Eating at a Stall Instead

The plan Daryl had just set up to make himself look great in front of his crush immediately fell apart because of Yuki's actions. Never in his life would he think that the woman that he was so mad about was so powerful and rich, in his mind he was probably one of the richest people in Nightingale. But if it were just wealth, he wouldn't be scared fighting with her because, in front of real power, wealth is nothing compared to it.

But it from what he saw today, Yuki excelled in everything compared to him. She was rich and powerful at the same time, but he fears more how powerful she was because in just one show of power, he saw hope terrifying she was. If she could create a weapon out of the air and her enemies would not even be able to tell it, then it only means that she is extremely powerful because she could easily hide her intent, and mask her powers.

"How… how is this possible?" Daryl's face was lifeless, no matter how hard he tried to think of ways he could win against her, he just couldn't seem to find any. Despair is the only thing he can feel as he sees the woman of his dreams slipping away from him, and that thought makes him crazy. But before his emotions drive him any further, he takes a deep breath to calm himself down because he knows that fighting Yuki right now would basically backfire on him, there was just too little information about her, so he can't risk anything about it.

"Well, would you look at that? He actually didn't go crazy, I guess he is pretty useful. But then again, he wouldn't be my puppet if he is useless." Yuki thought to herself as the feeling of bloodlust behind her disappeared completely, she was half expecting Daryl to already charge at him.

If that were his actions, it would speed up Yuki's plans as it would give her more reasons to kill him because a Town Lord suddenly attacking someone without any warning is just uncalled for. But even if he didn't attack her now, it would still be fine, it would even show a greater result since Yuki would have more time to lay out her plans.

"Where do you want to go now? Would you still like to eat? Because if you want to, we can go to that stall right there, the food there seems great." Yuki suggested as she then pointed at a stall where a lot of smoke was pouring out when Fumiko saw that, she instantly got excited because grilled food was her favorite, so without wasting any more time, she dragged Yuki there without even saying anything to her.

Yuki who was basically dragged onto the stall just had a smile on her face, though she was shocked that Fumiko suddenly grabbed her before dragging her to the stall. She did know that her favorite type of food was grilled, but never did she expect that this was the kind of reaction she was going to show after knowing that there was grilled food.

"Hello! Do you have a menu that we can look at?" Fumiko asked the person behind the counter as soon as they arrived, the man behind the counter was a young man, and when he saw how beautiful Fumiko was, he was smitten. But one glance from Yuki was enough to drive him away, he then just continued his job and gave Fumiko what she asked.

"Come back here once you finish choosing from our menu." The young man said with a polite smile as he then turned around and began to chop some meat that was being ready to serve to the other customer who was also eating.

"Do you have anything that you want to eat, Yuki?" Fumiko asked while browsing through the menu herself.

On the menu, there were at least a few dozen to pick from, just the meats alone on the menu covered almost half of it. There were so many to pick from that Fumiko didn't even know what to pick because she didn't know what would be the best choice, so when she heard that Yuki would just eat what she ordered, she placed back the menu before talking back to the young man.

"What is your best seller here? We're new here, so we don't know what to order, do you have any suggestions?" Fumiko asked if the young man would have any suggestions on what to order because there was just too much to choose from she didn't know what to pick because all of them looked delicious.

"Yeah, of course! Our best seller here is our wild grilled boar's belly! We are also pretty famous for our marinated wyvern cheeks. But if you want a non-meat option, we also serve a mix of grilled vegetables that have been based on our special butter." When Fumiko heard all of those foods, her mouth couldn't help but water, just hearing the names of them made him extremely hungry, so without wasting any more time she ordered two of those three.

"Alright, would that be everything for your order?" The young man asked if that would be everything that they would order, his eyes then suddenly wandered to Yuki, but because she was wearing a mask, he couldn't see or even guess what she was thinking.

"Do you have any desserts?" Yuki asked in a cold and aloof tone which made the young man unconsciously shiver in fear, he had never heard something like that. Her voice was deep but alluring at the same time and hearing it made him more curious about the woman in a mask.

"I'm sorry, but unfortunately no. But I can suggest you a place where they sell some really good desserts, it's just near here too." The young man apologized after composing himself he then suggested another place since their stall doesn't serve any desserts.

Yuki just nodded her head before paying him money and because she didn't have any small change in her, she paid him 1,000 more than what she initially ordered, and because she also knew that he wouldn't have change for her currency, she just said that he could keep the change. In total, what they ate was just worth around 10 gold, but because she didn't have that, she paid him with Red Gold which was the lowest currency that she held.

"Thank you so much!" The young man felt like crying because being paid like that was just a dream for him because that amount would take care of all of his bills for years, he wouldn't need to worry about surviving anymore because of the tip that Yuki gave him. But Yuki just shrugged it off and went to find a sit which Fumiko followed.

"Do you not have any smaller bills in you? I know that you are rich, but I just can't think that what you paid for is worth it." Fumiko said, but she was not trying to make it look bad, she was just wondering why Yuki wasted so much money on their meal.

"Well, if I had any I would have paid with with that instead. But I don't, you know? Sometimes being too rich is also a problem." Yuki chuckled as she didn't forget to boast about herself in front of Fumiko to which she couldn't help but roll her eyes after hearing it. Yuki was just too shameless to say those words without even getting embarrassed.
