Even Though I Have Become A God, I Still Want To Run My Restaurant!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

{POV: MC}

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Shortly after I finished talking with Celia nee-san and Annie-san, the hosts of today's event, Saya, finally got on stage. She wears a pink maid outfit that looked really good on her, as expected of my taste. And Kaya also went up on stage... wait a minute, why did she go up too?!

"Hello, Good morning everyone!" Saya shouted out while holding a mic.

...!!!

Hearing Saya's greeting, all of the audience looked at the stage and realized that the event that they have been anticipated was about to start.

"Welcome to the sweet carrot restaurant, I am Saya, and one of the employees of this restaurant will be the host for today's event!" (Saya)

"Don't forget me, I am Kaya. I am also and employee the host here." (Kaya)

"Thanks for partnering with me, Kaya. It would feel lonely without you." (Saya)

"Don't worry, we are twin, we does thing together." (Kaya)

...

Kaya also becomes a host there with Saya, huh? I thought Kaya supposed to deliver all the free foods supply from the kitchen.

The girls really hide a lot things from me huh?

...

...

Wait a minute, if they were both on the stage then we will seriously lack the manpower to operate this event! 

System, call my sister! I need to talk with her asap!

["About that, it seems both Kuroba and Kobayashi family send their maid and security here to help with the manpower."] The system replied.

Wait, I understand about Kobayashi, but Kuroba too? The siblings never told me. Why?

["Because they also want to participate in this event. And the girls also told them to hide it from you."]

After hearing what the system said, I look around and truly... I find Oga with Sakura sitting on one of the tables with an enthusiast look in their eyes.

*Sigh*

I really should predict that this could happen. Oh well, at least they did do something about manpower, just report to me if their maid does not do their job, system.

["Roger that, Jin-sama."]

...

"Alright, since we don't have much time to waste, let's get started!" (Saya)

"But Saya, We need to introduce the judge first." (Kaya)

"Ah, you are right, Kaya! Then let's meet our first judge! It is one of the most well known customer in this restaurant!"

"Ah, I can guess who is it, Saya."

"Of course you can, After all it's Kobayashi Ojii-san!" Saya announced loudly.

...

At the same time Saya announced the first judge name, An old man with white hair with a friendly smile in an expensive tuxedo came out of the kitchen door. Everyone from this restaurant is very familiar with this old man because he is always the first customer every day we opened this restaurant.

He walked over to the table in front of the stage (judge table) waving his hand at the audience, who seemed to be cheering him on as well. 

Old man Kobayashi as a judge for this event is a good choice, as expected of my sister.

...

"It's Kobayashi Ojii-san!" Vera who also watched beside me seems also surprised.

"You didn't know about this, Vera-chan?" I asked her curiously

Vera shook her head and replied, "No. Rin-chan said as a participant, I am not allowed to know the content of the event! I just know that I will be paired with you, and stop you from knowing the event detail too!"

"Ah. I see... So, I am not alone." I nodded in understanding.

It seems my sister really planned this thoroughly. They didn't even let Vera know, and despite that, she also agreed to keep me out with her.

As expected of airhead Vera.

...

"Since we have announced the first judge, let's introduce the second judge." (Saya)

"But isn't it a bit too fast? We don't even introduce our first judge properly." (Kaya)

"It does not need! Besides, his identity should be a secret, and let's pretend that he is just a weak old man! Right, Kobayashi Ojii-san?" (Saya)

Old man Kobayashi who was just sitting in his chair cheerfully replied, "Hahahaha! I am not sure about that!"

"Just be careful with Raika after this event, Saya." (Kaya)

...Well, I can tell that Raika might be watching from the kitchen right now. Knowing how Raika behaves when it's about her grandfather, Saya really screwed up this time 

Saya who hears her sister comment quickly sweats a lot but then she continues to announce, "Errr.... Let's introduce the second judge, a brute fighter from the west, Susanoo-san!" (Kaya)

As before, after I announced the next jury, the kitchen door opened again and this time a middle-aged man in half-naked clothes came out of it... just like the first time I met him... the god of sea and storm, Susanoo.

Looking at the second judge, I didn't expect my employees to be able to recruit local gods as one of the event judges!

"Hahahaha! so many people come here unlike last time I was here!" Susanoo said as he looked around him.

Unlike Old man Kobayashi, He just walked in front of the stage without waving his hand at the audience wearing a big proud smile on his face, but even so, the audience also cheered at him as well.

I wonder what kind of deal the girls did behind me to make a literal god agree to become a judge in this event? 

...

"And to not waste time, lastly, another old man for the last judge! He is also our biggest sponsor and also the one who prepared the reward for this event!"

""Ichi-san!!"" Saya and Kaya loudly announced at the same time.

(A/N: One mean Ichi in Japanese)

Wearing a black tuxedo, and red necktie, he came out of the kitchen room with a sparkling effect unlike the other judge. That stinky old man looks like an aristocrat from another world! 

I thought earlier when the old man would come here but I didn't expect him to become one of the judges! 

How do the girls manage to get that old man?!

"He got no surname, but I believe he must come from a very strong family!" (Audience A)

"I can feel the majestic aura!" (Audience B)

"I feel refreshed just by looking at him!" (Audience C)

Unlike the previous two judges, He walked to the judge's table slowly in style, giving the audience a thumbs up and showing off his white teeth without any embarrassment. Didn't he realize that his appearance was not that of a young man, but an old man?!

...Oii, I feel like he just abused his godly aura now. 

["In his defense, It is his real identity."] The system retorted.

 I feel he is just like flexing though.

...

"Speaking of reward, What is it, Saya?" Kaya beside her asked curiously.

Saya enthusiastically answered, "The reward is anything! Like, if the winner wishes for a new released sports car, our sponsor was able to give that!"

...!!!

"Wow!"

"Amazing!"

"Are you serious? They must be got a very good sponsor!"

"Damn it, If I know, I would bring my mother with me to this event!"

...

Hearing the audience comment, I can't help but snort. I mean, a literal true god as your sponsor of the event. Heck, even if you told that old man to revive dead people, I believe he can do it!

Also, that last comment was dangerous oii!

...

"I see, then what is the requirement for winning, Saya?" (Kaya)

"How to win is simple! Each judge will give out 1 to 10 scores for each event and at the end of the event, the couple with the biggest score will win!" (Saya)

Hmmm, pretty simple rules and understandable. Though, I had a feeling stinky old man might give us an unfair score to us.

...

Saya then pointed her finger and continue said, "Also, we want to announce that no one could order food until the end of the event! However, we have prepared free desserts, the menu is banana splits and iced tea. Completely free!"

"Unn. Everyone could take the free food at the table that has been specially prepared for it." Kaya followed.

""Enjoy the feast!"" Both Saya and Kaya said at the same time.

""Ohhhh!!""

So that's their actual plan to allow me to participate without concern about customers?! No wonder they lied to me if the truth is like this, I would never agree if I know it would become like this! We are running a business here, after all.

Well... Since it's already happened, nothing I could do.

Especially when I also one of the participant in here.

After hearing that, the audience rushed toward the pointed table to get the share on their own seems afraid of not getting any share. The participant was not allowed to take the freebies though, so all of us just stand here watching the audience swarming the tables.

Hmm... Since no one can order, what are my sister and Raika doing in the kitchen? 

["They are making the free dessert, of course, keep replenishing it when the customer takes it for free."]

Where is the budget come from?

["Errr... you can ask your sister on your own for that question, Jin-sama."]

I have a bad feeling about that... But whatever. I still believe in my sister's financial management.

["I hope you are prepared Jin-sama."]

What do you mean by prepared? It sounds ominous oi!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

...

After making sure the audience has calmed down and had their share of a free dessert, Saya and Kaya continued with their hosting of the event.

"Everyone! Since everything has been explained..." (Kaya)

"Let's start the first event, which is called.. (Saya)

""Feed your partner!"" 

...!!!

Hearing the first event name, the name itself is already self-explanatory. I guess the first event requires to couple to feed their partner.

"Eh, but the participants... You don't want to introduce them, Saya?" (Kaya)

"I mean, the one who knows the identity of the participants, Vera-chan also becomes a participant, so we might as well go ahead!" (Saya)

Kaya nodded at what her twin said, and Saya continue said, "But then the participant is so unique, how I should introduce them, Kaya?"

"Unn. Blame Vera-chan for that. She is doing too good for finding unique participants." Kaya shrugged.

""Hahahaha!""

The audience laughs hear their conversation and understand what they just said. Meanwhile, Vera is pouting beside me, probably thinking that she does nothing wrong as she just did her job.

Weirdly enough, no one really questioned the participant of the event so far?! I bet that stinky old man did something about this.

"Anyway, the rules of the first event are simple! We have one big chocolate cake for every couple at each table. The couple must be fed to each other within the time limit and the score is based on how romantic the couple feeds to each other!" (Saya)

""OHHH!!""

After Saya announced that, a group of maids suddenly came out of the kitchen, each of them bringing out a big 50 cm chocolate cake with a cherry on top. The security also came to help and arranged the table neatly while the maid put the cake on each table.

...

"This is going to be interesting." (Kobayashi)

"I agree! Although I might want to have the cake for myself! I know the chef is a really good chef here, Hahahaha!" (Susanoo)

"Yep. I agree, the chef is really good at doing his job." (One)

...It was sarcasm from him, isn't it? I know I am bad at doing my godly job!

["Pfft."]

...

After seeing that all the cakes had been placed on the existing tables, Saya held her host mic and continued the instructions, "Since the cake is ready. Lovely couples, please pick your tables!"

"As expected, there would be no Valentine without chocolate." Kaya commented.

Hearing Saya's instruction, all of the participants including both me and Vera pick the table closest to us, which lucky enough, we got the number 1 table.

"Jin-kun! We can do this!" Vera said with high spirit, probably because of the cakes in front of her.

"Unn! Let's do this, Vera-chan!" I nodded confidently.

Even though I have never fed Vera before, I did it plenty with my sister when she was sick so I got experience with this.

["I don't think that could be counted as the same experience."] The system commented.

My sister is a girl, so it should be counted, Oii.

["Nope."]

...

I ignored what the system said in my mind to focus on the first event. Vera and I took the fork in front of us, ready to start this feeding event. Another participant also does the same, except some participants seem to have difficulty... Like the pair of cats who obviously can't handle the damn fork. They even directly sit on top of the table directly, oii.

I admit they were at least smart to understand the instruction but... Seriously, why were Raika and Vera did not eliminate those cats from becoming a participant? 

Anyway, the point was to show how romantically you are when you feed your partner, so the key should be... Expression. I need to feed Vera sincerely, and she also needs to do the same.

Shouldn't be hard to do, in theory, that's it.

But right now, just imagine Vera ate the cake I feed with my hand... I feel so nervous and embarrassed.

...

"Seems all the participants already sit at their table." (Saya)

"Should we start, Saya?" (Kaya)

"Yes! The time is 10 minutes." (Saya)

""Let's the competition begin!""

...!!!

Although I have made my mind earlier to do this, the moment I took the slice of cake and saw Vera's face, I can't help but get embarrassed! 

I can't even move my hand, my heart beating loudly and my breath becoming erratic due to nervousness.

I still have a big crush on her, and I just realize it has become even stronger.

I know the fact, that Vera become a less prankster for my sake, she clearly has affection for me in order to not get hated.

...

"Ohh, it seems participants in table number 3, a couple in military uniforms already started and they were looks good! They are feeding at each other at the same high speed consistently! As expected from the military!" (Saya)

...

"I can tell how impeccable their timing, trusting each other as if it is natural for them to do this." (Old man Kobayashi)

"I like this couple. Like, hard blooded warrior!!" (Susanoo)

"Also the timing of opening their mouth, chew the cake, and repeat without choking. They are going to win this match!" (One)

...

Damn it, another couple seems already move, but I haven't moved my hand! Thankfully, it seems I am not alone as I could tell Vera is in the same state as myself. 

We are perfectly synchronized!

["In a bad way, pffft."]

Shut up! We are just trying here! Stop disturbing me, system.

["Alright... this is entertaining to watch anyway."]

...

"Oooh!! Table Number 7 also looks amazing, the Kuroba siblings started strong as the male seems used to feeding his sister with confidence, and her sister feeds her brother shyly, creating a unique contrast between the couple!" (Saya)

"As expected of hard blooded siscon." (Kaya)

...!!!

Hearing Saya's comment, I look toward table number 7, and my cousin, Oga, is doing just fine at this event, which I think is unacceptable. I refuse to do worse than that siscon cousin... and it seems Vera also has the same opinion as me.

...

"Jin-kun! We must not lose to Sakura-chan!"

"Alright! Here we go."

...

It seems both me and Vera have the same opinion so I take a deep breath and this time, move my arm properly.

I slowly put it into her mouth with a fork in my hand while I also open my mouth... and Vera also she does the same. I can see that Vera is truly getting embarrassed as her face is so red as a tomato.

And I could tell that I also feel the same thing. 

This is really embarrassing!

"Contestant in table number 1, our owner and our inviter Vera-chan, finally started their action! Though, Both of them seem to waste their time as they are moving too slow." Saya commented at us.

"They are just virgins." Kaya followed.

"Well, the owner has no guts to touch anyone yet, you are right about that." Saya added.

Hearing the twin's comment, I can't help but want to punish them after this event! Although I have been used to their antics of slandering me a lot, this is on public event, oii!

...

"Ah, adolescence. But I feel Jin-kun does not enough effort." (Kobayashi)

"They look so clumsy... even the kid's couple seems to do much better than them." (Susanoo)

"Indeed, they didn't trust each other yet. I can't give a big score to them" (One)

...

After also hearing the judge's opinion, I really want to prove that they are wrong, but my body just betrayed me... Even after several times of feeding each other, both me and Vera were still embarrassed and can't get used to each other eyes.

I keep telling myself that I shouldn't think too much about it, but getting fed by your crush is truly embarrassing.

["I guess you are still a virgin teenager, in the end, Jin-sama."]

What do you mean still? I am a teenager!

["Pffft."]

...

"TIME OUT!!"

...!!!

In the end, we manage to consume the cake before time out but I could say we are really losing this round. Compared to other couples who are professional in this kind of activity, we, the amateur is completely outclassed.

It's just the first round, and I am already mentally exhausted... I wonder if I could survive until the end?

...

"Congratulation, almost everyone manages to pass the first round!"

"There is only 1 contestant that has difficulty, which is a contestant from table number 5, Mr.Nyan and Mrs.Nyan but other else seems to do just fine."

"Well, this event is spell doom for both of them, as their physical form just did not support well."

I mean, they are literally pair of a white cats, could a cat hold a fork and ate a cake in the first place?

...

"Alright, the judge has input their score with our provided tablet, let's see the result of the first event!"

=====

The score :

======

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Intermission: Can you tell me why that stinky old man become a judge in this event?]

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

(MC): "As the title of this intermission said, Can you tell me why that stinky old man become a judge in this event?"

(System): ["Because Original One offered himself to do so."]

(MC): "He did? I thought he was like very busy... considering his own position."

(System): ["Busy? He is probably the freest god in the entire multiverse."]

(MC): "I see... then, why he is offered himself? I don't believe the girls have something that the old man wants to have."

(System): ["Because he wanted to. No one could prevent Original One to do something anyway, knowing his position."]

(MC): "As expected of stinky old man, the same reason why he suddenly made me a god."

(System): ["Don't be mad, Jin-sama. In fact, believe me, Original One really helps a lot with your event, Jin-sama."]

(MC): "Aside from reward, what he does help? Getting bias and give a fucking cat more score than us?"

(System): ["For example, you might not realize but the space around the restaurant itself won't be able to accommodate hundred people without made it feel cramped so the Original One made changed on the main area space. He also made everyone including yourself perception think it is usually this big."]

(MC): "I see. No wonder I don't find it weird. Normally, our restaurant was too small to have hundreds of people, even if I count the garden area."

(System): ["That's your careless, Jin-sama. Your idea is just 'Let's DO BIG EVENT' even though you had no idea how difficult it is."]

(MC): "I am reflecting okay? Although, I feel that feels like an excuse to fill a sudden plothole."

(System): ["Pffft... A plothole isn't a hole when it was made on purpose."]

(MC): "For non-canon like this intermission?"

(System): ["...We shouldn't discussing something like 4th wall breaking."]

(MC): "But that was the truth, isn't it?"

(System): ["...I won't elaborate furthermore, Jin-sama. We really should not talk about this."]

(MC): "Oii, you are running away? Finally, at once I beat your system! Hahaha!"
