Tokyo Soft Rice King.

Food, desserts, drinks—they have everything, and you can even play with the waitresses you request…

However, the price listed later is very problematic.

"Uh... a cappuccino and... a kiss?! No, what the heck is this?! Who am I supposed to kiss?!"

Junko Ohno, who was originally going to order, stared wide-eyed at the bizarre price tag.

Kuroba Akira sighed and said to Makoto.

"Ha...that's my special menu, Zhen Cheng, you gave me the wrong menu."

"Ah, sorry meow... But, should we give the teachers a 'girls-only menu'?"

"...That's true, it seems the teachers don't need it... Well, if the teachers choose it, I'll take the blame."

"Okay, thank you, Master Meow."

If Kuroba Akira came by himself, he wouldn't dare order anything here.

Because the cost is extremely high.

"Isn't this your family's coffee shop, Ming Shao?! Are you going to pay for it yourself?"

"No need to pay money... just need to repay with sex."

"What's with this menu that's only for girls?! Let me see it!"

Junko Ohno snatched the pink menu directly from Makoto's hand.

None of the services on the menu are legitimate.

They are all special services such as 'Master's XXX' or 'With Master XXX'.

The price to pay is... workload and achievements.

This is a devilish café where love and desire are traded.

Chapter 481 The Real Harem Capitalist

This ordering system is a new model that was developed after Kuroba Akira gave some rewards to the cute artists who worked hard to meet their deadlines.

When Kuroba Akira orders at the coffee shop, the price he has to pay is himself, but he doesn't pay on the spot; instead, it's recorded as a credit transaction.

These costs will then become the items on the pink menu exclusively for girls.

If people want to receive rewards, they need to sell their labor.

So in reality, both sides are paying for it with their bodies.

"Ah! I see! The reason they're working so hard is because they want to gain something here!"

Junko Ohno suddenly realized why the other side was a scene of hell.

Because as long as you endure the time in hell, you can come here to enjoy heavenly pleasures.

"And then, Ming, you look like you've lost dozens of pounds, even your cheeks are sunken in, because they drained you dry!"

Not only did Kuroba Akira have to work, but he also had to pay for the orders he had placed earlier, which is why he ended up in this state.

"That's right, I didn't originally intend to work this hard, but it's all because of this 'Nightmare Cafe'..."

"Didn't you just want to repay with your body? Then you don't need to work at all, and as long as you don't come here to order, you won't become part of their menu, right?"

"You're too naive, Ms. Luo. Do you think they didn't think of that?"

If Kuroba Akira never comes to visit, then there's no point in keeping this café open.

Therefore, the person who formulated the rules for the coffee shop set very unfavorable conditions for Akira Kuroba from the very beginning.

"Those services are just extra 'side dishes,' the ones they're working so hard to get are at the very end of the menu..."

Upon hearing this, the two teachers looked at the back of the menu. The first part consisted of some less-than-ideal services, charged per visit, but the later part was different.

Motoko Kobayakawa read out the two special items.

"Oh... they have 'hourly packages' and 'all-day packages'..."

It doesn't specify what it can do, but it's basically 'can do anything'.

Because during the time they purchased it, Kuroba Akira belonged entirely to them.

Not long ago, when everyone was discussing the rules of the coffee shop transaction, Qingxia raised a profound question: "What if Kuroba-kun is not available?"

Yes, if Kuroba Akira is completely focused on his work and has no free time at all, then he won't have much time to spend with everyone.

That's how it was a while ago. Because Kuroba Akira was working on the original manuscript of the manga with Moe, he didn't have much time to spend with others, which made everyone feel lonely and they could only generate their own energy.

So if things continue like this, and Kuroba Akira uses work as an 'excuse' to shirk his responsibilities as the master of the harem, then there's nothing anyone can do about it.

So... we just need to not give him any time in the first place.

“That’s right. My time has never belonged to me from the beginning. Every day, apart from eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, my time becomes the time for the set meals on the menu.”

"Ah... so you meant the time spent with Kuroba-kun..."

Even if Akira Kuroba doesn't order anything at the coffee shop, the time allotted for the set meals on the menu will accumulate each day, and Akira Kuroba's time will be sold publicly.

"So if I want my own time, then I need to pay an equal amount of working hours."

For example, if Akira Kuroba works for four consecutive hours, he will get four hours of personal time.

During his personal time, no one else can disturb him, which gives him some breathing room.

"Therefore, for me, this place is not a place for enjoyment at all, but a devil's exchange used to redeem my own time..."

If Kuroba Akira keeps working, then the time on the menu will decrease, and it will become a 'hot item'.

Since that's the case, then all we need to do is make sure Kuroba Akira has 'nothing to do'.

By completing their own work while simultaneously 'stealing work' from Akira Kuroba, they can not only accumulate more 'work currency' but also reduce Akira Kuroba's personal time.

Of course, Kuroba Akira wouldn't just hand over his time to someone else, so he naturally started working even harder.

So things started to get heated within the palace.

Junko Ohno squinted, sweat beading on her forehead. It turned out this wasn't heaven, but the entrance to hell.

"...The person who made this rule must be a devil."

Yes, she is a devil, a devil who is like an angel.

That's right, the person who made this rule was the class monitor.

Hitomi Anri, the true harem capitalist.

"So this store is actually run around you as the star attraction... That's quite interesting."

"I don't find it interesting at all..."

Makoto, who was in charge of recording the orders, suddenly spoke up at this moment.

"If it's a cute girl, I'll accept the same order as Ming, okay? Just pay upfront, hehe..."

Makoto looked at the cute and appealing Ms. Luo and licked her lips.

Junko Ohno trembled with fear, realizing that she had been treated like prey by her own student... She finally understood what kind of situation Akira Kuroba was in.

"However, does that mean that if I also produce corresponding work results, I can also exchange them for Ming's time here?"

Suzi was startled and looked at her older single best friend with a complicated expression.

"Hey, Junko, you wouldn't..."

Are you planning to take action against the students?

Even if I'm really thirsty, I'm still a little... well, I guess I'll wait until Kuroba Akira graduates before I come back.

Junko Ohno realized that her question was a bit too obvious, so she quickly explained.

"I... I was just asking! Besides, buying Ming doesn't necessarily mean doing that kind of thing! He could also be used as a source of labor!"

"I'm talking," Zhencheng said, tapping her cheek.

"Yes, that's certainly possible, but no one has ever wasted their precious package time like that before..."

Everyone works hard for Kuroba Akira's body or to enjoy time with their lovers; they never thought of using him as cheap labor.

"Anyway, Mr. Ohno, do you want to join as well? Then you'll have to sign this contract."

"What is this... a contract of servitude?"

"It's just a confidentiality clause; we don't want the number of people to increase too much either."

Junko Ohno asked after casually signing her name.

"By the way, how did you manage to exchange time with Ming?"

Makoto said after accepting the contract.

"We are the operators of the coffee shop. Our basic salary is the amount of time we are paid each day. This is our internal benefit, hehe."

"Wow, this is so awesome! Just by wearing cute clothes here and serving one customer, Ming, I can get the reward that others have to work hard for..."

"Teacher Luo, we also have performance targets. We need to find ways to get Ming to spend money at the coffee shop, otherwise, if the performance is too poor, the supervisor will deduct our 'salary'! Of course, if the performance is good, we will also get a commission."

Who is your supervisor?

"Who else could it be but Black Heart Pupil? After all, she funded the construction of the coffee shop, and she's come up with a lot of ways to restrict us internal employees. Tsk... But I have to say, thanks to her, everyone has more opportunities to get to Ming."

Hitomi Anri promised not to feed Akira Kuroba for free anymore, and without the class president's lunchbox, Akira Kuroba would have to buy regular food with his own money or go to the cafe to fill his stomach.

His stomach had long been completely conquered by the class president's cooking. It's hard to go from luxury to frugality. His stomach was growling with cravings, so Kuroba Akira could only keep selling his body in exchange for the class president's homemade bento boxes.

By making bento boxes for Akira Kuroba, Hitomi Anri was able to gain Akira Kuroba's time, thus protecting her own interests while ensuring Akira's basic expenses at the café. Her methods were quite clever.

Haruka is now working hard to improve her cooking skills so that Kuroba Akira will eat more, and she will also get a commission.

"Anyway, you just said you'd treat us, right? Then I'll have to make a big show of it!"

Since it's not me who has to repay with my body, why be polite?

Junko Ohno ordered a bunch of expensive dishes and then handed the menu to Motoko Kobayakawa.

"Motoko, aren't you going to order anything? It's a free feast!"

Motoko Kobayakawa gave a wry smile and shook her head in refusal.
