"Wash the dishes cleanly! If they're not clean, be careful, I'll deduct your salary."
Tohru put on the air of a proprietress and added.
"I... I understand, I'll do my best."
Yusa Emi sighed, on the verge of tears.
"Oh, by the way, your previous job was a telephone operator, right?"
Satou suddenly asked.
"Ah, yes."
She instinctively replied.
"Hmm, then from now on, the restaurant's phone will be your responsibility, taking care of those reservation guests."
Satou breathed a sigh of relief and said.
Previously, Elma and Tohru had been answering the phone, but those two were not very bright and often mixed up guests' names, causing quite a few embarrassing situations.
Now, giving this job to Yusa Emi was clearly very suitable.
After assigning the tasks, it was time for dining, and guests began to arrive one after another.
Satou then went into the kitchen and got busy.
At this moment, he did not know that in his Apartment, a strange senior student had snuck in and was happily rolling around on his bed, hugging his quilt.
After finishing the day's business, it was finally time to close.
After finishing the delicious late-night snack, Yusa Emi looked at Satou expectantly.
Satou was made helpless by her gaze and said, "I know, if your work is fine, your wages won't be shorted."
Then he stood up and checked her work for the day.
The dishes were very clean, neatly stacked in the cupboard, and the names of the guests who called to make reservations were also recorded in the notebook next to the phone.
So he nodded in satisfaction and said, "You did well. Here, this is your pay for today."
Looking at the several 10,000 yen bills in her hand, Yusa Emi's face showed a happy smile, and the feeling of shame from working for the Demon King instantly lessened a lot.
"Well then, keep up the good work tomorrow."
Satou encouraged her.
"Mm."
Yusa Emi nodded, and a faint hint of gratitude appeared in her eyes as she looked at Satou.
After receiving the money, she suddenly realized that this job was actually quite good: generous pay, and she could also eat incredibly delicious food.
Hmm, if she ignored the fact that the other party was the Demon King.
At the same time, Kasumigaoka Utaha also walked out of Satou's room.
Every day, Satou would go to the small restaurant to work on time, and sometimes he would be lazy, but after such a long time, she had already accurately calculated the time and knew that Satou and the others would be back soon.
Of course, this time, she didn't forget to take her spoils of war from Satou's room.
She rubbed her face against the white shirt, took a deep breath, and a look of intoxication appeared on her face.
Then, she did not return to the adjacent Apartment but chose to go straight home.
On this day, Satou slept in his own room again.
"Huh? Why do I smell a strange scent again today?"
He frowned, vaguely sensing a faint, elusive fragrance that felt somewhat familiar.
But when he tried to smell it again, he couldn't detect it.
"How strange."
Satou shook his head, and suddenly, he found a few long black hairs in his quilt.
"It's appeared again?"
He mumbled, "Oh, right, Tohru, did you air the quilt today?"
"Eh? I just happened to air it today."
Tohru, who was walking in wearing pajamas, paused and said.
"No wonder."
Satou nodded, thinking it must have gotten in when the quilt was being aired, so he said, "Then let's sleep."
"Mm!"
Tohru climbed up and smiled happily.
However, when Satou woke up the next day, he found that one of his white shirts was missing!
"Tohru, have you seen my white shirt?"
He asked.
"Huh? The white shirt, I remember putting it in the drawer, isn't it there?"
Tohru yawned, still somewhat sleepy.
"No, it's not."
Satou shook his head and mumbled, "It's probably with the Tsundere again."
A few days passed in a flash.
"Host has cumulatively processed over one hundred ingredients with the Seven Star Sword - Breaking Army, unlocking the hidden attribute of the Seven Star Sword - Breaking Army..."
Hidden Attribute Description: Ingredients processed with the Seven Star Sword - Breaking Army can greatly enhance their taste."
In the classroom, Satou suddenly heard the system's voice.
"Finally unlocked?"
Satou put down the Seven Star Sword - Breaking Army in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the Seven Star Sword - Breaking Army was a serrated knife, there were far fewer opportunities to use it than the Seven Star Knives, but he had been deliberately accumulating ingredients, and he didn't expect to finally succeed today.
The unlocked hidden attribute of the Seven Star Sword - Breaking Army was similar to that of the Seven Star Sword - Breaking Army, both enhancing the taste of ingredients, but the Seven Star Sword - Breaking Army only applied to large ingredients, while the Seven Star Sword - Breaking Army could be used to process small ingredients.
The two complemented each other.
"Host has cumulatively unlocked the attributes of five Seven Star Knives, receiving a reward: one gourmet gift package and one Seven Star Knife."
"Great, now there's only one Seven Star Knife left."
Satou couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
In his excitement, he accidentally blurted out this sentence, and everyone in the classroom turned their heads to look at him strangely.
"Satou, what's wrong?"
Tadokoro Megumi, who was helping him with the cooking nearby, looked up and glanced at him with great concern.
"Oh, nothing."
Satou quickly lowered his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"I say, Satou, have you been arguing with Erina Nakiri recently? No wonder you're so distracted."
Yuuki leaned over, stuck out her tongue, and said.
"No," Satou said. "Erina and I are doing great."
"Really?" Ryoko Sakaki walked over, a mysterious smile on her face. "But, Satou, it looks like you've been wearing that shirt for two days, haven't you? Is Miss Erina not washing your clothes anymore?"
"Haha, I bet they had a fight, didn't they?" Yukihira Soma burst out laughing.
Hearing them bring that up, Satou felt a bit speechless, because he had noticed recently that he was always losing clothes. Sometimes it was shirts, sometimes jackets, and once, even a pair of underwear went missing.
He had originally wanted to change into a fresh shirt this morning, but suddenly couldn't find one. Out of helplessness, he could only wear yesterday's.
He started to suspect if his house had been targeted by a thief.
