"There's an end in sight," she said.
Seiji and Matsutani also saw it, and immediately stopped making noise.
After the three of them reached the top of the stairs, they found that there were no further stairs to go up, and the only option was to enter the floor.
Seiji stepped into it first, followed by Masaki, and Matsutani was the last to close the fire door and seal it with magic.
The space on the floor is completely dark—a darkness that cannot be seen through even with spiritual vision. Only the blossoming flowers of the other shore are emitting light, illuminating the ground.
"Go towards the direction with more flowers." Seiji said.
"Why?" Yaji looked at him.
"Because if you do this, you will definitely find something... Senior Matsutani and I found you in this way before."
"Why is the other shore flower a guide?"
"I don't know about that either." Seiji shook his head.
Seeing this, Masaki didn't pursue further.
The three walked along the bright red flowers.
On the way, Seiji introduced Matsutani to Masaki.
The female high school students did not have any special reaction to Mr. Iwanoshi Rhinoceros and his works, but just greeted him in a normal way.
After walking for some time, the three saw more and more flowers on the other side.
"It's just ahead, I don't know what it will be, be careful." Seiji reminded aloud.
Masaki tensed up, and the cat ears on her head moved.
As a result, after crossing a large field of flowers, what I saw was—
"Moon Rabbit Canteen".
Masaki, Seiji and Matsutani: "..."
The three of them were silent for a few seconds facing the dark brown wooden door with the exquisite signboard above.
In addition to the name on the signboard, there is also a cute pattern of a rabbit sitting on a crescent moon. The wooden door with such a brand was erected out of thin air in the middle of the flowers on the other side, which looked a little weird.
"This is the restaurant described in Ms. Yuko Hashimoto's award-winning work 'The Moonlit Night Restaurant in Another World'," said Masaki.
"Same as yours, Senior Sister, her works are also presented in this field." Seiji touched his chin, "Miss Hashimoto is probably inside...behind this door."
"Come on, Yuan Ye-kun." Matsutani urged.
"How about you change to the senior this time as a striker? I'm in charge of the cover."
"The striker can only be a strong and handsome young man like you! It's good for an uncle like me to be an unknown defender."
"Really?"
"The one who walks ahead usually dies first, and the one who walks behind can escape!" Song Gu said seriously.
"I knew you thought so." Seiji complained.
Then, he got ready and stepped forward to open the door.
After opening the door, what you see is a bright and tidy hall with elegant decoration, and…
"Welcome to... eh?"
Hashimoto Yuko in a black and white short skirt maid outfit!
…
"Another World Moonlight Canteen" tells the story of a young man who likes to cook and aspires to inherit his father's restaurant in the future. He wants to help in the restaurant but has not been allowed. I didn't get permission until I was in high school, and then I learned the secret that the restaurant can connect to another world on a moonlit night when I was working, and I met the princess from another world who was visiting for the first time. .
For this food + different world + youthful love story, the judges’ comments summed up as “it’s good overall, but it’s not good enough where it should be, and it’s lacking in details. "
Hashimoto Yuko was quite satisfied with the result. After failing to submit manuscripts many times, she finally won an Excellence Award, which gave her a reason to continue her interest in writing novels.
She was very happy when she received the award. But I don't know what happened... She opened her eyes and found that she was in a restaurant, and this restaurant was exactly the same as the "Moon Rabbit Canteen" described in her pen! And she was wearing a waiter's costume.
Then Yuko meets the owner of the restaurant, who is the main character in the novel, the "store manager"! A handsome uncle, the protagonist's father. From her mouth, she learned that she was the only waiter in the store!
What exactly happened here!
Yuko wanted to find out what was going on, but couldn't think of how to ask.
At this time, a guest came, a red-haired warrior in armor! Also like a character in one of her works.
The store manager asked her to greet the guest.
Feeling uneasy, Yuko wanted to leave here immediately, so she crossed the soldiers to open the store door, but she couldn't see the scene outside the store, only the black mist!
This obviously abnormal black mist made her feel terrible, and she didn't dare to take a step.
At this time, the store manager reprimanded her aloud, telling her not to ignore the customers and do a good job in hospitality.
Feeling scared, Yuko had no choice but to do so, and became a waiter in this way.
…
"Miss Hashimoto... are you working as a waiter?"
"This...well, I don't know what's going on..."
Seiji looked at him.
"Just to make sure, Ms. Hashimoto, do you remember me?"
"Remember, you are Harano Seigo, the winner of the Special Prize for the Thunder Bunko Newcomer Award." Yuko replied.
"Just remember..." Seiji walked into the store and looked around, "Can you tell me what happened?"
"I don't know... I'm here for no reason. I'm wearing this suit, and I'm said to be a waiter... What exactly is this place? Why is it exactly the same as in my novel? Why am I here? I don't know anything about it! "Yuko got a little excited.
"Please keep calm, Ms. Hashimoto." Seiji said gently, "I will explain to you... Although I don't know exactly what happened, I can give you an overview of the situation."
At this time Matsutani and Masaki also entered the shop.
Yuko's eyes widened when she saw Masaki.
"...Miss Ishihara?"
"I am." The girl with cat ears nodded, "Miss Hashimoto, it's great to see that you're fine."
"Miss Ishihara, why did you become like this?" Yuko looked at her in surprise.
"I don't know either." Yaji smiled wryly.
Suddenly a bell was heard.
Seiji and others followed the sound and saw a handsome middle-aged man with a mustache and wearing a white chef uniform.
This is obviously the chef's man asking Ms. Hashimoto to quickly entertain the new guests to sit down, and then serve the dishes to the table.
"Sit down first." Yuko motioned.
"Can I order food?" Matsutani asked.
"Can… "
"Then I want to order food." The fat uncle immediately sat down at a nearby seat, "I was looking forward to the banquet after the awards ceremony, but I was involved in this ghost place, and I was starving to death with all kinds of busy work."
"Senior, you're quite straightforward at a time like this." Seiji looked at him, "Aren't you worried about the food here?"
"If something feels wrong, I can use magic to vomit out all the food I ate!" Matsutani said fearlessly.
Masaki and Yuko: "..."
"That's disgusting... If you really want to do that, please go to the toilet." Seiji twitched the corners of his mouth.
Then he and Masaki also sat down.
Just looking at the environment, it looks like an ordinary small restaurant, nothing unusual.
I don't know what is hidden under such a scene... But at least for the moment, I can take a rest. Seiji thought to himself.
Matsutani actually ordered the meal.
After Yuko Hashimoto brought the curry rice he ordered, he picked up the spoon, put a mouthful of rice into his mouth, and chewed...
The next moment, his expression froze.
Still out of power...
