Between World Restaurant - Dxhaseoxd

He was a goblin.

The ones that had stood up were all adventurers who risked their lives fighting monsters to earn their pay, so they weren't unfamiliar with the appearance of a goblin.

As soon as they stood up, everyone else also turned in his direction and they couldn't help breaking out in conversation.

"What is a goblin doing here?"

"How did it get through the door?"

"Did it wander in here by accident?"

The adventurers knew that if they left the goblin here, it would create problems for the store, so they all moved forward to take care of it.

When Rigur saw these people moving towards him with their weapons, he couldn't help taking a step back, but his back was already to the door, so he really couldn't move any further back.

He quickly raised his hands and said, "Wait, wait, I don't mean any harm."

The adventurers were surprised to hear this goblin speak, but they couldn't understand it, so it didn't mean anything to them.

They quickly went into formation and surrounded the goblin so that it couldn't run anywhere before moving forward towards it.

But before they could do anything to Rigur, Yami suddenly moved forward, past the lines of adventurers.

When they saw this, they couldn't help speaking up.

"Boss lady, don't trouble yourself! We'll take care of it for you!"

"Boss lady, just leave it to us!"

Not a single one of them showed any concern for Yami because they knew that there would be no problem if she approached it.

They all knew just how powerful Yami was because they had all seen her demonstrations before.

If Yami couldn't handle this goblin, they couldn't handle it even if they worked together.

But Yami ignored them all and walked up to the goblin to look down at it.

When Rigur saw Yami looking down at him, he couldn't help starting to tremble.

That was because he could sense the powerful magic fluctuations coming from this human woman. Even if he wanted to resist, he wasn't able to at all because she was just that much stronger than him.

So the only thing that he could do was

Without hesitation, Rigur fell to his knees and started begging for his life.

Even though they didn't understand what he was saying, everyone in the restaurant could get the general gist of what he was doing and they couldn't help feeling sorry for him.

But that didn't move Yami at all as she still looked at him with narrowed eyes.

There were even people in the restaurant that wanted to speak up for the goblinbut they didn't in the end because it was a goblin. The reputation of the goblin was already bad enough in their worlds, so they knew that it was better to not let this goblin go.

However, to their surprise, Yami didn't take care of this goblin.

She just raised her hand and there was a panel that appeared out of nowhere.

This was something that they had never seen before, but they could feel the powerful magic energy fluctuations that came from it. Everyone knew that this was some kind of powerful magic, but they had no idea what it did.

Yami tapped on this panel a few times before looking down at Rigur and saying, "It seems like the translation magic isn't set up to pick up this language. This is a mistake."

The way that she said this almost seemed like she was talking to herself, but it had been in a voice loud enough that everyone in the restaurant could hear it.

They all looked at her with confused looks as they couldn't understand what she meant.

Well, they could understand what the words meant since they were all familiar with every word she said. They just couldn't understand the context that she was using these words in.

Yami tapped on the panel a few more times before turning back to Rigur to say, "Say something now."

Rigur had been kneeling with his head firmly placed on the ground while trembling. He was just hoping that this powerful woman in front of him would let him go, but he never expected her to suddenly say this.

Rigur couldn't help looking up at her in a daze before saying, "Are you sparing me?"

This time, everyone was able to understand the words that he said and they were even more shocked.

They couldn't understand what had just happened, but they could tell that Yami did something

Yami gave a satisfied nod before saying, "Stand up, I won't do anything to you."

Rigur looked at her with a doubtful look before hesitantly standing up.

Yami looked at the adventurers who still had their weapons up and said, "Are you still wielding weapons in my restaurant? Do you want to be punished by me?"

The adventurers trembled when they heard this, but still they didn't let their guards down. After all, there was a goblin that was standing there in front of them.

One of them couldn't help saying, "Boss lady, this is a goblin, we can't let our guard down that easily."

Yami pointed at Rigur and said, "This is a different kind of goblin than the one that you've encountered before. This one has developed in a world where goblins have intelligence and have a docile nature, so they can communicate with humans."

Then she pointed at his clothes and said, "Don't you see his clothes? Can't you see that they are made in the same style as human clothing?"

As they looked closely at Rigur, they had to admit that his clothes seemed like what a human researcher would wear.

But still, none of them were willing to accept this that easilyuntil

Yami gave a cold snort and said, "Do you still have doubts? If you do, you can address them to me."

As she said this, she raised her fist at them.

When they saw this fist, they all felt a chill run down their spine and immediately lowered their weapons.

Yami gave a satisfied nod before saying, "Get back to your meals, I'll take care of this."

While they had unwilling looks, the adventurers still went back to their tables and sat down.

During this time, they all flashed wary looks at Rigur, making it clear that they still didn't trust him.

But at the very least, they didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him right now.

Seeing this, Rigur couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief, but he also didn't let his guard down.

After all, the most dangerous person, this lady with the powerful magic energy fluctuations, was still standing in front of him.

So he just waited for her to say something.

Yami turned back and said, "Welcome to the Between World Restaurant."

Eleventh Meal — Ebi Fry (3)

"Between World Restaurant?" Rigur couldn't help repeating in a confused voice.

Yami nodded before explaining, "This is a restaurant in another world, so we call it the Between World Restaurant."

Rigur nodded in a daze at first, but then his eyes suddenly popped wide open as he stared at Yami and asked, "This is another world?"

Yami nodded and explained everything about the restaurant.

As he was listening to this explanation, Rigur couldn't help turning to look at the door of the restaurant in a daze.

He had indeed felt a powerful magic fluctuation when he walked through the door, but he never expected something like this

He knew that it was possible to use spatial magic since he knew that there were things like the magic door, but he had never heard of any magic that would be able to bring a person to another world. In fact, he couldn't even begin to imagine just how much mana it would take to bring a person to another world since he knew how much mana it took to use spatial magic.

It might even take all the magic crystals in the entire Goblin Kingdom to cast one instance of this super spatial magic

This was not something that people could cast that easily.

But he could feel the different traces of magic from the people in this restaurant.

While all that he felt the traces of magic from were able to manipulate magic, he could tell that they followed different techniques and laws when using their magic power. So it was clear that these people didn't come from the same world.

The amount of mana that was required to summon all of these people to this placeit terrified him

He couldn't even begin to imagine what kind of monster would have this kind of magic power

Noas he thought this, he couldn't help turning back to look at Yami who was still explaining the restaurant to him.

He knew which monster it was that had this kind of magic power because she was standing right in front of him. The terrifying feeling that he felt coming from her, there was only one explanation for it

As he realized this, Rigur immediately made the conviction that he would never do anything to annoy Yami ever.

Otherwise, he was sure that it would be hard for him to keep his life.

After she finished explaining, Yami asked, "Are there any other questions?"

Rigur trembled as he was pulled out of his thoughts by this question.

Seeing Yami look at him, Rigur couldn't help revealing an awkward look.

That was because he hadn't actually been listening, so he really didn't know if there was anything that he should ask. However, he was also scared to ask her to explain it again because he knew that it would annoy her.

Annoying her was the last thing that he wanted to do right now.

But if he didn't ask now and he did things that offended her

Just like this, he struggled with his internal dilemma for a while before finally hesitantly shaking his head.

Yami could see through his dilemma, it wasn't hard for someone with eyes as sharp as her. However, she knew that it would be a pain to ask him if he needed help, so she decided to ignore it.

It would be easier to answer his questions later than to explain the whole thing again after all. Not to mention, she could see that he was scared of her, so she knew that it would be unlikely that he would ask many questions.

There was also a part of her that liked seeing how scared of her she was.

This was the part that she had inherited from being the demon king in the past.

So without explaining anything else, she just said, "Alright, I'll show you to your table."

She didn't even turn back as she headed into the restaurant.

With a bitter smile on his face, Rigur had no choice but to follow her.

As he walked into the restaurant and he saw the people happily eating there, his nerves slowly calmed down as he recognized that he wouldn't be in any danger.

As he calmed down, the spirit of a researcher started to show itself.

Even if he was skilled as a businessman, he did have the spirit of a researcher and the curiosity that came with it. So he couldn't help wondering how this restaurant came to be and how the door that allowed for people of different worlds to come to this place was created.

So Rigur couldn't help asking, "How did the door find my world and bring me here?"

Yami was surprised since this was a question that was rarely asked even though it should have been one of the first questions that most people asked. After all, most people were too dazzled by the restaurant that they normally had other things to think about, so no one had actually thought to ask this question.

But Yami didn't mind answering it, so she said, "The door has a mind of its own, so it seeks out intelligent beings and then creates doors in those worlds to bring them here."

Rigur's chin couldn't help dropping as he asked, "This door has a mind of its own?"

This was the first time that he had heard something like this.

He was certain that this magic door was something like a magic tool, but magic tools had to be controlled by people. That was the basics of magic tools that he had learned back in the academy.

He had never heard of a magic tool that could think on its own.

Not because no one had thought of it before, it was because it was something that was considered taboo.

Giving a magic tool a will, was that any different from creating life?

Creating life was the domain that only gods could reach, so no mortals would ever think about touching on that realm.

Could it be that the one who created this door was a god?

Yami nodded and said, "It was created based on something called AI or artificial intelligence that came from this world."

Rigur couldn't help looking at the door again when he heard this and for some reason, he could feel a bit of pressure coming from the door. It was almost as if he was facing a real person when he looked at the door.

After staring at it for a long time, Rigur finally asked, "How was it created?"

In the end, it was his curiosity that got the better of him.

Even if he knew that it was taboo, he still wanted to know how it was done.

When he asked this, Yami suddenly stopped moving and turned back with an excited look.

The door was one of the things that she was most proud of, so when people asked her about it, she couldn't hold herself back.

She started saying in an excited voice, "When I made that door, I used spatial magic to first create a stable passage that would allow the door to bring people to our world from other worlds. Then I did a bunch of research on AI and created a spirit that was similar to it that I attached to the door, which gave it its own will. After that, I just had the door search for different worlds and bring people here."

Rigur couldn't help being taken aback by this sudden change in attitude with Yami.

She had gone from a cold and collected beauty to someone who seemed to be very passionate about their hobby. This sudden change really caught him off guard and he didn't know how to react.

But it also reminded him ofHaruna, the girl from his workplace.

She was the same as Yami, but instead of being a cold and collected beauty, she was normally a girl who was shy and quiet. But she was the same as Yami where she would always be filled with passion whenever she talked about things that she was excited about.

However, after overcoming his surprise, Rigur suddenly realized something from Yami's words.

"When I made that door"

That was the most important part of that rant for Rigur.

His eyes couldn't help opening wide as he looked at Yami.

He already recognized that Yami was the one who brought people to this world, but he never thought that she would be the one that created the door. He thought that she was just using her spatial magic through the door, but he never thought that she would be the one who created it.

Then that meant that she was also the one that had given the door a will

Did that mean that she was a god?

If that was the case, it really would explain the strange feeling that he felt from her.

Yami could see the strange look on his face and asked, "What's wrong?"

Rigur trembled when he heard this and he quickly shook his head as he said, "Nothing, nothing at all."
