Rankster looked up and met Yabemiya's eyes. He instantly stood like a child who had made a mistake and said to Miya with an unnatural expression, "I-I want to order…"
Miya felt amused by his reaction. He was already so old, so he couldn't be ordering food for himself in a restaurant for the first time, right? However, she still gently said, "The menu is here. You can order whatever dishes you'd like to have."
Rankster looked at the menu and calmed down as he said, "Then, I'll have one helping of every single dish."
"You won't be able to finish all this food by yourself. Wastage is not permitted in Mamy Restaurant, so I cannot order all the dishes for you." Miya put down her notebook and seriously said to Rankster, "Food is very precious and my boss' time is even more precious. Many more customers are waiting for their turn to eat."
Rankster looked at the way Miya was trying to lecture him and felt rather amused and exasperated. Did this lass think that her boss is the most important person? Couldn't he, the King of the Frost Dragons order a table full of dishes?
Rankster sat down again and smilingly asked Miya, "Then, could you tell me what I should order, young lady? This is my first time here, so I'm not very sure."
In principle, Mag didn't allow them to recommend dishes to the customers.
It was to give the customers more freedom to choose and reduce their workload.
However, this mister gave her a special feeling. Perhaps, it was because he looked lonely, because he had come to eat alone? Or perhaps it was because she was amused and yet felt bad for him at the same time when he stood up in a fluster?
After pondering for a while, she pointed at the 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall' and said, "If you want to nourish your body, you can order a helping of 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall'. It's super delicious and it'll run out later."
Rankster's mouth couldn't help but twitch when he saw that 10,000 copper coins price tag, which was much higher than the other dishes.
This was indeed his dear daughter.
However, he still nodded smilingly. "Alright, I'll order a helping of 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall'. What else, then?"
"Is your taste light, or do you like spicy food?" Miya asked again.
"I'm fine with either."
"Then, you can order a helping of sweet and savory red braised pork, a helping of the eggplant with garlic sauce that goes well with rice, and one helping of crispy and tender beggar's chicken. That should be quite enough." Miya asked Rankster, "Would it be too much for you?"
Rankster nodded and said, "It's fine. I can order more if it's not enough."
To a giant dragon, this amount of food wasn't much.
"Alright. Please wait for a moment." Miya nodded and moved onto the next customer.
Rankster looked at Miya's busy figure with an increasingly gentle gaze and a fatherly smile.
Amy propped her head on Ugly Duckling's head, pointed her little finger at Rankster and whispered, "Big Sister Annie, do you see that mister looking at Big Sister Miya with a weird intention?"
"An old lecher?" Angela happened to walk by and saw Rankster when she looked at where Amy was pointing.
It was still alright. He looked like a prim and proper mister. His gaze wasn't improper, instead it looked rather gentle like an elder.
Harrison chuckled and said to Gjerj, "The Spicy Escargots look quite good. Georgina went to visit her grandma today, so we can have a few drinks. The rum is a good thing."
"You can have more. I have to put my little princess Christy to bed tonight, so I can't drink too much," Gjerj shook his head and replied, but his tone of voice was rather smug.
Harrison patted his chest and said, "Tsk. I'll go put the little princess to bed tonight too. I'll guard her."
"You're not worthy." Gjerj rejected him without any hesitation.
"Hmph. I'lI have one myself in two years," Harrison said angrily. It was true that he was envious.
He wasn't envious when he saw his boys previously. Instead, he was even feeling a hint of schädenfreude.
However, ever since little Christy was born, Harrison watched her grow up, become cuter and call Gjergj 'daddy' adorably, he was indeed getting jealous.
"When do you and Georgina intend to get married?" Gjerj asked.
"We have to wait till next year. She said she will bring me to meet her father some time later. I'm feeling a little scared. What should I do?" Harrison was feeling uneasy.
"Are you afraid her father will call you bro?" Gjerj teased.
"Scram! Am I that old?!"
"Hehe. You have found yourself a young wife. Indeed, as long as a man works hard enough, his wife could still be underage."
"Georgina has come of age! She just had her birthday two days ago," Harrison said gravely.
"Yo, can you guys do the deed now?"
"Scram!"
Rankster looked at the two human fatties sitting next to him. He thought he could have his meal alone leisurely. He didn't expect to share the table with three other people, two of them were even very talkative.
"I, Rankster, have never shared tables with anyone…"
He didn't voice out his thoughts eventually because the fourth person was brought to the table by Miya.
The rules of Mamy Restaurant was that the customers allowed the sharing of tables by default.
The elves were sitting at the same table with the demons, so it didn't seem to be such a big deal for him to share a table with the humans.
"What magic does this restaurant have? How did it make so many customers so obedient? That boss' power was only so-so," Rankster murmured inwardly. His gaze swept across the service staff in the restaurant and he seemed taken aback.
That maiden of an unknown race over there was actually a 9th-tier water magic caster. With that kind of power at her age, she was definitely an excellent outlier on the Norland Continent.
The maiden standing next to the counter and using spatial magic to serve the dishes, was an 8th-tier magic caster, and she was an extremely rare spatial magic caster.
That naturally seductive little succubus also had an 8th-tier power.
And that little half-elf girl holding an orange cat behind the counter was… 7th-tier?!
Rankster's eyes almost popped out of his eye sockets.
That little girl was only about three or four years old and yet she was already a 7th-tier magic caster!
No. Judging from the magic waves in her body, she was about to break through the threshold to an 8th-tier magic caster.
What terrible natural gift was that?!
A 9th-tier water magic caster, an 8th-tier spatial magic caster and an 8th-tier succubus were working as service staff in this tiny restaurant, and there was also this gifted half-elf magic caster. He couldn't help sizing up Mag again.
Who exactly was he? How did he gather them here and make them work as a humble server willingly?"
Mag didn't know what Rankster was thinking now, otherwise he would tell Rankster that what he saw only scratched the surface.
There were also Sally the current leader of the Wind Forest, Connie the chieftain of the orcs, Camilla the new chief of the vampires, Babla the princess of the Moon Nation, Gina the princess of the merfolk and Elizabeth and Yabemiya, your precious daughters…
The princess collector. He had indeed lived up to his name.
