(Amelia's Pov)
"Amelia, atleast finish your lunch!" exclaimed my mom.
"I am fine mom, I am getting late! I will eat something at restaurant."
I am Amelia of 18 years old, I was raised by my mother. My father left us all alone when I was born. He had affairs with another woman. However, My mother worked at Medical shop and took good care of me since then. I am a manager of the restaurant known as Moonlight Feast Restaurant and allowed my mother to rest and get retired. I don't want to put burden on her anymore.
"But you know very well that the foods at restaurant can make you ill." said my mother.
"Come on mom, it won't happen."
"You always say that!"
"Okay bye mom!"
I opened the front door and left hurriedly as I am getting late.
"Fresh air!"
I got excited for a while because there are so many plants and trees in this city. I love them so much. I always get refreshed whenever I see these plants and trees. I am glad I stay at Sky City.
After few minutes later, I arrived at restaurant.
"Goodmorning Amelia! How are you feeling now? You took some days off so I was getting worried. You didn't even replied my message." said Rosie
She is Rosie, she is my best friend who also works at this restaurant. Professional life may be different but in our personal life, we are too close.
"Ah yeah, I guess I ate so much fast food. Haha." I replied as I couldn't stand her angry face that was so normal a second ago.
"That's why I told you! I told you to avoid it you know!" she exclaimed.
"It's alright. Jeez, you are so stubborn. I am fine, see?" I replied.
"Hm, I hope you get a boyfriend who could strictly stop you from doing anything reckless." said Rosie.
"Eh? What are you saying? I...I don't need any boyfriend!"
Then a smirk appeared on Rosie's face.
"Hahaha, I like to tease you and your embarassed face looks cute enough." she replied.
"Okay, enough!" I felt the embarassment from inside.
"Okay okay."

Part 2- Meanwhile somewhere at Sky City...
(Third Person's Pov)
A figure appeared at the entrance of Sky City. He has gray hair, white casual outfit, a sword strapped behind his back. He is none other than Jef himself.
"Are you sure about this? Does that girl named Amelia really lives here?" asked Jef.
"Yes sir, we had confirmed that she was at the restaurant when our leader visited the restaurant. CCTV systems got corrupted just after the smoke occurred at the restaurant." said Zenin Member.
"I see. Come with me, I may need your help just in case." said Jef.
"Yes sir!"
Zenin organisation was founded by the so called Netori King, who is not alive anymore. Jef suspected three members and one of them is Amelia. Jef is here to meet Amelia.
Jef and his one subordinate began to move towards the Moonlight Feast Restaurant. After few minutes laters, they arrived at the restaurant.
"Let's go inside."
"Yes sir!"
They went inside the restaurant and they saw many customers as well as staff members like waiters, chef etc.
Jef and his subordinate sat on the chair as they began to observe their surroundings. Just after few minutes after their arrival, customers began to leave the restaurant.
"Sir, why they all are leaving all at once?"
Jef gestured his subordinate to stop saying anything. A waiter served some drinks and left, the subordinate was thirsty so he took the glass as he was going to drink but-
"Hey, don't drink that. Just act as if you are drinking it."
"Ah, but..."
"Either you die or live, it doesn't matter to me." said Jef, giving the slight hint that something is mixed in the drinks.
Both Jef and his subordinate acted as if they were drinking. When all of the customers left, Jef started to speak to his subordinate.
"Now listen carefully, I want you to leave this place and be prepared for the plan as we had already discussed before. Also, if I don't come outside of this restaurant in five minutes then call the men to come inside this restaurant." said Jef.
"But sir-"
"We don't have much time, go after that last customer. I will take care of some business here first. Just do as I say because it's my order, understood?" said Jef.
"O-Okay sir, please take care of yourself."
The subordinate left the restaurant and now there were staff members now. One of the staff member, a waiter was smiling as his eyes were locked on Jef. Jef calmly observed this.
Suddenly, the waiter threw the sharp cleaver knife to the direction of Jef. Jef calmly moved his head on the left and the cleaver struck the wall as it got stuck on it. Jef stood up from his seat while he put the glass on the table.
"Ten waiters, Ten Chefs, total twenty members. Perhaps, twenty two members since two of them aren't visible at this moment." said Jef calmly.
"....."
The staff members just watched Jef with cold blooded eyes.
Two chef closed the distance and attacked side to side with cleaver. Jef smoothly dodged every attack and hit both chef with his kicks. One of the waiter tried to perform vertical slash but it was stopped by Jef, he used his sword to defend himself. Jef pushed the waiter a little bit and thrust his sword in the heart of that waiter.
"One is dead..." said Jef.
One of the chef used leaf blades, a magic ability to inflict damage. Jef swiftly moved aside as he closed the distance to the nearby waiter and slashed his neck. The neck of that waiter may not have been detached from the body but he was still dead. He struggled for a while but then finally dead.
"Give up already, I am not here for you. I am here for that girl, Amelia." said Jef.
