Hell Inn: Rebirth - I Became a Chef in Hell

The second half of Chapter 156 is a wistful dream – S01E06

"Give me the money from the cash register!"

"How many do you want?"

"……all!!!"

"It's not the right time yet. There's not much money in the cash register, just a few coins."

"You bitch, do you want to die?! You fucking bastard, I'm not wasting my time here with you!"

How can I help you?

"..."

When Christina returned to where she started, she thought she was dreaming.

Moreover, she strongly suspected that the woman in front of her was playing a trick on her, but because the woman was acting so seriously, Christina felt that the other woman seemed to be genuinely interested...

So, besides telling me earlier that the bread at the bakery was on sale, the woman straightened up in the next few seconds.

With an inflexibility and a lack of emotional fluctuation, a stubbornness and obstinacy—

It's unbelievable.

"...You idiot, have you never been robbed before?!" The silver-haired female demon waved her hands frantically.

But the woman just watched as she tilted her head slightly, like a canine listening intently out of bewilderment.

"..."

Looking at the woman in front of her, Christina, who had never encountered anything like this before, felt as if she was about to foam at the mouth with anger. She couldn't tell if the woman was calm or simply had an underdeveloped brain.

"How can I help you?"

"If you want money, then at least give me a reason."

So the woman asked the question again, and even added a seemingly absurd supplement.

She seemed completely unmoved by Christina's rage and the threat of easily lethal weapons.

...or rather, the woman's attitude could even be described as indifferent.

She did nothing wrong, yet her actions could still be described as a perfect provocation.

Christina: "..."

"You want a reason?"

"Fine, then I'll give you a reason!" Christina's lips twitched as she gave a forced smile.

Just listen to a loud "bang"!

The hot-tempered silver-haired sinner slammed his fist on the cash register counter in front of the woman, while his other hand pointed provocatively upwards at the woman's chin.

"Because I'm robbing money now to live this damn son of a bitch's life!"

"Although I admit that my body is so hot that everyone wants to have sex with me, I don't want to sign that piece of shit contract with a porn studio this weekend just because I don't have money!"

Out of anger, the female demon's exaggeratedly thick eyelashes folded up like the wings of a dark butterfly.

She squinted, revealing sharp teeth at the corners of her mouth.

"So now, do you understand?!"

"I don't have time to play word games with a socially awkward freak like you who looks like he has no friends! Hand over your money now!"

Christina was practically yelling at her, probably because the other person's indifferent reaction was so infuriating.

The female sinner's silver hair bristled violently due to her master's rage.

This makes her look like a fierce and ferocious carnivore.

"Whether it's the money from this store or the money you made selling things... whatever! Hand it all over to me!"

"..."

"If you don't have money, you have to go to a pornographic film studio and sign a contract to sell yourself? This weekend?"

The woman, who remembered this incident very clearly for some reason, winked at her.

"..." Why is this the key point?

Faced with the long sentence that the woman had finally managed to utter, Christina felt for a moment as if she were an animal with its neck being grabbed.

She choked for a long time but couldn't say a word.

With a rustling sound, Christina, who was about to say something more, suddenly froze.

It was only then that she noticed the woman had an astonishingly long tail.

That tail hidden under the counter must be at least four meters long.

The jet-black snake scales shimmered with a mysterious metallic luster under the light.

It slowly rubbed against the ground, making a rustling sound that sent chills down your spine, like some kind of animal hiding in the bushes.

'If she wanted to, she could probably kill a sinner like her with just this tail, right?'

Realizing this, Christina's gaze, suddenly filled with shock and anger, darted between the woman before her and the tail on the ground that was occasionally twitching slightly—

But in fact, Christina noticed that the woman in front of her frowned when she heard her say "contract of servitude".

This gave the woman, who originally resembled a machine, a strangely human touch.

However, before Christina could start cursing again, the woman wisely pulled out a wad of cash and a few crumpled bills from her wide sleeves.

Aside from her complete silence, every single one of her actions could be described as harmless.

Christina glared at the woman in front of her.

Although the other party inexplicably produced money, Christina still felt that they were playing her for a fool.

Just then, a piece of cardboard that seemed to possess magical power appeared, wrapped up the money, and floated in front of Christina.

"...This is the money I've earned myself recently."

The woman said that to her.

For some reason, her gentle and slow voice reminded Christina of her mother's helpless admonition.

...a bizarre madman.

Christina stared intently at the woman's hand, afraid that she might take the money back.

Although she desperately wanted to snatch the money from the other person's hand, this impulse was so strong, both in her dreams and in her memories...

But after seeing the other person's tail, she didn't dare to do it anymore.

After taking out the money, Christina suddenly noticed the woman pause slightly, as if remembering something—

Immediately, she saw herself standing right in front of a sinner...

Suddenly, without warning, she turned her back!?

"You! You fucking aren't allowed to move!!!" Driven by the instinct for survival and distrust of the hellish bastards, Christina's eyes widened, and she blurted out the words involuntarily.

...Is this behavior, riddled with flaws, courting death, or does it mean they simply don't care about a minor sinner like her?

Was she making fun of herself?

Confused by the woman's actions, the silver-haired female demon angrily and fearfully held up the dagger in her hand.

But when the other person turned around, they were only holding a few pieces of bread wrapped in paper.

Because of Christina's reaction, the woman's expression revealed a bewilderment that could only be described as utterly foolish.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Christina's gaze fell on what the other person was holding.

It was a specially made cardboard-colored soft paper, and the fragrant oil stains had left large marks on the plastic-sealed surface.

Several bread rolls, sprinkled with pork floss and filled with ham, lay exquisitely inside.

The ingredients, plump and fragrant, were scattered on the table with the woman's gentle movements.

A slight look of helplessness flashed across the woman's face, before she calmly reached out to wipe away the evidence of her carelessness.

With a touch of childishness and blankness that seemed out of place.

"The store is having a discount today, take these and eat them."

"..."

To Christina's utter bewilderment and shock, the woman, whose every action was strangely counterintuitive, shoved the bread into her hand—

Along with that large wad of cash.

...Even though her face was still expressionless, she could still utter such terrifying words.

"Don't sign a contract of servitude. Try to live on this money—if it can help you avoid hurting others or yourself for the time being."

"To my unfamiliar child in a foreign land, I wish you plenty of food and warm clothes."

Wishing you happiness today and tomorrow.
