Between World Restaurant - Dxhaseoxd

That was until the humans even wanted that land and were about to completely push the demons out of the world. They even wanted to capture the demons and turn them into their slaves.

So with the birth of the demon king, she rallied the demons and trained them up until they were able to attack the humans. The humans had gone soft from being the dominant race for a long time, so they were easily overwhelmed by the well trained demons.

In the end, it was just a matter of survival of the fittest.

There was also a period of time where Kai started questioning his own role as a hero.

But of course, on Earth, there were many animes and mangas that had already considered all of this.

So after reading them, Kai realized that there was no one to blame for this and there was no reason for him to blame Yami either. It was just something that they couldn't stop and they had both been tools used by their respective races.

So instead of holding onto those grudges, it was better to live a new life on Earth.

As time passed, Kai knew that he couldn't keep imposing on Lin Fan now that Yami and Lin Fan had started dating. So with the bit of money that he had saved up from working part time jobs, he was able to get a loan and start a bakery.

As for the legal documents required for that, it was quite the easy problem to fix with magic.

After they came to this world, neither Kai or Yami had lost their magic, so they were able to do many things that the humans of this world couldn't do.

His dream to become a baker came from his childhood where his family had run a bakery together. It was what he thought that he would become and a way to return to a simpler time.

As time passed, his bakery became popular and famous as the bakery that provided the bread for Lin Fan's restaurant. At the same time, the governments of the world discovered his connection to Lin Fan, and more importantly, to Yami

There were many times where they had pestered him for help with their magic studies, but he had turned them all down.

He just wanted to be a simple baker.

Once Kai had finished with his story, Elsie who had been silent the whole time couldn't help looking at him with a complicated look.

It seemed that he was finally at peace here, something that he couldn't accomplish when they were back in their world.

For her to force him back to their world like this after he had accomplished his dreams would be too cruel.

But it wasn't as if she could just give up on him like this!

Then she couldn't help asking, "How did the two of you meet?"

It was Kai's wife's turn to tell the storybecause Kai was too shy.

Elsie didn't know this, but Kai was actually quite a shy person when it came to lovey dovey stuff. That was made even worse with how dense he was

Kai's wife's name was Elena, she was a beautiful blonde haired young woman with a fine figureThe only flaw would be that her chest was a bit flat

It was clear what kind of preferences Kai had.

After meeting her, Elsie couldn't help looking down at her own figure and feeling a bit better. At least she knew that it wasn't because of her appearance that made him unable to accept her.

As a half elf, she had a more childish appearance. She really couldn't live with herself if it was her appearance that drove him away

As for how Elena and Kai met, it was a fairly normal story.

Kai was a random handsome young man back when he was younger, so he attracted a lot of attention from girls that came to his store. A handsome young baker, that was something that people wrote romance novels about.

For Elena, it had been love at first sight.

But of course, with how dense Kai was, he had never accepted anyone's confessions because he didn't understand that they were confessions. And there were plenty of confessions for this handsome young baker back then.

Elena was among one of those that had confessed as well, but she was one of the few that hadn't given up.

There were also a few others that didn't give up, but they couldn't take how dense he was in the end. She was the only one that had persevered to the end and had won his heart.

It took several hundred confessions, several dozen dates, and finally she just had to kiss him out of nowhere to get him to look at her. This level of denseness could really win a world record.

But after making her way into his heart, he never let her go.

Kai was someone who always dreamed about starting a family one day. Because he had lost his family as a child, he valued family more than anyone would.

On the day that the two got married, he promised that he would love and cherish Elena more than anyone in the world. Of course, he had also kept that promise which was why they were so happily married.

Once the story was over, Elsie fell into a long silence again

She didn't know what to say because this story just cut a deep hole in her heart. She had thought that this story would belong to her, but someone else had taken it away from her.

However, she couldn't even be mad because she could see that this woman had made the man she loved genuinely happy, which was all she wanted to see. But the fact that the woman that made him happy wasn't her completely crushed her spirits.

After this long period of silence, Elsie suddenly looked up at Kai who was surprised to see this.

Perhaps she might have given up after learning this, but there was something special about the world that they lived in.

In their world, polygamy was legal.

It was a medieval world, so it was hard to predict what would happen to you. To preserve the family line, it was better to leave behind as many children as possible.

One spouse would make it hard for this to happen, so there were people that were allowed to find many spouses. Of course, that was on the premise that they would be able to provide for more than one spouse.

Obviously no one would want to get married and have children with someone that wasn't capable of providing for them.

There were also women who took advantage of this to have more than one spouse, which went against the fundamental principle that it was established for. But these women were women that had plenty of money and power, so they could distort these laws.

So for Elsie, it wasn't a problem for her to become Kai's second wife!

After all, she made plenty of money and she had plenty of influence as a sage, so it didn't matter what others thought. As long as she was happy, she could make everyone accept her as Kai's second wife.

But the most important thing was that she didn't want to lose him again after finding him.

While she was unhappy that Kai already had a wife and she didn't really want to share him with another woman, she knew that if she didn't do this, there was no chance for her.

She would rather share him than to not have him at all!

So she said, "I will be your second wife!"

But this wasn't what Kai or Elena wanted.

Elena was from Earth, so monogamy was the norm here. She had been completely caught off guard by Elsie's sudden outburst before looking at Kai with a confused and somewhat angry look.

Kai was also caught off guard by this.

He could guess what Elsie was thinking since he knew that polygamy was legal in his old world. However, he had also stayed on Earth for a long time and had gotten used to monogamy being the norm.

Not to mention that he didn't want to have a wife other than Elena in the first place.

He had already promised that he would love and care for her for the rest of their life, so he wasn't about to break that promise.

Kai decisively shook his head and said, "No."

It was just one simple word, but it was incomparably firm.

Elsie started tearing up again as she looked up at him and said, "Do you really not want me that badly? Am I really that bad?"

Kai couldn't help revealing an awkward look when he heard this.

This was his childhood friend and the girl that he had been closest to before coming to Earth. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel anything towards her. Of course, that didn't mean that he was in love with her.

He just didn't want to hurt her.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Elsie raised her staff and started gathering her mana again as she said, "I don't care what it takes, but you are marrying me."

Kai also slowly raised his hand to pull out his sword as he raised his other hand to protect Elena.

But before they could do anything, there was a plate that was suddenly put down on the table that made both of them jump in shock.

Elsie looked at Yami and her hand holding the staff immediately froze. Yami had a look like she would kill her at any moment and she still remembered what she did before Kai arrived.

There was still that instinctual fear that she felt towards this demon king.

Yami said in a cold voice, "Settle down."

Both of them nodded and lowered their weapons.

Seventh Meal — Gratin (6)

Seeing that they both calmed down, Yami said, "Eat this and have a proper discussion. Don't do anything to bother other people."

Then without a care, she turned to head back to her job.

Elsie looked down at the dish that she had brought and was surprised by it.

This was a potato gratin, a dish that she hadn't eaten in a long time.

Kai had ordered this while they were telling their stories, but because of how long it took and how long their stories went, he had completely forgotten about it.

As for the reason why he had ordered it

That was because this was the dish he and Elsie had eaten when they were younger. This was the dish that Elsie's mother was best at and she would make it for them whenever she had time.

So this was a taste of home for them.

He felt that she would need it after everything that had happened and it would allow them to have a proper talk, but now he felt that it would be a bit too insensitive. So Kai said, "I'll take it if you don't"

Before he could finish, Elsie put the gratin in front of her and started digging in with the spoon that had also been provided.

Seeing this, Kai couldn't help revealing a smile since she looked just the way she did when they were kids. Whenever Elsie saw her mother's gratin, she would plop it in front of her and start digging in like this.

With the first bite, Elsie was already lost in the gratin.

It tasted like her mother's gratin, but at the same time, there were some minor differences. After all, this was a restaurant and her mother wasn't a professional cook.

Her mother's gratin was always simple, only having a thin layer of cheese and a bit of cream in the potatoes, but this one was much richer and bolder.

The moment that she put the first bite of gratin in her mouth, she was hit with a wave of flavour.

This gratin not only had the taste that she was familiar with, but also a taste that was much richer than anything that she had tasted before. This kind of taste was completely different from any gratin that she had eaten before.

The first thing that hit her was the richness of the cream that was mixed with the potato.

Instead of only containing a bit of cream, this gratin was filled with a cream mixture that coated the potatoes, giving it a much stronger taste. The richness of the cream came together with the smoothness of the potato to create a taste that enhanced one another, coming together like a perfect dance on the tongue.

She didn't understand why this worked so well, but when the flavour of both the potato and the cream danced on her tongue, she couldn't help unconsciously swallowing.

But that just made the flavour disappear, so she quickly scooped up another spoonful.

She had gotten mainly potato and cream in that first bite, but this time she got more of the cheese that covered the potatoes.

As soon as she put this bite in her mouth, the flavour of the cheese hit her.

It added a tart taste to the creamy and smooth taste of the potato filling, but it wasn't a taste that was bad. It helped create a contrast with the smooth taste, bringing out the best of both worlds as they melted together.

It was still smooth, but that tart taste gave it a bit more of a kick which hit her taste buds even stronger.

At the same time, as she chewed through the potatoes, she realized that there were little salty bits that were inside of the potatoes. As she chewed, she realized that these were little bits of bacon that had been added to the inside of the gratin.

These sour bits once again clashed with the smooth and creamy taste of the potatoes, but it didn't taste bad. It accented the smoothness by adding a hint of sourness to the taste, which made it even more delicious.

It also helped to add to the richness of the gratin overall as the umami from the bacon had seeped into the potatoes, giving it an even stronger taste.

After the first taste, she couldn't stop herself as she shoved more and more of the gratin into her mouth. This was a taste that she had never had before, but at the same time, it was a taste that reminded her of home, so she just couldn't stop herself.

Mostly becausestuffing her face like this was helping her with her heart break.

She was just trying to eat away her feelings at this point.

After demolishing three gratinswhich Kai had ordered for all three of them, she finally was able to settle down.

But of course, she didn't give up on her idea.

So she looked Kai right in the face and was about to speak, but there was an alarm that suddenly rang out on Kai's phone.

Both Kai and Elena were surprised because they had lost track of time, but it was currently the afternoon. Elsie had arrived in the restaurant in the morning, but after talking for so long, it was already the afternoon.

Kai was about to stand up, but Elena stood up instead and said, "She's your friend, you should stay here and talk to her. I'll go pick up Angel."

Kai looked at her with an unwilling look, but seeing the way she looked at him, he could only nod in response.

The look that was on her face, that was the look that she gave him whenever she wanted him to clean up his mess. It was clear that she was angry with this mess, but she couldn't blame Elsie after hearing her story.

So she chose to blame everything on Kai and she was forcing him to clean up his own mess.

Kai might have been a hero in the past, but now he was nothing more than a husband who listened to his wife.

After Elena left, Elsie couldn't help asking, "Who's Angel?"

Hearing this, Kai suddenly revealed a happy smile as he took out his wallet and pulled out a bunch of pictures. He placed them all over the table and picked out his favourites as he said, "She's my daughter. Isn't she just the cutest?"
