Mio didn't look up towards them as she just merely dropped her phone before patting Somi's head to get her attention as she was watching some things with the tablet that she gave her. When Mio heard her, she silently placed down her tablet, and when she finally saw the food that was in the hands of the waiter, her eyes sparkled with joy as the food looked so good.
"Here is your food, Beef Stroganoff for the little Lady, and Wagyu Fillet for the Madam. As well as two fries." The waiter smiled as she carefully took the food from the tray before placing it gently in front of them. When it was finally in front of Somi, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva as she could now smell it, it smelled delicious.
But when she was about to grab her utensils, she stopped for a second to look at them. All of the utensils in front of her were something not familiar to her because as she was growing up she was already taught some basic etiquette by her Mommy. But when she eats back at home she has her own set because she can't use the same utensils as the adult as they were simply too big for her, and it was the same with this one.
"Ummm… do- do you have smaller utensils than this? I'm afraid that it is too big for me…" Because she doesn't want to trouble Mio anymore, she simply looks at the waiter beside her and asks her for the things that she wants. But she was embarrassed to say about it so she said it in a whisper, but Mio still heard it.
"Do you want me to feed you, little Somi?" Mio simply asked as she stopped eating to look at Somi who looked so troubled.
"Mmm! No, it's not that I don't know how to use them, it's too big for me. See?" Mio shook her head with a red face as she then grabbed the knife and fork in front of her and showed it to Mio, and just as she said the utensils were simply too big for her. Now that Somi had pointed it out, Mio just noticed that Somi looked somehow smaller than her peers.
She didn't look like she was a 7-year-old little girl, it looked as if she was a 5-year-old. But if you look at her she doesn't look malnourished, she looks so healthy, but with that, there should be no reason that she should be this small. When Somi felt Mio staring at her intently she got even more embarrassed because it was clear to her that she was not seeing how small she actually was.
Somi was embarrassed to point it out, but she was also not ashamed of it. She got her height from Kurokami, she didn't get the genes of Yuki who was incredibly tall. Meanwhile, Kurokami on the other hand was small, but not that small, Yuki was simply just too tall for everyone.
"I think we have a kids set of utensils in the storage room. I remember making some of those, so take a look at the storage for me." Mio smiled after seeing the embarrassment of Somi and couldn't help but pinch her cheeks.
"Right away!" The two waiters who were standing immediately bowed their heads and got out of the room to grab the utensils that they were tasked with.
"Guys! Do we have a kid's set of utensils? Madam said that we have some in the storage room, the little lady is asking for them since our normal utensils are too big for her hands." The waitress said with a panicky voice as they knew that the longer they took, the colder the food would get and nothing was worse than eating cold food that was meant to be hot.
"Yes! Quickly grab them, they are just on the shelf!" The Manager who was coincidentally inside quickly said as he also rushed inside the storage room to find them, and when they finally did all of them scrambled to clean and wipe them.
When they were finally done the two rushed back inside but before they entered, they fixed their appearance before opening the door to go inside. Luckily they only took about a minute to finish and the meal was still hot.
"Here are your new utensils, little lady. We are sorry for the inconvenience." The two bowed their head as they grabbed the utensils that were on the table before placing the new ones. Just like that, the two could finally have their meal in peace.
After about 15 minutes they were finally done and Somi was now just snacking on her leftover fries, Mio then stood up before whispering something to Somi. She then motioned to the two waitress to follow her and when the two saw it, they felt their stomach drop as they felt that they were going to get in trouble.
When they exit the room, the people around the restaurant cannot help but follow them with their eyes, they feel that something is wrong especially since the two waitresses behind Mio have their heads lowered. So all of them thought that they were in some kind of trouble. When a man saw that, he couldn't help but feel frustrated, he was also one of those people who believed that the woman who got inside the VIP room was simply someone who knew the owner, and with this sense of 'justice' he walked up to her and stopped her from her tracks.
"Hello, my name is Adam. I can't help but think that you are being unfair, even though you know the owner of this restaurant personally, I don't think you have the right to scold them. Even if they did something wrong to offend you, I don't that justifies that you can scold them because of it." Satoru said but before Mio could even say something he continued.
"I'm from the Suratin Family and even if you are a friend of the owner, I can punish you for bullying the innocent worker of this establishment," Satoru said and when he said where he came from, he couldn't help but help but stick out his chest in pride.
"Are you done talking, little man? Because if you are done, you can get out of my way." Mio coldly answered as she brushed off the man and continued her way inside the Staff room when Adam finally regained his composure, his whole face went red as if he was slapped by her.
"Ladies, if you are afraid that you will lose your job. Don't be afraid to tell me, I will bring justice to you two." Adam turned towards the two waitresses who now had an absolutely terrified look on their faces, but he simply misunderstood it.
"Are you fucking stupid, or are you just retarded?" When Mio couldn't finally contain her irritation, she turned around and simply asked a question that made everyone's jaw drop.
