87 4-Revive!

=========================

Alexander looked inside the shop and saw someone he recognized. Her blond-honey hair and purple eyes were the most outstanding features of her body.

"Great...just...Great!" Seeing Erina surrounded by a bunch of ugly looking boys made Alexander feel a little upset "The first thing I see when I walk in is a scene of an old-school thug movie."

"Who the hell is this pretty boy?" The blond-haired boy with the face-pierces spoke with his eyes narrowed.

"I bet he is one of the Stagiers like this check here." Another man with hoodie said and pointed with his thumb at Erina

"Alexander-sama!" Erina looked at Alexander with a surprise, she had never expected him to be here.

"Hello, I assume that everything is okay." Alexander walked forward and entered the circle and stranded with Erina

"Isn't that right?" He looked at the blond-haired man

Their eyes clashed for some time, as if they are testing each other's worth.

"Hyahaha!! Everything is okay! Let us go boys, we have a place to be." The men started leaving

"Old man! I am leaving!!" The blond-haired man shouted.

From upstairs, slow and loud footsteps came "never come back again! You ungrateful brat!!" A bald old man with an old-fashioned green suit came down.

After the boys left, the store became empty leaving only Erina and Alexander with the old man.

"I trust that you're from Totsuki." Said the old man

"That is right, I am Nakiri Erina and this here is Saiba Alexander, we were sent here to be stagier's under your shop." Erina did the talking.

"Hmm, I see, Saiba Alexander, the winner of the Autumn election and Nakiri Erina, Senzaemon's granddaughter and the God's Tongue." Said the old man "I am Orashiki Enryuu, the owner of this dying shop you see here." The old man's eyes carried a hint of sadness in them but that was only for a moment.

"Well, I think we were sent here to work on that problem." Said Alexander

"I agree," Erina added

"Hahaha! If that is the case, have a seat" the old man gestured for the two to take a seat at the nearby table.

"I don't want to be cruel or anything but I don't think that the two of you can solve this shop's problem." Enryuu poured himself a cup of water

"And why is that?" Asked Erina. Alexander decided to stay silent and just listen.

"This shop's problem is not a management problem or the bad cooking that most shops have...this shop's problem is...my grandson. Once, he was a great chef with a beautiful dream, but now, all that is left is a shell of his old self." The old man shook his head "Many before you tried to solve the problem but all of them failed."

"If your grandson is the problem then all we need to do is lighten up the dormant chef inside him. There are many reasons for chefs to abandon their shops. If you can provide us with a clue, I don't think that will be hard." Said Erina with a smile, she was very confident that as long as she the clue she needed, there will be no problem

"Oh! Very hard, even if you tried to give him the emotional speech, that won't work. He is absent most of the day but when he comes back, he brings in a group of delinquents who causes troubles and often fight with the customers." Said Enryuu "

Erina frowned "Why don't you report them?" She asked

"You think I will have the heart to throw my son in jail?" Enryuu retorted.

Erina didn't speak any further and just looked at Enryuu for a long period of time

"Sigh~ Let's start working and let us open the shop, we don't have time to keep thinking...We need to run the shop first."

"Alexander-sama!"

"Kid...!"

"We will deal with your grandson when the time comes." Alexander rolled up his hoodie's sleeves and headed to the kitchen.

Erina smiled slightly "Geez, I think he is right in a sense." She too stood up and followed behind Alexander

"Kids!...hahaha!!!" Enryuu laughed. He looked at the kids as they went straight to work. Most of the others tried to go after his kid first, but these two didn't take him as a priority now and focused on the shop. He has to give them that at least.

"WHAT THE FUCK!!!!" a loud and thunderous scream of Alexander came from the kitchen

"What is wrong?" Enryuu ran with his old body to the kitchen

"ITS ALL TRASH!!" Alexander pointed at the dirty kitchen with rage

Enryuu looked at the kitchen with the dirty tables and disgustingly dirty tools, Enryuu felt very embarrassed, his old face turned red "hihihi! It's a little bit dirty"

"What do you mean a little, everything is dirty, it is like a horde of animals passed right through here!!" Alexander couldn't explain how dirty the kitchen was, never in his life had he seen such trash in one place

"Well, the thing is...I told you my son is the chef here." Enryuu looked the other way as he didn't dare to look at the cold eyes of the lady beside him. Her eyes felt like spears hitting his head.

"Anyway..." Erina calmed herself a little "let us clean."

"Right, right. I will let you do that." Enryuu turned to leave but he was grabbed by his collar "You're cleaning too, Old Man." Alexander's eyes were glowing with hatred and anger, if the man in front of him wasn't the same age as his grandfather he would've punched him already.

The trio started cleaning with all their might. And after 3 hours, they finished, Enryuu sat on the ground with his hand on his back and his face twisting in pain "My back, my poor back!"

"What now?" Asked Erina, she looked at Alexander who was looking outside.

The streets were busy, people who passed by looked at the shop for a brief moment before they looked away after seeing the [Closed] sign.

'Hmm...the location is pretty good, there are also the travelers who came from the airport and the one going to it. It is a great place to do business here.' Alexander thought

Normally for shops like this with fights breaking in regularly, its reputation will go down and fewer visitors will come here and it could only last for a year at max, and from what he heard from the old man, this shop was like this for a minimum of five years.

"We start cooking... Old man, go outside and try to get the people in."

"Yes, sir." Enryuu, even though he was far older and more experienced than the boy in front of him couldn't help but do what he is told and help them with all his strength, maybe that is because he spent the time cleaning with them and felt their feelings of true chefs and was affected.

"And Erina, start cooking some food, make something with a strong aroma, just enough to attract people in."

"...I will work on that." Erina didn't like taking orders from anyone, but since the man she loves is the one doing so, she can't say no.

"I will work as a waiter, let's get to work." The three parted in three directions. Enryuu went outside and opened the door slightly and flipped the [Open] sign.

Erina started cooking some sandwiches with different ingredients. Alexander grabbed them and put them on a table and faced them to the outside window where people can see clearly.

Enryuu managed to get a few people in who were attracted by the aroma and the appearance of the sandwiches.

And one thing these people knew, they did not regret coming in. In fact, that might be the best decision they made in their lives. After all, the chef that cooked the food is the God's tongue.

No sooner, as Alexander put more samples on display, more people came in.

Alexander got busier with serving people, Erina cooked as fast as she can to deliver her dishes on time.

As for Enryuu, the old man started relaxing as he didn't even need to act as people got inside with their own free will.

'That's the power of an Airport for ya!' Thought Alexander.

While the shop started regaining its business slowly. Not many people were happy about such a thing.

On the other side of the street, the group from early this morning was watching as the shop was filled with people eating inside and people outside complaining to get in.

Alexander took some spare tables and chairs and placed them outside for people to share. Even he himself didn't expect this amount of people to swarm the shop, but he realized that this is the power of Erina's cooking.

"Seiryuu...The shop is going up. We better do something, or the old man won't be forced to sell the building, Remember, if you want to enter the circle, you need that building." One of the blond-haired boy's goons from before said. His eyes were covered with his hoodie but a faint glow could be seen, a sinister glow at that.

The blond-haired boy named Seiryuu frowned "Yeah...these two from before."

"What should we do with them?" Asked the hooded boy

"We will 'talk' with them later this night..." A giant smirk formed on his face when he said that, this wasn't the first time something like this happened "...let's go."

The group of the 7 men started walking away, but not far from the shop as they still need to talk with the two new students and teach them that sometimes life isn't fair.
