Chapter 383: Gluttony Trio
The waitress lady led the customer to a private middle-class party room on the third floor. On the way there, she and Elena talked for a moment about that cafe restaurant.
'Well, this place is pretty aesthetic, Ely. Whoever founded this place must have a pretty high view of art. Look at every carving on those walls and ceilings. Then, the beautiful decoration over there. Somehow, I've felt the same vibes as this place, but when we were still on Earth.' Elena pointed at a few spots, then something flashed in her head.
'A place that has a similar vibe? Hmm, I thought this place seemed to have the hallmarks of European buildings.' Elysia thought for a moment to recall the moment of her business visit abroad.
'Yes! Europe, or rather Paris. Elluin Paeris, huh... Somehow I can read this as the Elf in Paris, fufu.' Elena dropped her fist onto her palm as she realized it.
'Oh look, looks like we've arrived. You can order all the dishes in the menu book and be done with it, Ely. Our little white cat seems to have a pretty serious problem and wants to talk to you.' Elena gave a thoughtful suggestion.
'Mm, we'll do that once our Vann is full. She loves to eat and it will improve her mood. After that, I'm sure she can say whatever she wants to say more stably.' Elysia had similar thoughts. So, it was something she would do.
"This is your room, sir. Please come in." The San waitress lady opened the door and stood beside the entrance.
"Hmm." Elysia responded with a nod and walked in. She sat in one of the seats furthest from the entrance.
"Hmm." Elysia responded with a nod and walked into a restaurant dining room that looked elegant and comfortable.
A long table in the middle of the room was surrounded by eight soft sofas. A chandelier like an array of lanterns was right in the middle of the ceiling as a single light that created a peaceful feel.
The engraved concrete and wood walls also add artistic value that would probably amaze art connoisseurs. And it was just a cafe restaurant.
Elysia sat in one of the seats furthest from the entrance while looking intently at the room. She had an idea to make a version of Lavely Pizza with high artistic value in her mind.
"Excuse me, this is the menu book." The waitress lady put a menu book in front of the customer, then she took a note as if ready to write an order.
"No need to bother with this. I will order everything in this menu book. Please serve us the best." Elysia took the menu book and returned it to the waitress lady.
"Pardon? Ah-umm, please forgive me for asking, but do you have a membership card? Again, please forgive me for skipping to the basic question because I presumed you as a new visitor." The waitress lady became flustered in an instant.
She did know that this customer would order many dishes. Still, she ultimately didn't expect that it would be all the dishes available in the menu book!
A big party for only two!? Wait, that was one and a half, or maybe one and a quarter because the baby daughter and the cat couldn't count as one either. Nevertheless, how hungry was this pretty elf to need that amount of food?
"Membership card? I don't have it, so you don't make any mistakes. Then, what will happen if I don't have it?" Elysia waggled her hand to clarify.
"Ah, then... I need to request a deposit payment upfront for your order. Would you like to make a membership card, sir?" The waitress lady put the menu book and her notes into her Space Bag, then put on the attitude of a professional waitress.
"Not for now. Maybe next time." Elysia took out a small pouch containing a hundred platinum coins and placed it on the table. "This is the upfront payment. Is that enough for my order?"
"Excuse me, allow me to check it out." The waitress lady took the pouch and opened it.
The bluish-gray glint of the distinctive platinum metal gleamed and briefly dazzled her eyes. The waitress lady didn't need to think further to know the value of the upfront payment because she knew it was a hundred coins! So this seemingly casual visitor turned out to be a reasonably wealthy elf.
"This is more than enough, sir. Allow me to calculate the amount you need to-" The waitress lady gave a sweet smile. Still, she couldn't finish her sentence because the customer replied with a gesture for her to stop.
"It's okay, you can calculate the cost of my order later. You can tell me if it's less or more later when we've finished our lunch. Please prepare all my orders quickly and nicely." Elysia tried to calm the maid's enthusiasm.
"Alright, your order will be delivered immediately. Then, allow me to excuse myself." The waitress lady bowed respectfully, then left the room after receiving a response from the customer.
"Rhea, I used some of the coins stored in Nature Realm's armory crate. Is that okay?" Elysia told Rhea the source of the money right after she enveloped the entire room with her magic barrier.
"Hm, that's fine, master. Nature Realm is yours to own and that includes all its contents. You don't need to ask permission or tell me that. If you want to know... I'm sure my mother will throw at least ten thousand platinum coins to that waitress as the down payment as requested, hehe... My mother likes to surprise others." Rhea glanced up from Elysia's arms and chuckled at the thought of the past.
"Wow, the others in question must be a little overwhelmed then." Elysia stroked Rhea's head gently. She had thought that Rhea would be dissatisfied or something, then asked her not to touch anything in the Nature Realm.
"Mm-hmm, you can eat all you want, Vann." Elysia also stroked the white cat next to baby Rhea.
"En, thank you, master." Vanessa nodded and slightly anticipated the food.
Her master was considerate enough to invite her to eat first rather than make her talk before anything else. That way, she could control her emotions so as not to explode when talking about sensitive things.
Nell then revoked her invisible magic and sat down at the table with the tortoise. After that, Elysia and the others talked about some things that were actually just light and trivial matters, only for chit-chat.
A few moments later, Elysia could see several waitress ladies approaching with several serving trolleys. Thus, she reminded Nell then revoked her barrier.
*Knock* *Knock*
"Yes, come in." Elysia gave her permission just as the knock sounded.
"Excuse me, this is the first batch of your order. There are still two more to come soon."
One of the waitress ladies at the front came in and reported. She was the one who ordered her co-workers to arrange the dishes on the table.
"Good, make it periodically every 30 minutes." Elysia looked at the dishes on the table and decided.
The four-meter-long table was already full of dishes, so they needed to finish the current ones before another batch came, right?
"Understood." The waitress lady, who seemed to be the head maid, gave a polite response while ordering her co-workers to arrange the dishes on the table perfectly.
Once finished, all the waitresses left the private room because the customer refused to be accompanied in personal time with his baby daughter.
Elysia immediately re-established a soundproof and anti-peek barrier. Then spread her arms with a smile. "You can eat whatever you like. Don't forget the etiquette and go ahead."
Hearing that, Vanessa and Nell shamelessly devoured any dish that caught their eye, but all of it caught their attention. As for Gioragh, he also seemed to understand that his master also invited him to eat. Thus, the tortoise also joined the feast by following his senior cat.
Elysia, Elena, and Rhea just smiled slightly to see the little Goddess and the two beasts feasting happily.
"Would you like something to eat too, Rhea? I'll feed you." Elysia offered the baby in her lap while taking a dish similar to porridge or maybe cream soup.
"Ah, I can do that myself, master." Rhea felt it was a little strange to be fed.
"It's okay. You're my baby for a while, so let me take care of you. Hum, let's wear this so you don't mess yourself while eating." Elysia spread a soft white cloth then tied it around Rhea's neck. It covered Rhea's chest and clothes like a baby bib.
"I'm not a baby..." Rhea protested in a mosquito-like voice, but she didn't exactly refuse to be treated like a baby. Instead, she was just a little embarrassed.
"Okay, now say Aah~" Elysia tasted the chowder to check the temperature, then took another spoonful to feed Rhea.
"Aah~" Rhea complied and opened her mouth. A spoonful of food went into her mouth, and she was literally fed for the next few moments.
Meanwhile, Elena only chuckled to see Elysia's behavior and Rhea's expression. It was entirely like the mother and daughter. Elysia really did what she had said before.
After thirty minutes had passed, another batch came, and then the last one arrived thirty minutes after the previous batch.
Elysia and Rhea only ate moderately, but it was very different for Nell and the two beasts. These three little ones really became the gluttony trio that devoured all the dish.
