Well, the next day of school ended in peace. I think Kaito's guy said something to me, but I was too sleepy to remember it. So I hurriedly log into the game today. No, there's no reason to hurry... there's nothing in particular I want to do. If I had to say anything, I'd say that since I have Setia's leveling up and Setia's harvesting and dispensing skills, I might as well try to collect and create some potion materials in the forest of young trees... and then it might be time to summon a list. I can make a lot of ordinary magic stones.

While thinking that, I wake up in the inn. Currently, Lily, Aeon, and Setia are in my bed. I was used to Lily and Ion, but Setia's outfit is a navel-gazing miniskirt... all sorts of dangerous. Well, with the ironclad security of this game, you can't see anything!

I woke up and so did the three of them. And as usual, I go downstairs and there are a lot of people there. Or rather, there's a line. I wondered what was going on, but all the customers were ordering tsukune. Come to think of it, you made a lot of tsukune yesterday.

'Ah! Takuto, I'm sorry, but can you hurry up and make the tsukune, please? We have plenty of material to work with.

'Oh, yes. Okay.

I headed to the kitchen and began to mass-produce the tsukune. The three girls went to their designated counter. They've been getting a spot lately.

As I'm cooking the three of us and making the tsukune, a customer walks in.

'Hey! I don't like it! Please keep them in order!

Hmm? That's Mr. Moch's voice. What's that? Did we have an annoying visitor?

Don't touch me! You filthy folk!

What is it? The air is disturbing. I look from the kitchen to the restaurant and see a handsome blonde guy dressed as a chef. However, he reeked of bonbons in a good way. When I called Mr. Moch-san a dirty commoner, I don't think he was out of line. And Mr. Mochi didn't talk back.

Then this blonde handsome man approached Lily who was trying to eat the tsukune at the counter, took the tsukune from her, took it from her, and when she ate it, she spat it out with a "poof" and threw the half-eaten tsukune on the floor.

'Ah! Lilly's tsukune!

I can hear Lily crying.

Something snapped inside me. Probably any cook would not be able to forgive this guy for what he did.

"Don't yell at me. You're a subhuman. You just threw away bad food.

Lily, Aeon and Setia glared at the handsome man at his words. Then they didn't like his attitude.

''What! Those eyes!

A handsome man raises his hand to Lily and the others. Sensing this beforehand, I grab the man's hand to stop it.

'Tact...'

'I'm sorry, but these boys are my summonses... if you want to hit them, could you take on the boa?'

The handsome man gets grumpy when I say that.

'You... how dare you touch me with your unwashed hands like that...'

'I'm sorry. I didn't think there was any need for decorum for someone who takes someone's food and throws it on the floor after they've prepared it so carefully.

He snorts at me and laughs.

"Hmm, you're the one who made that crappy meal?

Yes, but what is it?

I'm impressed that you could produce a dish like that.

'I'm not at all happy to be impressed by someone who doesn't care about food just for the sake of looking like that.

When I say that, the handsome man has a blue streak on his face. Oooh. Are you mad at me by any chance?

You think it's all about style?

Did I say something wrong?

You!

The guy tries to grab me by the chest. Is that self-defense? I play a hand that's trying to grab my chest, and in turn, grab my neck and lift it up.

'Wha! Ugh...

You're not...

Let go...

I don't know you at all.

I say, and when I let go of his head, the handsome man falls to the floor.

'You... you think you can get away with this for free! I'm going to shut this place down.

Why don't you do it?

I stay at this inn, but I don't run it!

'Wait a minute~? It's my shop!

Mr. Moch is screaming his heart out. Well, I'm going to scream.

"Very well. I'm gonna teach you a real meal.

When the handsome man said that, the infos flowed.

''A special quest 'Cooking contest battle' has occurred. Do you want to accept it?''

Special Quest "Cooking Contest Battle": Difficulty Level B
Win a contest-style cooking battle against an amazing chef.
Rewards vary depending on contest scores!

Heh, that's an interesting quest. It's a tough one, but I'm not going to let this guy beat me.

"Yeah, I'll take that one. I'll take that challenge! I'm going to teach you a lesson to a bon vivant who has no decorum or anything else. The spirit of a chef!

The customers in the shop boil over at my words.

'Good! Teach him some manners! Boy!
Let him beat the crap out of you.
Show him the power of the people!

The handsome man snickers at his guest who looks like that and turns to leave, but I call out to him. 'You're forgetting something important,' he says.

'You didn't pay for your tsukune,'

I don't have any money to pay for that!

Heh. That's how you get away from playing me? What you did was robbery, eating and drinking without paying. If you get caught, I win the game, right?

Huh!

The handsome man turns red in the face, slams the money on a nearby desk and leaves the store.

'Every time~'

That's what Mr. Moch says, but he's obviously laughing.

And when the man is completely gone, all the customers in the shop start laughing at the same time.

'Duh! Hahahaha! You saw that! His face!

"Oh, no, I'm good to see! Oh, brother, you said it best! That was awesome!

"We're rooting for you, man! See? Everyone!

"Oh!

'Today is a feast! Manager, please add more sake and tsukune~!

I want one too!

'Yes, yes~. I'm sorry, Takuto-kun, but can you make tsukune? Oh, you can add more for Lily, okay?

Yes, sir.

Apparently, today's plans have changed. That good-looking pride of yours, I'm going to send you to the depths of hell.
