You will surrender to me.

The uncle gave Naoto a look of gratitude and went back to grill. Because the quantity was large, he used a relatively big fire. Barbecue is something that will easily get burnt if you don't pay attention for a while, and if you stop, it will delay other customers' meals, so Naoto and Haruno Kasumi's help came very timely.

Before, because part of it was blocked by the curtain, Naoto didn't pay close attention. Now that he was closer, Naoto realized that this guest was really impressive in appearance.

This is the first time Naoto has seen such a weird person in real life. Or maybe it can’t be called reality, this is the second dimension.

This guest was very fat, with a large beer belly and an abstract appearance, with a high hairline, a pig face, and a sausage mouth.

In short, it's a nauseating thing. Naoto feels a little nauseous just looking at this kind of person, but the appearance of this kind of person also makes Naoto a little more vigilant.

You know, the male protagonists in many books and translations are disgusting uncles. Naoto doesn't understand what those people are thinking. They have to draw the male protagonist as such a disgusting person. How can people empathize with the characters?

Or do those people just like the feeling of beautiful things being filthy and ruined? In any case, this type left a deep impression on Naoto, and now, in the inner dimension, Naoto encountered this kind of impressive abstract appearance.

Naoto turned his gaze and looked at the other people in the private room.

On the other side is a woman and a man. The woman is hugging the man's arm, so they should be in a very intimate relationship. They are most likely a couple or a boyfriend and girlfriend. However, since they are working adults, it is more likely that they are a couple.

Until Naoto came over, the abstract guest was still chattering, and the couple sitting on the other side said nothing. The woman even shrank back and leaned on her husband.

It seems that this abstract man is probably a leader of considerable stature, and the couple did not dare to interrupt him at all.

After Naoto walked over, the abstract man also noticed Naoto and blurted out a sentence subconsciously.

"How come you guys let little brats come in here casually?"

"..."

Naoto really wanted to punch him twice, but he came here to solve the trouble. If he punched him twice, not only would it not solve the problem, but it would cause more trouble. Besides, izakayas generally do not allow minors to enter, not to mention that Naoto's face looks young, and no one would doubt that he is a taller junior high school student, so Naoto just frowned.

"Hmm? Master Zi'an? Master, why are you here? I was blind just now. It's my fault. I'm very sorry!"

Just as Naoto was about to speak, the abstract man was stunned for a moment when he looked at Naoto's appearance, then immediately knelt on the ground, not caring about other people's eyes, and directly knelt down to apologize.

In the island nation, the meaning of "dogeza" is very important. In layman's terms, it is to express one's apology and humbleness. How humble is it? It is probably the kind of situation where the other party basically holds your life and death in his hands, and you have offended the other party...

Therefore, the abstract man's behavior not only shocked others, but even the straight people were confused by this scene.

The abstract man in front of me was at least well-dressed and was a small leader. How could he give way to a young man, and in a pub? This was simply a fantasy, not even novels would dare to write it like this, but in reality, it happened.

Naoto was also confused at this time. The abstract man in front of him, who was 99% likely the male protagonist of some fictional novel or manga, just knelt down in front of him and called him "Young Master". Did he start the script of the return of the Dragon King?

In short, the scene in front of us is a melodramatic one, where a middle-aged man in rather fancy clothes kneels down to a young man and calls him "young master". People can usually only see this kind of thing in novels, and of course it also happens in reality, but if it is placed in such a "rustic" place, it would be wrong, and even seem like a play.

"Um, you should get up first. We'll talk about the rest later. Don't attract attention here. Just be quiet."

Naoto looked around at the people looking over here, frowned and said.

Since the abstract man in front of me calls himself Young Master, regardless of whether he has recognized the wrong person or not, I should just let him behave himself. This will make it easier to solve the problem, but the situation has become a little complicated.

I thought it was just an ordinary "mediation of a fight", but I unexpectedly became a "young master" inexplicably.

Naoto felt complicated when he thought about this.

After fooling the people around him to divert their attention and get the waiter to resume his work, Naoto returned to his seat, propped up his face with one hand and began to think.

Even though what happened just now was ridiculous, the title of "Young Master" still exists. It's just that Naoto never took it seriously before, and he didn't expect to be called that now.

The island country in this world is where humans and demi-humans coexist. Let’s not talk about the demi-human area for now. On the human side, it’s almost the same as before the time travel, except that some aristocratic systems still exist today. However, most of the families that can be called aristocrats are gone, and the remaining ones are basically not particularly powerful. So compared to the entire country, this can basically be ignored, but that is relative to the entire country.

Naoto had no idea whether his family was aristocratic or not. After all, he was a winner in life with both his parents dead and a sister and a house. Besides, this was not a big city, but a small county town. So Naoto never cared about aristocrats, big companies, chaebols or the like. After all, titles like young master and young lady were often used by heirs of aristocrats or chaebols.

Well, I was also called that. Let's assume that he recognized the right person and Naoto was indeed a noble. Why didn't Naoto know anything? Naoto only knew that he owned two buildings, one luxury apartment building and one luxury apartment building in the sub-human area. This level, compared with the chaebols, is not even a hair of them, right? Of course, it is possible that my grandfather was indeed, but he probably wouldn't say nothing, so Naoto is most likely from an aristocratic family?

What other noble surname can Zi Yasu have? In Naoto's impression, aren't the surnames of the island nobles in the anime all Ichijo, Kujo, or something like that?

Naoto stroked his chin, feeling that his brain was a little overwhelmed. But it didn't matter if he couldn't figure it out, he could just ask his grandfather.

So Naoto took out his phone and sent all the questions to his grandfather.

"Huh? What happened? I just went to buy a few bottles of drinks. What happened?"

Ayame came to Naoto's table with a few bottles of drinks and asked curiously. When she came in, she found that everyone seemed to be discussing something in a low voice, but the voices seemed to be deliberately lowered, which was a bit strange.

"No, it's nothing. Someone mistook me for a young master."

Naoto said as if he didn't care.

"Master? That's really interesting. We have never heard of nobles here. Then you are the first noble young master here~"

Acorus also said this in a joking manner and made a playful joke.

"Hmm~"

Naoto shrugged.

"By the way, where's that girl?"

Ayame asked when she saw that Haruno Kasumi was not there.

"That it."

Naoto pointed at Haruno Kasumi who was helping on the other side.

"Ah, that's really helpful. I'll give you some discounts later. But now that I'm back, I won't be short of patience. Thank you for your hard work, girlfriend."

Acorus covered her mouth and said.

"Well, I'll call her back then."

Naoto nodded, then raised his hand and waved to Haruno Kasumi. Haruno Kasumi saw Ayame beside Naoto, nodded, finished the food at hand, put away the plates, and returned to Naoto's side.

(Some of the situations are purely made up, mainly to make some of the later plots reasonable, do not compare them with reality)

The author says:

Author's words: I feel that this chapter is a bit awkward. Never mind. Writing in an awkward style is more in line with my style. It's almost time to promote the girl.

Chapter 122: The dimension is awesome!

"Hey, Naoto, are you really a noble?~"

Haruno Kasumi asked with some curiosity and a bit of a smile on her face. From her expression, it was clear that she didn't really believe it and the question was just a joke.

"Even if I say so, you have to believe me. Besides, I didn't even know I was a noble. I've lived here for more than ten years. I don't know anything except that my family has some money. And how can a noble live such an ordinary life? If I were a noble, I would go to an aristocratic school and live in a big city. After all, according to the treatment of a noble, I would never come here."

Naoto rolled his eyes and complained.

Although most of the nobles of the island countries in this world are in name only, there are many favorable policies and conveniences granted by law. And perhaps because of face reasons, most of the welfare and policies for the nobles are perfectly implemented. So as long as you can prove your noble status, basically even if you are a waste, you can live a life of superiority. However, this superiority is only at the level of an ordinary rich man. But the point is that these are basic configurations, and every noble has them.

Another privilege of the nobility is that they can have legal polygamous marriages, so to some extent, nobility is still quite popular.

Why do I say to some extent? Because now is an era when ideas such as democracy and republic are deeply rooted in people's minds, so the aristocracy is not so popular anymore, and this "aristocracy" can be regarded as something that attracts fire.

As the saying goes, what is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth. Why can you be better than most people without doing anything?

Therefore, the reason why those nobles basically gather in big cities is because the supervision is in place. Otherwise, in the countryside, if those people keep their distance from you or become your lackeys, it would be fine. But if they join hands with others to bully you, there is really no way to solve the problem. Moreover, it is easy for people in the countryside to unite and bully you, which is very miserable. It is probably that kind of situation where you can't get any help from heaven or earth. Moreover, even in big cities, there are many people who look down on aristocratic status, but they generally don't show it.

Another point is that the nobility can only be inherited by the direct blood relatives of the main family. If you want to continue, it can only be passed down to males. If it is passed down to females, only the current generation can obtain this status. After that, no matter whether they get married or marry into the family, their children cannot obtain the noble status.

As for male descendants, only one can inherit the noble status, and that is the oldest one, which has a bit of the flavor of the eldest son system. However, according to what Naoto has found out before, the capital of the more famous nobles is basically only daughters, and as for the nobles who are not big capital, basically no one cares about them... In short, it fits the flavor of the second dimension.

All in all, the identity of a noble has both advantages and disadvantages. It depends on whether you can accept it.

While chatting with Haruno Kasumi, Ayame brought a few plates and placed them in front of the two of them.

"This is the appetizer for you two. This is the appetizer. Let me whet your appetite. Also, I didn't expect that a noble would come to our place."

Acorus put down a few side dishes and joked with Naoto. It was obvious that he had just figured out what happened to Naoto before. However, such a bloody-sounding thing was hard to believe. Everyone treated it as a fun story. They didn't know what real nobles were like, but they would definitely not come to such a place.

"Yes, yes, since I, a young nobleman, have come to your little place, why don't you serve the food quickly?"

Naoto said jokingly.

"Hi~hi~hi, it will be ready soon, please wait a moment, young master~"

Ayame replied with a smile before leaving to serve other customers.

Naoto also turned his head and looked at the side dishes on the table. To be honest, this was also his first time here, so he was quite interested in the food.

The side dishes are a plate of tied kelp and a plate of cold tofu. The quantity is not much, but it is not too little either. You can eat a few more bites. It is very suitable as an appetizer.

"Hmm, this tofu is delicious~~"

Haruno Kasumi scooped a piece of tofu into her small plate with a spoon, then scooped out a piece and put it into her mouth. The tender, sweet taste immediately filled her mouth. If she wasn't careful, the tofu would slide down her esophagus and go directly into her stomach. However, the sweet and smooth feeling still remained in Haruno Kasumi's mind, making her blurt it out.

"Yeah, it's really good. It should have been made today or last night."

Naoto also dug out a piece and tasted it. This smooth taste is probably not available on the market.

Most tofu on the market is made using industrial methods in pursuit of quantity, so the taste is usually very dry and does not have much fragrance. Those with a smooth taste are usually made the night before or early in the morning. Because it is hard work and troublesome, many people use industrial methods to make tofu.

Handmade tofu tastes great, but it is very troublesome as it basically requires manual work. Naoto doesn't quite understand the specific principles, but it's basically like this.

(The author has personally experienced this. During the Chinese New Year, several people spent two days to make 300 blocks of tofu. But to be honest, handmade tofu is really fragrant and tastes very tender and smooth. However, the flavor retention time is very short. It can only preserve the flavor for about a week when soaked in water, and the taste actually gradually deteriorates after that.)

"Ah, Naoto, do you like this kind of tofu?"

Haruno Kasumi took another bite of tofu and asked Naoto.

"Well, I like the taste, but tofu is very troublesome to make and it's eaten very quickly, so most of the time there's not enough to eat, which is quite regrettable."

Naoto nodded, and lamented the feeling of never being able to eat to his heart's content.

"Well, I'll do it for Naoto later."

Haruno Kasumi looked at Naoto and said seriously.

"...as if you weren't cooking for me."

Naoto was stunned for a moment. Was he teased just now? Then Naoto responded decisively.

You cannot remain indifferent when facing your sister's initiative, as that would damage her enthusiasm. So Naoto decisively chose to respond positively to Haruno Kasumi's words. As for the result, you can tell by looking at the bright smile on Haruno Kasumi's face.

Naoto thinks this is pretty good. At least the girls here are really easy to please. If it were in the world before he traveled through time, his girlfriend would probably dislike izakayas, which are now considered food stalls, and many of them would be very pretentious. Well, thinking about it this way, he feels really happy here.

The author says:

Author's words: It's the last day. I've been so bad this month. I'm going to work harder next month!

Chapter 123 Naoto's home seems to be very cool

"This is your barbecue. Try it. My father's barbecue skills are second to none in this area."

Acorus put down the plates in his hands and said with a proud tone.

But it can also be seen that there is only one uncle cooking the barbecue in front, and he seems to be the store manager as well. This izakaya should be his. Two of the three waiters are his family members, one daughter and one wife, and he hired another. Plus, his cooking skills are good, which is enough to cope with the customer flow of this small to medium-sized izakaya.

A very lively family.

Naoto thought so.

This girl named Acorus is also quite outgoing. Normal girls here won't joke with people they just met. You know, Acorus just joked with Naoto. But this is also good. At least for their family's situation, this kind of personality is more suitable and more likable, which can attract more regular customers to eat here.

"Well, then Kasumi and I won't be polite."

Retracting his thoughts, Naoto replied with a smile, and picked up a skewer of grilled chicken. He took a bite and it was crispy and spicy, but not too dry, and tasted very good. No wonder she said that her father's cooking skills were almost unmatched here, and there was a reason why the specialty izakaya could make "Robatayaki".

"By the way, I have some mustard here. Would you like to dip it in? This stuff tastes really good. It's even more delicious when paired with barbecue. It can better show the spicy flavor. Have some!"

Seeing that Naoto liked the taste of barbecue, Ayame was also very happy. Then a mischievous idea came to her mind, and she took out something like a toothpaste tube from her outer pocket. There was some light green paste in it. If you didn't look closely, this thing was not much different from toothpaste.

"Your joke is not funny. Most people know what mustard is. Even if you have never eaten it, you know it is very pungent."

Naoto looked at Ayame with an expression as if to say, "You take me for a fool."

"Mustard? I heard it's pungent, but I never buy it when I cook. Is it like pepper? Give me some to try."

Haruno Kasumi pushed her small plate a little further over, wanting to try a little.

"Um, are you sure? Kasumi, this... forget it, just take a little less, the smell is quite strong."

Naoto wanted to persuade her, but after thinking about it, he decided to let her try it. People are often not used to this thing when they taste it for the first time, and then they either hate it or like it very much. However, there are still a small number of people who still think it is optional to eat it, and most of the others tend to lean towards the "diode" side. After all, only those who have eaten wasabi know how it tastes.

Thinking back to before he traveled through time, Naoto once went out with his parents to eat sashimi, thinking that this stuff was similar to those barbecue sauces, so he squeezed a whole half tube of it into the bowl. Then, because his parents were chatting with others and didn't pay attention to him, Naoto picked up two slices of salmon fillet, rolled them up and put them into his mouth, which directly wiped out half of the mustard sauce in the bowl, and then Naoto was in trouble.

The feeling rushed to his head and Naoto almost thought he was going to die. The adults around him thought something had happened when they saw Naoto's condition, but when they saw the mustard in Naoto's bowl, they couldn't stop laughing on the spot. Naoto dared to eat so much of this thing for the first time. It was indeed a case of "the more skilled, the more daring".

Anyway, this is indeed the dark history of straight people, but this feeling is indeed very exciting. Anyway, straight people like it very much, as long as they don't take a big gulp of it.
