Shota is surrounded by monsters!

Shota quickly wrote a guarantee, but Shinobu still refused to speak.

"Oh, you've upset your aunt, Shota."

"Don't fan the flames, Huang Quan!"

While seemingly talking to himself erratically to passersby, Shota started his journey home.

"Onii-chan, we're out of juice."

As soon as she got home, Mashiro wore an expression as if the world was ending, and plopped Shota down on the ground...

"Um, Shiro, we're short on money lately, so let's be frugal. How about we drink one can of juice a day?"

"..." Mashiro was stunned for a moment. She was currently enjoying a blissful life of drinking at least 3 liters of juice every day. If she were to drink only one can a day...

"no!"

Mashiro shook her head like a rattle drum.

"Sigh. Something else would be fine too."

"That...brother's juice?"

"Hey, what's that?"

"This is what Shinobu told me. I heard that if you put your tail in your mouth, you can... Waaaaaah."

Shota quickly covered Mashiro's mouth.

Does a tail have this function?

Huang Quan stepped out of Shota's body and asked this question with some curiosity.

"Click click".

Shinobu emerged from Shota's shadow, chuckled twice, but didn't speak—because she hadn't eaten the donut yet. She pressed her index fingers and thumbs together to form a circle, then bit the upper half of her index finger.

If you don't give me a donut, I'll tell you all your secrets.

"..."

Shota chuckled twice and said to Mashiro, "No, there's absolutely no sticky human lubricant flowing out of your tail!"

"..."

Mashiro seemed to have been dealt with, but Yomi's face showed even more confusion.

In order to quickly smooth things over, Shota pretended to suddenly remember something, clapped his hands, and said, "I'll call Rea, maybe she has a good idea."

As he spoke, he dialed Rei's number directly.

"Hey, Rea, yeah, it's me. Ah, ah, I'm so sorry, I didn't call you all day yesterday... um, right, I forgot to charge my phone. But let's not talk about that, I've been really bothered lately."

"..."

After listening to Shota's story, Rea countered, "If you need money, you can come to me. I remember my father has already registered two companies under my name, so there should be quite a bit of money in my account... Anyway... what's mine belongs to Shota-kun."

See? See? It's true, being a kept man is the best choice!

If you ignore the two gazes coming from behind you.

“That won’t do,” Shota said righteously. “I also want to earn an income through my own efforts.”

"Then let's get a job, Gluttonous Lord!"

Chapter 122. From Today Onwards, Call Me Commander

"welcome!"

Wearing a red uniform and a baseball cap, Shota greeted the customer who entered through the door with a smile, "What would you like to order?"

"Hmm, a Spicy Chicken Burger combo, and an extra serving of chicken nuggets. Dine-in only."

"Hi hi."

After quickly placing the order, Shota said, "The total is 850 yen. Please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

"Ah."

Soon, the hamburgers, fries, and other food were placed on the tray. After checking that everything was complete, Shota said, "Your meal is missing a hamburger."

"No, no, didn't you eat that hamburger yourself?"

The guest kindly reminded Shota.

"Huh? Really?"

Shota's face was filled with surprise; when did he do such a thing?

"If you don't stop now, you'll eat all the fries."

Shota's hand, which was holding the fries, froze in mid-air. After hesitating for a moment, he put them in his mouth.

"Oh, what are you saying, sir?"

"Chicken nuggets..."

"Kosaka-kun!"

"The store manager?!"

"You're fired!"

"Hey……"

Shota, who had just left the place where his ex had worked, sighed silently. He had worked for two hours and ended up losing 10,000 yen... Damn it, why is this restaurant so stingy? He had only eaten something casually.

I was so confident that I ate lunch before coming here.

"I'm unemployed again!"

I accidentally washed dishes in a restaurant and ended up eating them all in the kitchen. Then I invested in a barbecue business, ate everything, and lost everything. Now my plan to work at a fast-food restaurant has also completely failed…

Shota originally wanted to recreate his glory as the strongest bricklayer in history, but unfortunately, the sharp horns on his head caused him to puncture a hole in his helmet, resulting in his dismissal. Later, he even considered reviving his past success as a cut cake vendor, but…

The news has even broken! The existence of "cut cake" has been exposed in Japan! All he did was overturn someone's car and pay a million yen in compensation! Why treat "cut cake" like such a major threat?

In short, Taotie Shota currently has 3,800 yen left, and there are still 28 days until next month's paycheck.

"Mom~"

Nobody paid any attention.

"The Underworld~"

"The sun is too bright, don't call me."

be rejected.

Mashiro has been tricked into going to Rea's house because he couldn't provide her with enough juice. In other words, from now on, Shota won't be able to find a companion who wants to share his hunger.

"Life...I'm hopeless!"

Give myself back my carefree life!

Ah, how I wish money would fall from the sky and kill me! Shota looked up at the blazing sun. If only the sun were all gold.

Even so, Shota ultimately chose to go home and sleep.

The next day, I went to school.

"I'm so hungry..."

Shota, who was walking alone to the school gate, sighed once again. Just as he was about to enter the school, a super luxurious car suddenly stopped beside him.

"Clap."

The door was opened.

A blonde beauty wearing sunglasses walked out and said to Shota, "Good morning."

"...Mashiro?!"

Even though it had only been two days, Shota had already noticed a dramatic change in Mashiro. How to put it, she had gone from a clueless little girl to a clueless young lady from a sheltered family.

"Miss, this is your lunchbox. Mixed fruit juice."

"Ah."

After taking a 1.25-liter bottle from the maid, Mashiro nodded and asked, "Where's dinner?"

"The kiwi juice is air-freighted from New Zealand, and the dessert is fresh orange juice just picked from the United States. It's already on its way."

The maid answered Mashiro's question respectfully.

"Well, I see."

"Yes. We will pick you up after school tonight."

Shota didn't have a chance to talk to Mashiro until the car drove away.

What just happened?

"I do not know."

Mashiro shook her head. She didn't need to know why others were nice to her; she only needed to know that they would give her lots of juice.

Heaven and hell. Why did I refuse Rei's kindness in the first place because of these empty pride? Otherwise, I would be eating lavish meals every day and being served by maids... instead of being so hungry now that I dare not buy anything to eat.

"By the way, Mashiro," Shota whispered to Mashiro, "they didn't give you any money, did they?"

"Money?" Mashiro tilted his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No. They said I can just call them if I need anything."

"..."

They won't even give me a chance to borrow money!

"Let's go, time for class."

Shota touched Mashiro's head with some disappointment and walked into the school with her.

A peaceful yet hungry daily life.

"I've made up my mind!"

After school, watching Mashiro being picked up by a luxury car, Shota suddenly announced, "You'll never make big money working part-time. I'm going to start my own company!"

"...Do you want to open a food factory?"
