I Opened a Restaurant in Honkai

"Don't mention it. Eat your steak first and stay alive. This is top-grade Wagyu, its marbling like snowflakes. It doesn't come cheap."

Zhao Bai tried to keep his voice deep and steady. The girl was on the verge of collapse, and any slight movement could push her further towards the cliff of despair. In such a state, even a god couldn't save her.

The cut beef was just the right size for the girl's small cherry mouth. Zhao Bai sprinkled the last of the rosemary flakes onto the meat. With a burst of fragrance, he swiftly grabbed a piece of beef and placed it into her mouth.

Food is paramount, Honkai be gone.

The light purple crystals dissolved, and the naked girl fell. She felt no shame; instead, her eyes sparkled as she grabbed another piece of beef.

The second bite pulled her back from the brink of erosion.

By the third bite, her body had completely returned to normal.

With the fourth and final bite, the girl's Honkai energy resistance was already comparable to that of a Valkyrie of Destiny.

Zhao Bai's expression was calm as he helped up the stunned girl. He extended his right hand, palm open, eliciting a look of bewilderment from her.

"What are you waiting for? Pay up."

Zhao Bai's tone was arrogant. After all, he had just saved her life, so asking for money was only natural.

The top-grade Wagyu ribs went without saying, but the Heavenly Fire Judgment used for grilling and the Raikiri for slicing were rare and precious kitchen utensils that ordinary people would never use for cooking.

"Ribs: 1068 yuan. Delivery fee: 50 yuan. Please settle the bill promptly."

Zhao Bai clasped his hands together and said sincerely.

The girl put on her clothes, her face flushed as she fumbled for her money. Snapping back from the aroma of the food, she suddenly realized she was completely naked with a male delivery person standing before her.

No matter how she looked at it, the situation was terrible.

Zhao Bai calmly accepted the money, counted it carefully, and nodded at her once he confirmed it was correct.

"Miss Chen, thank you for your patronage."

"N-no problem."

Miss Chen was studying alone far from home. Recently, for some reason, she had been feeling down, and one misfortune after another had befallen her. Her negative emotions had finally reached their threshold, triggering this terrifying phenomenon.

Girls, emotional as they are, are indeed favorites of the Honkai. Fortunately, Zhao Bai arrived in time; otherwise, she would have been handed over to the Cleanup Crew.

Miss Chen would have been erased without a trace.

She sighed, finished the last bite of beef, and sat down gently, sighing at Zhao Bai.

"Until just now, I felt so alone in this world, about to die alone. Until you came, I didn't know there was so much beauty in the world."

"My classmates ostracized me, my colleagues at work isolated me, and even my parents didn't understand me. But it doesn't seem that important anymore."

"I'm... very happy now."

Zhao Bai frowned, unsure how to respond. He wasn't good with words to begin with, and after racking his brain, he managed to come up with a comforting phrase.

"In this world, only good food and love are not to be let down."

Miss Chen was taken aback. It truly sounded like something a chef would say, impactful and filled with the warmth of everyday life. It even made her want to enroll in culinary school.
