The Top 3 Beauties in My School Are All My Subordinates at My Part-time Job～ You Guys Are Out of My League, So Stop Relying on a Mediocre Guy
Lunchtime is all about food, drinks, and for some people, sweets.
The kitchen is a battlefield because one customer can place multiple orders.
And in our case, my father is almost the only warrior on that battlefield.
He is the only one who can cook and make coffee.
And today we have three times as many customers as usual.
He can’t cook on time at all.
“Is there anyone who can help me with the cooking? I’ve already prepared the lunch set, so I’ll do it. I’ll teach you how to make pasta and pilaf, but I want you to make light meals.”
My father, sweating from the kitchen, looked at me, begging for help.
But unfortunately, I can’t cook at all.
Damn it, I should have practiced my cooking skills.
But even if I regret it now, it won’t make the dish any better.
No…..there are three girls here today. Can any one of them be a good cook?
I thought so and looked around at the top three beauties.
—My eyes met with Kamigasaki.
Yes, that’s right. She was the one who had done the job the best so far.
If anyone could cook properly, it was the dexterous Kamigasaki.
But this cool beauty was very hard on me, and I wondered if she would listen to what I had to say.
“What?”
Oh shit. I just stared at her.
“No, you see…..”
I couldn’t say anything back to the beautiful woman who was staring at me coldly.
But wait a second. Is this the time to be saying that?
I’m making the customers irritated by being late in serving the food.
I can’t cook for them, so I have no choice but to ask those who can to do it for me.
Be brave, Akizuki Yuuhi.
“You know what, Kamigasaki. Help my father at the kitchen…….”
“No, I don’t want to.”
Before I could finish, she rejected me out of the blue.
It’s too soon, isn’t it?
“Help my father in the kitchen…..”
“I can’t.”
Rejected again.
Why? You don’t want to cooperate with him that much?
“Erm…..please, Kamigasaki.”
“Why are you asking me?””
Certainly, it is natural to be suspicious as to why I’m only asking her when Hamakaze san and Kyono san are also there.
But if I were to say, “Kamigasaki seems like the best cook,” the other two would be upset, so I can’t say it clearly.
“Why is that?”
“Don’t answer a question with a question.”
“No, it’s not like that. Anyway, I wanted to ask Kamigasaki for help.”
“Eh ….? Does that mean Akizuki wants to try the food I make?”
“No, I never said that.”
“I see”
Damn it ! I suddenly looked away.
Should I have said, “That’s right.” even if it was a lie?
Kamigasaki already seemed to be in a bad mood even on normal days, but now it felt like she had gotten even worse.
Ah, all is not well, is it?
If you can’t get your staff to follow instructions, you’re not fit to be a manager.
“Um…..Akizuki san.”
“Eh?”
Kyono san peeks at me with concern as I hold my head in my hands.
“If you like, I can help you in the kitchen.”
—A goddess descended.
Those words popped into my head.
And the person smiling before my eyes was a beautiful girl with pure black hair. A real goddess.
“Are you sure, Miya chan?”
Hamakaze san was worried.
“Hey Miyabi. I feel bad that you have to take the blame because I refused.”
“No problem. I like cooking a lot, even though I’m like this.”
I wonder if she can handle it.
“Really?”
“Yes. Leave it to me.”
I was relieved by her confidence.
She really looked like a goddess. Kyono san is the best.
“Thank you !”
My father’s voice echoed from behind me.
“Then get in the kitchen.”
“Yes.”
“Thank you, Kyono san.”
I thanked her too.
“No problem. If Akizuki san is happy, then I’m glad.”
“Eh? Me?”
“Oh, no, it’s….erm….your father….I mean, i-it’s the owner.”
“Ah, I see. That’s right ! That seems to be the case going by the way we’ve been talking. Whoa, I misunderstood !”
“Oh no no, that’s not the case. I’m just happy that Akizuki san…..I mean, Y-Y-Yuuhi san is pleased too.”
“T-thank you.”
“Y-y-y-y-you’re welcome.”
The neat and beautiful girl who stuttered so badly went into the kitchen with her face bright red.
By the way, Kyono san is a really nice person.
She’s trying so hard to follow through so she doesn’t hurt me.
You don’t have to be so careful.
Since Kyono san entered the kitchen, the serving of food has noticeably quickened.
My father gives her simple instructions, and she understands and helps him cook quickly.
She is very quick. I think she is much better suited for the kitchen than for serving customers.
Her facial expression is also very lively.

After the lunch service was over, the staff settled down for a while.
“Kyono san is amazing.”
“Not really.”
“No, no, no, it’s better than my father’s cooking.”
“Shut up !”
My father yelled at me.
But my father also praises Kyono san ‘s cooking, saying her cooking is really great.
“I’d like to try her cooking once.”
I didn’t mean it deeply, but I did mumble it without thinking.
As the manager, I’m still interested in dishes that look delicious.
If the food is really delicious, there is a way to ask Kyono san to join the main kitchen.
“You….really think so?”
Huh? Kyono san is bright red and holding her face with both hands.
“A-are you okay? Did I say something rude? I-I’m sorry.”
“T- that’s not it. I’m fine.”
I don’t know why the atmosphere had turned out like this.
But, well. I’m glad that I could get through the turbulent lunch time without any problems.
