Between World Restaurant - Dxhaseoxd

He shook his head with a bitter smile when he heard this, but for the sake of the kid, he didn't argue with these two.

When the boy saw Croquette, he said, "Uncle Zweit, you're here too!"

Croquette gave a nod before saying, "Call me Croquette here."

The boy revealed a confused look, but in the end, he still said with a nod, "Alright, uncle Croquette."

Croquette patted the boy on the head before saying, "Good boy."

The boy then pointed at his parents and asked, "Uncle Croquette, why are mother and father arguing like that?"

Croquette revealed an awkward smile when he was faced with this question.

Thirteenth Meal — Kids Lunch (4)

"Kid's lunch?" The boy said to himself.

Hearing him speak, Croquette turned away from the fighting couple to ask, "Arc, what is it? Did you find something that caught your eye?"

The boy hesitated a bit before giving a nod and pointing at the dish on the menu before asking, "Uncle Croquette, can you tell me more about this kid's lunch?"

Croquette was surprised to hear this, but he took a closer look at the menu that the boy was holding.

After thinking for a bit, he couldn't help revealing a confused look.

That was because even though he had eaten at this restaurant for a long time, he didn't really have an impression of this kid's lunch because he had never seen it before.

After all, it was rare for a kid to come here in the first place and usually they would order other things.

So he had never seen anyone order this kid's lunch before.

Thirteenth Meal — Kids Lunch (5)

Croquette saw this look on the boy's face and asked in a teasing voice, "What's wrong? Are you feeling the bittersweetness of the pudding? Or is it that you're feeling the bittersweetness of unrequited love?"

The boy was surprised by Croquette's words and couldn't help revealing a bitter smile.

After all, he had indeed never felt this way before.

He actually wanted seconds.

Normally, he would be able to control himself to act with the utmost manners, so he wouldn't do something as embarrassing as asking for seconds.

But he really couldn't help himself in the face of this delicious food.

Not only seconds, he even wanted thirds!

So he was put in a hard position since he couldn't say what he wanted to say.

Croquette could guess what he was thinking since he was familiar with this boy and the rules of the royal family. But he couldn't just say it directly or else he felt that the boy wouldn't learn.

Thirteenth Meal — Kids Lunch (6)

Finn was surprised to hear Menchi Katsu calling for him, but since it was Menchi Katsu, he said goodbye to the people around him and came over.

When he came over, he asked, "What's going on?"

After he said this, neither Menchi Katsu or Croquette said a thing.

Both of them just looked at each other, as if they wanted the other person to speak first, but neither of them said a thing.

Seeing this, Finn couldn't help feeling that something was off, so he asked, "Is something wrong?"

Both of them quickly said, "No, no, nothing is wrong"

But then they went quiet just as quickly.

It didn't take a genius to notice that clearly something was off.

So Finn knitted his brows and said, "If you have something to say, you can just tell me."

Both of them looked at each other again before giving another sigh.

Seeing that neither of them were willing to say a thing, Finn stood up and acted like he was about to leave.

Thirteenth Meal — Kids Lunch (7)

The fight between the two of them continued with Finn attacking and Percy defending.

There wasn't a single time where Finn broke through Percy's defenses.

He had kept yelling at Percy, demanding answers from him after seeing how he had been affected the first time, but there wasn't a single opening that was given to him after the first time.

It was as if Percy had completely sealed off his emotions, so that he wouldn't be affected no matter what Finn did.

He just methodically parried Finn's attacks and knocked him to the ground.

To the side, Amphi couldn't help watching all of this with a worried look on her face.

She was Finn's childhood friend, so she was also close to Percy since she had spent quite a bit of time in the palace.

Fourteenth Meal — Beef Stew (1)

"She's near here! Get her!"

"Send the dogs out! They'll find her right away!"

As the little girl ran through the forest, she could hear these voices from behind her.

Soon, she was also able to hear the sounds of howling coming from behind her.

Even though they had been called dogs, it was more accurate to call these creatures chasing after her wolves. They were much bigger and had much sharper fangs than normal dogs after all.

The little girl knew that she had to find a place to hide or she would be found very soon.

But at the same time, she couldn't stop the mist from covering her eyes.

She knew that the appearance of these hunters and their wolves meantthat her mother had already been captured.

Or the more likely endingher mother was most likely dead.

They had escaped together, but her mother had stayed behind to draw the hunters and the wolves away.

Fourteenth Meal — Beef Stew (2)

After dashing through the door, there was a flash of white light around her.

It was so bright that she couldn't help closing her eyes, which caused her to trip and fall onto the ground.

She slid through the door and landed on the floor of the restaurant.

When the people inside the restaurant saw and heard this, they couldn't help looking at this little girl with a surprised look.

There were a few of them that wanted to come forward to help this little girl, but before they could, there were others that came in the door after her.

The little girl quickly stood up seeing this and started running forward again, but she made sure to avoid all the people in the restaurant. Judging by the look on her face, it was as if she didn't trust anyone at all.

Seeing this, the leader of the hunters shouted at the wolves, "Hunt!"

Fourteenth Meal — Beef Stew (3)

Instead of just standing there like she had done before, Yami actually took a step forward towards the man who was pointing a gun at her.

The leader of the hunters couldn't help taking a step back when he saw this as a chill ran down his back.

He just couldn't understand why he was feeling this way.

He was clearly the one pointing the gun at this woman, so why did it feel like she was putting pressure on him?

Why did it feel like he was the one in danger when he was supposed to have the ultimate weapon?

This didn't make any sense!

The leader of the hunters gave a gulp before saying in a shaky voice, "This is your last warning! If you, you don't stand down now, I'll shoot!"

Yami just had the same smile as she took another step forward.

Once again, the leader of the hunters took another step back.

His finger on the trigger wanted to pull it, but he felt it become stiff as if there was something preventing him from pulling it.

Fourteenth Meal — Beef Stew (4)

When Yami's attention was on her, the little girl couldn't help being scared.

She had seen how easily the hunters had been thrown out and how even the gun had been useless. Even a little girl like her was able to tell that this was all done by Yami, so she was a little scared of her because of it.

She wasn't terrified of her because of how Yami had comforted her earlier.

However, when Yami looked at her like this, she couldn't help becoming more scared.

Yami saw this and came over slowly, in a non threatening manner. She was able to make it in front of the little girl before reaching her hand out to her and saying, "I'm not going to hurt you, alright?"

The little girl looked at Yami with bright eyes and then slowly gave a nod before reaching her hand out to hold Yami's hand.

Yami gently helped the girl off the ground and then she turned her around to have a proper look at her.

After looking over her body, she said, "You're quite dirty."

Fourteenth Meal — Beef Stew (5)

When they came down together, everyone in the restaurant couldn't help looking in their direction.

The ones that had come late had heard about the situation from the ones that had been here, so they knew what had happened.

When they all saw the little girl, they couldn't help being shocked.

That was becauseshe was too beautiful!

Dressed in that Victorian doll dress, with her beautiful white skin and her big round eyes, she was just like a little doll!

They couldn't stop themselves from gushing over her, but they all kept themselves calm because they could see Yami glaring at them.

It was like if any of them dared to do anything to this little girl, she wouldn't hesitate to beat them.

Not a single one of them dared to look down on Yami, so they all restrained themselves.

However, there were many people who couldn't help taking out their phones to take pictures.

Fourteenth Meal — Beef Stew (6)

This time, Yami didn't let her eat it alone.

Instead, Yami picked up the spoon and scooped up a bit of the soup.

She blew on it a few times and made sure it was cool enough before bringing it over for the little girl to eat. As she brought the spoon forward, she said with a smile, "Say ah."

The little girl was shocked to see this.

She quickly raised her hand and waved it as she said in a panic, "You, you, you don't need to do something like this for someone like me."

But Yami didn't back down as she placed the spoon in front of her and said again, "Say ah."

This time, she said it in a much firmer voice.

Hearing this and seeing the look on her face, the little girl was subdued. She obediently opened her mouth and allowed Yami to feed her.

Fifteenth Meal — Katsudon (1)

"Grr."

As the sound passed by, the cloaked figure couldn't help shrinking back in their hiding spot.

It didn't take long for the sounds of the footsteps to pass by, but the figure hiding there didn't come out right away. Only when there was silence that lasted for a while did this cloaked figure finally come out.

As soon as they came out, they quickly made their way out of this building that they had been trapped in.

They made sure to move through the corridors quickly and checked every single corner before making their way out.

After all, there had been too many people who had been caught off guard and lost their lives since the "Fracture" happened.

Fifteenth Meal — Katsudon (2)

As soon as she saw this little girl falling, Ashley immediately went forward to catch her.

When she caught her, she couldn't help being shocked by how hot her little sister's body was.

She put her hand to her forehead and found that she was burning up.

She had seen her face was a bit red earlier, but she had thought that this was just from the excitement of the toy. However, it seemed now that wasn't the case.

She quickly picked her up and brought her to the bed inside the bedroom. She tucked her up and closed the door.

Her other little sister had a concerned look on her face as she asked, "What's wrong with Megan?"

Ashley shook her head and said, "I don't know." Then after a pause, she revealed a faint smile and patted the little girl on the head and said, "But I'm sure that it's nothing big. I'll go and get Dr Yumihara now, so be good and wait here."

Fifteenth Meal — Katsudon (3)

Ashley couldn't help being shocked when she saw this door, but she quickly came back to her senses when she heard the sounds of zombies coming from behind her.

She quickly closed the door behind her and went into the room with the door standing there.

She went closer to see what this door was, but she couldn't find anything special about this door.

It was nothing more than a simple door that had no decorations on it at all.

The only thing that was special about this door was the dog's paw that was on the door.

After moving around it and taking a closer look, all she felt was more confusion as she didn't understand what this door was.

But she could tell that this door was anything but normal

That was just her intuition as a scavenger telling her this.

She began reaching her hand out to open the door, but before she could, she suddenly heard the sounds of metal being smashed.

Fifteenth Meal — Katsudon (4)

"Ashley" That was what she had said in a daze.

She hadn't even been aware of herself when she said this. It was as if she had been overwhelmed by Yami's presence and had said it unconsciously.

Yami nodded before asking, "What is that creature and why did you bring it here?"

Ashley didn't answer at first, but after a pause, she asked, "Where is this place?"

Ymai revealed a smile when she heard this. This was something that she had seen a lot, so she was already used to this.

"Another world?" Ashley said in a loud shocked voice.

Seeing Yami answer with a nod, Ashley couldn't help looking around herself.

After looking around, she couldn't help standing up and walking over to the window to look out. She found a scene that shocked her even more than this restaurant.

It was a world that was just like the one that she had lived in beforebefore the zombie apocalypse happened.

Fifteenth Meal — Katsudon (5)

Ashley tightly grabbed the scientist's arm again and she said, "Where did you see this specimen? Are you the one that created this zombie viruses?"

The way that she said this was much more aggressive than before.

It was as if she took the scientist's words as an admission of guilt.

After all, he recognized the zombie virus that had destroyed her world, so it was as good as saying that he was the one that had created it in her mind.

Yami grabbed Ashley and pulled her away before saying, "Baked Potato, do you really recognize this?"

Baked Potato couldn't help taking a step back after Ashley had been pulled away and he caught his breath before saying, "I recognize it, but that doesn't mean that I created it. It was something that was created by the virus research department when they were creating different viruses for weapon use, I was just called in to"

Fifteenth Meal — Katsudon (6)

After being conflicted for a while, Yami finally looked at Ashley's pleading look and said, "Fine, just this one time."

When the people around them heard this, the most excited people were the spies.

After all, when it came to fully stocked labs, only these people who were connected to governments would have access. The normal customers wouldn't be able to pull out something like this.

So the ones that they would ask to borrow a lab from wouldmost likely be them.
