I Opened a Restaurant in Honkai

Bronya is a rich little girl, completely different from the poor Kiana.

Why would someone like that be interested in ghosts?

With doubt and confusion, Zhao Bai quietly returned to his room to sleep, opening for business as usual at eight the next morning.

Greeting the sunrise and morning dew, Rita, carrying various kitchen cleaning supplies, had just started her shift. As she prepared to enter the kitchen to clean as a matter of course, she was met with a closed door.

Fu Hua stood before her like an iron tower.

Rita asked with slight surprise, "Lady Fu Hua, why are you blocking my way?"

"For now, I am a Guardian Knight."

Her voice, cold and emotionless, showcased her competence as a security professional. Fu Hua was in a bad mood because Zhao Bai hadn't told her that the maid he wanted her to stop was Rita.

Rita was a Valkyrie from headquarters, while Fu Hua was an informant planted within St. Freya by headquarters.

Their meeting was incredibly awkward.

Fu Hua couldn't cooperate with Rita's actions. She was a hidden informant, only cooperating with Schicksal. Her usual duty was to report on campus activities to headquarters. If she rashly helped Rita, she risked exposure and would have to return to headquarters for reassignment.

Compared to the troublesome European headquarters, Fu Hua preferred the Far East Branch.

Rita understood this, which was why she was so surprised, her micro-expressions betraying a momentary loss of control, her composure shattered.

After a simple disguise, Rita tied up her ash-blonde hair, revealing her wine-red pupils beneath her bangs. She concealed the tear mole at the corner of her eye with concealer, completely changing her demeanor.

Without a close look, no one would recognize her as the vice-captain of the Immortal Blade.

To avoid exposure, Rita didn't interact much with Fu Hua, treating it as normal interaction between a knight and a maid. She occasionally glanced into the kitchen, only to see a cold metal password-protected door.

As noon approached, Zhao Bai walked out with plates.

He fearlessly met Rita's gaze, sidestepped Fu Hua's slender frame, and placed two bowls of creamy mushroom soup with white bread on the table. The slightly thick white soup contained chopped onions and mushrooms, with a layer of freshly ground black pepper on top, exuding a rich, invigorating aroma.

"My apologies for the poor hospitality."

"This is today's employee lunch, only made enough for two. I personally don't have a taste for French cuisine, so I used leftover milk and butter to make some stew for myself."

Zhao Bai yawned, lazily inviting them to eat.

While cutting the bread, Rita walked up to the table with a smile. Zhao Bai immediately felt a chill run down his spine, his body involuntarily trembling.

Looking up to meet her eyes, Rita remained silent, simply smiling and looking at him.

It was the same look a cat would give a mouse it was about to play with.

Like a player who had finally encountered a challenging and interesting level, Zhao Bai clearly understood everything Rita was conveying without her saying a word.

If you have the guts, try to seduce me!

After lunch, work continued. Rita did not attempt to seduce Zhao Bai, which left him feeling slightly disappointed. The afternoon's staff meal was plum onigiri. Zhao Bai experimented with the newly purchased sushi vinegar, and while it wasn't as perfect as he'd imagined, the employees still finished it all.

The moon was bright and the stars were few; it was nine in the evening.

Ghosts didn't come out during the day, only at night.

Although he didn't believe in ghosts, his teammates had school during the day, and Zhao Bai had his shop. Only at night did he have the time to deal with such matters.
