Mr. Gong is not only good at cooking

What's wrong? Are you treating my restaurant like a garbage dump?

Even if Aria were to be completely corrected, I still wouldn't want her!

How could I possibly have that much time to help you reform your great-granddaughter?

I'm so busy I can't even manage my own restaurant.

You should take a break, old man. I haven't let go of the grudge you held against me for shooting me in the back then.

If I had known, I should have let Qingzi and Yu Meiren unleash their ultimate moves instead of arguing with you.

Immortality is amazing!

Next time, Shirou Emiya will be smarter. When fighting boss-level characters like this, he shouldn't bring a bunch of support characters. He should just go all out with damage output and blast them to death!

No, there won't be a next time. I, Shirou Emiya, will not personally participate.

Looking at Aria's somewhat evasive eyes and Old Fukuro's eager anticipation.

Emiya Shirou said righteously, "What you say makes a lot of sense, but I refuse!"

"I, Shirou Emiya, as a champion of justice, love nothing more than saying no to evil!"

Old Fuku and Aria were both dumbfounded.

Aria scoffed and said, "I don't need anyone to take care of me! I can rescue my mother by myself, even without any partner!"

Emiya Shirou nodded approvingly: "Well said, keep it up."

Old Fukuro was not happy about this. He had deduced that Emiya Shirou was special and that his great-granddaughter would definitely have a good life if she stayed with him!

So he said to Aria with a stern face, "Aria, don't be childish, apologize to Mr. Emiya immediately."

Emiya Shirou quickly waved his hand: "Never mind, never mind, I'm just a small business owner, I really can't afford to support your great-granddaughter."

Moreover, my restaurant may look nice on the surface, but the food I serve certainly doesn't suit your tastes; it's all simple, plain food.

So I have my own difficulties, I'm sorry, Mr. Holmes.

Hmm, let me think... How about this? Your Holmes family has a girl with a mobility impairment in this generation, right? I'll reluctantly help you with treatment, as a way of making up for not being able to take Aria in.

"So, Mr. Holmes, is the deal done?"

It was only then that Aria remembered that she had a younger sister who loved her very much.

If my younger sister were to take my place, could her mobility issues really be treated?

Holmes, too, fell into deep thought.

What does Emiya-sensei mean by this? Is he simply looking down on Aria?

However, if he were willing to help Meluet with her treatment, the Holmes family would become even more powerful!

Using her to replace Aria is a good choice.

Moreover, I will never give up on letting Aria guide the world!

The Holmes family must set an example for the world!

With this in mind, Scarlet Bullet Holmes had his answer, and Aria also made her judgment.

"If you can really cure my sister—"

"If Mr. Emiya really doesn't mind Melette—"

So, after a long week, Shirou Emiya's restaurant reopened.

Meanwhile, a maid in white stockings and a cute blonde girl who always liked to sit on the sofa in front of the bookshelf and quietly observe Shirou Emiya appeared in the restaurant.

"Mine Riko! How many times have I told you! Don't alter my uniform without permission!" A roar came from Yu Meiren's room early in the morning.

"Ugh, Grandma Yu is so scary~", followed by Riko's devilish tone.

Yu Meiren was furious. "Hey, do you want to fight? No matter how you look at it, I'm your senior! Where's your basic manners?!"

Emiya Shirou, who was sleeping in the next room, covered his head with the blanket, feeling that this scene seemed familiar.

A week ago, the two Aozaki sisters and Yu Meiren were also arguing loudly early in the morning.

Sigh, Meluet is so cute, so quiet and adorable, she's a true noble lady. And look at her sister Aria, what a piece of trash!

In the past few days, Shirou Emiya, Yu Meiren, and Riko have taken turns instilling in the adorable Melette the idea that Aria is trash.

At first, the little cutie was very resistant and even threw a tantrum.

However, as the three of them patiently explained the facts and reasoned with Meluete, just like Tang Sanzang chanting scriptures, she gradually went from being confused and angry to doubtful, suspicious, bewildered, and half-believing.

Until yesterday, while eating, my little cutie suddenly said, "Thinking about it, my older sister is really willful and has caused a lot of trouble for everyone. As the next head of the Holmes family, I feel very ashamed."

After saying that, the little cutie struggled to stand up from her armchair and bowed deeply to the three of them.

Emiya Shirou quickly helped her sit down, worried she might get tired. Melette is so cute, well-behaved, and sensible!

Yu Meiren also said, "This is your sister's business, it has nothing to do with you. Just live your life here peacefully."

Riko smiled and said, "Exactly! Meruet-chan is so cute! You just want to hug her the moment you see her. Compared to Aria, one's an angel and the other's a devil! Meruet-chan, why don't you become my little sister?"

At this point, a truly despicable person would definitely say, "I am a member of the Holmes family, I cannot be friends with the Robin family!"

But Meruet was different. She considered it very seriously for a moment, and then softly called out, "Riko-neechan?"

Riko's eyes lit up with hearts, and she hugged Meluet tightly, rubbing her against her chest.

Then Meluet turned to look at Yu Meiren, thought for a moment, and asked, "Grandma Yu?"

Emiya Shirou immediately burst out laughing. This little cutie! No wonder she has no friends in real life. Besides being bullied because of her physical disability, she's also a bit too blunt!

Yu Meiren's face immediately darkened, and she crushed the bamboo chopsticks in her hand into powder, but she still took a few deep breaths and smiled: "Good boy, call me sister."

Meluet wore a pained expression, seemingly reluctant to lie through her teeth, but looking at Yu Meiren, she swallowed hard: "Sister Yu~"

They still succumbed to the tyranny of the poppy.

Emiya Shirou wanted to laugh, but then thought better of it. For the sake of his family, he ultimately chose to shoulder everything alone.

Let's return to the present.

Shirou Emiya tossed and turned in bed, finally unable to resist any longer. He quickly dressed, walked to the living room, and shouted, "Starting today, we're officially back in business! Wake up! Look at the time! Time to go to work! Get up!!"

Outside the restaurant, the spiky-haired boy looked like he wanted to die.

He sees the restaurant every day now, but it's never open.

His curiosity grew stronger and stronger. For several days in a row, he wanted to reach out and touch it, but he still resisted.

Just then, he suddenly noticed that the restaurant lights had come on!

"Ah! Is it finally time to open for business?!"

Honestly, with all the obvious foreshadowing I've laid, why do some people still think I'll recruit Aria?

Fine... I surrender... I admit defeat...

Old Sherlock from the Scarlet Ammo World was already strong, and some people are saying that I deliberately downplayed the Moon's combat power?

???

. . .

Writing a book should be a joyful thing, but now I can't feel joy looking at the comments, subscriptions, and favorites.

I'll be releasing the first chapter today.

Speechless.

Also, thank you to all the readers who continue to support me. Thank you, and I will do my best to write this book well.

Chapter Seventy-Six: Artoria, let me explain!

"We haven't been open for a week in a row. I wonder what kind of customers we'll have."

Emiya Shirou went down to the second floor, ready to start the new business.

He had just taken down the leave notice that had been hanging there a week ago when the glass door was pushed open a second later.

"Boss, we're finally open for business!"

A boy with spiky hair, dressed in a typical Japanese high school uniform, rushed in, saying, "I've been waiting for a whole week, but I don't know why, a voice inside me kept telling me to come in. Today I'm finally here!"

Emiya Shirou stepped aside to let the guest into the restaurant, then asked, "What would you like to eat?"

The boy thought for a moment: "What's the cheapest option that will also fill me up?"

This was the first time Shirou Emiya had encountered such a question. He said, "Simple noodles?"

"Plain noodles? Um, how much does it cost with meat?" The boy looked hesitant.

"That depends on what kind of meat you add."

"...Just give me a big bowl of vegetarian noodles instead."

“Okay.” Shirou Emiya nodded, turned and went into the kitchen. As he approached the second floor, he called upstairs, “Stop dawdling! The guests are here!”

Riko's voice came from upstairs: "Coming, coming!"

Shirou Emiya was relieved and began to work on the next dish, then started to ponder.

Who is this new guest?

Spiky hair, white shirt, and a generally melancholic look.

Um, could it be the cult leader?

Emiya Shirou sighed. "The leader..."

Then, with a tremor in his hand, he couldn't resist putting a large piece of beef into the bowl.

The leader was such a good person, it's just so unfortunate.

My hand trembled again, and an extra runny egg appeared in the bowl.

Sigh, I hope the leader can find happiness.

My hand trembled again, and I stuffed two pairs of shrimp into the bowl.

Then Shirou Emiya came out with a bowl of noodles and placed it on Touma Kamijou's table: "This is just a simple meal, please enjoy."

Touma Kamijou swallowed hard, pointed at the noodles, and said in a trembling voice, "Boss, didn't I say it was no noodles..."

Waaaaah, I don't have much money left! Boss, please don't cheat me! Oh no!

Emiya Shirou said with a smile, "Congratulations on being the first customer since our store reopened. Therefore, this bowl is on the house!"

Touma Kamijou was dumbfounded.

Is there such a good thing?

How could I possibly encounter such a good thing?

No way, no way, no way?

Anyone who knows me knows that I, Touma Kamijou, am a notorious loser.

Do I even deserve to win the lottery?

Something's not right, this boss is up to no good!

But I'm just a loser, what's the point?

Could it be... that this boss... has a thing for men?

Kamijou Touma's face immediately turned green. Oh no, this bowl of noodles must be poisoned!

Shirou Emiya watched Touma Kamijou's face change constantly, feeling utterly speechless. What's going on? I didn't drug him! Eat it!

"Manager, you're not kidding, are you? You're really giving me a free meal?" Touma Kamijou asked repeatedly.

"Absolutely true, genuine, or your money back tenfold," Emiya Shirou nodded affirmatively.

Touma Kamijou hesitated for a moment, then picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a shrimp, and brought it to his mouth. "I really ate it, okay?"

"Please eat without worry!" Shirou Emiya couldn't understand why Touma Kamijou was being so cautious. It was just a bowl of noodles, after all.

"Manager, do you need any help?" Riko, dressed in a light and airy self-modified maid outfit, skipped down the second floor, followed by the expressionless Yu Meiren.

As for Meluet, the young lady doesn't like sports and is reading a book on the second floor.
