Chapter 6: Serving the Not-so-Customer!

-No One's P.O.V-

Kokkoro: Part-time work?

Pecorine: Yeah. You see, I've run out of money, and...

-Flashback-

Chef: *Blows his Cigar* You've got some potential if you can appreciate my secret menu.

-Flashback End-

Pecorine: After telling me that, he hired me to work part-time! I can't help but squeal in delight at their flavors and ingredients. It's a real honor to work there!

(Y/N): Ooh, that sounds pretty amazing.

Pecorine: Yup!

-Time Skip to Lunch-

A few hours later, You, Kokkkoro, and Yuuki were at the restaurant to have something to eat while Pecorine was serving food to the customers.

Kokkoro: The road to forming a guild is so far away...

(Y/N): Hey, I'm sure we can manage.

Kokkoro: Yeah, I hope so.

Suddenly, you and Kokkoro noticed Yuuki was offering his food to Kokkoro.

Yuuki: It's good.

Kokkoro accepts it as she chomps down the food that Yuuki was feeding her.

Kokkoro: Mm. Fish is very good, too.

Yuuki: Mm!

(Y/N): (Well, aren't you quite romantic yourself, Yuuki?)

You thought to yourself with an amused smile on your face.

-MIni Time Skip-

A couple of minutes later, Pecorine was still serving the food of the other customers, three children were also enjoying themselves of the restaurant's food, while Karyl was pacing left and red outside of the restaurant.

While Karyl was pacing, she had a flashback of Her Majesty...

-Flashback-

Karyl: What? Observe her?

In front of Karyl who was bowing down, we see a woman who was sitting on a throne. She has white hair and has fox ears above her head.

???: Yes. We're calling off the assassination. The circumstances have changed. It appears you have 't become fully accustomed to the Princess Knight power I bestowed upon you.

Karyl: P-Please forgive me.

???: Karyl...

Karyl: ?!

???: How indecisive you are. I'll show you the path you should follow.

Karyl: Of course.

-Flashback End-

Karyl: (That's right. She will show me the path I should follow.)

Karyl thought to herself as she enters the restaurant until she sees Pecorine feeding a fried caterpillar to the pink-haired little girl.

Karyl quickly grabs the fried caterpillar out of Pecorine's hand.

Karyl: What are you trying to feed to these little kids?! And why are you dressed like that?!

Pecorine: Does it look good on me? I'm a waitress!

Karyl: A waitress? You're working here?

Karyl felt Kokkoro's presence from behind.

Karyl: Okay, listen! Quit fidgeting with that application pointed at me! Wait...(I forgot. I came here to talk to them about their guild.) L-Look...I sort of wanted to talk to you...I mean... I guess I changed my-

Karyl got her sentence cut off by someone is who kicked the door open as everyone turned to who it was and it was a tall shirtless fat naked man with a scar on his left face who enters the restaurant.

(Y/N): (Whoa, this ugly ass mofo looks like Kingpin from Marvel.)

Fat Man: Is this the place that's been serving nasty meals with bugs in them?

Ikacchi: Hey, you! You complainin' about the master's cooking?!

Ikacchi exclaims until he got backhanded by the fat man which sends him flying at the table, knocking him out.

The fat man walks up, sits down, and places his left hand on the table.

Fat Man: Hey! Don't you even serve your customers' water here?!

He demanded until the Chef comes in.

Chef: What'd you say about my restaurant?

The Fat Man turned to see the Chef who was carrying a frying pan on his right while smoking his cigar.

Chef: You can decide whether it's nasty or not after you tast-

Out of nowhere, The Fat Man crushed the Chef's right arm.

Fat Man: Whoops, so sorry! My hand slipped!

Chef: Shit.

The Chef says painfully and everyone was shocked by this except for you because you were a little angry at this.

(Y/N): Bastard...

You were about to go up against him, but Pecorine held out her left arm in front of you as she shakes her head as if to tell you that she'll handle it.

Pecorine then approaches the Chef's aid while speaking up to the Fat Man.

Pecorine: Are you grumpy because you're hungry?

Fat Man: What's this, little lady? You gonna cook me a meal in place of that geezer on the floor? If I don't like it, you're gonna have to close up shop!

Pecorine: Landosol is a place where anyone, no matter who can enjoy a good meal equally.

Pecorine picks up the frying pan on the ground before pointing and yelling out...

Pecorine: We have an order!

Eventually, Pecorine started to do all the cooking to satisfy the Fat Man's desires using all of the ingredients and all of you were amazed at Pecorine's skilled cooking.

Charlie: Wow...

Kokkoro: She's so skilled.

Pecorine: On my journey, I've had to make food out of all sorts of animals, bugs, and even monsters.

Charlie: Wow...

Karyl: Do you even know how this restaurant seasons its food?

Pecorine: The flavor of the master's delicious bug dishes is carved into my stomach, my brain's recipe book. I'll be fine.

(Y/N): Now that's some goddamn brain you have there.

Pecorine: I'll take that as a compliment. And...all done!

...

After Pecorine finishes her cooking as she delivers the dishes to the Fat Man's table.

Fat Man: Hmph. Took you long enough. I might not look it, but I'm a foodie, you know! Half-hearted cooking won't satisfy me!

The Fat Man stated as he began to think to himself.

Fat Man: (If I can shut down this place with a harsh critique, I'll make a fortune in reward money from its rival!) Now, where should I start, I wonder?

The Fat Man starts moving his fork as if he was selecting to eat first.

Fat Man: What a disgusting-looking bug!

Karyl: Wait.

Fat Man: Oh?

Pecorine: Karyl?

Karyl: The dish isn't complete yet.

Karyl then holds the lemon above the bug foods.

Karyl: A single drop of the blessed juice of this fruit will have you hearing a chorus of angels.

Karyl squeezes the lemonade as it drops a sprout of green liquid on the white-skinned larva until a magical rainbow glow

Fat Man: Th-This is...! Boy, this looks disgusting!

The Fat Man scoops up the white larva and eats it until his facial expression turns into a shocked one.

Fat Man: (Th-This is...!) Impossible!

The Fat Man starts to munch of all the bug food on the plates.

Fat Man: You've gotta be kidding! These are bugs! What is this harmony of rich umami and mellow flavor that spreads through my mouth with each bite?!

The Fat Man questions in shock which is surprised that it actually worked until The Fat Man starts to hold his head as if he was having a mental breakdown.

Fat Man: I...I hear it! I hear voices singing! It's...It's not...GRAAAHHH!!!! It's not...It's not...It's not...It's not...

Bugs: (Say it! Just say it!)

Fat Man: Say this food isn't any good at all! It's...It's...It's not...It's not...It's not...

Everyone around in the room felt tense to see if The Fat Man is satisfied with the food.

Suddenly, all of you can visibly see the four angels were slowly taking his consciousness out of his body.

Fat Man: It's so good!!

Everyone roared in victory after seeing the result of the Fat Man's satisfaction with eating the bug food.

Pecorine: We did it, Karyl!

Karyl: Heh!

(Y/N): (No absolute freaking way...)

You thought to yourself with an awed expression on your face and everyone thought it worked, but unfortunately...

Fat Man: Don't screw with me! There's no way these nasty bugs could taste good!

He then smashed the plates on the ground, leaving all of the food bugs on the ground.

Fat Man: I'll shut down any restaurant that serves bad food!

(Y/N): Hey buddy!

You yelled out as everyone turned their attention to you and you began to approach the fat man.

(Y/N): Good grief, I think you've already overstayed your welcome. It's best you 'oughta leave. Now.

You said in a serious tone as the Fat Man had an angry look on his face.

Fat Man: Oh yeah? What are you gonna do about it, boy? You here to kick me out?!

(Y/N): Heh, try punching me in the face if you want your little dissatisfaction to bug food as toxic as your own personality, you pig.

You said with a cocky smile on your face and hearing the "you pig" from the Fat Man got offended by it.

Fat Man: How dare you call me a pig!!

The Fat Man goes to punch you using his right hand as you stood your ground and take the fist into your face.

To everyone's shock, the punch didn't affect you until the Fat Man felt the pain of his knuckles as if he was punching a hard metal.

https://youtu.be/jJPnFAq13HY

(Y/N): What's wrong? Guess your punch didn't affect me at all.

The Fat Man goes for another punch using his left hand and hits you, but then again, he felt his left hand of his knuckles were also in pain upon contact.

Fat Man: Ggh...Just what the hell are you made out of?!

You let out a chuckle before speaking up.

(Y/N): Sorry, try figuring it out yourself.

Fat Man: What?!

Suddenly, you gave the Fat Man a gut punch as his expression had a shocked look on his face. He then knelt down and hold his gut in pain.

You held back your own strength because you didn't want to easily knock him out yet.

(Y/N): Now then, let me tell you something about food and the restaurants before I started throwing you out of here.

Everyone began to start listening.

(Y/N): Take an example of going to Hell's Kitchen, I could've gotten pro if I hadn't become a chef. I'm not like one of those crybaby chef pansies who got yelled at by an American madman! I could break the damn Karens with my own two bare hands! And besides...

You approached the Fat Man and continue speaking up.

(Y/N): It doesn't matter what kind of food you like or dislike, you just goddamn enjoy it and people can have their own damn opinions! Someone like you is just miserable in life! And don't even dare come back and mess with this restaurant's customers, their chefs, and even the managers!

You then kicked him out of the restaurant's front door using full power and it knocked out the Fat Man.

(Y/N): And the debate ends here, you scum!

You exclaimed with your fist clenched as you let out a deep sigh of relief as you turn around to see everyone having astonished looks on their faces.

(Y/N): (Uh...did I do it right?)

You thought to yourself with sweat dripping down on your face until everyone lets out a roar in victory and applauded at your words and action.

Charlie: You did it, Hero Boy!

The Little Girls: You're amazing!

You then looked at the Chef as he gives you a thumb up and an impressed look on his face.

That's when Pecorine, Yuuki, and Kokkoro came up to you with smiles on their faces.

Pecorine: That was amazing, (Y/N)! You're like a total chef hero!

Kokkoro: Yeah, the way how you did with your words which makes it a little inspiring.

Yuuki: *Thumb up* Agreed.

(Y/N): Ahaha, p-please stop with the praises! You guys are clearly flattering me!

You said with a slightly embarrassed look on your face as Pecorine, Kokkoro, and Yuuki kept their smiles at you.

-Time Skip-

Sunset came as the men started to repair the front doors of the restaurant.

Kokkoro: Ah, there it is.

Kokkoro then tries to grab the guild application paper on the ground, but Karyl grabs it before Kokkoro could.

Pecorine: Karyl?

Karyl looks at the guild application paper before speaking up.

Karyl: I guess I have no choice. You guys can't be trusted on your own, so I'll join your guild. You'd better be grateful.

Karyl says with a wink on her face and everyone was surprised at this until you let a chuckle.

(Y/N): Well, looks like the kitty cat got herself a home.

Karyl: Shut up!

Everyone lets out a small laugh at your joke.

-Mini Time Skip-

Later, Kokkoro, (Y/N) Kent, Yuuki, Pecorine, and Karyl were now officially registered of having a guild.

Pecorine: It's finally time to get started! Our objective is to be a guild that investigates and seeks out every type of cuisine and ingredient in this world and enjoys eating meals together.

(Y/N): Quite admirable, I must say.

Yuuki: Yup.

Eventually, the five of you arrived at the guild house that Karin told you where it was located.

Pecorine: We'll call it the Gourmet Guild! Now let's get started! From right here!
