Act One Hundred and Seven. The life of the common people

Elise. Sophinet, the manager of Torento's most prestigious clothing store "Afternoon Tea Party", is extremely elegant in terms of taste in clothing and style of doing things, worthy of the reputation of her century-old store, and she is even more touching, filled with an aura of everyone's beauty.

But it's a man.

The shawl's long hair hangs down behind him, a pair of bright eyes seem to have rippling water, delicate and fair skin, and slender and soft limbs, which is definitely the standard appearance of men's dream lovers.

But it's a man.

"Uh, you're from Torento?"

Reiner remembered that a week earlier, when he had led his students to Torudo for the first mock test of the magic test, he and Claire had gone to the city's clothing store to buy a few small dresses, and since they needed to be handmade, they agreed to pick them up a week later.

It's just that Reiner thought that the other party was just joking, but he didn't expect it to be delivered to the door.

On the table next to the couch were a couple of flat boxes, apparently dresses made for Claire.

"That's right, in fact, I came here last night, but I thought it wouldn't be polite to bother me late at night, so I rested for the night and only came here today."

Elise said in an impeccable tone, and with the neat and tidy dress she was wearing now, she looked like a gentleman.

"Mr. Ian Gray, I shouldn't have disturbed your research, did I?"

"No, I'm just going to lunch."

Reiner thought about it, the other party came all the way from afar, how could he have to entertain him well, he couldn't just let him turn around and go back, so he invited.

Sofinite ...... Sir, would you like to have lunch with me? ”

"This ...... I'm so scared to be able to have lunch with Mr. Ian Gray, do I really have the qualifications? ”

For the first time, Elise had a flustered look on his face, as if he were facing the concubine of a tyrannical king, and he said hesitantly, full of unconfidence.

"Well, that's an exaggeration."

A drop of cold sweat broke out on Reiner's forehead, although it is a very cool thing to be surrounded by fans, but if the opposite is a man, and it is also a women's clothing boss, then it is a little unsure of what expression to use to face it.

"Let's talk as we go."

After thinking about it, he didn't dig deeper, and Reiner took Elise to the cafeteria of Crescent Academy, it was time for the students to have lunch, and most of the students gathered in the cafeteria.

Unless Reiner is too busy to ask Madame Freya to help prepare food, he eats in the cafeteria like the other students, partly because he wants to get to know the students better, and partly because the food in the cafeteria itself is not bad.

After getting Elise to tie her hair back up, Reiner walked into the cafeteria with him, and the students were already surprised by the headmaster, but when they saw Elise behind him, they couldn't help but talk.

"Who is that person, so handsome." "Looks like a nobleman somewhere?" "No, I still think the principal is more handsome, this person always feels like a girl." "Could it be that these two people actually have some ulterior ......" "That person seems to be staring at this side all the time, is he a pervert?"

Elise didn't pay any attention to the chatter, he looked around like a curious child, his eyes wandering over the girls' sailor suits.

"Are these dresses the school uniforms you talked about, Mr. Ian Gray?"

Elise said excitedly, and couldn't help but glance at the dresses again.

To him, these girls were just clothes racks, and Elise's real attention was entirely on the skirts.

"That's right, this is something that one of my students and I designed and modified, and if I have time in the afternoon, I can ask her to come and talk to you."

Reiner said, leading Elise to the cafeteria window, where the alchemical creature of Mune was acting as a cafeteria aunt, just tell it what food you want, and it will be ready for you exactly what.

The alchemical creature is not humanoid but more like a machine, with metal arms moving back and forth to serve food for the students.

Reiner asked for a boiled potato, green bean bolognese, smoked ribs, a glass of apple juice, and Elise took just a few slices of white bread and a vegetable bacon salad, and a small piece of butter.

The two of them chose an empty table and sat down, and as soon as they sat down, Elise said with some joy.

"I haven't been to this type of cafeteria for three years since I graduated from school, and I really miss it."

Elise elegantly spread the butter evenly on the bread with her knife and nibbled on it in small bites, like a hamster.

Reiner didn't pay so much attention to table manners, peeled the hot potatoes, swallowed them with the meat sauce, and took a bite of the tender and juicy ribs, full of happiness.

"Watching you eat really feels like I've got a little more of an appetite too."

Elise smiled and took the cherry tomatoes from the salad with a fork and put them in her mouth.

"Sorry, I just finished the experiment in the morning, and I'm so hungry."

Reiner peeled another potato, this time dipping it in a corner of the plate with salt and a pitiful amount of pepper, and took a bite of it in half.

He liked it very much, and he only had to cook the potatoes in salted water and eat them with a variety of sauces, even if it was simply salted, and he used it to satisfy his cravings as a child.

It's just that in this world, this kind of eating aristocracy is not welcome, because this is the way farmers and small traders eat, but Reiner doesn't care so much, as long as it is delicious.

"Do you want one?"

Reiner looked at the food on Elise's plate, it really couldn't be considered the amount of food that an adult man should have, I don't know if it was all he reserved in front of Reiner, but it always made Reiner, who believed in having enough to eat, look uncomfortable.

"Me, what's so embarrassing about this?"

Elise hurriedly refused, how dare he eat the things of his idols, and the etiquette since childhood also told him that he could not eat food from other people's plates.

But Reiner had already peeled the third potato, dipped it in the meat sauce and put it on Elise's plate.

"It's okay, I'll ask you."

Looking at Reiner's sincere eyes, Elise was embarrassed to refuse, he looked at the steaming potatoes stained with meat sauce, carefully cut them with a knife, and inserted a small bite into his mouth.

The subtle saltiness spreads with the characteristic freshness of the potato, which is further elevated to an indescribable level by the bolognese, and although the potato is not much less than the expensive delicacies that Elise has eaten in the past, it contains a certain novel taste experience.

He had eaten potatoes like this, and this common way of eating made Elise feel open the door to a new world.
