The much-anticipated moment had arrived tonight for Alfraed to unveil his innovative culinary creations for tasting. The young man reserved a suitable -the only one available- venue in the middle of the city. The carefully crafted invitations had been dispatched days in advance, the meticulous preparations had been executed, and the esteemed guests had assembled.
His mother, girlfriend, and elder siblings were seated at the same table, while the regular adventurers and representatives from the Association were gathered together. Merchants he knew, his employees, the children, and kittens were also in attendance.
Little did he know, an unexpected surprise awaited him.
"Fiona, why, is your father here?"
Alfraed asked in a nervous tone as he gestured subtly toward the owner of Hazelstar Group.
"... Because you asked me to find a challenging tester?"
