Lunch - Swarm of People - Entourage Escorting

Marlo drove Philip and the others to a diner that he knows that serves good during lunch time

It was a place called [Jolly Bee] and it's a fancy looking diner of a fine dining class

Upon exit of the limousine, Mathilda and the others had they're eyes shining. Meanwhile, Philip crumpled his eyebrows upon looking at the name of the diner

The name sounds familiar coming from his home country. He just needs to confirm the food that they will serve once they enter. If he thinks what this diner is, he would be incredibly surprised by the sheer development of the restaurant he know and love when he was a child

They then entered the diner calmly but Philip was stopped by an attendee at the door

"Good day sir, please remove the mask and the sunglasses when inside of the diner"

The attendee gave Philip a smile and extended his hands. Philip only looked at him with empty eyes and then sighed. He removed his mask and sunglasses then gave it to the attendee

"Thank you"

The attendee was then shocked the moment he lifted his head and looked at Philip. He couldn't help but take a step back while his knees and arms trembled

The other staff that was watching the five new customers come in became confused when their attendee became shocked and flustered

It was then that it was their turn to be shocked the moment they panned their eyes to Philip. The women almost screamed but they immediately covered their mouths and turned around. Others started to fan themselves with their hands because they suddenly felt hot

Just then, a professional looking man came out of the backroom and marched towards the new customers

The other customers that were already inside and enjoying their meals, hasn't noticed Philip's presence yet. But they noticed the odd behavior of the waitresses and ignored it

As Mathilda and the others entered the diner, they were greeted by a white themed room with white checkered tiles designed in gold patterns, white walls with an intricate design at the lower half, white ceiling with silver glass chandeliers and silver overhangs

The round tables that are used to eat from are surrounded by curved white sofas with gold and silver linings. At the end of the room, there was a large opening where the oddly behaving waitresses are waiting for the food to be served. There are also servers inside the opening where they get the food from the kitchen that are being made by the chefs

The diner looked very luxurious, befitting for a true rich person to eat

They were then greeted by a marching tall man that personally came towards them

"Good afternoon beautiful misses. I am the manager of Jolly Bee, Teddy Stuart. Is that man with you?"

The man named Teddy Stuart pointed at Philip with a serious face

"Yes, he is"

Natsuki answered

"Very well then, are you planning to eat here?"

"Yes, table for five"

"Understood. Table for five"

Teddy confirmed and another attendee came to his side to guide Mathilda and the others

"This way please"

Mathilda and the others followed the attendee while Philip left the other flustered attendee and followed the rest

Teddy returned to the opening and shouted

"We have a code blue in our hands! Be prepared!"

The waitresses, servers, amd chefs became alarmed and started to move with panic. Since the diner is full of customers at this time due to its popularity, this earned the attention and curiosity of the other customers

It was then that a commotion was heard at the center of the diner as a few girls screamed with excitement

Philip and the others sat down in the middle of the diner with a bigger table and a more intricately designed curved sofas. They wete surrounded by four attendees that are on stand by whenever they need something

The girls from the other tables tried to catch Philip's attention but they were stopped by their friends, family members, and attendees. Although, their friends and family members were stopping them with no effort because they are also curious about the bery handsome man

This made a wave in the diner that the news of a very handsome man, more handsome and beautiful than celebrities and idol, is in the diner. Moments later, they took pictures of Philip without his permission and posted it on social media

Later on, the mysterious man that has an out of this world beauty trended in all platforms of social media. But that's a story for another time

Teddy came back and provided them a 12 course menu and explained it to them

"Today's menu is very special and we have a 12 course menu just for you individuals"

Teddy passed the menu one by one to the group

Philip looked at the menu with dead eyes. He could only hope that he won't be full before he completed the full course. Meanwhile, Natsume and the others are very excited to eat

However, to Philip's expectation the diner is almost the same as the fastfood restaurant from his home country. It's just more fancier

An hour later, they have finished eating and prepared to leave. Good thing that the other customers behaved themselves very well and did not storm Philip

Although, Philip was slightly irritated that there are many eyes looking at him, not to mention the phones that are frequently snapping photos of him whenever he moves. Eating, breathing, wiping his mouth, drinking, all of them will get a picture the best that they can

After a moment, they then stood up and walked towards the outside. Philip has already paid for the meal and, for some reason, they were given a discount

'Did the number of people increase in here?'

Philip said in his mind as they walked through the door

It was then that there are people waiting outside and they all simultaneously looked towards the door. Then, there was a barrage of flashing lights coming from DSLR's

Philip and the others covered their eyes by the sudden flashes. He also saw news vans parked at the other side of the road and he could already see cameras used for broadcasting set-up with cameramen manning it

Just then, several reporters came running towards them with microphones and smartphones on their hands. Philip felt goosebumps and urged the others to hurry up

"Let's go! Hurry!"

Natsuki and the others also became scared of the amount of people flocking towards them, Mei'er was expressionless however

Fortunately, the limousine is just up front and the doors are already opened. Philip and the others quickly entered the vehicle and closed the door. Marlo then immediately locked it

People and reporters surrounded the limousine. The reporters kept talking, as if they were asking questions even though no one inside can hear them and camera kept flashing from the outside

"Hahaha! Sir Philip sure is popular, huh?"

Marlo commented

"This is so weird! Is this what a Zombie Apocalypse feels like?"

Philip said while his eyebrows are furrowed as he couldn't believe this ridiculous situation

"That's what you get for being to handsome"

Natsuki said casually as she crossed her arms

"But that's a good thing, right?"

Natsume became flustered when her sister complimented Philip. She tried to compliment Philip herself with a blush

Mathilda couldn't talk because she's distracted on protecting the girls. She already forgot that her supposed greatest enemy is Philip

"You know, this is fine! I just gotta cover my face!"

Philip said as he touched his pockets for the mask and sunglasses. His eyes then widened and his head turned towards the entrance of the diner

He forgot to get the mask and sunglasses from the attendee

"Oh... Do you have more, Marlo?"

Philip asked

"Unfortunately, I do not, Sir Philip"

Marlo giggled silently. He seems to be enjoying this situation

It was then that Mei'er tucked on Philip's sleeve as she looked at him. Philip looked back at her

"I'm fine, Mei'er, thanks for worrying about me"

Philip said with a smile as he patted her head. After he patted her head, she touched her head and smiled innocently

"Waaah~"

Natsuki exclaimed with jealousy as she looked at Mei'er's happy face. Natsuki could only look coldly with a tinge of red on her cheeks. Mathilfa is still distracted

"So, where is our next destination, Sir Philip?"

Marlo asked. Philip don't know what to say and turned towards Natsuki and Natsume

"Do you guys want to be daring?"

Philip asked. Natsuki understoof what he meant. Both her, her sister, and Mei'er are looking forward to this place. It would be very daring because what happened here might happen in that place

"How about you?"

Natsuki asked back

"What are you guys talking about?"

Natsume was clueless

"I'm pretty daring"

"Yeah, me too!"

"Then, Marlo, let's go to Disneyland!"

Philip said with excitement. The rest's eyes sparkled and pumped their hands. Mathilda is still distracted

"Alright, next off... Disneyland!"

Marlo then slowly accelerated the limousine to slowly get rid of the people in front of the vehicle

The people slowly dispersed as they saw the limousine moving. Other went to their cars so they could follow the limousine and the reporters also came back to their broadcasting vans with the cameramen carrying their camerad

As the road was cleared, Marlo accelerated instantly and gained speed. The other cars wouldn't be able to catch up at this rate since they are still igniting their engine

Marlo easily escaped the zombies and drove through the highway towards Disneyland

~~~

"So, here's the plan..."

Philip started a conversation as Marlo drives through the highway

"I'll let you all choose... First, you all four come out of the vehicle first then I'll come out after a few minutes, or second, we could all come out and separate midway"

Philip suggested two options to optimize efficiency in having fun in the amusement park

"Wouldn't us coming altogether better?"

Natsuki proved a point

"Well... Realistically, if people would ever notice me, they would flock towards me and bother you guys, I don't want that. At that point, you four need to separate from me"

"You have a point..."

Natsuki commented

"But we want to be with you"

Natsume tried to compromise. Philip then held his chin and thought deeply

"Hm... How about this... What are you're guy's goal?"

Philip asked the rest on their goal for coming on this trip. Natsuki spoke first

"Mei'er wanted to come, so I brought her with us. Also, Natsume is coming along, I would also come along"

"Uhh..."

Natsume was hesitating to tell her answer

"I'm trying to develop my trust on you"

Mathilda casually said her motives tkwards Philip with no expressions. Either she is out of it, innocent, or she's clueless

"Natsuki?"

Philip looked at Natsume, even though he already has an idea

"Hrrmmm..."

Natsume stalled

"You're really going to make me say it, huh?"

"You have to, because we're going to act depending on your answer to avoid us achieving our goals"

"What's your goal first?"

Natsume returned the question

"Well, I just go with the flow. I don't really have a plan but to be with you all"

Natsume blushed and Natsuki only looked at Philip. Mei'er pumped her fist and Mathilda also stared at Philip

"I just wanted to hang out with you"

Natsume said shyly and embarrassingly while she covered his face by turning her head down as her cheeks blushed

"Hm, alright"

Philip knew it. Natsume has seemed to have fallen for him. He became more afraid but he suddenly had the urge to at least make her follow through her goal so she'll at least be happy

"I know what to do"

"What is it?"

Natsuki asked

"We'll all go together and ride a few attractions, then we'll separate halfway. At five, we'll meet back at the entrance"

"Hm... Okay, that's a fine

Natsuki agreed to Philip's plan. Slowly, she is assuming leadership for the rest of them since Mathilda is acting weirdly right now

Also, for some reason, the others could only follow Philip because he exudes an aura of a leader, or more accurately, someone who van lead people

"Separate, how?"

Natsume asked. She's hesitant that she will get separated from Philip when she just want to be with him

"We will go together. Mathilda, Natsuki, and Mei'er will go together"

"Wha~"

Philip said which made Natsume exclaim with embarrassment. She covered her face with her hands as her entire face became red

"Wait, how about me? I need to be able to trust you"

Mathilda complained

"We're going to do trust exercises when we get home, that would be better than just watching me right? I have some trust exercises in mind"

Mathilda squinted her eyes and examined Philip with glaring eyes. She then crossed her arms and relaxed her body

"Okay, fine! It better be good since Justine wanted me to trust you!"

Philip was surprised that Mathilda just revealed the true purpose of this trip. He just nodded and shrugged his shoulders, showing Mathilda a confirmation

Meanwhile, Mei'er seemed to be in a slight bad mood because the reason she wanted to come is to hang out with Philip. She just couldn't voice it out to them

She is also shy to tell Philip and Philip could only read that she's shy for some reason

Philip's Body Language Translator has some limits. Yes, he could read all body language of living beings, existences, and souls but he could only read the first layer of what they are feeling and couldn't read what they are feeling deep inside

That's a different ability that Philip hasn't discovered yet that he has. If he would be aware of that ability, he could read what Mei'er is actually thinking and feeling

"Alright, is the plan clear?"

Philip asked everyone for clearance

"Yup"

Natsuki is the only one that answered while Mathilfa nodded slightly. Natsume is still trying to hide her blushing face

At this moment, four police motorcycles came up accelerating next to them at the four corners of their limousine in thr highway

Marlo slowed down, thinking that the police are trying to pull them over. Red and blue lights flash around the area as the escort goes through the highway

But the policeman in the front left of the vehicle wave his hand to come faster and the two motorcycles up front then accelerated. Marlo also accelerated and reached past the speed limit

Looks like the police came to them to escort them to their destination

Mathilda and the others looked to the front and back due to curiosity. Philip, however, looked outside the side window and saw a news helicopter in the distance

His expression became blank as he stared at the helicopter with dead eyes. The helicopter seemed to be following them from a very far distance

He couldn't see accurately into the future to see what will eventually happen but he could predict it. According to his expectations, it will turn out quite bad. But he'll deal with it once it happens

Little did Philip know, what he expected is completely different from what he expects. He should know that his Future Vision doesn't really work since the ability has been independent four years ago. He should be able to use it again after six years, when he passes the moment when he couldn't see further into the future

Several minutes later, they have arrived in Disneyland. They inhaled and exhaled deeply

They feel like they are some in an impossible mission yet they really want to go to this amusement park
