Balcony/Robber Story

Collect all of the Robber's 10 Food Soul Anecdote stories

 Once, when your old pal was loafing outside, I ran into that Hamburger fellow.
 That's when I realized that tramping around on the street is a harsh existence.
 I just couldn't understand how anyone could be as unrestrained as him.
 In the end, I couldn't stand it, and followed him to this restaurant, where he works.
 Although I didn't discover a particularly amazing place, still...
 The food is really good. It's so delicious, I'd feel bad if I didn't pay.
 **Overwhelming Aura**

 There's a fellow at this restaurant dressed all in black. I think his name is Caviar?
 Even though he looks bizarre, he sounds really smart when he talks.
 More like, I don't understand a word he says.
 But the really confusing one is his friend, Milt.
 Every time she smiles, I just can't read it. Is she actually capable, or is it a bluff?
 I think she's really dangerous. Better to keep my distance.
 **★ Original Intention**

 Years ago, your old pal dreamed of becoming a hero.
 But because I looked to vicious, I was shunned by other people, and in the end, I failed.
 At first i thought my life was doomed to mediocrity. Who would've guessed that this restaurant's Yellow Wine would change my attitude?
 He's clearly rotten to the core, but he always punishes bullies and helps the weak.
 It looks like I should stick to my original intention as well.
 At the very least, the next time I see a weakling in trouble, I'll go help out.
 **★ Glib Ignorance**

 Is this restaurant always full of weirdos?
 Who are you referring to?
 For example, the woman over there in the black clothing. She looks as if she's seen a ghost.
 You're very astute...
 And that moon-thing she's always holding, what on earth is it?
 They say it's a soul vessel.
 Huh?!?
 She uses that "moon" to draw her lover's soul towards reincarnation, that way he's continuously reborn.
 That's just too far out there. I'm gonna assume that you're joking, okay?
 Mm, that's definitely for the best~
 **★★ A Lot to Ask**

 The last time I came here, I saw Jiuniang being bullied by some of the neighborhood brats.
 Huh? When did this happen?
 Just a few days back. But as soon as I saw, I got mad and scared those brats off.
 I wouldn't have expected you to lend a helping hand. I'm very grateful.
 What part didn't you expect? A little girl was being bullied; your old pal wasn't going to stand by and watch.
 Afterwards, I said to her, if you don't want to be bullied, you just have to convince those guys that you're nastier than they are.
 I'm afraid Jiuniang won't be able to go that far.
 Mm, at the very least, she needs to bluff. Otherwise, it'll be hard for her to survive on these streets.
 What happened next?
 Of course, in the end she refused. But seeing that she has someone like Yellow Wine at her side, there's nothing to worry about.
 That's for sure~
 **★★ Seeking Novelty**

 Compared to the people I meet in town, now I actually prefer dealing with Food Souls.
 What's the difference between the two?
 When we reach the point where it's clear that we're gonna fight, people always look for an excuse to run away.
 And Food Souls?
 They let out a battle cry and charge right at me.
 That sounds a bit like Tempura's way of doing things.
 Yeah, that guy was named Tempura!
 So, you fought with Tempura?
 I did. Even though I got my butt handed to me, my mood was better than if he'd run. I appreciate a direct approach!
 I don't really understand how you think...
 **★★★ An Open Secret**

 When I passed by the window sill earlier, I smelled something delicious. Was that Pastel de Nata guy baking sweets?
 Yes, they're his specialty.
 They're good, but I've been thinking... that maybe he's being spied on?
 Eh? By who?
 A guy in a hat is always sneaking around. I'm pretty sure he's up to no good.
 If he's come to start trouble, your old pal will help you get rid of him!
 No, no, that's not necessary. Now that I think about it, the person peeping through Pastel de Nata's window is just Napoleon Cake.
 What, he can't just walk through the door?
 If he does, Pastel de Nata will drive him out.
 Drive him out? I think I understand.
 You're saying that the guy always pesters him.
 It seems like he really loves Pastel de Nata's sweets. That's no secret at this restaurant.
 **★★★ Bigger Fish**

 I heard that B-52 guy has a really sweet motorcycle.
 Oh, I heard about it.
 And he's made plans to form a biker gang.
 That guy wants to become one of the legendary outlaw bikers?
 Are you jealous?
 Less jealous, more worried that the streets are gonna get even crazier than they are now.
 Even though I washed my hands of crime, if the streets are filled with bikers, I'll have no choice but to come out and handle them!
 Are you intimidating enough?
 Ah, that was just a bluff. The opponent's a Food Soul, it would be better not to provoke him.
 Not to mention, the other side has so many people.
 If we can get them to scare away the other ruffians, I'll actually feel more at ease.
 At least there will be fewer Fallen Angels.
 Mm-hm, that's the most important thing.
 **★★★★ The Ringleader**

 Sometimes I can see these scoundrels from other areas coming into my territory to start trouble.
 Oh? They have guts.
 So, you took care of them?
 No...
 Then it looks like your era is over.
 Don't talk nonsense! It's not that I couldn't handle them, it's that these swordsmen took care of them first.
 And what were the names of these ghostly warriors from a bygone age?
 Gingerbread, Red Wine, and Steak.
 They usually stick to the city, and they're even more active than the guards charged with keeping the peace.
 If three Food Souls can maintain peace in the city, that's pretty great.
 It is great, the problem is that their own group is always getting in trouble.
 What do you mean?
 Red Wine and Steak are always fighting over some minor issue.
 If they're allowed to get going, they lay waste to everything around them.
 It was that serious?
 One time, they even dispatched the Gloriville garrison to subdue them.
 Is this... the power of Food Souls?
 So what kind of god is the Attendant who controls those three? I'd really like to meet them.
 Isn't it the owner of this restaurant?
 **★★★★ Slander**

 Lately, do you think that the people coming into the restaurant are looking at you funny?
 Ah? This again?
 That reminds me, recently there's been a nasty rumor.
 What, about me?
 There was something written about you in some no-name tabloid.
 It said, "Red haired man bullies Food Soul girl; evil knows no bounds!" Something like that.
 Oh, that.
 I thought you would be upset.
 I would be upset, but the story isn't true.
 Huh?
 That little girl Tangyuan came on a delivery, and since the food spilled, I helped her clean it up. That's all.
 The story really is being spread everywhere, huh?
 So, the tabloid took things out of context.
 But it's just some trash meant to attract readers. It's not enough to make your old pal angry.
 Hahaha, it looks like you actually have a bit of a heroic streak these days.
 At times like this, I feel ashamed. I created a lot of chaos to fulfill my own desires.
 Food Souls and even Fallen Angeles are much cuter than a couple of scoundrels posing as gentleman!
