced great setbacks and failures!
He infused his own experiences into the way of the sword, and entrusted his beloved things to it.
Only in this way can one ascend to the heavenly path known as the Sword Saint!
Saeko Busujima, who tasted this dish, knew very well.
The green leaf before him undoubtedly possessed such qualifications; perhaps he was even closer to becoming a Sword Saint than he was!
Aoba was unaware of the girl's inner excitement.
He simply glanced at the tables next to him.
The area above has been thoroughly cleaned by Lucoa.
She's clearly a reliable employee, but she always acts cocky and flirts with the manager.
This one trait alone is enough for Aoba to label Lucoa as an unqualified employee.
"Lucia, regarding your future job as a shop assistant..."
As Aoba walked to the bar to take a break, he casually brought up the matter of Lucoa working as a shop assistant.
Upon hearing her boss's words, the dragon girl immediately slowed down her movements as she massaged Thor.
The smile on his face also became stiff.
She turned her head stiffly to look at Qingye:
"Manager~~"
Her voice sounded like she was being coquettish.
Aoba was already seated at the bar and in the kitchen, thinking about the groceries she needed to buy tomorrow:
"Lucoya will probably be very busy, so just come when you have time, don't force yourself."
As a deity, there must be many things that need to be resolved.
It's not good to keep Lucoa in the shop all the time, and besides, Aoba feels that he needs to upgrade his purification skill to 1v4 before he can do so.
They absolutely could not resist Lucoa's special allure.
