Chapter 171: A Little Party
"Why are you here?" Serena brushed aside Elysia"s hands without courtesy. She questioned it unhappily.
"Sshh... That"s the wrong answer, you need to answer our greetings first. Don"t you know proper manners?" Elena put the alibi tissue on the table and gave a "no-no" gesture with her index finger. She answered as if there was no animosity between them.
It wasn"t just Evelyn who was surprised, but Serena too. However, unlike Serena, who was somewhat surprised by Elysia"s eloquence in answering back, Evelyn wondered whether Elysia wanted to declare a retaliation or something?
Evelyn was now standing right behind her best friend and watching Serena for a moment, but she started thinking differently about Serena. Maybe this rude girl was trying to get Elysia"s attention by choking on her own drink? Evelyn wondered in her mind.
"Good afternoon for you too. So, what are you doing here?" Serena frowned.
She was also a little worried because they were in a public place, and she was outnumbered, three to six. She would definitely be at a disadvantage.
She thought Elysia would declare revenge. As for her maids, Cora and Nico were also very worried and started to get nervous while preparing for the worst. They were concerned because maybe her master would receive the consequences of her mistake that night.
"Hmm... That"s a strange question for you to ask us. This place is a cafe, and it also allows anyone to come. There are no restrictions. This cafe is also not a forbidden place or your private property." Evelyn tilted her head slightly, without a smile that usually adorned her pretty face. It was clear that she didn"t like that absurd question.
As Serena"s expression turned bitter and sour, Elena immediately reconciled the situation because her goal wasn"t there.
"Ah, don"t blame trivial matters. Miss Serena just gave her pleasantries. Earlier, we met three cla.s.smates by chance, and now we meet three others. Yes, we are nine people, we can have a small party this late afternoon!" Elena clapped heartily.
"Eh?" Evelyn and Ella were confused about this outcome.
Shouldn"t Elysia harbor a dislike for the rude girl who that night pulled her hair roughly and painfully? Then, why did she seem to know Serena like an old friend? The two of them had absolutely no idea what their friend was thinking at that moment.
"Ehhh?" Serena was stupefied.
However, Elena did not allow anyone to deny or question the unnecessary thing. She gestured to the cafe maid who waited for them. "Excuse me, maid lady, we know each other. Are teenager private room enough for nine of us and a cat?"
The maid lady smiled wryly. She looked for a moment at the white cat on this young girl"s lap. It was seven and now ten, and the cat was counted as a guest...
"I"m afraid the private teenager room won"t be enough to accommodate ten people. How about moving to an adult level private room? There will fit ten people..." The maid lady informed politely, but the smile on her face was a little strange.
No matter how long she has worked here, she still feels the naming of this private s.p.a.ce in this cafe is quite odd. When she suggested the most expansive room, and it was meant for adults coming in a group, it kinda sounded like she was offering the room in a brothel! How could she suggest with a confident smile to the teenage guest for an adult private room!
"Ah, no problem. All of us are adults. The average is sixteen, yes. A private room for adults, here we come." Elena quickly stood up, declaring it like a sailor captain.
Her cheerful demeanor generated many amused smiles from the other guests, including people in her group.
"Ah, maid lady, please bring our friend"s order at this table to our room." Elena didn"t forget to ask for help.
"Yes, with pleasure." It was a coincidence that she carried the tray in her hand. The maid lady put the light snacks and the drinks on the table onto her tray and took them away.
Elena walked behind the maid lady just like that, then the clueless Evelyn and Ella followed after. The two of them seemed to have the same thought, was their friend possessed by something?
The meek girl they knew all of a sudden became quite an a.s.sertive girl. Even so, they didn"t mind it. Maybe Elysia became that way because today was a weekend and a holiday?
Serena, Cora, and Nico were still at their table with dumbfounded expressions. Elysia simply invited them without giving them a chance to refuse, then their snacks and drinks were kidnapped just like that.
When things got here, it would be impossible for them to leave because they didn"t want to come.
"Hey, Miss Serena, are you coming or not? Cora and Nico, you too, what"s with the stupid expressions of you three?" Brian was waiting for three dazed girls who had not yet stood up from there after being invited by his idol girl.
"Huh? Stupid? You are the stupid ones, you three stupid tank top boys, hmph! Nico, Cora, come on." Serena snorted and immediately stood up with the two of her maids. They went following the others into the adult room and left the three men in tank tops behind.
"The stupid ones are you and David, okay? I"m not because I"m awesome." Ashton immediately caught up with the girls" group. He didn"t want to be the last one in the group.
The unexpected encounter and he was about to have lunch with the three most beautiful girls he had ever met, and now there were three other bonuses. Today was really a good day for him.
Brian and David see each other. Finally, they could draw conclusions about Serena"s character. Apart from being arrogant and fond of bragging, she was also an unreasonable girl.
"Boss, we fell behind." David reminded him when he saw the others were far ahead and had entered a room.
"Well..." Brian nodded, then they immediately followed into the adult room.
Inside the room that was said to be an adult room, there was just a particular room that was comfortable and exclusive with a long table and two long sofas.
"Not as lively as the child room we pa.s.sed earlier." Elena gave a comment in her mind.
"Well, at least it"s a big room... You want to have a little party, right?" Elysia rolled her eyes within the Soul Realm. The child"s room was too small to fit a group. It could possibly work for six children, or four teenagers, but not nine people along with a cat!
"Ely, here, sit beside me." Evelyn sat on the very end of the sofa and patted the seat next to her.
"Okay." Elena obeyed and approached there. Ella followed suit and sat beside Elysia, but a white cat was sitting on the sofa between them.
When Serena was confused about choosing a seat for herself to sit down, Ashton immediately stepped forward and sat on the sofa in front of Evelyn at once. He wanted to look at the three beautiful girls during his lunch, even though there was a large table between them.
Brian and David, who came the last, seemed to know the pretentious amateur boy"s rotten intentions. Didn"t want to miss the chance, the two of them quickly sat down beside Ashton, right in front of Elysia and Ella.
"Hmph!" Serena just snorted. She thought too long and ended up sitting next to Ella. Whereas Nico and Cora sat next to David.
As the maid lady put the snacks and drinks back in front of Serena, Cora, and Nico, Evelyn picked up the menu books stacked neatly near her.
"Ely, Ella, what do you want to order?" Evelyn distributed the menu book to the others, but there were only four books. So, she uses a menu book for the three of them, four with Vanessa.
"Ah, this one looks delicious. This one too, how about you, Vann?" Elena put Vanessa on the table. The cat also needed to choose her meal.
When the girls were choosing with the pleasing to the eye and soothing to the heart expressions, Brian still had to continue with his new ident.i.ty. He was now a cool boy.
"Hey, amateur boy, do you need help from this senior to choose? You seem confused and troubled." Brian only needed a glance to know what he wanted to order.
Then, he gave the menu book to David while taunted the boy who had been targeting him since yesterday.
"Now was the time for revenge and in front of many girls and my idol girl muehehe..." Brian laughed evilly in his mind.
"Huh? You"re after me again, hmm... Is this your revenge?" Ashton muttered in his mind, but he didn"t answer that first. He had to know what he could use as retaliation.
Somewhat strange but true, he became involved with Brian and David since their meeting in magic cla.s.s. They became people who like to compete and could also be called rivals. Either it was because Elysia at the time or because their affinity and personality collided but were still related.
"Hmpf! Of course, I know what I need. Unlike you, who still have to build a good body and muscles, I already have it. I just need a high-calorie diet for my lunch. Excuse me, maid lady, I want to order this, this, and this." Ashton smirked with a slightly derisive nod.
"Yes, right away." The maid lady immediately wrote down what Ashton indicated in the menu book.
Then Brian and David did the same, followed by the girls. Serena ordered another drink because the one that made her choke had been labeled as bad luck.
After that, the maid lady left the room to handle all of their orders.
