King of Food

During the break, when Yume returned and ate lunch with everyone, she was dumbfounded. 

"You are going to Osaka, and we're also going on the trip to Ise-Shima?" 

"Yes." 

"...." 

Yume wasn't sure how to feel as everything happened so suddenly. She just went to rest in the infirmary for a while; then, suddenly, she was told that Mizuto was going to Osaka, and they also went on a trip to Ise-Shima. 

Still, Mizuto patiently explained his plan to Yume, who somehow could only sigh and accept it. 

His single trip to Osaka aside, Yume felt helpless about the trip to the Ise-Shima since, if possible, she wanted to go on a trip with him alone. Still, if it was before, she might get annoyed by how hasty his decision was, but strangely enough, she only sighed helplessly and just accepted.

What was this?

Suddenly, she felt the vastness of her heart. She felt like she could forgive him about this matter, and even if Reina and Akatsuki came along, it didn't matter as she knew that he loved her. 

'And...' 

She glanced at his shoulder and lowered her head shyly. 'You can't, Yume! You can't be a pervert!' Yet, could she be blamed? She thought it would be painful at first, but she didn't expect that it would be so enjoyable, believing that he was as talented as ever. Moreover, his beastly-like expression last night was still vivid in her mind, making her body quiver due to excitement. 

"...." Mizuto and Akatsuki. 

The two ate their lunch quietly as they saw Yume's lewd face, feeling a bit embarrassed.

While Mizuto couldn't bear it, Akatsuki sighed and understood why Yume showed such a face, but unlike Yume, who couldn't control herself, her control in public was perfect. 

"Yume! Yume!" 

"W-What's wrong, Reina?" 

Yume quickly woke up when Reina called her name. 

"Your face... how to say... it is too perverted." 

"I-I AM NOT PERVE—" 

Fortunately, Mizuto moved fast by hugging this girl on his arm so she wouldn't say anything stupid. However, Yume, who was still in her dream, felt shy by his sudden embrace. 

"H-Hey, we're in the school... wait until we go back..." 

Her sexy mutter and sigh made Mizuto even more speechless since this girl was too perverted, right?

Still, after that incident, nothing had happened, and as usual, he helped her to wipe her dirty, bouncy buttocks by saying some nonsense casually so his stepsister wouldn't be seen as a dirty girl. 

Fortunately, even if Yume's control over emotion wasn't as good as Akatsuki's, her brain was smarter, and she also quickly realized what she almost did, which made her look at Mizuto gratefully, thinking that she should thank him later. 

However, Akatsuki aside, Reina watched the two weirdly, feeling once again being left out as if she was the only one who didn't know anything, and to be honest, she hated this feeling. She wasn't sure why she thought of this, but she recalled the words he said when they gathered together for the first time. 

"You don't need to worry. I won't fall for you." 

Reina pouted, then looked away. 

Mizuto wasn't sure what everyone was thinking as he didn't pick Esper as his job. While such a job existed, he really didn't have an interest in becoming one, and the requirement to become one was just too difficult for him to do. Still, as he could max out his 6th job, he could choose his 7th job. 

The question was, what kind of job should he take?

Mizuto had taken the "Merchant," "Student," "Lover," "Real Estate Developer," "Businessman," and "Hotelier." With his focus on the resort business, he knew that there was only one choice that he should make. 

[Congratulations, you have chosen the "restaurateur" as your new job!]

[Create the best restaurant and conquer the stomaches of all the people in this world!]

Yes, he chose the "Restaurateur" job as his 7th job. 

He didn't choose a "Chef" or something else since he was sure that such a job only worked for him individually, but the "Restaurateur" worked for all the food businesses and people who worked under him. 

Now, why did he choose this job?

It is because delicious food is indispensable in a good hotel. It is so important that one needs to spend a lot of money to invite a famous chef. 

Mizuto's resort was a luxury type, so he wished to have the best, whether it was the accommodation, service, or food. Moreover, when he thought about his experience eating at his first luxury hotel, he knew that this job was necessary. 

Lastly, the market size of the food business was immense! 

Everyone needed to eat every day, and for food, they wouldn't hesitate to spend their money. By this point, it was easy to see how important foods were, right? 

With this job, his business could also be expanded, and he was also thinking of taking down several famous restaurant companies in this country, such as McDonald's Japan, Matsuya Foods, KFC in Japan, Marugame Udon, and many others. He even thought of taking down Saizeriya, Akatsuki's favorite family restaurant, where she often stayed for dinner. 

Moreover, unlike the real estate business, the profit he could gain from the food industry was amazing, especially when the restaurant was booming. 

Naturally, this was the case if the restaurant was popular, but with all the jobs he had taken along with the "Restaurateur" job, was it even possible for him to fail?

Nevertheless, like any other job, he gained five active skills and two passive skills. Those skills were "Delicious," "Fresh," "Clean," "Economical," "Service," "Chains," and "Restaurant Mastery." 

Feeling satisfied with his choice, he was going to explain the active skills first. 

Though he had to say, whether it was the "Clean," "Economical," or "Service," skills were quite similar to the skills of other jobs, but as they came from "Restaurateur" jobs, they focused on food production. 

The "Clean" skill would protect the hygiene of restaurants, and others who were related to his restaurant's business would be absolutely clean. 

The "Economical" skill would suppress or even erase all the costs for his restaurant business. It was also similar to the "Economical" skill of the "Real Estate Developer," but instead of focusing on building, it focused on the cost of the restaurant business, such as utility, marketing, labor, and many others. 

The "Service" skill was also similar to the "Hospitality" skill of the "Hotelier" as it would increase the ability of those who worked in his restaurants, whether they were chefs, waiters, or many others. 

Still, if there was something that made this job special, it was because of these two active skills, "Delicious" and "Fresh." 

The "Delicious" skill would make all the foods served, sold, and cooked in his restaurant become several times more delicious. Meanwhile, the "Fresh" skill would keep all the ingredients in the best and freshest state for a longer time. 

There was no doubt that with those two skills alone, this job was worth it being chosen. 

Then, what about passive skills?

Similar to the "Hotelier" job, the passive skills of the "Restaurant" were quite similar, which were "Chain" and "Restaurant Mastery." 

If the "Chain" skill was like an "Expansion" skill, which gave him advice on how to develop his restaurants, then the "Restaurant Mastery" gave him all the knowledge for a restaurant business. 

Nevertheless, Mizuto let out an amazed sigh, thinking that his focus after the real estate industry should be on the food industry. Resting his chin on his palm, he looked at the scenery outside, thinking that his future was too dazzling, right?

After this "Restaurateur," his next job should be something that will increase his physical ability and protect himself. 

By the way, what do you think is the best martial art?

One that is most useful on the street, naturally.
