The heroes received three days of rest.
Three days without mandatory training, without trials, without evaluations. A margin of time that, for many, meant an opportunity to relax, distract themselves, or simply assimilate everything that had happened up to that moment.
For Aku, however, it was nothing more than another way to observe.
He didn't waste time.
He spent much of those days in the cafeteria.
At first, out of simple curiosity.
The place functioned in a way that didn't quite fit any conventional system. There were no visible cooks, no long waits, no clear limitations. The food simply... appeared. Adapted, apparently, to whoever requested it.
It was efficient and very convenient. But for some reason the demon king missed the treatment he had received on the Argos from the waitress.
Aku tried everything.
