Chapter 4

Yuu sighed, wiping the sweat off his neck with a towel nearby. While he may run a multi-universe restaurant, he didn't have any powers besides that perk in order to defend himself.

"Eh? I can't find his Ki anywhere!"

Goku immediately started looking around, fingers on his forehead.

"Apologies about that, Goku-sama, but he was about to erase me entirely, I quickly escorted him from this restaurant."

Yuu bowed, before putting the towel down.

"Y-you have the power to simply shrug off a destroyer god?"

Vegeta was pointing at Yuu, dumbfounded.

"Yes, Vegeta-sama, as long as I am in this restaurant, I have the power to teleport you back to your universe."

"What kind of technique is that?"

"This is not a technique, but more of an ability I have, as to be honest, I can not fight. As you can tell, I have no Ki, and I am not trained in fighting at all."

"So what would happen if I were to destroy you on the spot before you can cast me out of the restaurant?"

Whis spoke up, pointing his staff towards Yuu. Yuu merely smiled.

"I would be dead, but I know you can not do that, Whis-sama, as you are an Angel, and you can not take actions like that, can you?"

Whis smiled, before nodding his head.

"You would be correct in that matter."

"What do you mean Whis?"

"I'll explain later Goku-san."

"Well, that is all 4 questions used up. Is there anything else I may help you with?"

"Nope! I'm fine, thanks for asking Yuu!"

Goku grinned.

"N-no, I shall not partake."

Vegeta was stuttering. Yuu smiled a little.

"Vegeta-sama, you can relax around here. This place is a restaurant in the end, and I will not resort to kicking you from here, as long as you behave that is."

Vegeta stiffly nodded his head.

'Looks like it will take a while for him to get used to everything.'

"Actually, I was wondering if I could partake in a dessert?"

Whis spoke up, a smile on his face.

"Sure, what would you like?"

"Hmm, Goku-san, please recommend me a dessert from Earth."

"R-right! Uhm, let's see..."

Goku pondered for a bit, before hitting his palm with a fist.

"I got it! How about Mochi Ice Cream?"

"Mochi...Ice Cream?"

"Yeah! It's small, but it comes in different flavors, and it's super good!"

"Then, if you don't mind Yuu-san."

"No problem Whis-sama! I'll get started!"

Yuu pulled out a white bandana, before wrapping it around his forehead and walking into the kitchen. Goku and Whis followed while Vegeta chose to simply lean against a wall.

Yuu looked at the two following him and looked at them, his face hardening.

"It's okay for you guys to watch, and I will explain along the way, but please try to ask the questions later, and please try not to disturb me. That is all I ask for."

Goku eagerly nodded while Whis simply hummed in response.

"Ah, I should also mention that each of these appliances here is a bit special, as I can control how long it takes for them to do something. For example, I can put a cup of water in the freezer and ask it to freeze for 5 hours, and it will turn that process into a second."

With that, Yuu immediately started grabbing ingredients from a variety of places.

(AN: This is going to be one of my favorite parts of the story, as each of these dishes was something I liked making, and the way to make them is shown in here as well, so you guys can use them too! I will add all recipes in the Auxillary Chapter if you guys want them.)

"All you need is cornstarch, 1 cup of sweet rice, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 cup of water, and the ice cream you want. In this case, since I will be making 12 Mochi, I will be using Chocolate, Strawberry, and Vanilla."

Yuu placed a piece of parchment paper on the counter, before dusting it with cornstarch. He then grabbed a bowl, adding the sweet rice, sugar, and water into it, before whisking it all together. He kept mixing until the contents of the bowl were smooth. Yuu then threw a small saucepan on top of the stove, turning the heat on to medium. After the saucepan warmed up a bit, Yuu threw the mixture into it and started stirring and folding it with a rubber spatula until it became a stiff tacky dough.

Turning around, Yuu threw the dough onto parchment on the countertop, before dusting it with cornstarch. Throwing another piece of parchment onto the dough and pressing it into a thin disk, Yuu called the system.

'System, please cool the dough to room temperature, 1 hour's worth of time.'

[Understood.]

As if magic, the dough immediately cooled down. Yuu grabbed a rolling pin and immediately started pressing the disk, turning it into a round oval, about 1/4 inches thick. Grabbing a cookie-cutter, Yuu made multiple rounds. After he ran out of space, he simply gathered the scraps, made them oval-shaped, dusted with cornstarch, before repeating the process. This went on until he had 12 rounds of dough. Dusting a plate with cornstarch, Yuu started stacking them on top of each other, coating each with cornstarch, before putting it in the fridge.

'Now then, the ice cream.'

Yuu grabbed a small baking sheet, lining it with plastic wrap, then 3 pints of ice cream as well. Using a 1-ounce cookie scooper, Yuu grabbed 4 scoops from each carton, before placing them down on the small baking sheet and putting it in the freezer.

'System, freeze the ice cream, 4 hours' worth of time. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes as well.'

[Understood.]

Yuu pulled both the baking sheet and the plate out, before putting on plastic gloves. Grabbing another baking sheet with parchment paper, he dusted it with cornstarch and placed it in the freezer. Filling a bowl with cool water, Yuu grabbed a dough round and brushed off the excess cornstarch placing the round flat on the palm of his hand. Moving quickly, Yuu placed one of the spheres of ice cream onto the center of the dough, before quickly encasing the ice cream with the dough. Gently twisting then pinching the dough together, Yuu quickly placed it on the baking sheet, which was now cold from being frozen, seam-side down. He did this with the remaining 11, before then wrapping all 12 in plastic wrap and freezing it for 2 hours' worth of time.

(AN: If you want the precise, 100% accurate way to make this, a reminder to check the Auxiliary chapters.)

"Give it a few minutes to thaw, and you should be able to eat it."

"O-oh my..."

"V-Vegeta, come look at this!"

"What is it Kaka-!"

Whis, Goku, and Vegeta froze. On a small plate were 12 balls of mochi. Each one was as white as a cloud and lookly as smooth as silk. It was coated in cornstarch, but not blanketed in it. it looked as if it was glimmering.

Whis gulped down some saliva, before grabbing one and taking a bite.

He was not prepared for what came afterward.

An explosion of taste happened in his mouth, and all he could do was chew. He appeared to grab a strawberry, but it was different.

The strawberry tasted extremely fresh, and the ice cream itself was super soft. The mochi wasn't too chewy but wasn't too hard either.

Whis looked starstruck.

After seeing Whi's face, Goku quickly snatched one, Vegeta following afterward, before they both opped it into their mouths.

Chocolate and vanilla became a whirlwind of flavor in their respective mouths.

Whis, Goku, and Vegeta stared at each other, before they quickly started grabbing more.

"VEGETA! I was planning on eating that one!"

"Hmph, Kakarot, be faster next time- HEY!"

"Apologies Vegeta, but I wish for another one, so I'll take that."

"Gah! In that case..!"

"HEY!"

Yuu watched in mild fascination as the two Saiyans and the Angel devoured all the contents. He scratched his head before slightly smiling. This was his wish. This was what he wanted.

"My apologies, but can we get one more?"

"Make it two!"

"No, three!"

Yuu grinned before tying the white headband around his head, before pulling up his sleeves.

"You got it!"

(LINEBREAK)

"Whew, that's the stuff!" Goku pat his belly twice, before getting up. "We have to get back though."

"Oh my, in the midst of all this eating, I completely forgot about Beerus-sama!"

"You'll be fine since time is different here."

Yuu replied, throwing the many dirty dishes he had into the dishwasher.

"What do you mean?"

"Time works differently. While I'm not 100% sure, 1 hour in here might be the same as 10 minutes in your world or something like that. Think of it like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Your age won't be affected, however."

"Hmph, this is nice and all, but can we head back? I am not sure if the others are fine."

"I sent Beerus-sama back to his planet, so you should be fine. Just in case though, I prepared for him a take-out box."

Yuu handed them a white container, which Whis stored in his staff.

"So how do we pay for all this?"

Goku looked puzzled.

'Fortunately, I was prepared for this.'

"It's simple Goku-sama. You see, this probably won't be the last time you visit again. So you may pay me anything and if I agree to it, it will work. If the payment is big enough, it can take care of your future meals as well for a while."

"Hmm, what can we give him then..?"

"Since this is your first visit, I may let you guys owe me for your next visit."

"Then we will make sure to bring you something that will be worth your while."

Whis bowed his head.

"Sure, I made it that people from your universe can come here as well. All they need to do is hold onto Goku-san's shoulder, as he is your only way of getting here. However, this goes to anyone, so if someone evil were to grab you, and you come here, he will get transported here as well. You should probably tell this to the others as well."

"Yay, we can come back later with the others Vegeta!"

"Kakarot, get off me!"

"We will be heading off now. Farewell."

With that, Whis, Vegeta, and Goku left the door, and just like that, everything was back to normal. Yuu sighed, feeling pretty happy. He got to meet 4 of the most famous anime characters to ever exist. While some moments were scary, he felt glad that he finally did it. He served his first customers!

Yuu turned around before the door opened again. Standing in front of him was a girl in pajamas, a toothbrush in hand, although that quickly fell from her hands. Yuu simply smiled.

"Welcome, Komi Shouko, to the Uchu Taberu. How can I help you?"

(Omake: Canon)

"Where am I?"

Beerus looked around, grunting. Swiping dust off of himself, he realized he was back on his planet. Cursing the mortal who shrugged him off, he grew even more irritated and destroyed a nearby tree.

"Whis! Come over here!"

There was nothing. No sounds, no replies.

"Whis! I said to get over here!"

Still nothing. Beerus grew confused, until Whis, Goku, and Vegeta popped up in front of him.

"Hey there Beerus-sama!"

"Silence Saiyan! Where were you Whis?"

"We were enjoying the food that Yuu gave us."

Beerus grunted. The mortal actually cooked well enough for Whis to like it? That's a first.

"In fact, he gave me some to give to you."

Whis tapped the ground with his staff and the container appeared. Beerus pushed it off.

"Trust me Beerus-sama, you won't regret this."

Goku grinned.

Beerus huffed, before opening the container, and sure enough, there it was. Beerus wiped the drool. It may have looked good, but it must have tasted bad, right?

(30 seconds later)

"WHIS! GET ME MORE!"

Beerus was elated by the taste. The taste of the fruits, and the sweetness as well as the cold combined.

"Unfortunately, we won't be able to get back for a while. We must find a way to pay him back, and you did threaten to destroy him, remember?"

...

"DARN IT!"
