Chapter 16: Naruto and Kanna's Day Out Part-1

___________________________________________________________________

- Silas -

My hands worked on the vegetables as I looked outside at Milim and Saitama playing video games. Rimuru and Ainz were working on deciding which Manga we were going to sell in our new publishing house.

As I was working, the door opened and Tohru entered followed by two other people.

One of them was a handsome young man with straight waist-length or hip-length black hair that was in a loose ponytail at the end with bangs covering his right eye, red eyes. He was wearing butler attire, a mail coach cravat tie and small glasses on the bridge of his nose. He had a gloomy look on his face as he looked around with a frown.

I was however not looking at him but the last person who came in… damn, those have to be fake.

She was a tall, fair-skinned woman with an hourglass figure and large breasts. She had long, wavy blonde hair which took on a turquoise and green colour at the ends. She had heterochromia, where one iris has a different coloration from the other. Her left eye was navy blue on the outside and yellow on the inside, with a green, slit pupil. Her right eye was green on the outside with designs and black on the inside with a yellow, slit pupil. She had horns like Tohru but no tail.

"Is this the place you were talking about, Tohru?" She asked, looking around cluelessly.

I don't know why but I felt major Lavy energy from her.

It was an instinct but my instinct's are quite spot on these days. Must be an Archdaemon thing.

"Yes yes. It's great, isn't it?" Tohru replied happily, showing them a seat nearby.

The other guy however stopped and looked at the rest of the people in the Restaurant. "Humans, demons and even undead… should I just kill them first?"

…suddenly a dozen eyes were pointed towards him from all directions.

"Fafnir! No fighting anyone. This is the place I work at. I told you already that Silas-san is my boss and these are my boss' friends." She then looked at the rest, especially Milim and bowed deeply. "I am sorry for my friend. He isn't used to being around people much."

Milim just huffed and turned back to the game in her hand.

Tohru came to me. "These are my friends, boss. I decided to show them around before the party."

I nodded and looked at the guy called Fafnir. Isn't that name kinda famous? "Will they be alright?"

"Oh, don't worry. Fafnir is just a bit awkward around people. He mostly stays in his cave to protect his treasures."

Ah, a shut-in dragon.

"Okay, take their orders."

The two people… dragons, ordered me to make anything I wanted and I began working on their orders before Tohru served them.

By then, Fafnir was watching Milim and Saitama play games while the other woman was looking at them with a smile on her face.

"Are you Tohru's boss?" The latter asked me when I came out, having completed the orders. "A Demon…"

"Hello. My name is Silas. I am the owner of this Restaurant. Tohru works for me." I introduced myself with a polite bow.

"Oh my, how polite. This is the first time I have seen a demon be so polite in all my years. I mean sure some were polite before too but they were usually faking or mocking others… but none of them run a Restaurant."

I controlled my lips from twitching at her words.

"Ah, my name is Quetzalcoatl by the way but my friends call me Locoa."

Quetzalcoatl?!

Isn't that the creature from the Aztec myths?

I had seen a documentary about the Aztec myths a long time ago and remembered the name. I think it was a dragon or serpent of some kind. I tried to remember and sure enough it came to me.

"Quetzalcoatl, the Winged Serpent."

"Oh, you have heard of me?" She asked, interested.

I nodded. "Yes. There are myths of Quetzalcoatl in my world too. I think there was even a Fafnir in the Norse Mythology." I said, making the other dragon look at me with narrowed eyes.

"Your world?" She asked, confused.

I looked at Tohru. "You didn't tell them?"

"Ah… I forgot." She said, sticking out her tongue.

She then went on to explain about the place to them.

"Other worlds, outside our own? I mean I had heard about such a thing from the Gods but none of us knew how to get there. This is really amazing. Are the rest of the guests from other worlds too?" She asked, looking round. 

"Yes. Boss is from a world with Gods, Demons and Dragons like our own. Lavy is from that world too. Sakura is from a different world. Rimuru and Milim are from different worlds too."

"No wonder there are people from so many races here and all seem quite different from the ones I know. I mean I have never seen a slime as strong as this and… are you a dragon, miss?" She asked Milim.

"Hmm, I am a dragonoid." Milim answered with a puff of her chest.

"A Dragonoid?"

"Born from a True Dragon and a human." She answered.

"A True Dragon! That's…" Her mouth opened up in surprise.

"Okay, we can talk afterwards. First try the food. Boss is the best chef I have ever seen. Try it before it gets cold." Tohru urged them, successfully diverting their attention and they each took a bite of the food and paused.

A bright smile lit up the face of Lucoa while Fafnir just looked frozen.

"Oh my… this is indeed one of the best foods I have eaten." Lucoa praised while Fafnir… Fafnir was eating without caring about anything else. "What kind of dish is this?" She asked.

"This is a Dragon Cherry Pie. These are made from Dragon Cherries, a special variety of cherries which dragons love. Tohru likes this. I didn't know what kind of food you liked so I made this for everyone. Is it to your tastes?"

"It is. I have never heard of Dragon Cherries. Is it from some other world?" She asked as she took another bite of the food.

"Yes. It's from the world of one of my customers." I answered.

The two dragons started eating and suddenly Milim spoke up. "Hey Sil, one pie for me too."

I looked at her… drooling and shook my head. Really, Milim was a glutton.

Fortunately I had anticipated this already and made extra for her.

"Hahahaha you are the best. Are you sure you don't want to be my personal chef?" She asked, between her bites.

"Nah, I'll pass."

She pouted at the reply.

After they finished the meal, Lucoa talked to everyone about their worlds while Fafnir was looking at the members playing games.

He looked quite interested so I picked up a console I used and handed it to him. "Here, you can join them too. Rimuru, help Fafnir out."

"Kay."

The atmosphere reverted back to the usual calm one as guests started coming in once more and I got busy with work once again.

Just like this, it was evening. By now, things had changed completely. Fafnir was playing games… or at least trying his best.

Rimuru was a very patient teacher.

He however left when Shizuka-san came in.

It was friday and she had a day off tomorrow and as usual she was here to drink.

During this time, I observed Lucoa looking at her… or rather the alcohol but hesitating so I went ahead and offered her a bottle of emerald wine and I understood soon enough why she was hesitating.

"And that bitch, she had the gall to say that I was nearing my thirties and too old for marriage. Am I old, Lucoa? Hah, am I old?"

"Oh my… that's a horrible thing to say. Thirty is practically a newborn in dragon years."

"Right… that racist bitch!"

…

Shizuka-san found out about Lucoa and was actually interested in getting to know her, what's with her being a famous mythical being… or an alternate version of that.

One thing led to another and they started drinking with each other and things became like this.

By now, none of what they said made sense anymore.

Rimuru was trying his best to support her.

On the other side…

"Yes, hit him, hit him hard." Milim cheered on as Fafnir was bashing a mini boss with his character. "You are getting good at this."

Fafnir was busy playing games and going from a victory dance to gamer's rage from one second to another.

Oddly enough, they seemed to have integrated quite well in the group.

It was then that Miu suddenly came to the Restaurant looking around worriedly.

"Silas-san, Tohru-chan, have any one of you seen Naruto and Kanna?"

"Huh? No… they were here but they went back in the morning if I remember correctly. Why? Are they not back home yet?"

"No… we haven't seen any of them since morning. First we thought that they had gone somewhere to play around but they didn't come back for their lunch and now they are late for their snacks too. They never miss their food… Grandpa and the rest are searching outside while I came to check for them here."

She looked extremely worried. It was then that Milim suddenly spoke up.

"Oh, those two were sneaking around and left the Restaurant when no one was paying attention."

…What?

I quickly thought of the places they could go.

"They have either gone to Miu's world, Tohru's world or Naruto's world because they only have permission to enter these worlds."

"Kanna was not in our world.we would have sensed her if she was there." Tohru said.

"Grandpa and the rest are searching for them in my world so that only leaves… Naruto's world."

A frown appeared on our faces remembering how he was treated there.

"What? Is there something wrong with his world?" Lucoa asked.

"Let's say… Naruto wasn't treated well in that place." I said and Tohru was frowning too.

"Boss, let me go there. I can search for them easily." Tohru asked me.

"Are you sure? Should I go with you too? We don't know how big that place is."

"Don't worry. I can take care of it, Boss." She patted her chest quite confidently.

"Actually, I can help too. My Universal Detection can easily find them anywhere." Milim stood up and volunteered.

"Milim."

"Umu, leave it to me. This much is easy." She puffed up her chest too.

And now I was worried for a whole other reason.

While Naruto's village didn't treat him well, I was still hesitant about unleashing a Chaos Dragon and a Dragonoid Demon Lords on their heads. After all, one person can hardly represent the whole world.

It's just that the situation was just too dire for me to care right now.

"Alright then. Be careful. Don't start a fight, okay. Remember, if there is any big trouble, call for us. We will be there in a moment." I told them seriously. "Just don't cause too much trouble, okay?"

"Okay, Boss. But boss, what if they attack us first?" She asked, making me pause.

"Then you are free to do as you wish." I don't know how strong those ninjas are but if they were able to trap something like the kyuubi inside Naruto, they might be quite strong. Holding back against them could actually harm Tohru.

"Kay."

With that, I opened the door to the ninja village Naruto lived in and they left to search for him and Kanna.
