He looked at the pretty gray-haired, gray-eyed girl beside him, dressed in a maid outfit, and said helplessly, "I admit defeat."

Seeing that he was slightly embarrassed.

"Hehe~"

The girl playfully stuck out her tongue, then took his arm and whispered in his ear, "Shel Frova, that's my 'current' name."

"I've got it, so please don't forget!"

"Onisaama~"

Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Abundant Mistress

The tavern 'The Abundant Mistress' is a large building with two floors and a triangular partition at the top.

Speaking of which, even shops located on the main road of the west gate in the 'Seventh District - Old City Area' are rarely this large in scale.

In addition, the restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious food... and most importantly, all the female staff members are very attractive...

In short, 'The Abundant Mistress' is probably the most popular tavern in the area.

Even though the shop assistants always completely disregard the saying "the customer is always right," and would occasionally throw troublemakers out the door and snatch their money pouches, and a certain female elf would even draw her knife and chase after people who dine and dash... leading adventurers to call it "a place even more terrifying than the chaotic transit town of Rivera," it had no effect whatsoever.

After all these years, no adventurer with even a little experience would dare to cause trouble in a place with a Level 6 female shopkeeper.

Adventurers are mostly short-tempered, and if they went to other taverns, a fight would break out at the slightest disagreement.

This is undoubtedly an excellent place for those who have worked hard all day and just want to sit down, have a good meal, chat and relax to relieve their stress.

In fact, inside the labyrinth city of Orario, you can often have a full meal for just 50 Fali.

If you go to the 'Third District, Slums Street' area, the price would be even lower.

But at the 'Abundant Mistress' restaurant, even the cheapest pasta costs 300 fares.

A drink costs 200 fares.

The main dishes recommended daily at the restaurant are almost all priced close to a thousand.

Incidentally, as the most expensive items for sale in the city, some low-level adventurer equipment only costs a few thousand falis.

The lowest-grade recovery potion costs only 500 Faris per bottle.

This shows that the 'abundant hostess' was not something that ordinary people could afford.

Of course, Ling Shu doesn't need to worry about these things.

Freya… oh no, Seele knows he's been making a lot of money lately, so…

“Miya’s mom, Ling Shu is a big eater, so we can’t be stingy.”

"Oh? That's great. Bring up the dishes one after another later. I want to see just how amazing this 'big eater' that Seele praised is."

"..."

At this moment, Ling Shu had been led by Xi'er to the corner of the bar on the first floor.

This section separates from the long row, and there's just enough room for one person to sit.

Speaking of...

"Isn't this the 'main character seat' where that red-eyed rabbit boy first came here?"

Ling Shu silently complained to himself.

Looking around...

Wearing a maid outfit, Seele, who was standing to the side covering her mouth and chuckling, was indeed vastly different from the 'goddess of beauty' that Ling Shu remembered.

If Freya is the kind of queen who has been in a high position for a long time and often gives people the feeling of being in control and not to be disobeyed, then Seele is the kind of cute girl next door who is a little cunning.

Ling Shu knew that the current 'Seele' was not the kind of fake performance that would be criticized as 'Best Actress', but Freya's true nature.

Yes, that goddess who reigns over all of Orario and can even take over the lower realms in the blink of an eye, is actually just naturally this kind of playful personality.

She used to even stick out her tongue in front of Ota in an attempt to sneak out and play, trying to get away with it by being cute.

However, trying to act cute in front of that martial artist is like casting pearls before swine.

In general, while those in positions of power should fulfill their duties, 'Freya' is more like a mask presented to outsiders.

at the moment……

"I have a feeling my paycheck will look pretty good tonight."

Xi'er narrowed her eyes slightly, smiling mischievously and slyly, "Thank you, Brother Ling~ Shu~!"

"Sigh~"

Ling Shuxia subconsciously recognized the gaze.

Oh no, this feels like I'm having a heart attack.

"She's Freya, she's Freya..."

Ling Shu kept hypnotizing himself with this thought.

To be honest, it wasn't that he had any prejudice against Freya's past, but rather that he simply couldn't muster any interest in women with a 'queen-like' aura.

Ling Shu personally prefers someone like Ya Ya, who is a little arrogant and can play games with her, or someone like a cook, who is more virtuous.

So, Seele now is kind of hitting his liking.

"Calm down, calm down. If your heart is clear, you won't be alarmed even if the sky falls."

Ling Shu, who was full of inner monologue, breathed a long sigh of relief.

Just then...

"Boom~"

Mia's mother's way of serving food is the kind that's very bold and unrestrained, like slamming the dishes onto the table.

Ling Shu felt the entire bar counter shake.

Oh, by the way, Mia's mother's full name is 'Mia Grando', she's of dwarven descent, and she's 1.8 meters tall...

Yes, you heard right, a dwarf who is 1.8 meters tall.

Because of this characteristic, she was given the title of "Little Giant" by the gods, and many years ago she was already a Level 6, Level 1... an adventurer who stepped into the 'Hero Realm'.

The former leader of the Freya Familia.

To be honest, it's quite remarkable that Mia's mom has been able to keep smashing this bar counter like this.

It's worth noting that another dwarf, [Chongjie] Grace, who is also at Lv.6, can carve a 'rift valley' hundreds of meters ahead of him with a single axe strike.

In comparison, the bar counter in the 'Abundant Mistress' shop is just like 'Master Ye's Wooden Dummy,' holding a transcendent status.

Sigh, I feel sorry for you for a second.

At present...

"This is today's featured dish – roasted whole chicken with caramelized leaves."

Standing behind the bar, Mia's mother rolled up her sleeves and laughed heartily, "Not enough, huh? I'll bring you more later."

"oh oh."

Ling Shu nodded, somewhat bewildered.

A whole roasted chicken... oh my god~

"Can I order a few drinks?"

He turned his head to look at Seele, who was still standing to the side, and asked her tentatively.

"Of course, Brother Ling Shu."

Seele smiled slightly, picked up the tray, and ran off, calling out, "Wait for me, okay?"

At this moment, watching her departing figure...

So cute!!!

"Ahem, um~"

Ling Shu coughed a few times to regain his composure.

"Have some self-awareness, you can't afford to play this game."

He reminded himself of this.

"At least, let's wait until I become the 'strongest in Orario' before we talk about it."

His thoughts were quite straightforward.

"With the power, you can do whatever you want."

"If you don't have the ability, don't daydream. Be down-to-earth first."

With that thought in mind, Ling Shu broke off a chicken leg and started putting it in his mouth.

I just took the first bite...

"Hmm, not bad, about the same as the takeout I ordered downstairs before I time-traveled."

Without a doubt, given the highly discerning palates of modern people, even the renowned delicacies of the 'Abundant Mistress' tavern still fall short.

And speaking of this...

"Speaking of which, putting aside 'forging,' I should also find an opportunity to try 'cooking.'"

Ling Shu continued gnawing on his chicken leg, sitting at the bar with his left hand propping up his cheek, lost in thought, "Genshin Impact cuisine, can its powerful effects be replicated in this world?"

He is still very much looking forward to it.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Because he was too afraid of dying...

Speaking of Genshin Impact cuisine, one cannot help but mention the legendary, god-tier life-saving dish, 'Teyvat Omelet'.

Back then, every traveler carried at least two or three digits of items in their backpack.

"A bird's egg for a life" is no joke.
