Ember "..."
But her head started to ache just thinking about how she'd be able to accomplish this abrupt mission. It's not as if she have to act cutely in front of the owner. Heck, she didn't even know who the owner is!
She set aside the thought for the moment and concentrated on what to order.
The cafe have variety of cutely decorated cakes that cater most on young ladies taste but they also have classic cakes to balance out the preferences.
There are cakes with flower fondants, animal shapes, transparent jellies with 3d looking decos inside. Along with the others, they can't decide which dessert to take. In the end, she decided to settle with a bit of everything.
"Are you sure you can finish everything Naria?" Alyna was dumbfounded by the variety of desserts that this little sister ordered. Just how big is her appetite.
"That's right, your stomach might hurt if you try to eat all of this" Sanna can't help but worry even if she's tempted to do the same thing. These delicious pieces are just so tempting to look at.
"Don't worry, it's for all of us to share and we can just take them back if we cannot finish everything" Naria assured them, but she knew she can finish everything.
Eversince the system got activated, her appetite increased a lot. It feels like the system is using her energy to operate. As her cells got more efficient, it also requires constant supply of fuel. Good thing she never lacks good quality food. And today, even this sugar rush will just be used in an instant.
...
Jardin had the worst day of his life.
He always does what he pleases and never get reprimanded even if he tried bully someone, but just several days ago someone tried to meddle with his business.
He got into a fight and lost miserably. The next day, he brought with him several men to teach the guy a lesson but to his astonishment, that guy managed to defeat them all and left them in disdain.
When his family learned about what happened, instead of siding with him, they berated him real bad. That's when he was informed that the one he wanted to get revenged into is actually a student from the special class. That student was actually a royalty that was specially invited to take part in the project of the government and they can't afford to offend them.
His family has close ties with the government, although they are still far from knowing highly confidential information but they're still privy to some of it. Him offending those students might place their family in peril.
The truth is, it's not just him, but most student of Corvin looked down to these outsiders. So he really can't understand why they have to grovel and please them.
Just as he was walking in the capital, he saw some exchange students. His blood, which had not yet calmed down suddenly boiled to its peak. But he tried to keep it in.
He decided to relax himself in a cafe. As manly as he is, he actually likes coffee and sweets. This can make his mood merry.
...
The waiter placed the last of their order and was about to go back when he bumped to a customer.
Naria and the two girls looked into the man the waiter bumped into. He had such an exaggerated reaction that makes them notice him even if they don't want to.
Compared to the good natured looking waiter, the man who reacted stood more than six feet tall with gym fit body but not bulky, and is exuding a dangerous air. He may have been handsome if not for his frown and annoyed look. And he seriously look a bit out of place in this kind of establishment.
Sanna and Alyna can't help but shiver seeing the man.
Ember kept an amused look. The man may look dangerous to ordinary people but for her, he jus looks like a cat who got his tail stepped on.
"What are you looking at!" the man turned to them and shouted.
"Sir, I'm really sorry if I had not seen you but please don't scare the customers" the waiter apologized sincerely and calmly.
"Hmp, useless bastard. You have to compensate for the trouble you caused me and you, accompany me" the man asked for Sanna to accompany him.
Sanna further hid herself in the corner of the seat even if it's useless. In all her years in their country, she never experienced this kind of treatment. She's always surrounded by her servants and friends if in school. Her status doesn't allow such insolence so she didn't know how to cope up with this kind of situation.
Alyna with her straightforward personality, gathered up her courage and stood in front of the man.
"Insolent, don't you know who we are. Shut your mouth and leave us alone or else you'll be punished " Unfortunately, Alyna is not in her own country and this kind of threat won't work.
The man sneered and laughed diabolically. He ignored Alyna's threat and extended his hand to get Sanna. But before he can do so, he felt someone held his wrist. He tried to swat away the hand that held him but to his surprise he couldn't.
Before the the filthy man's hand reaches Sanna, Ember decided to act out.
"It's our pleasure meeting you Jardin Dalton. If you'd like you can join us properly and have a nice talk, you do not have to act as someone who desperately wanted to meet his needs" Ember smiled chillingly but only Jardin can feel the horror of it. Her grip is wrenching his bones that he didn't know where she's getting the force out of her small body.
"You-, did you just, hmp" Jardin will never admit that he got scared to this girl. She's seriously strong and weird. She's channeling an aura like the soldiers he met once. Cold and ruthless.
He didn't bother to make further trouble and left right away the moment the girl let go of his hand.
The moment Ember tried to stop the man she called Jardin, Alyna and Sanna almost got a heart attack. This little sister of them sure has a bigger courage than them. But the man is just to scary and they're afraid he will squash her any second now. They can't help but wonder why the man suddenly left as if seeing a ghost.
Naria didn't do anything impressive but she scared the man away, but they're still thankful that the episode has passed.
