Meet My First Friend Pt. II

The atmosphere does not seem too crowded, the sun is not too hot because of the shady trees that seem to stagger the surrounding land. Gerard and Yuji stand in front of the restaurant's wide-open, doorless entrance. The delicious aroma of various cuisines permeates the noses of the two of them as if seducing and luring and dreaming of heavenly pleasures in the restaurant and filling their stomachs with pleasure.

The large, simple-designed restaurant looks elegant with doorless entrances and walls that are only waist-high for adults, so that restaurant visitors and passers-by can see each other. The cozy room and fresh air that freely wanders around the breeze brings the scent of the world and comes out carrying the aroma of delicious cuisine.

The sound of the pot is hit and the rumble of an old man is suddenly heard from inside the cooking kitchen, which is very clearly visible from inside the restaurant. Restaurants where diners and kitchens are limited only by a reservation table that extends from the end of the room and is waist-high, with the Main menus on top.

"Gerarrrrrdddd!!!!! Welcome to my restaurant.....!!"

"Ah?!" *Bang* The old man who looks stocky and wears a white chef's uniform, in his left hand carries a large frying pan and his right hand holds a large kitchen knife, suddenly attacking the Gerrard! A shocked baby Yuji can only close his eyes tightly!

Slowly Yuji opened his eyes and what happened was, he saw his grandpa had pulled out his short sword which had previously been around his grandpa's waist. Gerrard swiftly repels the old man's attack dressed as the chef.

"G-Gwampa...!!" Yuji reflexively holds his grandfather's robe tightly and shows a sad and anxious face.

"The two old men who were brandishing swords and knives then glanced at the little baby and simultaneously laughed very loudly.

"Bwahahahaha....!!"

"Hahahaha..."

Shocked and confused Yuji is stunned, his grandfather hugs him, and the chef-dressed old man approaches Yuji and smiles.

"Hey Yuji, how are you? You've grown up apparently."

"Well, you don't remember me? I am Mr. Juna, you can call me grand uncle Juna."

"Back when we met, you were a very young baby, and probably don't remember. Hahaha..." The old man dressed as the chef turned out to be Mr. Juna, Gerard's old friend when he was a child. Yuji felt a touch of grand uncle Juna's rough hands wiping away a little of his tears.

"Don't cry, then gran uncle will make you a special dish, okay?" Juna puts the pot and kitchen knife he brought and lifts Yuji into the air with a happy smile.

"wow... Itz vewwy hiwg ankel gwempa..." Little Yuji immediately changes mood and looks happy with his angelic smile. Then the three of them immediately headed to the table closest to the kitchen, the customers who had previously been shocked by this incident then cheered and looked happy again enjoying their food.

"It's been a long time, Juna, I didn't come here."

"Well, you haven't been here in over a year, Gerard."

"My first son has been accepted into the army in the central alliance, thank you for that time, Gerard."

"Well, let's discuss that later Juna. We're hungry!"

"Oopss...!! Hahaha, all right."

"You guys wait a minute, I'll cook you our restaurant specialties. Just wait! You must be hooked!!"

"Hahaha... All right, huss husss go... go..." The burly old man then immediately rushed to the kitchen which was only blocked by the booking table.

Moments later, Yuji drinks a drink previously given by the restaurant's waiter while waiting for the dish to be ready. He looked around, uncle grandpa Juna was in the spirit of cooking and assisted by his assistant chefs. Then Yuji's eyes are drawn to the wall on the indoor side, looks wooden motifs and some beautiful paintings, and the most interesting for Yuji, is a unique symbol of the restaurant and displayed on the wall looks shiny and graceful.

For a moment Yuji looked at the other part of the room that was crowded with visitors eating food, he saw something that made him curious, was a staircase that leads up to the corner of the room. On the stairs, there were small children playing up and down the stairs, but before he asked his grandfather questions, suddenly there was a laughing sound from the kitchen.

"Gyahahhaa..."

*Bang* He put the whole plate in acrobatic style, but strangely all the dishes are neatly arranged and none of them spill.

"Super delicious dishes are ready!" Juna is seen carrying several dishes of food at once, in his left hand there are three stacked plates, in his right hand, there are three stacked plates as well, while his arms flank one large bowl of rice.

"Waw, iz luk dewizuz angkel gwampa..."

"Hmm, it looks good Juna."

"Well, of course! I cook this. Please eat it." With the saliva melted on the cute boy's lips, he looks very happy and can't wait to enjoy the food in front of him.
