Event 41: Udon Noodles (1)

"We can't let this be in doubt, let's go to the back to look, we can't let them both be alone" Rei was the first one who spoke making the two remaining girls nod their heads following the first one walking along the Sneak edge of the restaurant.

The trio seemed not to notice that some people in the surroundings were staring at them, making everyone wonder if they were crazy.

By the time they reached the back of the restaurant the trio was surprised "I can't see anything, the windows are covered!" Rei was the first to exclaim angrily as she looked at the window.

The two remaining girls could only smile and laugh slightly watching Rei's reactions "Well, I guess we can't do much," Kiyoko said while cleaning her glasses.

"Since we're here, what do you think of going through a coffee?" Asuna asked picking up her backpack and then wiping the dust off her skirt.

Rei trembled slightly to turn around and look at his companions "What's the matter, will we leave Haruta here?" Rei asked with a surprised tone

Kiyoko and Asuna listened to Rei's questions, looked at each other slightly and then smiled "You don't have to worry Rei, Haruta is not a dumb man to go after all the girls who pass in front of him," said Asuna declaring her confidence towards the black-haired.

"During the special training all the managers were after him, but he never did anything to take advantage of the situation, I must say that he is an impeccable person" Kiyoko recalled newly founded fan club of Haruta Ichijo and how they took any opportunity to be close to him .

Rei only heard what the two girls were saying, he turned around to look at the restaurant while biting his lower lip slightly "Sigh" let out a heavy sigh "I guess you two already know him more than me," said Rei looking at both girls with a small smile

"Well, let's go for that coffee" Asuna said leading the way while now it was the two girls who followed her.

While the girls left the surroundings, inside the restaurant was Haruta who walked behind a girl of short stature but of great attributes and with orange hair.

"So you're the owner's daughter, right?" Haruta asked as she walked behind the girl in an attempt to break the heavy environment.

"Yes," the girl replied without showing many feelings.

Haruta was surprised at the sharp response that the girl gave him 'It seems he doesn't like me here' said Haruta in his mind as he regained his mental strength to speak again "In that case, I guess I can call you Ogata-chan ? " Haruta asked looking at the orange-haired girl who stood still halfway.

Quickly Haruta's senses warned him that something would happen 'My arachnid sense warns me of danger' said Haruta in his mind taking a step back as a reflection moving away from the orange-haired to avoid any imminent danger.

"No problem," Ogata said quietly, making Haruta now more surprised than before.

Haruta's mouth was wide open 'It's a robot!' Haruta exclaimed in his mind watching Ogata walk away from him.

With quick step Haruta followed Ogata leaving a few steps away until they reached the kitchen, everything was totally clean there except for the place where a certain old man was cooking at high speed.

The man's hands were quick but in Haruta's eyes they looked like those of a normal cook, he manipulated the dough with some delicacy 'Uhhh ... it seems he has some experience' said Haruta in his mind giving a slight look at the hands scraped off the old man 'Several years in the kitchen, but his statistics should not exceed the 60-point barrier, unfortunately he does not seem to have had a decent teacher in his entire life'

It only took Haruta to observe the old man's work to know how much work had passed through his hands, the experience and the approximate points that a person had.

"Father, I brought the practitioner," Ogata said as he entered the kitchen, interrupting his father's work and won the old man's attention.

The old man left the dough on the table looking away to direct it to where Ogata was "Rizu my daughter!" the old man shouted, throwing himself to where Ogata is, but he would move away, letting the old man crash into the wall.

Ogata said nothing about his father's attitude but instead continued with what he had in his hands "Father, this young man next to me is ..... sorry what was your name?" Ogata asked looking at Haruta who was silently beside him

"Haruta Ichijo" replied the black-haired stepping forward without paying attention to anything else.

"As I said father this is Haruta, he is ..."

While Ogata gave an introduction to Haruta to present him in front of his father, in the kitchen Haruta had left his bag on the floor and his hands were in the dough "Running Udon Noodles" Haruta muttered with some raw noodles in his hands.

The old man was on the ground looking directly at Haruta, got up from the ground and headed to where the black-haired was.

"Are you the one who needed part-time work?" asked the old man next to Haruta.

"Uh, yes, that's me," said Haruta, leaving his train of thoughts to look at the old man next to him.

"That's what I was saying!" Ogata exclaimed angrily as he looked at his father through his glasses, inflating his angry cheeks.

"Wow, it seems that he can also show feelings of discomfort," said Haruta, taking a slight look in the direction Ogata was.

"I want to test this young man, could you please leave us alone," said the old man without looking at his daughter, but all his attention was totally focused on Haruta.

Ogata hesitated a moment but finally nodded slightly bowing to retire "I hope you have fun father"

"Sure, I'll make sure this young man sweat" said the old man fixing the collar of his clothes

"Lucky Haruta-kun, my father is usually very aggressive with practitioners," said Ogata, bowing his head as he gave Haruta one last look before retiring.
