"Welcome. How many persons?" Asked the server when Loriel and Elise entered the ramen shop.
Loriel wanted to roll his eyes when he heard the question which he considered stupid.
'Can't you see? Don't you have eyes? There's only me and this stunningly beautiful princess here! Iisshh... So, of course, it's a table for two!'
However, Loriel didn't want to give a bad impression in front of Elise, so he smiled sweetly and replied to the server's question by raising two fingers. "Two people, please."
The server batted her eyes for a few seconds when she realized this was the same man who often came to this ramen shop to eat alone and always had a curt expression on his face.
Yet, today he looked beaming and very friendly?
What sorcery was this?
"Yes?" Loriel's voice moved the server from her reverie.
She cleared her throat, stole a glance at Elise, and put two and two together. She motioned them to follow her. "This way, please."
