Chapter 136
"Provide a third option for you?"
Hearing Alice's request, Mineo instantly flashed a mischievous smile and said:
"A third option is indeed available!"
"Alice, look, besides needing full-time waitresses, my restaurant is also currently lacking a Lady Boss."
"If you don't mind, I can set aside one position as the proprietor's wife just for you!"
"How about it? Are you willing to consider it?"
"If you become the Lady Boss here, besides being able to enjoy high-grade ingredients to your heart's content, you will also receive many other benefits!"
Upon hearing Mineo's words, Alice immediately rolled her eyes.
"I knew a scumbag like you would say something like that!"
"I've realized from the start that you're someone who wants my body!"
"Still lacking a Lady Boss? If you have the intention to pursue me, just say it directly, got it?"
"Maybe one day when I'm in a good mood, I'll give you a chance!"
Alice actually wanted to continue the conversation with Mineo, but she suddenly felt a chill approaching her surroundings.
Subconsciously turning her head, Alice found that Erina was staring at her with sharp, fierce eyes.
For some inexplicable reason, after feeling Erina's gaze, Alice suddenly felt a pang of guilt in her heart.
"Erina, Mineo and I were just joking!"
"Don't... don't go misunderstanding the situation..."
"Misunderstanding?"
Hearing Alice's words, Erina gave a cold, mocking laugh.
"In a matter like this, there's nothing that needs to be labeled a misunderstanding!"
"If Alice wishes to be the Lady Boss at Mineo's place, I won't object!"
"But before that happens, I want to give you a serious warning."
"This man is an utterly unfaithful scumbag!"
"When the time comes that you've been completely used by him, just make sure you don't regret it."
Hearing Erina's words, Mineo felt helpless.
"Erina, can we stop talking about this 'unfaithful man' topic constantly?"
"Who have I betrayed? I am very sincere to everyone."
"Oh? If that's the case, does this mean I've misjudged Mineo-kun?"
Erina looked at Mineo with a cold, derisive stare.
"Just now, while we were upstairs, who was it that confessed their love to me?"
"And who was it that, after confessing to me, then openly showed interest in my cousin?"
"Before you've even managed to win me over, you're already thinking about many other things... Doesn't this kind of behavior fall right into the category of being unfaithful?"
Hearing Erina's words, Alice's gaze also changed instantly.
Her beautiful eyes flashed with a sharp aura of hostility.
"Mineo-kun, just now upstairs, you confessed to Erina?"
"Did this... really happen? I knew you were impressive... but your speed in making a move is truly something else!"
"Wanting my cousin, and wanting me too... right, and you've also secretly kept Kobayashi-senpai behind our backs."
"Why didn't I realize all this time that you were this kind of person?"
"Don't you plan on giving an explanation to me and my cousin?"
Caught under the cold glares of the two cousins, Erina and Alice, Mineo suddenly felt a lot of chills around him.
However, facing an 'Asura Field' conflict like this, Mineo wasn't intimidated in the slightest.
Two young girls who only relied on their verbal skills couldn't possibly be a match for him.
Facing the fierce stares of the two women, Mineo gave a thin smile and said:
"In my opinion, there is indeed a misunderstanding in this matter."
"Misunderstanding?"
Hearing Mineo's words, Erina and Alice simultaneously let out a cold laugh.
This scumbag actually dared to call such a situation a misunderstanding?
Erina gave the signature cold laugh of a young noble lady:
"Mineo-kun, are you trying to say that Alice and I have misjudged you? Is that it?"
"Having the desire to start a romantic relationship with both of us at the same time—isn't that the behavior of an unfaithful man?"
"In a matter like this, how could there possibly be a misunderstanding?"
After Erina finished her sentence, Alice immediately spoke up in a loud tone:
"If you like me and my cousin, just say it directly. I simply cannot understand what reason could justify a 'misunderstanding' in this case."
"If you have the ability, then give us an explanation until there is a logical conclusion."
"If you can provide a logical reason that makes us believe you completely... then I will... then I will..."
Seeing Alice struggling to find her words, Mineo said with a smiling face:
"If I can provide a logical reason that makes you both believe me completely, what will you do?"
"Will you agree to become the Lady Boss of my restaurant?"
Hearing Mineo's words, Alice let out a cold snort.
"Fine!"
"As long as you can give a logical reason that makes me believe you completely, then there's no harm in me becoming the Lady Boss."
"Not only that, I can even help you convince my sister!"
"Doesn't your brain always think of ways to take advantage of me and my cousin? Fine, give us your explanation. As long as you can provide a rational explanation that makes us agree, then even if we both have to be with you collectively, we certainly won't regret it!"
Hearing Alice's declaration, Erina was instantly shocked.
She immediately said to Alice in an urgent tone:
"Alice, how can you make a promise like that? I... it's simply impossible for me to..."
"Erina! Do you really think this man is capable of giving a rational explanation?"
Alice cut Erina off and said with a cold laugh:
"Wanting to pursue both of us at the same time—can such unfaithful behavior possibly have a rational explanation?"
"I, Alice, will not believe it today!"
"I really want to see what kind of rational reason this man can come up with."
Hearing Alice's words, Mineo felt very pleased.
This second young lady usually had a high intelligence, but why did she fall right into the trap today?
Mineo looked at Alice, smiled thinly, and said:
"Since Alice has said so, then I won't hide anything anymore."
"First of all, before I convey my true thoughts, there is one thing I must officially state."
"Regarding that matter, I truly do like both of you... I won't deny it."
"I have also always had the thought of successfully turning you both into the Lady Bosses of my restaurant."
"But I don't feel that having such a thought is a mistake, because I like you both so much that I thought of doing something for you."
