Chapter 13: Taking the Bait
β¦
If you want to say which restaurant is the most famous in Beishu Town, it must be Cass Restaurant.
Located at the southern end of Beishu Town, Kas Restaurant is built according to aristocratic standards, with elegant environment, spacious space, and a court chef invited from the royal capital, which is enough to make every customer who comes to dine here full of praise.
On the other hand, the consumption level is not affordable for ordinary people, and it is almost impossible to order two dishes and eat a meal without spending a few gold coins.
There is no shortage of customers in the restaurant, whether it is a wealthy merchant or an accompanying nobleman, as long as they pass through Beishu Town, there are almost no people who do not come to Kas to eat, comfortable, elegant, the food is delicious, and they can afford a few gold coins.
Today, Cass Restaurant welcomes several special customers...
"Master Reese, what kind of wind is blowing you!" A handsome middle-aged man in a dress greeted him with a smile.
The middle-aged man's name is Jeffrey, who was originally the housekeeper of the Reese family, and later when he joined the army to fight, he was slashed in the leg bone by a saber. After the war, he left the Grand Duke's Mansion and opened a Kas restaurant in Beishu Town.
Because when he was in the Grand Duke's Mansion, he had a good relationship, and after Jeffrey settled here, Rees came to visit him a lot, so when they met, they were familiar and cordial greetings.
"Come on, can't I come if it's okay?"
Reece laughed, pretending to be unhappy, went up and patted the butler on the shoulder, then leaned close to his ear and gave Jeffrey a wink,
"Jeff, do you see that silver-haired girl, she's the main guest tonight, you're good at wine and food, help me entertain her."
Jeffrey took a look, and immediately saw a cute girl like a snow elf, she was talking to the elf girl next to her in a whisper, looking here from time to time, as if talking about Reese.
"What a vision! Butβ" the butler looked at him teasingly, "don't you think she's a little smaller?" β
"......, damn it! Where do you think of it! That's my benefactor! Reece was a little angry,
"Damn, isn't there any other affection between men and women than love?"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'm just kidding. You can rest assured about the hospitality, and you will definitely let her enjoy the treatment of the Grand Duke! β
Squeezing an eyebrow at Reese, and just as Reese was about to explode, the butler put on a serious face and directed the servants of the restaurant to start entertaining the guests.
Reece twitched the corners of his mouth, a little unable to stand the funny character of this year-old friend, but in retrospect, it was precisely because of this characteristic that he became friends with the butler.
Thinking of this, Reese rubbed his cheeks and walked to the table with an elegant and calm smile.
"Hi ~ what are the beautiful ladies talking about?" Smiling, Reese pulled back from his chair and naturally cut to the nitty-gritty.
"Hmm... Captain, I'm a little curious..."It was the elf girl Emily who answered, she frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously, "Do you have any other sisters besides Alice?" β
"Ah, well, no, why do you ask?" Reese was asked, a little confused, he couldn't figure out why the topic had come to his sister.
"But Alice isn't married... Oh! That's right! I know! The blonde girl's face was full of surprise, "That man turned out to be Alice's fiancΓ©!" β
"Poof-" "Heh~" "Hahaha! "Meow Meow~"
The gang burst into laughter, and even 'Illya' curled the corners of her mouth into a smile, and her cat (cat?) He even rolled on the table with his stomach in his arms.
"Hey, hey~ Please, that person's name is Jeffrey, and he is called Jeff by Reese, and I have nothing to do with him..."
"Uh... This one... Miss Elijah, please don't pay attention to Jeffrey's words, he's joking. Reese reacted immediately when he heard them, and most of his conversation was overheard by Emily, who had long ears, which embarrassed him.
"Hell! My image!"
However, Lilian didn't care, she had no interest in men, so what was there to be embarrassed about. However, in order not to talk to death, she still replied softly: "Mr. Reese, I'm not angry, please don't care." β
"That's... That's goodβ" Reese scratched his head in embarrassment, and then flicked his trump card to change the subject, "I'll introduce Miss Elijah to these friends." β
Reese pointed at Alice and said, "This is Alice, the Terran mage, and my cousin. β
"Hey, little beauty, just call me Sister Alice, thank you for saving my teammates."
Alice, who was sitting on the side, waved her hand and grabbed Lilian's shoulder, with an intimate look.
"It's okay, it's a gesture."
"This is..."
"Emily, we've known each other just now!" The elf girl, who had always recognized life, was unusually generous, interrupted the surprised Reese, hugged Lilian's little arm from the other side, and smiled happily.
I don't know why, as soon as Emily saw Lillian, she felt that there was an indescribable kindness in her, which is why she took the initiative to talk to Lillian.
Seeing that Emily finished speaking, Reese pointed to the pale Carrey,
"You should have seen this guy with a dead face, a wounded man who was lying in the snow at that time, a swordsman; There's also a warrior named Jack, but he's going to the guild to hand over the mission first, and I'll introduce you to it when he arrives. β
"Thank you so much for your help, Miss Elijah, andβ" After thanking Lilian, Kerry's pale face turned blue and he stared at Reese unpleasantly, "What kind of introduction is that, Captain, what is a 'dead face'..."
"Alright, alright, our great benefactor hasn't introduced himself yet!" Alice, who had long been curious about Illya's identity, waved her hand impatiently and interrupted Kerry's words.
Because of Reese's exaggerated description, as well as everything he saw with his own eyes, everyone in the team was full of curiosity about this powerful Lori. So when Alice mentioned it, Kerry immediately shut his mouth and looked at Lillian with expectant eyes with everyone.
Feeling everyone's expectations, Lilian lowered her little head, her eyes drooped, pretending to be embarrassed, and said softly:
"Don't say that, I... I'm just passing by, not a benefactor. β
"What's the matter, although I was in a coma at the time, and I didn't look at Miss Eliya's heroic appearance, the strength of those two demonic beasts is obvious to all."
As soon as he heard that the 'benefactor' was so modest, Kerry immediately came out to 'fight the grievances', "If it weren't for your help, just a few of us, needless to say, would be able to save my life." β
"Yes, yes! Illya, you don't have to be modest, aren't we good friends? There is no need to be humble between good friends. Emily echoed with her elven theory.
"Well, then I'll accept your thanks, but I'm still not your benefactor... We... It's a friend. β
"Well said! It's a friend! Cheers! β
"Yes, yes! It's a friend, a good friend! β
"That's right, Elijah and Emily are best friends!"
"Hehe~"
The corners of Lilian's mouth curved, hooking a beautiful arc, and a faint red light flashed in her lowered eyes,
"The fish has been hooked..."
