《4 Letters Long [OHSHC]》12| Akane

"So, where do you plan on taking me?"
"Oh, how about a place to eat?" We pull up to a restaurant called "The Good Kitchen". We get out of the limo and walk inside.
"Reservation for Kaoru." Kaoru says.
"Right this way." says the lady holding menus. As we walk, I admire the interior-- diamond chandeliers, floral patterned tablecloth and smooth, white-wood chairs, and beautiful murals. Lots of men and women-- mostly elders-- were dressed in fancy outfits.
"Aren't we a tiny bit underdressed for this place?" I whisper.
"No, actually. We're going to the common room. You know, for common people. This place is for filthy, filthy rich people."
"And I thought your house was too much." I mumble incoherently.
We go through a set of glass double-doors and it led us to a room with a fireplace, bookcases and more tables and chairs-- most of them were full. It kind of reminded me of the club room the Hosts use.
"Here you are." The lady shows us to a table in the corner by a window.
"Thank you." I tell her and she slips away. I sit down in the chair-- feeling unworthy of sitting in it-- and took a look at the menu.
I didn't even know what half of this stuff was. I felt so weird.
"Does it matter what you eat? If not, I can get some things to share."
"That sounds great." I say with relief.
When the waiter swings by with our drinks, Kaoru orders a few things and we were alone again.
"What are you thinking right now?" Kaoru props his head with his elbows on the table.
"Well, a little out-of-place. I shouldn't though, I mean, I'm going out with a rich kid..." He reaches out and touches my hand and I stop.

"I don't want you to see me as just a rich kid, I'm not any different from other kids. Don't let my social class interfere with the way you look at me."
"I wasn't saying that... well, maybe I was. I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it, between the two of us, we're socially the same. Okay?"
"Alright." He pulls his hand away.
"Good." Our food came and plates were placed on our table.
"So tell me about the food." I say when the waiter left. Kaoru took a plate in his hands.
"These are lamb sandwiches, saffron couscous, and almond mousse." He gave me a lamb sandwich.
"What kind of food is this?"
"Not sure, I think this is just a taste of what royalty kind of people eat."
"Well, no wonder because this is freaking amazing." I manage to say through a mouthful of lamb sandwich.
The rest of the food I was introduced to was just the same. It was all so good, there were tastes my mouth never experienced before. I've only been eating foods I could afford and that's nothing compared to the food I ate.
After that, he took me to a few shops and we got ice cream for dessert.
And finally, for the last stop of the night, Kaoru took me to the movie theater to see a romance called "The Space Between Us".
"I never heard of this movie."
"That's because it doesn't come out until February. It's October."
"Really? Then how are we...?" He grins.
"Ohh, that's why. You rich kids get everything."
"You make it sound like it's a bad thing."
"It is." We enter a movie theater and we were guided to a secret theater. It was big too.

"Do all movie theaters have secret rooms like this?" I mused.
"Only a few." Kaoru responds.
"There's a shocker." I walk down the stairs which were lit with cool, blue lights. I didn't even notice the seats...
"What the-- the seats!" They were not regular movie theater seats-- they're freaking recliners. They were in pairs in a tiny little area surrounded by their own little wall. The recliners were conjoined and share a little table that had a menu for snacks and refreshments. The recliners were able to move by two little buttons. Each recliner had its own speaker too.
"This is really overwhelming..."
"Well, enjoy it. It's not like anyone can waltz in here."
"True, true. But still... and the recliners have their own blankets too! I pick up a neatly folded blanket and unravel it.
"They're so soft..."
"Welcome to luxury." Kaoru says, chuckling.
Then, the place became dim.

The Court of Souls?
Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it, or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur) ——————————————————————————————— Reading Order of the Multiverse-Books ——————————————————————————————— What do we talk about tonight? ~“How about a story?”~ Fine by me. Which story? Hopefully a good one. ~“There was once a lonely child in a world filled with myths, gods and demons. Only power counted there and the weak were worse than cattle. A world where survival of the fittest ruled.”~ Was it strong then? ~“No, but the child had a power. One that made him stand between light and darkness. Nothing could escape him, so he was shunned by his people.”~ What did he do? Did he fight his fate? Did he hide his power? What was it? ~“Oh, he fought. He fought a lot. And no thing could escape his power. It was something that everyone had to live with.”~ So he became a hero and changed the world? ~“…”~ Tell me. ~“Nooo, that's not how the story goes. This isn't a story of a noble man, doing good amidst a sea of monsters. This is a story of a demon who was... kinder than the rest.”~ A kind demon? How boring. ~“I think it would be better if I tell the story, so you can judge for yourself.”~ So tell the story!

Reincarnated as a Troll in a Dark Fantasy World
A troll wakes up in the "forest of beginning" of a fantasy world with only faint memories of his past human life and unable to speak. The human realm will spare no expense to bring down this monstruous threat. While clinging to his humanity, the troll must use his cunning and modern knowledge to survive and evade the hunters. It is a dark age in a world of swords and magic, ruled by superstition and iron-clad rules. Tradition and conformity are the absolute cornerstones of society. There is no calendar, people count time by seasons, or days. Death, famine and vicious monsters are everywhere. People clutch in their communities, afraid of what is outside. Here and there, a Hero rises, his tale brief like a shooting star. Powerful monsters that drift too close to human's realm must be eradicated at any cost, or society might crumble. The Troll comitted this sin. This "isekai' LitRPG novel is an experiment in writing. We commit to the "Adventure" and "Fantasy" genres, but it might have comedy, romance, and both dark and light tones. Some events in this novel are drawn from random encounter generators and others are decided on a die roll just like a tabletop RPG. Things take a unpredictable tone! Non constructive / offensive comments may be deleted without previous warning. Daily Updates: One each monday through friday, two on saturday and sunday. As of september, the updates will be every even-numbered day. Cover Credits: "Ett gammalt bergtroll" - John Bauer, 1904 (with modifications)
