Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Memories That Doesn't Want To Remember
Tian Dou City, Tian Dou City's Streets.
As soon as the employee finished the process of taking care of Ciel, Shirou got various papers such as a birth certificate, and other letters. Shirou didn't wait long and immediately rushed out of the Ran Li Pavilion with Ciel walking behind him like a master as well as a servant.
"Hey, have you eaten?" Shirou asked still in a hoarse tone since he was currently still wearing a mask to cover his true appearance.
Ciel was a little hesitant to answer this question from Shirou, especially since he had just been bought by Shirou. Besides, it would be terrible for a servant to ask their Master for something, especially since he had just been bought by Shirou. Shirou who heard there was no answer immediately said, "Don't be nervous, if I ask a question, you answer honestly."
Ciel nodded and said, "Okay, Master…. Hmm~ Actually Sir, I haven't eaten since this afternoon, I haven't gotten any food ration from where I lived before"
"Okok~ Then, let's find something to eat first. I also coincide not have dinner. After that, we can go to the clothing store to find clothes for you to wear after we eat."
Shirou immediately led Ciel towards the Tian Dou Restaurant which was close to the Ran Li Pavilion. Arriving in front of the Tian Dou Restaurant, Ciel was very surprised by the size and also the building of the Tian Dou Restaurant. Ciel turned to Shirou, "Master… Are we going to eat here?" Ciel said in a nervous tone since he saw a lot of luxurious horse carriages beside the Tian Dou Restaurant.
Shirou nodded and said, "Yes. The food here is good enough for us to eat. Let's go inside, hopefully, there will be an empty VIP room for both of us to use."
Ciel nodded with a stunning face as he looked at Shirou who had walked in front of him. Ciel followed Shirou and thought, "Could it be that Master has a very strong background?"
Just as Shirou and Ciel had entered the Tian Dou Restaurant, one of the employees saw Shirou's arrival, "Welcome to Tian Dou Restaurant, Table for two?" The employee said politely since the clothes Shirou and Ciel were wearing looked really good. If Ciel wore the clothes he wore earlier, it was likely that Ciel would be immediately kicked out of the Restaurant.
Shirou nodded and immediately took out his Tian Dou bank card and said, "I want a VIP room." The
employee was a little surprised but he quickly smiled and said, "Okay. Please come with me"
Shirou nodded and said, "Come on, Ciel" "
Yes sir" Ciel said politely and immediately followed Shirou and the employee to the room Shirou ordered with eyes full of admiration because this was the first time he had seen such a majestic building. and has a variety of very beautiful decorations.

Tian Dou Restaurant, VIP Room 7.
Arriving at VIP room 7, Shirou and Ciel immediately walked towards the seats while the employees went to the side corner of the room to take the food menu. Shirou took a seat at the head position while Ciel himself did not dare because according to the rules he had learned a slave could not sit at the same table with his master. That's why he stood staring at Shirou waiting for orders.
Shirou who saw this just raised his brow, "Why don't you sit down?" Shirou asked casually but still maintained his hoarse voice.
"Sir…, I await orders"
"Orders?" Shirou thought and suddenly he remembered something. Shirou sighed and looked at Ciel saying, "Forget about what you learned from the Pavilion. Make yourself comfortable, you can sit now. We will eat together."
Ciel was a little surprised by Shirou's words, he still didn't dare to sit at the same table as Shirou since he was now a slave. Shirou who saw the doubt on Ciel's face immediately said in a commanding tone, "Then Ciel. I order you to sit at the same table as me. Now!"
"Yes sir." Ciel nodded and sat down on the seat beside Shirou.
Seeing Ciel who had already taken his seat, the previous employee had also come and handed Shirou and Ciel two menus of food. Shirou immediately ordered the food he ate earlier. As for Ciel, who entered the Tian Dou Restaurant for the first time, he was very surprised by the price of the food on the menu.
"15 souls gold coin fried chicken? Stir-fried vegetables 10 gold soul coins? This…" Ciel thought hesitantly about ordering food because of the price of the food on the menu.
The employee who had finished writing down the menu that Shirou ordered immediately turned to look at Ciel with a smile and said, "Have you ordered sir?"
Ciel was surprised by the employee's words, Ciel raised his head and looked at the employee, after that he looked at Shirou and said, "Sir..., Can I come with you to eat here?"
Shirou raised his brows and said, "Is something wrong?"
Ciel shook his head quickly as he said nervously, "It's just that, I see the price of food here is too expensive…, I-I feel that I am not suitable to come to eat here"
"Don't think too much about it, I invited you to come here. You just order what food you want, later I will pay for it all. The food here is also quite good, the price of the food is also comparable to the taste of the food we will get" Shirou said in a relaxed tone.
"Good enough?" The employee frowned slightly at Shirou's comment. However, he chose to remain silent.
"But---"
Ciel wanted to try to give his opinion, but Shirou cut him off immediately, "Ciel, this is an order! You can order whatever you want" Shirou said in a suppressed voice.
Ciel was slightly silent and immediately nodded. Ciel immediately looked back at the menu he was holding and immediately chose the cheapest food menu, namely stir-fried vegetables, white rice, and water to the employees. Shirou who heard the order ordered by Ciel couldn't help but sigh.
The employee who had finished writing the order looked at Shirou and said, "Sir, is that all?"
"You make every copy I ordered earlier into 3 copies. One copy in a pack and two copies served in this room?" Shirou said as he thought of Lily who was at the hotel.
The employee nodded and immediately changed the number of orders Shirou ordered. After he finished, the employee looked at Shirou and Ciel while saying, "I have written all the orders. Sir, please wait a moment, we will process all of this soon."
"Okay" Shirou and Ciel nodded.
The employee immediately walked out of VIP room number 7 and went to the kitchen to report the order to the cook in charge. After seeing the employee leave, Shirou immediately turned his attention to Ciel and said, "Ciel, I want to ask you something. You may or may not answer this question. This question itself is just a curiosity of mine to you."
"Please ask, sir. I'll try to answer it."
"How did you become a Slave?" Shirou asked in a slightly suppressed tone.
Ciel was very surprised by this question from Shirou. He didn't expect that the question Shirou would ask was about how he became a slave. A memory of the past immediately flashed back in Ciel's memory when Shirou asked that question, Ciel's hand immediately clenched into a fist at the memory.
Shirou who was not far from Ciel saw Ciel's gesture, Shirou immediately said, "If the question is disturbing enough or brings back memories that you don't want, you don't need to answer the question. That question is just a little bit of my curiosity as to why you became a Slave. I'm sorry for asking you about that."
Ciel suddenly woke up to Shirou's words. He didn't expect that even Shirou himself would apologize to him. Ciel hastily shook his head and said, "Master there is no need to apologize. It's just that the question that Master asked earlier slightly brought back memories that I don't want to recall. I apologize for not being able to answer this question… It's not that I don't want to answer, sir. It's just, I'm still not ready to answer why I can be like this. I beg your pardon, sir." Ciel hastily stood up and bowed to Shirou as his hands clenched into fists.
Shirou shook his head and said, "No problem. I've said it before, haven't I? I'm asking like that purely out of curiosity for a 6-year-old kid like you to become a slave. You can forget this question, I'm sorry too for my guilt. Come on, you raise your head back."
Ciel immediately calmed down with Shirou's words, Ciel raised his head again and said, "Thank you sir for understanding. I'll try to answer this question when I'm ready to tell it."
"It doesn't matter, you take your time to think and try to calm yourself down. You can go back to your seat."
"Thank you, Master." Ciel bowed slightly and immediately sat back in his seat while looking at Shirou and said in a nervous tone, "Ano, Master. May I ask you something?"
Shirou nodded and said, "Go ahead."
"Sorry if that was a little presumptuous. I want to ask, why do you want to buy me? Even though Master himself can buy other slaves who are better than me"
Shirou smiled at this question from Ciel, Shirou immediately said casually, "Do you really want to hear the reason why I bought you?"
Ciel nodded and said, "I want to hear it, Master. I have thought of this reason before. However, until now I haven't received an answer as to why Master wants to buy me"
"Thinking of a reason? Interesting ~ Looks like Ciel not only has a very scary martial soul, but he is also a child who has a genius that is quite high compared to the average child" Shirou thought happily because he didn't buy Ciel wrong from the slave trader.
