My Honkai Restaurant

Zhao Bai begged for mercy and waved his hands, letting the topic drop. To be honest, while having all his ribs broken sounded serious, it wasn't actually a critical injury. He just wouldn't be able to sleep on his stomach for the next few months.

Zhao Bai didn't write that Kiana had personally snapped his ribs.

While he might have received compensation from the girl if he had, the thought of Kiana not being able to patronize the restaurant if she paid money made Zhao Bai feel like something was missing.

In the pitch-black night, a mundane mission report was sent from the Far East Branch to headquarters.

The hand moving the mouse suddenly stopped.

It was a woman exuding elegance, wearing noble black lace gloves, a ruffled maid outfit, and form-fitting stockings. Her slender legs were crossed, and her black high heels tapped the ground intermittently, making drum-like sounds. A scythe hung on the wall, entwined with vines and rose branches, with dim roses.

Rita Rossweisse.

As the vice-captain of Immortal Blade, it was unusual for such a low-level mission report to reach her. However, this lady had a particular fondness for roses and often searched for the term on Schicksal's internal network, which led her to this report.

"A Honkai Beast with roses on its back, utterly hideous..."

Rita smiled as she saw the picture of the dead Honkai Beast, then suddenly noticed the wounds and burn marks on the ground. They seemed somewhat familiar, reminding Rita of something astonishing.

"This seems rather interesting?"

She glanced again at the list of executors, which included Kiana Kaslana and a Shenzhou native named Zhao Bai.

Kiana was automatically ignored; Schicksal knew everything about her. What was important was this Shenzhou native. Rita continued her search and discovered that this Shenzhou native owned a restaurant at St. Freya Academy, with Theresa as its brand ambassador.

Rita knew it was time to make a move.

Author's Note: After I finished updating last night, I was busy baking bread. The ingredients were flour, white sugar, milk, eggs, and dried cranberries. My mom always said that white bread wasn't healthy, so I added some crushed brown sugar for color. When it came out of the oven, it looked similar to whole wheat bread from outside.

Who knew that when I woke up this morning, I found faint black residue in my fingernails. I instinctively licked it, only to realize it was facial cleanser!!!

Waking up and taking a bite of facial cleanser.

How could anyone handle that?

Considering how miserable I am, please give me a triple like.

Chapter 12: Rita's Arrival

Zhao Bai had been very busy these past few days, but he also felt very fulfilled. The restaurant was open from morning till night, with customers every day and a unique "Today's Special" served daily. Only the foot traffic remained unchanged.

Until this day, when he finally got into big trouble.

Zhao Bai sat behind the counter, his apron half-open, watching a video of slaughterhouse workers aging beef. Suddenly, the curtain was pulled aside, and a intoxicating floral scent wafted into his nose. Zhao Bai looked up sharply, holding his breath. He saw a woman standing at the doorway, dressed in a maid outfit, bowing slightly.

"It's not mealtime yet, madam. You don't look like someone who eats a lot."

"I'm here to apply for a job."

"Hm?"

Zhao Bai's heart skipped a beat. He closed the video and stood up, sizing up the elegant head maid. According to the original setting, she should be in faraway Europe and wouldn't appear on the Hyperion for a few more years. Her presence here now meant something had gone wrong, and something Zhao Bai had done had caused a shift in the worldline.

Rita Rossweisse.

Cold sweat beaded on Zhao Bai's forehead. Rita, however, keenly sensed his emotional shift. She gently brushed her hair aside, revealing her wine-red left eye hidden by ash-blonde bangs, and spoke softly:
