Don't force me to use my right fist.

The hectic cooking finally had a chance to catch its breath after the arrival of the blonde, ponytail-wearing girl who had received Saya's request.

The slightly late Mami tidied her hair, which wasn't messy at all, nodded to Saya, and then took over the task of mixing drinks from him.

"I already told you, my expertise is mainly in making black tea, coffee, and desserts. Don't expect too much from me in other areas."

She held up a finger to remind Saya, and the girl named Hachimami quickly blended into the kitchen.

She had already noticed outside that the so-called waiters were all genuine, but since it was Saya's place, she figured it was unlikely that anyone would dare to hit her or attack a student. So she didn't ask Saya anything more.

Compared to these ghosts who are basically devoid of malice, it's the girl who serves as the signboard girl for Sawa's restaurant that's attracting so many people.

However, as the old saying goes, this time it's Saya's responsibility. If something really goes wrong, regardless of the consequences, at the very least Saya will look bad.

"What were you doing just now? Letting Aqua come over alone first, that doesn't seem like something you would do." whl

Saya frowned, but didn't stop his work. He directly asked Hachimami.

The thing that could hold her back must be related to some strange and unusual things.

"Yes, on the way here I encountered a weirdo who was holding a pair of scissors and insisted on asking me if her face, which was covered by a mask, looked good. In the end, I could only tell her it looked good."

Mami casually explained to Saya why she was late. She knew very well that as a magical girl, the immense magical power she possessed made it common for her to be targeted by strange beings.

After listening to her explanation, Sōyu scratched his head somewhat awkwardly. After all that talk, it seemed that she was just a Slit-Mouthed Woman. He had thought she was so lucky to have encountered a demon god's familiar.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. With Yamami's strength, she can handle ordinary monsters, but if she encounters those strangely powerful demons' subordinates, she doesn't seem like she could escape unscathed, let alone explain herself to me so calmly as she is now.

Sōyū sighed. He had thought he could almost collect all seven deadly sins, but he was still a little disappointed.

He already possessed the auras of four different demon god's familiars. With the aura with the rage affix that Shiki gave him last night, he has now gathered five of the seven deadly sins.

Only jealousy and arrogance remained unseen in Sawa, who sometimes wondered if he could summon Shenron if he could truly collect all seven episodes.

Of course, this was just something Saya was thinking about for fun. You should know that these familiars all possess powerful and strange abilities, and finding them is a very difficult task.

As of now, Major Yu has no clue how to find them and can only hope that fate will bring them to him.

Yamami never expected Saya to think about these kinds of things.

As she kept her promise to Sōyū and helped him mix drinks, she didn't forget to glance at him during her spare time. "Hey, why did you only bring one little girlfriend today? Where's your princess? Is she jealous and not coming?"

The blonde girl deliberately moved closer to Saya, lowering her voice so that Amakawa Tsubasa couldn't hear her, and quietly made a sarcastic remark to her.

"Of course not. The two of them have a better relationship than you think. It's not because she's jealous, but because she has things to do herself."

Saya raised an eyebrow and explained, but he didn't refute what Yamami had just said about Amakawa Tsubasa being his girlfriend.

Is there anything wrong with her?

Chapter 628 Unexpected Visitor

Tomie Kawashita's influence was even greater than Saya had imagined. She simply changed into an outfit that couldn't even be called a signboard girl and stood at the entrance, yet she already gave this small restaurant the feeling that you had to queue and take a number.

Of course, the unique decor of Saga and the staff who walk as if they're teleporting, making one wonder if these elderly people are all former figure skating instructors, are also major attractions.

Finally, with the added benefit of Sayu's cooking skills, which can be described as the system's master chef, the dish is both fun and delicious, which is how Sayu truly understands the art of cooking.

That's why this place is so popular.

To do something well is something Sōyu always likes to do, not to mention that he had already promised Keine that he would make his class stand out at the school festival.

Saya is quite satisfied with what he has achieved.

Therefore, even though he spent a lot of time in the restaurant's kitchen, Saya always had a smile on his face.

As for Amakawa Tsubasa, she was able to keep up with Saiyu's pace at first, helping him out, but as Saiyu's speed gradually increased, she inevitably became somewhat exhausted.

To be honest, she wasn't some kind of blocky person with unlimited firepower like Saya. She wasn't suited for high-intensity exercise, so she quickly ended up as an outsider responsible for serving the dishes Saya prepared to the waiters.

Fortunately, this matter allowed her to observe Saya's actions without needing an excuse, which made her quite happy.

With one hand supporting her on the table, Yuchuan Yi leaned forward in front of Saya, her beautiful eyes, hidden behind round glasses, staring intently at Saya's every move, while a sweet and happy smile remained on her lips.

"I know you're probably thinking right now that if he becomes your husband in the future, it wouldn't be bad to spend every day like this, right?"

Feeling like she'd been unwittingly made a third wheel, Yamami reluctantly served the brewed black tea to Saya and Amakawa Tsubasa, and said helplessly.

She didn't try to hide her thoughts at all when she looked at him; it seems this girl has already fallen under Zuoyou's spell of love, and there's no way to save her now.

"Is that so? But I feel like something's missing. If it's really as you say, then there's obviously something very important that you haven't brought up."

Amakawa Tsubasa has nothing to be shy about. Perhaps she might be a little shy around Saya, but they've already confessed their love to each other, so what's there to explain?

Sōyū shut his mouth, focusing only on how to prepare the dishes in his hands.

Now was clearly not the time for him to interrupt, but Saya actually understood quite well what Amakawa Tsubasa wanted to say.

If you imagine yourself as a diligent husband cooking, and Amakawa Tsubasa as the wife eagerly awaiting the meal, then what's truly missing is the fruit of their love.

Sawa really likes children. A long time ago, he even had the idea that he would have several children in the future, preferably enough to make a mahjong table.

But if he said it now, Saya would die of shame without even needing Yamami to say anything more.

This guy is only a high school student, and he's already thinking about kids. If Amakawa Tsubasa wasn't thinking about that, then what he said would be truly laughable.

Fortunately, Yamami was just joking and didn't really mean to make fun of Saya.

So soon, the small kitchen fell silent again, with only the clanging of spatulas from Saya's cooking and the occasional calls of menu-bearing Tomie Kawashita.

The influx of customers had been nonstop since morning. Sōyū didn't even need to do much calculation; he knew very well that if he relied solely on sales figures, he could reliably fulfill his promise to Keine to win first place at the academy festival by the end of the morning.

Zuo You worked intensely for three whole hours, and the restaurant only quieted down a little after breakfast time had passed.

The strange thing is that Sayu not only had a great idea, but he also had a natural talent for attracting people by finding a female signboard girl. Coupled with his extraordinary skills, it would be hard for him not to become popular.

A few guests were still coming in sporadically. At this point, Yu Chuan Yi, who had been resting for who knows how long, finally came in handy. She couldn't bear to see Saya working so hard, so she smiled and gently pushed him out of the kitchen, agreeing that he should rest for half an hour first.

"Nothing is more comfortable than taking a break from work and lying down."

Sōyū adjusted his posture to feel more comfortable. Before he could even think about whether to close his eyes and take a nap, a shadow from the light covering his face made him involuntarily open his eyes.

What came into view was the pretty face of a woman with white hair and red eyes, a standard feature that could be said to perfectly match the aesthetic standards of the Chinese. Her delicate and stunning face held a look of doubt and curiosity as she stared at Zuo You, leaving him momentarily speechless and unable to decide what to do.

After standing there stunned for a few seconds, Saya slowly sat up from his chair and looked at the woman who had suddenly appeared in front of him. The reason he didn't call her a girl was because her perfect S-shaped figure didn't seem like something that could be found in a high school. In fact, the aura she unintentionally exuded could only remind Saya of the word "rich lady."

Admittedly, her small face, which was not much different from that of a young girl, was very deceptive, but couldn't it be countered by the fact that she had a mature figure and that Kaguya, who had been missing since morning, was following behind her? After thinking for a moment, Saku quickly realized the true identity of the woman in front of him.

The only person who could make Kaguya stand so obediently behind her, seemingly lacking even the courage to utter a word, is probably her legendary mother.

Why did her mother come to the college to see her at this time?

Did she know her daughter wanted to build a harem, so she killed him beforehand?

It actually seems like that's quite possible, doesn't it?

Sōyū broke out in a cold sweat; time could only respond with an awkward smile to the woman before him.

Chapter 629 Good heavens, it's not small, it's big!

Hello, how can I help you?

That being said, continuing this awkward staring contest clearly wouldn't solve the problem, and Sawa knew this very well. So, he could only grit his teeth and forcefully ask the woman in front of him a question.

If it were the previous Sawa, he would at most have seen the woman freeze for a moment, and there wouldn't have been such an awkward situation.

The main reason, as Sawa has to say now, is that, logically speaking, he's at a huge disadvantage.

But the situation is completely different now. It's because Sawa set himself the goal of building a harem. Even if he can get past Kaguya, the woman in front of him will turn into the most terrifying weapon in legend: his mother-in-law.

Zuoyou wasn't the kind of person who couldn't afford the bride price, nor was he afraid of any difficult conditions this woman who might become his mother-in-law would propose.

It's safe to say that if she truly only cared for her daughter, Zuoyou doesn't think she would tolerate a boy taking Kaguya into his harem.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Sōyū was already at a significant disadvantage and at a disadvantage.

"The way you're looking at me is strange. Do you know me?"

As expected of Kaguya's mother, although their hair color and pupils make it impossible to tell that they are mother and daughter, she is undoubtedly beautiful.

Slightly frowning, the white-haired woman before Sōyu stared intently into his eyes, her sharp gaze seeming to pierce through his very soul.

Swallowing hard, Saya pointed at Kaguya behind him, who was silent but clearly in a bad mood.

"Even if I don't know you, I know Kaguya. The only person who could make her willingly stand behind her is her mother."

"Oh, no wonder this girl told me you never care about current affairs or politics. I thought you had seen me on the cover of some financial magazine or in the newspaper."

Pointing her finger at the delicate face of a woman who didn't look like a girl at all, the white-haired woman continued to look at Saya in front of her with some curiosity.

"Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet, have I? My name is Hatsaki Tessa, the current head of the Hatsaki family. You can just call me Aunt Hatsaki."

He cupped his face in one hand. The moment the name was revealed, Zuoyou was already at a loss for words.

It turns out he had underestimated the Kaguya family's background. He had thought the woman in front of him might be based on a character like the Madam or an adult version of Illya, but when he heard her name, he was completely dumbfounded.

Tired of the Lesser Grail? Now you've come up with the Greater Grail, huh?

Saya was half-numbed; it was only because he now possessed some strength that he wouldn't have bothered with Kaguya's mess upon hearing that name.

And Sawa finally understood why Kaguya had said that the people of the Church of Truth would send her into reincarnation before her birthday.

If I remember correctly, Kaguya once said that her mother was supposed to return from abroad on her birthday, according to the original plan.

How could those guys from the Truth Church not be racing against time?

"What? Are you so curious about my name?"

Seeing that Saya was stunned after hearing her self-introduction, the woman named Hatsaki Tessa tilted her head and asked Saya with some confusion.

Her innate intuition told her that the boy in front of her might have already sensed part of her secret the moment he heard her name.

"No, no, I just don't know what brings you, the head of the Hanesaki family, to a place like this?"

Given Kaguya's usual hectic schedule, her mother, as the official head of the family, should theoretically have a mountain of things to deal with when she gets home. So, the fact that she suddenly came to the school makes it hard for Saya not to be curious.

"Well, I said I was a little hungry, so I just randomly picked a restaurant to grab something to eat. Is that explanation acceptable to you?"

With a bright and sunny smile on her face, completely different from Kaguya's usual icy expression that seemed to say someone owed her money, Hatsaki Tessa looked around at the restaurant that Saya had meticulously prepared before adding another sentence to him.

"After all, this is the first time I've ever seen a restaurant that actually employs ghosts to work.

With her finger pressed against her lower lip, Hatsaki Tessa whispered these words to Saya, then winked at him.

After she said that, Sawa basically understood everything.
