Chapter 651: BLOOD OF THE YAKUZA
When the two people entered the eatery, their expressions were different. Misaki’s eyes were practically glowing like they had stars. She seemed like she was about to start hopping on the spot like a rabbit.
And Yagi looked positively appalled. He looked from one corner of the joint to the other and wanted to turn back. Although he was the head of the yakuza, he was also a hotel mogul. Therefore, he was the owner of several high-end restaurants.
He never imagined there would be a day he would find himself on plastic chairs, eating food from disposable containers.
Misaki overcame her usual reservations about her uncle due to the excitement of the moment. She reached out her hand and clutched her uncle’s. She had not done such a thing since she was seven or eight years old.
The light touch awoke Yagi from his internal horror. He looked at Misaki with surprise. At the same time, she realised that she had done something unusual. She wanted to take back her hand, but her uncle held her hand and smiled at her.
“Let’s see what we can use to clog our arteries this evening.” He said before walking with her to the counter.
The young man at the counter was a little taken back when Yagi and Misaki stopped in front of him. Yagi looked out of place in the eatery. He was tall and imposing, and his crisp suit looked like it could buy the entire stock of food in the store.
.....
The little girl beside him softened his aura, but it somehow increased his charm. The young man could see the lascivious looks some of his co-workers were giving the godly man. Even he, a straight guy, could not resist the attraction of the man.
“Welcome to KFC. What would you like?” He finally asked after a short moment of silence.
Both Yagi and Misaki were confused. They had never been to this type of place before. It was confusing to have to order food from a counter. The two confused customers looked at each other with confusion before turning back to the serviceperson.
“What do you recommend?” Yagi asked.
Misaki let go of her uncle’s hand and put it on her waist while sighing with exasperation as if she knew more than he. “Uncle, this is not a five-star restaurant. You cannot just ask for the chef’s special.”
Yagi looked down at her with a lifted eyebrow. “Then, what should I do?”
“Pick something from the colourful screen, I guess,” Misaki said.
“But I do not know what is good,” Yagi said.
The young man noticed two more people standing behind his confused customers and decided to help them. If he was not wrong, this person was a big boss. It would not be good to mess with him.
“You can just pick the fried chicken and fries or some chicken nuggets.” He said with a smile.
“What are chicken nuggets?” Misaki asked curiously.
The young man at the counter was speechless. How could a young girl not know about chicken nuggets? And what could he tell the two people about chicken nuggets? Moreover, the queue behind them was getting longer.
Yagi realised at that moment that fast food came with its challenges. “How about you give us a portion of everything?”
“What?” The young man asked.
“A standard portion of everything on your menu,” Yagi said. “There are not a lot of unique items on your menu, so we can just take everything and taste it.”
“Right away.” The young man was a professional after all. “Does that include the drinks?”
“Yes,” Misaki said. “But not the bottled things. Just the stuff made here only.”
Yagi nodded in approval at his niece’s words. The order was taken down, and Yagi took out his wallet and paid for the meal. Misaki was so excited that she almost started hopping on the spot again. She could not believe that she was out with her uncle.
“Your order will be ready in ten minutes. You can track it on the screen.” The young man pointed at the screen with the order numbers.
Yagi and Misaki nodded before walking to sit down at one of the tables. The two settled opposite each other and stayed silent for a while. Immediately, Misaki remembered she was probably in trouble.
And as expected, her uncle had not forgotten.
“Misaki, your teacher told me that you have caused one of your classmates to be isolated. Can you tell me the reason?” He asked.
Yagi knew that there were a lot of things to address with his niece. Emi had covered a wide range of issues going on with her. But the one thing that concerned him was the bullying. He did not want her to take on a path of oppressing others.
His greatest fear since he adopted Misaki was the possibility of her getting the bad habits of the yakuza. He tried to restrain himself by maintaining authority without looking like a tyrant in his home. If he needed to do anything unsavoury, he made sure it was never in a place Misaki would be.
Now, he was worried that she had still picked up the bad habit of oppressing others. Or perhaps, the blood of the yakuza flowed strongly through her. Regardless, he needed to address the bullying issue as soon as possible.
As for the other problems, he could deal with them slowly.
Misaki became sullen. “Are you talking about Arata?”
“Arata?” Yagi had assumed that the story involved one of the girls who followed Misaki.
“Yes, that is his name.” She frowned even more.
“What happened? Why are you bullying him?” Yagi asked.
“I am not bullying him,” Misaki said with a stubborn look in his eyes. “He promised me something, but he did not deliver. So, I stopped talking to him.”
Yagi understood. According to what Emi told him, Misaki was something of a leader in the class. If she decided not to talk to Arata, it was likely that everyone else would do the same. They were probably afraid that Misaki would stop talking to them too.
“You caused him to be isolated from the rest of the class,” Yagi said.
“I did not stop anyone else from being his friend. I was just mad at him because I was looking forward to what he promised. But I have already forgiven him.” Misaki lowered his head.
She meant it.
