Chapter 207
Chapter 207
Tsukasa thought to go to the dungeon right away after he walked out of the guild, but he thought to get some lunches before he went on his first adventure. Frankly, some people might doubt whether he wanted to go on his first adventure or not since he stopped in many places before even starting, but he wanted to be fully prepared, considering it was his first time. He was thinking of getting something to eat since he might stay in the dungeon until late.
Tsukasa had deactivated his Trackless Step and tried to find the most delicious smell around the neighborhood. He found the place, but suddenly he felt something similar. The gaze that he felt in the arena before, he felt it again. However, this time, it was more subtle, and it was hard for him to notice. Still, he also felt some difference since that gaze was quite different, and the scent he smelled from the person who gazed into him was also quite different.
Tsukasa tried to ignore it, but suddenly a girl seemed to deliberately fall in his direction.
“Ah!”
“…”
If this was a normal gentleman, that man would catch the girl and ask, “Are you alright?” Before they developed into a deeper relationship and they might even entangle each other.
However, Tsukasa knew the girl’s plan, and it wasn’t his first time meeting such a situation, so he just dodged the girl and walked toward a pub with a delicious smell inside.
‘Hostess of Fertility, huh?’
On the other hand, the girl was stunned while lying on the ground before she got up. She felt annoyed and scolded Tsukasa. “Hey, why did you not save me?! Shouldn’t you as a gentleman catch me and ask me whether I am alright or not?”
Tsukasa only rolled his eyes and ignored the girl before he walked into the Hostess of Fertility. The pub might seem closed, but there was no harm in asking, so he decided to ask.
“Hey! Hey! Wait a moment, are you going to the Hostess of Fertility? I am the waitress there! Let me guide you!”
Tsukasa halted his steps and looked at the girl. While he must admit the girl was quite beautiful, he had seen many beauties in this world, and compared to those beauties, he must admit, there was a strange charm around this girl.
‘It is as if she isn’t herself? Disguise?’
Well, it had nothing to do with him.
“Really?”
“Of course! You’re an adventurer, right? Are you going to get lunch or something?” The girl asked.
“Yes, I plan to stay there late, so I thought I’d get a lunch box here. Is it possible?” Tsukasa asked.
“No,” the girl said with a smile.
“…”
Tsukasa blinked his eyes and said, “Money isn’t a problem, though.”
“It isn’t a matter of money or not, but in the morning, we’re on the preparation and resting,” the girl said, but then she looked at him and asked, “But why here? Aren’t there many places that sell food?”
“My sense of smell is good. This place has the most delicious smell among the stores nearby,” Tsukasa said.
“Hey, you said something nice. If you are okay with the breakfast of the employee, I can make it for you.”
Suddenly someone interrupted them. The two turned and saw a muscular woman dressed in a blue uniform and an apron.
‘So powerful…’
His lips twitched since this woman wasn’t even lost to Gareth.
“Mama Mia, don’t interrupt us.” The girl pouted when the dwarf woman interrupted them.
“Okay, okay.” The woman, Mia Grand, only shrugged her shoulders and walked back into the pub.
“So I can get my lunch, right?” Tsukasa asked the girl.
The girl pouted again when she heard his words, but she nodded and asked, “Okay, everything is 1,000 valis. Is that okay?”
“Sure.” His net worth was quite nice in this world, so he didn’t lack money.
When the girl received the money, she entered and said, “Come in. It might take a while to prepare your lunch box.”
Tsukasa didn’t reject and entered the pub. When he entered, he could see a few people in the kitchen area, washing the dishes. He could see them staring at him suspiciously, but it was normal since he covered his face with a hoodie and a mask that covered half of the bottom part of his face.
The girl talked for a while with Mia before she walked into Tsukasa again. “Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Syr Flova. You can call me Syr.”
“My name is Kugayama Tsukasa. You can call me Tsukasa.” Tsukasa didn’t mind introducing himself to this cute girl.
“Oh! Are you from the Far East? That’s so far!” Syr seemed surprised, causing her silver-haired ponytail to sway around.
‘Far East?’ Tsukasa was confused, but he didn’t show it on his face and just nodded while looking at the pub curiously.
The pub was quite spacious with many tables and chairs, but since it was still in the morning, it was closed, so the chairs were put on top of the table, making it easier to clean up the area.
It wasn’t his first time coming to the pub, especially when there was a pub in the hotel where he stayed with Demeter last time, but while this place was smaller, there was something that made this place seem better somehow.
Well, in his case, it was probably because there were many cute girls in this place.
“Tsukasa-kun, why did you wear a hoodie and a mask like this? Isn’t it hard to breathe like this?” Syr asked curiously.
“…You want to see my face?” Tsukasa asked.
“Ah? Do you have a scar on your face?” Syr asked worriedly, causing the people who had been listening to their conversation to also look at him with concern.
“….”
Tsukasa was in silence for a moment and shook his head. “It isn’t like that, but well… don’t be surprised, alright?”
“Okay, I am not going to be surprised.” Syr nodded and didn’t think she would be surprised, especially when the appearance of the mortal, but this made her become curious about him. “So just take off your hoodie and mask, alright?”
“I’ll take them off, but after I receive my lunch,” Tsukasa said plainly.
Syr became even more curious and just hurried Mia to prepare the lunch box for Tsukasa.
Mia only felt annoyed, but she didn’t say anything, only thought her goddess had started her bad hobby again.
“Here, you can take off your mask and hoodie now, right?”
Tsukasa received the lunch box from Syr and put it in his bag. “Thanks.” Saying that, he took off his mask and hoodie, causing all the people who had been watching him, stunned in a place.
They were in a daze and couldn’t look away. Even if they wanted to look away, they felt there was gravity that pulled them.
Tsukasa had become a star, the brightest one in this dim pub. He then put on his mask and hoodie again before he walked away, and before long, everyone had also awoken.
Mia smiled bitterly and awoke quickly since she was the strongest and had been part of the Familia of the most beautiful goddess in the past, so after a momentary daze, she awoke. However, when her employees were different, she felt regret since she could see they were in a daze. Still, she understood the reason now why Tsukasa had been wearing his mask and hoodie,
On the other hand, Syr blinked her eyes for a moment and felt it was better to see him in her real appearance since, that way, she could just bring him to the hotel. Still, she quickly ran out and shouted, “Tsukasa, don’t forget to visit at night!”
“If I have time.”
This time, Tsukasa decided to enter the dungeon for real. As for the cute girls on the Hostess of Fertility, it was better to forget it since he didn’t come to this world to seduce girls.
Really.
Please believe in him.
