Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

Chapter 82



—–

After our clothes shopping, we decided to take a break and go to a cafeteria I saw while walking through the town yesterday. This cafeteria had a big window upfront that showed all kinds of pastries, cakes, and types of bread, just to make everyone who passed by drool. I couldn’t miss this place! I’ll take the challenge of eating every single cake and pastry they’re selling!

“Oh, this place does look quite pretty,” Commented Emeraldine.

“Ohh… Sweets…” Muttered Partner.

“Should we really waste our time here?” Sighed Lucifer.

“Come on grumpy dragon, enjoy life a bit,” I said.

“…*Sigh* You know that we are not even alive, right? …But fine, I want a meat sandwich anyway. I don’t really like sweets,” He gave in.

“Hehe, good choice!”

We rushed inside the cafeteria, which was mostly empty at this hour of the day, but I bet it was filled in the morning.

“Welcome to Cafeteria Hearty!”

A cute young girl with pink-colored hair tied into pigtails greeted us as we glanced at the interior of the place. They seem to bake the bread and make the cakes all in here. I could clearly smell the scent of baked bread behind the doors right at the counter!

“Would you like to buy something to take out? If not, I invite you to sit down and relax. I’ll bring you the menu,” Said the girl.

“Oh yeah, thanks a lot, dear,” I said as we went and sat down around a large table with enough space for all of us.

The girl quickly rushed back with cups of fresh water, which had a slice of lemon and even some ice cubes.

This means that this world is advanced enough to have artifacts that can produce ice! I see magic can really replace technology by quite a large margin… It would be dumb to think that they had not invented ways to use it to ease their daily lives in all these years.

“Here’s the menu. Whenever you have decided what you want, just call me,” Said the girl rather carefreely, as she gave each one of us a menu to look at.

I began to read it and found that everything was beautiful and delicious. There were several illustrations of every single thing. They had ice creams of only natural cream flavor, but they added fruits and cookies into them as well, making all sorts of Sunday-like ice cream preparations.

There were also all sorts of delicious cakes, sweet spongy cakes with white cream and various varieties with fruit slices on top or in between the layers of the cake.

Disappointingly though, there wasn’t chocolate cake…

Does chocolate cake not exist in this world!?

“Is there anything with chocolate?” I asked.

“C-Chocolate? I have never heard of such a thing…” She said.

“Agh…”

What kind of infernal world is this?! No chocolate?! You’re kidding me?!

Damn…

Well, the rest of the stuff all looks yummy, so I’ll take most of it! Almost everyone had made their decision, but Partner still seemed a bit confused, so I decided to just share with her all the stuff I was going to buy. The kids were also confused as they saw the prices of the things and felt a bit intimidated.

“E-Everything is so pricy….” Muttered Laura.

“Can we really afford it? We have already asked for so many things from Nee-sama…” Sighed Takeshi.

“Don’t feel indebted to me. Ask anything you want! I just want you two to have a nice day for once,” I said.

“Ahh…”

The two looked at me with emotional expressions on their faces before their eyes suddenly shone with glee. In the end, the two asked for two Sundays, two sandwiches, warm milk, and Wild Berry Cake Slices.

“I want Grilled Meat Seasoned with herbs and a Cheesecake. Oh, and the most bitter coffee you can find,” Said Lucifer.

“Very well!”

The girl took all our orders and quickly ran away.

“I wonder if there’s no chocolate in this world… then where did the coffee come from?” I wondered.

“Coffee? It is a special seed once brought by a Hero of ancient times, perhaps ten thousand years ago… the last war against the Demon King must have happened almost a thousand years ago, so…” Lucifer muttered.

“Wow, that’s an ancient one… So I guess a person from another world recreated the coffee seed… somehow? And they didn’t recreate chocolate? What was he, an idiot?!” I shouted.

“I’ve actually heard of chocolate seeds before. But it was said that the candy produced from them was so precious and delicious that the five Kingdoms once waged war for it, and the seeds were lost in history,” Lucifer explained.

“W-What…?!”

To think that chocolate would cause wars in this world! Well, I would also wage war if I could get my hands onto a silky and smooth chocolate bar…

Only after half an hour of waiting, the girl quickly began to bring all sorts of stuff towards the table. The cake slices were brought first as it was already done, then the sandwiches, and lastly, all the ice cream.

And we began to dig in!

Lucifer bit the massive sandwich he ordered; his eyes clearly showed some surprise.

“This sauce… It’s so citric, yet it is also creamy and sweet… it goes so well with the grilled and flavorful, juicy meat slices… The tomatoes, lettuce, and cheese it has also gone excellently together! W-What is this?!” He asked.

“Haha, first time eating a sandwich?”

“I-I have definitely eaten one before! But this is… way beyond what I had tasted back then….” He muttered.

He then proceeded to devour the whole sandwich on a whim and asked for seconds and then thirds. After that, he tasted the delicious cheesecake and was left just as speechless.

“So spongy and cheesy, this sweetness is also not too overwhelming, yet… yet it is so good! Ungh! It goes so well with this bitter coffee as well!” He cried out.

“Haha, he’s very excited,” Laughed Emeraldine.

Meanwhile, Partner was eating everything rather wildly, stuffing her cheeks with tons of food.

“Nom… Delicious!” She shouted after drinking tons of coffee to wash it all down.

The kids then began to eat the ice cream first. It was deliciously creamy and so cold… and the fresh fruit on the side went so well with the cookies added into the Sundays.

“So many flavors….” I moaned in pleasure.
