"These things look good," Zaroth spoke as he glanced at the menu.

The menu was of high quality, as there were even pictures to show how the dishes would look.

"People sure do change when they drink, huh," he muttered under his breath.

Thinking it was time to ask, his gaze shifted to his friend. "Hey Roran, why are you so obsessed with protecting Lily?" Zaroth asked.
