My girlfriend is Saiki Kusunoki

After Tomoe started working at this shop, she gradually became more and more familiar with it.

"Well, since summer vacation is coming up, I'm planning to make some money before it starts so we can go on a trip for a few days. By the way, are Nanako-senpai and Naoto-senpai here on their date today too?"

"Yeah, I happen to have some free time this weekend. Tomoe is so cute, has she found a boyfriend yet?"

Naoto wasn't embarrassed by Tomoe's question, since the whole school already knew about Naoto and Nanako's relationship, so there was no need to hide it.

Tomoe blushed when Naoto asked her that question.

"No way, I don't have the habit of finding a boyfriend in high school. No matter what, I'll wait until college to find one. Boys these days are too immature."

Although Tomoe said that, the girl's expression was obviously off, and her eyes were darting around as she looked at Sakuta, who was yawning from exhaustion inside.

Seeing Tomoe's expression, Naoto and Nanako simply shook their heads. In their view, Sakuta and Mai's relationship was too strong for a third person to interfere. Their affection for each other was the strongest in the entire club, so Tomoe was bound to be disappointed.

"Is this what they call a young girl's youthful yet painful love?"

For some reason, Nanzi suddenly blurted out that sentence, which almost made Naoto choke.

Nanzi, although we both know this is hopeless, there's no need to be so direct.

"Oh no, the seniors are still waiting inside. Well then, Senior Nanako and Senior Naoto, have a great date today."

At this moment, Tomoe seemed to realize that she had stayed there for too long, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to help.

Seeing Tomoe's energetic appearance, both Nanako and Naoto couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Ha, I knew it. A good girl like Tomoe has fallen for someone who will never work out. I really want to give Sakuta a good beating."

Naoto looked at Sakuta, who was busy working inside, and then said something like this.

"What's wrong? Are you jealous of Sakuta?"

Upon hearing Naoto's words, Nanko couldn't help but ask him a question.

"Jealousy? How could I? After all, I know that accumulating too much bad karma will eventually lead to hell. Besides, I already have the watchful eye of a deity, so how could I possibly ask for more?"

Under Naoto's sudden sweet talk, Nanko couldn't help but blush.

Naoto also knows about Sakuta's situation; sometimes being too gentle can even hurt himself to please others.

Naoto doesn't think he can do what Sakuta did.

So, let Sakuta take care of what he owes, even though this doesn't conflict with Naoto's desire to punch Sakuta.

Nanko looked at Naoto silently, but Naoto was no different. His gentleness was just expressed in a different way.

Just as Nanako and Naoto were enjoying breakfast, a strange situation suddenly occurred in the restaurant.

Chapter 194: Who exactly are you?

"Yes, I'm sorry, sir, I didn't notice just now. I'll bring you another one right away."

"Didn't you notice?! You little brat, do you even know what you just did?! You ruined my newly finished drawing! Do you know how valuable this drawing is?! How are you going to compensate me?!"

While Naoto and Kusuko were enjoying breakfast at the cafe, they suddenly heard arguing coming from afar.

Upon closer inspection, the two realized that it was Tomoe who was being harassed by a strange man.

Just as Tomoe was about to serve coffee to the guests at this table, she suddenly tripped for some reason, and the coffee fell onto the guest's manuscript.

It looks like this manuscript is completely ruined.

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"

"What's the use of just apologizing! Do you even know what this comic is?! This is the original manuscript for the famous 'Ms. Aji's Daily,' and now we're going to miss the deadline! What are we going to do?!"

The man was furious and was shouting insults at Tomoe. The commotion even attracted Sakuta, who was in the kitchen.

"What happened, sir?"

"Damn it! Ask this waiter what happened! I came here because I heard that ONE is a regular customer. I wanted to draw here, but you just soaked my drawing! Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?"

Upon hearing the man's words, Sakuta was also taken aback. After looking at the wet drawing on the table, he realized that this matter was not easy to resolve.

Unexpectedly, the one who got into trouble this time was a manga artist who was attracted by Naoto.

"Sir, we are very sorry for the loss caused to you. We can waive the cost of your order and also provide you with appropriate compensation for your losses..."

"Compensation for losses?! Do you know how valuable my original manuscript is?! You want to pay me back, huh? One million and I'll pretend this never happened!"

"One million?!"

Upon hearing the outrageous price, everyone who overheard the argument was stunned.

(One million?! Is this for real?! A manuscript costs that much?!)

(Probably, after all, a single original manuscript costs tens of thousands of yuan, and you also have to factor in the losses incurred due to delays.)

(This is the original manuscript for a JUMP manga series, so a million dollars is definitely possible.)

(I never expected this person to be a JUMP manga artist.)

Meanwhile, Naoto, who had been secretly observing, could no longer contain himself and wanted to go over there.

"Naoto, do you want to go help?"

"That's true, but if I go there now, it will only make things more complicated."

Naoto was conflicted at this point. He knew that this serialized manga was the work of Enguchi-sensei, and there was no such manga artist among the current serialized manga artists in JUMP.

Although Naoto didn't know how this person obtained the original manuscript by Enguchi-sensei, if Naoto went up to him rashly, it would put Sakuta and the others in danger. After all, Naoto had only taken a look from afar and it was indeed the manuscript by Enguchi-sensei.

"Actually, that person tripped Tomoe on purpose."

"Intentional? Why would he do that?"

"because……"

At this moment, Nanko whispered something in Naoto's ear, and Naoto quickly understood everything.

"Hey! How are you guys going to resolve this?! I'm telling you, if you don't give my brother a satisfactory explanation, I'm going to report you online! I'll say that this place is actually a shady business!"

As things escalated, Tomoe was on the verge of tears.

After all, Tomoe is just a novice high school girl. How could she possibly stay calm about something like this?

Meanwhile, Sakuta was already considering whether or not to ask Mai to resolve the matter.

Although it was somewhat embarrassing to do this, Sakuta had no choice but to do it in order to prevent things from escalating further.

"Let me handle this."

Just as Sakuta was about to make a phone call, Naoto's hand was already on Sakuta's shoulder.

"Naoto?! You..."

"Don't worry, I'll handle this."

Seeing Naoto's confident expression, Sakuta gradually calmed down. In Sakuta's eyes, Naoto was practically omnipotent.

"And who are you? Let me tell you, if you don't pay me back today, I'm going to the police station to report you!"

"Really? I think you're the one who should be going to the police station, right?"

"What did you say?!"

Naoto picked up the wet drawing, glanced at it, and then threw it on the table.

"This manuscript isn't the original at all; it's a discarded draft, isn't it, Mr. Qin Kou San Niao?"

How do you know my name?!

When he heard Naoto call him by his name, Qin Kou San Niao exclaimed in surprise.

"I not only know your name, but I also know that you're not a serialized manga artist. You're just an assistant who was recently fired by Mr. Enguchi. Am I right?"

Upon hearing Naoto's words, Qin Kou San Niao broke out in a cold sweat.

"I just called Mr. Yuankou to confirm. You secretly sold Mr. Yuankou's unused paintings and made a lot of money. After Mr. Yuankou found out, you were fired. Mr. Yuankou didn't call the police because he thought you had been his assistant for so long. I didn't expect you to dare to show up here? And you even deliberately tripped the waitress and made her wet the painting, just to get compensation from this store, right?"

"You, you're talking nonsense! What makes you think I deliberately tripped her!"

"Ha, have you forgotten that this store actually has security cameras? Your little tricks can't be hidden from the cameras."

At this moment, Naoto pointed to the camera in the corner and then said with a smile.

Upon hearing that this person had deliberately tripped her, Tomoe immediately realized what had happened.

No wonder I felt like I tripped over something when I was serving coffee; it was this person who did it.

"You bastard, I just tripped over that girl by accident, why are you saying I did it on purpose! Besides, this painting is clearly mine! Why are you saying it's not the original!"

Under Zhi Ren's influence, Qin Kou San Niao began to ramble incoherently, his words becoming increasingly rambling and thoughtless.

"Really? It seems you don't know. Teacher Yuankou's works all have a strong personal touch. Although this manuscript is not very complete and is a bit hasty, it can still be vaguely seen. Besides, should we wait a few more days to see if other people's works are updated on time?"

Upon arriving here, Qin Kou San Niao knew they had met their match; if things continued this way, they would inevitably suffer losses.

"Stealing other people's artwork and deliberately causing trouble in my friend's shop? It seems I need to make you realize who you've messed with."

"Who the hell are you?"

"Coming here to cause trouble, and you don't even know who I am? Listen up, I am ONE!"

Chapter 195: Someone Holding a Resentment

"Who exactly are you, kid?!"

At this point, someone who was already furious loudly questioned Naoto.

He was just one step away from achieving his goal when an unexpected obstacle appeared, ruining his plans.

"Me? Who am I? I am ONE."

When confronted with Qin Kou San Niao's questioning, Naoto simply said...

"You say you're ONE? Don't be ridiculous. A little kid like you dares to call yourself ONE?"

As for Naoto's claim that he is ONE, Qin Kou San Niao's inability to believe it stems not only from Naoto's disguise this time, but also from Qin Kou San Niao's instinctive disbelief.

In his opinion, the claim that the store frequented by the genius manga artist ONE is just a gimmick. In fact, ONE probably only came a few times, but the store owner directly gave it the title of being a frequent visitor of ONE.

If someone really frequents these places, there's no reason why other people online wouldn't expose them.
