Chapter 67: Treated to a Meal
"President Rosie, Vice President Bianca, and Senior Fran. It"s late afternoon, it"s time for us to return. Thank you for taking your valuable time guiding us around."
Elysia decided to end the tour after taking one more look at Brian and David who were hilariously trying out the bodybuilding training tools one by one and being guided by the seniors.
"What? That fast? I"m still... Okay, the time has pa.s.sed so fast and now it"s late afternoon. Have you had lunch even though it"s late?"
Rosie immediately changed what she wanted to say when she got a signal from Bianca not to overdo it. She realized that if she over-researched Elysia"s information from the person directly, it might turn her into a nuisance.
Even though she has been patient to ask questions and ended up getting nothing, she still has to wait and gradually find out more.
"We missed lunch, and it"s almost evening." Evelyn looked out the window.
"We"ll go out to eat too. How about joining us? The bill will be paid by Fran." Rosie pointed to her little brother.
"Eh? Me? Well... All right." Fran could only agree when his big sister glared at him. He will lament the fate of his wallet later.
"How? We are going to Tasty Eden which is famous for its deliciousness, you know." Bianca also invited Elysia and Evelyn, she is also happy because she will eat for free.
Elysia looked at each other and nodded. Strangely what comes to their mind is the same, free food.
"Sure."
"With pleasure."
"Then it"s decided, let"s go." Rosie encouraged them with enthusiasm.
The five of them immediately headed to Tasty Eden on foot because it was located very close to the academy area boundary. None of the five of them realized, when they were touring the academy area a while ago, there wasn"t a single person who caused trouble or bothered them and that was thanks to the unexpected services of two free bodyguards.
"Vanessa, take off your camouflage and come closer to me. We will eat for free and your job is to eat a lot to the satisfaction, make sure their wallets scream."
"Yes, master. I skipped breakfast and lunch, thank you for cooking yesterday, I overeat." Vanessa immediately carried out her master"s n.o.ble order and walked over with pleasure.
She did skip breakfast on purpose and felt that it was okay to skip lunch just because yesterday she ate too much of the dishes her master and Evelyn made. It was so delicious that she didn"t realize that until her tummy was full but her mouth still wanted to chew, she stopped after being warned by her master to stop eating.
"Yes, this time make sure you"re satisfied. If necessary, eat until your tummy is round hehe..." Elysia giggled in her mind as she walked towards the cafe and restaurant in question.
"Meow." The white cat immediately stroked its body on Elysia"s legs which stopped for a moment.
"Eh? Vanessa? Where did you come from? I"m starting to wonder..." Evelyn was surprised to see a white cat suddenly come at the feet of the girl next to her.
"Yes, she is Vanessa. She is probably tired of playing and bored." Elysia crouched down and grabbed Vanessa to put her in her arms and then stroked her soft fur gently.
"Oh, she can find her master. That"s amazing." Evelyn joined in stroking Vanessa.
"Aww ~ Cute, is she your pet?" Rosie"s eyes sparkled when she saw the cute white cat in Elysia"s arms.
"Mew."
"Yes, her name is Vanessa. Nice to meet you all." Elysia grabbed Vanessa"s little paw and waved it.
Then they continue their steps towards Tasty Eden which can be seen from a distance.
"Oh yes, speaking of pets and beasts, the academy also has the beast tamer club. In that club, many students have the Spirit Beast descendant or other beasts as their companion. Students will be trained to build relationships and bonds with their pets and train the pet to become stronger." Bianca clapped her hands once.
"Is that so? Maybe I"ll take a look there another time." Elysia only answered lightly because she realized Vanessa was frowning.
"Do you want to go to the club, Vanessa?"
"We need to look at the club another time, master. I didn"t expect that there was pet training like that in this academy."
"Well... I also just found out at this time, the academy doesn"t actually support first-grade students to join the club. They didn"t give us club information before second grade."
The conversation between Elysia and Vanessa was so brief that no one noticed. Now they are in front of a big upscale cafe that looks luxurious and cla.s.sy, ??also expensive of course.
"Welcome to Tasty Eden, want to book a table for how many people?" A maid waiting near the entrance greeted them graciously.
"Five people and one cat."
The maid"s professional smile twitches slightly when a cat is called a customer but she still has to do her job properly.
"Then please follow me, I will guide you to your table."
Five human customers and one cat customer entered the cafe with a maid guiding them. The tables were divided into small quarters with thin covering walls as tall as adults. Beautiful bright lights that complement the cla.s.sy atmosphere of an upscale restaurant cafe.
"This is your menu book, what do you want to order?" The maid places six menu books on a six-person table when all the customers are seated in the quarter.
"I want to order this..." Rosie began ordering the dish of her choice.
"Vanessa, what do you want to order? Remember, only order what you can finish. There is no mercy if there is leftover food. Elysia put Vanessa on the table to help her choose by flipping through the menu book.
"I understand. I want this, this, this... This looks good too, then this too." Vanessa chooses from the many pictures of dishes on the menu with her little paw.
"Miss, and the cat. What would you like to order?" The maid asked Elysia and the cat after all the customers had finished mentioning their orders to her.
"I"ll order this, and this. As for Vanessa, she wants this, this... and this." Elysia chooses many dishes to order.
Not only surprising the maid, but also Rosie and friends. Besides knowing that this white cat is an intelligent animal, but the order she ordered was huge.
"Then please wait a moment. The dishes will arrive soon." The maid took back the six menu books and then hurried somewhere.
"Ely, Vanessa is an intelligence beast?" Evelyn asked in amazement when she saw the white cat beside her and Elysia who was sitting in the corner.
"Yes."
"Oh, wow... That means I"ve played with a beast that has a high chance of becoming a Spirit Beast in the future... What would Vanessa look like when that happened. She is currently so cute..." Evelyn stroked Vanessa gently while imagining of the ultimate form of this little white cat.
"Big Sis! My money won"t be enough to pay for it all!" Fran whispered softly into Rosie"s ear.
"I"ll cover it up, take it easy." Rosie whispered back as she pinched Fran"s thigh to keep him quiet.
Before long, the maid returned with a serving trolley and plenty of food. One by one the dishes are placed on the table.
Unlike the five human customers who ate slowly with manners, the white cat just devoured and seemed to be swallowed immediately before going to another dish, another, and more. The maid quickly took the empty plate in front of Vanessa who was sitting at the table and put back the new dish she ordered from the serving trolley.
So greedily the white cat ate really made the five humans who ate with her dumbfounded, even Elysia as Vanessa"s master was amazed and wondered how about eating without chewing.
They finished the dish without leaving any leftovers. Three satisfied girls, one overeating cat, one girl who is sighing, and one man who is feeling lost because his wallet is empty. All of them finally got out of Tasty Eden.
Rosie can"t ask Elysia anymore because of Vanessa, the white cat. She sighed and hoped the next opportunity would be better.
"President Rosie, Vice President Bianca, and Senior Fran thank you for the treat. See you later." Elysia and Evelyn wave their hands to the three seniors.
"Yes, see you later. Have a nice day." Rosie waved her hand with a smile. She saw Elysia and Evelyn walking slowly away thinking about something she will do tomorrow, not only Elysia but Serena as well.
"Let"s go back too. I want to discuss some things with you." Rosie and Fran and Bianca walked in different directions from the two girls.
"Ely, let"s go straight to the dorm room. I want to talk to you something important." Evelyn grasped Elysia"s elbow lightly and looked up at her face.
