Chapter 1241: Gathering With Friends
After we had our breakfast, we kickstarted the day with visiting Agartha with Aquarina. I went to pick up some our friends, Zack and Mist were up, Celica too, and of course, I brought Zephy. Lara, Luck, and Celeste were busy, so we didn't bother them. I don't know what they were busy with, but it wasn't our problem to ask them.
But I think they were trying to cultivate and prepare for the trip at the end of the week. I did smell the scent of an Alchemy Cauldron from Celeste's room, so she was probably focusing on her Alchemy.
As for Lara and Luck, I believe they were training or cultivating their spirit magic, both seemed rather compatible with the other, and discovered the more they used their powers together, the more they progressed.
I don't know how far they'll get, but I hope they can find some breakthrough and learn a new cultivation technique together, or something.
We moved around town to check on everyone and everything. We reached the farms we helped to improve, and saw the farmers there, they were working diligently as usual, the farms looked beautiful.
"Lady Sylphy and her friends! Good morning!"
"Good morning everyone!"
"Please, wait! Take this with you!"
A young red-haired elf girl with freckles and brown eyes called for me.
"Oh, Alicia! Hi!"
She was the farm girl that called us for the pest problems we solved back then.
"Hello! I am so happy you're returned, Lady Sylphy! Please, take these. We've harvested them after you helped us improve the farms so much with your magic! There has never been such tasty radishes, potatoes, and carrots ever before! And you have to definitely taste the juicy tomatoes as well as the fresh lettuce!"
She gave me a huge wooden box packed full of all kinds of veggies.
"Hahah... Thank you so much! It is nice to see you! How have you been?"
"We've been super fine over here! Since the whole incident you resolved with your parents, there hasn't ever been any more pest problems. Agartha is peaceful and nice, thanks for protecting it!"
"It's nothing, we did what we had to." I smiled.
"Yeah, no prob." Aquarina said, grabbing a tomato and munching it. "Oh?! So sweet!"
"Right? Just eat them as they are!" Alicia giggled.
"Alright, allow me to take one then." Zack grabbed a tomato.
"Yeah!" Zephy nodded. "I never thought the place would be so popular..."
"Well, it's this city's most popular restaurant and a touristic attraction by many people that visit the city!" Suddenly, a blue haired young elf man appeared behind us, wearing white colored chef clothes and a chef hat.
"John!" I said.
He was the head chef of the restaurant and the owner of it, who had given us a quest to bring him the ingredients many months ago, almost a year ago in fact.
"Lady Sylphy and everyone! You have grown so tall now! It has been almost a year now, right?" He laughed. "Aquarina for sure has gotten a big growth spur! Look at that girl,
hahaha!"
"Hahah..." Aquarina smiled.
"Nice to meet you John! We came to just check the place around, how has everything going?" I asked.
"Excellent! Since you explored the dungeon and defeated whatever was making it so annoying to explore, that the other adventures have been able to supply me with ingredients more safely! Business is booming, seafood at this area of the continent is very rare after all! Tourist come here all the time!" The chef was very happy.
"I'm so happy for you! If business are blooming here, it's good for the whole city then!" I nodded.
"Yes, of course! Do you want to have a meal here with your friends? Of course, it's on the
house!" He said.
"But it's already full?" Zack asked.
"Yes, for now. In an hour from now there should be a table available! Can you come by then?"
He asked.
I looked at my friends, and everyone was willing.
"Sure, why not? Thank you! I'll bring Lara, Luck, and Celeste too. I'm sure you'll love Lara and
Luck, they're heroes like us too!" I said.
"Oh my! Of course, bring all your friends here, Lady Sylphy!" John laughed.
With that done, we moved to the adventurer's guild.
