Summoned and Unwanted

419 Crisps, drinks, and... slaps?

Vincent closed the door, leaving Vivid to handle Nick alone.

Vincent turned his head and saw everyone, including Plow looking at him as if they couldn’t hold from asking about his and Kazumi’s thoughts. Lupa started first while Iris asked last.

Vincent sighed. He couldn’t respond with a suitable answer because he had never written a love letter to anyone before. In the end, the confession was handled mainly by Kazumi and Lilith.

Kazumi was able to remember what Vincent read in the past, while Lilith loved reading stories about the romance trope. Stories about the damsel in distress being saved by a knight in shining armor were the type she read the most.

On the other hand, Vincent, Ester, Lupa, and Iris helped the two experts create a memorable confession, while Vivid and Pussy helped by making this plan go unnoticed before it began.

“I understand what you girls are saying, but we lit a spark in those two. Now, we can only hope it doesn’t extinguish.” Vincent answered.

‘I can’t ask my girls to bother Clair anymore. I don’t want Clair to feel manipulated, so I will leave what happens to fate.’ Vincent thought. He made the decision to stop before Clair lost her trust in them.

Vincent and the girls walked the coin road. Many students with their servants moved their gaze on them as a man walking with four women, and a cute unique little fox was easy to catch their attention even if they weren’t interested.

As they were enjoying their time, a strange sight caught their attention. Clair was cooking while Pussy and the student owner of the food stall were serving food.

.....

“Clair?” Pussy overheard this question said by many and with a surprised tone.

Pussy waved her hand and signaled to come over, saying, “Here. Come here. Take a seat and have fun.”

There were four tables, and two of them had students eating while peeking at Pussy. Obviously, the carefree cat girl acting as a waitress attracted the wrong attention. However, the students were eating the food without complaining. It appeared the food was good enough for a noble’s taste bud.



???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

After insisting on approaching another time, they agreed to see what the sly cat girl was up to.

Pussy cheerfully seated them and began to explain what happened from the moment Clair left. Well, not much happened other than Clair needing a place to clear her mind to think.

Pussy revealed how Clair usually clears her mind by cooking. As the situation required peace of mind, Pussy asked around to help Clair think.

A second-year student looked rather sad as he didn’t have anyone buying food from his stall. Pussy’s offer of a cook with a cooking class and a waitress was quickly accepted.

“We are working here until about an hour passes with no customers.” Pussy looked at the two tables with students and smiled. *Purr* “I hope they don’t stop coming. Master needs a lot of time to think after all.”

Pussy slyly said. Her words and actions made it clear that she knew what the students were looking at. It became evident that Clair’s mother personally chose Pussy to protect her daughter based on her sly and quick-witted personality.
Pussy winked and asked, “So, what do these customers want?”

[This sly cat trapped us.]

*Gulp* Vincent looked at his wives, smiling at him as if they wanted to help Clair by ordering something. His money trembled, but he couldn’t say no after being involved in this situation.

*Sigh* “Bring us a light snack to share. You want publicity, right?” Vincent hoped Pussy wouldn’t bring a costly meal to the table.

Shortly, Pussy brought four plates of crisps made out of thinly cut potatoes. On each plate was a different sauce made by Clair. Pussy’s trap quickly became a pleasant time. Furthermore, as Vincent mentioned, many were looking at them.

Clair noticed Vincent, Ester, Lupa, Iris, Lilith, and Plow eating and enjoying the food she made. It made Clair happy to see people she knew liked her food.

As time passed, Clair became surprised that the four tables had customers eating her food, and many others ordered takeaway.

Later, Clair saw Vincent and his wives stand up and about to leave. They waved at her before leaving, and she slightly waved back.

Clair felt a pang in her heart at the sight of Ester, Lupa, Iris, and Lilith looking happy in their relationship with Vincent. Customers who were a couple also began to make her think about what Nick said.

About half a day had passed, and another half remained. Clair had enough time to set her feelings straight because the customers wouldn’t stop visiting any time soon.

The owner of the stall was happy with the customers, and he was later offered deals to expand. Meeting Clair and Pussy was like finding a gem under the dirt.

The evening sky was turning dark while spending a lot of time relaxing in the area known as the Paradise Heart.

Vincent suggested returning to the house before leaving the island. They soon left and visited the food stall. Clair and Pussy were still working.

“Is everything okay here?” Vincent went to ask out of concern.

“The owner told us he will close shop in about half an hour because we almost have no more food left.” Pussy responded and didn’t mention experiencing any headships.

Vincent nodded and left, intending to tell Nick or Vivid about the food stall. Coincidently, Vincent saw Nick and Vivid drinking in a small alcohol stall after walking for a few minutes.

After Vincent informed them about Clair and Pussy, the two paid the tab and left in a hurry. If Nick wanted to talk to Clair or not, only they could traverse their own fate.

The coin road was packed with people, and they needed to find a vacant place. As they walked to the side of the road, Kazumi noticed a woman with white hair walking with a man. She guessed they might be Jun Ye Rim and the history teacher Ming Xiao Fan upon a better look.

Curiosity overwhelmed Kazumi, per usual. She urgently requested Vincent to follow them while thinking if the two of them had a special relationship. Both were elves, and they walked side by side under the darkening sky. It smelled like an interesting story to uncover.

After taking a vote on what to do, spying on Jun Ye Rim was passed with a unanimous vote. They secretly followed the two elves to a small house.

As they watched the loner Jun Ye Rim enter the small house alone with a man, a frown appeared on their faces. Previously, she chose to die because Vincent was a man, and she thought he was going to do bad things to her.

‘Are they together?’ They thought.

Kazumi left Vincent’s body, went to a corner, and poked her face to see what was happening. At first, she felt excited, but the two elves sat on a chair and drank tea. The two elves later started reading different books.

Vincent saw Kazumi returning with a frown. Instead of excitement and a taboo experience between a teacher and a student, all Kazumi saw was a boring book reading activity.

“Kazumi said they are reading books. She didn’t approach to see the books though because of the Soul Servant in Jun Ye Rim’s body.” Vincent explained. He looked at his girls and asked, “Shall we go home?”

Lilith took out her academy student card. *Sigh* “I thought something exciting was happening inside.” She said after imagining mature scenarios happening inside.

“Go Residence.” Vincent and Lilith said, taking everyone with them to their island residence.

“Your teammates left, young one.” Ming Xiao Fan said. He closed the book, stood up, and continued, “Shall we resume, young one? I hope you follow my instructions carefully this time.”

“I...” Jun Ye rim averted her eyes. “I will do it better this time...”

*Coin Road Food Stall*

Clair and Pussy finished working. The second-year student paid both the cook and the waitress as he promised after he didn’t have enough food for tomorrow.

After they received their pay with a smile on their faces, a student approached Clair and Pussy. He asked if they were interested in working for him tomorrow, but both declined.

The goal was for Clair to cook and clear her mind instead of working as a chef. They didn’t need to look for work as today was enough.

The pleasant situation turned horrifying upon the student’s arrival as he didn’t like their response. He suddenly slapped Pussy’s face and asked to be compensated for being disrespected by a salve.

The compensation he requested was for both girls to work for him for free.

“But... but...” Clair helplessly trembled after seeing Pussy on the floor, touching a red cheek.

Clair looked around, but the people didn’t look like they wanted to help.

“B... Blackheart...” Clair uttered after taking a good look at the aggressive student’s shirt.

Kilo Blackheart swung his hand to slap Clair’s face while saying, “Don’t speak my name, wench!”

One. Two. Three seconds passed, but the hand about to slap her didn’t reach her cheek. Clair opened her eyes and saw Nick in front of her. He was holding Kilo’s hand.

Clair quickly glanced at Pussy and saw Vivid helping her get up. Her heart felt comforted to be helped by Nick.

“Unhand me!” Kilo Blackheart demanded.

“Tell me. Why are you hostile to my teammate?” Nick questioned, boiling with anger.

The alcohol he previously had to drown his sorrow enticed him to start a fight without thinking about the consequences to come.
