So Ninomiya Kinji believed that Alice's cooking skills were good, but this fact was good for him anyway.
"Well, anyway, as long as the food is made by such a beautiful girl, it will be much more delicious in the eyes of half of the world than the food made by fat middle-aged and elderly people, right? After all, the tongue of ordinary people does not have the ability to distinguish the difference between the skills of the chefs of three-star and one-star hotels. In this case, some visible added value becomes the main factor in determining the victory~"
"Ok?"
Ninomiya Kinji felt his hands were hot, wet, and painful...
——It hurts?!
"I'm hungry—"
“Ahhhhh!! Lim! Let go! No, let go! Hand! Hand——!!!”
"I'm hungry! I'm hungry! I'm hungry!"
Fantasy Carnival——
"Shirou, I'm hungry."
"Hi hi~"
The same scene happens in many worlds.
Many young people, especially those living alone, like to watch videos that are not very nutritious but are very appetizing while eating.
Among these people, some particularly like to watch food-related videos while eating.
To these people, Alice's actions seemed to be a signal.
They couldn't wait to heat up the pot and pick up the bowls, waiting for Alice's performance to begin.
Inside the light curtain, although Alice didn't know what was happening outside the light curtain, she still responded to their expectations.
Alice, who pushed the door open with great force, definitely did not behave like a good guest.
Even so, Alice was also a guest. Before she understood the other party's intention, the manager in charge of the lobby still smiled and greeted Alice:
[Beautiful lady, your arrival has brought a warm welcome to our shop. ——May I ask what you can do for me? ]
The lobby manager took a look at the two people who followed Alice, and then became more convinced that the people who came had bad intentions.
The arrogant girl walking in front was okay, but the two behind her didn't look like they were dressed like someone who would come to their store to shop.
The young man in the suit looked quite sophisticated, and he responded quite appropriately when she glanced at him, but the manager would not ignore the cheap suit he was wearing.
Not to mention the little girl following behind, her timid attitude clearly showed that she was not used to the atmosphere here.
So - the problem still lies with the girl in the front.
After making his judgment, the manager once again looked at the leading girl inconspicuously.
This glance didn't matter much. Alice's appearance, which was more fierce than her words and actions, instantly dealt a blow to the manager's momentum.
【What are the signature dishes here? 】
[…Yes. As you can see, we at Zhu Ziting are committed to creating a high-end Japanese food brand——]
[So your restaurant is still just a second-rate restaurant that hasn't become famous yet, right?] Alice waved her hand and interrupted the manager without any hesitation. [No need to introduce yourself, just tell me what kind of dishes you specialize in!]
[…As I just said, our restaurant draws inspiration from traditional Japanese cuisine and skillfully combines it with advanced modern cooking concepts to create a high-end and exquisite restaurant—]
[Half-baked, right?] Alice fanned her hands beside her ears, her face looking a little impatient, while Lingxuan couldn't help showing a worried expression.
[Miss Alice, isn’t that a bit…]
Lingxuan had already begun to imagine what they would do if they were kicked out of the store.
If he was more radical, he felt that it was possible that he would be beaten.
[What? If you are my companion, don't doubt me! It's so irritating!] Alice was furious. She frowned and looked at Lingxuan, raising and lowering her clenched fist.
[Let me teach you one thing! 10 out of 9 cuisines that claim to be rooted in old fields and introduce new fields are all half-baked cuisines that cannot survive in traditional cuisine and can only package cuisine with concepts that sound confusing to outsiders and sell added value! ]
Alice said she had seen many restaurants like this. The manager couldn't help but retort: "Isn't there a one in ten chance that it's doing well?"
Alice looked at him like a fool and said, "That 1/10 chance, of course, it has already become famous, built a brand, and become a famous store praised by people in the industry and abroad~"
【…】
The manager was speechless for a moment.
Because what Alice said was absolutely right!
However, the truth did not stop the manager from feeling angry because a little girl was pointing fingers at and insulting him even though he was such a grown-up.
But she could only hold back her anger and put on a business smile as she was professional. [What would you like to order? Today is a sunny day with a gentle spring breeze. I recommend the red leaf set meal to connect the spring and winter in your stomachs~]
[Okay~. Let’s go with this one.]
BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!!——
"Hey, is this okay? I remember they don't have any money on them right now?" There was a cup of parfait in front of Chihaya Aine.
The newly formed [Lost Sons] did not complete their joint practice today, but this time it was not because of the absence of a cat girl or the pressure from the tear mole girl, but because the sudden appearance in the sky, TV screens, and mobile phone screens was too attractive.
"How dare you!" Nagasaki Motoyo covered her mouth with her fingertips. Her ladylike behavior made Aine beside her open her eyes wide.
Although the manager didn't know what Alice was planning, her overly relaxed attitude made him suspicious.
She looked at Alice again. From her clothes to her temperament and appearance, she didn't look like the kind of person she suspected.
However, once a person begins to doubt something, if he does not get an answer, his heart will be like burning on fire, the difference is whether the burning is light or severe.
Unfortunately, the manager is the type who is more likely to be burned by suspicion.
So, risking being scolded, the manager asked: [We have a rule that requires a deposit of one third in advance. This is because our store will adjust the level of service based on the level of the deposit... Please don't be angry, these are the rules above, what do you think? ]
【No money. 】
Alice said these two words as if it was natural. The manager, who thought "as expected", was justified in being upset.
[I'm very sorry! It seems that our store is temporarily out of business with you - so you see, you want to... wait, what are you doing? ! ]
Alice ignored the manager's words and walked straight into the store. Then she went to a table where two college students were watching the fun, picked up an unused spoon, stirred it into the dish and put it into her mouth.
[As expected, this is the level~]
[You! What on earth are you going to do!? ]
【I want money.】
【you! 】
Rascal does not dream of bunny girl senpai——
"Awesome~"
Sakuta Azusagawa couldn't help but admire the shamelessness of the girl in Guangmu.
Even he would feel uncomfortable when doing similar things, but the mixed-race beautiful girl named Alice in the light curtain did not feel ashamed of her behavior at all.
This spirit, this willpower—
"Please let me call you Master!"
In the light curtain, the manager was shaking with anger.
She had never known that someone could ask for money so confidently, but Alice ignored her anger and continued to do as she pleased.
"I need money, but I have none, so I came here." Alice put down the spoon and said.
[Of course, chefs have to follow their own rules. Let's use our skills to speak for ourselves! Food Wars - If I win, I will accept your employment for three days, working six hours a day, and the salary... 100 million is fine.]
[What if you lose?]
[Lose?] Alice picked up the spoon she had put down and knocked on the table in disbelief. [With this level?]
[…I won’t make it difficult for you. Miss Alice? I want you to come to our store every day after school to work, with the same salary as the kitchen helper, for a month, how about that?]
[That's it.] Alice agreed to the manager's proposal casually.
8. Who is not an Alice?
[It seems like something interesting has happened. ]
In the high-end boutique Japanese food restaurant (self-proclaimed) Zhu Ziting, a sudden farce did not spoil the fun for the customers in the store.
There is no doubt that this world is a society that values appearance.
If the people who caused the commotion were a beautiful mixed-race girl like Alice and the lobby manager who was hired by Zhu Ziting at a high price and had both good business and good looks, the dispute that would have made people frown during the limited dining time could become an interesting story.
[Indeed, she is a very courageous little girl~]
The boy sitting at the same table didn't look at his companions.
He was interested - in a positive sense - in the girl who suddenly came up, took his spoon, and ate his food without his permission.
The boy looked back at his clothes as if thinking of something, then looked at his companion sitting opposite him and said, "Hey, Wu, don't you think we are weird?"
[That must be very strange, right?]
The boy called Wu had his chin on his hand, and one hand stretched out and placed flat beside his ear. His posture was quite untidy, but his companions were used to it, so they didn't pay much attention to it and just continued the topic:
[She didn't care about us at all~]
[Hahaha, so cool~]
The boy named Wu and his companion are both very eye-catching types in every aspect.
——To be honest, when the two of them walked into the store together, the same treatment that Alice had just received happened to them.
It's no wonder the manager was nervous. It was just that their attire was too out of tune with Zhu Ziting's atmosphere.
Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru.
Both men are over 185cm tall, and the taller Gojo Satoru is even around 190cm tall.
Two people with this physique can naturally bring visual pressure to people.
Putting aside the impressions created by these two people's weird hairstyles, hair colors, earplugs and sunglasses, Wu and Jie's attire is also a problem.
The dark blue solid color uniform has golden buttons that stand out. The small stand-up collar is meticulous, and the trouser legs are very wide. The overall look is like a modified version of the Japanese male student uniform in the Taisho era.
But it's 2006! What decent person would go to a fancy restaurant dressed like this!?
So at the beginning, the manager was more wary of Wu and Jie than Alice and the others, even though they were really just grabbing a bite to eat on their way to completing a mission.
【Wu, who do you think will win this bet?】
[I want to vote for the girl. Her name is Alice, right? What a cute name.]
[Isn't this name too common? ]
[Stupid~, this kind of thing depends on the person! It depends on the person~. As long as the person is pretty and has a good personality, won't a good name have a sense of exclusivity? Like that girl, after getting to know her, can you still remember other Alices in your head? ]
[…I don’t know anyone with such an exaggerated name as Alice.]
God's Notebook
"You actually said that Alice's name is exaggerated. You really have no taste!"
In a small room, although the ceiling lights were not working, more than a dozen display screens of different sizes replaced the lamps to illuminate the room.
Surrounded by many huge display screens, a young girl was sitting in a duck position on the big bed in the center of the room, complaining about the contents on the screens.
Her real name is Yuko Shionji, and she is a NEET detective.
Speaking of her relationship with "Alice", it's because Alice is her code name - no, it can be said that Alice is her real name!
Welcome to the classroom of strength supremacy——
"Haha~"
Arisu Sakayanagi chuckled as he looked at the contents on the screen.
Her name "Arisu" is pronounced as "Alice", so she can also be said to be Alice.
She could pretend not to hear what Geto Suguru said about the exaggeration of the name "Alice", but she couldn't help but nod her head at Gojo Satoru's words.
"Who is worthy of the name Alice? I really want to talk to Miss Nakiri~"
The Heroic Tale of the Failed Knight——
Ikki Kurogane looked at the classmate who was sitting quite close to his sister. His name was Arisuin Nagi, and according to the pronunciation of his name, he could also have the nickname "Alice" - or rather, he was very willing to be called that by people who knew him.
