[1] First Guest

His name was Akira.

A man in his twenties has just awoken from a deep slumber in an unknown massive building that combines elements of fantasy and eerie feeling on an unknown island. He slowly opened his eyes, dragged his body, and walked leisurely into the bathroom to wash himself.

After washing, dry yourself from head to toe with a soft towel made of various materials. He went to the bathroom to get some basic everyday clothing to wear.

He then walks down to the ground floor to prepare for his restaurant, which incorporates elements of a cafe and will welcome many guests from various worlds or universes.

The moment he arrives on the ground floor, he cannot help but take breath as his eyes can already see the vastness of the beach and sea.

His lips curled upward as he was so satisfied and happy as his dream to have his own restaurant mixed with the combo of the scenery that he looked at.

His own restaurant was also mixed with the theme of the beach, where every inch of furniture in the room looks so pleasant in the eyes and will be so popular for women to hang out for hours without bored or maybe even forget time that without their knowing it's already night.

To be simply, he had achieved a paradise or utopia for people to relax and lay back while enjoying the best food and scenery.

It's obvious there's an outdoor section for guests to sit at or even rest, as there's also a lazy chair beach on there.

This kind of dream of his can be achieved because of the support of Random Omnipotent Beings (ROB) that he met where he accidentally died after helping some innocent child from an explosive car as an accident happened right before his eyes.

He didn't know how lucky he was to meet that kind of being; he even didn't expect that he was going to have another life or second life and fulfill his dream to own this kind of life.

He now wants to be exactly in his own little dimension, where he can be said to be omnipotent and can do anything to his own dimension.

That's why yesterday, when he just arrived in his empty little dimension, he tried his best using his imagination and dream to build this kind of place and island that meet his requirements.

Remembering some of the kind fanfiction that he read when he was still alive, he decided to make a door that was going to randomly appear in the multiverse, where those lucky two-dimensional guests could visit this place and be his guests at dinner.

He looked at the blue door on his left side, where it will be automatically open at the same time the business hours of his restaurant begin.

After some thought, he decided to open from 9 AM to 21 PM, as he didn't know the flow time of his dimension and his guests would be the same or not after all.

He also doesn't need to sleep and rest if he wants, but the habit as an ordinary human is still in there. But who knows, maybe some scenario in the future made him go to open 24 hours as his habit was already gone in a matter of time in the future.

The building itself had just 3 floors.

The ground floor, where he now resides, was a main space for dinners and guests, as well as a kitchen and a music corner, which is already stocked with guitar, bass, drums, piano, and many other instruments. For the time being, there are bookshelves with only one classic novel that he remembers reading in his previous life. There is an outdoor seating area available for guests.

The first floor consists mostly of empty rooms that have already been furnished with comfortable blue ocean furniture and a bed that will be used as his guest room. If they want to relax or maybe live with him for a while.

Last floor, obviously his own private floor, where it's a master bedroom with little terrace where he can enjoy his private time with his family in the future.

It's just an early version of his dream design; maybe he will expand it again if there's a condition that made him do it. Maybe later he going to build battle space where his guest can have some sparring with each other that will be live where the others can watch it while enjoying their food and drink.

He then walks into the bar area, where there are all kinds of appliances that allow him to make drinks for his guests, and then into the kitchen behind the bar, which is full of all kinds of utensils and appliances that help him make food.

He also has a large refrigerator and pantry full of various ingredients, spices, and other items that he intends to use.

After that, he walked into the sign and flipped it, indicating that his business was open right now.

He smiled then tried to walk into behind the bar, sit on the soft chair, and take out a high-tech tablet from out of nowhere to play the cozy Lofi song that was suitable with his ambience of a cafe/restaurant.

Seeing that the guest would still take a while to arrive at his door, he attempted to prepare a nice warm He gets a latte for himself.

He does not want to make a latté appear in front of him right away because he wants to enjoy the process of becoming a barista, which he only saw while hanging out with his friends in his previous life.

He attempted to open a nearby pantry to obtain unusually high-quality coffee beans, which he then roasted with his machine. It does not take long because he can manipulate the process to always be perfect and shorten the time using his authority of domain.

He then continues the process while humming along to the slow rhythm of the song, which fills the room from a speaker attached to a corner room.

He also did not forget to attempt latte art, where he now tried to make a beautiful image swan.

Seeing the image of a swan appear clear on his cup, he then tried to grab the camera to capture the moment of his first latte.

The photo itself will automatically transfer to his laptop in his bedroom.

After that, he put the camera back into his inventory space and sat in leisure while enjoying the taste and scent of his latte.

He cannot describe the taste of the latte he just made, as the taste is already beyond the human expression of word; after all, from the ingredient and process until the final product was influenced by his [Omnipotent Culinary Skill].

Yeah, in simple terms, this latte can make someone be silent and want to enjoy the quietness of the environment while enjoying every sip of it into their mouth.

Akira lives a slow leisure life, enjoying every moment with a cup of latte that is always at the perfect temperature.

The blue velvet door was shining, telling him that his first guest is finally here.

He smiled and was waiting excitedly—what kind of guest did his blue velvet door attract?

...

"Where is this place?" A tiny girl with a little horn on his head and a cute tail on it's but appears from behind the door.

She was Kanna Kamui from the Kobayashi Series.

She looks confused, as if she were just going out to find someone in the human world, and suddenly there's a blue velvet door appearing not far from her.

The little girl was quite surprised, as the door seems to have tried to call and enchant her to open it.

Feeling curious, she then tried to open it, not afraid of trouble as she was a strong white dragon from a dragon clan.

The moment she opened the door, she blinded for a second before arriving at Akira Cafe.

"Welcome to my cafe, little girl."

Feeling being called made her cannot help but look, but seeing a tall, handsome man behind the bar smiling while waving at her.

"Human?"

This made Kanna be wary and panic as she thought she just entered trap space magic that was made by humans.

Akira, who notices her expression, sighs as he knows that this Kanna hasn't met yet Tohru and Kobayashi, which makes her still wary of the human race.

This gave him an idea to make a little food to make Kanna not be wary of him, so he tried to walk into the kitchen to prepare for the food.

As for Kanna, she became confused right now as to whether to decide to go back into the door or confront Akira.

Still seeing Akira retreat and disappear while he doesn't have any killing intent at her made her feel confused and relieved at the same time.

Kanna, who still stands in her place, cannot help but take a sniff of the aroma of coffee that invades her nostril; this made her body and mind be forced to relax.

This also made Kanna's narrow vision wide and mesmerizing by the scenery of Akira Cafe and the vast beach and sea outside the huge glass window out there.

She can also smell fresh air and salty ocean, and the slow rhythm of cozy lofi songs has completely relaxed her body and put her at ease.

This also compelled her to walk to the outside area, where she opened her mouth to express herself.

Kanna has no idea why such a common scene of a beach and vast sea is so beautiful and breathtaking in her mind, as she frequently visits a beach area near her territory to find seafood to eat.

It was not much different, but it was still magical for her to feel this way.

The breeze of the sea also slightly blew her hair away.

"It's peaceful here..."

She cannot help but comment on her feelings and kind of like this place in her heart.

While she was enjoying the ambience, her nose caught something delicious in the delicious in the aroma that quickly approached her.

She looked back and saw the human that stood beside the counter bar, walked, and got closer to her while pushing the serving cart.

"Would you like to eat with me?

Kanna cannot help but gulp because she is so hungry.

As a member of the dragon race, she is naturally wary of humans, as dragons and humans are constantly at odds in their world.

Kanna nodded, accepting Akira's offer.

Akira smiled and was relieved that Kanna tried to accept his offer, like he knew how wary the dragon race of humans was in the Kanna world.

The food that Akira prepared and served at a nearby table was curry chicken rice with mild spices. For the beverage, it was fresh lemonade juice.

Kanna, who is already sitting like a good girl, cannot help but drool because the food in front of her eyes is so dazzling, and the fragrance makes her stomach growl so hard.

"What is this? Why does it look so good?" Kanna cannot help but ask the human sitting opposite her.

"It's called Curry Chicken Rice." Akira explained while trying to eat first, showing Kanna how to eat it.

Kanna, who has never eaten in the human way, quickly approaches the spoon with her little hand, scoops some rice and curry chicken, and pushes it into her little mouth.

Her pupil expanded to the limit when it touched her tongue, sending the electricity of bomb umami into her brain, causing her to make the sound "Mmmhhh~.".

She did not realize that human food was so frightening that she could not stop munching, eating everything on her plate without even noticing that Akira looked at her with a warm smile like a father. Feel satisfied by looking at his daughter, who enjoys the food he prepared.

Akira also feels that this kind of feeling that he wants to see makes him feel satisfied when seeing someone savor every bite they do on the delicious food.

This kind of happiness that he sought in his previous life.

He prepares chicken curry rice for Kanna, which can be classified as large or jumbo because he knows how gluttonous this little dragon is.

As he had predicted, the foods in front of her vanished into her stomach in an instant, resembling a bottomless abyss.

Kanna remembers to take a sip of her drink, which she finds refreshing and cleansing after the curry flavor in her mouth and throat.

"Human... Thanks for the food."

Kanna was a good child, despite his dislike for the human race, which constantly made loud noises and screamed at her with hatred.

She still knows how to say thank you and express her gratitude. Thank you for providing her with delicious food.

"You're welcome~ then, little girl, may I know your name?" asks Akira while helping to refill Kanna's glass with fresh lemonade in the big jug glass nearby.

"Kanna... Kanna Kamui..."

"I see. Nice to meet you, Kanna. As for me, my name is Akira."

Kanna nodded and will always remember Akira name in her memories from now on.

"So, Akira... Where is this?" Kanna tried to look at her surroundings and felt that she was in strange place but at the same time, it's not a bad place like human world that she just visited now.

"Well, you can say this is my domain, or you can say another world."

""Another world?"

Kanna nodded, as the term 'Another world' is familiar to her because she, too, came from another world and visited the human world to find a missing person

Still to know that one man had their own private world, Kanna cannot help but frown.

"Akira, so you are not human? Are you a god?"

Akira smiled hearing it. "Well, it's a difficult question. In term of appearance, I can say I was a normal human. Still, as you can see, it's impossible for a normal human to have ability to possess a personal domain or world."

"At the same time, I wasn't a god but had an ability that possessed above god."

Kanna simply nodded, convinced that Akira was not deceiving her, as she sensed a strange aura emanating from Akira's body that was more terrifying than any god she had ever encountered in her world.

The dragon race's relationship with the gods is arguably strained, with wars breaking out frequently throughout their world's history.

Akira smiled as he also knew that dragon hated god. 

"So, Kanna, how was the food? Is it your liking?"

Hearing it made Kanna nod fast. "Un! It was so delicious and comforting at the same time, like the feeling of mother embracing me when I was still a baby."

"I see, it's great to hear that."

Akira cannot help but smile hearing the praise.

"So Kanna, I want to ask. How you can enter this place? Is there something blue velvet that suddenly appears? nearby of you before?"

"Yeah, before I was on mission to find Tohru-sama. Suddenly, a blue door suddenly appear and looked like it was enchanting me to open it, then suddenly I appeared at this place."

"Great, then the portal that I made was success."

"Portal?"

"Yeah, as you can see, Kanna. This place was a restaurant that connected to all kinds of worlds in the multiverse. The meaning I build this because to meet all of interesting people, like Kanna."

Akira smiles and looks out at the sea with a soft gaze.

"It is my little dream to meet many people with whom I can form friendships and share stories."

Kanna felt silent for a while as the word friend. was something she also desired.

She was a mischievous child who enjoyed making friends, but due to her dragon race's low birthrate, she could not befriend other dragons her age.

Tohru was not a friend to her; instead, she regarded her as a big sister whose existence she valued.

So far, she has not had anyone who could be considered a friend.

Looking at Akira in front of her, who is also looking for a friend, Kanna could not help but open her mouth.

"Then! Would you like to be my friend, Akira?"

Akira raised an eyebrow when she heard it, remaining silent for a few seconds before smiling warmly at Kanna.

"Okay, Kanna."

Kanna could not help but smile when she heard the acceptant because Akira had always been a friend to her.

...

"Then, Akira I will visit again with Tohru-sama next time!"

She was feeling happy right now because she could eat delicious food made by her first friend, and he also gave her a cookie snack as food on the way to find Tohru.

"Yeah, don't forget to use the card if you want to visit~"

Kanna nodded while look at the blue oceanic color card in her hand.

Akira said she can visit him again just by express her feelings into the card and blue door will appear again in her nearby.

It was so convenient to her as she can always visit him at anytime and doesn't need to walk into same place where the door has appear before.

"Bye for now, Akira!"

Kanna waved her hand before opening the blue door and leaving the restaurant.

Now by himself, Akira smiled and sighed slightly, feeling that his seamless portal system creation had paid off and that this was a good start.

While waiting for another visitor who was fortunate enough to be drawn to his blue door, he also used his authority to clean all of the dirty cutlery and put it back in its original place. He was sitting back in his chair behind the counter bar, enjoying his still-warm cup of latte.

...
