Kasumigaoka Utaha ignored all the other dishes and just stared at the marinated fish, eating it with great relish. She didn't miss even the small roasted cashews on the side or the lettuce laid out on the side. It was a baptism of taste.
This is probably what they mean by "simple yet extraordinary." The saying "the greatest truths are the simplest" is not without reason. Often, the most delicious dishes are this simple: stir-fried shrimp with Longjing tea, stewed tofu in Wensi soup, and this lime-pickled fish simply mixed. They are simple, but all are incomparably delicious.
When Kasumigaoka Utaha finished the last bite, she finally felt a little full. She couldn't help it; the green papaya salad was an appetizer, and the lime-pickled fish was also an appetizer. The more she ate, the more delicious it became, and then she ate too much.
Kasumigaoka Utaha rubbed her stomach and said, "Manager Shiraha!"
Bai Yu put Ichihara Yuko aside, then stood up and walked over, smiling as he said, "What's wrong? Wow, looks like you're starving. But with so much toast, didn't you get full?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded and said, "I really made it... That lime-marinated fish was so delicious. I really didn't expect such a simple dish to be so tasty."
"Simplicity does not mean ordinariness, and sometimes ordinariness is the greatest extraordinary."
"As expected, Manager Shiraha, you are someone who can guide a light novel writer. By the way... Manager Shiraha, could you give me a drink that can refresh me and aid digestion?"
"No problem, what are you doing...?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled and said, "I plan to take advantage of this atmosphere to write here."
"That's really amazing! It can aid digestion and refresh the mind... Okay, I got it... Hmm? Ms. Kasumigaoka, did you bring your mouse?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha waved her hand and said, "Manager Shiraha, you can just call me Utaha. As for the mouse... I didn't bring a mouse... Eh? What's this? Ah! This is some digestive medicine my mother prepared for me."
"She really is a considerate and thoughtful mother."
Kasumigaoka Utaha took out a digestive medicine from her laptop bag as she spoke, but Shiraha was immediately stunned. Kasumigaoka Utaha also said blankly, "Umbrella... refusing to become parents prematurely because of impulsiveness..."
"what is this!"
"Shiyu...is it too late for me to take back what I said before?"
"That stupid mom..."

Chapter 678 Kasumigaoka Utaha's Helplessness, the Divine Mother (Please Subscribe~)
The air seemed to stand still. Kasumigaoka Utaha was still holding the small square box in her hand, but her face was now so red it could fry an egg. Who could imagine that the dignified beauty of the high mountains would blush like this?
After hesitating for a while, Bai Yu said with some helplessness, "Shi Yu, well... in a sense... your mother is quite thoughtful."
Kasumigaoka Utaha silently grabbed the box, looked up, smiled, and said, "Um... Manager Shiraha... where's the trash can?"
Bai Yu tilted his head and said, "Um... do you mean you want to throw it away now?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha was taken aback, narrowed her eyes, and said, "Does that mean you, Shiraha, also want to use it?"
Bai Yu shook his head and said, "No, you're overthinking it... I mean you'd better not throw it away..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Why? What's the point of keeping this? I don't have a boyfriend, and it just makes me angry."
"If you lose them, your mother will think you came to see your boyfriend, but when she seizes the opportunity to check, she'll find they're all gone..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha paused for a moment before tentatively saying, "I... I can say I lost it..."
Bai Yu sighed and said, "Judging from your mother's thinking, she would just assume that you used them all, but were too embarrassed to say so, so she said that she found something was wrong and threw them away."
Kasumigaoka Utaha wanted to refute, but thinking about how the digestive medicine had suddenly become a protective shield, she knew that things weren't that simple, and what Shiraha said was probably true.
"You... Manager Bai Yu, what should we do? Should I just put it back without doing anything?"
Shiraha looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with a gaze that seemed to care for a young child. Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly said, "Isn't this wrong? Is something wrong?"
"Try to put yourself in your mother's current mindset. If her daughter went to see her boyfriend late at night, and all the things she specially prepared were useless, how do you think your mother would think?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha was taken aback. She was about to say that none of it worked, but then she froze. Yes! None of it worked! This was actually a big problem! How could her mother be so amazing?!
"So... what should we do with this now?"
After thinking for a moment, Bai Yu said softly, "In a sense, there are quite a few solutions. For example, you could throw away one or two of them, but that would mean you have a boyfriend."
Kasumigaoka Utaha's lips twitched and her face flushed slightly as she looked at Shiro. Her mother knew she was looking for a shop manager named Shiro, and if she did that, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that her boyfriend was Shiro?!
Although Bai Yu helped her a lot, cooked delicious food, and was a very nice person, she wasn't someone who would do anything casually! Didn't this aloof beauty have any pride?
Bai Yu said gently, "The second way is for you to make a video call with your mother. That way, as long as there are customers in the restaurant, your mother will know that you really came to the restaurant."
"Will this... work?"
“It’s a bit early now. You might want to call a little later to make it more convincing.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded and asked in confusion, "But will there be any more guests if we go later?"
Yukari Yakumo waved her hand with a smile and said, "Yes, yes, Ran and the others stayed until dawn before going back!"
"Ah... Oh... Thank you."
Yukari Yakumo felt that she had discovered something incredible today: as long as she kept quiet, she wouldn't be the one to suffer; she could just watch the show unfold.
"Then I'll go prepare the drinks. Would you like some ice?"
"Hmm... add!"
Bai Yu nodded and went back to the kitchen. Erina and the others were still holding their foreheads, their faces pale. Just as Erina was about to get up, she heard Bai Yu say gently, "Erina, just wait. It's just a drink, it's very simple."
Erina nodded and sat down, while Yuko Ichihara, supporting her forehead, said, "It was a terrifying experience... For a moment, I felt like my head was going to explode."
"Hmm..." x4
Kobayashi Rindou, however, sat to the side as if nothing had happened and said lazily, "You guys are just too naive; you simply don't believe me and Bai Yu's reasons."
Yuko Ichihara said with a hint of helplessness, "Gentian...is crocodile meat delicious?"
Gentian nodded and said, "It's delicious. Stir-frying it with a bunch of chili peppers and other spices makes it very fragrant and tasty, but the heat control is a bit demanding."
"Crocodile meat has almost no osmotic pressure, right...?"
Kobayashi Rindou said irritably, "Crocodile is amphibious. If it were like a shark, wouldn't it be completely dead? Don't worry, crocodile meat is very delicious."
Yuko Ichihara nodded, a hint of anticipation in her eyes. Rindou Kobayashi was taken aback for a moment before saying irritably, "Seriously? You really are more of a gourmet than I am."
Yuko Ichihara said casually, "Because I've never eaten it before! Gentian, you're not kidding me, are you?"
Alice covered her head and checked, then said, "Yuko-nee... Rindou-nee is right, crocodile meat is indeed like that."
Kobayashi Rindou said irritably, "What kind of relationship do we have? Would I really do that to you?!"
"Okay... By the way, can you guys still work normally like this?"
Erina nodded and said, "I just had a bit of a headache. After throwing up, I drank some warm water and a beverage and felt much better..."
Yuuko Ichihara secretly used her magic to rub her temples, and soon she was full of energy again as if nothing had happened, making Alice and the others exclaim that she was a master.
"Huh? Yuuko, are you alright?"
Upon hearing Shiraha's voice, Ichihara Yuuko turned around and saw Shiraha pushing a food cart out. On the cart were several large cups filled with white drinks, with lemon slices, ice cubes, and a touch of mint that could be vaguely seen.
"I'm still feeling unwell... Bai Yu, please continue massaging my head later..."
"Alright, wait a minute, these are yours."
"Oh!" x5

Yuuko Ichihara leaned against Shiraha again, letting Shiraha massage her head. Rindou Kobayashi and the others assumed that Yuuko Ichihara was just having a brief moment of lucidity before death, so they didn't say anything more about it.
Kasumigaoka Utaha, on the other hand, had recovered and was quietly typing away on her computer. Ichihara Yuuko watched for a while before softly asking, "Hey, Shiraha, do you think you can publish a book?"
After thinking for a while, Bai Yu nodded and said, "Sure, I'm already writing it, and it's a collaborative work."
"Huh?! How come I didn't know?!"
Kobayashi Rindou also looked puzzled. Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Why do you two look so surprised? I just wrote a book, which, strictly speaking, isn't even a book..."
"So what exactly did you write?"
You'll find out in a while.
Yuuko Ichihara looked at Shiraha with a puzzled expression. For some reason, this sentence reminded her of Clow Reed's notebook. She remembered that Clow Reed had not only given Shiraha a notebook, but also a pen.
Yuuko Ichihara is now even more curious about that notebook. She's determined to find out what's written in it. If it's a trap, she'll definitely go back and resurrect Fei-Wang!
Bai Yu was somewhat looking forward to seeing Ichihara Yuuko's reaction to the notebook, especially since he had made many changes to it. Ichihara Yuuko might become depressed if she saw it.
Erina and the others have recovered, though their heads still feel a bit throbbing. Yuuko Ichihara, on the other hand, is enjoying herself, getting a massage from Shiraha while drinking beverages, and simply playing on her phone while leaning against Shiraha.
"Huh? Wait... this is... Shiraha. Esdeath said she seems to have found some trace of a former lieutenant, and she's having a lot of fun..."
Bai Yu thought for a moment before saying helplessly, "Esdeath is completely... how should I put it, she's been excited for a long time, having a normal goal would actually calm her down a lot."
"Hmm, that makes sense. She seems to have been busy fighting all the time. By the way, Tsunade seems quite active. It looks like she's taking a break after a mission."
"It's good for her to get more familiar with things. Oh, right, I remember... Shu said she'd be coming over in a while, saying she had something to tell you."
Bai Yu was taken aback, and after thinking for a few seconds, he nodded and said, "Yeah, I understand. But Shu probably won't come alone. This is really a headache."
"Why do you say that?"
Before Bai Yu could speak, Kobayashi Rindou said somewhat helplessly, "I've met Sister Shu before... Sister Shu... she seems a bit too lively, but that's not the point. The point is that she's also quite eccentric!"
"Off-track... I don't quite understand, but I feel that the binding is still quite reliable."
Kobayashi Rindou sighed and said, "I can tell you everything Sister Shu said in her opening remarks now..."
"Ok?"
"Hi everyone! I'm Shinonono no Tsukasa, the number one genius and invincible beauty in the universe! Applause!"
Yuko Ichihara paused, then her lips twitched as she said, "Seriously... is there no way to control this...?"
"Yes! As long as Chifuyu-nee is here, that's fine! So we can only pray that Chifuyu-nee is here too, otherwise... Momoko, your Butch, Cerberus's headdresses, Yakumo Ran's tail, and so on will all be ruined."
Yakumo Ran was stunned for a moment, hugging her own tail with a nervous expression. No way, being used as a body pillow was bad enough, but was she going to be used for experiments?! For a moment, Yakumo Ran, the fox from the Heart, felt that life was full of malice, and only the fried tofu she ate every day could bring her warmth.
Bai Yu was about to say something while looking at Ichihara Yuko's phone when he paused, turned his head and looked towards the store entrance. Ichihara Yuko also noticed his gaze and glanced slightly to the side.
"Yo! Bai Yu! I'm here again!"
When Bai Yu saw the person who came, he smiled and said, "I really didn't expect you to come, Azazel."
"There have been too many things going on lately, so you can use your own ingredients, right?"
The newcomer was Azazel, but this time he didn't have wings spread behind him; he was holding a fishing rig and had a smile on his face.
Bai Yu looked at it for a moment before smiling and saying, "You caught a fish?"
"Of course! I'm a fishing expert!"
Bai Yu nodded and said, "Indeed, if someone of your level can't even catch a fish, it would be quite beneath you."
"It turns out that skilled people are skilled in everything. I caught a lot of fish, but I have no idea how to make this."
Bai Yu walked over to look at the fish in the box and said with a smile, "This... can you eat spicy and sour food?"
Azazel paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Just kidding, Governor, I have no taboos!"
"Okay, let's find a place to wait then. By the way, it's best not to eat this dish with strong liquor or red wine, otherwise it will look strange and they won't go well together."
Azazel thought for a moment and said, "Alright, then you can make the arrangements. Hmm? Where's Lord Lucifer?"
"She's sleeping upstairs. She's not minding the shop today. Judging from your appearance, something must have happened that you want to tell her."
"Of course, but right now here..."
Bai Yu was taken aback for a moment, realizing that Azazel was asking him if he had any ordinary people. Bai Yu nodded and said, "Are you trying to say that there's some kind of problem with the internal strife in that company?"
Azazel was a smart man and understood what he meant. He smiled and said, "That's right, that's exactly how it is. It's been chaotic for a while now, and it's been quite lively, no... it should be said to be exceptionally tragic."
"Hmm? Shouldn't you be happy then?"
"That's true, but I'm sure things will get complicated after this. I don't like this kind of fighting, otherwise I wouldn't be a quiet, fishy, and sophisticated old man."
Bai Yu nodded and said, "I should give you full marks for that self-praise. Alright, we'll talk about it later. Find yourself a place to sit."
"Ok!"
After Bai Yu carried the suitcase into the kitchen, Erina and the others stood up and went into the kitchen as well. Azazel looked at the restaurant, which had obviously expanded a lot, and said with a smile, "It really is quite beautiful. I guess it's more enjoyable to fish and drink every day."
P.S.: I have some amazing skills with Azazel, and every character I write has some amazing skills... (He should have brought me a fallen angel and a dragon instead!)
