Chapter 2560: A Conversation About the Tea Party ~ ~ The One with Stomachache ~ ~
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The place Eris-san guided me to could be summed up in a single phrase: a casual dining restaurant. Still, the entire place was clean and well-kept, and it even carried a slightly upscale atmosphere.If I had to compare it, it felt a step above a typical chain restaurant, yet not quite at the level of a high-end establishment, just the right balance.
It seemed a reservation had already been made beforehand, and as soon as we entered, a staff member led us to our seats.
[By the way, what kind of cuisine does this place serve?]
[You could say its a restaurant with a fairly wide variety of menu options though theyre particular about using ingredients produced in the Archlesia Empire.]
[I see]
Restaurants that emphasize locally sourced ingredients werent exactly uncommon. Looking over the menu, it wasnt structured around full course meals, but rather a selection of set combinations built around certain concepts if anything, it felt closer to a set-meal diner.
The burger steak caught my attention, so I ordered that. After Eris-san finished placing her order as well, we passed the time chatting while waiting for the food to arrive.
[Im not sure if you know this, Eris-san, but Kaori-sans shop actually has a similar vibe to this place. Though the atmosphere is more like something from our original world]
[Oh, is that so? If I recall, Kaori-san runs her shop in Friendship City, correct? If the opportunity arises, I would love to visit. Surprisingly, I dont get many chances to go to the Friendship City]
[Ah, yeah, that makes sense. Its quite far from the capital of the Archlesia Empire.]
[Indeed. That said, with Teleportation Magic, its easy enough to get there. If I make a conscious effort, visiting isnt really difficult. In fact, Friendship City Hikari has a rather unique political system, one centered around Godism, so you could even call it a theocratic city. Its atmosphere is quite different from places like the Archlesia Empire, which makes it refreshing and enjoyable to visit.]
She had a point. Friendship City Hikari was quite far from the imperial capital, so far, in fact, that it could be considered the westernmost edge of the Human Realm. From an accessibility standpoint, it did seem a bit inconvenient.
If I remembered correctly, it was the place Dr. Vier had first invaded, the land where the Demon Kings castle had been built Then Neun-san defeated Dr. Vier, bringing the battle to an end, and 9 years later, the Treaty of Friendship was signed there
Even so, it apparently attracts an incredible number of tourists each year. The name recognition of the First Hero, combined with the fact that its the only true religious headquarters in a world where faith runs deep, must be a major factor.
Kaori-san did mention her shop was doing very well too Though since it was already past lunchtime, things had probably calmed down by now, and she was likely taking a moment to catch her breath.
Around the time Kaito was enjoying his meal with Eris, over in the Friendship City that had come up in their conversation, the door of a certain diner, Suiren, swung open, and Megiddo and Magnawell stepped inside.
[Ou, sorry for barging in. Im back again, Kaori.]
[Huh? Eh? Ah, uh w- welcome.]
The moment Megiddo strode in with that loud declaration, Kaoris eyes widened to their absolute limit. She rubbed them vigorously, then looked at Megiddo again, glanced around restlessly, and after confirming that Kaito wasnt anywhere in sight, her cheek twitched.
(War King-sama!? Why all of a sudden!? Kaito-kun, wheres Kaito-kun!?)
If Kaito had come along with him, it wouldve still been somewhat better. Well, her stomach would still hurt, of course, but at least thered be some sense of reassurance. But Megiddo showing up alone was nothing short of terrifying, she couldnt shake the feeling that if she made even the slightest mistake, she might get killed.
In reality, Kaori, who ranked among the strongest within the otherworlders in history, was actually someone Megiddo quite liked, so there was no problem at all but she had no way of knowing that.
[E- Errr, War King-sama. Is Kaito-kun not with you today?]
[Ah, yeah. Kaito aint here today. Not exactly a replacement, but I brought someone else along. Let me introduce him this is Magnawell.]
[? ? ?]
[Now, now, Megiddo, if you rush things like that, youll only confuse her You may have seen me during the party, but I am Magnawell Baskus Lardo Kurtzvald. A pleasure.]
[Y- Yeshhh, m- my name is Mizuhara Kaori. P- Please, both of you errr, t- there are open seats, so sit wherever you like]
The moment she heard the name Magnawell, Kaori nearly felt her consciousness slip into the void. Still, perhaps out of pride as the owner of a diner, she forced herself to act, she couldnt just leave customers standing at the entrance, so she guided the two to their seats.
Magnawell looked impressed at her quick composure and professionalism, but internally, Kaori was in no state to realize that.
Just when the lunch rush had finally died down and shed been thinking about wrapping up for the afternoon and taking a breather, two of the Six Kings had suddenly descended upon her shop.
(What is even happening!? Kaito-kun! Help! Heeelp meeee!?)
No matter how much she screamed in her heart, unfortunately, her voice didnt reach him. Clutching her aching stomach, Kaori went over to take Megiddo and Magnawells order.
Serious-senpai : [Ahh, I see from Kaoris perspective, its practically a disaster but since shes strong, I guess she falls into the category of people Megiddo likes. Thats why she ended up thinking Ill invite Magnawell and head over to her place huh how pitiful.]
