"Squeak~"

"Welcome...... Oh, that's the boss! ”

At 4:11 in the afternoon, the door of the dessert shop was gently pushed open, and Toshiko Tatsuno, who had just passed by the door with a plate, subconsciously turned his head and saw Kishida with a tired face and a yawn.

What's going on with that tone of disappointment...... Anyway, don't you two have to go to school? ”

Kishida yawned and glanced at Toshiko Tatsuno, as well as Ayutori Arashiyama, who was collecting money at the cash register.

"The school ended early, and I came right away when I was short of manpower."

"What about the morning? Haven't you hired anyone yet? You can't just work part-time all day long, right? ”

Kishida asked with a frown, while looking around the dessert shop with his eyes, scattered customers sitting at the table, relatively small customer flow, but thinking of this point in time, it is understandable.

"I heard the store manager say that in the morning, Miss Sha Ji is in charge of serving the cashier, and she is in charge of making desserts, but fortunately, today is not a rest day, and there are relatively few customers, but she is also busy. As for the new manpower, it has been recruited and will be reported tomorrow........ Are you the owner of this shop!? Didn't know anything....."

Toshiko Tatsuno shook her head, looked at the shopping bag that Kishida was carrying, and complained weakly, ignoring her embarrassing boss, and left with a plate.

“......”

Kishida scratched his head in embarrassment, because out of trust, and seeing that Akemi was able to keep the store in order, he really didn't focus on the dessert shop all the time, after all, the affairs of the movie theater still need him to take care of it, even if he still has the tool man of the assistant Tachibana.

It's impossible for Kishida to do nothing, and the remote command will do everything. At least tomorrow Shi Kaobing's bounty will be in the household, and he will need to be present to go to the cinema to sign a change of contract.

Thinking of the police officer who had just been on the bus, Officer Twilight called and said that the hospital had determined that Murakami had become a vegetative person, and it was only up to God to wake up when he woke up. By the way, tell Kishida that tomorrow his money will be in hand.

Kishida, who is on the verge of double happiness, feels both happy and painful, and always feels that he has a lot of thieves, and he has to go to learn from the strange thief Kidd and talk about business.

There was no way, the pit dug for himself on a whim at that time could only be buried by himself.

"Alas!"

Kishida sighed lightly, found a reason for himself to be bitter and then sweet, and walked straight to the kitchen.

"Table 11 still needs to wait for a few minutes, don't rush Junzi~~ Uh, it's the boss......"

Saki Nishiya, who was making small cakes, was alarmed by the curtain lifted, and subconsciously thought it was Toshiko Tatsuno again, but when he finished speaking, the corner of his eye found Kishida walking straight over.

"I'm back~"

Hearing the voice of Saki Nishiya, Akemi, who was concentrating on cooking the soup base, said hello without looking back.

"Busy, huh?"

Kishida leaned on the edge of the door and hugged his stomach, looked at their busy backs curiously, and then lifted the curtain to look at the store.

"It's okay, I'm almost done."

Akemi looked at the soup base that kept bubbling up, looked at the time again, and asked casually.

"Oh."

Kishida nodded slightly, sniffed deeply through his nose, and the aroma in the air made his already hungry and numb stomach squirm again, and then got down to business: "Where's my lunch?" ”

"It's going to take a few minutes."

"Isn't it!"

Hearing this, Kishida's eyelids drooped.

"Who told you to come back so late?"

As she spoke, Akemi picked up the spoon, scooped a little soup into the pot, and blew lightly, before holding the spoon close to her lips and carefully sipping a little of the soup.

Sure enough, the time for the soup base to boil is still too short, it can only be said to be delicious, but it is not perfect, but it can only be called that, Akemi shook her head, obviously quite dissatisfied with her work, but time is pressing, and someone has not much time left for her.

"How can I be blamed for this!? It's not so many bus stops, going around, it's better to drive yourself, but maybe because of good luck today, there was a car accident shortly after going out, and now the car is still repaired in the repair shop. ”

"Huh? Car accident!? ”

Akemi had just boiled the water and poured the soup on the noodles at the bottom of the bowl, intending to put the meat slices that had been prepared long ago, sweet corn kernels, boiled mung bean sprouts, wakame, half a soft-boiled egg, minced shallots, and other ingredients.

Good luck, I got into a car accident when I went out...... This is. What do you mean???

Unlike the nervous Akemi, Saki Nishitani, who had been ignored on the side, blinked, and always felt that this sentence sounded very weird.

"Don't worry, I'm quick to react, nothing happens."

In the face of Akemi's probing eyes, Kishida shrugged her shoulders casually, only to find that her forehead was covered with beads of sweat and dripping down her smooth cheeks, looking exhausted.

"What are you doing? How do you get sweaty? Don't rush to do it slowly, just let the guests wait a little longer, it's okay. ”

Kishida frowned, and stepped forward with a worried look in his eyes, due to the angle, he could only judge what she was cooking with Akemi's movements, but he didn't know what she was doing.

"Guests can wait, I don't dare to let you wait longer, if I accidentally make you angry, I'm afraid you will fire me directly."

Akemi chuckled and teased, and only then did she have time to take out the handkerchief she had bought in the morning and wipe the sweat from her face.

Handmade noodles are not easy to make, just kneading into strips, stretching and folding, twisting into twists and beating have to be done 6-7 times, it has already consumed a lot of energy, not to mention the preparation of other miscellaneous materials.

"What do you mean? What can't I wait? Hey, it's ramen!? What do you do making ramen in a dessert shop...... Uh, this can't be for me, right? ”

Kishida was originally confused by Akemi's words, but as he got closer and closer, he naturally saw the bowl of fragrant ramen. He wasn't stupid, and he understood what she meant at once, but he was even more confused.

"Didn't you already make lunch?"

When Akemi nodded in affirmation, Kishida asked suspiciously.

"Well, the food was heated twice, I tried it, and the taste and texture changed, so I poured it."

Akemi wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, only to feel that her face was hot, but she still smiled calmly and replied.

"Down? Such a waste!? ”

Kishida subconsciously exclaimed.

？？？ Boss, isn't there something wrong with your focus?

Saki Nishitani, who pretended to make a cake on the side, but actually ate melons silently, only felt that his boss's brain circuit was probably hopeless.

“....... It's not that I'm afraid you'll be too picky. ”

Similarly, Akemi was silent for a while before she secretly gritted her teeth and glared at Kishida viciously, just about to turn her head and ignore him and continue to complete the final steps of ramen, but found that Kishida's eyes were locked on her face, and an indescribable emotion surged in her eyes.

"Again, what, what's wrong?"

Akemi was a little flustered and asked, her head subconsciously deflected at a thirty-degree angle.

"Whew, I said ....."

Seeing this, Kishida couldn't help but stretch out his hands and press on her fragrant shoulders, pulling her face towards him again, and then exhaled deeply and spoke softly.

"Huh!?"

Her mind was empty, and for some reason, at the moment of re-looking at each other, Akemi's heart suddenly trembled, making her want to break free from avoidance.

"Bang!"

I saw Kishida let go of one hand, put his thumb against his index finger, and slammed a brain melon at the center of Akemi's eyebrows.

"It hurts! What are you doing? ”

Akemi covered her head in pain, and her whole body was confused.

"Thanks, senior sister, but don't do this next time, I'm very picky about eating, but not to this extent. I went back so late last night, and I got up early in the morning to make breakfast, so you might as well rest a little more and don't get tired.

"I can be hungry for a while, but I don't dare to tire you, if I accidentally make you bored and leave, I am afraid that I will not be able to find you like this in the future..... The store manager came to manage the store for me. So this brain crash is a lesson, you know? ”

An indescribable feeling suddenly rose from the depths of his soul, Kishida thought about it in his mind, smiled on his face, and said in a rare and strong tone.

“...... Got it! Like a big man, hum, he also taught me a lesson, no big or small, I'm a senior sister! ”

After being silent for a long time, Akemi glared at Kishida angrily, and casually slapped away his other hand that was still on his shoulder.

"Yes, yes, but don't forget that I'm the boss."

"Shhhh Just now I said that I was afraid that I would be bored and leave, so you will use this to press me in the blink of an eye! ”

"Well, just now, it's just now, it's now~"

Kishida raised his eyebrows and replied.

“...... Heh, I think I'd better eat this ramen by myself, and I just happened to be quite hungry. ”

Akemi was helpless and a little angry.

"Don't, how can you finish eating so much!"

"What about Sha Ji, do you want to eat it together?"

Akemi opened her arms to block Kishida, who wanted to snatch the ramen, and shouted at Saki Nishitani.

"No, no need, eat yourselves, I'm full! Belch! ”

Hearing this, Saki Nishitani, who had no sense of existence, shook his head and burped deeply.
