() Hello, Auntie Chubby!
Although it was not mealtime yet, that did nothing to stop the restaurant from being filled with the aromas of all kinds of food. Auntie Chubby, the proprietress, had to prepare some ingredients in advance, such as fried lotus fish and dishes that needed to simmer for a long time.
After catching that alluring fragrance, so utterly different from the monotonous, unpleasant smell of rust on the lighthouse, little girl 9033 unconsciously kept flaring her nostrils while following closely behind Annie.
Since it was her first time there, she subconsciously clutched Annie's hem. Her eyes were filled with timid anxiety, curiosity, and hope toward this unfamiliar place called a "restaurant."
"Sit over here!"
(￣︶￣)
Annie, meanwhile, was like a cheerful little Imp returning home. The moment she entered the restaurant, she swaggered over to a table, let 9033 sit down, then slapped the tabletop hard and shouted toward the kitchen at the top of her lungs:
"Auntie Chubby, come over and take our order!"
○(^皿^)っHiahiahia...
"Hurry up!"
Although this was only her second visit, she was not shy at all. She simply let her clear, shrill voice echo through the restaurant, successfully drawing curious glances from several couples who were eating.
"..."
A full minute later, a plump proprietress with an aggrieved expression finally ambled out of the kitchen.
Perhaps cooks never lacked food to eat, so her figure was just as plump as before. The fat on her face jiggled with every step, and her eyes were filled with helplessness, annoyance, and displeasure.
Soon!
She walked angrily to Annie and 9033's table, planted her hands on her hips, glared at Annie, and asked irritably:
"You again, you rude little brat!"
"I'm not deaf. Why are you shouting so loudly? Can't you behave yourself?"
From her
