Inside the Wagnaria restaurant, Shido and Tohka sat down at a table near the corner. This place had a great atmosphere, totally worthy of the praise that it received.
"Welcome, what can I get for you two?"
A waitress came to the couple's table with a smile on her face.
Her name was Popura Taneshima, having the look of a grade school student, but she had enormous breasts that could outrank most of the high school girls. In addition, her long brown hair was her most outstanding trait.
But right now, she had the hairstyle of ... a boat?
Shido and Tohka were both genuinely amazed by this bizarre hairstyle. In fact, even Mukuro Hoshimiya had never tried a hairstyle like this. Maybe they should try it next time.
Noticing the shock on the couple's faces, the loli gave a wry smile and asked:
"Well, what do you think of my hairstyle?"
"Your hair looks awesome, it's like a boat!"
Tohka answered with an honest and innocent expression.
"A boat?"
Popura Taneshima was confused. In fact, she didn't know what kind of hairstyle was on her head right now. She only knew that Satou Jun messed with her hair right before Shido and Tohka walked in. Since she had to greet the new customers, she did not have the time to check her hair.
Satou Jun was a very tall and handsome young man with a slim but firm build, had blonde hair with bangs always covering his left eye. His favorite hobby was messing with Popura's hair.
Shido, as if realizing something, suddenly asked:
"Well then, will you let us eat cake?"
"Cake? Yes, I want a piece of chocolate cake, strawberry cake, and mango cake! Also, a kinako bread cake!"
Tohka, not understanding Shido's joke, ordered desserts on a rampage.
"I'm sorry, what?"
Popura asked in confusion. She didn't understand either Shido's question or Tohka's order for kinako bread cake.
"Well, you must know that the last Queen of France, Marie Antoinette, spoke this famous quote 'Let them eat cake', and since her hair looked like a boat just like yours, I thought maybe you would understand this joke?"
Shido smiled frankly.
"..."
Popura blushed in embarrassment, then quickly ran off to the kitchen. Shido could hear her yelling, "Satou-sannnnn!"
Well, hopefully she wouldn't be too mad with Satou Jun.
Now that there was nobody to take orders, Shido and Tohka called for another waitress. A blonde girl noticed the couple's gestures and started coming over.
Shido recognized this girl: Gabriel the angel!
He had been trying to talk to her for days, but to no avail. However, today was his lucky day!
But since she was working, would now be a good time to ask her about the Kabbalah Tree of Life?
"Hey, what do you want?"
Gabriel asked rudely. This was not the right attitude of a waitress toward the guests, but since she was a useless angel, she didn't give a damn.
In fact, she should try out at the Stile Cafe across the street. A lot of people there might like it very much.
But for Shido, he didn't like it at all. He chuckled lightly, looking at Tohka and said:
"Tohka, do you know that you can file a complaint to the manager if the waitress is being rude to you? What's more, the manager will punish her severely by deducting her salary..."
Tohka stared blankly at Shido, not quite sure what he was talking about.
But Gabriel understood exactly what Shido meant since the manager said something similar yesterday, it's just that she didn't take it seriously.
Now that she heard Shido mentioning this, she couldn't help being taken aback!
After all, the reason why she came out to work was because her allowance had been reduced. Since she was determined to live in this world, despite not being a good angel, she decided to find a part-time job with a high salary. Therefore, she came to this Wagnaria Restaurant for an interview.
The interview went very smoothly, perhaps because she was cute, which was a very important hiring factor, and today, she officially started working.
Unexpectedly, the first guest she greeted made things difficult for her.
If her salary was deducted, then she wouldn't be able to purchase any items in the game tonight.
Gabriel gritted her teeth, and suddenly showed a gentle smile, asking softly:
"For two? It's a pleasure to serve you..."
"Okay."
Shido nodded affirmatively. He didn't expect this trick to be so useful, but Gabriel looked much better looking like this.
Moreover, Shido clearly felt that Gabriel didn't seem to recognize him, even though they were classmates.
But maybe in Gabriel's mind, human affairs had nothing to do with her. She only cared about angels and demons, so she couldn't care less about other things.
It didn't matter to Shido, since it would be convenient for him to inquire about some things.
"May I take your orders?"
"A couple's set meal!"
Shido didn't hesitate; he was here for the couple's package!
"Are the two of you a couple? You guys look really cute together, like a pair made in heaven..."
Gabriel said flatteringly, hoping that Shido would forget what happened just now.
It's all about the money!
In fact, Gabriel had mastered the essence of the service industry, which was to deceive customers with a smile.
Shido could see through her little cover, however, he didn't plan on blowing it. More importantly...
If he didn't take back what he just said, she might destroy the world!
Judging from Gabriel's character, she really could do such a thing. Since Shido had something to ask the other party, he didn't want to offend her too much. Therefore, he nodded with satisfaction, saying with a smile:
"You have a very good attitude. I will praise you to the manager..."
"Really?"
Gabriel asked with bright eyes. If a complaint means a deduction of wages, then a praise must mean an increase in wages!
She wouldn't mind smiling more if she could please Shido and increase her salary. After all, back in her days of living in heaven, she used to get her ways with a sweet smile all the time.
"Really!"
Shido replied affirmatively.
"Really really?"
Gabriel asked again.
"Really really!"
Shido nodded again.
Tohka, who was next to him, was stunned by her tone. Why did the conversation between the two sound so familiar?
"Then please wait a moment..."
Saying that, Gabriel hopped back to the kitchen and asked the chef in the back kitchen to prepare the couple's set meal requested by Shido.
"What's wrong?"
Shido looked at Tohka and found that the other party was in a daze.
"Shido, I heard good things about the desserts here. They should be three-quarters as good as kinako bread!"
Tohka suddenly exclaimed.
"Really? If you say so..."
Shido smiled helplessly. In his mind, the dessert of the couple's package was much better than any kinako bread. But since she loved kinako bread so much, he simply let her be.
"So Tohka, what did you do at home?"
Shido asked casually.
"Watching TV."
Tohka tilted her head. Since there was really nothing to do, she watched a TV show in order to kill time. Although she wanted to order a takeout, she worried that if she ate too much, she would not be able to eat during the date with Shido. Therefore, she endured her hunger until now.
Right now, she is very hungry and wants the food to come immediately!
After chatting for a while, Gabriel ran over again, took some desserts, put them in front of the two, and said sweetly:
"Two couple's macarons and puddings, please enjoy!"
As she said that, she blinked, as if to remind Shido that he must tell the manager good things about her.
Shido gave a wry smile and nodded. He realized that if he didn't do what she wanted, she wouldn't be very happy with him, and that would sabotage his plan.
Looking at Gabriel's performance, it's worth praising her to the manager. If Gabriel was in a good mood, she might tell him the location of the Kabbalah Tree of Life...
