After carefully putting away the card, Kanna looked up at Izumi with unusual seriousness.
"Thank you very much, Izumi-sama."
She paused, then added in her calm, innocent tone—
"When I go back, I'll find Tohru-sama and bring her here too."
Izumi couldn't help but chuckle.
"That's fine. No need to rush."
He waved his hand casually.
"Now that you've entered my world, I've already read the coordinates of your original world."
"So when you go back, finding Tohru should be easy."
To Izumi, it was obvious—Kanna had simply wandered here by accident.
But thanks to that accident, her world was now connected.
If she hadn't stumbled into his domain, returning home would have been far more troublesome.
Kanna nodded obediently, then shifted her gaze to her surroundings.
Everything here fascinated her.
...
Before long, Izumi brought her to a familiar place—
The restaurant run by Nakiri Erina
As her "creditor," Izumi didn't need to pay here.
The moment he stepped inside, Erina noticed immediately and rushed out from the kitchen to greet him personally.
The restaurant was bustling.
Various familiar faces filled the seats—proof that the Dimensional City was growing livelier by the day.
Even Esdeath was present today.
Izumi and Kanna took a seat.
Erina stood before them, visibly tense.
"W-What would you like today, Izumi-sama?"
Her eyes flicked toward Kanna.
Too cute…
Izumi smiled faintly.
"Everything."
"…Eh?"
He added casually—
"This girl here is a dragon."
Erina froze.
Her pen slipped from her hand and clattered to the floor.
"D-Dr… dragon…?!"
She stared at Kanna in disbelief.
"This adorable girl…?!"
Izumi nodded.
"Yep. A real dragon."
"So bring one of everything."
Erina's face instantly turned pale.
This is bad.
This is REALLY bad.
Feeding a dragon—and Izumi wouldn't even pay.
Today is going to be a loss… a massive loss…
Tears nearly welled up in her eyes.
Izumi tilted his head innocently.
"Is there a problem?"
Erina forced a stiff smile.
"N-No problem at all…"
What else could she say?
Defeating sigh.
She turned and dragged herself back into the kitchen like a defeated warrior heading to the battlefield.
The staff quickly began serving appetizers.
Kanna didn't hesitate.
She picked up a dish—
And swallowed it whole.
Plate included.
Then—
clink.
She spat the plate back out.
The server, Sakaki Ryoko, stood there in stunned silence.
"I-In one bite?!"
Her brain simply refused to process what she'd just seen.
Izumi twitched slightly.
"If you don't hurry with the food, she might start eating the plates too."
"Go tell Erina to speed things up."
"She's starving."
Ryoko's face turned pale.
"I-I'm on it!"
She dashed back into the kitchen like her life depended on it.
Inside the kitchen, chaos erupted.
"Faster!"
"Start with simple dishes!"
"Send everything out!"
Erina and her team pushed themselves to the limit.
Soon—
A plate of glowing golden fried rice was served.
Kanna—
gulp.
Gone.
Next dish.
Gone.
Next.
Gone.
Her eating speed left everyone speechless.
Yet strangely—
No one looked away.
Because she was just too cute.
Watching her eat had become its own kind of entertainment.
At that moment, the door slid open.
Floating gracefully inside was—
Yuyuko Saigyouji
Her eyes lit up the instant she saw Izumi.
"Izumi-kun~!"
She drifted over and hugged him from behind, pressing herself against him with a cheerful smile.
"Long time no see~"
Then she turned her attention to Kanna.
"And who might this be?"
Kanna glanced at her briefly—
Then returned to eating.
Food > everything.
Izumi smiled.
"This is Kanna. She's a dragon."
"She got lost and wandered into my world."
Yuyuko blinked in surprise.
"Oh my… how rare."
A moment later, Youmu Konpaku hurried over.
"Yuyuko-sama!"
"Please get down, that's rude!"
Yuyuko froze.
"…Ah."
Her cheeks turned slightly red.
"Sorry~"
She floated away and sat properly.
Just then, Ryoko returned with more dishes.
Yuyuko smiled sweetly.
"Ryoko~"
"Could you bring me… one of everything too?"
"…What?"
Ryoko nearly dropped the tray.
Another one?!
A full course of everything?!
This was beyond cruel.
Still—
She forced herself to write it down.
"…Will you be dining here?"
"Yes~ right here."
Yuyuko glanced at Izumi with sparkling eyes.
"Izumi-kun is here, after all."
Then, in a softer tone—
"You'll treat me, right?"
Today, Yukari Yakumo wasn't around.
Originally, Yuyuko had planned to eat modestly.
But now?
Opportunity had arrived.
Izumi nodded casually.
"Sure. My treat."
After all—
He didn't have to pay.
Ryoko's smile twitched violently.
"Izumi…"
"You're… paying today, right?"
Her voice trembled.
Because right now—
At one table sat:
A dragon with an endless stomach A ghost princess known as a bottomless pit
This wasn't a meal.
This was—
financial annihilation.
