Chapter 115: Female Pig is Supreme

Reading Settings

We arrived at the ramen shop and waited for about 20 minutes. Once seated, we ordered four servings of “Mesubuta Ramen.” All of our orders arrived 10 minutes later, which is relatively quick for a ramen shop.

Mesubuta Ramen, with its abalone-shaped char siu and bean sprout topping covered in a creamy, thick sauce, is undeniably delicious.

“This Mesubuta Ramen is really good,” Ange said, her voice filled with genuine admiration. The shop owner, a middle-aged man behind the counter, heard her.

“Ha ha ha! I’m thrilled to hear that from a foreign girl like you!”

“Yes, it’s really delicious.”

“Thanks! Our Mesubuta Ramen uses only the finest female pork for the broth, back fat, and char siu. Enjoy every drop of the soup!”

The owner continued, clearly in high spirits from Ange’s praise.

“This unique flavor comes only from female pork! Just like every person has their own special qualities, Ha ha ha!”

His reasoning was a bit off, but somehow it resonated with Kurebayashi-san, who paused with her chopsticks mid-air.

“Even a female pig… It’s okay… That’s why you asked me to move in with you. I should try to be positive and do my best.”

“Huh?”

Kurebayashi-san’s muttering was incomprehensible to me. I was more concerned about finishing the ramen before it got soggy.

“If you like it, we also offer takeout! Our vacuum-packed char siu is perfect for that.”

“Did he just say vacuum-packed?”

The owner kept his energy high, likely thrilled by Ange’s compliment. We might as well buy some takeout since we’re here.

“Thank you for the meal, big brother. It was really delicious~!”

“Yes, the soup and char siu were exquisite. I’d love to come again.”

“The white, creamy sauce that clings to your throat was amazing! It really left a lasting impression.”

Ange, Kurebayashi-san, and even my mom looked satisfied. The power of ramen is incredible, erasing the earlier tension.

Everyone was content, but then a not-so-kind email popped up.

“Where are you?” It was from Kenzaki-san. It was just a single line, but it seemed she needed to talk about something.

“I'm back home,” I replied cautiously, not wanting to mention I was out eating ramen.

“Can we meet tonight? I have some things to report.”

Her quick response indicated urgency. I was curious, too, about what happened after.

“Sure, where should we meet?”

“How about your apartment?”

Again? A top-tier celebrity like KYOKO is coming to my tiny apartment?

“Is something wrong, Yuuta?”

Kurebayashi-san asked, noticing my frown.

“KYOKO is coming over tonight to discuss something.”

“What!?”

“Why is Asuka-neesan coming at night!?” Ange exclaimed, alarmed.

Kurebayashi-san, looking anxious, pressed closer. “Why is she coming at night? It's strange, right?”

“Well, considering the incident, she probably has a lot to discuss.”

“It doesn’t make sense to visit at night! It's suspicious!”

“Well, I don't think there's anything strange about it.”

“I can stay with you tonight, right?”

“What?”

“If she's not going to do anything weird, then it's fine, right?”

“…”

Kurebayashi-san seemed desperate, but maybe Kenzaki-san would be pleased with this arrangement.

“Sure, why not? Kenzaki-san might actually prefer it.”

This could bring the two closer, which would be good for my matchmaking plans. Besides, there’s no way a normal guy like me could compete with a celebrity.

“Then I’ll stay too!”

“Ange, you have school tomorrow.”
