Chapter 274 - Extra Activities

Lith was surprised when Emilia kissed him so suddenly. He couldn’t understand how she got herself to do this.

Emilia on the other hand wasn’t feeling anything weird or off about her actions.

In the Angel Continent, elders kissed the young ones on their cheeks or forehead and it was completely normal. They did it to show their affection, love, and care that they had towards the young ones.

Emilia and Lith were close and she thought of herself as his caretaker and also his elder. She felt it was fine to kiss him as he wasn’t any stranger and rather, someone close to her.

But yes, there was no need to do such a thing since even if they didn’t get the discount, it wasn’t like they were losing too much money. They both were extremely wealthy and they surely could afford things even without the discount.

Emilia didn’t know why she did that but after she was done kissing him on his cheek, she reasoned to herself that it was nothing but an elder kissing a young person and nothing else other than that.

“Thank you, sir, madam. I’ll now apply the discount.” The maid said with a smile.

The two were pulled out of their thoughts and had their attention on the maid as she said that. They stopped thinking about what happened a few seconds ago.

The maid then handed them their bill and after they paid it, the maid smiled and said,

“Dear guests, are you up for the extra activities of the cafe? Participating in these activities can get you many rewards and will also get you access to the secret menu of the cafe.”

Hearing the secret menu, Emilia felt excited. She looked at Lith and said with a smile, “let’s participate.”

Lith raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, “are you sure? There won’t just be us there and there would be many couples participating. Things would become a bit awkward and embarrassing if we participate.”

Emilia thought about what Lith said and after a few seconds, replied, “it’s fine. We know each other well, things shouldn’t be too awkward.”

The secret menu was making Emilia do things that she never even dreamt or thought of. But she really loved food a lot and this was her first time coming across something called a secret menu. She wondered what amazing dish was hiding behind the normal menu and thus asked Lith to do activities with her.

An immortal was an immortal in the end. They all had a few screws loose in their heads and Emilia also wasn’t any exception to this. They had a never ending lifespan and sometimes passed time by literally doing nothing but staring into empty space. They were very strong and their minds obviously wouldn’t break from boredom or they would have a breakdown for not having any entertainment or things to do.

Emilia, despite having lots of work in the academy and busying herself with the same, needed a break sometimes from it. A break for her would be to do something else apart from work or to simply meditate in a calm and peaceful place.

Cooking with Lith was a break for her and she enjoyed every moment of it. Now, the cafe activities also seemed a good source of entertainment and there was also the secret menu that she was excited to see.

Lith was still a mortal, he hadn’t even crossed the Rank 6 mark where people were considered as higher mortals. He also wasn’t a Half-Saint either yet to at least be a pseudo immortal.

Lith basically didn’t know a single thing about how life was for an immortal or a being that has a never ending lifespan. Thus, he didn’t have much opinion of doing activities in the cafe.

Emilia wanted to participate and there was no hesitation on her part for doing so. Why would Lith reject this request of hers? He also had nothing much to do right now anyway so he went along with it.

They both agreed to participate in the activities but they didn’t want to show their faces to the public there. The maid was prepared for this thing and handed them out masks. These were low grade masks but did a good job in hiding their faces.

The masks only covered half their face. Half of their face was visible, which included half the cheeks, lips, and chin.

Majority of the guests who used the private rooms didn’t like to show their faces to the public and so many rejected these activities. The cafe then came up with masks to hide their faces and thus, almost everyone participated in the cafe activities.

The two were led to the activity area by the maid. It was present at the back of the cafe and after they reached there, they both were surprised once again.

It wasn’t an activity area anymore but a whole stadium!

There was a big oval track laid out and in the middle was a grassy patch where there were things present to do other activities. The stadium obviously had seats as well and to Lith’s surprise, there were many people sitting there and watching.

The maid, after they reached the stadium, said to the two with a smile, “dear guests, there are many couple cafes in the Neutral Continent and every place is connected to this stadium. It belongs to our cafe but we let the others use it as well since the more people, the better the competition, and the more is the fun.

Hearing this, Lith felt amused. This place was much better than he thought it out to be. Previously he didn’t have much interest in competing with a bunch of couples for a secret menu, but now there were hundreds of people present here and it definitely seemed very fun.

Emilia on the other hand was thinking of something else. She looked at the maid and asked, “are the other secret menus present as well? Or is it just your own cafe’s secret menu we are talking about?”

The maid smiled and replied, “the secret menu belongs to our cafe and we have a patent on the dishes present in it. Winning any one competition can get you access to it. If there are winners from the other cafes, they can access the secret menu by coming to our cafe. It’s free of cost.”

Emilia nodded in understanding. So there was only one secret menu. Makes sense.

The maid then said, “but the prizes in the competition include signature dishes of other cafes and many more exciting things. So secret menu or not, you’ll get to taste a lot of different varieties of food.”

Emilia’s eyes lit up as she heard this. But she calmed herself down and grabbing Lith’s hand, she said in a calm tone,

“Let’s go.”
