Isekai Restuarant (Rewrite)

- Ainz -

Damn….that line was cool.

Cid's commitment to roleplay was quite admirable.

He looked at Silas who was still undecided.

His friend was really soft sometimes….not to say he was a coward.

The move he made to cut Sakura's chains was almost instinctive, without even realising it himself.

Rimuru was right.

He was a damn harem protagonist saving girls and expanding his harem….

But he was their friend and for Ainz….that's all that mattered.

"Let him try, Silas. If anything goes wrong, you can always cut those chains away. Worst case, I can bring out something to fix any lasting problems." He offered.

Silas once more looked at Cid. "Are you sure you want to do it? You can always ignore Kisuke-san when he gets into his mad scientist mode."

"Ara ara, you hurt my feelings, Silas-kun." The man brought out a fan from somewhere and waved at his face.

"Shackles of the world….I have always wondered how it would feel to go up against the world all by myself. This is pretty close." Cid replied, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

"Well, sure….go ahead."

They walked out once more and this time Kisuke looked at Ikki.

"Kurogane-kun, do you have some area where some disturbance will not cause any problem for people? We can obviously fix things up before leaving."

The boy was probably feeling guilty for Sakura's situation and agreed quickly….although there was no need for him to feel guilty about anything. If anything, he had warned them in advance.

Ainz used a spell to change the way he looked and they walked to a place almost thirty minutes away from the Restaurant.

It was on the bank of what looked like a small artificial lake of sorts with no signs of civilization anywhere near.

"This place is always empty. Sometimes high ranking Blazers fight here and it rarely causes any problems."

"Great. In that case, let's get ready." Kisuke started putting on barriers all around the place.

He did the same and so did Rimuru.

Even Silas threw some barriers around the place.

"This should be good."

Kisuke set up some investigative spells and they were all ready.

"Alright, Silas. Get ready. We interfere when Ci….I mean Shadow asks. I am starting." Rimuru did and just as before two flashes of light lit up Cid's hands, slowly taking the form of two….are those….

"Crowbars?"

"I knew it. These are definitely weapons with the best potential." Cid said as he spun the crowbars all around himself.

Just as he was doing so, the black chains appeared again, tying him up.

He didn't resist but actually offered himself, spreading his arms wide.

"Oh!" Kisuke commented as he observed the process. "This is interesting. These shackles are on the person's whole being, not something between the world and the person. It kinda reminds me of the Chain of Fate. Breaking free of it brings one face to face with their inner demons, breaking the barrier between a soul and a hollow. Interesting. If my theory is even remotely close, maybe I could help you train and increase your power, Kurogane-kun." He said looking at the boy.

"You can?!"

"Oh obviously. I am more than certain I know the reason why your or the magic power of Blazers don't increase naturally or through training and even the way to bypass it. Alright, I am done collecting the data, Shadow-kun. You are free to do what you want."

Shadow looked at them and then spoke. "You all should take some distance. I am going to get serious here. A hundred metres should be enough." He said as he walked on the water to the middle of the lake.

"He can walk on Water!" Ikki-asked. "That's amazing."

In the middle of the lake, Cid stood and looked up and spread his arms and his magic power began to increase as the chains appeared once more.

At one point, the increase in his magic power stopped but he didn't stop. Instead, a large sphere of light spread out from him.

Through the eavesdropping spell, they could hear the words he was saying.

"I…."

"Am…."

"....Atomic."

And then it happened.

A pillar of magical energy rose up from his body and into the sky.

It was no less than any full power Tenth Tier Spell.

Amazing.

"Holy shit! Did he just nuke the chains?" Rimuru commented.

"My my, that's indeed something, isn't it." Kisuke tugged his hat down. "I doubt the barriers are going to be of any use now."

He turned towards the last two members and Silas, while surprised, was not stunned. It seems that Zeref's training was working for him.

Ikki was another story altogether.

The guy was looking at the scene with jaw hanging open. His surprise however didn't last for long as it changed into a look of determination.

Yeah, that's a shounen protagonist right there.

When the explosion subsided, a wave of Magic Power flowed over them before disappearing completely and from the blast zone, Cid walked out.

The whole lake had been evaporated in that attack.

"I will fix this." Silas said as he went forward and brought out his new Device and swung his knife.

Water appeared in the air, swirling in the middle of the lake and within seconds, the entire lake was full again.

Although he looked a bit drained, that was an impressive piece of magic.

Silas did say he was good with Ice and Water Magic. Maybe he should propose some exchange of knowledge with Zeref. The magic of that world was quite good too.

"I think we should leave this area as soon as we can. The authorities will be coming here very soon." Rimuru said.

He nodded and opened a Gate to the place where they had left the Restaurant and walked in as others followed.

This was certainly a surprising day.

At least they had new weapons and a way to get some good equipment for their subordinates quite easily.

- Lavinia -

"Are you sure you don't need any help, Lavinia?" Azazel asked her once more.

"No. I am perfectly fine. I am just tired and need some time away from everything." She replied, sticking to her decision.

The incident with the Wizards of Oz and the Utsusemi Organisation changed things for her.

The Restaurant….it was the place which changed her life. It was truly a magical place and not just because of its ability to connect to different worlds. No. It was because of the people who came there.

While she wasn't treated badly in the Restaurant, the opposite actually. She was treated with care and they not only saved her life but even helped to heal her back to full health. She wasn't lying when she said she didn't mind Silas' actions of making her sign the contract.

The time there gave her time to think about her life and she realised that she had been living a lie for the last several years.

What was she even going to do now that the entire goal of her life was gone?

Glenda was alive. She was just using her to study her Sacred Gear and she wanted nothing to do with her, enough to pull all that act. Not that she would want to go back after finding out that she was with the people who had experimented on the kids….and that too using the data collected from her Sacred Gear.

She could go and try to stop them….but what then?

Lavinia realised that she was tired. She was just tired of all this and she just wanted some time for herself now.

The invitation from Mr. August was just the opportunity she needed….to be away from all this so she took it in a heartbeat and she wasn't disappointed in the least.

In the last month, she had gotten a father figure in August, sisters in Brandish, Dimaria and Sakura-chan, Tohru-chan and Sil-kun had become good friends to her.

She liked learning magic with them and going around the streets of Vistarion with everyone or working in Sil-kun's Restaurant and meeting different types of people. Naruto-kun, Kanna-chan, Miu-chan, everyone in the Restaurant made her feel like a family she had forgotten about for a long time. It made her truly happy.

That's why she decided to embrace this life permanently.

She had come here to officially resign from the job. Grauzaberer was quite far away but Azazel was her temporary boss so he could deal with the things.

"I heard about the thing with Glenda. If it's any consolation, all traces of the Wizards of the Oz and the Utsusemi Organisation are gone from this country. Everything from the executives to the rats….all gone. They cannot harm you anymore." He said.

The entire country?

She did hear that Zeref-san had used some kind of super magic to take them out but she didn't know all the details of the spell. She will have to ask August-sensei later.

For now she continued the conversation. "Hmm….it's fine. I have had time to think and I am better now."

Azazel looked like he was hesitating a bit but asked nonetheless. "You are not forced…?"

"Thank you for asking but believe me….being forced is not something I have to worry about." She smiled as she remembered Sil-kun's reaction when he was apologising to her for making her sign the contract.

The only reason he was even doing so was to keep Sakura-chan from any danger. Seriously, sometimes Sil-kun was too kind for his own good. But then again, that's what made him….him.

Azazel raised an eyebrow at her comment so she changed the topic.

"The reason I am quitting is because I have taken an apprenticeship under a teacher."

"Oh?" Azazel asked, surprised at the statement.

"He is a human who likes his privacy, to remain away from this world so I cannot disclose his address to anyone."

"What's his name? He must be something if you talk so highly about him. I must have heard of him somewhere maybe."

"I seriously doubt it. Even I was only able to meet him by some chance and was invited due to some mutual friends. Anyways, I am enjoying my time learning magic in peace there and I want to keep it that way."

He looked at her for a few moments and then nodded although she could tell that he was hesitating somewhat. "Alright. If that's what you wish. Just remember that our doors are always open for you. If you want anything, you can come to us. You will always have friends in Grigori."

"Thank you, Azazel." She nodded. "Can I meet Va-kun one last time before leaving?"

He smiled at her request. "Obviously. He must be in the academy with the rest of your friends. By the way, Tobio and the rest have decided to join us and train after that encounter. They are also studying in the Nephilim Academy. You can meet them there."

"I see. I am glad to see that they are doing fine. Tobi-kun seemed very afraid last time and was injured….although he was healed too…." She suddenly stopped realising what she was talking about to not give away any more information.

Thankfully Azazel didn't poke the topic either when she ignored his raised eyebrow.

Meeting with Va-kun and the rest was fun. He seemed to be doing better and was getting along with the new students. He will be fine.

"Do you really have to go?" Va-kun asked, sad.

"Hmm. But you know what, I will come to visit sometimes….if you'd like."

"Hmph….who would like that?" he pouted and she hugged him.

He was such a tsundere sometimes.

With everything done, she waved them goodbye and left towards the Restaurant once more.

Author's Note:

I am back with another chapter of 'Isekai Restaurant.'

Several things happened.

First Silas got a taste of Lavinia's common sense and by the end of it got himself a cute girl to cuddle at nights.

I know many people want to know what Sakura is thinking. For them, there will be a Sakura pov soon.

Rimuru got a date.

Saitama has an exam soon.

The boys are preparing for a trip together.

Ikki Kurogane has entered the Restaurant and things are picking up pace.

Everyone got their devices. We will see the effects of the Devices for the rest in the next chapter.

Kisuke is the mad scientist we all love while Cid got to indulge in his fantasies again.

As for what the people of Ikki's world will think about the nuke nearby….I will write that in the next chapter.

Enjoy the new chapter.

Good Day, Peace Out.
