Shadow Slave

Chapter 463

The three of them sat down and were presented with old-fashioned, paper menus to make their choice from. Sunny stared at the word "steak" for a bit, then shuddered and shifted his gaze to the salad section.

A few minutes later, a waiter approached to take their order. Effie spoke:

Then, she turned to them, smiled innocently, and asked:

"...Oh, and what about you, guys? What are you going to order?"

"It's so nice to see you, Sunny. Effie and I were really worried!"

Sunny cleared his throat.

"That's, uh… thanks. I guess. I sort of… assumed that you wouldn't notice that I was gone."

Effie sighed.
