Katsura Villa 8:30 pm
"With introductions out of the way, I`ll like to start with my speech, first I`d like to thank everyone for coming out tonight as with all your help, we have had another successful year with your help and with that we have plans to expand our business to other parts of the world and we hope that we`ll still have your support going forward. The speech went on for another 20 minutes as Manami was explaining business statistics on their success
"Alright that`s enough of that" Manami said as she closed out her speech, "since it`s Friday night, the party doesn`t stop, so party to your heart`s content," Manami said as she left the stage and the party resumed
"I guess break time is over," Makoto thought as he put on his apron, but he got a beep from his walkie talkie attached to his hip as he was given it to be notified if the VIP guests wanted to be served the Harem", "yes what is it?" Makoto asked through the walkie talkie
"Listen I`ve got some VIP guests who are hungry, so I need 9 orders of the Harem, three orders of shrimp pasta and 2 orders of yakisoba to the VIP room, Manami said through the walkie talkie
"Will do, I`ll bring it once it`s done, wait where`s the VIP room?" Makoto asked
"The VIP room is located out of the party area, exit the door to your right take a left in the first split then walk down 5 doors down and take the next right you see and there should be a door that says VIP room, clear?" Manami asked
"I got it, I`ll bring it there," Makoto said as he fired up the stove
12 Minutes Later
"Finally finished," Makoto thought as he loaded the cart up with all the orders", "now I gotta bring to them," Makoto said as pushed the cart out the door, "damn this place is huge, now which direction did Ms. Katsura tell me to go to" Makoto thought as he was lost, "shit I can`t afford to get lost, the guest wants their food" he added as while moving quickly in panic, he bumped into someone
"Oh my, I`m so sorry, please forgive me, are you hurt?," Makoto asked the person
"No, it`s quite fine, Makoto-Kun?" replied the person who turned out to be Kotonoha who was wearing a red dress, but she was with a young girl
"Kotonoha?!, what are you doing here?" Makoto asked seeming shocked
"Well, this is one of my family`s houses, what brings you here?" Kotonoha asked
"Well the truth is, Ms. Manami asked me to come here to work as a chef for tonight`s party" Makoto replied
My mother asked you to work at this party?" Kotonoha asked a bit shocked
"Mother?!, so this whole time, the inspector of my workplace was your mother?" Makoto replied flabbergasted
"Yes, my mother works as an inspector, she makes sure everything runs smoothly" Kotonoha explained, but she was cut off by the other girl
"Are you my big sister`s boyfriend?" the girl asked
"Kokoro!, don`t ask that," Kotonoha said as she tried to stop Kokoro
"So you two are a couple, let`s have fun together big brother," Kokoro said as she hugged Makoto
"Big brother?!, aren`t we getting too ahead," Makoto thought
"Kokoro, that`s enough," Kotonoha said as she pulled her off of Makoto
"Anyways, I'm a bit lost, where is the way to the VIP room?" Makoto asked
"Oh, that room I can take you there," Kotonoha said
"Thank goodness, I thought I was never gonna find that place, lead the way," Makoto said as he pushed the cart of food not noticing that Sekai and Youko were spying on them
"So that`s the girl huh?" Youko said, "She`s got a nice body, but that doesn`t always tell the story," Youko thought
"Mom, come on, let`s just join the party" Sekai pleaded
"No, not until Makoto becomes my son in law, I won`t stop until I`ve done it, soon you`ll have a nice boyfriend Sekai," Youko said
"I don`t know, you sure you don`t just want him to yourself," Sekai thought as she shook her head
VIP Room
"I have an order for the VIP guests," Makoto said as he entered the room with the cart
"Ahh yes finally, said a gentleman as Makoto presented the guests with their food
"Please enjoy," Makoto said as he finished putting the food down
"Wow this is great, this certainly lives up to the hype," said a lady
"I`ll say, I love the spice to it, it`s better than what some of my elite chefs would cook, did you cook this young man?" asked a gentleman in a purple suit
"Yes I did" Makoto replied back
"Wow, it seems that Lady Katsura has a good eye when it comes to finding chefs," said a gentleman in a black suit
"That was great, have you considered going to culinary school and becoming a chef?" asked an older gentleman in a white suit
"No, I`m not quite sure what my future looks like" Makoto responded
"Well kid, you should consider it, there`s a path for you in the culinary field for someone as talented as you," said an older lady with a red dress
"Ahh, that was delicious, here kid a tip from all of us for providing us with a delicious meal," said the gentleman in the black suit as each guest put several bills on the cart as a tip
"Are you sure?, this is quite a lot of money" Makoto replied anxiously
"Don`t sweat it, kid, we`re rich so we can tip people a good amount?" said the gentleman as all the guest filed out of the room and back into the party area
"Let`s see, they gave me 120,000 yen in tips, that`s more than what Lady Katsura is paying me," Makoto thought as he put the money away
"Damn kid, at this rate, you might become someone`s sugar daddy," Eros said with a smirk
"All right now, I`m not that unfaithful" Makoto replied which at that moment Manami walked in clapping her hands
"Excellent work Makoto-Kun, I knew you would be the right person to serve the VIP guests," Manami said as she praised him for her work
"Mother, Makoto-Kun has been working under you this whole time?" Kotonoha asked
"Well yes, is there a problem Kotonoha?" Manami asked
"Well the truth is, Makoto-Kun is my boyfriend," Kotonoha said anxiously
"What?!, Makoto-Kun is this true?" Manami asked
"Yes it`s true, Kotonoha is my girlfriend and we been dating for a while" Makoto explained
"Oh if that`s so, why didn`t you tell me?" Manami asked
"Well, the truth is, I didn`t know that you were Kotonoha`s mother" Makoto replied
"Well if that`s the case, we should have a talk regarding this, Kokoro can you run along for a bit, I need to have a talk with Makoto and Kotonoha in private" Manami said to Kokoro
"Alright mom, good luck big sis," Kokoro said as she left them
"Let`s have a seat then, I'm sure you`re both uncomfortable just standing up," Manami said as they sat down
"Alright, since your dating my daughter, I need to know the situation with your family," Manami said
"Mother, don`t you think it`s quite rude to ask something like that" Kotonoha said
"I think as a mother, it`s important to know the important details of your boyfriend aka one of my chefs," Manami said
"Alright I`ll answer, I currently live with only my mother, who works as a nurse as she divorced my father and my younger sister lives with my father" Makoto explained
"I see, so your family situation isn`t the best, but you still work this hard, all right, you get my approval," Manami said
"Really, thank you very much," Makoto said but was stopped when Manami put her hand up
"Hold on, I`m not finished yet since you are dating my daughter, I expect you to be faithful and loyal and should you try to hurt or cheat on her, I`ll make you regret ever trying, am I clear?" Manami asked in a serious tone
"Yes Ma`am, I swear to stay by Kotonoha`s side throughout our relationship" Makoto replied as she bowed down, "wow, she can be scary at times," he thought
"Alright that`s good then, I think we should get back to the party, Makoto-Kun, I`d like you to go back to your post to serve any guests who may be hungry and Kotonoha, come with me, we`ve got some business to attend to" Manami explained
"Will do Lady Katsura, please excuse me," Makoto said as he bowed and left the room, but when he left the room he felt something strange
"What`s this?, why do I have a sudden urge to follow that scent," Makoto thought as he was being controlled by the aphrodisiac that had been set up
"Shit, this isn`t good, there`s no telling what the aphrodisiac will push him to do should it take absolute control of him," Eros thought as he watched Makoto walk like a zombie who just saw a human being
"Hey, Makoto!" Taisuke said as he saw Makoto, but noticed that he was acting weird, "whoa, what the fuck is going on with him? and what`s that scent? Taisuke thought for a second, but then it hit him, "wait a second, the thing luring him in is an aphrodisiac, it`s designed to seduce both male and female to the opposite gender, I`ve read about this since I was considering using it myself, but with that, who could be responsible for this Kotonoha?, Sekai? or even Otome or the trio, who knows, I gotta find out" Taisuke thought as he followed Makoto behind a wall
"Yes, a bit closer, this is gonna work," Youko said as she looked through the door where the aphrodisiac was coming from
"Makoto, fight it, kid don`t let it control you" Eros yelled as he tried to get Makoto to snap out of it
