The Reaper In White Shirt

Chapter 3

Pagdating nila sa sinasabing pub ay napatanga si Andre at si Blaise. Wala namang emotion na makikita sa mukha ni Regis at ng dalawang guard.

Blaise could not help but point at the shabby-looking pub, and asked in confusion. "Ito ba iyong sinasabi mong pub na may masarap na pagkain?"

Excited na tumango si Chester, "Ito nga," sagot nito na nagugutom na rin. He waited for Blaise to let him lead the way para makapasok na sila.

No one had the guts to enter the door until someone came out of the pub. It was a lady wearing an apron.

Isasarado na sana ni Lachita ang pub nang maramdaman niyang may mga matang nakatingin sa kanya. Tumingin siya sa unahan at nakita ang anim na lalaki. Limang gwapong estranghero at isang cute na lalaking kilala niya.

"Chester, what are you doing here and who are they?" Lachita asked. Lumapit kay Lachita si Chester at ipinaliwanag ang buong nagyari.

After hearing what Chester said, Lachita sighed. "Chester, magsasara na kami. Lagpas alas dose na oh."

Chester pouted. He held Lachita's hand and fluttered his eyelashes. "Ate, sige na naman oh. Kanina pa ako nagugutom eh. Isa pa, kawawa naman yung mga dayo na kasama ko.  Nagugutom din sila, ate. Sa haba daw kasi ng nilakbay nila para gawin ang kanilang misyon tapos palpak pa, sinong hindi magugutom?"

Lachita glanced at those men not far away from them. 'Naniwala ka naman? Anong kawawa? Sa aura pa lang at estilo ng kanilang pananamit ay paniguradong tayo ang kawawa sa mga mata nila.' Isip niya.

Bumuntong hininga si Lachita. "Oh, hala sige. Pumasok na kayo at magluluto ako." Nauna na siyang pumasok sa loob ng pub.

Chester smiled widely when he heard Lachita agree. "Yey!" He turned his head and gestured his hands. "Halina kayo! Pumayag na si ate."

Seeing the excited face of Chester, Blaise couldn't dare to reject the little guy's offer. "Let's go?"

"Are you fine with it, young master?" Andre asked Regis.

Regis still did not show any emotion on his face. "As long as the food they serve is clean, it's fine."

Andre sighed. "Fine. Let's go inside."

They did not expect anything when they entered the pub, but upon entering, they were surprised by how completely different the inside was from their imagination. The pub may be shabby looking if you view it from the outside, but once you are inside, you feel like you enter a whole new setting.

It may sound exaggerated, but it is the truth. The interior inside is a mixture of modern and medieval times, even the pieces of furniture.

Andre's jaw dropped as his face stings because he was slapped by reality. 

Blaise smiled widely. "Cool. This place is epic. You got us a good place, Chester." He complimented the little guy.

Chester laughed. "Of course."

Andre cleared his throat. "It's cool, but is the food here safe?"

The entire place went silent because of what Andre had said. Then suddenly, they heard a sarcastic female voice.

"Are you an idiot?"

They looked over where the voice came from and they found her behind the counter, wiping the registrar's machine, looking at them with obvious disgust in her face.

"W-what did you just say?" Andre stuttered seeing the young lady, who caught him speaking ill of the restaurant's food.

Cheuse couldn't help but sneer when she noticed the uniform that the three men were wearing. She scanned them one by one, from the two men who were wearing ordinary military soldier uniforms to the three overly handsome men.
