In the bustling city of Tokyo, people of all ages and races were craving lunch. And Babel was just the right place to do so.
Affordable food, extremely delicious meals, no need for reservations, and it can accommodate tons of people. As every floor is a different restaurant that can hold hundreds of people.
And if one restaurant was packed, as there will be favorites. Other floors will take on the extra people. The students of Totsuki were going to serve on the lunch rush for thousands of people that are going to Babel.
They were given the recipes and it is their job to be another person in the chaotic kitchen. Not just an intern, but a full blown member of the team.
"Tadokoro-san, you might want to hang on. Or you will be kissing your next year at school goodbye." Erina was sweating as she looked at the chefs inside of their kitchen.
They were prepping tons of ingredients and started pre-cooking. And the amount of it in her estimations would easily serve a thousand people.
"N-Nakiri-san, please tell my parents I love them." Megumi was shaking in her shoes and was feeling faint.
"Ahhh! Tadokoro-san! Get a hold of yourself! We'll be eliminated from here if we don't work together!" Erina knew the purpose of the stagiaire. And it was to leave a change in a restaurant.
"But how exactly are we going to change Ramiel's restaurant for the better!? Everything is already perfect!" Erina was gonna pull her hair out, stressing about the test. Nobody was safe after all, if she was incompetent. Then she'll be booted out.
"I... I'll just wash the dishes." Megumi immediately went to the washing area and made it her territory, doing her darndest to make herself look small.
Erina began chopping vegetables like her life depended on it. Trying to keep up with the disguised clone of Ramiel in prepping like a damned machine.
"C-can you please teach me how to do that?" She gritted her teeth in shame, seeing the high level prep that consisted of vegetables being cut hundreds of times, melted sugar being made into domes. Intricate desserts looked like nature.
"Hmm, aren't you a student of Totsuki? Shouldn't you be able to do this on your own? Well, okay then. But if you make a mistake, you're out of the kitchen." Ramiel messed with her.
"Yes! Thank you very much!" Erina bowed and Megumi was wiping down clean plates like a dork.
Soma and Hisako were together and she wasn't thrilled to be with the transfer student. Even though Ramiel and the others were too.
"This is bad Arato, really bad. I have no idea what's going on." Soma looked around the kitchen he was getting anxious.
"I know, you think I have a damned idea on what they're doing here? It's so complicated, I feel like I'm gonna puke." Hisako was getting a headache from looking at the prep.
They were in the french restaurant and it had the most complicated preparations in Babel. With french food having time consuming and numerous technique to prepare food.
"What are you waiting for? Lunch rush is starting you know? Start prepping the duck breasts and lamb chops." Ramiel smirked as he gave them some unprocessed ducks and lamb chops.
"Y-yes! But... How do I do this?" Soma didn't know how to butcher for a lamb chop. "You, teach him." Ramiel pointed at Hisako and she glared at Soma.
"This is why transfer students are annoying!" Hisako was angry and Soma looked apologetic for a change. "Because of that, I'm adding blue marlin to our entrees today." Ramiel busted out a flatfish.
"B-blue marlin!? Soma, this is all your fault! You know how difficult that thing is to prepare!?" Hisako was losing her mind.
"I don't know! And we just have to power through!" They argued fiercely.
Alice and Hayama are in the Indian restaurant and Hayama was out of his depths. "Oi! Hayama, are you really going to let a lady do this!?" She was assigned at the tandoor oven and she needed to pump out thousands of naan bread.
"You were assigned at that role, don't look at me! And I need to learn as many spice mixes as possible!" His head was spinning from the spice mixes.
They were cooking in batches and the spices used were all eyeballed. He was trying to steal some mixes and ratios, but it is too difficult.
"Hey, less talking. More cooking, start putting the bread and chicken in the oven!" Samus showed them how it was done and she literally dived in the oven.
"H-how am I gonna pass this?" Alice was in a crisis. "You, put the chicken in the tandoor. Stop being lazy or you'll be evicted from the kitchen!" Samus shouted at Hayama who was writing in his notepad.
Ikumi got paired with Yuki and they were serving ramen today in Lulu's japanese. And their side dishes were tempura.
It looks easy in amateur settings. But at the highest level, it needed tons of skill. Maintaining the integrity of the ingredient being fried, temperature of oil, keeping it clean, etc.
And they had to make ramen that needed a really specific way of layering the ingredients so it would look nice.
"Ikumi! Do you know how long I should cook these noodles for! It says super firm, do I need to even boil this in water!?" Yuki was panicking, with dozens of orders backing up.
"I don't know! You're the one assigned there! I'm preparing the tempura and toppings! Shut up!" Ikumi prepped the toppings and side dishes, under immense pressure to keep up with the orders.
Totsuki's officials were watching the scenes and tons of students already got failing grades. The pressure was too much and they couldn't adapt to the situation at all. It was a nightmare, even top students barely passed and it was just lunch time.
"Senzaimon, is this fine? Hundreds of your students will fail you know?" Ramiel looked at Senzaimon who was watching the cameras.
"This is Totsuki, they should be the very best. If they cannot handle some basic jobs at your restaurant. Then they are doomed to fail their own when the time comes." Senzaimon squinted his eyes.
"Well, that's true. And it's pretty funny, look at Alice and Erina, they're like headless chickens running around." Ramiel chuckled.
Alice even had to get Hayama to hold her legs so she won't fall down the oven while sticking the bread on its walls.
"Ramiel-dono, I have a request to make." Senzaimon gathered his courage and asked for a favor.
"Hmm? Sure, if it isn't that difficult. Alexandra's calling me for something. Maybe she's having some difficulties overseas." He was being asked questions on how to run a place.
"My daughter... She has lost all her passion and interest in food. Do you think you can light that fire inside of her once more? Because of her god tongue, even the smell of food disgusts her. And all she does nowadays is get her nutrients through a needle." Senzaimon sighed, worrying for his daughter.
"Total parenteral nutrition? How long has she been doing it?" Ramiel raised a brow. He was a doctor, and that particular method can't be done long. A couple of months at most. Or it will destroy your kidneys.
"Some years now. That woman, she doesn't even talk to Erina. She abandoned her daughter in pursuit of the best food possible. I should beat some sense into her." Senzaimon clicked his tongue.
"Heh? So your daughter is a maniac huh? Well, Erina's a friend of mine. So I can set her mother straight." Ramiel squinted his eyes. He didn't like what she was doing one bit.
Because he was technically a parent as well. And her reason to abandon Erina seemed to be invalid.
"Really? You would accept this old man's selfish request?" Senzaimon perked up. "Yeah, it sounds easy enough. Let's go together, Senzaimon. I'd like to meet this woman." He smirked.
Ramiel left the restaurant to Lulu and he travelled to the estate where Nakiri Mana was in solitude. Leaving the Nakiris to live alone.
"Hmm, so this is where she is?" Ramiel looked at the pretty lavish japanese building. "Yes, she's been living here for years now. Refusing to come back to the Nakiri home." Senzaimon sighed.
She's been away for at least a decade now. Leaving Erina in her father's hands. And due to his strictness as well as Mana's sudden disappearance in their life. Erina suffered in the hands of her family. Trained since a child to be a perfect chef.
"Your family's messed up Senzaimon. Well, mine's worse. So that's not really surprising for me. But Erina's a friend of mine. And you may not sense it, but Alice really likes her." Ramiel shook his head and entered the estate with Senzaimon.
They arrived at a sliding door and Senzaimon gestured that she was there. Ramiel kicked the door open and took off his shades. "Yo, you Nakiri Mana?"
The woman and her attendant was shocked and just stared at him. (pic)
"W-who are you!? You dare invade this place like this!?" Mana shouted at him, but Senzaimon stepped in and stared at her.
"This is Ramiel-dono, Mana. You have been away from the clan and been ignoring your duties for far too long." Senzaimon furrowed his brows at her.
"Yeah, what he said." Ramiel chimed in and Mana was stumped. "Hmph, I'm not going back there." She was stubborn though and refused to even listen to them.
"What about Erina? Do you even know what she's been up to?" Ramiel raised a brow and Mana squinted her eyes.
"I am on a mission... Erina, she does not matter. As long as I take care of this accursed tongue." Mana disregarded her daughter and wanted to get rid of her god tongue that ruined food for her.
"Mana! Do you hear yourself!?" Senzaimon was about to get really angry. But Ramiel patted him on the back. "Let me handle this old man. Hey, you. Lady with the weird eyebrows. You gonna come back or not?"
"Who are you anyways? If my father can't make me. Then how can you?" She scoffed at him and Ramiel squinted his eyes.
"So be it." Ramiel rummaged through his coat and Senzaimon thought he was taking out something special. "I won't give you this cookie if you don't."
The father and daughter duo were speechless and Ramiel had a smug look on his face. "Haaa!? You think I'll go back because of that!" Mana pointed at his cookie angrily.
Ramiel gasped and caressed the cookie. "Shhh, don't listen to her. She's fucking crazy, I mean... Look at those eyebrows, only crazy people would rock that."
Senzaimon's eyebrows twitched. "Ramiel-dono... If this is your plan..." He was sure that he was messing with them.
"Please, this one's special. Ain't that right?" Ramiel talked to his cookie and waved it around, making the aroma of it hit Mana's nose.
"T-that thing smells irresistible... That's impossible, all food makes me gag from just the smell." Mana was shocked and he smirked.
"Too bad, you do not appreciate the cookie. It will not grace you with its divine taste. Eat it, Senzaimon." He gave it to Senzaimon and he popped it in his mouth.
He froze for a solid minute and suddenly dropped dead on the ground. "Father! W-what did you do to him?" Mana was surprised and she checked Senzaimon's condition. He was dead for real.
"It was so good that his soul passed. What a way to go. Hey, Senzaimon. Wake up, old man." Ramiel revived him and he gasped.
"Such violent flavor. What a waste that I cannot eat your best cooking without enjoying it fully." Senzaimon was disappointed.
"D-do you have any more of those?" Mana's curiosity was killing her. But Ramiel shook his head and smirked. "I already told you, if you can't appreciate it. You don't deserve it."
"Mana... Return, Ramiel-dono has a restaurant in Tokyo. You must have heard of it, it's called Babel. You can finally eat again, they have cuisines from all over the world. You can eat food there that you haven't even heard of." Senzaimon tried convincing her.
"I... I can't, not until I find a way to get rid of this curse of ours." Mana frowned. "Are your middle names perhaps Mishima?" Ramiel questioned.
They shook their heads and he clicked his tongue. "Damn, I thought for sure it might be the devil gene or something. Senzaimon looks like a Mishima after all."
Ramiel sighed and he took out a toothbrush, he was going to use it to camouflage his magic. "Well, if that's the problem... Then I can just invalidate it you know?" Ramiel shrugged.
"What? You can get rid of the god tongue!? You don't jest do you?" Mana was shocked and Senzaimon couldn't believe it.
"Yeah, we have sensitive palates even more than you. So we sometimes use this to make it more normal." Ramiel took out some toothpaste, making it look like a mysterious compound.
"I'll fix it up real good, come here. Don't worry, it's peach flavored." Ramiel squirted some of it out on the toothbrush and he put his hand on her nape.
"Open wide." Ramiel started brushing her teeth and with his dexterity, she started fidgeting. Senzaimon watched with Mana's assistant and they thought it was weird as hell. It even got more awkward from there on.
"Hmm~" Mana moaned and Ramiel kept on brushing her teeth and tongue. "Hngh!"
"Ramiel-dono... What is it exactly that you are doing?" Senzaimon deadpanned at him. "This is natural, her delicate parts are being stimulated by tiny little hairs after all."
Ramiel continued and Mana had a light blush on her face. "Nyo more~" She bit the toothbrush from time to time.
"Don't resist Mana, it will feel better for you. Or you should? Yeah, keep at it." He brushed her tongue with the soft bristle toothbrush and she kept on fidgeting.
Mana put her hands on his chest and moaned louder when he began using his magic. Starting to take out the mutation on her tongue.
"This isn't what it looks like, don't stare at me like that." Ramiel looked at Senzaimon. "O-okay, I trust you."
After working his magic for a few minutes, Mana seized up and gave a pretty loud groan. Making Senzaimon feel like he has lost. Seeing his daughter like that.
"Okay, done and dusted." Ramiel asked for a glass of water so she could rinse her mouth. "F-father, that wasn't what it looks like." Mana was embarrassed as hell.
"Y-you... What did you do to me!?" Mana glared at Ramiel, blushing like a tomato. "I already told you, I treated your god tongue, woman. Do you want me to give it back to you?" Ramiel narrowed his eyes at her and she backed down.
"Good girl, now. I want you to taste this." He gave her a convenience store onigiri. She was apprehensive at first. But she pinched her nose so she won't smell it and bit into the rice ball.
"How is it, Mana?" Senzaimon was waiting intensely for her reaction. "T-this doesn't taste disgusting... I, I can eat normal things now!" Mana went wide eyed, gone was her complex palate that needs wonderful flavors to satisfy.
"I told you it would work. Want me to give it back to you for doubting me? Hmm?" Ramiel stared at them and they apologized immediately.
"I just thought you were doing something inappropriate. It looked... Extremely graphic you see? And you're currently with Leonora right?" Senzaimon thought he was hunting down their women or something.
"What!? He's with Leonora? But he's wearing Totsuki's uniform. He must be the same age as Erina and Alice!" Mana was shocked and Ramiel lifted up her chin.
"Well, not really. Besides, even if she's a little older than me. It doesn't matter, does it?" He grinned and Mana blushed, remembering the scene earlier.
"Ahem... Ramiel-dono, can't you at least spare Mana? You already have all of them in the palm of your hands." Senzaimon deadpanned at him.
"That's for us to decide, ain't that right Mana? Now how about I give you a little treat for being a good girl earlier?" He took out some coffee eclairs and enticed her with its luscious smell.
Mana couldn't resist and took a bite off of it. She immediately moaned loudly and Senzaimon sighed.
"S-such a complex flavor! I... I never knew that food can taste so magical! Ahn!" Mana seized up again. "Anne... Can you please get me some garments." She asked her assistant.
Senzaimon covered his ears, but it was too late. He was already scarred mentally for life. "Ramiel-dono... Thank you very much for this, the Nakiri clan will not forget its debts." He thanked him, but he didn't sound happy.
"Well, all in a day's work. Now how about we send you to Tokyo eh? Let you meet your daughter. But first, I have to punish you for doubting the cookie." Ramiel put Mana on his lap and he raised her kimono.
"What are you doing!? I'll have you kno- Ahhh!" Mana cried out in pain as Ramiel spanked her, not in the kinky way.
"You abandoned your family for what? For this bullshit?" He slapped her ass hard and Mana cried out again.
Senzaimon just left, already done with receiving more mental damage. "Stop that! Or I'll force your restaurant to shut down!" She threatened.
Ramiel laughed and he whacked her cheeks twice, one at each side. "Like you can do anything, I control the world woman! Now, repent!" He put a ball gag on her and started spanking her again and again, taping it so he could send it to Erina and Leonora later.
"Mana-sama, here are... Your... Undergarments." Anne saw Mana drooling with a ball gag on. Being spanked by Ramiel, her butt cheeks red.
"Forgive me Mana-sama! I didn't know you were pre-occupied!" She ran away and Mana tried reaching out to her, but she couldn't speak.
"Asking for help eh? You're not getting out of this one. Until you are ready to beg for Erina's forgiveness." With a crisp slap, he continued her spanking and Mana got teary eyed.
But something was awakening inside of her. All her life, she is the dominant force that no one dares to oppose. Being a part of the prestigious Nakiri clan.
And Ramiel noticed it when he saw something drip a bit. "Damn, you're kinky. What do you have to say about this huh?" He took off her ball gag.
"T-that's... That's from earlier I swear! You... I will sue you!" Mana glared at him, but her cheeks were dusted red and she was panting a bit.
"Then we're done here, I'll never do this again." He dropped her on the floor and he stood up. About to leave the room. "W-wait! I... I didn't enjoy that at all!" She huffed at the last second and didn't want to admit it.
"So Erina got it from you huh? Too bad Mana, I don't give in to tsunderes. It's not the cute type at all." He remembered Samus' being the embarrassed, but honest tsundere type that he likes.
"Come on, let's go see Erina. After you change your 'garments'." Ramiel rolled his eyes and Mana teared up in anger and embarrassment.
"Mumumu! Such a rude man... I'll get you for that. Just you wait!" Mana declared him as her nemesis for his transgressions.
