106 Curious

The second day of the moon festival started at an early time of the day. Students didn't get the chance to rest properly from yesterday's rush, but, even though they are still exhausted, they can't just quit, after all, they signed up for this.

The gang from the North Star opened quite early with their staff. They have announced on their website that from today, the restaurant won't accept any further reservation. Their plan was to freestyle while serving the customers who had reserved their tables at the same time. A difficult feat but not impossible.

Isami abandoned his position in confirming the reservations and joined his brother, Takumi, in dragging more customers in the restaurant. They want to max out their income, they need more customers.

Takumi and Isami were used to such thing, so they found it easy to get more customers in. With Takumi's good look and smooth words, their customers' numbers increased noticeably.

But, with Takumi being away from the kitchen, Alexander, Ryo, Hayama, and Alice took it upon themselves to work even harder trying to make every dish in their long-ass list.

Alexander started regretting his previous idea "I should've never suggesting making this long list, i take it back, i take everything back.' He thought. The fact that Alice was still standing was a miracle, She was trained to be a chef who can handle everything, but this was still tough for her.

Unlike the customers, they can't take a break, only between those little moments where they need to leave the dishes to be cooked on the heat, but even then, they still have to start preparing for another dish.

The long day went like that, not much of troubles happened in the kitchen as the gang had their staff to help if anything happened.

The ranking was announced and North Star still maintained its rank behind Momo from the elite 10. Although there was a significant increase in their income which brought them a step further to take the lead.

Erina's booth did pretty well as she took the third place, knocking her senpai in the process to the fourth place.

The moon festival ended its second day without much improvement and students and the visitors went back to their homes. Alexander and the gang had another meeting in the north start dormitory.

"Today's income increased much more than we anticipated," Hayama said.

"Indeed, as we now have forsaken the reservation system, we can take in more customers," Alexander confirmed, Today's results only proved as such. "And we got more familiar with how things run around us, we can take it easy for the time being, and we can start handing more responsibilities to the other staff members."

"Yeah, they have been helping us tirelessly, we should give them the chance to leave their impact." Said Takumi, he really felt grateful for all the girls and boys that put a lot of hard work in helping them this time around.

"I can't agree more than that..." Alice chuckled "And it was time that the 6 of us reach our limits as we can't keep up with the huge numbers alone, especially since the third day of the festival is tomorrow."

"What is wrong with the third day, Alice-san?" Asked Isami.

"fufu~ on the third day, performers start hosting their shows on Totsuki's ground attracting more attention and more customers, and after that, it is Saturday and Sunday, and you guys should know what that means.."

And just like what Alice said, the next day, performers from across japan came to Totsuki and with them, a new flood of people arrived. Thanks to that, every booth had an increase in their customers.

In the North Star. Things were heated in the kitchen, this time. Alexander and the gang handed the cooking to the other staff members who were working close to them for this moment. They got to relax a bit, but they still needed to work.

Alexander was making sure all customers were seated and no one was overstaying inside. He made sure to greet everyone with a smile and spoke gently and with care. He spent the day tending to everyone's needs until night started descending.

Alexander got tired and stretched his body for a long time to relieve the stress on his muscles. And that was when a gentle hand tapped on his shoulder.

Alexander turned to look behind him and saw his red-headed princess with many plastic bags on her arms while stuffing her mouth with some food she picked up from the nearby booths. "Yahoo~" Rindo greeted Alexander with a giant grin on her face

Alexander sighed "What brought you here?" he asked after dragging Rindo to a corner where they can't disturb the flow of the restaurant.

"So cold~your cute fianceé came to visit you and you didn't even give her something to eat." Rindo pouted cutely making Alexander laugh subtly. "Hey, give me one of that jelly Sushi you made in the election's final!" Rindo said with sparkles in her eyes. That dish was on her mind for too long

"Okay, take a seat. You're lucky you came late when customers stopped rushing in." Alexander said. He went inside the kitchen and prepared the jelly Sushi and brought it to Rindo who humped on it like crazy.

"So goood!!" She said. She took very small bites trying to enjoy it as much as possible.

After finishing her food, Rindo seemed to have remembered something "Hey..." She looked at Alexander who was sitting beside her "Do you remember that i wanted to introduce you to someone?" she asked. Alexander just shrugged his shoulders.

"Great, then i want to take you to see him now. Even though you've seen him before." Rindo stood up and cleaned her clothes. She said the last part in a whisper. Alexander shook his head. He was dead sure that Rindo will drag him even if he refused.

"Wait here." Alexander went back to the kitchen. After a few moments, he came back with Alice stuck behind him, she was giving Rindo death glares.

"It seems there are no problems, we are about to close anyway," Alexander said with a little smile and started walking in front of the girls. Unaware that Rindo and Alice are engaging in a cold war

"Just what is your plan?" Alice asked in a low voice

"Nothing, I just wanted to introduce him to a friend~," Rindo said with an obvious tone

The trio made their way outside "This way..." Rindo leads them to their destination. And the truth must be told. It was the shortest journey Alexander ever had.

"This is it." Rindo stood in front of the white building with her arms on her hips

Alexander and Alice had deadpan faces "Isn't this Tsukasa's restaurant?" Alexander said with a tired tone.

"Don't mind the details, I want to show you something..." Rindo dragged Alexander and Alice "Aren't you guys curious about what kind of food the first seat makes?"

********************************************

Alexander will meet Tsukasa?! The two strongest chefs of Totsuki will meet face to face officially...As they say, One Mountain Cannot Contain Two Tigers!
