That afternoon, Mr. Juna was busy with his restaurant, grandpa Gerrard was also busy buying wholesale goods for sale, while little Yuji was alone, he was allowed to play around in the restaurant.
What's up there? Little Yuji wondered deeply and was very curious. With his tiny hands and feet, he climbed the wide stairs by crawling step by step. Some of the customers who saw him, even Kirno, who was initially assigned to supervise her, felt anxious and eager to help the little boy climb the stairs upstairs, but they could only see him and were amazed by the little boy's efforts. The voices of the customers are heard saying quietly.
Customer 1 "Hey, look at that little boy! How funny is he ..."
Customer 2 "Yes, very funny! Look at him trying so hard to climb the stairs up."
Customer 3 "Ahh, I want to carry him..."
Kirno, who is downstairs, follows little Yuji from behind while carrying a large dish in his hand. He slowly follows from behind and keeps Yuji from falling. He muttered in his mind, "This little boy has been taught to live independently and is not cared for by his parents."
"Ahh!! Why do I think that, focus on the job! And don't let anything bad happen to this kid!"
The sound of cheerful children laughing accompanied by thunderous steps from upstairs, the sound of children running around the stairs.
"Rachel! Wait!"
"I'm first, Brother Leo!"
"Hey, wait for me!"
"Kyaa...!"
"Owoo...!"
"Rachel!!" one of the children nudges Yuji and luckily Yuji clings to the stair handle, but the girl who hit Yuji could have fallen if Kirno hadn't caught her.
While carrying a large meal, Kirno manages to save the little girl. Kirno immediately observes the situation and makes sure Yuji is okay.
"Are you guys okay?"
"Thank you sir..." The little girl looks a little guilty.
"Yuji are you okay?"
"Am fine ankel Kilno." Despite looking dashing and with a thin mustache, yellow hair with a strapping body, it turns out that Uncle Kirno is a good and caring person.
"Rachel!" the two boys with the little girl then shout and approach the little girl who had been rescued by Kirno.
"Rachel, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, brothers."
"Heh! What are you doing on the stairs!!"
"Hey! what are you doing brother Leo?!"
"This kid almost got you down!" The biggest boy shouts and points at poor Yuji.
"Yes, you almost fell!" The second child shouts blame at Yuji.
"No! It's my fault, he is innocent!"
"Hey kids, don't fight on the stairs, let's go up first." Kirno, who already understands who the three children are, immediately calms the anger of one of them and tries to find a way to save Yuji. Judging by their clothes, it is certain that they are the children of the rich or at least the children of influential people. Kirno, who understands the customers who come to her restaurant, immediately heads to the children's parents to apologize on behalf of little Yuji.
Moments later, they walked upstairs. The two boys incessantly glared at Yuji who looked terrified. The girl Rachel can only hold Yuji's hand which is being carried by Kirno. The dish, which was previously brought by Kirno, is now brought by another waiter.
Kirno muttered "Ouch! Damn it! Why does he have to deal with nobles! Oh, poor boy."
**
On the second floor of the restaurant, there is a VVIP room that can only be used by important people or nobles, the room is very spacious and decorated with antic and luxurious items and sofa chairs and tapestries with comfortable pillows, open and spacious views are visible throughout the city. Actually, this place is on the 4th floor, but it is set as the 2nd floor because the floor below is used as a warehouse and not used for public.
Right in front of the door to the VVIP room there are 4 guards dressed in armor, all brand armor without helmets with a special crest that is the emblem of sambir city, two of them carry a long sword like a samurai, while one of them carries a large shield on his shoulders, while one person is seen not carrying any weapons.
"Ankel I'm afled..." Yuji's moody face is seen, which worries Kirno. Even more so after seeing the elite special forces guards guarding the door. They're not just any elite guard, but they're special forces city guards appointed directly by the alliance headquarters.
But unwittingly by Kirno and Yuji, the look on the faces of the two boys who initially scolded Yuji already looks better, after they had previously spoken to the girl who nudged Yuji on the stairs earlier.
"Don't worry uncle and little brother, I've spoken to my two brothers. And they understand."
*Sniff* "Thank God!" Kirno doesn't know what to do and can only wipe away a few tears coming out of Yuji's scared eyes.
"This brother of mine, they're both outrageous! Never mind them!"
"Then, may we excuse us, little lady?"
"No! I want to apologize to this little brother for scaring him." The girl pulled Kirno's shirt and dragged her into the room, while her two older brothers just looked and then walked ahead of us.
There were only two people sitting in the room enjoying the drink in front of them. A man who looks dashing and authoritative, has a thin beard with a sharp stare, looks thoughtful with his white hair that looks in harmony with his face that is still like a grown man, looking impressive in a blue shirt and blue trousers. While one is a graceful woman who wears a white shirt and a wide purple skirt, her beautiful, black-haired paras add to her elegance, at first glance she is similar to the girl who bumped into Yuji, but the mini version.
"Dad! Mom! the food has come!"
"Uh, who is he?" The elegant-looking woman saw her three children taking a waitress who was holding a boy and then asked a question.
"I grabbed this little brother and almost made him fall down the stairs, so I invited him to eat with us as an apology, Mom."
"Looks like our daughter has a lot of sympathies, honey." The man flatters his daughter and then smiles while his wife pouring a drink into his cup.
"Eh! Uh, I'm going to go Greetings Lord Ganendra! I'm sorry for my indiscrimy!" Kirno seemed fascinated by the woman's beauty and gawked for a while, and then seemed to realize that she was in front of the ruler of Sambir city.
"Hahaha, take it easy. I'm not a scary person."
"Lord Ganendra, I represent this child, would like to apologize for the incident on the stairs." While bowing half-body Karno apologized to Ganendra.
"It's okay. It's just a trivial thing."
Suddenly there was a small child's voice that made the atmosphere freeze.
"Am sowwy lowd!" With twinkling eyes and a little shaking Yuji apologized.
"Wh-what?!" Surprisingly the beautiful woman in front of Kirno walks closer and then holds Yuji's head.
"Uh, waiter. Can I take him for a second?"
"Y-yes, your highness." A shocked Kirno can only petrify and just accept his fate.
The city leader's wife then lifted Yuji from Kirno and carried him and took him to his seat again.
"This boy will be with us first, you can go back to work again."
"Y-yes, your highness."
"Don't worry, my wife is not a bad person. He's safe with us." Said Lord Ganendra.
Then the three children sat down with their families. Little Yuji just ducked down and was a little bit squeaky.
"Hey little brother, forgive my brothers Okay! I'm Rachel, greetings. Hehehe..."
