Chapter 84.

--- Dos Sorpablo Street, the south city on the second level.

It is a relatively small town located just a short drive from the second level of the Central District. Still, it is famous for its delicious seafood cuisine.

It is a town where people come from many cities searching for seafood at night, and adults exchange drinks on terraces everywhere while enjoying the pleasant spring breeze.

In an area of the city with relatively expensive stores, Tenji and Chigo had come to a restaurant that specializes in pasta, called Granze, which is famous in this city.

"Please give me five servings of crab cream pasta. Also, I'd like a herb chicken salad and two Cokes. And......"

"Go for five servings? Our pasta is quite large......."

"No problem! We're big eaters. And hey,......, Tenji, do you need anything?"

"I'm fine. I'll go with Chigo on this."

"Really? Then I'll have some pancakes for dessert, please."

"I'm sorry, ma'am. The pasta has an adjustable amount of garlic. How would you like it?"

"Just normal, right?"

"Yeah, I prefer normal," Tenji replied.

"I will take it as normal. I will bring it to you as normal. And you can choose either ice cream or whipped cream for the pancakes....... Shall I ask you again after dinner?"

"Yes, please do that!"

"I understand. Please wait a little while until the food arrives."

As the waiter said this, another appeared, holding a silver tray, as if he had timed it perfectly.

There were two cups on it, burly and expensive-looking titanium glasses.

"Here, please enjoy this before your food arrives. It is freshly squeezed juice from the grapes we grow. We cannot serve aperitifs to minors, so this is the juice for you. Now, enjoy yourselves."

[TLN: aperitifs - an alcoholic drink taken before a meal to stimulate the appetite.]

The two waiters slowly leave the place with beautifully trained manners.

Essentially, the tables at the restaurant are by reservation only.

However, fortunately, a cancellation happened, and there were seats available. And, as it was known from the device that Chigo is a teacher of Mallorca Escuela, even though it was an unexpected visit, they were able to receive service.

The fact that they can handle this situation on the short notice must mean that this is an excellent restaurant in its own right.

Apparently, the main branch of this restaurant has received two famous stars.

Chigo waits, fidgeting and sipping grape juice as if she is desperately looking forward to it. And she was.

[It's kind of weird. But...... the rich grape taste, with no bitterness flavor, this is...... awesome...] Tenji thought as he sipped his juice.

"Don't worry, I've already decided. Can I have one of your famous crab cream pasta? And a bottle of wine chosen by the chef."

"Understood. I will bring it to you along with the other customer at this table."

"Yeah, nice to meet you."

The waiter, who was already acquainted with President Limey, was soft-spoken and treated the guests as if they were VIPs.

The unexpected appearance of this person makes Tenji feel more nervous than hungry.

[She seems more...... like a normal, kind old lady than Chigo told me she was. So far, she doesn't seem unsociable.]

The person in front of him did not look at all like the "unfriendly old lady" that Chigo had described in the dungeon.

Instead, she was looking at Chigo with a smiling expression, as if she were looking at her grandchildren. Chigo did not seem too nervous, humming and humming as usual as she waited for her pasta.

At that moment, President Limey's eyes turned to Tenji.

Her eyes were somewhat willful as if searching for something inside Tenji.

"You must be Chigo-chan's student, Tenji Amagi. You are smaller than I thought...... you would be. How tall are you?"

'So, you're my student?... um, I mean, I'm yours....? I think I'm 169 cm, or maybe 170 cm?""

"Oh, you are small after all. How long have you known Chigo?"

"Let's see........"

Perhaps noticing Tenji's nervousness, Chigo interrupts the conversation.

"It has been about a month and a half ago. Leon found Tenji-Kun, and we first met at the guild office. And then we met again during the guild's entrance exam."

"I see, so you came to Mallorca. How is it? Are you enjoying Mallorca?"

"Yeah! There's so much good food here. It's fun!"

"Yes, Chigo is just like my grandchild, so I can't help but spoil her.".

President Limey slowly reached up to Chigo's head and gently stroked her hair.

Her eyes do not seem to lie, and she adores Chigo from the bottom of her heart.

[What's so unsociable about her? She seems like a totally normal old lady.]

Somewhere in the back of his mind, Tenji, who had prepared himself for the mindless words to be uttered, was amused.

After that, Limey continued to ask Chigo a number of questions.

So after about fifteen minutes, six pastas arrived on the table.

At first, President Limey was surprised at the amount. Still, when she saw the bottomless stomachs of Tenji and Chigo, she knew that the amount was appropriate.

President Limey quickly finished her meal and waited for them to finish eating, looking calm and sipping her wine.
