Heaven-shaking Secret — I didn’t expect you to actually be a chef at Tian Xia Restaurant


Friday arrived in the blink of an eye. Eight Treasures sent a message into the group chat as soon as she touched down onto A City’s airport. 「Comrades, I’ve returned! I’m going home first to wash my hair and change clothes. Tonight, let’s meet up at Tian Xia Restaurant!」

Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: 「『OK』」

Invincible Little Sweetie: 「I have evening shift today…can’t go anymore『sheds tears』」

Eight Treasures Congee Female Hero: 「Your company’s overtime simply has a grudge against us…」

Invincible Little Sweetie: 「『sheds tears』『sheds tears』『sheds tears』」

Eight Treasures Congee Female Hero: 「@Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year,  so just us two going?」

Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: 「I’ll ask if Haruto wants to go」

Eight Treasures Congee Female Hero: 「Okay, I haven’t seen him for several years. Did he grow taller? Become more handsome?」

Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: 「What a pity that he is still as foolish as before 『smile』」

At first she wanted to talk about how Haruto had cast himself into the enemy camp and was duty-bound not to turn back after Mr. Kim from downstairs had conveniently given him a ride, but after typing in the words ‘Mr. Kim from downstairs,’ she deleted her message with lightning speed.

Close call; she nearly gave Jihyo an opportunity to roast her.

A new customer just happened to come in when she sent Haruto an inquiring message. Lisa said ‘welcome’ out of habit, only to then clearly see who had entered.

It was Jimin’s younger sister.

She suddenly felt a bit awkward but still came back to reality very quickly. She smiled. “Did you come for a manicure again?”

The girl said, “Not today; help me remove the manicure from last time.”

“Okay, sit here.” Lisa washed her hands and sat down in front of her after retrieving her tools. “We remove nail polish free of charge here.”

“Mn, I know.” The girl extended her hand, asking her, “Did you break up with my older brother?”

“…” Lisa was silent for a moment before saying, “I don’t consider it to be a break up.”

“My older brother has been depressed for several days after returning home.”

“Eh…is he okay?”

“He got a bit better recently.” The girl looked up to stare at her. “Why did you want to break up with him? Was it because you thought he wasn’t good enough somewhere?”

“No, I explained very clearly to him that it was me who was no good.”

The girl didn’t say anything after that. Lisa also remained silent as she helped her remove the manicure. When she left, Lisa disappointedly cuddled with the mantis shrimp plush toy on the sofa; Eight Treasures had given it to her as a present for her last birthday, saying that only the mantis shrimp would keep her company.

At first this was simply a joke, but it appeared that it truly was like a curse now.

Ai, how long must we keep each other company, mantis shrimp?
