Far south continent, the kingdom of Hutton, the royal capital of Ichrita.

At ten o'clock in the morning in the spring of April, the sky of the capital of Ichrite is dyed a soft blue, and the air is brighter and fresher in the scent of flowers.

Located on the east side of Ecirita College, it crosses two wide, neat streets and is full of shops and bustling with shops.

A small restaurant exudes a rich breakfast aroma, and the smell of oatmeal and cheese gently fills the air.

It is a two-story brown wood building, the sign of the shop is engraved with Hutton Kingdom "Cat Boss Restaurant", the roof is wide and naturally curved, and the eaves are far away, and whenever the breeze blows, the wind chimes under the eaves will sound a pleasant ringing.

Every now and then accompanied by a series of "jingle bells", the doors of the restaurant are pushed open, customers enter and exit, and the first floor is simply but cleverly divided into several areas, in addition to the counter at the entrance, there is also a passage to the back kitchen and the second floor.

At this time, the restaurant is not the peak time for breakfast, and the customers are scarce, but in the back kitchen, two women in aprons are preparing ingredients at the workbench, and leafy greens, fruits and various spices are neatly arranged.

Their cooperation is so tacit that they don't need words, on the one hand, the rhythm of knives dancing on the board, crisp and powerful; On the other side is the art of interweaving seasonings with ingredients.

Talia is in charge of cutting, each knife dropping just right, and the slices of vegetables are the same size, pushing them to the side.

Athana is in charge of blending and processing, which not only preserves the flavor of the ingredients themselves, but also gives them new life.

On this morning, Asina, as the vice president of the student council, did not have any official duties.

In the last semester of her third year, she has already completed all the credits of her courses and completed her graduation project, and she only needs time to apply for graduation.

Now she is the new head chef of Cat Boss's restaurant, and she politely declined the request of Ecerita College to stay on as a teacher, and she does not plan to continue her fourth year of study, and will officially become a disciple of Cat Boss after graduation.

During this time, she has become a rare best friend and partner with Miss Tata, who helps the cat boss look after the store.

Every time, Miss Tata will give her the most accurate evaluation and help her improve the dishes.

And most importantly, no matter how many meals she makes, Miss Tata can eat it.

There is no need to worry that she will be overfed, unable to continue to give herself instructions, and not worrying about wasting food.

So since she met Tata, Athana felt that her cooking skills had improved by leaps and bounds, and she began to cook for Tata day and night, and Tata was also very happy, and in order to speed up Asuna's cooking, she became her sous chef herself.

The only thing that worries Athana a little is whether Tata will eat too much.

Although Tata still doesn't look fatter at all, if he continues to eat like this, he may see Tata's small belly in the summer.

Talia is still preparing the ingredients in a series of skilled processes.

However, she paused suddenly.

The blade in her hand touched the cutting board silently, and she withdrew her gaze from the cut vegetables, and slowly raised her head to look at the side of the kitchen.

Outside the window, the spring sun fills the windowsill, and the leaves sway gently in the breeze.

“……”

Taria's eyes didn't seem to focus on the serene sight, but farther away, immersed in some deep thought.

Her face looked particularly confused at this moment, and her eyes shone with a complex light.

Athana noticed the change, stopped what she was doing, and looked at Talia with concern.

"Tata, what's wrong?"

Athana felt Tata suddenly feel like she had something on her mind.

Talia shook her head.

"Nothing, don't worry."

Actually, she didn't know if it was a delusion or a reality.

She always felt that somewhere in the world just now, a new great demon clan had appeared, and it was a guy who had something related to herself, which would make her as a demon royal family have such a strange feeling.

If you think about it carefully, the ruins of the Great Demon Clan's trial have been almost destroyed, and even if there are any remnants, I am afraid they will be controlled by humans.

It is impossible for people to allow a powerful demon to complete the experience and become a great demon.

Unless it is - and the demons she is familiar with survived, mixed with the human race, and recently found the opportunity to infiltrate the trial of the great demons, collected the last mark, and successfully became the great demons.

But no matter how she thought about it, Talia couldn't think of which demon would be.

A hundred years ago, not to mention the powerful demons, the gifted demons were almost dead.

Even if he becomes a great demon now, there is no other use except for unlocking the upper limit of his innate magic.

Because there is no demon king and ancestral land, he can't even get a title, so he can only become a "nameless big demon".

If you have to say, the Great Demon Clan also has a role, that is, it is worthy of being a descendant of the Demon King.

According to the tradition of the Demon Clan, the marriage contract of the Demon Royal Clan also needs to be at least the Great Demon Clan.

But whether it's a demon, a big demon, or a human, no matter who pursues her, she's not interested.

Now even if a new Great Demon Clan is born, it is still a Great Demon Clan related to her, and it is not specifically to propose a marriage contract to her, and finally make rumors in the Demon World fly.

She will always suddenly find that there was no demon kingdom a hundred years ago, and she has long been incognito, and the demon clan and the Northern Continent have nothing to do with her.

If anything, there are any regrets.

She was completely unaware of the whereabouts of her best friend, the guardian of Antanath.

Now when her life is better now, she always feels a little lonely because Antanas is not around.

"Tata, who are you thinking?"

Athana noticed that Tata had been a little absent-minded from the beginning, so she finished the work at hand before asking slowly.

"I remembered a close friend, and I lost touch with her for a long time."

Talia nodded and replied.

She now feels that Athana is also her friend, and it is hard to imagine that one day she will make friends with humans, treat each other sincerely, work together, live together, and chat together.

"Then you can ask Ranch to help you find someone, he is very good at this kind of civil commission."

Athana recalled that at the beginning of the new semester, the student council was without Lanchi and Hubertarian, and the workload increased a lot.

"Forget it."

Tata shook his head, Athana didn't know, it wasn't a civilian-level issue at all.

Antanas is an ancient demon clan who have lost contact with each other for a hundred years, and even Talia herself is unable to portray the specific appearance of Antanas.

You can't say to Lanchi, "When you go to the Northern Continent, you can help me bring back a big demon named Antanas", after he came back from his trip, he brought Antanas to the door of the store like a souvenir.

Neither does dreaming.

And she wasn't prepared at all, if Antanas suddenly saw that she had completely become a human being, living in friendship with humans, and living comfortably with humans, I'm afraid she would want to commit suicide.

Talia thought for a moment and continued to chop vegetables with peace of mind.

"By the way, Asuna, after a while, you have a half-term vacation, can I leave for a few days?"

Talia remembers that Ichrita College would have a seven-day midterm break every May and June, when Athana should be able to stay in the store every day, and Monast, the student council, would come to the store to help Athena.

"No problem, are you going on a trip?"

Athana nodded.

"No, I want to go back to Nanventina, there's something I've been thinking about, and I'm going to take a look at it."

When Talia heard Athana mention Lanchi, she couldn't help but think of the station at the border of Nanventina, when Hans, Lanchi's housekeeper, saw them off and said that Lanchi had once painted a picture, and it was a pity that she couldn't see it.

She became more and more curious about what kind of painting it was.

Boss Cat's restaurant has been on track lately, and next month there's a good opportunity for her to go back to Nanventina and take her to Wilford's house to see the Lanch's painting.

It has been updated/total arrears: 21/36
