Standing outside Belles and Begonia, Zero could already smell the heavenly pancakes. However, he couldn't see them with all the customers crowding outside the small shop. While he knew that the shop was popular among demons, Zero never expected the success to be so overwhelming. The clattering of dishes inside made Zero curious. Why would anyone make such a ruckus while eating? Freya said that it was bad manners and Zero didn't have a very good opinion about someone who didn't eat with good manners.
"What's wrong?" Mii asked Coux who was frowning.
"There seems to be a little trouble at hand. Allow me to take care of it. Could you lead Zero in from the back entrance?"
The strawcherry fairy nodded and ushered Zero away from the crowd. Although Zero had grown in height, he was still not tall enough to peer over the heads of most people crowding the shop's entrance.
Reluctantly, he followed Mii out of the rowdy crowd while Coux pushed through the mass of bodies.
