Chinatsu secretly followed Obanai and Mitsuri, who were walking side by side. Because Obanai had awakened the "Transparent World," Chinatsu couldn't get too close to them, otherwise the perceptive Obanai would notice her.
Fortunately, Chinatsu's perception range was much wider than Obanai Iguro's. Thanks to Chinatsu's superb skill of "hitting blind spots," Obanai Iguro and Mitsuri were completely unaware of Chinatsu's approach.
However... everyone on the street except the two of them saw Chika sneaking around. If it weren't for the fact that there were no "cell phones" in this era, Chika would definitely have been called to the police by passersby and then intercepted by the police on the way.
The self-service restaurants on the street are doing very well. This business model, where you can eat whatever you want for a certain amount of money, has already achieved initial success, and the owners are making a fortune.
The boss, who was sitting in the restaurant office, was lounging on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking very comfortable.
He never imagined that this novel business model would lose money. Even if there really were big eaters who ate the equivalent of two people's portions by themselves, with such a large daily flow of people, a few more people could make up for the loss.
There can't possibly be someone who can take on ten people at once, or even someone who can eat up all the day's inventory, right?
The owner hummed a tune contentedly, completely unaware that two "demon kings" had entered his restaurant.
Mitsuri and Obanai sat on the southernmost side of the restaurant, while Chinatsu carefully sat on the northernmost side. At this distance, unless Obanai Iguro looked very carefully in their direction, he would never be able to spot Chinatsu. On the other hand, Chinatsu could easily see the two of them.
"Ahem, I'm not here to be a third wheel, I'm just having breakfast, I'll probably just glance at you a couple of times... um, just a couple of times..."
Although Chika muttered these words aloud, her mind was unusually honest. As someone who wrote "Dawn Pillar" but was actually "shipping Pillar," Chika was watching the current state of the Snake-Love couple with great interest.
As soon as Mili entered the store, she didn't even sit down. Instead, she went straight into the "food supply area" and began her hunting operation.
"This is delicious! This is delicious too! My God, Mr. Iguro, this place truly is paradise. I wonder if I could come here every day, and just one of my three meals here would make me completely content~"
While holding a plate in one hand, Mili hummed a little tune as she picked up food. She didn't specifically target the expensive items; instead, she used her "gun" (a metaphor for her skill or resource) to attack wherever she could, unleashing a barrage of food at the "food supplier" with the speed and efficiency of a whirlwind.
Before long, the table where Mitsuri and Obanai were sitting was filled with plates.
Seeing the enormous number of plates on the table, the passing waiter blinked in bewilderment before quickly stepping forward.
"Um... sir, although our restaurant offers all-you-can-eat service within a specified time, we also discourage wasteful behavior. Please make sure you finish all the food you receive. If you cannot finish, you will be charged an additional fee based on the proportion of food left on the table, according to our restaurant's policy..."
As the waiter spoke, he awkwardly took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Even though there was only a boy and a girl in front of him, the waiter felt extremely pressured.
"It's alright, Ganroji can finish all of this," Obanai said casually, waving her hand dismissively.
"Mr. Iguro! Don't talk like you don't want to eat. You have to eat too, although I can finish this amount by myself." Mitsuri looked at Obanai sitting opposite her, who had no appetite at all, and puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.
The waiter was sweating profusely with embarrassment at the conversation between the two. What could a lowly waiter like him say after they had already spoken so frankly?
Enjoy your meal.
After saying that, the waiter left Mitsuri and Obanai's side. As soon as he left, Mitsuri started eating. Although she didn't eat very fast, she showed no signs of stopping and ate at a steady pace.
While Mitsuri was eating rice, Obanai only ate a little bit. He was the type to eat very little, and he could even go three days without eating without any problem.
The buffet time is not unlimited, but limited to two hours. However, it doesn't matter whether there are two hours before that, and the waiters will turn a blind eye if you exceed the time limit, since it won't cause any loss.
But as Mitsuri joined the fray, and as each second ticked by, the waiters broke out in a cold sweat. They started counting down the time after only an hour had passed, and when two hours were up, they rushed to the two of them for instructions.
"Um... well... time's up..."
"Oh! Oh! Right away! Right away!"
As Miri spoke, she hurriedly ate the last bit of food left on the table. At this moment, there were only a lot of empty plates left on their table, with hardly any food scraps left.
"I haven't had such a satisfying meal in ages!!!"
Mitsuri stood up from her seat and happily stretched out her arms.
"Mr. Iguro, are you full?"
"Yes, I'm full."
"Hehe, let's come again sometime. I hope Chinatsu can come with us next time too~"
Mitsuri and Obanai chatted leisurely as they slowly walked out of the restaurant. The waiters listened with trepidation as they left, as if they were seeing off a living devil.
The "food supply area" in the self-service restaurant had become noticeably desolate, with the chefs in the back kitchen frantically tossing woks, covered in sweat, to temporarily replenish some hot dishes.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief after Mitsuri left, Chinatsu, who had also been sitting for two hours, was not asked to leave the buffet restaurant because she hadn't shown any particular prowess.
At this moment, her face was filled with a happy smile. Although she hadn't eaten much, she was mentally satisfied after two hours of shipping the couple.
However, since Mitsuri had already left, it was time to eat something. With that thought in mind, Chinatsu stood up from her seat and leisurely walked towards the "food supply area".
At this moment, the chefs, waiters, and owner of the buffet restaurant were unaware of the seriousness of the situation. On the surface, they had successfully sent away a living devil, but in reality, they had awakened a true demon king!
"Hmph~ Hmph~ Hmph~ This one looks pretty good, and this one is alright too. Which one should I eat? Oh well... only children make choices, I want them all!"
