“Slurp.”

The smooth and slippery vermicelli was slurped into Mag’s mouth. The spicy juices coupled with its bouncy texture created a heavenly combo!

When eating grilled fish, Mag could make do without other secondary ingredients, but mung bean starch cellophane noodles were a must. To him, it was just as important as the grilled fish.

Amy’s eyes lit up upon seeing that, and she wheedled, “Father, what’s that bouncy stuff? I want it too!”

“These are cellophane noodles. They’re very delicious as well.” Mag placed a couple of strands of noodles into Amy’s bowl with a smile.

Amy picked up a noodle with her chopsticks, and blew on it carefully before emulating Mag, slurping it into her mouth. She chewed happily, nodding with elation as she said, “Cellophane noodles really are super delicious, just as delicious as fish.”

Even though there was a slightly awkward interlude, the meal still concluded amid a joyful atmosphere. Sally and Yabemiya were covered in sweat, and they each downed a glass of iced water before heaving sighs of contentment. The awkwardness from before had been completely forgotten by them.

“Father, can I keep this fishbone? I want to show it to Daphne.” Amy looked up at Mag with anticipation in her eyes.

“Of course you can. During your rest days, you can invite your little friends here if you like. I’ll cook delicious grilled fish for all of you.” Mag nodded with a smile. That Daphne seemed to be very close with Amy, and when he thought about it, he realized that Amy had never invited any of her friends over.

“Can I really do that? Daphne loves fish, and Jessica hasn’t even had fish before. Can I invite them over as well?” Amy’s eyes immediately lit up.

“Of course. You can invite anyone you want.” Mag nodded with a smile.

“Yay! Father, you’re the best.” Amy latched onto Mag’s hand and jumped up and down with joy.

Sally and Yabemiya looked at their interaction with gentle smiles on their faces. Amy really was lucky to have such a doting father.

“I’ll help you pack up the fishbones.” Mag stood up, and carefully plucked the fishbones out of the steel dish with his chopsticks. That fish only had a spine, as well as a series of large bones to maintain its body’s structural integrity. The flesh had been completely cleaned off the bones by the four of them during the meal, so it only had to be rinsed clean with some water.

“Such a delicious fish aroma; could it be that the new dish Mag is releasing tonight is related to fish?”

“Not only can I smell fish, there’s also a rich spicy scent in the air. I’m already salivating!”

“I really like spicy food as well. I thought from Mag’s other dishes that he wasn’t into cooking spicy food, but it looks like I’m in luck.”

Customers began to flood in as the restaurant doors were opened again. Soon, they detected the delicious scent wafting through the air, and they began to discuss spiritedly among themselves.

“The new dish tonight does indeed have something to do with fish, but I’ll reveal the specific dish tonight.” Mag nodded with a mysterious smile.

“Father’s not home for dinner tonight, so I should be able to get away with sneaking out for a meal, right?” In the backyard of the city lord’s castle, Vivian had changed from her regal blue robes into a set of male clothing. Her gorgeous long hair was casually tied up with a strip of fabric, and she had stuck a mustache above her upper lip, transforming into a handsome young man.

After making sure that there was no one around, Vivian climbed onto the tree beside the wall of the courtyard, stepped onto the wall, and landed gently on the other side. Just like that, she made it out of the city lord’s castle. She glanced around nervously again before adopting a natural expression, and walking along the street.

There weren’t many pedestrians on the streets, so no one had noticed Vivian jumping over the city lord’s castle’s wall. She took a deep breath, and strolled toward the Aden Square in a leisurely manner.

“Eh? He’s…” On the second floor of a restaurant by the side of the street, Schonard sat in a booth in a set of lavish red robes. He swirled the wine in his glass as he looked out the window, upon which he caught sight of Vivian. He had seen her jump over the wall, and his eyes narrowed slightly in contemplation before his expression lit up as he murmured to himself, “Isn’t that Young Mistress Vivian? I was wondering what kind of burglar would dare to rob the city lord’s castle, but it turns out it’s just Young Mistress Vivian in male clothing.

“I wasn’t able to speak to her much during the banquet that was held a few days ago, so this is an opportunity for me. It’s about to become dark soon, so perhaps I would have the chance to escort Young Master Vivian home. Maybe the city lord will develop a good impression of me then, and I can show my father that I’m not just some spendthrift alcoholic.” Schonard put down his wineglass, and bade farewell to his group of shady friends before going downstairs.

Schonard’s father was an ambassador of the Roth Empire that had been sent to Chaos City. As such, he was able to participate in a banquet held in the city lord’s castle with his father, and it was love at first sight for him when he saw Young Mistress Vivian. However, they didn’t share any common interests, so their conversation went stale after exchanging just a few sentences.

He had been searching for information about Vivian for the past few days, but most of the people that he inquired advised him to give up. Young Mistress Vivian was the city lord’s prized jewel, and very rarely even left the castle, let alone interact with other men.

To think that she dares to disguise herself as a man and jump over the wall of the city lord’s castle; perhaps she has a wild side, after all. A smile appeared on Schonard’s face as he hid behind a tree and spied on Vivian from there. If he could have the city lord’s only daughter for himself, then his father would be forced to look at him in different light.

Is this the place? It looks really nice, and it’s so busy. Looks like all types of strange beings are forced to dine at the same table due to seat shortage… Vivian stopped outside Mamy Restaurant, and looked inside through the window. There was still a long line gathered straight down the center of the restaurant, and her brows furrowed slightly as she inspected the scenes unfolding within the restaurant. She didn’t discriminate against other races and species, but she was slightly mysophobic, so she didn’t really want to dine with unfamiliar beings at the same table, especially when among them were dwarves and orcs, who were certainly not renowned for their cleanliness.

Should I go in? Vivian was quite hesitant. All of a sudden, a customer exited the restaurant, and an irresistible aroma of spicy grilled fish wafted toward her before being cut off as the door automatically closed.

“Gulp~”

Vivian gulped as her legs carried her almost involuntarily toward the restaurant. She laid her hand on the door handle, and even then, she was still saying to herself, “I’m not attracted by the fish. It’s just that Uncle Robert says that it would be a shame for this restaurant to fall into disrepute, so I’m just here to do some investigating.”

So she really did come out to have a good meal. That’s a good thing; I’ll be able to show her my gentlemanly side in the restaurant. A confident smile appeared on Schonard’s face as he stood outside his restaurant. He adjusted his collar before opening the door, and entering the restaurant.
