Chương 3: The Loner's Family Restaurant

"Seriously... I'm sure that it hasn't even been 5 minutes and the both of you had already started to fight with each other?" Suzuka sensei scolded both of us.

No, no, no, you got it wrong, young girl. It's clear that this rude girl is the one who picks up a fight with me, you should be scolding her only.

"...." The rude white-haired girl stayed silent.

*Sigh*

"Ray, sit down there," Instructed the gorilla sensei. I really want to go straight home right now, but to make sure she won't bother me again tomorrow, it might be best to finish this thing today.

Sitting at one of the chairs per gorilla sensei's orders as I fold my arms, I asked her, "So why did you called me here, sensei?"

"Indeed. Please make it short, sensei," Said the white-haired girl.

Seriously?

Does she still maintain that cocky tone even when talking to a teacher?

Well, it's not I care that much, but the world sure is in a moral and manner crisis.

"Ray Lance, Frostina Arlandine. Both of you are the best students of the academy, to make sure the both of you won't fail in your career, I've been tasked to fix your antisocial trait. So starting today, both of you will be entering the service club togethe-" (Suzuka Sensei)

"I'll pass," "Absolutely no,"

The white-haired girl called Frostina immediately answered together with me. I need to admit that her name is quite unique, but I won't just forget her rude manner towards me before just because of her good name.

"Both of you... I expected that answer from Frostina, but for you, Ray, to think that even though I had put a beautiful girl as bait, how could you still not interested to enter the club?" Asked the gorilla sensei.

Seriously, what kind of person do you think I am?

"A girl like her? No, absolutely no," I said with a shrug.

"!?" Frostina seems to get a little triggered by my response, but well, I don't really care. Can I go home now?

"Whoa, to think that even the Frostina that idolized by most of the boys still didn't make your heart skipped a beat, You sure are in a whole different world, Ray Lance," Suzuka sensei said in awe.

Well, of course. The only one that exists in my heart is my family and the princess!

The princess from my previous life, though. I could barely believe she is the same person as the one who is in the same class as me. They might coincidentally have the same face, but not the same soul!

Yes, let's stay positive.

"Well, if that's the only thing you want to say then let me excuse myself, sensei. Good evening," I immediately escaped and exit the room.

"Seriously, what a pain..." I muttered to myself.

Walking towards the academy's train station, I suddenly sense vibration from my pants.

*Bzzt* Bzzt*

I took out the thing that became the source of the vibration and saw [Li'l Sis] written on it.

"What is it, Sachi?"

[Hello, big bro, I'm going to hang out with my friends, 'kay? So please don't call me again]

"Okay, Don't come home too-"

[Okay, goodbye]

Before I even finished my words, my little sister cut in and end the call.

"Well, she knows what I gonna say, anyway,"

Yup, despite being alone, having no families in both of my previous lives, I now have one little brother and one little sister to take care of. We lost our parents when I was 13, leaving not so much money and a family restaurant that our father used to manage.

The day I regained my previous lives' memories is the same as the day they died. My memories appeared so suddenly together with my old powers.

This city we're living in is called ZhongChu, it's from the word Zhong from Chinese and Chu from Japanese's Chukan. Both of them have the meaning of 'Middle' since this city is a city that has the nationality of both Chinese and Japan, and is the form of the friendly ties between the two countries.

The academy I'm attending is an international academy governed by both countries, it has all top-notched facilities, and it's filled with genius and rich kids, no ordinary kids could enter the academy. All universities gladly open themselves to whoever graduates from this academy, even if they have bad grades.

"We've arrived at the Yasnaya station,"

I exit the train and walked for a few minutes before finally arrive at a mid-sized family restaurant. The family restaurant looked rather plain, it's the type of restaurant that young people definitely won't hang out at.

It's fine, though.

My father designs it this way, and I'm fine with it since it's comfortable that there won't be any troublesome kids that need to take a picture of their food before starting to eat.

The doorbell rang as I opened the restaurant's door.

"Welcome to- Oh, welcome back, young master," said one of the restaurant's waitresses.

"I'm back, wait up, let me take a bath first,"

As it's a family business and my name is the one written as the owner, I obviously need to take care of it since this restaurant is one of the precious sources of income for me to pay for our necessities.

After taking shower, I put on the cashier's uniform, take a book, and take over the cashier from the waitress.

"How's school young master?" Asked her.

"Same as usual, no, don't check my mind, Hino. I'll fire you if you do," I threatened the girl name Hino who is one of the restaurant's waitresses.

"Y-You're so mean, young master... Even though I was only checking whether you're fine or not..."

"Shut up, and drop that young master thing, please. It'll make the others think wrong things about me," I said indifferently as I sit and open the book I about to read.

Yes, most of the people working here are not humans. Most of them are demons that worked under me in my second life when I became the great undead.

Because of the greatly reduced mana source on the earth, demons that need mana the most to live became unable to maintain their physical body and trapped in their spiritual form. They're the ghosts that people these days mention.

The demons who used to serve under me remembered their previous lives at the same time I regained my memories. And since there is still a link between us, after making over the contract with me, they became able to have a human form.

There are also several cases where the demon got reincarnated into a human, when they regained their previous memories, they entered the semi-spiritual form where they became only visible to those that have a strong soul.

Most of them had families, have a job, and have school to attend. Luckily I found all of them in less than three days, it must be a horrible memory for them to be invisible from their families.

Ah, I forgot to make a coffee.

"Hino, could you make me a cup of coffee?"

"Gladly~" Hino answered happily as her dark purple hair swayed as she run to the kitchen.

Hino Entama. She is one of the youkai that make a contract with me and became able to have a human form. She's a Hinoenma, a flying demon that excels in mind and fire magic. Their charm magic is considered irresistible by the old world's magic tower.

"It sure is peaceful..." I couldn't help but mutter as I gaze at the restaurant.

The customers that came are mostly old folks, but all of them are loyal customers that always come to eat together with their families. The customers' visits are average on workdays, but it will get rowdy when it's holidays.

*Bzzt* *Bzzt*

My phone once again vibrates.

But this time, the one who called is not my little sister.

"What is it?" I immediately asked after answering the call.

[We got another deal, the opponent is big ones, the deal was offered by the Panama group, the offer is 40.000 Yuan]

A hoarse voice appeared from the call.

"I see, that's a huge sum, send our elites," I answered without showing any hesitation.

Damn, 40.000 Yuan, just how much ramen could I buy if I have that much.

[Understood. Should I join them?]

"No, contact me if anything bad happens. Tell them that we prioritize our men rather than the reward,"

[Understood]

And the call finally ends.

It's a call from one of my youkai subordinates. Since running a restaurant won't give me enough money to make sure my siblings' lives, I couldn't help but make another source of income.

In this world, whether it is small agencies, big agencies, small companies, big companies, huge companies, or even international companies, all of them use the help of mystical power to help them advance and compete.

They'll hire youkai to kill, sabotage, threaten, or steal pieces of information from their opponent. Taking an advantage of it, I made my own agency that moves to protect companies and agencies from demonic attacks.
