'Don't tell me all the customers here are lolicon?'
As soon as the thought formed, Arthur felt a shiver in his spine. He saw all the customers glaring at him intensely. It felt like he sullied their goddess with his presence.
"Hahaha, little fellow, are you really a daring young man or just plain stupid, looking at our inn's mascot so obviously. Are you so easily charmed by the pretty ladies?"
Turning his head in the direction of the voice, Arthur discovered a young woman looking at him. The twin peaks in her chest was full, yet not overwhelmingly large. Her legs were akin to the point of perfection, long with the bones in a straight line from thigh to her slim ankle. The outline of her legs curving in and out at key points, while her slender waist could be akin to that of a water snake, lithe and graceful. Her fair and slender neck was extremely sexy, and her fashion sense was neat and elegant. She had a charming, misty look in her black eyes, a nose akin to a jade and a little mouth adorned with full red lips that were slightly curled upwards.
"ah, my fair lady, beautiful things are there to be admired. I'm just a young man seeking relaxation in beauty." Arthur replied, in a seemingly self-righteous manner.
After he said that line, the ice cold bone-pierceing chill that he felt earlier also returned. This time he didn't turn around to look because he could feel bloodshot eyes of every male in the room glaring at him. They kept murmuring about various curse on him.
"Oh, you… This little brat is really interesting. To think that you could come up with such a reason for seeing beautiful girls."
"Little fellow, I wonder if I possess the qualifications to make you feast your eyes on me." The young lady flirtatiously teased Arthur.
"Oh my lovely lady, of course you fully deserve my attention. Please let me feast my eyes on you for all eternity, till the end of time, even after the oceans have dried up and the mountains crumbled away, I would still want to gaze upon your enchanting body features. Your beauty is akin to an work of art, a beautiful scenery!" Arthur seriously replied.
Arthur's words made the lady unable to hold back a laughter and the sound of her laughter made Arthur's heart go slightly numb. It was extremely comfortable to hear.
"Hey boss Mariko, please don't listen to his nonsense. This guy is full of warped logic. He was hitting on me just now, you see. Now he is hitting on you. For God's sake, there's no man who knows how to write the word 'loyalty' nowadays." The adorable little maid suddenly intervened them while cutely gesturing at Arthur.
Ah, what's this moe feeling. Every action of this little maid is like sweet nectar that fills one with boundless satisfaction. That's what Arthur felt seeing the little maid complain.
But Arthur suddenly had a evil idea. He decided to tease the little maid a little.
"What? Little maid, how dare you insult this noble young master? Don't you know who I am? I am the third son of city lord of the city, named Arthur Sherwood. How can you say that I am speaking nonsense? You know you can be punished for insulting a noble like me. Tell me what should I do to you now."
Arthur said that with a face full of darkness and menace.
When Arthur said that everyone looked at him like they were seeing an alien.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaah"
Everyone in the inn exclaimed loudly. They never thought that Arthur is actually a noble much less the son of city lord. The Arthur they pictured in their imagination is weak, ugly, perverted and obstinate. Although recently some new rumours about him surfaced, not everyone is convinced by it completely.
The little maid looked very terrified. She was already at the edge of crying, her big and round eyes turned watery.
"Waaah.. so-so-so--rry. I apologise for my earlier rudeness. If i knew you were young master, i would never have bothered you. Please fow-give me. Waaah... "
The pretty and adorable little maid could not hold back her tears and started crying out. Seeing this Arthur felt he had gone overboard with his teasing.
The beautiful young lady also looked at Arthur sternly. She knew that Arthur didn't mean harm. He was just teasing the little maid. But the little maid's pitiful appearance got her everyone's sympathy. If Arthur didn't stop right now, maybe everyone here will beat him up for making her cry.
"Ah? Umm.., you know what I will let this go. So stop crying quickly. By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Ya ya. I am the cutest maid in this city. Ta-Dan!" Said the maid while cutely posturing.
Arthur was speechless seeing her instant mood swings. Just a second ago she was sad and crying, now she is cheerful and bubbly. This change between character is too quick.
"Ah, so it's the legendary third young master, I heard that the wastrel from the guard was trounced by you. Good job!" The beautiful young woman giggled with laughter as she blinked her eyes. Just looking at her made Arthur feel slightly intoxicated.
Arthur did not expect his defeat of Reeves to spread so fast, even this young woman knew about it. Hmm, MARIKO'S INN, this woman was also called Mariko, could it be that this Inn belonged to her?
It did not take long for Arthur to figure out her identity though. From the whispers of the people that came to eat here he learned her identity. As he thought this young beautiful lady is indeed the owner of this inn.
"Let's go, we have a reserved room for special guests on top floor of this building. Let this meal be on me instead. Think of it as a compensation for Ya Ya's behaviour ." The young woman smiled as she led Arthur to the room.
The best seats were obviously at the top room of the building. Very quickly, they ascended to the top floor of the Mariko's Inn, and entered the room with windows that were facing the streets. Gazing out from this location enable one to take in the full sight of the luxurious street, and one could even see the impressive city walls far off in the horizon too.
Arthur found the spot very much to his liking. He then thanked the owner for providing such a nice seat.
