The World Traveler

Chapter 018.5

——??? POV——

"Hmm... I wonder, are there anything new in this town," sabi ko habang naglalakad, looking around the town for something new.

I got hungry as I walk around, checking every stall in the market for something new, so I decided to look for a something new to eat, but I can't seem to find one, I already had eaten to various famous restaurants after all, I even became a VIP in there.

As I walk around the town, I chanced upon an alley, its a very normal alley, but for some reason, something is calling me in there, but the alley gives off a very scary pressure.

Swallowing my saliva, and trusting my grade 10 profound master rank, I walked into the alley.

The alley is full of people, it feels like a slum, but the whole place is clean, and even though everything seems peaceful, the grandpa and grandma on the street were giving me a scary feeling.

'I am genius, no need to panic, I am already grade 10 profound master at the age of 10, no need to panic,' sabi ko sa isipan, as I let my feet drag me to where that something is.

"Eh," sambit ko nang biglang mawala ang pressure at takot na nararamdaman ko, looking around, I saw that there is a sign on my right that says {S&X Restaurant}.

I can't read the other word, but I can read the restaurant, the other word must be its name, but I wonder from what language it is.

And because its a restaurant, I entered and saw two people, a man and a woman, they must be a couple.

"Uhm... is this a restaurant?" tanong ko.

"Yes," sagot ng lalaki "but if you want to eat, please read the rules and sit down, we will serve your lunch," sabi ko.

"Oh... okay," sabi ko at agad na binasa ang nakapaskil malapit sa pintuan.

Ang nilalaman ng nakapaskil ay:

THE STORE WILL ONLY OPEN FOR TWO TIMES PER DAY, AT NOON FROM 11AM TO 1PM FOR LUNCH AND AT NIGHT FROM 7PM TO 9PM FPR DINNER.

ANY FORM OF QUARREL IS NOT ALLOWED INSIDE THE RESTAURANT, VIOLATORS WILL DIE.

CUSTOMERS CAN ONLY ORDER ONE MEAL ONCE EVERY OPEN HOURS.

THE PRICE DEPENDS ON THE MEAL BEING SERVED.

ONLY TWENTY CUSTOMERS WILL BE ENTERTAINED FOR EVERY OPEN HOURS.

CUSTOMERS WHO DON'T FINISH THEIR FOOD WILL BE BLACKLISTED. FOOD WASTAGE IS NOT TOLERATED IN THIS RESTAURANT.

WHAT TO EAT IS NOT A QUESTION IN THIS RESTAURANT. TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT IS THE ONLY QUESTION.

DO NOT STEAL ITEMS OWNED BY THE RESTAURANT, YOU WILL DIE THE MOMENT YOU STEP FOOT OUTSIDE WITH SOMETHING THAT THE RESTAURANT OWNS.

THERE ARE NO TAKEOUTS NOR DELIVERY.

ALL RIGHTS OF INTERPRETATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RULES ABOVE WERE OWNED BY THE RESTAURANT OWNERS. ITS THEIR RULES, NOT YOURS.

'Huh?' sambit ko sa isipan nang mabasa ang nilalaman ng naka-paskil 'I can understand the other rules, but the price depends on the meal? Also the question is only to eat or not to eat? Well considering the man said they will serve me my lunch means, there is no options, its really either eat or not.'

"Uhm... ano po itong price depends clause?" tanong ko as I sit down on the chair in the courtyard.

"As it means, the price of the lunch and dinner depends on how much do you think it is," sagot ng lalaki.
