"Then you have two girls living in your house but neither of them is your girlfriend, am I correct?"
"Exact"
Haruta was currently in the kitchen of the udon 'Ogata' noodle restaurant where he works as a chef, together with the owner of the restaurant, both were cooking and talking about Haruta's problems.
"You have a complicated situation boy, not many men have the opportunity to have two girls fighting for their love but those who are in this situation suffer to find a solution" said the owner with his arms crossed and a serious expression.
On the other hand, Haruta was cooking at full speed, this time unlike all the other times there was an unusual client looking for luxury food.
The owner had repeatedly refused saying only Udon and some variations were served but nothing fancy.
For the client, all the owner's statements were empty and he kept asking for luxury food, after bothering the owner for a while, Haruta appeared from the kitchen saying that he would take care of the problem, so the owner and Haruta were in the kitchen preparing the food. , this time the owner works as Haruta's assistant.
"Do I really have to choose?" Haruta asked somewhat annoyed remembering the expressions of both girls.
"You cannot just leave them up in the air without a concrete answer, it is inevitable that someone will get hurt in such a relationship" the owner was wise to advise Haruta.
"Sigh ..." Haruta let out a long breath as he cooked 'this relationship is really tedious, I had no experience in my first life that can help me right now' Haruta said in his mind complaining to himself as he was watched by The owner of the restaurant.
"Don't suffer, boy," said the owner, putting his hand on Haruta's shoulder while smiling amiably, "There is still another solution ... it has great risks but the reward may be even greater"
The owner's expression attracted the attention of Haruta, it was rare to see the owner acting serious and that he was helping him with his emotional problems' For a person like the owner, having a solution to this problem must be a piece of cake, there are risks but the profit it is even older .... "Haruta saw a trace of hope as he listened to the owner.
"Well, I want to know what the solution is" declared Haruta showing resolution in his eyes.
The owner could only smile "Well boy, I am going to give you the maximum solution ..... you have to use the old method that the most macho men of all used, I am talking about the harem" said the owner with a mysterious tone but I laughed
Haruta's expression was crumbling, her smile was the one that disappeared first "is it a joke?" Haruta asked looking at the owner "I thought you would talk to me about a real solution, that only exists in novels and video games in real life there is no room for a harem that must be perfectly known, right?" Haruta asked looking at the owner with a severe expression.
"Arrogant brat, I just wanted to see someone try to create a harem ... I knew you would not be successful but it was worth the try" said the owner letting out a snort as he made his way to the other side of the kitchen "I hope you're done fast with your food, the table of the luxury client I do not think it will wait forever "said the owner looking out the window at the table where four people were in elegant suits.
"What are these weirdos doing here?" the owner asked himself quietly.
"My dish is ready, Cod with pear mayonnaise crust" Haruta's words were accompanied with his steps while in his hands rested a small plate with a metal lid "Everything is ready for delivery"
the owner stared at the plate in Haruta's hands, he himself had witnessed the entire process that Haruta went through to finish the plate.
"Did the cod transform into that?" asked the owner with doubts but when he saw Haruta nod his head without a hint of doubt in his eyes he knew that this was not a game "Very well, I will deliver the dishes" said the owner taking the dishes but before leaving from the kitchen stood still "Then you have to teach me how to cook like this ..."
"Sure, as long as you increase my salary" Haruta said with a confident smile as he turned around to continue with the other orders.
Haruta prepared the other orders with speed, since it was the usual work he was doing and there was no problem.
"Haruka-kun!" the owner of the voice was the daughter of the restaurant owner, Rizu Ogata who entered the agitated kitchen "Haruta-kun" repeated calling the chef
"What's going on Ogata-chan?" Haruta asked who was making the dough for Udon's next dishes.
"The requests changed .... people want the special" Ogata said with a broken voice while her expression was as dry as ever.
"The special one?" Haruta asked without understanding what Ogata was referring to "I don't remember the owner adding any special on the menu ..."
Haruta took the restaurant menu and went through it from head to toe looking for any changes that were not contemplated "No, there is no special" said Haruta shaking his head
"It's not that, people want to try the dish made with Cod" Ogata said seriously making Haruta understand what he was referring to "Papa added it as the special dish of the day, he said you had enough and many asked for it"
"How many orders are there in total?" Haruta asked, Ogata answered raising both his hands with all his fingers extended "Ten ... well, the orders come out in a moment"
