Chapter 11: Restaurant

The Black Dragon called Kuro was eating the chicken curry at a moderate speed, while taking some glances at Kyle from time to time.

You don't need to be a Brainiac to understand that Kuro was very interested in Kyle. It wasn't the romantic kind of interest no, or even something that was remotely close to it.

The interest lay in the fact that Kyle was a human. And if her assumptions were correct then he should be a simple one with next to no power. But this seemingly weak yet fragile being had somehow survived after being in close proximity to her full magical form. She, The Great Dragon of Death was a plague like being and so powerful that just her presence was enough to kill every being surrounding her. Which was basically why she was living in this lonesome rock in the first place.

This was new to her, as far as she knew only the other 6 great dragons were able to take her full form's aura nowadays without not getting hurt nowadays. It wasn't like this in the olden days it was much better than, the beings were strong, strong enough to live in her presence, but now it was simply hopeless for her to live anywhere resembling life.

Meanwhile, Kyle had noticed that Kuro was taking some occasional glances at her. He even had a shameless assumption spinning in his head 'Did she notice my charm and instantly fell in love with me?

That thought didn't last long though.  'Who am I kidding?! I'm really getting shameless nowadays, after getting confessed by a girl my shamelessness seems to have gotten to a new high, even though that girl was just a child.' Thinking till here Kyle shrugged helplessly, thinking of reining down his arrogance.

He himself knew the best how he looked. He was lanky and thin. He didn't look that great either, just a little bit above average. A 5.5/10 if he had to rate.

Even though he was a bit above average, his eyes gave him a bad vibe. It downed all the handsome factors of his face. He had a pretty shapely face not in the territory of handsome but enough but his dead fish like eyes took all the handsome factor away.

Because of that factor he had a very average life, pitifully so. It created an intimidation factor that scared the bullies away. Problem was, it also scared the ones he wanted to be friends with away too. So, he had very few friends in his life as a result. 

He wasn't sure at this point if he should be grateful or for having eyes like these or just be hateful of them.

Kuro was done eating everything after merely an hour of continuous food intake.

It was strange to imagine a girl who was shorter and smaller than you and still able to finish 30 plates of chicken curry with ease, when you couldn't properly finish two.

But all of it felt right when you knew about the true form of the short girl. It was more than likely that the meal was nowhere near enough to satiate her hunger fully. He didn't even know if it was possible for a dragon like her to be fully satisfied or not.

Finishing her last bite, she spoke using telepathy. "It was very good."

Kyle smiled at her praise, it wasn't every day that you got to hear the compliments of one of the great 7 dragons, who were comparable to gods in this world! It became doubly worthwhile when you remember that the one who got praised was nothing more than a normal human.

"Thank you for your praise."

"Umu, no problem." 

Kyle then decided to ask her name, even though he knew it already, for formalities sake.

"This is quite late but, can I ask for your name? I can't just keep calling you black dragon. Well I could if you want, but feels awkward nonetheless."

"It's Kuro, you can call me that." 

"Alright then Kuro-san! My name is Kobayashi Kyle. I'm a delivery guy, it was my pleasure to be your acquaintance."

"Same here."

While they were greeting each other, a door abruptly fell from space and landed on the moon near their location.

Boom!

It created a little shockwave, but it was incomparable to the one which was created when Kuro landed, the difference was mind boggling.

But even so, it made Kyle cough once again.

"Cough- Cough- what the hell! Give me a break man!"

While he was complaining, Kuro spoke using telepathy. "It's here."

Kyle stared at the door that had a Neko sign hanging on it and pondered 'Yep, this is the door to the restaurant of another world… no wait, is this restaurant in my transmigrated world?'

He wasn't sure, but he had 60% surety that the door led to a restaurant in his world.

While he was thinking of that possibility, Kuro was already at the door holding the door knob, before she opened it she stared at Kyle and asked politely.

"Wanna come in?"

Kyle didn't expect her to invite him, and asked, a bit unsure. "Can I?"

Kuro slightly nodded, and Kyle, after getting the confirmation immediately went near the door. 

The System didn't issue him to return yet, and he was also curious if his hunch about the door leading to a restaurant of his own world was right or not.

He wanted to confirm it, so as Kuro opened the door he went alongside her.

When Kuro opened the door, there was light accompanied by the jingle sounds of the little bell attached to the door, it and a soothing melody to it.

Kuro was the first to enter and was immediately greeted by a cute orange haired demon with inverted goat-like horns protruding from her head and curling downwards towards her sides. She was wearing an official server maid uniform and holding a salver. Her expressions exuded her youthful charm and bright, cheerful nature. She was truly a wonderful sight to behold.

Her name was Aletta, a demon who was working on this restaurant of another world.

"Welcome Kuro-san!" She happily smiled, but soon realized that there was someone else other than Kuro who came inside with her.

She was a bit surprised, according to her knowledge, Kuro lived on the moon to distance herself from the living and there was no way someone could live or even survive there without being a dragon like her!

Aletta sized up the lanky youth coming along with Kuro, unveiled curiosity rippling in her youthful eyes. Her first thought was that this lanky, average guy with those scary eyes should be a dragon like Kuro!

She was startled yes, but she didn't forget her manners and immediately greeted the new arrival near Kuro!

"Ah! Welcome! I'm extremely sorry for not noticing you sooner, customer-san."

Kyle waved his hands in dismissal, speaking in a friendly tone instead. "It's fine, mind if I sit down for a meal?"

"A-ah! Forgive me! Please do sit down! You can sit anywhere since there isn't anyone here yet!"

"Alright." Kyle stated and sat at the nearest table.

Kuro looked at him and spoke. "Then I'll have to leave you here, I work in this place, so i need to attend to it."

"You work here? That's a bit surprising, but sure go on, don't mind me."  Kyle pretended to be surprised and assured her to go to her work.

Kuro slightly nodded, and replied. "Then, excuse me. Do enjoy your time here." 

She went towards the kitchen and Aletta gave Kyle the menu.

"Customer-san, this is our menu. You can choose anything to order from here, all the dishes are available, call me when you're ready to order."

"Okay, I'll do that."

"Then, excuse me." Aletta went towards the corner, waiting for his orders and for the arrival of the customers.

Kyle was a bit amused actually, Aletta thought that he didn't know the existence of the menu, but he didn't mind, why would he since she had no reason to know that he was a transmigator with anime knowledge.

He started to look at the content of the menu, and thought 'As expected… I can't understand a single thing… but at least there are some pictures.'

After a few minutes of looking at everything on the menu, some customers entered the restaurant one by one.

So far there were 4 customers including him, after a bit more looking, he decided to call Aletta.

"Have you picked your orders, customer-san?"

"Well I have, but for starters can you call the Master of this place, please? I would like to talk to him in person, it's very urgent."

"U-uhmm… o-okay?" Aletta, again confused, still went towards the kitchen to call the Master of this place.

Kyle wondered what his name was, he knew that the anime didn't reveal his name, neither did any media he searched for in his previous life, it was still a mystery.

While waiting, he took his cellphone out of his pocket and looked through it to pass his time, what greeted him was an unexpected outcome he didn't quite expect and exclaimed.

"Ohhh! There really is a freaking WiFi here!" 

The other customers were looking at him strangely, understandable since they didn't know what he was talking about.

Kyle didn't really care and quickly looked through the internet, to be precise he looked at the map and searched his current location, the outcome… was exactly what he thought it to be.

This building was located in Kyoto! It wasn't that far from Tokyo, where he was currently living.

It was then that the Master of the restaurant finally arrived and saw the spectacle of Kyle using his phone.

As he saw this he was evidently shocked!

He thought inwardly 'How? This young man isn't from another world but from my world! He's actually wearing a uniform for the MgRonald employees! More importantly he is also using a cellphone!'

So he immediately went toward Kyle's table, as curious as he was right now serving the customers was the first priority!

"Customer-san, I heard from my waitress that you called me here."

"Well, yes Master, I'll be straight to the point then. I don't know what kind of currency that these people around me use here, but will it be alright for me, if i paid in Yen instead? I honestly don't have the currency from the other world these guys usually use."

Hearing Kyle, the master was assured of his guess. "I was right... you're really from this world, aren't you?"

"Me too, I just got to know that this place is in Kyoto. By the way, I'm from Tokyo and please don't ask how I got here. It's a bit complicated."

No matter what, he wouldn't tell anyone at least not those he didn't trust about his system because that would simply be foolish of him to do that.
