"Hello! Welcome to WcRonalds, may I take your order?" A teenage girl with orange hair and pigtails said to me with a polite smile on her face.
I paused for a second as I realized who she was, though I smirked internally before I decided to make the best order in gaming history.
"I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda." I said after I finished feeling proud of myself as Saiki side eyed me.
'Isn't that a GTA reference?'
'Of course it is, you have to pull that off at least once when going to WcRonalds, after all it was made for that store in the game.' I communicate back to him through the telepathic link between us.
The girl hearing that was a bit flustered, but was able to put down on the register, "Ok! Will that be everything today?" She didn't seem annoyed so she obviously didn't get that reference, but I'm probably the first person to give her that order specifically.
"Yes that will be it." I say as I pat for it all.
"Will that be for here or to go?"
"For here, but can you still put them in bags so we can take them if we don't eat it all right away?" I ask and she nods before handing me a little number sign that we could put at our table so we headed off to find a spot to sit down.
Luckily it was between the time of lunch and dinner on a weekday so the store wasn't that full of customers at the moment so we found a good corner spot by the window.
"'…. Say do you know her? I saw you pause for a second and your eyes widened a little when you saw her, but she clearly doesn't know you, what's that all about?'" He says as he raises an eyebrow at me.
(N) I should say this just incase but whenever Saiki 'talks' his sentences have "''" at the beginning and end of them, it's signaling he's talking with telepathy but in a way that it seems like he is talking normally to everyone else and so they don't notice when his lips don't move but if it's only these '' it means he's talking through direct mind to mind connection with Hifumi.
"Let's just say she is part of a bigger story than herself, it doesn't revolve around her, but revolves around her co-worker." I say casually as I shift my eyes slightly to the other guy who was in the kitchen working on making the food.
Saiki uses his psychic powers to sense who I was talking about without needing to look, but as he does his eyes widen slightly beneath his sunglasses as he sees the guy look directly at him before going back to making the food for us.
"'Your right, I can feel it from him after looking closely, something about him isn't right.'" He mentions to me before drinking his soda.
"Well he's not human, then again I'm not exactly human either but he's different from what I am." I can at least keep my human looks like that guy, Sadao Maou, can with his but where as my true form is an Anti-Spiral his is a demon.
'Best we don't keep talking about him, he's delivering our food it seems.' I say in my mind as I drink from my soda as well.
"Here is your food, please enjoy." He says politely, but his smile isn't matching his eyes, he's suspicious of us.
"Thank you, though your not being subtle about how suspicious of us you are." I say as I casually open up the bag and take out my burger before pushing the bag to Saiki to get his food.
"Well I don't appreciate being stared at by your friend like that, it just sends of red flags in my head when I see that." He says as he turns to look at Saiki who is eating his burger.
"'Don't blame me, he said that you weren't normal so I had to check, and you being able to see me look at you in my astral form says he's right, normal people don't see that.'" He says while still munching on his burger.
"…. Your not even hiding that your talking through my head like that?" He says as he raises an eyebrow.
"Most people don't even notice that and just assume he's talking normally, so you noticing that means your not normal as well." I say as I point out where he messed up again, Saiki's psychic powers make it so those that don't know he has psychic powers ignore that he's not speaking with his mouth, him pointing out just proves a second time he's not normal.
"…. Alright, what do you want with me then?" He said getting defensive as he quite likes the life he lives now, and doesn't particularly want to have to flee and start again.
"Nothing really, we just came here to eat and just noticed you weren't exactly normal, if it wasn't me I doubt anyone else would notice, but I should say this, don't reveal your true form if you can handle it, or else if a certain group of people get wind of you, they will hunt you down relentlessly." Satou is similar to a Dead Apostle if he reveals his true form to the world, if the ClockTower gets wind then they will send their best to deal with him, and in a world where magic energy is thin now they have a good shot at putting him down if they send enough enforcers.
"Tch, just great I get found out like this just because you come here, I better get better ways to conceal myself then." He says rubbing the back of his head before going back to work since he couldn't keep nothing us long in the first place unless he's feeling to get yelled at by his boss, he wasn't really worried about us as he didn't feel any hostilities or anything in the first place.
"'What group were you talking about anyway? Is it those guys you mentioned to me once before or something?'" Saiki looks at me as he raises his eyebrow.
"Same group, but they have a devision of Enforcers who go after things that are threats to Humanity, and from what I can see, if he reveals his true form just like me, we'd both be hunted down for what we are." I say nonchalantly as I ate some of my fries.
"'I get the feeling your not even remotely worried about them then?'" He says finishing up his food as I do the same.
"You could say that, unless their leader(Zelretch) or strongest combatant(The Blue) comes out to deal with me personally, no body in that organization is even remotely threatening to me." I say after packing up the extra food we had left before throwing the rest away and heading out.
"'I'm slightly curious, how many people have you met that have their own 'stories' as you put it, surrounding them?'" He was a bit intrigued as this knowledge made him realize that this world isn't that boring as he thought and actually has a hidden side to it.
"If I had to count the ones I know personally while including you that would be…. 5 but I know of groups that have their own stories but I haven't got to know personally would make that number around 10 in total, but that's from what I know there's probably even more than that, that I just don't know of right now." I go onto say after thinking about it for a bit.
"'Huh…. I guess this world is a rather diverse place with plenty of secrets left to explore.'" He said as he looked thoughtful about it.
"You could say that, but it makes things more interesting at least." I say as I look up to the clouds.
I wonder what other story I would get involved in next? But it's best I focus on me and get more and more SP as time goes on.
