"Takeda how is the shrimp going?" I hear chef Himuro shouting
"Just done, just gotta plate it."I hurry over with the shrimp.
"Perfect timing!" Chef Himuro gives me a smile as he begins doing his magic.
No matter how many times I see it it's quite impressive how he can so seamlessly make artistic masterpieces with his presentations especially remembering every order from memory.
I signal to the waitresses that there are dishes ready to be served.
"Some cabbage, boy!."Chef Himuro asks as the waitresses are taking the orders to the tables.
"Right!"I go chop some cabbage.
Sorry, I was a bit busy and forgot to introduce myself I am Takeda Nobuo.
As you saw I am a chef at a small restaurant that was started by my boss Himuro Gentoku... I have no idea how he ended in this small place but it scored me a job, so I don't question it.
"Again thanks for coming when Keito was sick." Chef Himuro sighs in relief.
"I mean, Keito covered for me when I was sick, i owe him this one, just glad I was free." I said though the sound of the staff door opening caught our attention.
"Heya, you two need a hand?" Keito's twin brother Geiz asked as he entered.
"Weren't you taking care of Keito?" I asked.
"When I got there his girlfriend was already there, so I decided to help here." Geiz said putting on his apron.
"Well, we could use an extra pair of hands." Chef Himuro said.
"So long as they are clean." I mutter as I continue working.
Soon enough it's time for me to go out.
"Hey, Nobuo wait up!" A girl comes running up as I leave.
"Heya Kyo, didn't know you were working today." I say, slowing down.
This is Kobayashi Kyo, my childhood friend she was the one that got me working on the restaurant.
"Unlike you I work the whole week." Kyo puffs up her nonesixtant chest.
"You were thinking something rude just now." Kyo frowns as she catches me.
"Nope, I was just thinking how your hair is different than usual." I give a bad excuse.
"Oh you noticed? I am using a new product." she quickly falls for it as she strokes her green dyed hair.
"Yup, looks great!" I play along.
"Hey, look!" she points up at the sky as we see a red shooting star crossing the sky.
"Oh, we should make a wish." I comment as I make my wish in my heart.
"Right!" Kyo says flustered not noticing that something seems to have broken off the star heading our way.
"Watch out!" I push her down as the fragment crashes right where her head was moments ago.
As I look back at the small crater formed by the meteorite I notice that the meteorite was a bit different than I thought.
"T-Thanks."Kyo mumbles looking at the crater aswell.
"Hey, this meteor looks a bit weird."I say as I get closer to the watermelon sized crater.
"Don't get closer to it! what if it's dangerous!?" Kyo rushes to my side as light starts coming from the crater and launches us away.
As I get up from the ground I notice I am wearing an armor and Kyo is nowhere to be seen.
"Kyo?"I ask in a panic soon hearing her voice coming from the belt.
"Takeda, I don't know what is happening help!"Kyo starts panicking.
"I'm trying..." I start tapping at the belt buckle finding the right button which releases her.
"Thank god, I thought I was gonna be stuck there forever." Kyo says, her legs buckling under her.
"Are you alright?"I ask, helping her up.
"Y-Yeah. Just scared."Kyo holds me with all the strength left in her.
"I'm gonna get you home." I say as the armor disappears soon after.
The rest of the way there Kyo was silent
I was unaware of it but atop a building someone was watching.
"Takeda Nobuo, 25 years old, earlier than usual but that's what I get from meddling with time." A mysterious armored person speaks to themselves watching the events that just happened.
"Kyo Kobayashi, 24 years old, if the timeline isn't altered too much she's next."The mysterious armored person disappears soon after
