Dealing with a few good-for-nothing, bullying punks who pick on the weak doesn't require any magic skills; a small fist breaking the sound barrier will make them understand the sorrow of the weak!
At this moment, Young Miss Rin walked confidently towards the entrance of the "Shino" restaurant (readers who don't know the origin of this restaurant name had better Google it, because what follows is an endless stream of parody, and without mental preparation, you might be shocked).
"Click."(The sound of a door opening, not something breaking.)
"Welcome."
A receptionist with a serene, capable, and graceful demeanor opened the door for Young Miss Rin. Seeing that Young Miss Rin was just a child and not accompanied by an adult or elder, she couldn't help but ask, "Miss, are you alone?"
"Yes, just me."
"Then, please come this way."
The female receptionist, her smile unchanged, guided Young Miss Rin to a small two-person table by the window.
Huh? Shouldn't she be coaxing me like a child to find my parents? I was ready to pull out my wallet and show off... Young Miss Rin, slightly puzzled, couldn't help but glance at the female receptionist again. As her gaze swept over the name tag on her chest, she saw her name: Gao Wei. Why does she sound Chinese? Below the name was her position: Front Desk Manager!
Young Miss Rin couldn't help but feel a little favorably towards her. A front desk manager shouldn't be in the main hall or a small room drinking tea and reading the newspaper, only showing up when something happens in the hall. Why is she personally greeting guests, and without judging people by their appearance? Rare. In that case, I'll order two more dishes.
But why does the name Gao Wei sound a bit familiar? Did she appear in the original story? Why can't I recall any impression of her when I think back to the original story?
As soon as Young Miss Rin opened the menu, she was dazzled. Why dazzled? Because she couldn't understand it. It wasn't that she couldn't read the words; with her "language of communication with all things," Young Miss Rin could understand not only French and Japanese, but even Elvish and Dragonic. But... "Seared Veal Shank with Tender Giant Grape," "Bordeaux Armored Crayfish Mediterranean Aroma," "Quail Stuffed Pilaf with Egg Arrogant Brat Style"... Young Miss Rin recognized every single word on the menu, but put together, she didn't recognize a single one... Huh? Why does the name of the last dish look so familiar?
"Quail Stuffed Pilaf with Egg Arrogant Brat Style"... "Quail Stuffed Pilaf with Egg Arrogant Brat Style"... Eh! Isn't this!?
Suddenly, a strong electric current flashed through her mind. Young Miss Rin suddenly remembered something, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Trembling like a rusty machine, she turned her head to look at Young Miss Gao Wei, who was waiting for her to order.
"Um, excuse me, who is the manager of your establishment?..."
Hearing Young Miss Rin's question, Young Miss Gao Wei immediately showed a proud smile, "Our manager is also our head chef, Shinomiya Kojiro."
Those five words were like five bolts of lightning! Instantly, they struck Young Miss Rin from her crown to her body, leaving her charred outside and tender inside!
Shiba! Is this a joke of the world! Or the malice of the counter force! No! This is definitely the author's sick sense of humor!!!
Why would a slice-of-life gourmet anime be shoved into a hellish place like Moon World! If I get caught up in an incident, I can't even save the original story characters, there's no time to save you all!
But the problem is, they are already here... Forget it, thinking about this is completely meaningless. Since they're from a professional gourmet series, not eating would be a waste of heavenly resources. I'll worry about future matters later. Since this is his restaurant... "Please bring me one of each from the 'Chef's Specials' page."
This time, it was Gao Wei who was stunned. She couldn't help but quietly confirm with Young Miss Rin, "Are you sure you want all of them?"
"Yes, all of them!"
"Alright, understood. Please wait a moment."
After ordering, Young Miss Rin watched the receptionist leave somewhat flustered with the order slip and muttered, "Given my current situation, a few dishes shouldn't be a problem, right?"
That's right, no wonder it felt familiar yet had no impression in the original story. This restaurant itself shouldn't exist in this Moon World. This is an existence from a gourmet anime world called 'Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma.' I don't know if it's a parallel self from another world, or if this world was truly messed with by some force, but in any case, they exist here without any sense of incongruity.
I just left home and encountered Food Wars; what else will pop up next? I want Moon World, not some random parody!
I wonder if Tokyo also has a Totsuki Academy where only a few people graduate each year... Uh!
Young Miss Rin, who was just complaining in her mind, looked around the restaurant's decor. She happened to see a large photo frame hanging on the wall directly opposite the door. Inside was a red-haired young man wearing glasses, and below the photo was written: "79th Generation First Seat of Totsuki Academy."
"Thump!" Young Miss Rin's forehead instantly made a harsh, intimate contact with the glass tabletop.
