I Open a Restaurant in Honkai Chapter 32

Zhao Bai played hard to get, saying, "My restaurant recently stocked a new batch of food: 1986 Soviet-produced salmon roe sausages, specially made for the space program, they've been to space, and have a shelf life of forty years."

"Sounds good."

Bronya wasn't interested in ordinary food like Sapporo ramen, cream of mushroom soup, or beef stew pizza. To win her over, one needed high-grade military rations, preferably Russian-made.

"Alright."

Bronya readily agreed.

After parting ways with Bronya, Zhao Bai walked a few steps back towards the dormitory and suddenly stopped.

His teammate had vanished into the darkness.

Zhao Bai, however, strode back to the hazardous chemical storage room they had just left and retrieved his prized cooking utensil.

Scythe · Other Shore Gate.

In the past, ingredients sliced by this scythe would disappear, making even chopping leeks difficult. Zhao Bai had no idea what to do with it.

Now, Zhao Bai finally understood.

Since slicing things made them disappear, could it, conversely, cut things that had already disappeared?

Zhao Bai didn't know, but it was worth a try, as it didn't cost anything.

The Other Shore Gate, despite its imposing, person-sized form, was incredibly light, like a feather, as if it didn't exist in physical space. It was a product of the sea of quantum foam.

Zhao Bai held the Other Shore Gate and moved it back and forth across the empty space, as if plowing a field.

With a clack.

He felt a tremor and looked up. In the glow of the mining lamp, a pale blue mecha slowly materialized, surrounded by red light, its surging power seeming on the verge of exploding.

A... Titan?

A giant Titan appeared before him, and Zhao Bai was completely stunned.

This time, he was truly in danger.

Zhao Bai couldn't even begin to think of this pile of metal scraps as an ingredient, and the Other Shore Gate hadn't caused any damage. It had merely knocked it out of its quantum state. Its materialized, massive form exuded an oppressive aura.

It remained motionless, not even its indicator lights flickering.

"Hoo—"

Zhao Bai instinctively held his breath, his heart pounding wildly.

After what felt like an eternity, Zhao Bai felt as if a century had passed. The Titan never activated and simply vanished in the light, as if everything that had happened was just an illusion.

What in the world was going on?

Zhao Bai, trembling with fear, returned to his dormitory and told Theresa everything.

"What exactly is going on?"

Theresa was playing Resident Evil 7, a horror game disguised with a veneer of biological science, leaning heavily into the supernatural.
