My Romance Simulation with Them

This is equivalent to using 40% of the daily revenue as wages during the Nanxiang period.

What is this concept?

It's important to know that 'RicoRico' itself also needs to be managed.

After deducting material costs, water and electricity costs, gas costs, and labor costs, and further subtracting the 40% wage from the time of the Southern Township commute.

Is this store really profitable?

Because it's too fantastical.

Rio Futaba was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

The key is...

Rio Futaba couldn't help but look at Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue.

Is she the only one who thinks this situation is very unusual?

On another note, do the people in this shop really have that much confidence in Nanxiang Shi?

Ultimately, can a store in such a mediocre location really break even and make a profit?

Rio Futaba, a science-oriented woman, couldn't understand it.

"Hehe, this is our menu. Please take a look if you don't mind."

Perhaps sensing Rio Futaba's thoughts, Chizuka Nishiki reached out and offered a menu with a smile.

Then--

"..." Futaba Rio.

no...

"Is this price... for real?"

She looked at Nishiki Chizuka with a somewhat numb expression.

She could never have imagined this in her entire life.

On this simple menu, she saw outrageous pricing.

A set meal costs 6888 yen!

A premium set meal costs 8888 yen!

A deluxe set meal costs 9888 yen!

What kind of ridiculous pricing is this?

Are they trying to fleece people like lambs to the slaughter?

No...that's not right.

It's not that they 'wanted' to treat customers like easy prey; they genuinely treated customers like suckers.

A meal costs 10,000 yen.

This is converted to the living expenses of an average high school student.

If you're frugal, you can eat out three or four times a year.

Rio Futaba closed the menu.

"Now you understand, right?"

Chizuka Nishiki smiled and took the menu from Rio Futaba's hand.

"..." Futaba Rio.

She did understand.

If you follow the pricing on this menu.

So 'RicoRico' not only has places to make money, but it can even be said that she makes a lot of money!

This set meal costs nearly 10,000 yen...

"Oh dear, I was actually quite surprised at first, but since it was Mr. Shi who set the price, I couldn't really say anything."

Nishiki Chishu chuckled.

She initially reacted the same way as Rio Futaba, taken aback by Nango Toki's outrageous pricing.

"Southern Township again?"

Rio Futaba hissed as she looked at Toki Nanago on the other side.

"Ok?"

Just then, Nanxiang Shi turned his head and looked at him with his clean and clear eyes.

That seemingly harmless, clean, and handsome face made Rio Futaba shudder involuntarily.

cheated.

She only had this one thought in her mind right now.

I was really deceived by Nanxiang Shi's harmless look.

The other party's rip-off tactics were like a dragon-slaying sword.

Everyone who enters 'RicoRico' will probably get stabbed.

He really... he could have just robbed them, but he actually served food to the customers.

but...

"With such outrageous pricing... will anyone actually come to dine here?" Rio Futaba asked Chizuka Nishiki beside her.

In reality, there aren't many guests actually sitting in 'RicoRico' these days.

It looks so deserted.

It makes one doubt that anyone will actually come to patronize the store.

When I asked her to come and help when I was in Nanxiang... her desolate appearance made me wonder what she could do.

In response to Rio's question, Chizuka Nishiki, who was standing next to her, smiled and said, "Whether there are guests coming to eat or not, Rio-chan will find out soon enough... As for now, come with me to the changing room to change into your uniform."

"..." Futaba Rio.

Nishiki Chizuku is keeping everyone in suspense for now.

On the other side, Inoue Takina followed Nango Toki to the kitchen.

Rio Futaba had no choice but to follow Chizuka Nishiki to 'Rikorik's' dressing room.

Each of 'RicoRico's' waitress uniforms has a spare.

Its style is similar to a Japanese kimono, with a kimono-shaped obi (wabi-bag) worn on the back.

Chizuka Nishiki's uniform is a red, gold, and white color scheme.

While being warm and generous, it also exudes a unique charm.

Rio Futaba's uniform is a very simple gray-gold color.

Paired with the glasses perched on her nose, she possesses an indescribable serene and intellectual beauty.

And besides that...

"Wow—ho ho ho! It's so big! It's really big!"

Chizuka Nishiki stared wide-eyed at Toki-kun, exclaiming, "No wonder Toki-kun took a liking to Rio-chan. Just look at her breasts and her petite figure...tsk tsk tsk, if I were a guy, I'd be smitten too!"

Please stop staring at me!

Rio Futaba's fair face flushed red as she tightened her belt with both hands.

"Oh? What does it matter? I'll have plenty of opportunities to see it in the future anyway."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Rio Futaba covered her chest with both hands and turned her head to the side, somewhat confused.

"Hmm...of course, it'll be when we're in bed together doing things we love with Toki-kun—"

"Stop! Stop! Don't say another word!"

Doesn't this person have any sense of shame?

Hearing Chizuka's overly bold words, Rio Futaba's lips twitched slightly, and she glared at Chizuka with all her might.

The other person just smiled and didn't care about her words at all, even muttering "Still being stubborn, huh?"

This attitude made Rio Futaba's face turn even redder, and she didn't know what to say in rebuttal.

People with thin skin are afraid of people with thick skin.

That's about it.

But Rio Futaba can also feel it.

Chizuka Nishiki isn't actually a bad person; she's just cheerful and outgoing, and enjoys teasing others.

It's just that habit of telling dirty jokes and teasing others...

Rio Futaba wasn't sure how to comment. After changing into her uniform, she approached Chizuka Nishiki, who was standing by the dressing room door, and asked her about work.

"What should I do next, Jinmu Sang?"

"Hmm... How do you do it... Rio-chan, do you have any experience in the hospitality industry? It's basically the process of taking orders, keeping track of the bill, and collecting payments. Our shop doesn't have an ordering machine, so everything is recorded by hand."

Chizuka Nishiki looked at Rio Futaba up and down.

No...not at all.

Rio Futaba shook her head.

Her family is wealthy.

The living expenses my parents send me every month are astronomical figures, so there's absolutely no need for me to go out and work.

But...although I have no experience working in the hospitality industry.

There are still days when we can eat out.
