The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 52

Chapter 52: And you’re a thousand years too early to be interrupting my meal Chapter 52: And you’re a thousand years too early to be interrupting my meal “This is ridiculous.” Fredrick slammed his hand on the table.

“Just what are you making us watch?” Alice looked up at him and shrugged, “I’on know,” she picked her teeth with a piece of chicken bone.

“You can always look the other way.

I’m not forcing you to watch me eat.” She said and threw the piece of bone in her hand at the pile of bones in the corner.

“It’s your choice.” Fredrick grew mad in rage.

How dare she speak to him rudely like that?

He was fed up.

He got up and charged at her, against the council’s agreement.

“I’ll show you that I’m not someone you can act arrogantly towards.

You’re a thousand years too early to be looking down on me.” He said, taking his spear from his back and charging at her like a fierce tiger.

“Thrust of thunder.” He yelled.

It was funny how no one reacted when he charged at Alice.

It could be seen that they were all curious as to how Alice would react to an attack while caught off guard like that.

If she had indeed cleared the red gate on her own, then fending off against a guild master should not be too much to handle, right?

They watched in anticipation.

Someone from the council activated a shield around the chefs who were at work so they wouldn’t get caught in the blast.

But the most shocking thing happened and honestly, they couldn’t tell exactly what had happened because it happened too fast.

Alice, seeing Fredrick’s thrust of thunder headed for her, pushed her chair back, worked with her feet like she was dancing, and avoided the thrust just a centimeter.

Fredrick looked at her shocked and wondered how she did it but she raised her leg and did a right leg sweep, and with the monster strength she had in her leg, she sent him flying towards the wall.

He crashed into the wall, cracked it, in fact, and fell unconscious from there, shocking everyone.

Alice acted so fast that he didn’t even have time to react to her simple kick.

“And you’re a thousand years too early to be interrupting my meal.” She said and looked at the council.

“Well?

Anyone else want to interrupt my meal?” She asked but silence followed.

“Yeah, I thought so.” She picked up her chair and sat down, ready for the next meal.

The chairman saw this and laughed.

This finally showed them that she was not all talk and this girl…

Was dangerous.

“Let’s let Miss Alice finish her meal.” He said, feeling satisfied for some reason.

“Or does anyone want to try and stop her?

Be my guest.” No, there was no one.

They could not fully confirm her strength with the fight just now.

Heck, it couldn’t even be considered a fight since she swept the floor with Fredrick.

Literally.

And because they were unsure of her strength, they did not want to pull their chances and could only wait till she was done.

“Since there is none, let us allow this young Miss to eat her meal in peace.” The guy wearing a mask watched everything unfold and through his mask, he snickered, “This should be fun.

I knew you were fascinating from the first moment I met you.” His eyes peered at Alice and she felt it.

She looked up at him and he smirked.

‘He’s weird.’ she thought.

*Look who’s talking.* Leo spoke.

‘Ah, you’re there?

I thought you went silent since you didn’t respond for a while.’ *I knew you had the situation under control.* He said.

*And Alice, do know that even if you are more powerful than the people here, they have more experience than you.* ‘Hm, that’s a given.

They’re veterans.’ she thought and gnawed on the hot and freshly roasted meat that was given to her.

But then she paused.

‘Wait, are you trying to tell me something?’ *I just want you to be careful.

Sometimes, experience beats real strength.

And you’re not all that powerful now to take on powerful humans.* He said.

*They’re conniving, scheming, and know how to slip out of sticky situations.* ‘Hm, I get your point.’ She thought and continued eating.

‘But I doubt I’ll ever get more experience than them.

So…

I’ll just have to beat experience with enough strength.’ she grinned.

Thirty minutes later, Alice burped and covered her mouth.

“Excuse me.

Where are my manners?” She had finally finished eating.

Fredrick had woken up, though his order was hurt and he could not believe that Alice would knock him out like that, he went to take his seat and do as the Chairman said.

“Ah, thank you, Gramps, that was a great meal.” Alice said, resting back on her chair.

“I feel so satisfied.

It’s been so long since I felt this satisfied.” Yes, they could see that.

There was no way she wouldn’t be satisfied after all that she ate.

Just how was she able to eat so much in that little body of hers and not a bloated stomach?

They doubted that she even had a bump in her stomach from eating so much but they could not confirm it since she was wearing a coat that was buttoned up completely.

“So, are you ready to start talking, Miss Alice?” The chairman and she nodded.

“Oh, hold on.” Alice said.

“You haven’t given me your name yet.” She pointed out.

He made the introductions and explained who the people in the council were but did not mention his name.

“My…name?” He asked and she nodded.

“Yeah,” she said.

“Though, I’m gonna keep calling you gramps.

I just need to know who you are.” She smiled.

‘Hm, who I am.’ the chairman thought.

He was known by many names.

He was known as the chairman of N.A.A., Monster Slayer, the Rock, and many others that people saw fit to call him.

It got to a point that he almost forgot who he was before the apocalypse and post-apocalypse.

But even before the apocalypse, he was known as the richest man in the country, owning a mine and oil plant.

Even then, people at least tried to call his name along with his title.

But the world was broken now and humans only knew how to address people in power by their titles.

“My name, you say,” he said, looking up to the ceiling as if searching for his name there.

“My name is Adolf.

Adolf Reinhart.” He said, and Alice tilted her head.

“Hm, that’s weird,” she said, “What is?” “Well, it’s funny but…” She laughed lightly.

“…you and I have the same last names.

My full name is Alice Reinhart.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah Hm, isn’t that last part suspicious?
