My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

The two entered and were quickly greeted by the attendant, although he wasn\'t wearing butler clothes, he was still wearing formal clothes to work in such a prestigious looking yet rather empty café.

"Welcome to our Café- Oh my? Harumi and… Frank!"

And it was a red-haired man with a handsome face, Dan!

"Wait, Dan?!" asked Frank.

"Hello Dan, we came to eat something here… We are in our date." Said Harumi.

"Ohooo?! I see, I see! AH~! Youth is such a wonderful thing, isn\'t it? You two are enjoying yourselves? Hm?" asked Dan.

"I-I guess…" said Frank.

"He brought me to a maid café by accident." Sighed Harumi.

"M-Maid café? Pfff… Hahaha!" laughed Dan.

"Dan! Stop talking with the customers so much and serve them! I am not paying you to make friends!"

An old man, Gustavo, showed up, he was the owner of the Café.

"Hm? Oh, it is you two…" said Gustavo, he seemed to work here to pass the time. He had become an exceptional coffee brewer and chef.

"G-Gustavo?! I never thought you would… work in such a place." Said Frank.

"Well, we all got our own lives, don\'t we, young man?" asked Frank.

"Yeah, this is his café, actually. He made it around ten years ago, he mostly works here as a hobby, he likes to cook and make coffee… I\'ve been coming here with mom since I was a kid." Said Harumi.

"Really? I see…" said Frank.

"Please, my lady, feel free to take a seat with your friend…. Dan! Why are you standing there? Quickly ask for their order." Said Gustavo.

Gustavo was a very strict Boss, Dan was working here because he actually liked the job and the pay was good, despite being a Vampire that could easily hunt monsters to make some buck, the pay that Gustavo offered was even better and it was more fun than hunting monsters…

Well, generally, all the strong Vampires in the Clan were millionaires, but to grow stronger they need to buy resources from the underground, or to keep themselves stronger as well, and that costs a fortune, so all the amount of money the gather can fly away very easy, a stable source of income like this helps Dan and Gustavo, and is also a way to have fun and stress out from their real work as… well, some sort of mercenary-like organization that has suddenly shifted into the entertainment business.

Frank and Harumi sat down in front of each other, as Dan gave them the menu.

"Here\'s your menu, lads." He said.

"Thanks…" said Frank.

"Thank you," said Harumi.

Dan walked away and quickly brought two glasses of cold water with a bit of lemon, and recently baked bread, with a bit of butter and strawberry jam.

"This is on the house, whenever you\'re ready to order, call me." Said Dan with a gentle smile, as he moved away to let the two kids on their own.

The two checked the menu with a lot of detail.

Frank noticed a lot of amazing-looking things, his mouth began to water. Everything looked so nice, but he had yet to see Gustavo\'s cooking. He still couldn\'t believe an old man could cook so good.

"I guess I\'ll order Tonkatsu Rice Bowl with egg… And to drink… a cappuccino." Said Frank.

"I\'m going for my Omurice… And a mocha." Said Harumi.

The two ordered to Dan as he nodded.

"Very well then, I\'ll bring you the coffee first, those are prepared quickly, Gustav will make the food right away." Said Dan.

He gave Gustavo the orders as the old man nodded and went to the kitchen to cook.

The two saw as Dan masterfully prepared the two coffee and added some biscuits of various colors and flavors too.

"Here, these are on the house." He said.

"Oh, biscuits, thanks." Said Frank.

"Thank you Dan, I love your coffee." Said Harumi.

"Haha, you flatter me, my lady." Said Dan as he smiled gently and walked away.

"(It seems that Harumi has come here a lot before… Well, she indeed said she had come since she was a kid… Has Dan always worked here?)" wondered Frank.

Frank drank the cappuccino he ordered. The coffee was bitter yet very tasty, the bitterness combined well with the softness of the steamed milk, the foam was soft and cream-like, and the aroma was intoxicatingly delicious.

"Hahhh… This coffee is first grade." Said Frank.

"Right? I love mocha coffee, the chocolate goes so well with the coffee…" said Harumi, as she bean snacking on the cookies, Frank did as well.

The cookies were fresh and buttery, there were some that were covered in chocolate, others were chocolate-flavored, and others had a bit of strawberry jelly on top…

The two finished them off in an instant with the coffee…

Frank noticed that Gustavo was working, preparing everything attentively behind the kitchen.

In around twenty minutes, everything was ready.

Dan brought the two orders.

"Omurice and Tonkatsu Rice Bowl with Egg, enjoy." He said.

It looked wondrous!

Frank and Harumi\'s eyes shone brightly at the beautiful plates.

The Omurice was tenderly placed over the fried rice, with the ketchup on top making Harumi\'s name in English. The egg omelete was masterfully made and it was tender.

The moment Harumi pierced it with her fork, a fountain of egg yolk began to come out, she quickly caught a bit with a spoon alongside the delicious fried rice with chicken, and took a bite.

"Hmmm~"

Harumi found herself in her past, the first moments she came here.

"One of my servants works here, dear, you know? Uncle Gustavo? He prepares very Good food, he used to work as a butler and chef for an aristocratic family." Said Clementine.

"R-Really?" wondered Harumi.

"Of course! Let\'s go…" said Clementine.

Clementine carried the little Harumi in her arms, opening the door as the two were greeted by Gustavo and Dan.

"Oh, lady Clementine! Welcome!" said Gustavo.
