“Hey boss, look at that beautiful girl with long black hair. She’s so pretty.” Said a thin man in a white uniform.
“Yeah, I also saw her. Only with that pretty face and her beautiful body, she deserves to be my lover hehe…”
The young nobleman in a similar uniform smiled evilly before licking his lips, he watched Elysia’s figure enter the restaurant with a hot gaze.
The two of them came from aristocrats of different levels as well as students from the Deterry Academy of Magic who failed to advance to the class because they failed the promotion exam this year.
They remain in the first-year class to repeat the school year again but with bad intentions because they are actually one year ahead of their classmates later.
“But boss, what if she is the aristocrat on top of you? Look at that beautiful classy dress she is wearing.” The skinny man expressed his concern.
“Heh David, did you forget? What’s the use of nobility in this prestigious academy, huh? Nothing! Even all aristocrats living in this capital city are prohibited from directly interfering with academy affairs.”
“You’re so confident, boss.” David nodded as if he was getting a role model.
“Of course, idiot! Watch it, I Brian Chapman will make that beautiful girl fall in love with me immediately with just my good looks and my sweet words.” Brian combed his hair confidently.
“Wow, amazing! Maybe you can teach this humble me later about your great being.” David was amazed by his friends who also failed to make it to second grade.
“All right, let’s go follow her there. Maybe you will learn some amazing things from the great me haha!” Brian laughed very proudly of himself as he walked towards the classy yet simple restaurant called ‘Square Angel’.
“That’s cool boss! I’m David Moore will follow you as your loyal vassal!” David with his thin body followed his boss with enthusiasm.
“Hahaha! Get on the ship and explore the seas with me.” Brian is getting excited about his vassal who loves to glorify himself here and there.
As the second son, he rarely gets praise from his family because all the spotlight and attention is always given to his brother.
“Aye, Captain!” David saluted like a sailor.
While they were heading into the restaurant, Elysia was looking for a seat for herself in the busy restaurant because it seemed like service would be provided when the guests had secured their table.
‘Ah! There’s an empty one over there, thank goodness. I would be embarrassed if I walked in only to come out again because it was full.’ Elysia muttered in her mind as she approached the table in the corner she found to be the only empty table.
‘Fufu… Lil Ely, you could be. But isn’t this strange? The restaurant in this noble district did not offer a welcome like <Welcome master, Nyan!> Or any other sweet words.’ Elena joked lightly.
‘Hehe… Sister Elena, this restaurant is not a maid cafe. Maybe it’s something they usually do or maybe it’s because the restaurant is so busy that they don’t have time to greet the new guests to guide them to the table.’ Elysia shared her logical observations when she saw the busy waitress.
As soon as Elysia had secured a four-person table in the corner and sat on the sofa, a waitress approached Elysia with a menu in hand.
“Welcome to ‘Square Angel’! This is your menu book, what would you like to order?” The waitress cheerfully hands Elysia a menu book before taking out a note to record the guest’s order.
“Um, wait a moment.” Elysia received the menu book with a small smile and immediately browsed through the menu which looked like a picture album book with the name of the dish under each picture.
‘Vanessa, what do you want to eat? Look at this, there are so many dishes.’
Confused looking through the menu sheet, Elysia put the cat on her lap to the table to help her choose the dishes from the menu book.
‘How about this? It looks delicious too! And this too!’ Vanessa helps her master to choose with her tiny paw while each sheet of the menu book is turned over by Elysia slowly.
‘All right, we’ll take that.’ Elysia muttered to Vanessa before putting her lovely cat on the sofa right beside her.
“Miss waitress, I would like to order this, this, and this… this too.” Elysia pointed out the picture in the menu book to the waitress what she wanted to order.
The waitress actually looked at Elysia with a strange and amazing look. She had just seen a guest asking her pet to choose a menu to order, and this lovely white cat was able to pick it up with enthusiasm.
“Fufu… Your pet is a really smart cat, young lady.”
The waitress gave a compliment while writing the order that the guest had chosen earlier. She did not think any further considering that the lineage of spirit beasts with intelligence does exist among humans, it’s just that the numbers are quite rare.
“Yes, she’s so smart and a good girl.” Elysia smiled while stroking Vanessa who was sitting next to her.
The waitress also smiled at Elysia’s and this cute white cat’s smile, which started purring when being stroked.
“Very well, your dish will be ready soon. Please wait for a moment.” The waitress said and hurried away from there to carry out her duties.
Meanwhile, Elysia leaned back on the sofa before looking out the window then all around her while continuing to gently stroke Vanessa’s fur.
‘This place is so crowded and noisy, is it rush hour now?’ Elysia wondered in her mind.
‘That may be true. Because now could be lunchtime for them. Maybe this is a great place for a cheap price, and if the food is nice then everything is complete!’ Elena answered cheerfully.
‘Sister Elena, do you want to try the dishes here?’ Elysia asked with a hint of curiosity.
‘Eh? I am good. I don’t need food and drink.’
‘But haven’t you… Never tasted anything with your tongue all this time? Now you can use it to taste a dish, aren’t you curious about the culinary taste of the mortal world?’
Elysia tries to bait Elena with culinary temptations. She cares about Elena because she never eats or drinks, Elysia tries to offer Elena to use her body with the spirit exchange technique they have mastered so that Elena can enjoy the dishes later.
‘It’s easy for me right now. Since we are stranded in this world and I can communicate with you, I can do many things and one of them is to share all of our senses. So, you can still enjoy the dishes you ordered and I can taste them from here too.’ Elena smiled kindly knowing what Elysia meant by that.
‘Well… if you say so.’ Elysia did not go into this topic further as she knew Elena’s words could be done easily if she wanted to.
She also knows that Elena who is in her Soul Realm can already do some things that she has never tried before, such as seeing things from the third point of view of her body while her spirit and consciousness were still there.
After that, they chatted lightly about the past and about life while waiting for the waitress to bring their ordered dishes.
While Elysia and Elena were chatting lightly in their minds, two strange people who were quite suspicious were looking here and there as if they were looking for something.
