chapter 3 it's you!!
"Thank god! your not late!!"Rika exclaims seeing her best friend in the changing room. Emi nodded lazily as her tired eyes guides her to the door.
"I finished some homework last night"She muttered tiredly. Rika just chuckle slapping Emi's shoulder to wake her up.
"There's no customer right now how about you rest ok? boss isn't here yet anyway"Emi decline the idea but Rika forcefully pushes her inside the staff room then wave her hand with a smirking face then closed the door.
"what's wrong Rika?"a co-worker asked
"Nah it's nothing, Emi's resting.. I'll cover her's for a while" she said and starts to help the others. meanwhile the sleepy Emi can no longer hold on and makes her way to the couch then drifts to sleep.
"My liege, how was the dinner last night?"Ashiya asked.
Maou simply answered with a" Hmm, it's good " then continues to scan his paperworks on the desk. Ashiya who is worried for Maou takes out a flyer from his hand then handed it to Maou.
"What's this?" Maou asked gazing at the big capital letters that spells 'Ente isla'
"I got this down the streets, how about you take a break and I'll handle the rest?"He suggested.
"No, I'm finishing today's work"Maou just bluntly cut him off. He gave back the Flyer to Ashiya and continue to scan at his paperworks. On the other hand Ashiya isn't giving up. He puts the flyer at his usual table where he rest and left the office.
Not long lunch came Maou's phone keeps ringing from Chiho's messages of her telling him to have lunch. After half heartedly replying back he moves to his usual seat and take out a cold drink from his mini bar.
sigh...
Glancing down on the busy streets Maou can only describe his day as 'normal' working until he gets tired then returns to his apartment at night alone and sometimes visit his daughter and Girlfriend at dinner or family events.
But somehow Alas-ramus hasn't been calling for him. He can only think of two things, either she's grown up or she's to down to even talk with someone.
He let out another sign and reaches to the table for his drink until his eyes caught the flyer that Ashiya gave him.
didn't I told him—ah whatever
He reaches to the flyer and again seeing the big capital letters of Ente isla
who would name their restaurant that?
He thought, staring at the flyer longer he felt a weird feeling from it though he cannot feel any curse, demon aura or holy power he felt the needs to check the place out. He glances at his wall clock to check the remaining time for lunch.
12:34... I'll just order a take out and return here..
"Emi you finishing up there?" a busy co-worker ask seeing that Emi is bringing in empty use dishes to the kitchen.
"Y-yes! just 3 more tables to clean!!!"
"Ah!Emi! I'll handle the cleaning, can you deliver this to table 5?!!!"
"Eh!ahy-yes!"
Emi hurriedly delivers the food tray to table 5 and helps the others on taking orders. Not long another customer arrive. Emi swifts her attention to the new customer, greeting the new customer with a smile.
Maou stood tall near the Ente isla restaurant, the flyer is still in his hand. He stared at the restaurant with his eyes wide open, the welcoming and yet familiar vibe that lingers in the restaurant lures Maou to enter.
Giving out, he enters the restaurant and his face with it's amazing interior. Maou gape at the sight, describing it as breathtaking. Staring like a child, his eyes spots a bookshelf. he walk closer to it scanning the books it holds.
"Sir, can I guide you to your table?"A sudden voice surprises Maou making him swiftly turn.
"Ah ye—"He completely cut himself of when he got a full view of the girl in front of him. Her long magenta hair, her bright yellow greenish eyes that reflects his own, everything all so familiar to him.
-beat—
"Sir?" Maou felt a beat from his frozen heart, a beat that he thought he'll never hear, a beat that he forgotten six years ago.
Maou can only look at her passionately as his heart beats so fast. Tho the girl keeps calling for him his surroundings became nothing but her.
Why?... it's her...right?... what's happening...why do I feel this way?... shouldn't I be angry? why am I not saying anything?
"Sir? are you ok?"
Her voice...how I miss that voice...
"Sir?" cutting him off from his thoughts Maou shakes his head clearing the questions from his mind. He scan the girl in front of him from head to toe landing in her name tag that spells ' Emi '
It... can't..be, right?
"Sir, is there a problem ?" she asked worriedly
"Ah—y-yeah, I-I.. I'll dine—" Maou's words were all over the place, Making him fluster.
"Yes, follow me sir" She guided him to a room far from the busy groups of customers. Maou look surprise to see an Empty and quiet room which is filled with single and two seated table.
"This, seem to be another room—
"Oh yes, I thought you wanted a quieter place to dine, was I wrong?"
"N-no, I...yes, I do have trouble with the noise...thank you—" She expressed herself with a sweet smile then guided Maou to his table.
While his eyes lingers to her, a deep and painful pain seems to stab Maou's heart. His thoughts became darker as he keeps grasping his chest.
...why...is she smiling...why...she acts as if she doesn't know me...me...her nemesis...
"...s...s...sir...Sir?" his thoughts were cut of from her voice. He quickly turn to see her standing in front of him with the menu.
"Are you ok?"
"Y-yes, just, deep in thoughts—"
"Oh— sorry to disturb"
"N—no, ah—I'll be ordering now"She gladly handed him the menu.
"I'll take..." Maou nervously scan the menu, which is filled with western food he NEVER tried. Not knowing what to choose he started to panic deciding to either make a run for it or just randomly pick.
"Ah I'll—" He heard a small chuckle from his side.
--beat--
"Your having trouble aren't you?"
"Ah—y-yeah—"He nervously avoids her gaze and scratch his nose"I won't be long here, so i want something easy...like a desert?"
"How about trying our New York Baked Cheesecake? it's our specialty!"
after Maou's fourth servings, a satisfied look is plastered in his face. He scans the room which is slowly filling up with customers. Feeling satisfied he tries to catch a glimpse of ' Emi ' but to no avail she's seem no longer in the room. He catch another waiter's attention and ask for his bill. Not long the boy arrive with his bill, which he paid with a tip.
exiting, he takes another glance at Ente Isla before walking away, disappearing to the crowd completely.
