Chapter 482 I Definitely Won’t Finish It!
Sally, Young Mistress of the Brewster Family, 24 years of age, 7th-tier magic caster. Her looks… are passable. Of course, she’s still lacking a bit compared to me. After Amy left with Ugly Duckling in her arms, Blour began to surreptitiously assess Sally.
He had read many files on Sally, all of which had been thrust upon him by Yngwie. The files were so detailed that they contained information on the time when seven-year-old Sally had fallen into a lake when fishing with Princess Irina. It appeared that the Baibilly Family had expended a lot of effort to get their hands on this information.
I’m not here to get into a relationship. Life is so short already; I can’t be wasting time on relationships. I have to dedicate myself to freeing the entire elven race. Blour looked at Sally with a smile as the thought to himself, I wonder what Yngwie will think if he knew that I was here to recruit Sally for my cause.
After a long wait, an open seat was finally made available for Blour. However, he hesitated momentarily at the sight of the three sinister-looking demons at the same table.
“Let’s wait for a while longer, Madam Shirley. I’m sure two seats will open up soon.” Constantine immediately cut in at the sight of the three demons. He didn’t want to see such a beautiful maiden dining with three sinister demons. Furthermore, the demons had just sat down, and had yet to place their orders. If Blour were to sit there, then he wouldn’t have a chance to dine with her at the same table.
Yabemiya could also see the hesitation on Blour’s face. It was normal for women to have second thoughts like this, so she offered a comforting smile as she said, “You can wait a while longer for a new seat to open up.”
“No need; I’ll sit there.” Blour strode straight toward the three demons and sat down at the same table as them.
Constantine opened his mouth to voice his objection, but he could only heave a resigned sigh inside as Blour had already settled into his seat. This was the first time that he had been rejected by a woman, and the feeling of loss was quite a bitter one.
Madam Shirley must be trying to test me! I can’t just give up like this! The fire soon reignited in Constantine’s belly, and he quickly strode over to an empty seat at Blour’s table before sitting down.
The three demons turned to look at Blour in unison. They wore suits of tattered black armor over their burly bodies and put on a menacing display.
In response, Blour looked back at them with a calm expression and no fear whatsoever.
The three demons looked away with slightly disappointed expressions. One of them raised a hand, and said, “I want three roujiamos and one braised chicken and rice.”
“I’ll have the same,” the other two demons chimed in at the same time immediately.
“Sure, please wait a moment.” Yabemiya nodded with a smile before turning to Blour. “What would you like?”
“I’ll have a look at the menu first.” Blour nodded in response. He had a good first impression of this half-dragon girl with a bubbly smile, but he was super picky with his food, so he had to choose carefully.
Men also needed to take care of themselves. Otherwise, their beauty would fade over time. One of the most important things to Blour was to maintain his figure, so he paid a lot of attention to his daily caloric and macronutrient intake. Even when eating rice, he had to measure it down to the very last grain, and refused to eat even one grain more than his daily allotment.
I heard that human food is quite greasy, so it looks like I’ll just have to order something as a token, then eat again when I get back. Blour was quite skeptical as he opened the menu, but his eyes immediately lit up at the sight of the dishes within.
All of the dishes on the menu had accompanying images, which were all extremely life-like, as if they were the actual thing.
What was even more surprising to him was that even though it was his first time seeing those dishes, he was still salivating involuntarily. The rainbow-like Yangzhou fried rice, the braised chicken covered in rich savory juices, the soft and white tofu pudding… All of the dishes looked extremely alluring.
All types of delectable aromas wafted through the air. Blour had only had two little fruits for breakfast in the morning, and he suddenly felt as if his stomach were rumbling as he looked at those images.
No! No! I can’t lose myself just over a few images. Perhaps the actual dishes won’t look anything like the images! Besides, human food definitely won’t taste good to us elves. Blour was still trying to resist with all his might. He raised a hand with a smile on his face, and said to the approaching Yabemiya, “Which dish would be the most suitable for elves? I like dishes that are a bit more plain and not as intense in flavor.”
“All of our dishes are very delicious, but if you’re looking for one that doesn’t have a very strong flavor, then I’d recommend the Yangzhou fried rice or braised chicken and rice for the main dish, and tofu pudding or ice cream for dessert. Those are all dishes with more subtle flavors.” Yabemiya was giving an introduction based on what Sally’s favorite dishes were.
“Then I’ll get a Yangzhou fried rice.” Blour contemplated momentarily before making up his mind. The braised chicken and rice looked a little greasy.
“Big Sister Shirley, the rainbow fried rice is super delicious. Just one serving won’t be enough.” Amy made her way over to Blour’s table again, and was looking up at him with an earnest expression.
“I don’t have a very big appetite, so I doubt I’ll even be able to finish one serving.” Blour shook his head in response. Looking at the portion size in the image, he estimated that he could only eat about half a portion; even one extra grain of rice would be unacceptable.
“Really? I’ve never seen a customer not finish the dish.” Amy looked up at Blour with skepticism written all over her little face.
“Just you watch, Little Amy, I definitely won’t finish the dish! If I do, I’ll get fat, and that’s unacceptable.” Blour made a solemn promise to Amy. He had to show this little girl his conviction and determination. He was not going to let some human food derail his dreams and pursuits.

“Alright, I’ll be watching, then. I’m sure you’ll definitely finish the entire dish.” Amy nodded with an adamant expression. She was super confident in her father’s food.
“One Yangzhou fried rice, coming right up.” Yabemiya nodded before turning toward the kitchen.
Blour looked around him and was slightly surprised to find that the restaurant was quite peaceful. He had thought that in a restaurant with so many customers hailing from diverse backgrounds, there would be frequent banter and altercations. However, the situation was the exact opposite of his expectations. All of the customers were focused on enjoying their meals, and even those who were familiar with each other were speaking in hushed tones. No one was raising their voice, and there certainly weren’t any altercations.
As for the three demons sitting at the same table as him, they were discussing in whispers where they were going to take their midday nap. It was the first time that Blour had ever seen demons speak in such quiet voices.
“Here’s your Yangzhou fried rice; enjoy.” Yabemiya placed a Yangzhou fried rice in front of Blour with a smile on her face.
