I am the devil, I only know how to trade.

"Hello, guest, please come in." Kong Yinzi's words were indifferent, without any enthusiasm.

If it were a normal store, deducting wages would be the least of their worries. But Kong Yinzi is now completely reckless, knowing that Luo Feng won't hold back just because he's nice to her.

"Hmm." Oreki Kimie didn't show any unusual expression and led Kato Megumi in.

Hmm, it's a normal izakaya...

Wait, what's normal about this?

Oreki Kimie looked at the wine on the shelf; there were quite a few world-famous wines among them.

Those who came here before were either preoccupied or had ulterior motives. As a travel fanatic, she immediately realized that Luo Feng's wine collection was extraordinary.

If this is all true, then this boss must be a very wealthy person.

Is he ostensibly the owner of a nationwide chain of izakayas? That makes sense.

"You're here so soon." Luo Feng's gaze fell on Kato Megumi: "Since you brought a friend, I'll give you a 50% discount."

"Are the bottles inside discounted too?" Oreki Kimie asked cheerfully, pointing directly to the bottles in the wine cabinet. The bottle she pointed to wasn't the most expensive, but it was definitely hard to find in Japan, and the vintage was also quite good.

Judging from the way her eyes were shining, it was clear that she recognized the wine, had tasted it before, and found it to be very much to her liking.

"You have good taste," Luo Feng exclaimed. "Since you know your stuff, I'll give you a 30% discount."

Luo Feng took out the wine and threw it into her hand.

"Hey, hey, hey, be gentle," said Oreki Kimie, half-laughing and half-crying. "It would be a waste if it fell on the ground."

"Judging by your appearance, you must be a trained fighter, right? If you can't even catch this, then all your training has been for nothing." Luo Feng glanced at her long, slender legs.

"Oh, you could tell that?" Oreki Kimie waved the sake in his hand. "You're no ordinary person."

Seeing how casually Luo Feng threw away the wine bottle just because he had practiced it, completely unafraid of wasting a bottle of good wine, one can't help but admire his magnanimity.

"Of course." Luo Feng did not deny it at all.

"Thank you very much then," said Oreki Kimie.

He is definitely not an ordinary person; that's for sure.

Despite having a top-secret identity, they act so blatantly, as if they're completely unafraid of being investigated.

Interesting guy, this trip was worthwhile.

"You're welcome. Next time you want some good wine, just come to me. There's no wine in this world that I can't get," Luo Feng assured him.

Kong Yinzi sighed.

Indeed, he can even get his hands on rare, discontinued bottles of liquor.

This person is really pitiful, how did they end up here?

"We meet again," Kato Megumi said calmly.

She already had some understanding of Oreki Kimie's magnanimity and easygoing nature, but she didn't expect the two of them to get along so well as soon as they met.

Kong Yinzi was stunned for a moment. How come there was another one? She hadn't noticed it at all.

Just now, she had a feeling that the presence of this room was being drawn to Luo Feng and Oreki Kimie, while this person seemed to be in the shadows.

"What would you like to eat?" Kong Yinzi led the two to their seats and took their order like a normal waiter.

Oreki Kimie casually ordered a few normal dishes to go with drinks, then asked Luo Feng, "Can you make steak?"

“Yes, I can make whatever you want to eat,” Luo Feng said. “My cooking is just as good as that of Chef Totsuki.”

"..." Kato Megumi said that she had witnessed his cooking skills firsthand; the ramen wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't delicious either.

"Megumi, what would you like to eat?" Oreki Kimie handed the menu to Kato Megumi: "You're heartbroken, so you should get drunk and have a good time. Don't worry, I'll take you home."

"Okay." Kato Megumi took the menu and looked at it carefully.

Heartbroken?

Upon hearing this term, Kong Yinzi looked at Luo Feng with suspicion.

For some reason, she always felt that this matter was definitely related to Luo Feng, and that her heartbreak was caused by Luo Feng.

This guy is so despicable that he'd ruin someone's relationship and then take them into his own arms. He's the kind of person who could be killed eight hundred times by a pure love warrior and it wouldn't be a disservice to him.

Luo Feng was focused on cooking, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him.

He's just providing a tool; how Eriri chooses is her business. What does it have to do with him?

Don't say it's okay; if he's the one who ruined it, he'll feel even more accomplished.

However, doing it yourself is not as impactful as the betrayal of a friend.

Clearly, Kato Megumi is still unaware of the truth and what happened; she only believes that she was simply dumped, so her emotional state is not very strong.

Or perhaps, because she was away from home for most of the year and only kept in touch online, the breakup of this relationship at this time was not something she couldn't accept.

It's common knowledge that it's hardest to steal someone's partner when they're deeply in love. Even if it's not the kind of passionate, life-or-death struggle that happens in high school, as long as the person is sincere, it's not so easy to poach them.

The best time to dig is around two years, when both sides have already started to dislike each other and their shortcomings have been exposed.

Then comes the so-called seven-year itch, which is the transition from romantic love to familial love.

Kato Megumi is currently in a strange phase; she's experiencing a period of burnout and hasn't truly been in a relationship yet, so her emotional fluctuations aren't very strong.

If the breakup occurred during the height of their relationship, she would likely be even more heartbroken.

Of course, Luo Feng wouldn't wait until then; he was still a bit of a germaphobe.

The soul he seeks to possess, no one else may even dream of touching.

"I want this, this, this... what kind of alcohol should I drink?" Kato Megumi asked in confusion. "I usually drink beer."

"Then you can have beer today too, I'll have this." Oreki Kimie patted the beer bottle: "Tell me, what's going on between you two? What kind of person is he? How did you break up, and what was the reason?"

Chapter 110? A Reasonable Explanation

Kato Megumi slowly began to tell the story of her and her soon-to-be boyfriend.

During high school, Kato Megumi observed that guy for a year. Later, the two met because of an incident where she helped pick up a hat. He got the idea and inspiration to make a game because of Kato Megumi's appearance, and he also recruited Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri to join him. The group made games together.

She had just finished speaking when Kong Yinzi placed a large amount of food and wine on the table.

As Kong Yinzi listened, she sensed that something was amiss.

For some reason, she felt that this guy was a bit of a jerk.

It's understandable to seek out a childhood sweetheart, but to seek out another one... Didn't that other one confess her feelings to him, but he didn't accept?

Even in this situation, you're still asking for help? Isn't that taking advantage of personal relationships?

"Um, let me ask you something." Oreki Kimie said with a serious expression, "When you were playing games together, you took up the time of the other two people, right?"

"Mm." Kato Megumi nodded.

“Those two girls are both very outstanding, right? They’re so outstanding that they’re celebrities now,” said Oreki Kimie.

“Yes.” Kato Megumi did not refute.

Oreki Kimie's face darkened: "This man is using you."

"Huh?" Kato Megumi was taken aback. "Both of them did it voluntarily."

"Just because you know they're doing this willingly, does that mean you can take advantage of them without any scruples?" Oreki Kimie shook her head. "There's something wrong with how this was done, otherwise it wouldn't make sense. No wonder you broke up with me now, I think I know everything."

Oreki Kimie is not only a travel fanatic, but also a mystery enthusiast.

Based on the clues provided by Kato Megumi, she has already analyzed many issues.

Even if her reasoning skills were good enough, she couldn't possibly deduce that someone had called her past self, causing Aki Tomoya's current changes.

"Let's talk while we eat." Oreki Kimie cut a piece of steak, put it in her mouth, and then widened her eyes.

Hmm, not bad!

Indeed, as he said, it was chef-level skill.

Kato Megumi took a bite and froze.

Her eyes gradually lost their luster, and she silently turned back to look at Luo Feng.

When I ate here before, it wasn't this delicious. Does the quality of food depend on the individual?

"I only know how to make ramen by following a recipe," Luo Feng said. "I don't have a secret broth or a secret recipe. When you came, I told you that you'd better come here for drinks. This is an izakaya, not a ramen shop."

"You say everything about you is very ordinary."

Clearly, Kato Megumi has a good memory: "You also gave me a side dish back then."

“Alright, my cooking is selective. I serve ordinary people ordinary dishes, and for someone like you who has no particular preference, I serve the most ordinary flavors.” Luo Feng said, “For interesting people, I serve interesting flavors.”

"Are you entertaining bad people?" Oreki Kimie chimed in.

“That would naturally be a very strong flavor, like spicy,” Luo Feng said. “The flavor you tasted was fragrant.”

When Kong Yinzi heard Luo Feng say this, she knew that one of the two people must be someone Luo Feng was very interested in.

She is not like Yukino Yukinoshita; she just wants to mind her own business and doesn't want to meddle in other people's affairs.

To avoid Luo Feng making him brush his teeth a hundred times because of his loose tongue.

However, why does my physical condition seem to have improved after eating that stuff? Is it just my imagination?

“It’s normal for people to have some quirks.” Oreki Kimie gently pulled Kato Megumi back to reality: “Let’s continue talking.”

Kato Megumi continued her story.

The two girls that Aki Tomoya dated were different from her. They were both outstanding, and for their own future, they chose to leave Aki Tomoya to become stronger.

After Aki Tomoya left, he recruited other people to join him.

At that time, Kato Megumi was studying abroad, and the two sides were still in contact... Then nothing happened, and she inexplicably stopped recognizing him.

"The case is solved." Oreki Kimie took a sip of her drink and said in a deep voice, "That guy broke up with her, so what? He's a scumbag!"

"Why do you say that?" Kato Megumi asked, somewhat curious.

Aki Tomoya was good to her, Eriri, and Kasumigaoka Utaha, especially since he had no ulterior motives and was very innocent. This was one of the reasons Kato Megumi liked him; he had no interest in any woman other than herself.

It's already very difficult for a man to be faithful.
