Chapter 241

But it was still a bit of a distance from his home, clearly indicating that Jinwei Tong still intended to take him somewhere.

Since he had already asked once before but received no answer,

Natsume Chikage knew that asking was useless, so he did not ask again.

Furthermore, if Jinwei Tong had wanted to harm him, she would have had plenty of opportunities to do so earlier.

There was absolutely no need to take him for a physical examination and then bring him to the vicinity of his home.

In any case, it wasn't particularly late yet, so walking with her was fine.

"Please follow me." Jinwei Tong walked in the lead.

Natsume Chikage walked behind her.

But as they walked,

Jinwei Tong adjusted her pace and walked alongside Natsume Chikage.

Although she was wearing a maid outfit,

in a place like Shibuya, a maid outfit was nothing out of the ordinary.

Japan itself is a major power of 2D culture.

There are plenty of people in strange costumes all over the streets.

In Shibuya, there are actually many maid cafes.

Therefore, maid culture has long been deeply ingrained in the public eye.

Even if passersby saw it, they wouldn't be surprised or astonished.

However, because Jinwei Tong was very beautiful, there were still quite a few people on the road looking their way.

But more of them were looking at Natsume Chikage beside her.

Because compared to pretty girls, handsome boys are actually rarer.

Not to mention, someone like Natsume Chikage, who could rank among the best even among handsome boys, was naturally very eye-catching!

Soon.

The two arrived in front of a sukiyaki restaurant called 'USHITARA'.

He asked in confusion:

"Isn't this a place to eat? Why bring me here..."

Jinwei Tong explained:

"Your dinner with family and friends was interrupted earlier; this is compensation."

Natsume Chikage was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"Even so, this place is too expensive; there's no need."

"Let's go somewhere else."

Jinwei Tong gave a thumbs up with an expressionless face:

"It's on the company's tab, please don't worry!"

Natsume Chikage was stunned, then speechless.

He thought to himself, you maid, you really are experienced in the workplace; you really know how to handle expenses!

Since it was on the company's tab, he didn't decline and prepared to enjoy the meal!

Natsume Chikage: "Alright!"

Jinwei Tong: "Let's go!"

They entered the shop.

The waitress was somewhat surprised by their good looks, but still asked with a smile:

"Do you have a reservation?"

Jinwei Tong explained:

"For two, the reservation is under Jinwei."

"Very well, please follow me."

Natsume Chikage had a strange expression; only now did he remember that this was a very high-end sukiyaki restaurant.

The price starts at 20,000 yen per person.

It is extremely difficult to book normally.

Without booking a week or a month in advance, it is basically impossible to get a table.

However, given the influence of the Yutang family, it probably wasn't a big problem.

After entering the private room,

the waitress quickly brought all the ingredients.

And sukiyaki is actually something that diners need to handle themselves.

Of course.

In this high-end sukiyaki restaurant, you can actually have the waitress handle the whole process, and the diner just needs to eat.

But this service was refused by Jinwei Tong.

In the private room,

Jinwei Tong was seen skillfully putting ingredients into the pot, and without looking up, she said:

"I know you have many questions, but I am only a maid and have no authority to tell you things, but when the time comes, you will understand why."

Natsume Chikage was silent, but he also understood that Jinwei Tong was indeed just a maid, so even if he was confused, it wasn't appropriate to keep asking.

While cooking the beef, Jinwei Tong urged:

"However, there is one thing I must tell you."

Natsume Chikage asked back:

"What is it?"

Jinwei Tong looked calmly into his eyes and picked up a piece of beef to hand to him.

"This A5 beef is delicious; it's cooked, eat it."

"..."

Natsume Chikage smiled helplessly; he thought it was something serious.

However, after his physical constitution improved, he could feel that his appetite had increased.

In any case, it was A5 grade beef.

It was hard for him to refuse.

"Thank you, Senior Jinwei."

"Call me Tong; 'Senior Jinwei' is too long, it sounds strange to me."

"Aren't you a senior at school? It's normal for others to call you that, right?"

"Even so, I have never liked others calling me that. If you, Natsume-kun, are the type of person who insists on calling others by names they dislike, then I have nothing more to say."

"... I understand, Senior Tong."

"You can drop the 'Senior' part too."

"We've only just met; wouldn't it be a bit ambiguous to call each other by our first names like this?"

"Not at all. After all, we will have many interactions in the future, and when the time comes, you will understand why I don't want you to call me Senior."

"..."

Jinwei Tong's actions of handling the ingredients suddenly stopped, and she just looked at Natsume Chikage like that; although she had no expression, she seemed to be expecting something.

Natsume Chikage was silent for a long time.

"... Tong."

"Oh-hoo!"

"What the hell is 'oh-hoo'..."

"Please don't mind it."

"..."

Natsume Chikage, who enjoyed a super high-end sukiyaki meal, was unexpectedly in a good mood.

People always say it doesn't matter if you suffer in other ways, but you must never suffer in your stomach.

Now it seems there is some truth to that.

Although some strange things happened today, the result was acceptable.
