Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master

Chapter 151 Meeting The Dragon Diner's Owner

?

After paying their bill, Alex and the kids left the restaurant. 

But before they left, Alex made sure to ask Chichi where he could find the owners of Dragon Diner. 

Walking out of Riveria restaurant, Alex and the kids headed to the stables where Ferri and Blaze are resting.

By the way, Alex also ordered food for them earlier so while they are eating inside, Ferri and Blaze are also doing the same.

When they arrive at the stable, Ferri and Blaze are also done eating.

Feeling the presence of Alex and the kids approaching, the two monsters already got while looking in the direction where Alex and the kids are coming from.

When Alex saw the two, he waved and said, "Hey, Ferri and Blaze, did you guys like the food?

Ferri nodded humanely and barked, "Woof, woof!"

On the other hand, Blaze looks nonchalant as he nodded indifferently. 

"Well, that's good." Alex said, "Then let's get out of here. We still have somewhere we need to go right now."

Saying that, Alex turned around and left with the kids following closely. 

Hurriedly, Ferri and Blaze also caught up with them and they once again walked around the street.

Eyes gathered in their direction once again.

Not only because their group has two huge monsters but mostly because of Alex's Charisma. 

Anyway, ignoring them, Alex led the way and they soon appeared at the east gate of River City.

The reason why Alex came here is because Chichi told him that the owners of Dragon Diner are actually living outside the city.

Outside the city, Alex and his group walked around for a while before arriving on an empty plains.

Looking around, Alex muttered, "Hmm, I wonder where's that place Chichi was talking about?"

"She said that I will find a giant boulder in the plains but… where the hell is it?"

Alex continued looking around with everyone and after a couple of minutes, they finally saw the giant boulder that Chichi told them about.

The boulder was hidden behind a few trees that are just near the plains.

"Now that we found the boulder, it will be easy to find their place. We just have to continue walking straight from here and we'll gradually get there."

Saying that, Alex turned to the kids and said, "You guys should climb back up to Ferri's back. It might take a while before we arrive at our destination."

"Okay!"

The kids obediently listened to Alex and climbed up and sat on Ferri' back.

Once everything was settled, everyone continued moving.

After walking for a while, they already left the plains and are now walking into the woods.

Maybe it's because of Ferri and Blaze's presence, but there are almost no monsters that can be seen as they walk.

Noticing that, Alex said, "It seems like the monsters that live here are only weak ones, huh."

Not putting much thought to it, Alex and his group continued heading deeper into the woods.

Finally, after they walked for almost 20 minutes, they finally saw a clearing inside the woods with a medium-sized wooden hut in the middle.

A smile was immediately plastered on Alex's face when he saw that.

"This is it! We're here at the hut that Chichi mentioned!"

Happily, Alex took a step forward, wanting to go near the hut.

But when his feet touched the ground, arrows suddenly shot out some trees on his left and right side, almost hitting him.

Whoosh!

Pak!

The arrows that missed just passed by Alex and hit a tree on the other side.

Fortunately, Ferri, Blaze, and the kids were behind him and were outside the range of the arrows.

After being surprised by the trap arrows, Alex immediately went on alert and focused his eyes on the hut ahead.

"Is there anyone there? Please come out, we come in peace!"

Alex shouted, trying to make someone come out so he can talk to them.

A few seconds passed with no one saying anything, the door of the wooden hut slowly opened and the figure of a woman with red hair showed herself.

"Who are you?! What are you doing in this place?!"

With a frown and a feisty look on her face, the red-haired woman asked in a loud voice.

Seeing someone come out, Alex heaved a sigh of relief.

Then he organized his thoughts first and said, "Uhm, my name is Alex. Last time, I went to your restaurant and was lucky enough to get a skill after eating dragon meat."

The red-haired girl's face changed when she heard Alex's words.

"What?! Are you telling the truth?!"

She asked, immediately dropping her vigilance and hurriedly tried to get near Alex. 

The red-haired woman stopped just a few inches away from Alex and repeated her question. 

"Hey, answer me, are those words you just said true?"

Nodding his head, Alex casually said, "Yes. Last time when I went to Dragon Diner, I managed to acquire a dragon's skill after eating."

"Back then, Chichi said that she will call you but because I didn't want to be bothered by strangers, I decided to slip away before you arrived."

"Ah, yes, yes, that's right, I remember you. We even tried to catch up to you until the city gate but we weren't lucky." 

The red-haired woman nodded, remembering that day.

Shaking her head, she looked at Alex and said, "My name is Paula, one of the owners of Dragon Diner and also the chef."

She stretched out her hand which Alex caught and shook.

"As I already said, my name is Alex."

Once the introductions were done, Paula invited Alex inside the hut.

"Let's go inside our house first, it's a bit weird to just stand here and talk."

Alex nodded.

"By the way, here behind me are my travel companions."

Hearing Alex's words, Paula paused for a moment and only then did she realize the existence of a few kids and teo huge monsters just behind Alex.

Earlier, she was too excited with Alex that everything except Alex just seems to have disappeared.

Now that she got a good look, Paula was surprised.

"This… are they both Boss-class monsters?" She murmured as she looked at Ferri and Blaze.

Alex turned his head to Ferri, Blaze, and the kids and started introducing them.

"Ferri and Blaze, they are my 'contracted monsters'. And here are Angelica, Joel, Jojo, and Joey. They are kids that aren't related to me by blood but I consider them as my siblings."

Paula turned her eyes to the kids and saw that there was nothing special about them.

But since Alex said that he considers them as his siblings, Paula was friendly to all of them.

"Hello, sorry,  I didn't notice you just now. Anyway, please enter inside our house so we can continue our talk there."

"Okay, let's go."

With Paula's invitation, Alex and the kids went inside the wooden house.

As for Ferri and Blaze, they were both left outside since they are both too big. 

Anyway, when everyone entered the wooden hut, they were surprised by the interior of the house.

"Wow, I didn't expect that such a simple looking wooden hut actually looks so… grand inside!"

Alex commented as he took a look around the place.

On the outside, the wooden hut actually looks like it's been through countless storms and survived for a few decades already. 

Surprisingly, the inside is pristine clean and everything looks new!

The furniture, decorations, even the walls, floor, and ceiling all look to be in good condition!

That's why Alex was really surprised.

Suddenly, he thought, 'It would be a good idea if I also turned my house on Earth into something like this!'

Alex immediately decided to turn his house into something similar to this wooden hut.

It's a good disguise to keep the thieves away.

While thinking of random things like that, Paula let Alex sit down on the sofa with the kids.

"Here, you guys sit here for a bit. I will go grab some drinks first before we talk."

After saying that, Paula went to the kitchen for a bit and came back with a bottle of fruit juice and a couple of glasses.

Putting it down on the table, Paula sat down on the sofa opposite of Alex and looked at him with serious eyes.

Feeling the scorching gaze of Paula, Alex also turned his head at her and looked straight into her eyes.

Then he said, "Now that we're all seated, let's get down to the main topic."

Narrowing his eyes, Alex asked, "What does the owners of Dragon Diner need from someone who acquired a dragon skill?"

Saying that, a serious but curious expression appeared on Alex's face.

Paula remained silent for a while before she sighed and started talking.

"Hais~ First, let me introduce myself."

Suddenly, the aura around Paula changed to one filled with dignity. 

Like a strong warrior with noble blood running on her body.

"I am Paula Leonel, daughter of Borong Leonel!"

Boom!
