I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"Yes, yes, the color and aroma of this dish are absolutely wonderful."

"Hmm, these dishes are even better than those made by the head chef in my family back then..."

Upon hearing their words, Huang subconsciously glanced at the table between them.

Fried chicken nuggets, thick omelets, bacon-wrapped enoki mushrooms, octopus-shaped hot dogs, roasted potato chips... and a whole bunch of delicious things.

Huang glanced expressionlessly at the deluxe bento box made by Yuhaka on the table, then at the food in the Rhodes Island cafeteria. For some reason, Huang suddenly felt that the food at Rhodes Island didn't taste good anymore.

………………

Kal'tsit arrived at Eyhaka's Meru Cat Restaurant with her tablet. Seeing the long line outside, she looked puzzled, then glanced at Blaze, who was at the back of the line looking somewhat embarrassed, and said:

"Hmm, Huang, the Merlin Cat Restaurant is quite lively this time."

"a ha ha ha……"

Chapter 153 [New Employees Coming Soon]

It was evening, in the bathroom of a Rhodes Island landship slowly sailing through the wilderness.

"Mmm...ah...after work, a good meal, a hot shower, and a glass of milk is definitely the best!"

After finishing a bottle of milk, Exusiai, dressed in a penguin logistics outfit, said this. Meanwhile, Texas, who was drying Ehka's hair, bit into a Pocky and said to Ehka:

"Okay, it's all clean now."

Upon hearing the Texas accent, Yuhaka rubbed her slightly frizzy hair. Croissant, who was standing nearby, helped Yuhaka calculate the profits from her Meru Cat Restaurant and then, with a look of surprise, said to Yuhaka and the others:

"Wow! Yoyo-chan's restaurant made quite a bit of money today!"

Exusiai, who had overheard Croissant's words, curiously joined in and said:

"Hmm, let me see... Wow!"

Exusiai looked at the ledger and other calculations on Croissant's phone with a surprised expression, and said to Croissant:

"Hey, Croissant, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?! Isn't this number a bit too exaggerated?"

Croissant frowned, pouted, and looked at Exusiai, saying:

"How could I possibly have miscalculated? I even recalculated it myself and the result was exactly the same."

Then Croissant whispered to Exusiai:

"You should know that Youyou basically uses all the ingredients herself, so she doesn't need to calculate the cost of the ingredients."

Upon hearing Croissant's words, Exusiai understood why Yuhaka could earn so much money. Apart from the cost of some seasonings, the cost of a bunch of dishes was basically just the cost of water, electricity, and gas for the gas stove.

Youhaka can make a lot of money from just one dish, with minimal cost.

Texas overheard Croissant and Exusiai's conversation. She looked down at Yuhaka, who was drinking milk with her head on her chest. She hadn't expected that this little guy drinking milk in her arms could run the restaurant so well all by himself. However, Texas thought that it might be too hard for Yuhaka to run a bustling restaurant by himself (but it wasn't actually that hard).

Texas looked at Exusiai and the others standing to the side and said this.

"To be honest, I'm still a little worried about letting Youyou run the Melu Cat Restaurant by herself..."

Upon hearing Texas's words, Exusiai volunteered, raising her right hand and saying:

"Then I'll help Youyou!"

Texas raised an eyebrow at Exusiai and said:

"Are you reliable?"

Seeing Texas looking at her with a somewhat scrutinizing expression, Exusiai immediately became unhappy and said:

"Is that what you call 'reliable'?" Ah, I've always been reliable, haven't I?

Upon hearing Exusiai's words, Croissant and Sora, who were standing to the side, both gave Exusiai an awkward yet polite smile, though Exusiai herself didn't notice.

Texas, chewing on a Pocky stick and swaying a few times, looked at Exusiai and said:

"Who ate the customer's takeout order last time they went to deliver it?"

Upon hearing Texas's words, Exusiai's body and expression immediately stiffened. Her neck creaked as she turned her head away from Texas, avoiding her gaze, and said:

"Um... I forgot I was delivering food..."

Texas looked at Exusiai, who was sweating profusely, and said:

"I'm worried that you might forget you're a waiter and eat the food served to the guests instead."

Without waiting for Exusiai's reply, Texas shook her head and said:

"Fine, if you want to help Youyou, I hope you won't cause her any trouble."

Upon hearing Texas's words, Exusiai immediately struck a pose showing off her arm muscles and said:

"Leave it to me! There won't be any problems this time!"

Then Texas took a new Pocky stick from her box, put it in her mouth, and said to them:

"I'll discuss this with Miss Amiya tonight."

Just after Texas and her friends finished discussing helping out at the Yuhaka Meru Cat Restaurant, Proswan, who had just finished showering, overheard their conversation and became interested, saying:

"Um, Miss Texas, is your sister's Melu Cat Restaurant short-staffed?"

Texas paused for a moment after hearing Proswan's words, then nodded and said:

"Well, because the restaurant has been very busy several times today, I'm a little worried that Youyou might not be able to handle everything."

Proswan nodded in agreement with Texas's words. After all, she was also a customer of Yohaka's Meru Cat Restaurant. Yohaka's meat dishes made Proswan feel very satisfied. To be honest, she hadn't eaten fresh meat for a while.

There might be a few times when we visit the mobile city, but there's very little fresh meat here on Rhodes Island; it's mostly frozen meat.

Frozen meat will taste and feel slightly inferior to fresh meat.

Proswan looked at Texas and Yhaka and said:

"If you need any help, I can call some assistants over."

Then Proswan rubbed his palms together and said:

"If you can include breakfast, lunch, and dinner, we can do it for free."

Upon hearing Prosven's words, Croissant's eyes immediately lit up. No money needed, just meals included—this was the kind of employee many unscrupulous bosses dreamed of.

Texas looked at Proswan with a puzzled expression after hearing her words and said:

"Is this alright? You guys have jobs on Rhodes Island too, right?"

Proswan wagged his finger at Texas and said:

"Ah, don't worry about that. Amiya has already given instructions on this matter. If any operators are available, they can work shifts at the Merlin Cat Restaurant. Rhodes Island will pay their wages separately. At the same time, Rhodes Island is also willing to pay Yuu to cook for them."

Upon hearing this news, Texas seemed somewhat surprised. Although she wasn't entirely clear on what had happened, she could roughly guess what was going on. Texas looked at Yhaka in her arms and asked:

"Youyou, what do you think?"

Yuhaka looked up at Texas, Exusiai, and Provence, nodded in agreement, and gave Texas a thumbs-up to indicate that there was no problem.

Chapter 154 [The New Shop Assistant, the Iron-Eating Beast, and Frost Leaf]

In the dormitory of Penguin Logistics on Rhodes Island, Yhwach handed the pale purple envelope in his hand to Texas, who was standing in front of him, and said:

"Texas, letter, help Youyou read it."

When Texas saw the letter in Yuhaka's hand, she immediately felt something was off. Meanwhile, Exusiai, looking at the pale purple envelope in Texas's hand, subconsciously remarked:

"Hmm? Is this... a love letter?"

As soon as Exusiai finished speaking, the atmosphere in the Penguin Logistics dormitory immediately turned cold. The person who caused the atmosphere in the Penguin Logistics dormitory to turn cold was Texas, who was sitting on the edge of the bed. Texas's face turned cold after hearing Exusiai's words.

"hiss……"

Exusiai hunched her neck, looking at Texas's current cold expression. How should Exusiai describe Texas right now? Uh... she's probably like a mother wolf whose cubs have been kidnapped.

Of course, Exusiai wouldn't say that out loud, otherwise she would be the one to suffer the consequences.

Sitting on the bed, Texas stared coldly at the envelope in her hand and said:

"Youyou, who gave you this envelope?"

Hearing Texas's words, Yuhaka tilted his head and said to Texas:

"The big tail is for Youyou."

Upon hearing "big tail," Texas and the others immediately thought of the large, furry tail behind Provence's rear end. Texas breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that it wasn't some pedophile eyeing her Yhwach. Texas took out the letter from the envelope, opened it, and saw the neat handwriting that read, "Please be my friend."

Croissant, who was watching from the sidelines, looked at the handwriting on the letter and said:

"Hmm? This handwriting looks like it was written by a girl, right? It seems it wasn't written by a boy to Yuhaka."

Texas breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the handwriting; at least the letter in her hand wasn't a love letter.

Texas was puzzled when she saw the words "Please be my friend" written on the letter. Was it written by a shy person to Yuhaka?

"Um, Youyou, was the person who sent you this letter male or female?"

Upon hearing Texas's question, Yuhaka told Texas that she was a female friend, and Texas and her friends breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Yuhaka's answer.

At least it wasn't boys who deliberately approached their cute Yuhaka.

........................

At 5 a.m. the next morning, Ehaka opened her eyes in Texas's arms. After slowly crawling out of Texas's arms, Ehaka climbed into Exusiai's bed.

Yuhaka peeked out half of his head at Exusiai, who was sleeping with an eye mask on. Because of the ○-shaped natural light bulb on her head, Exusiai always slept with an eye mask on.

Yuhaka quietly climbed onto Exusiai's bed, then plopped down on Exusiai's lap, pushing against her chest and saying:

"Exusiai~ Awaken~"

"Hmm~"

Exusiai felt quite comfortable as Yuhaka pushed against her chest like a massage, and had no intention of getting up at all.

"Pfft! (?′°︿°?)"

"Ow!"

An angry Yuhaka gave Exusiai a slight squeeze, causing her to cry out in pain and immediately sit up. She then removed her eye patch to see which bastard had disturbed her sleep.

"Uh……"

Soon, Exusiai saw Yuhaka clutching her chest, lying on her lap, staring at her with a look that seemed to say "(*??v?)". Exusiai immediately softened and said:
