Chapter 8: Lunch Time!

KND Newbase

"Chef Yuzu's Newbase Dining is once again open for business!" Yuzu Kurosaki beamed, wearing a chef's hat and holding a spatula and spoon. "There's nothing I can't cook and no appetite too big!"

Yuzu started to work part-time in KND Newbase after the Apocalypse. On those days, customers flew in and only ordered food from her. Sally Harper, Bon Clay Jr., Wendy Marvell, and Kirie Beatles along with other operatives worked with her and followed her recipes. "For Suki Crystal, a bowl of Everest Ice Cream, styled with snow from Mt. Everest and blueberries inside!" Yuzu placed a bowl of ice cream that looked like a mountain on Suki's table. "Eat it while it's frosty!"

"Yummyyyy!" Suki grabbed a spoon and started eating. There was a tingly chill on her teeth and a brainfreeze coursing through her body.

"For April and Mary Goldenweek, Hue Pudding, with six different colors carefully divided!" Yuzu placed a bowl of colorful pudding before her customers. "Mix it however you like!"

"It tastes like real paint!" Mary beamed. "Except it's not! Because real paint would be poisonous! April, how can you taste something, yet not taste it?"

"Artist intuition, of course."

"And of course we haven't forgotten our new giant friends!" A group of cooks worked together to bring a giant taco and bowl of orange carrot soup for the giant children. "Sind, you ordered a quintuple large Spicy Taco with salted churros at the bottom, and Doran, Giga Carrot Soup with giant Floran carrots."

Sind took the first bite of the taco. "WOW! This is even better than Dos Bros Tacos! (And not just 'cause they only make tiny ones.)"

"Doran, it's no wonder you're so orange with all those carrots!" Ally joked.

"It's not my fault Mom got me to like them."

"Hey, who wants a bite of my Halcandran Magma Burger?!" Ruby shouted, raising a burger with a burnt bun and lava for ketchup. Some of it dripped and burned the table. "Come on, it's not as hot as it looks."

"Be warned: it will melt the mouth of any normal human or non-Solaran creature." Sapphire said.

"I'll try it." Chris came over and took a bite of the burger. Everyone gaped and watched with anticipation. "MMMMMFFF!" Chris's mouth was on fire and his face was red.

"Heh heh heh! Oh, my!" Malladus said in Chris's head. "Even I tasted that! Groudon really likes it hot!"

With terrific willpower and a very firm throat, Chris swallowed the piece. "Pleah... delicious!"

"As I said." Sapphire confirmed.

"No one's more inhuman than Chris's family." Artie remarked, eating a Choco Chilidog with cream for ketchup.

"Thank you for sharing this Couple's Cake with me, Maseyfairy!" Carol Masterson said happily as she and Mason ate a white cake with hearts around it. "And paying for it decreased more of your $975 debt."

"Please stop increasing it..." Mason wept.

"If you become my full-time servant, I can happily do so."

"Not up for shrinking down throughout the summer."

"I ordered a Couple's Cake too, Mabel." Gideon Gleeful sat next to his beloved. "But specially decorated for us." The cake had light-blue icing, Gideon faces around the top, and shooting stars around the sides. "It's got mah face on it."
