When they finally arrived at the mess hall, it was already dusk. Anji felt bad for Pearl, who had to work overtime, even though the senior librarian denied that. The smell of food lingering in the canteen made them forget all about the interview.
"Little cutie! You're finally here! I was worried you weren't going to come at all. Come, have a seat. You too, Pearl. It's a good thing you came. Otherwise, we wouldn't know what to do with all the leftovers we made for the special children's menu."
In such a short span of time, Aunt Wine had already created a special children's menu for Anji. Her dedication in the kitchen received respect from Pearl who ordered some leftover food instead of from the menu.
