Campione Scumbag in Mash-up Anime-Chapter 122: Wagnaria
Chapter 122 - Wagnaria
After ending the call with Yotsuba, Ren immediately sped off in his Bentley towards a rather popular family restaurant called Wagnaria.
As soon as he opened the door and stepped inside, the aroma of various dishes immediately greeted him. The restaurant was quite lively but still felt warm and unpretentious.
A petite waitress with a cheerful smile welcomed his arrival. Despite her small stature, Ren noticed that her chest size seemed more ample than most women he knew. A name tag pinned to her chest read: Taneshima Popura.
"Welcome to Wagnaria! Good day! How may I help you?" Popura greeted him with a lively and energetic voice.
"I'm meeting someone." Ren replied briefly, while his gaze swept around the restaurant, searching for a familiar figure.
After a moment, his eyes caught a hand waving from one of the tables in the corner of the room.
"Rokuhara-san! Over here!" The cheerful voice called out.
Ren approached the table and sat down opposite his sister-in-law, Uesugi Yotsuba.
Yotsuba's current appearance was quite different from her usual.
Her short orange hair was neatly styled with a white ribbon resembling rabbit ears adorning her head. A small braid decorated the side of her hair, adding a sweet touch. She wore a soft pink blouse with ruffle details on the shoulders and chest, and a large white ribbon in the center.
A dark skirt with yellow and blue plaid patterns completed her look. Her face looked fresher with light makeup that accentuated her bright blue eyes and cheeks that were flushed with a soft blush.
"Hm?"
One of his eyebrows rose slightly; Ren felt a bit surprised to see Yotsuba's so different appearance.
Usually, Yotsuba always appeared simple with a T-shirt and casual pants. However, the Yotsuba in front of him right now was beautifully dressed and wearing makeup that made her look even prettier. She resembled a teenage girl going on a date with her boyfriend more than a married woman.
This change in her appearance raised questions in Ren's mind, making him wonder what exactly had happened for Yotsuba to dress up so beautifully.
With a shy gesture, Yotsuba twirled the ends of her hair between her fingers, lowered her head slightly, and asked in a soft tone, "How do I look, Rokuhara-san?"
The question further strengthened Ren's suspicion that something was wrong with Yotsuba. This drastic change in appearance and nervous demeanor were clearly not characteristic of the Yotsuba he knew.
'Could this be the work of that ghost?' Ren thought, his eyes secretly glancing at the faint ghostly figure standing right behind Yotsuba.
The figure could only be seen by mystical practitioners or ordinary people who had inadvertently awakened their Spirit Vision ability.
As someone quite experienced in romantic matters, based on his keen observation of Yotsuba's mannerisms, Ren had a strong conviction that the MILF in front of him was showing signs of feelings for him. In fact, the Yotsuba he knew was a faithful wife and would never act this way towards another man besides her husband.
To test this speculation, Ren tried giving a simple compliment.
"You look very beautiful today, Yotsuba-san. Very different and refreshing."
Yotsuba's face instantly flushed red, the blush spreading to her ears. In a small and slightly choked voice, she replied:
"R-really? Ah... N-not really... I just... just wanted to try something different."
Yotsuba didn't dare to meet his eyes, and a small but clear smile was etched on her lips.
'Sure enough, Yotsuba isn't normal. It's most likely that ghost doing all this.'
Seeing this, Ren became even more convinced that something very strange was happening to his sister-in-law.
Realizing the strangeness of her behavior, Yotsuba tried to compose herself and changed the topic of conversation in a slightly hurried tone.
"Ah, Rokuhara-san, you should order something. What would you like to order?"
"Um."
Nodding in agreement, Ren picked up the menu lying on the table.
After looking through the available dishes, he raised his hand to call the waitress.
Popura immediately approached their table with a notepad and pen in hand, smiling warmly. freewёbnoνel.com
"Good day! What would you like to order?"
"I'll have the limited edition premium parfait." Ren replied briefly.
Popura wrote down the order in her notepad.
"Alright, one limited edition premium parfait. Please wait a moment, your dish will be delivered to you as soon as it's ready."
After that, she turned and went to serve other customers in the restaurant that was starting to get more crowded.
Ren once again glanced at the faint ghostly figure that continued to stand behind Yotsuba.
'If I hadn't managed to master the Selfless State yet, my strong Campione aura would have definitely scared that ghost away as soon as it saw me.'
'Let's check what kind of ghost it is.' He thought to himself.
Seeing Yotsuba looking awkward and not knowing what to say, Ren suddenly took out a book from inside his jacket.
That book is none other than the Divine Authorities Book of Knowledge.
Ren had indeed deliberately not deactivated it, but rather kept it active to train his magical energy control. Therefore, the book still continued to manifest in physical form.
With the unparalleled power of knowledge, which could only be surpassed by equal or higher power, Ren immediately sought information about the ghost haunting Yotsuba.
The pages of the book quickly displayed the information he was looking for.
'Bonding Ghost (Kizuna Yurei). Formerly a wife who had an affair and was killed by her husband in a fit of rage. Her spirit continues to live on, and now has an obsession with manipulating the feelings of other women to follow the same path: betraying the sacred bonds of marriage for wild and forbidden love.'
Ren immediately tried to find a solution in the Book of Knowledge to restore Yotsuba's condition to normal. However, the feedback he received was negative.
The power of the Bonding Ghost had affected Yotsuba for too long, and the influence was already permanent. It was too late to cure her.
Knowing this, instead of feeling disappointed, Ren actually looked indifferent. For him, whether Yotsuba returned to normal or not, it didn't have a significant impact on his life.
'It's a shame Yotsuba is already married. If only she were still single, with her looks like this, I would have definitely taken her to a love hotel by now and slept with her to my heart's content.' Ren thought with a feigned tone of regret.
It should be remembered that Ren had a mild case of misophobia. He would only have sex with virgin women. Clearly, Yotsuba was a married woman, so she was excluded.
