years later Moon is now 20
as the ship docked I smiled at the crew that helped me get to this island and gave a bow and a thank you for getting me this far.
"it's not a problem but are you sure you want to stay on this island," asked the captain
"yes and thank you again," I said
"alright. just remember what we said about the pirate running things around here. and stay safe alright" he said and his crew cheered agreeing
"alright thank you for your help," I say as I grabbed my bag and walked to the entrance gate of the island. as I got there I saw a tiger mink guarding the door
"who goes there" he asked as I walked closer sword out. once he saw I was not going to attack his stance got less tense but he still didn't relax
"hello" I started "I would like to talk to the ruler of the island and ask if I may live here" I bowed not lowering my defense and still making sure I was aware of my surroundings
"very well if you would please step over here and sign here." he said as he handed me a clipboard. I smiled and nodded and sighed in once done he checked my things andcalled someone else who started to lead me threw the gates and to the castle. I smiled at the villagers who gave me confused looks and later smiled at me when they saw my smile. once we were a little closer to the castle the gates opened and let us pass and walk into the castle.
once inside we walked pastdoors after the doors until we got to a huge door. two little chess-themed men opened the door for us to enter. and inside a woman surrounded by talking food, trees, and other things was sitting on a huge throne to accommodate her giant self. as we got closer to her she smiled at us as she ate a singing piece of cake.
"Mama this young lady wish's to get citizenship to your islands," said the man leading me as he bowed. I copied him and bowed to her.
"MAMA" she laughed as she took another bite "and why do you wish to get citizenship," she asked me
"I wish to get citizenship to your island because I have nowhereelse to go," I say "I come traveling alone and I wish to start a business here in your island"
"and what business would you wish to start," she asked
"I wish to open a restaurant," I say "I will follow any and all rules you have if you would grant me citizenship to this island" I begged her she paused and started to think. I waited for her to respond.
"very well..." she starts. I looked up from my bow "BUT you must pay taxes like everyone else" she says
"yes of course" I say as I stood from my bow
after that, I ended up buying a small shop on the corner ofSweet City. Big Mom ended up letting me stay in exchange for a part of my soul. I agreed. and now that brings us to here. its been a month since then and just last weekI opened my restaurant. people from the area tried my food and told more people to come and more people from Sweet City started to come. the shop doing great from when I started. I sold sweets such as cakes and other desserts but I also sold some common Japanese sweets that people here have never seen before.
word got around so fast that now I see some of Big Moms' children coming around and ordering all kinds of things.
some of them even order large orders that would make me work all night and day. but to be honest the smile on children's face and the look people get when they eat my food always makes my day. food such as desserts I make was never part of my life since my father. the number 2 hero in japan. though of things like this were a distraction to being the number one hero.
"hello" someone called from the front of the restaurant as I cooked. I peeked over and smiled when I saw my favorite customer, Charlotte Anana.
"Anana. it good to see you again" I say as I walked out from the back making sure everything was ok with the rest of the cooks.
"Hello miss Todoroki" she smiled at me
"and how may I help you today dear," I asked,
"my big brother ate some of yourHoney Toast and he wanted me to get more" she smiled at me "he wanted me to order 5 big boxes of them," she said holding out her hand which had enough money for the Boxes
"well of course" I smiled as I took the money and write the order down "now does my favorite customer want to try my new creation," I asked her she instantly nodded her head as I started to lead her to the seat by the window. her spot.
"alright you sit here with your guard and I will bring it out alright," I say with a smile she nodded and sat down. I walked to the display case and took out 2 slices ofSteamed Cake and walked over and placed it down in front of her and her guard "here you go dear. now if you'll excuse me I have to get started on your brother's order"
"ok. Brother says he would like them when he comes back. he said he would be back in 3 days" she said as she looked threw her bag taking out money for the sweets I just gave her "can I have more of this one" she asked
"alright and don't worry about the price for this little order dear. after all, you do spend a lot of time here eating" I say as I pat her head and giving the guard a nod going back to the kitchen.
when Anana returned home she had her guard carry 2 boxes of sweets from Moons Restaurant. as she walked into her home also known as the castle in the middle of Sweet City one of her older siblings namedCharlotte Galette stopped her before she could go to her room.
"what do you have there Anana," she asked her with a smile looking at the boxes
"I brought sweets," she said looking up at her
"do you mind if I try one dear," she asked her youngest sister. the little girl nodded and the guard opened the box showing theSteamed Cakes that were inside.Galette picked one up and took a bite. not even a moment her eyes widened and a blush appeared on her face as she whispered 'delicious' and finished the rest in another bite
"do you like it" asked Anana. Galettesmiled at the little girl
"I love it. where did you get them from, I've never seen a snack like this before" she asked,
"I got it from a new shop in the corner of the city," she said as the guard took the rest of the sweets to the little girl's room. the woman crouched down and gave the girl a bow
" I would like to accompany you tomorrow and have a look at this new shop" she smiled the girl just nodded and went to her room to eat the snacks that she got
the next day I was making the sweets that Anana asked for, as I was some of the cooks I hired shoed up
"hello Todoroki how is your morning" asked Maxwell as he set his things down
"stressful," I say as I put in the next ingredient "I making a big order for one of Big Moms children and I'm having a hard time since I am almost out of ingredients"
"if you want I can go get them" he offered
"it's fine I kinda have to buy some other things today," I say remembering I needed more make up to cover up the scars on my face and arms "I'm about to leave can you make sure that these come out ok," I asked as I wiped my hands on my apron he just nodded as I took it off and grabbed my bag and a little cart and walked out with a wave
I walked around the other shops getting ingredients and placing them in my cart. I got to the makeup shop and smiled at the oldwoman in front
"oh your back so soon" she asked with a smile
"yes I am sorry I keep coming up so much." I say with a blush
"oh I feel like you might come more often than my daughter does and she comes every week" she laughed "but nevermind that. here is your order dear." she said as she pointed at the 2 boxes on the floor
"thank you so much" I say as I picked them up "I don't know what I would do without it"
"it's not a problem. get home safely now" she said as I started to walk to my shop.
"MISS TODOROKI" someone yelled from behind me. I turned and saw it was Anana she was walking next to a woman I never met before and 3 more guards than normal
"Anana how are you," I say as I waited for her to catch up. I smiled at the woman "hello I'm Tododroki Moon" I said as I bowed
"Hello I amCharlotte Galette," she said with a nod to my bow
"oh please forgive me I didn't know you where Anana's older sibling"
"it's fine"
"Miss Tododoroki" Anana interrupted "what are you doing out," she asked "you are always at the shop," she said
"oh I came to get some ingredients for your brothers' order dear," I said with a smile "and where are you headed so early in the morning"
"big sis wanted to come and try some of the snacks at your shop," she said as we started to walk to my restaurant, "she said so after she tried the Steamed Cake you gave me yesterday"
"I'm glad," I said as I smiled at both ladies "please come in," I said as I unlocked the door and changed the closed sign into an open one " is there anything you want right now"
"can I have that Sesame cookieyou gave me last time" I nodded and went and got it for them. once I handed it over to them and a little extra for there guards. I went back to work on the big order for Anana.
hours later when it was time to close Anana walked up to me with a confused look. she looked up to me and handed me the money for what she ate
"oh honey I thought you already left," I say as I gave her a small hug
"Big sis wanted to try all of the snacks." she explained "she likes them all"
"well that's good," I say as I walked her back to her sisterGalette "thank you for coming but I am afraid I have to close for today," I say with a small bow and smile
"very well."Galette says as she gets up from her seat along with her guards "I would like to say that all your sweets were quite good and I would like to place an order ofApollo chocolate that you gave us"
"yes I will have them ready for you tomorrow along with the other sweets that Anana ordered" I bowed
"very well. I shall see you tomorrow then"
for the next hours, I worked to get all the orders done and around 3 I finished and went to sleep. but before I did I looked out the window as I took off my make up.
"I wonder how you are Shoto" I whispered as I finished taking off my make up. I turned to the mirror and started with a frown and then glare.
when I opened the shop 5 guards came in and asked for theCharlotte orders.
"here you go," I say as I gave them all the boxes that they ordered "oh and I made an extra one for Anana since she liked them so much. its the top one"
"thank you for your service we will make sure they get to the castle safely
"alright thank you very much" i said as i waved with a bandage covered hand
