Summary

Su Youzi pulls Soga Meinaihui, the restaurant’s shrine-maiden mascot, beside her to stop the onlookers from suspecting that she has been bullying the girl. Because of the shared crimson eyes and resemblance between them, the customers assume they are related. Meinaihui, already frightened after accidentally interrupting Su Youzi and Kujo Iruka in an intimate situation, misinterprets Youzi’s gesture as romantic interest and begins imagining that she must “offer herself” to gain Youzi’s forgiveness.
Kujo Iruka watches the situation with amusement, clearly enjoying Youzi’s embarrassment. To redirect attention, Youzi asks Meinaihui to introduce the restaurant’s signature dishes. Meinaihui’s aunt arrives and explains that the restaurant serves grilled meat rice, grilled meat, and homemade miso soup. She apologizes for Meinaihui’s earlier mistake, but Youzi reassures her that it was only a misunderstanding. Youzi then orders two portions of everything, prompting the aunt to offer the meal free of charge as an apology.
While serving Youzi, Meinaihui remains extremely self-conscious about her revealing shrine-maiden uniform. Remembering that Youzi had seemed to be the more vulnerable person during the earlier incident with Iruka, Meinaihui gains enough confidence to believe she might not need to be so timid. When her clothing shifts and exposes more than intended, Youzi calmly adjusts it for her rather than taking advantage of the situation. Meinaihui is simultaneously relieved and strangely disappointed that Youzi shows no obvious desire to touch her.
Youzi asks Meinaihui to call her “Youzi,” but the girl struggles to choose an appropriate form of address, cycling through overly formal titles such as “Your Highness,” “Big Sister,” and “My lord.” This only worsens Youzi’s embarrassment. Meanwhile, Iruka’s amused gaze begins to carry unmistakable killing intent, suggesting that she is becoming jealous or displeased with the apparent intimacy between Youzi and Meinaihui.
