Chapter 70:

Catering at the Ginkawa mansion

Spice of Life


The days and weeks flew by, and before everyone knew it, the Olympics were over.

"And I'm back with a MASSIVE appetite for crepes," Madoka declared as she entered the restaurant.

"We missed having you. So how was Rio?" Rika asked.

"Eh, it was fun. I ended up getting kidnapped everyday by various gangs and goons, but I escaped."

"Though you sound a little bummed."

"I mean, I didn't get a gold medal, nor did I get to see Tetsuka-Nee-chan," Madoka cried.

"Tetsuka-Nee-chan?"

"She's my other older sister though the twins loathe her very existence so she left the mansion and began traveling. OH! Speaking of which, Momma wanted you guys to cater at the mansion tomorrow."

"How large is her event?"

"She said it's fairly large, but it wouldn't require all the staff to work there."

"Sounds good. Then the catering gig is on. I'll contact your mother for more details."

                                                                         ...

Rika, Mimi, Matcha, and Zuina gaped as they stood before the drawbridge to the Ginkawa mansion.

"M- Mansion!? THAT'S A WHOLE FUCKING ISLAND CITY!" Rika shouted in shock.

The Ginkawa "Mansion" was more so a large island city situated in the Tokyo bay. The guest area Rika and co arrived at for the catering gig, felt like a 5 star hotel.

"YAY! Crepe catering!" Madoka cheered as she slid down the stair rail followed shortly by Harumi.

Both were clad in formal attire as they leapt from the stair rail and landed perfectly before the group.

"Impressive," Rika clapped.

"I do that nearly every day. Now allow me to give you a tour," Harumi smiled.

                                                                                     ...

The four struggled not to be overwhelmed as they toured the mansion.

"I hate to spring this on you so suddenly, but we'll be formally announcing that you're from the branch family, Mimi," Harumi stated.

"No worries. Though, uh, could I check out the bowling alley afterwards?" Mimi asked.

"Sure, feel free to spend the night too. That goes for the rest of you too."

The other three nodded nervously as the tour continued.

                                                                                ...

Zuina's jaw dropped as she stared at the vast farm before her.

"You fit a whole farm in here?" Zuina nervously asked.

"That we did. The cow's also produce the finest milk in the world. We call it Ginkawa milk," Harumi proudly smiled.

"D- Does my sister know about this?"

"Yes, but we don't sell any of our produce. It remains exclusive to the mansion."

"Well, that's good. I assume it's to be self sufficient?"

"Correct. Since we're one of the richest families in the world, we naturally have many enemies. Being self sufficient and growing our own produce here is one of the precautions we took to ensure our survival."

"You know the game Morioh's mask? Well these cows are just like the cows from that game. They make super milk," Madoka proudly huffed.

"Wait, didn't those cows get abducted by aliens if you didn't save them?" Rika asked.

"Oh no need to worry about that, Gnorville has been raising the cows here for nearly 20 years," Harumi smiled as an alien wearing a crescent moon hat arrived to milk the cows.

"You guys have real aliens working here?" Rika nervously asked.

"Yep. Gnorville and his team also monitor the satellites we got around earth and on the moon. Why it's thanks to his team that the clown's mountain of shit was destroyed back when Makihara arrived in America."

                                                                                ...

In Sacramento, a Makihara bordering on insanity let out a massive sneeze, spewing his snot all over the curly fries he was about to serve.

"I know Americans aren't the most sanitary of eaters, but we're not gonna eat snot fries no matter how much we joke about fast food servers wiping their snot in the food," Barney Obaba scowled.

"You sure have a lot of free time Mr. President," Makihara scowled.

"Hey, I'm a lame duck."

                                                                              ...

Back at the mansion, the dinner and party went off without a hitch. The girls were then invited to soak in the mansion's hot springs.

"Don't worry, I made sure my perverted nephew, Yuki was securely restrained so that you can soak without worry," Harumi smiled.

The four girls from Ryokoma then enjoyed a peaceful soak and a nice bottle of Ginkawa milk when they got out.

"Wow, I think I felt my boobs get bigger," Mimi blissfully gawked.

"Best milk I ever had," Rika cooed.

"Don't get used to the taste too much. We'll be back to consuming good ole regular milk by tomorrow," Zuina grumbled.

"Where'd Matcha go?"

"Saw her going to speak with Harumi."

                                                                              ...

Matcha stood nervously before Harumi.

"You want to ask me something?" Harumi asked.

"When you first came to the restaurant, you were going to say something to me, but decided not to. What was it?" Matcha asked.

"I heard about what happened to your mother and didn't want to ruin the mood by bringing it up. I also didn't want to start bashing your corrupt older sister while you were at a low."

"Yeah, Purin is really corrupt. Though I guess there's someone more corrupt than her considering she got reinstated AND promoted despite what she did."

"And that's the odd part. On who's authority?"

"Yumeko claimed it was on hers."

"The superintendent general's daughter? Even then, her alone wouldn't be able to vouch for Purin."

"Zuina actually mentioned something when she went by to deliver a cake. Apparently, the station was acting as though my mother had been the one that got violent and injured Purin."

"And that's the odd part. Why?"

"Well Yumeko likely put in bad word and that chief likely parroted it. Ookuma's also got an allies in the police too."

"You're referring to Chief Sakaguro and Senior Commissioner Nakayama, yes? Well Nakayama's always been an Ookuma fanatic ever since she got elected, but Sakaguro you say?"

"Itsuki also mentioned she was with Yumeko, Fujiko, and Makoto when they kidnapped her."

"The police were the ones that did all that to Itsuki!? Seems I'll have to dig deeper into this. I apologize for not addressing this sooner and causing you anxiety."

"It's fine. I figured that was probably what you were going to mention. I just hope my mother can get released from prison. Mochi told me she's been kept in maximum security ever since she was arrested."

                                                                             ...

In the maximum security holding area, Mocha glared at the figure before her.

"So this was all your idea. Well you can bet your ass I'm gonna make a fuss when I get out of here," Mocha glared as Yoriko put her gag back in.

"I told you all that because you're NEVER going to get out. We've even got some new "evidence" to use against you. Though perhaps we might use some of it to take care of another little problem. One of my colleagues has sent word of a nuisance we'll need to deal with," Yoriko sneered as she gazed at a message on her phone from Rebelle.

In another section of the police station, Mutsumi leaned on her desk in frustration.

"No slacking, get your ass up," Makoto growled as she stormed by.

Now that Himawari had been promoted, Makoto had been tapped to fill the superintendent's spot. As such, she now dressed slightly more professionally in a black leather jacket, pants, and heeled boots. She still smoked, but had now moved on to commercial cigarettes publicly, while still continuing to smoke the cult's cigarettes in secret.

"Of course all the corrupt ones get promoted after they send Reika abroad. Ugh, I want to arrest them, but I'm not smart enough to build up a good case, nor outwit them like Reika can. Please get back asap," Mutsumi agonized in her mind.

                                                                             ...

The next day, the Ryokoma girls were driven back to the restaurant, along with Madoka, in a black sedan.

"So you like our crepes better than the ones the servants make you at the mansion?" Rika asked.

"You bet. There's just something magical about the way you make em. Even when they replicate the recipe down to the secret spice, yours always taste better," Madoka stated.

"Must be our ingredients then," Zuina proudly huffed.

"Heh, good thing everyplace we get our crepe ingredients from are 100% with us. Though I think the secret lies in the fact that it's all made in the warm, cozy restaurant known as Ryokoma," Rika grinned.
