Chapter 51

Six months have passed after the news about Renneshia and her mother's death arrived at the Ruach mansion.

In the old restaurant, somewhere in Labyrinth City,

"Welcome to 'Red Dawn'! How many people will be dining today?" A beautiful young boy with red hair and brown eyes greets the customer politely.

The young boy seems to be someone who took an apprenticeship in this bar. The guest is looking at the boy's good mannerisms and how he acts in a polished manner. The guest is thinking that boy seems to be someone who is well-learned or might be an illegitimate child from some rich or noble family. Or his family might be working for some rich or noble family before.

"I come alone today because I heard that the food in this place is really good and I couldn't find a similar taste in another place." The customer answered.

The new guest that coming alone to the restaurant is a handsome man with dark blue hair and blue sky eyes. From his appearance, although he seems to dress like a commoner, but the clothes are made of good materials that will need around two months to earn for most commoners.

"Currently only the seats on the counter are empty. Are you okay with it?" The red hair boy asked politely and pointed at the counter table.

"It is alright because I was coming alone today." The dark blue hair customer nodded and follow the red hair boy to the counter.

The counter only has two empty seats left. This restaurant is always full whenever lunchtime or dinnertime arrived. This kind of thing has happened for more than a month and people still flock to this restaurant every day. The dark blue hair customer sits on the empty seat and looks at the restaurant.

It was an old restaurant that have been established for more than fifty years. The first owner had died from old age and his son had dis because of a rowdy adventurer that tried to take his wife around a year ago. Although the rowdy adventurer had been arrested by the city guards, but the owner's son had already lost his life when they arrived at the restaurant.

The restaurant almost get shut down because only the widowed madam was left alone without anyone able to help her. But something seems to have changed her fate around a month ago. The restaurant suddenly became filled with people and it was always full of mealtime. And the only difference is the new helper in the restaurant.

"Sir, have you decided on what you want to order?" The red hair boy asked politely.

"Hmm, do you have any recommendations?" The dark blue hair customer asked with a curious face.

"If this is your first time eating in this restaurant, I recommend you to try our today's special menu. It was a package meal and it was cheaper because you will get the free drinks." The red hair boy answer as if he had memorised the answer.

"Alright, because you are the one who recommends it, I will order today's special menu." The dark blue hair customer said with a smile on his face.

"Please wait for a moment, Sir." The red hair boy said and went to the kitchen.

The dark blue hair man looks around the restaurant while waiting for the red hair boy to come back with his order. The customers that also sitting at the counter like him were enjoying their food. All of them eat different types of foods and drinks. But all of it was something that he had never seen even when he went to the capital city.

He knows that he was lucky to decide to have an early lunch in this restaurant. If he comes a bit later, he might have to wait until someone finished their meals to be able to come and eat in this restaurant. Dinner time was much more difficult to get any empty seats in this restaurant because it will be filled with the adventurers that just finished their work.

From the story that he heard from some adventurers, this restaurant gets some protection from a few famous adventurer parties in this city. No one knows the reason but most adventurers in this city didn't dare to mess with this restaurant again. Some of them even say that they will stop anyone who tries to make trouble in this restaurant.

The kitchen door was opened and a brown hair and eyes woman with a neat and beautiful appearance show up and make up to half of the men in the restaurant turned their gazes to look at her. The dark blue hair man was also stunned by her beauty.

Babump.

His heart beat faster and he couldn't take his gaze away from her. It was the first time he feels something like this. He had met with a lot of women from different backgrounds but none of them were able to make him feel interested or want to know more about them. But the woman in front of him is different.

As the brown hair women get closer, he feels that his heart will explode. The woman gets closer to his seat and serves the food and drink on the tray that she brought to the front of the dark blue hair customer and smiles.

"Here is your order, Sir. I hope you enjoy our today's special menu." She said with a smile on her face.

The dark blue hair guest was unable to say anything to her as he could only watch her in a daze until her appearance was gone when she entered the kitchen.

"If you want to woo her, then forget it!"

Someone suddenly warned him from beside him. It was the man who seat beside him and from his appearance, he looks like an adventurer.

"Why do you tell me that?" The dark blue hair customer asked with a bit irritated tone.

"Do you know how many men have their hearts broken because of her little hero that will punish those men who try to act rudely to her or want to woo her?" The adventurer said while looking at the dark blue hair customer with a pitiful gaze.

"Hm!? Little hero? Why do I never hear of it before? Is he a new famous adventurer?" The dark blue hair man was confused by the words of the adventurer beside him.

"Hahaha, he is just someone you have met before. He is not an adventurer but a person who is working here." He laughed and point at the kitchen door.

The dark blue hair customer quickly turned his head and try to see the person called 'little hero' by the adventurer beside him. But he feels angry at the adventurer beside him because he only saw the red hair boy that comes out from the kitchen.

"Hey, boy! Can we ask for a refill of our drinks?" One of the adventurers who comes with his group raises his empty glass.

"Please wait for a moment. I will quickly bring it." The red hair boy shouted.

The red hair boy run to the counter and took a pitcher before he run to the adventurer party. He busily works as the people continue to ask for a refill or a second serving.

The dark blue hair customer looks back at the adventurer beside him and asks with a doubtful face. "Do you mean that little red hair boy? He can't be the little hero that you mentioned before, right?"

He could not believe in the words of the adventurer beside him. He was thinking that the adventurer beside him is trying to tell him some lie to make fun of him. He feels angry at him but when he looks at his serious face, he feels speechless.

"That little boy is quite famous with the adventurers. Those famous adventurers were waiting for him to start his apprenticeships next year. I don't know if it was the truth but the adventurers that come with him and his mother are saying that he was able to kill even a medium-ranked monster by himself. And the people who tried to mess with him or his mother will get into a lot of misfortunes." The adventurer beside him said with a grim expression.

He didn't know what to say because it was something unbelievable story for him. But from the adventurer's words, there is a strange word that he could not understand.

'Why did he say they will have a lot of 'misfortunes'? Isn't more believable if he said that they got retaliation from that boy? Of course, it was if the rumour was real.'

But his thought was disturbed by the sudden voice.

"I think it would be better if you eat the meals while it still warm, Sir."

It was the red hair boy who was pouring something into the pitcher.

"Boy. Can I also ask for a refill?" The adventurer beside him asks the red hair boy.

"Of course, please wait for a moment. I will refill it as soon as I finished making it." The red hair boy said while focusing on the things that he poured into the pitcher.

The red hair boy's movement seems to be trained and he quickly makes the drink. He refills the glass of the adventurer beside the dark blue hair customer. After he finished filling his glass, he look at the dark blue hair customer.

"Do you dislike our today's special menu? Why don't you try it first? I promise you that my mother cooking will taste delicious." The red hair boy said while looking with a cold expression.

"Huh?! Mother!?" The dark blue hair customer said with a surprised expression.
