Second Floor

Eiderburgh was located soon enough, or more precisely, he contacted Gutti directly.

After Gutti told Eiderburgh what had happened in the cafeteria, the Head Chef went silent for a second before taking a deep breath.

"Very well! 2567, you've passed my test! You are now a part of E Block cafeteria, but… without my permission, you cannot step into the transfer hub from now on!"

Even through the communicator, Gutti could picture Eiderburgh gnashing his teeth while saying those words.

Kieran, who had expected this outcome, placed the last piece of beef into his mouth before asking, "I am a food tester, but I cannot be in the hub, so where should I be?"

Expected but not accepted.

Kieran fought for his last hope, but unfortunately, Eiderburgh didn't care about Kieran's argument.

"You can be wherever you'd like to be! Just not in the food transfer hub!" 

The communicator was cut off after that.
