"Talking"

'Thinking'

"Greetings, I welcome you to my Beyond Dimensional Restaurant."

"Oh~, a polite young man!"

Yuzuki had politely welcomed the new visitor that had just entered through the door in the same formal fashion that he had done so with Natsu, Happy and Lucy. The person that entered appeared to be the same age as himself, keyword being appeared, though he had this suspicion in his gut that told him that they were probably far older than they looked.

The person stood a half a head or so shorter than himself and had shoulder lengthed white hair that was tied into a ponytail that trailed down to her mid-back. Having a pair of golden eyes as well as two locks of hair that were tied into small pigtails. Her attire consisted of a black kimono, white socks, and black flat shoes.

The most intriguing feature being the fact that she had two small black horns.

Yuzuki won't lie, he was a bit nervous.

He didn't recognise the girl at all, though she had this divine power radiating from her, and it was obviously being held back. It didn't feel as potent as his own, though it was definitely there. He could also feel she had quite a bit of power hidden away inside of her, though he was quite certain he could subdue her with ease if anything gets out of hand.

Before he could continue saying something to the girl, the door chimed once again. Though, unlike when the girl in front of him came in, the person that came through did so in a fast motion as the door had quickly sprung open. The person that just came through was a girl that appeared to be sixteen or seventeen and had deep blue hair tied into a bun and was wearing a blue kimono.

Strangely, she was also wearing an apron over it from what he could see.

"Sh-Shiroyasha, you must not just enter randomly...!" The girl panted as it appeared that she was seemingly exhausted. The one now known as Shiroyasha just smiled slightly as she turned around to face the panting girl. When said person looked up, she saw both Shiroyasha and Yuzuki staring at her. "Who are you?"

"Greetings, miss. Just like I have welcome this young lady here before. I welcome you to my Beyond Dimensional Restaurant." Yuzuki welcomed once again as he gave a small polite bow. The woman panicked a bit and seemingly bowed back out of instinct, probably not to appear rude at all to them. "Please do take a seat, I shall be with you shortly."

Before they could ask anything, Yuzuki had already begun walking towards the kitchen. Natsu and Happy were still chowing down as Lucy was eating as well, though she had been watching curiously as the newcomers had entered. Staring for a second, Shiroyasha began walking forwards towards one of the empty tables as the other female soon followed in a panic.

The older looking female appeared to be acting cautious, not surprising as this was an entirely new place and environment. It was only natural to be cautious and wary of your surroundings. The seat they had taken was one of the other smaller tables, more specifically, the one that was next to the table that the other three had been occupying.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"I see, so this place is located in an entirely different dimension."

"Well, that's what Yuzuki told us before. We were rather surprised..."

"Doesn't really look like it." Shiroyasha voiced in amusement as she turned to look at both Natsu and Happy, they were just enjoying their food in glee, seemingly unaffected by their situation. The two groups had already introduced themselves to one another when Shiroyasha and the other female sat down at their table.

"Speaking of not surprised, you don't seem too surprised yourself." They all turned their heads to see Yuzuki walking over with a familiar jug of water as he sat down the water onto the newcomer's table as he handed them both menus. "I assume that the whole idea of different worlds may not be too surprising from where you're from?"

"Mhm. Though, don't take me wrong. The whole idea of this place is rather interesting." Shiroyasha commented as she looked around the place. Her small usual smile constantly on her face. "This place appears quite normal, though there is this certain power I'm feeling from it. Something quite powerful if I must say, and also... empty?"

"Ahaha, seems you've noticed. I guess the term saying this place exists in another dimension isn't entirely correct." Yuzuki voiced as they all looked at him confused, aside from Shiroyasha as she seemed before curious. "This place exists in non-existence. This very restaurant of mine exists outside of everything that has come to be, existing in the plane of Oblivion."

"Oblivion, huh? A place where everything is unknown, everything that doesn't exist but can come into existence." Shiroyasha gave a smirk of intrigue as she heard this explanation. "From what I know, I have never heard of anything that exists beyond the whole idea of existing. This place is most certainly interesting."

"I'll take that as a compliment. Miss Shiroyasha, correct?"

"Yes, though just call me Shiroyasha. Your name is Yuzuki Aoi, right?" Shiroyasha asked as Yuzuki just nodded his head in response. It seemed that Lucy had already taken the liberty to explain everything, so he didn't end up needing to. He was grateful for that. "Nice to meet you. This here is my assistant back where we come from."

"Nice to meet you, sir."

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well." Yuzuki nodded as he responded. "Would you both like to order anything? You may pick a singular item today, it'll all be free. However, if you are to come back again one day, then please do keep in mind that payment will then be required."

"Do you use our currency?"

"No worries about that. You can exchange it for tokens, which we use here." Yuzuki explained as he gestured towards the machines near the door. They both nodded in understanding before looking at the menus. Yuzuki just waited patiently as he had already taken his notepad to write down their order whenever they were ready.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"System, have I started with any tokens to use?"

[Owner has started off with 10,000 Cosmic Tokens]

"Ten-thousand, huh?" Yuzuki muttered as he was in the kitchen cooking Shiroyasha's and her attendant's orders, with the assistant of his helpers of course. As he continued to cook, he brought up a strange menu which was the System Shop. He quickly scanned his eyes through the different options. "I see, there really are many things I can buy for this place..."

From what he was seeing, he obviously saw the option to expand as well as add additional rooms and such. Though, the most interesting ones were things like enclosed combat areas that were for people to fight in, obviously. While anyone could fight in this restaurant wherever they are, Yuzuki would obviously stop them.

However, these enclosed areas kept anything happening within inside, so that nothing like the food or other guests would be disturbed by the backlash of fighting. There were other things like medical facilities, training areas, and even an arcade room that he could buy as an extension to the place. Though, they were all rather expensive.

The arcade room cost 25,000 Cosmic Tokens in total.

The more expensive entertainment facility being a virtual gaming simulation room, which cost more than 800,000 Cosmic Tokens. Though, even that wasn't close to the top expensive items within the shop that he was capable of purchasing. He wasn't even going to try and look at those items until he racked up a lot of tokens.

That wasn't going to happen for a good while.

Yuzuki just shook his head before closing down the menu as he had finished preparing Shiroyasha's dish, and he turned around to see that both his helpers had also finished up with the other girl's dish as well. He was a bit uncomfortable since the girl didn't introduce herself or give a name, but he didn't judge as his priority was to satisfy his customers, not question them about trivial things.

He quickly placed both dishes onto a silver platter as he quickly made his way out.

"Here is are your orders, mesdames. Please do enjoy."

Both Shiroyasha along with her assistant looked at the two simple dishes in front of them with sparkling eyes, they had both ordered something that was completely foreign to any kind of delicacy that they had seen. There were many foreign to them on the menu, and it intrigued them quite a lot to see what they were like.

The image displayed on the menu that they saw of the dishes looked amazing, though seeing the real thing was a true spectacle as the product in front of them looked as if it should be displayed in some kind of expensive jewellery store, not even a restaurant. Just looking at it as well as smelling the aroma, they could already tell it was going to be great.

"Amazing, I am surely going to be visiting again!" Shiroyasha marveled as she was gulping down her food. Her assistant was trying to eat in a more polite and refined manner, though you could see she too was sucking it up like a slow vacuum. "I'm just glad that this door of yours ended up appearing inside my place!"

"Wait, it appeared inside your home as well...?" Lucy asked curiously. Shiroyasha blinked at her before nodding as the white-haired girl responded with. "Yeah. I was just lying around before some random door just appeared on the wall. Glad it did though! Did it also appear the same way with you?"

"Well..."

"She says it appeared in the middle of her room. It was funny how she reacted!"

"Aye!"

"Shut up, both of you!" Lucy roared at both Natsu and Happy as they both laughed at her. The other three just sweatdropped as it seemed that whatever had happened with Lucy when the door leading to Yuzuki's restaurant appeared must have been amusing to them, whatever it was. "Anyway, yeah. The door randomly appeared in the middle of my apartment..."

"That is unfortunate..." Shiroyasha's assistant had voiced with a sweatdrop.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

[Congratulations! 10,000 Cosmic Tokens have been added to the Owner!]

The restaurant was now closed as Yuzuki along with his two helpers cleaned up the kitchen, he wanted the workplace to be completely clean if he was to cook food for people. He closed up the the place for now as a good number of hours had passed without anyone entering, not like he minded, and he could also understand.

If people saw a random door appear then they are probably intrigued to enter through it, though most would probably be hesitant to do anything.

"Hm? System, why was I given tokens? I don't remember charging them anything..."

[You misunderstand, Owner. These tokens that have been given to you is based entirely on the number of different customers that have entered and utilised the facilities here in the restaurant. These tokens determined upon the time that you open the restaurant to when you close it for the day]

"So, since I had five customers today and I had gained ten-thousand tokens. Does that mean I gain two-thousand tokens per customer that enters this place?"

[That is correct. However, the customer needs to utilise facilities here within the restaurant for those tokens to be accounted for. Meaning that as of right now, the customer must either eat, simply relax around at the tables, or simply use the restrooms for the two-thousand tokens to be allocated into the total sum at the end of the day]

"Ah~, I see now."

Yuzuki nodded his head in understanding as he heard this.

At least he knew that the system was generous to allow him to gain tokens with a faster method than selling his food. The food was decently priced with the cheapest honestly being around twenty tokens, simply being twenty Australian dollars. That was only the cost of one of the countless hundreds of dishes on the menu.

Even if the food he sold were quite pricy, it would still take quite a long time for him to allocate enough tokens to buy some of the more expensive extensions for the restaurant. So, having this system of allocating tokens for each customers that uses their resources was seriously going to speed up the process.

Yuzuki sighed as he finished cleaning his side as the two helpers had done the same. He didn't feel at all tired, which he understood as he did remember having that unlimited stamina perk. Though, that didn't mean he wasn't going to get some shut-eye. Sleep was a gift that everyone should enjoy, and he was not going to be an exception.

"Let's see... I'll wake up in four hours or so. Time to get some sleep."
