Chapter 349: I’m Reserving This Entire Restaurant Tonight
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Looking into the restaurant from the outside, Vivian had thought that it would be a very loud and rowdy place. Only after going in did she discover to her surprise that it was actually rather quiet there. Aside from a few involuntary gasps of praise from customers as they enjoyed their meals, all of the conversations were in hushed tones.
Even orcs have learned to whisper? Vivian raised an eyebrow at the sight of two orcs conversing with one another in quiet voices. She had never seen that in any other restaurant before.
Furthermore, in this restaurant, there were orcs and elves sitting at the same table. Tensions had risen significantly between demons and dwarves as of late, but they were dining together in an almost shoulder-to-shoulder proximity here. Vivian had lived in Chaos City all her life, and she was struggling to believe her eyes. Just what had made all of the creatures here forget their differences?
However, her gaze was soon drawn to the large red fish on a steel platter on one of the dining tables. The rich spicy aroma combined perfectly with the delectable scent of the fish; it was the same aroma that she had caught a whiff of outside the restaurant.
Ever since she was little, her favorite food had always been fish. She detested having to pick out the small annoying fishbones, but that still didn’t hamper her love of fish.
However, despite having fish countless times in her life, she had never seen fish cooked in that manner before. The fish appeared to have been grilled to perfection, and had been drenched with delectable red juice then sprinkled with chilis, wild peppers, and spring onion.
She saw an orc put a morsel of fish meat into his mouth, upon which his eyes immediately widened as if he had tasted something incredible. His face also quickly turned from green to red, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to spit out the fish, but he simply couldn’t bring himself to do so. Thus, he swallowed the fish with a conflicted expression before heaving a content sigh.
After panting momentarily, the orc had another mouthful of fish. He was clearly unable to handle the spiciness, but simply couldn’t bear to spit out the fish, and his face was soon drenched in sweat. Even so, his chopsticks refused to stop, shoveling morsels of fish into his mouth one after another while his face was twisted with pain and pleasure.
“Gulp.”
Vivian gulped. She… was jealous of what an orc was eating? Even she found that to be unbelievable.
His table manners were absolutely horrible, but he was clearly thoroughly enjoying himself! He was completely immersed in the flavor of the dish; just what kind of flavor could captivate someone so thoroughly?
Also, the fish doesn’t appear to have any small fishbones? What was even more surprising to Vivian was that the orc didn’t even stop once to spit out any bones as he ate.
Right at that moment, a warm voice cut off Vivian’s train of thought. “Hi there, we have a seat open over there; you can have a seat there and make your order.”
Vivian turned to look at Yabemiya, upon which a hint of surprise appeared on her face. She wasn’t expecting to see a half-dragon waitress. That was something that she hadn’t seen for a long time in any restaurant in the Aden Square.
However, the half-dragon girl really was very beautiful. In particular, the smile on her face exuded a special type of charisma, which instantly lifted one’s mood. Furthermore, the dress she was wearing was also quite interesting. Vivian was wondering if it was a new style, and thought that she would have to shop for it next time with Luna.
Even though Yabemiya was already used to serving customers, she still couldn’t help but blush as she was scrutinized by a handsome young man. He also had a mustache like Mag did, but in Yabemiya’s eyes, she felt like Mag was more handsome, and more manly as well.
Vivian also realized that staring at Yamebiya was a little rude, so she turned away to look at a dwarf couple leaving the restaurant. There was only a fish skeleton left on their steel platter, and traces of red grease could be seen on the table and chairs, which made Vivian furrow her brows slightly.
Right at that moment, Sally quickly strode over to pack up the stove and platter before casually unleashing a water ball magic spell. The oil and grime on the table and chairs were instantly cleansed; her spell was countless times more effective than wiping down the surfaces with a rag.
Using a water-type elven magic caster to clean the tables? The boss here must be a genius! Vivian’s instantly lit up. She strode over, and sat down before running her finger along the surface of the table. There wasn’t even as much as a hint of residual water or grease that stained her finger as a result, and even with her mysophobic tendencies, she found the level of cleanliness impeccable. Even though it wasn’t a private booth, the service was still exemplary, and worthy of a five-star rating.
“I want that type of fish.” Vivian pointed at the grilled fish on a neighboring table.
“That’s our spicy grilled fish. Please have a look at the menu and choose the size of the fish, as well as the level of spiciness you would like.” Yabemiya smiled as she indicated toward the menu on the table.
“I can pick the size and spiciness?” Vivian was a little surprised as she picked up the menu. The leather exterior was very pleasant to the touch.
“No need to look at that; we’ll have one of everything. As for that fish, we’ll get the biggest and most delicious one,” a voice suddenly interjected before Vivian even had a chance to open the menu.
Schonard strode over to Vivian, and gave her a smile that he thought to be quite gentlemanly. “Greetings, brother. I feel like we have an affinity with one another, so let me pay for your meal today.”
A hint of displeasure flashed through Vivian’s eyes at the sight of Schonard, and she replied, “No thanks, I’ve got money.”
Isn’t that the guy that was harassing me during the banquet a few days ago? He’s always wearing those hideous red robes; what’s wrong with his fashion standards? She wasn’t expecting to meet him today, but she was in disguise, so he should not have been able to recognize her. With that in mind, Vivian remained quite calm and collected.
“There is no most delicious spiciness when it comes to the spicy grilled fish. It is a matter of personal preference, and is to be based on the individual customer’s spice tolerance.” Yabemiya smiled. She wasn’t very fond of this pompous rich boy, either.
Schonard’s expression stiffened upon being rejected by Vivian, and he was even more enraged by the retort delivered by this half-dragon waitress. However, he still had to keep his cool and maintain a gentlemanly facade in front of Vivian. As such, he looked around at the bustling tables, and said, “I’m reserving this entire restaurant tonight. Tell your boss to come out and evict everyone here; state a price, and I’ll deliver. I’d like to have some peace and quiet when I’m eating. Of course, you can stay with me, brother.”
