"Ah——————!"
Accompanied by a sharp scream that echoed through Wenren Restaurant, Seiya, who had been half-asleep, quickly retreated from the bathroom, his face filled with embarrassment.
Recalling the scene he had witnessed just minutes before, Seiya felt as if he was still dreaming.
'So, it's true that when fat reaches a certain point, it actually floats in water!'
"Seiya, you idiot! Don't you know you're supposed to knock before entering the bathroom to see if anyone's inside?!"
Hearing Minezaki's indignant voice from inside the bathroom, Seiya, feeling somewhat guilty, awkwardly said, "Sorry, I forgot that there's another woman living here now.
Besides, your room should have its own separate bathroom, so I was used to being the only one using this public bathroom at this time in the morning."
Inside the bathroom, Minezaki, still soaking in the tub, retorted somewhat resentfully after hearing Seiya's explanation, "That room does have a separate bathroom, but it doesn't have a bathtub."
"But I didn't expect anyone to be taking a bath so early in the morning... Anyway, I'm sorry.
To prevent such mix-ups from happening again, we should discuss our bathroom schedules later."
Since he wasn't the one who suffered, Seiya didn't think he was in the wrong, but seeing that Minezaki had given him such a generous 'morning gift,' he took the initiative to apologize.
Hearing Seiya's apology, Minezaki's expression softened considerably.
Despite her bold and experienced demeanor last night, she had actually devoted herself to her career these past few years, focusing solely on climbing the corporate ladder, and hadn't even had a boyfriend.
She had considered that living under the same roof with a single man like Seiya might be inconvenient as a woman.
However, she hadn't expected that on the very first day, she would be seen naked by him!
Fortunately, she had screamed the moment Seiya entered, and after being startled by her, he had only caught a fleeting glimpse before quickly fleeing the bathroom.
In that brief moment, Seiya shouldn't have seen much, and since she was also partly to blame, Minezaki ultimately chose to forgive Seiya.
However, Minezaki didn't know that for ordinary people, a fleeting glimpse might not capture much.
But for Seiya, who possessed extraordinary dynamic vision, that fleeting glimpse was enough to see everything in detail!
He not only saw everything clearly, but the brief few seconds were even broken down into multiple frames, all stored in his brain's encrypted hard drive.
At six o'clock, Wenren Restaurant officially opened for business. In contrast to its near-bankrupt state in the past, Seiya's restaurant now had a crowd of people waiting outside before it even opened.
Because its reputation had spread, Wenren Restaurant was becoming increasingly popular. Now, not only were the local neighbors coming, but also many people from the distant city center came every day.
The regular customers waiting for the restaurant to open today were surprised to find that in addition to Seiya, the owner, there was also a beautiful figure in the restaurant.
At first, Seiya was worried that Minezaki, with her previously overbearing attitude, would have difficulty being a good waitress.
But when it came time to officially open for business, Seiya realized that he was completely overthinking it.
Minezaki Yaeko quickly immersed herself in the role, and with her stunning looks and sexy figure, she quickly won the praise of a large number of new and old customers.
No one would dislike a pleasing beauty, especially one with a deep cleavage.
Thanks to Minezaki Yaeko, Seiya's restaurant was doing at least 20% better than before, which made him want to shorten the daily business hours even further.
After a busy day, Minezaki finally understood why Seiya had chosen to close early at 6 PM.
Honestly, because she had worked her way up from a small-time sales job, she felt that her physical strength was no worse than that of the average man.
But after working for a day, Minezaki was completely drenched in sweat. If Seiya hadn't helped her with a lot of the work, she felt like she would have collapsed.
And because of this, Minezaki realized that Seiya's physical fitness was truly amazing.
Compared to her, who was just taking orders and serving dishes, cooking was the real physical labor. But even with the restaurant packed with customers all day, Minezaki didn't see a trace of fatigue on Seiya's face.
As evening approached, just as the clock struck six, Seiya and Minezaki couldn't wait to hang up the "Closed" sign.
Now, Minezaki, feeling sore all over, had lost her morning vigor and just wanted to go upstairs and take a nice bath.
However, just as they were about to close the shop, a figure hurriedly ran into Seiya's restaurant.
Minezaki, dragging her tired body, was about to force a professional fake smile and say that their shop was closed, but she didn't expect the red-haired boy in front of her to show a surprised expression when he saw her, saying, "It's you again! Are you still not giving up after losing last time?
Seiya, Seiya, your place is being robbed again! That woman is here again, go check if your ingredients have been ruined."
Seiya, who was still organizing the kitchen and preparing dinner, poked his head out of the serving window when he heard Yukihira Souma's shouts.
Then, when he saw Yukihira Souma and Minezaki facing off, he instantly understood what was going on.
"She's not here to cause trouble. She's my waitress now, working at my restaurant."
Hearing Seiya's words, Yukihira Souma was dumbfounded. He obviously didn't expect that the woman who had been overbearing and told them to close down a few days ago would transform into Seiya's restaurant employee.
"It's only six o'clock, right? According to your restaurant's business hours, aren't you still open? Why do you have time to come over here?
Let me say this in advance, if you're going to have another food war, then forget it, I'm really exhausted today."
Honestly, Seiya was a little regretful about hiring Minezaki Yaeko as a waitress, because with a beautiful waitress with a big chest in the shop, the business was now even better.
Although Minezaki did help him share a lot of the work, Seiya didn't feel much easier than usual.
