Novel & Cerita Akano The Diner

It's a great gala, every year the same thing happens, except the year before, Jina sent a statement canceling the celebration due to Kai's passing," he murmured as the y walked back and forth with the cup in hand, waving to the people who came to greet them . " By the way, I just saw your mother and brother! " They were not going to miss the gala party, you know that the family always attends these celebrations," he observed his mother walking towards him, "And speaking of the king of Rome.... " Ankit, how nice to see you," she greeted him with a smile. Yukio, you look so handsom e my son," he smiled at him as he greeted the other attendants, "I've always said it, you are a very handsome man

I looked at them and my eyes almost sprang out of my eye sockets. They were all half-naked, wearing only sweatpants and some were wearing sleepwear that barely covers them up. "Jumpscare," I whispered to myself. Zacharias, Toshiro, Lorenzo, Leo, Dominic, and... Kanji are all in the dining area. "Where the hell is the jam?" Kanji shouted at Leo as he only shrugged lazily and rocked his chair back and forth. "Oh, hey, Alluring Allura." Kanji greeted me, and I just scrunched my nose at the name.

Aki (blue horns, quiet, wears librarian glasses even though he’s 7'4" and can bench-press a tank) is the accountant, DJ, and the one who actually keeps the place from exploding. Tonight (or whatever passes for tonight between dimensions), the bar is packed. Riku slams a sake cup the size of a helmet in front of a weeping storm giant. Riku: “Drink. Your ex-wife took the clouds in the divorce. We’ve all been there.” Aki is in the corner, quietly teaching a baby kraken how to pour drinks without inking the sake. The front door (which is literally a torii gate that screams when you step through) suddenly slams open.

Kane's eyes flicked to the chef, who gave a small nod. "She is doing well." Kane huffed softly. "We'll see about that." Mona rolled her eyes. "Wow. No faith." "None," he replied easily. But there was something softer in his expression now. ⸻ Dinner was set not long after. Mona sat across from Kane, her eyes moving over the table. This wasn't just food. It was... presentation. Everything looked too perfect to eat. "This is insane," she said under her breath.

Now a restaurant? What exactly was Anika doing?

Cain tenses every time his father says anything to him or me, then they glare at each other like they're having some sort of staring contest or silent argument. Halfway through dinner, Cain's father excuses himself and comes back with a couple who exude authority but seem very friendly with it. After greeting Cain warmly and introducing themselves to the rest of us as Zac and Cally, Cain's aunt and uncle, their eyes land on me. "So you're the one they're after and you killed a rog… wolf with a chair leg. Genius." Cally laughs loudly, sitting down opposite me and bringing much needed life into the room. Her blue eyes twinkle with intelligence and even though it feels like she's assessing me,

“Just us.” Breakfast waited in the same serene dining room as before. Low table, floor cushions, the gentle clink of porcelain against lacquer. Sakura wore pale lavender today, her hair pinned with a single jade comb shaped like a crane. Haruto sat at the head in quiet charcoal, already reviewing something on a slim tablet while sipping matcha. Dante,black cashmere sweater, dark jeans, sleeves pushed to his elbows, settled beside me, one hand resting casually on my thigh beneath the table the moment we knelt.

Jojo, Spencer, Harper, Imani and Jerry, walking into the diner all cooked in their discussions that they barely noticed I was in there. “Shall we?” Caine sounded more excited than I was. For a second, I doubted him. I stared at him, trying to understand why he was helping me get revenge on his friends. But I guess that was a question for the nearest future to come. “Yeah…sure,” were the only words that came out under my breath. I attended to the table bell ring, and of course, their usual drama spun into play. “Ohh…medium rare for the diner,” Spencer started with a chuckle.

"Kenzo, the handsome baby," praised Ariana again. The woman smiled, whispering her thanks. "I'm Ariana," she introduced herself. "Are you the owner of this restaurant?" Gina asked again, curious. Ariana nodded. "I thought the owner would be a woman in her forties or older. But it turns out you're still very young," she said, impressed. Ariana just smiled in response. Another knock sounded, and Ariana asked the person outside to come in. A tall, handsome man with dark brown hair and thick eyebrows looked inside with confusion.
