Chapitre 213: 213. Nekoya Restaurant
The blonde-haired waitress is a demon girl called Aletta. She works as a waitress at Nekoya's restaurant after accidentally sneaking into the restaurant at dawn on Saturday.
On this day, Nekoya got 6 new customers altogether. That was what she thought. Apparently, one of them who was an old lady went straight to the wizard called Artorius and she seemed acquainted with him. While the other five walked to their seats.
What was a little surprising to Aletta was that the appearances of Izumi, Tabane, and Hiiro had similar traits to the restaurant owners. When Aletta asked if they could speak western or not, a boy answered her with words she couldn't understand. Then the boy told Aletta to call her master, the restaurant owner.
Aletta went to the kitchen and told the restaurant owner. While pointing to the seats of Izumi and the others.
"That boy came? That's surprising since I closed the restaurant." Then, his gaze turned to another spot, and saw a familiar old lady. "I see. So, it's grandma who allowed them to come."
After he said that, he asked Aletta to deliver the order to the other customer. Then, he went to an old lady's seat while bringing the menu in kanji.
"Grandma?"
Meanwhile, Aletta picked up the dish from the customer to deliver it, she saw her master talking with the old lady for a moment who was talking with Artorius. Then he went to Izumi's seat.

Izumi saw the restaurant owner walk toward him while bringing something. Izumi said to him.
"Owner, did you prank us? Isn't this language more difficult than Russian or Greek?"
"Haha, sorry, sorry. You can see around you that the customers in this restaurant are not from our world, so I only serve the menu in their language. Moreover, some of the ingredients of the dishes on the menu came from their world. By the way, I told you I closed the restaurant today. Why do you insist on coming? If my grandmother wasn't here, you wouldn't be able to come in."
Hearing the restaurant owner's words, Izumi was slightly impressed. How come? The restaurant owner used ingredients from another world. It meant that he had experimented many times using ingredients from another world with different names, shapes, and perhaps tastes to make dishes from his world.
"You're unexpectedly dedicated." Izumi commented.
"Thank you for the praise. Anyway, this is the menu."
The owner handed the menu to Izumi, and Izumi handed it to the others so they could choose their dishes first.
Izumi didn't tell the owner the truth that he left the mark of the Jutsu formula in the restaurant. When he was in front of the restaurant, he was actually surprised when he sensed his Jutsu formula seemed to be in a different dimension. Izumi was sure that he couldn't feel the Jutsu formula he left in the ninja world. Thus, Izumi concluded that the inner restaurant was shifted to a different dimension between his world and the other world. Just like a different dimension created by Kamui of Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan.
The conversation between Izumi and the restaurant owner caught the attention of the people sitting near Izumi's seat and the others. They were the wizard Artorius, the swordsman Tatsugorou, and the half-Elf Victoria. The three of them hardly believe that Izumi and the others were from the same world as the restaurant owner.
When Izumi saw Karin wanted to choose a cake, he said,
"Karin-chan, if you want a cake, I have a lot in my house, you know."
"Eh, really? Big brother, you have a lot of cakes?" Karin stood up from her seat while looking at Izumi.
"Yup. My mother opened a cake shop beside my house. I didn't know you were interested in cakes, if I had known, I would have made you taste my cake or my mother's." Izumi replied with a nod. Then he carried on. "That's why you should order something other than cake."
At that moment, Hiiro asked.
"It's your treat, right?"
Izumi shook his head and replied.
"No, it's Rori who treats us."
"Since when do I need to treat you?" Rori responded lightly to him while resting her chin on her palm. Izumi shrugged his shoulders. Then, he said,
"Anyway, you can just choose anything you like. Except for the cake of course."
After Izumi mentioned the "cake", the restaurant owner asked him as he overheard Izumi's words.
"Excuse me, is our cake not to your liking?"
Izumi turned toward him and immediately apologized. He didn't mean to make fun of the cakes on the menu.
"I'm sorry, but I have my own cake shop. My mother graduated from Tootsuki, so you can imagine if the cakes in my shop are delicious or not. I'm also quite good at making cakes, although not as good as my mother."
"So, that's why."
Because Nekoya restaurant is quite close to his house, Izumi suggested the restaurant owner order cakes from the cake shop of Izumi's mother.
This was because there were several cakes on the restaurant menu, so Izumi made an offer to the restaurant owner. Izumi even brought along a flyer for his mother's cake shop with pictures of the various kinds of cakes that have been popular among the people lately. The owner of the restaurant accepted the flyer and said he would stop by when he had time.
Rori, Tabane, Karin, and Hiiro had already chosen the dishes on the menu, then Izumi also chose the dishes on the menu.
Seeing the restaurant owner return to the kitchen, Tabane started commenting on what Izumi had said earlier.
"To think you'd even try to offer cake at your cake shop."
"Well, I just wanted to introduce the cake shop. There's nothing wrong with trying to offer it to someone who hasn't tried it. This is the so-called marketing."
While both of them talking, Izumi felt the gaze from the side. It was the gaze of the half-Elf with silver hair, Victoria.
"What's wrong, miss?"
"No, I thought I heard it wrong. But it turns out you're coming from the same world as the restaurant owner."
"Oh, so you're interested in my world?"
"If I say I'm not interested, then it would be a huge lie."
Suddenly Tabane grabbed his arm and said to Victoria.
"Missy, don't try to hit him, he is mine!" She confidently said that with a smile. Izumi himself didn't expect Tabane to become this aggressive. Izumi chopped her head in annoyance.
"I belong to no one!"
Victoria could only chuckle at their behavior and said.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb your relationship. I'm just curious about what you said to the owner."
"Oh, you mean cake?"
"Yeah, I saw the picture you gave to the owner. The cake looks interesting."
"Well, if you want, you can ask the owner! He can come to my shop before Saturday."
"Can I have the picture you gave to the owner?"
"Sure, I have some. Here!"
Izumi and Victoria talked to each other about the kinds of cakes sold in his mother's shop while handing Victoria a flyer. He also explained a little about the cakes in the flyer.
Their conversation was interrupted when Aletta delivered the dishes ordered by Izumi and the others. Since the dishes arrived, Victoria and Izumi decided to put off their conversation.
Izumi and the others place their palms together while praying. Then, they devoured their dishes together.
Everyone who didn't know Izumi was taken aback when he devoured so many dishes as if he wasn't a human. His stomach seemed to have a black hole sucking all the dishes into it.
*burp*
It didn't take long, the food he ordered had run out with more than 20 plates piled on his table. Rori started to talk while looking at the plates and Izumi.
"As always, you looked so abnormal when you swallowed them all."
"These cost money, you know? If I didn't have an income, I wonder if I can handle my food expense."
"That's your fault for becoming a dragon slayer."
"How do I know if the dragon slayer magic needs a lot of food as energy?"
Izumi did get dragon slayer magic from the chest reward without any side effects like the other dragon slayers, motion sickness. Still, by acquiring that magic, Izumi needed quite a lot of energy. That was why he ate a lot of food to convert as energy.
Actually, he could have consumed water as energy. However, he prefers food because it can indulge his sense of taste. Except, when there is no other choice.
Anyhow, their conversation was heard by Artorius, Tatsugorou, and Yomi. The three of them heard Izumi mention magic they had never heard before, dragon slayer magic. They could already guess what that magic was just by hearing its name. Though, they didn't know what kind of magic could kill a dragon. More importantly, they wondered how they had such power after learning that Yomi lived in a normal world without monsters. Artorius and Tatsugorou were the same as Yomi, both of them could feel the power in the bodies of Izumi's group. Especially Rori who was the same or maybe more powerful than Yomi when Yomi was still in her prime. Especially, since she is a former hero.
Artorius is the most powerful wizard in his world. He already knew and studied the magic spells that existed in his world, whether in the current era or the ancient era. However, the dragon slayer magic mentioned by Izumi piqued Artorius' interest which made him approach Izumi's group despite knowing that there was someone powerful in Izumi's group.
