Chapter 813: Libation Fiesta x Three Swords
"We have arrived." Clovis smiled, stopping in front of the small restaurant.
"Hmm. This is the place?" Christina widened her eyes. "I expected it to be much more… How do I say this, high-end?"
Hana nodded in agreement. "Considering the popularity of the chef, I thought it would be much better. Then again, the most important thing will be the taste, I guess…"
"The taste is something I can guarantee." Clovis chuckled.
"Well, considering you brought that…" Hana glanced at the food Clovis bought from the mall.
"You will see." Clovis shrugged before opening the door.
"Welcome. Oh, looks like you have arrived. All your friends?" Dnanta took a peek from the kitchen.
"Yes, boss. There are 11 of us now. 4 more are coming." Clovis acknowledged it and placed the bag down on the counter. "Here you go, the ones I promised."
"Hoho. This is getting interesting." Dnanta nodded. "As you can see, there are only three menus. Even if you bring custom ingredients, these three will be the base menu."
"No worries. They already know about it. 4 noodles, 6 steaks, and 6 rice." Clovis asked.
"Hahaha. Looks like you are already ordering your own portion." Dnanta laughed. "But OK. Coming right up!"
Clovis chuckled as he just picked a random seat. Even Vina, who was still annoyed with Clovis, was still following them. It showed how tempting the food was.
Some chose to take their seats while the others were looking around.
Christina stumbled upon something. She grabbed Hana and pointed at the poster. "Hana…"
"!!!" Hana widened her eyes, finally understanding everything. It was the poster of Dnanta paying Clovis for ingredients he had never seen before. All the ingredients from Another World Mall were definitely something they had never seen before, so Clovis practically robbed Dnanta.
The door soon opened one more time.
"!!!" Clovis turned around and saw four people. Nart and Eid were obvious, but Stefany, surprisingly, came with them just like Vina. If Vina were alone, they could brush it off as if she were tempted by the food. But the fact Stefany was coming meant there might be some hidden cooperation between them.
However, the most surprising guest was actually a small kid that Nart and Eid brought.
"Oh, welcome!" Dnanta came out again. "Call me if you want to order something."
"Welcome!" Clovis waved his hand. "Take a seat."
"..." Nart and Eid glanced at each other, their expressions turning solemn.
Stefany didn't even glance at Vina. Still, all of a sudden, the young girl ran to Clovis and raised her head.
"Hmm?" Clovis glanced at Nart and Eid. "Your daughter?"
Nart and Eid's eyebrows twitched. However, the one answering him was the girl.
"I am Nisha Leemore. One of the three disciples of the Three Swords. I am thankful for your invitation for two-day! Mmff? Today!" She bit her tongue.
Some couldn't help but chuckle, looking at this cute little princess.
Clovis, on the other hand, only smiled and extended his hand. "What a polite girl. Hello, I'm Clovis Hacfield. I hope you will enjoy the food today. Order everything you like. There are only three options, though."
"Can I?" Nisha's eyes brightened. "Masters want to come, but they said it's for us this time. Can I also bring something home for Masters?"
"Of course." Clovis nodded.
"Yay! Thank you very much!" She politely joined her hands together and bowed.
"You're welcome."
Before ordering, Nisha looked like she was thinking hard about something other than the food. "Big Brother Clovis. Masters say that you are a bad guy who has turned into a good guy. Is that true?"
"Nisha!" Eid raised his voice. "You can't be rude!"
Clovis widened his eyes but realized it didn't have any ill intentions. Besides, it just meant turning from foe to friend.
Clovis shook his head. "That will depend on your brothers. Will they want me to remain the bad guy or to become a good guy? Should I remain as the bad guy and eat Nisha?"
Nisha took a step back before turning to Nart and Eid with a pale face. "Big brothers… Are you not going to be friends? Nisha doesn't want to be eaten."
Nart and Eid were actually surprised. For outsiders, they thought it was just a kid's joke. For people who knew Nisha, it was like a warning.
The last part of her sentence had a different meaning. Nart, Eid, and the three masters knew Nisha had one peculiar trait. She instinctively knew the threat of someone possessed. In other words, Nisha was practically telling them that if Clovis remained as their foe, he might single-handedly beat both of them at the same time.
'He is stronger than both of us combined?' Nart glanced at Eid.
Eid gulped down. 'Nisha might look a bit older, but her mental age is a few years younger. She has a particular sense that can determine one's threat. After seeing a massive threat in the past, she went into a coma for a few years.
'Even during the training, she could avoid almost everything as if she could see the danger coming. So, Nisha determines that Clovis is stronger than both of us combined?'
Eid hurriedly regained his composure and smiled while patting her head. "Don't worry. If we don't intend to become friends, we won't even come here. This big brother is inviting us here to celebrate our friendship by treating us with delicious food."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Yay!" Nisha raised both hands, cheering wholeheartedly.
"Then, it's time for Nisha to choose what she wants to eat." Clovis smiled.
"Un!" She nodded furiously before turning around.
"All right. There are only three menus here. What does Nisha want?" Eid asked, guiding her to her seat.
Once they were away, Nart came to Clovis with a grim expression. He whispered, "I don't think I have to say this, but don't say anything to Nisha. If you dare to harm her, no matter who your backing is, the Three Swords will definitely kill you."
"I'm scared, big brother." Clovis acted as if he were a dog that had just been wronged.
Nart had the urge to hit Clovis in the face. "You do have a knack for pissing someone off."
"I will take that as a compliment. How about ordering your food first?"
"Hmph." Nart harrumphed.
