Between World Restaurant - Dxhaseoxd

Yami just casually said, "That was in the past, I already told you that. There's no need for you to get all worked up, is there?"

Elsie trembled when she heard this as her eyes started misting over. She looked up at Yami with those strong eyes and said, "There's nothing for me to get worked up over? There's nothing for me to get worked up over?"

As she said this, Yami couldn't help feeling a strange feeling from her.

Elsie pointed her finger right at Yami and shouted, "If it wasn't for you! If it wasn't for you, then Kai wouldn't have had to sacrifice himself!"

Yami raised a brow and repeated, "Kai?"

Hearing this, Elsie was filled with even more anger and she shouted, "That's right! The hero of light Kai! He was the one that sacrificed himself to take you out!"

Yami revealed a bitter smile when she heard this before shaking her head. She said with a sigh, "Well, to say that he sacrificed himself is a bit too much."

Elsie started trembling with rage after hearing these words. She pushed her face right in front of Yami's and shouted, "You can say what you want about me, but I won't let you disrespect Kai!"

Yami grabbed her by the shoulder and pushed her back down before saying, "I'm not disrespecting him and I'm telling you to calm down first."

But seeing how Elsie looked, she knew that her words wouldn't work.

So she turned to the kitchen and said to Lin Fan who was peeking out to check what the situation was, "Dear, can you go and get Kai from the bakery?"

Lin Fan looked at the short half elf girl who looked like she was about to explode from anger and gave a nod before heading out.

Turning back to Elsie, Yami said, "Look, can you just wait a few minutes? I promise that it'll completely change how you feel about this situation, alright?"

Elsie just glared at her like she wanted to bite her.

Yami knew that if she hadn't been holding her down, she would have charged at her even if she couldn't use her magic.

Seeing that this was the case and knowing that her words wouldn't work, she had no choice but to use force.

So she released her aura and let it fall onto Elsie.

Elsie felt like there was a mountain that fell onto her. It was like weights had been tied to every limb and no matter how she tried to move them, she couldn't lift her limbs at all.

She wanted to speak and ask Yami what she was doing, but even her facial muscles refused to follow her will. She couldn't move a single part of her, as if her body no longer belonged to her.

Yami gave a sigh and said, "Just wait here for a bit. You'll get all the answers that you want soon."

Elsie didn't listen and just kept glaring at her like a mad dog.

Yami gave a shrug before lifting her up and putting her to the side. After all, she couldn't just leave her in the middle of the restaurant like that, she would bother the other customers.

After putting Elsie on the side, she went back to her job of serving the customers.

When Elsie saw her serving customers, she couldn't help being shocked once more.

The mighty and proud demon king was actually lowering herself to serving other people meals

This really was a large blow to her who had only ever seen her as a powerful enemy to defeat.

At the same time, it also blew away a part of her anger. Still, there was a small part that remained.

That was until she saw who Lin Fan brought.

After around ten minutes, Lin Fan came back to the restaurant with someone following him.

This person had a very confused look since Lin Fan hadn't explained much to him on the way here. He had just told him that there was an acquaintance here for him, but he didn't remember any acquaintances.

After all, this person also wasn't from Earth and was from another world.

He knew very few people in this world, so all the acquaintances that he should know were people that were already from Lin Fan's restaurant. But there would be no reason for Lin Fan to bring him here to meet them since they all knew where his bakery was.

If they wanted to see him, they could have just come and see him.

So why did Lin Fan come all this way to find him?

When Elsie saw the person that came in with Lin Fan, she couldn't help being stunned. While this person looked a bit unfamiliar, she would never forget this face and those eyesShe was certain that this was the person that she had been looking for.

When that person also saw Elsie, he couldn't help being surprised.

He never expected to find that the acquaintance that Lin Fan mentioned before was actually his old childhood friend Elsie that he hadn't met in over twenty years now.

It wasn't hard for him to figure out how she came here, but it certainly was a surprise since he never expected her to come to this restaurant.

As for who this person washe was Kai, the fallen hero.

Seeing that Kai was here, Yami released the restraints on Elsie.

When she regained her movements, she couldn't help taking a step forward and pointing at Kai as she said in a trembling voice, "Are you? Are you really?"

Kai gave a nod with a smile and said, "Elsie, it's really been a long time, hasn't"

Before he could finish, she suddenly received a flying kick to the stomach. While it didn't even faze him, it still caused him to stop talking as he was surprised by this sudden kick of hers.

He couldn't help looking down at Elsie who was hugging her foot and asked, "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly kick me?"

Elsie was bent over hugging her foot. When she had kicked Kai right in the stomach, she felt like she had kicked a steel plate. For a magician like her who had low physical prowess to begin with, this really was painful.

Kai was about to bend over to check on her when she suddenly raised her hand and said, "Don't come near me!"

Kai was surprised to hear this, but he respected her wishes and stayed away from her, waiting for her to slowly recover.

Once Elsie had finally recovered, she stood up and looked at him with tearful eyes as she hit him again with her fists. Of course, this time she had learned her lesson and didn't hit him as hard.

While crying, she asked, "Why? Why didn't you come back if you were alive?"

Kai revealed an awkward look since he knew that this was coming. He had tried to soften the blow by acting friendly and casual, but it seemed like it didn't work.

All he could say was, "Sorry."

It took a while for Elsie to slowly calm down, but eventually she had calmed down enough to wipe her tears and say, "It's just good that you're still alive." Then she turned to Yami and said, "Now we can take down that demon king together."

Kai once again revealed an awkward look as he said, "While I would like to do that, that's not the situation now. We live in peace in this world and I can't really do anything to my saviour's wife."

Elsie looked at Kai with a confused look as she muttered, "Saviour?" But then she realized something different about his tone and asked, "Kai, are you saying that you're not coming back with me?"

Kai hesitated a bit before giving a nod and saying, "That's right. The world over there is at peace and it doesn't need me anymore. Not to mention, I have my own reasons for staying in this world."

As soon as his voice dropped, there was a voice that rang out, "Dear, what's wrong? You suddenly took off with Lin Fan earlier."

"Dear?!" Elsie said with a shocked look.

Kai gave a nod and said, "Yes, that's my wife."

Seventh Meal — Gratin (3)

The look of shock on Elsie's face became even stronger as she said in a trembling voice, "Wife?"

Kai just gave a nod before waving at the woman who had appeared in the restaurant.

That woman came over to his side and after being introduced, she greeted Elsie, "Hello, it's a pleasure meeting one of my husband's dear friends. I've heard all about you from him."

Elsie just stared at the two of them in a daze.

Everyone around could see the heartbroken look in her eyes. In fact, they could even hear the sounds of her heart cracking.

That was everyone except for Kai who still didn't understand what was happening.

Even his wife could see the brokenhearted look in Elsie's eyes

After a long period of silence, Elsie suddenly grabbed the staff from Yami and gathered her magic power.

This time, Yami didn't stop her and just waved her hand to create a barrier around the two of them. She had also used her magic to bring Kai's wife away at the same time, pulling her out of the barrier.

Kai still had a confused look, but facing the magic of the Sage Elsie, he couldn't just resist it with his body.

With a flick of his hand, the bracelet on his wrist suddenly disappeared and in its place, there was a giant sword that appeared in front of him. He didn't swing out with this sword, but rather placed it right in front of him to block Elsie's spell.

The sword had no problem facing the dark flames that Elsie released from her staff, scattering them as they made contact. As for the scattered flames that flew out around him, they hit their barrier and were dissipated.

No one in the barrier was hurt at all by the dark flames.

Kai quickly said, "Elsie, what are you doing? I don't know why you're so angry, but there are innocent people here. You can't just throw these kinds of spells like this!"

But Elsie wouldn't listen at all as she threw more flames at Kai.

Kai could only block those flames with a helpless look on his face as he waited for her to calm down.

After throwing flames for a full five minutes, Elsie finally said with an aggrieved look, "Why am I so angry? How can I not be angry when you broke our promise like this!?"

"Promise?" Kai asked with a confused look on his face.

Hearing this, Elsie's face was filled with rage again as she started throwing even more flames at him.

Kai just blocked the flames as he turned to Yami and said, "Hey, stop watching and help me already! Isn't this your restaurant? Aren't you afraid that she'll destroy it?"

Yami just calmly looked at him and said, "You deserve it, so I'm on her side."

"Huh?" That was all Kai could say.

Elsie heard this and couldn't help looking at Yami with a grateful look even though she was filled with rage. She then turned back at Kai and threw more and more attack spells at him until she was completely out of mana.

With no choice, Kai could only take the spells that she threw at him.

While she threw her spells, she did hold back in the end since it wasn't as if she wanted to hurt him, she was just angry at him. So while she gathered all her mana for the spells, she had toned them down at the last second so that they would only deal minor injuries if they hurt him.

Kai had been a hero as well and after coming to this world, it wasn't as if he had suddenly lost his powers.

This was a person that had been a hero for a long time and was at the same level as Elsie, so it was easy for him to block her attacks without suffering any damage at all. Of course, the one that bore the brunt of this attack was the Sacred Sword Schral.

This was a holy armament from their world, only used by the strongest of heroes. This wasn't something that could break easily, so it was able to easily dispel the spells that were thrown at him.

Once she was out of mana, all she could do was sit there on the ground and cry.

Seeing this, Yami dispelled the barrier around them with a wave of her hand.

Kai just stood there with an awkward look on his face as he didn't know what to do. To his surprise, it was his wife that suddenly came forward and took Elsie in her arms, patting her on her back as she let her cry on her shoulder.

Elsie was too emotionally distressed to care who came to comfort her, she just wanted someone to comfort her

So she buried her head into Kai's wife's shoulder and just let out all her tears.

As for the other customers in the storethey weren't boorish enough to stare at a young girl as she cried like this. Even without Yami glaring at them threateningly, they all tactfully turned away from the scene.

After all, it wasn't in their tastes to watch this young girl cry like this

Though, she wasn't actually a young girl. She just looked young because of her half elf heritage.

It took half an hour before Elsie was finally able to calm down.

During this time, Kai just stood there with an awkward look on his face, not knowing what to do at all. At the same time, Yami also stopped working and stood by them watching everything since this was also related to her.

When Elsie finally calmed down, her eyes were completely red and her voice was hoarse as well.

Yami handed a bag of ice to Kai's wife who used it to dab her eyes to help them cool down and reduce the swelling.

When she was calm, Elsie looked up at Kai again with a sad look, but she asked, "Do you really not remember our promise at all?"

This was the last hope that she had.

It was possible that Kai had lost part of his memories when he came to this world. If that was the case, it made sense that he had forgotten about his promise to her and that was why he married.

Kai revealed a confused look as he asked, "Promise? Did we make a promise?"

Elsie nodded and said, "You promised that we would safely return from the demon king's castle hand in hand. When that time came, you and I would live happily together forever."

Kai revealed an awkward look and said, "I know that I couldn't keep my promise, but is it really that big of a deal? We were able to stop the demon king and that's all that matters, right?"

Elsie's eyes started tearing up again as she said, "But why did you have to get married? I was waiting for you the entire time because I never believed that you were dead! I waited for twenty years!"

Kai revealed a confused look as he asked, "Waiting? Why would you be waiting for me? Also, what does getting married have to do with breaking our promise?"

Elsie revealed a look of complete shock and disbelief.

On the side, Kai's wife revealed a sympathetic look as she knew exactly what had happened. She had already guessed it earlier when she heard the interaction between the two of them, but she didn't say it because she was afraid that she would hurt Elsie even more when she was emotionally unstable.

But now that Kai had said it right to her face

Elsie revealed a look of distress after this as she muttered, "But we promised to be together"

Kai's wife patted her on the back before turning to her husband and saying, "Dear, sometimes you really are too dense for your own good."

Kai was shocked when he heard this. He turned to look at Yami and Lin Fan who had come out to see what was happening.
