- Silas -
Finally, it was time for the change of shift and Sakura and the girls were going to take the shift at the stall while Lavy actually had to go out to meet Va-kun, her little brother of sorts and had decided to bring Brandish with her.
Yuri and the others were actually talking to some people who were interested in our manga and wanted to discuss business and Shuna had accompanied them.
"But that still doesn't explain why I am the only one who can bring her along." I asked, looking at Rimuru.
"Well, you wanted your identity to remain unassociated with the company. And Milim cannot be left unsupervised. There was only one choice, really."
"But why can't anyone else take her with them?"
"Oh? Who?"
… yes who?
I thought of the list of people available to us and found out that there was really no one who could do so.
Shuna was not that knowledgeable of this world.
Someone from the Pleiades was good but my instincts were shouting at me to not let them do this job. I didn't know why but I just knew that it was not a good idea.
Tanya… letting two lolis walk around was like inviting trouble… well for the world, knowing who one of those lolis was.
Lavinia was already hanging out with Brandish and somehow I didn't think she could manage Milim.
There was also Miu but she had her hands full with Naruto and Kanna already.
Others were not really that close to Milim for her to listen to them.
Ainz wanted to experience Comic-con for himself and Rimuru was showing him around. They will also be watching over the business and producing extra copies of the manga if in demand, not to mention their Cosplay Event.
Milim was however getting bored and hungry and at the end of the day, I was the only one left.
"Now be careful and enjoy your day." They waved at me as they entered the place which was reserved by the Crossroad Publications.
"So, where are we going?" Asked a super excited Milim who was wearing a magical girl costume for our promotion.
I looked at the girl who looked no different from a normal person and decided to make her have fun for the day.
"We will go out to an amusement park nearby. But you do remember our deal, right?"
"Yup. I don't fight with anyone unless they hurt me. Don't tell anyone about the Restaurant and that I am not from this world. Hide my power. I remember everything." She gave me a thumbs up.
"Good. As a reward, I'll get you an ice-cream first. Come on." I replied as I let out an internal sigh of relief.
We headed to the ice-cream shop which was being run by an old woman. "Oh my, how cute. So what do you want, little Miss?"
"Sil, Sil, what do we eat?" Milim pointed at the list, eyes shining bright.
"You can take any you want?"
"Really!"
"Yes."
"Yay!" She jumped and got right to ordering everything she could.
The woman laughed at her antics. "You have a very adorable little sister."
….
….
I looked at Milim and saw her excitedly looking at the Ice Cream flavours, no different from an ordinary kid and realised that it was exactly what we looked like to people. Just a couple of siblings hanging out at Comiket.
Not a literal Arch Daemon and a World Ending Demon Lord.
The words even made Milim pause and look at me but I replied before she could say anything. "Yes. Yes she is very cute. Thank you."
Milim's eyes brightened at the reply. Finally, after fifteen minutes of deciding, she picked the funny looking ice cream cone which was almost piled up to half her height.
A bit away from the shop she suddenly stopped. "Sil… if we are acting as siblings, wouldn't I be the Onee-chan?"
….
No.
You don't look like one from any angle.
I wanted to say that but the look in her eyes made me just nod. "That would be correct, technically."
"Very well. Then I am the Onee-chan. If anyone troubles you, you can come to me. I will beat them up for you hahahaha."
That did not reassure me somehow, especially remembering the scene from the past.
We walked away from the venue and reached the amusement park nearby.
We played around in the amusement park for a few hours and I wouldn't lie… it was genuinely fun.
I used to go to amusement parks on my birthdays with my parents. Apparently, a friend of my dad's used to give them free tickets every year as he owned the park or something but it had almost become a ritual for our family. Every year, we went to the amusement park on my birthday.
We hadn't missed a single year… except this one.
It was then that I got a call from Ainz.
"What, I can't hear you? Dammit, this place has very bad reception. Let me take this outside." I looked at Milim and saw that Milim was playing on a Gaming Machine so I didn't disturb her and went out to take the call.
Years later, I would look back to this day and remember the two mistakes I made on this day.
First, was leaving Milim alone.
Second was the thing I thought about when leaving her.
'After all, what could go wrong in five minutes.'
As even the noobest of otaku could have called it out.
Yes, I raised a flag.
- Rias -
"Are you sure this is alright, Rias? The Comiket was fine but we are getting a bit out of the way now." Sona asked worriedly as she looked around.
"Umm, the performance after the Crossroads Band was nothing special. Onii-sama and the rest are going to be a bit late so we might not get to participate in the Cosplay Competition because someone didn't want to wear their Magical Girl costume today. And I have already bought every manga and Light Novel which has caught my interest. Now we can take some time to look around the area."
"And why exactly would we need to do something like that?" Sona argued as she looked around.
"Well, we are going to be coming to Japan for school starting from next year. I am just… scouting the area. Yes. I am just scouting the area."
"The extra repetition was not needed and we don't even know which area we will be assigned to manage. There is no point in scouting this place." Sona argued back again.
"Oh come one Sona. When will we get this kind of opportunity again? Onii-sama and Lady Serafall are in a meeting and we can explore the area ourselves. And this is Tokyo, Akihabara. The Lilith of all Otakus. It would be such a waste to not explore it."
"Stop wasting your time Sona. You know how she gets when this topic comes around." Akeno giggled and she pouted.
As they were passing by, a little girl in a magical girl costume passed by them.
"Hey hey, how much longer till we can get to the new game store? I have to go back too."
"Down that lane." The man pointed while looking around warily before hiding his face.
"Rias." Sona called her quietly.
"Yeah. That was suspicious. Should we follow them and see?" It was an adventure.
This time none complained and they secretly followed the two.
They entered the opening of an alley and could hear the voices of the two.
"You shouldn't follow around strange guys, jou-chan. Some of them might be bad people, you know." The man started walking towards the girl whose figure was covered by the man's back.
As they had thought, a kidnapper.
"So you are not taking me to the new game centre." The girl asked, narrowing her eyes with her hands on her waist as she glared at the person.
"Hahahaha. Oh, I will take you there but you might not like the game." He brought out a handkerchief from his pocket and some kind of bottle as he walked towards the girl.
"Milim punc…."
Tsubaki rushed in and chopped the neck of the kidnapper, downing him in an instant.
The girl who was preparing to punch the kidnapper relaxed and tilted her head cutely as she looked at their group.
"Are you alright? He didn't hurt you, did he?" She asked, while Sona went to tie up the kidnapper and report the matter to the police.
"Hurt me? Hahahaha how could such a weakling hurt me? I am very strong." She laughed, puffing her chest adorably.
"Do you have anyone we could send you to? A friend or relative maybe?" Sona asked as she finished calling the police.
"Oh, I forgot Sil. He told me to stay at the game place." The girl suddenly realised something.
"Sil? Your guardian?"
"He is my brother." She replied, seeming oddly proud of the fact.
"Then how do we contact your elder brother? Do you have a phone number or something? Where is the Game Shop you were talking about?"
"Eh? Sil is not my elder brother."
"But you just said…"
"I am the Onee-chan hahahaha."
All of them sweatdropped at the girl's attitude.
"And here is the phone number." She brought out a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it over to them."
"... this is the bill of the game centre."
"Eh? I guess I forgot the phone number than hahahaha." She laughed unabashed.
Sona let out a sigh and she couldn't help but let out a giggle. A magical girl who doesn't care about the world and acts as she likes.
"It's like Sona-chan is a magnet for Magical Girls." Akeno giggled, making Sona glare at her queen.
"We will go to the shop and see if we can find your brother." Sona replied not paying any attention to Akeno's joke. "What is your name?"
"Hahahaha be grateful to be in my presence. I am the Demon Lord Milim Nava… ughh, Magical Girl Sailor Moon… yeah, that!"
….
….
Sona was the only one who didn't laugh.
In fact if Rias knew her well, she might be having a headache right about now.
"You know, this can be considered as a practice for communicating with children. A good quality for someone who wants to open a school." She whispered in her ears, making her turn her glare to her as she giggled.

"Ohh! This looks good. What is this?" The girl, Milim or rather Magical Girl Demon Lord Milim Nava looked at the people eating crepe with glittering eyes.
"That's a crepe shop. Would you like one?" She offered the girl. After all, who could withstand the cuteness that the girl was radiating at every new thing in the place? It was like she was in a completely new world. Maybe she was in a different country for a vacation?
As they sat down with the crepe for each member of their group.
Milim was enjoying her crepe with a blissful look on her face. "You know what, you're all pretty good people. I like this crepe thing. It's nothing compared to what Sil makes but still good."
"Oh, your brother is good at cooking?"
"Hmm hmm, he is a chef. He doesn't want to be my personal chef though or I would make him cook all kinds of tasty things for me. But his place is not bad either."
"Chef? Isn't he your younger brother?" Sona asked.
"He is. What of it?" The girl tilted her head causing Sona to sweatdrop. "You are quite weird Glasses." She continued before going back to eating, making Sona's lips twitch.
"Glasses? And who might you mean by that name?" Sona asked, barely controlling her anger.
"Eh? You obviously."
Akeno intervened before Sona burst in anger. "Is that a nickname you gave her? Then again, we haven't told you our names so using nicknames is understandable. My name is Akeno. She is Rias. This is Tsubaki and the girl you called Glasses is called Sona."
"Oh! Cool."
"So, Milim-chan. If Sona is Glasses, then what are our nicknames?" She asked her, curiously.
"Your nicknames? Hmm, the red one is Boobies The one with the hairband is Super Boobies. The last one is Glasses Boobies."
… She probably shouldn't have asked.
The look on Sona's face didn't make things better either. It was not a big secret that Sona was a bit conscious about the size of her assets, especially when everyone around her was growing at a quick pace. Even Rias herself had grown considerably in the last two years.
"So what are you doing in Japan, Milim?" She asked quickly, changing the topic.
"Hmm. Rimuru and the others were coming to have fun at the Comiket and I didn't want to be left out so Sil and I went out to play. Then that baddie tricked me. I should have given him a taste of my Milim Punch."
"Your brother must be worried for you. Can you tell us how he looks so that we might find him quicker?"
"Hmm. He has black hair. Blue eyes and smells like Glasses. Hmm. Actually, he looks a bit like Glasses."
"My name is Sona Sitri." Sona left out a sigh once more.
"Oh. And he also sighs a lot like you. I don't know why."
She giggled looking at Sona's face.
It was probably the first time she was teased like this by someone who was not her elder sister. The fact that the girl was a self proclaimed Magical Girl Demon Lord is even funnier.
"You came to visit the Comiket?"
"Hmm."
"Let's go there then." She offered. "We are also living near the Comiket venue and we could take you to meet your friends there."
"We are going to the shop first. Her brother might be waiting there first. I have already contacted the police to inform them about the case and the nearby police station is near the area too." Sona intervened and she pouted.
"Hmm. That might be true. If not then we could have announcements made at the Comiket for lost kids too."
The five of them walked towards the place when she felt something odd.
"There is a barrier around the area." Akeno notified, as all four of them took positions to look for the caster.
A barrier in such a place… was never a good thing.

Author's Note:
I am back with another chapter of 'Isekai Restaurant'.
I know some of you might be disappointed by the point the story ended but trust me if I needed to do that to complete the next chapter properly.
Next chapter will be the final part of the Comiket arc. We will even see the repercussions of the events there.
Just bear with me till then.
Anyways, several things happened in this chapter.
Sil got healed from his mental damage via snu-snu (the best kind of medicine).
Everyone roped Silas into singing and he rocked the entire show. The reason I took so much time to write these petty details will become clear later on.
Sona has a new favourite idol.
Finally, we are at the point where Silas is going to enter the scene of DxD.
I am excited to write the chapters but next up on schedule is SAO.
Also, I don't want to hurry and ruin the chapter either.
I will try to get it out earlier so don't worry.
Enjoy the new chapter.
Good Day, Peace Out.
