It was now time for lunchbreak, and Draxus felt a little excited for the first time. Ever since he was summoned, he was pretty much eating food that's either cooked by friends or himself, royal chefs, or homely inns. Thus he most likely missed the food back in Earth. "Ah... It's been ages since I wandered around this place. It's still bustling with people as ever." Draxus was carrying the tube that's meant to be used as their cover from being detected by the council in his breast pocket. This doubled up in becoming completely undetected in their magic presence. He remained faithful to his task on answering the questions of his fiancés on the structures of Earth and how things work around here. Most of them were asking about the vehicles and how they function without magic. Draxus carefully answered everything without going for a deep dive explanation. Eventually, they arrived to a nearby restaurant. Considering it was lunch hours, there were students ordering around here and there. The location of the restaurant was nearby the school of prestige that the archons, and the rest of Preeliance higher ups were going to school. The group took a larger table that could fit all seven of them without issue. There is a minor issue though.
"Are people staring at us?" Olivia took notice on the people around them. Students, employees, and families glanced over them a couple times. Guys were staring because of the beauty of various girls around him. But gazes also gathered towards Draxus. Mostly filled to the brim with jealousy. "Ah... I understand this gaze..." Wendy was grinning as she had seen this kind of scenario when playing certain games before. "Yep, jealous gazes. To be surrounded by many girls, you sure have a lot of guts Drax." Drax could only look into the menu after checking what he wanted to order. It wasn't only male students that have been staring at them, thinking about trying to hit on the girls. But female students who are around were curious to see somebody like Draxus who had a both soothing and elegant appearance for a guy. After each girl has selected the food on the menu, Draxus called in for a waiter to take their order. The employee looked somewhat young, but Wendy recognized her immediately. "Uh... Hi Linda..." The atmosphere became instantly awkward between them. The waited chatted a little bit with the group while taking their order, specifically Wendy and Draxus. "I'm glad you're safe Wendy... It seems Sir Heimdal has taken you in?" After hearing more details between the conversation, Draxus realized that they were cousins. "Sir Heimdal, I hope you can take care of her while she's residing in your mansion. She plays a few Otome games, but I hope you can tolerate that." Cracks were heard from Draxus's wrist, he let out an internal scream while he made a calm reply to the waiter after they gave their orders. "Understandable, she got like, exiled from her home right? There's no need to worry about repaying me either." When they returned the menu to her, Wendy's cousin took notice in their ring fingers. In her mind, she was somewhat shocked to see her cousin engaged to somebody older than her. But seeing as Draxus is rich and independent, she didn't say anything against it. She only smiled as she felt relieved after taking the order. But in her mind, she was thinking something in the lines of: "So she got herself a rich fiancé just a few months after she was kicked out from her home... I wonder what they will have to say about that..." She returned to the kitchen to quickly take the order. Luckily enough, she didn't take notice of the engagement rings the other girls have. Some men might've seen them already, and just gritted their teeth. This was especially in the case of Olivia and Gwen, as they're just barely in the marriageable age standards of the country.
"Ahh... That was a good lunch, I never thought I'd be able to enjoy food made from restaurants back in my world again." Draxus enjoyed the lingering aftertaste of the food after they left the establishment. He stretched his arms and body to avoid getting himself in slight body issues after what he did in the restaurant.
Carbonated drinks are non-existent in the world he currently lives in. But he does have the slight bit of knowledge on how to make them. Seeing as it was almost one year ever since he had cola, he had no choice but to order a large cup just for it. "It was quite delightful experiencing new taste. And here I thought the royal palace chefs were the best in their field." Olivia was somewhat surprised as to think about what kind of things were added to the ingredients to make it taste a lot better. "Well, this restaurant does have a Michelin Star, but it's not as professional as big time restaurants that even I haven't visited yet." Wendy let out her comment as she felt nostalgic after leaving the restaurant. "By the way, where do we go next Drax?" Julie took notice as Draxus seemed to have nothing to do for the time being. "I've thought about introducing everyone to my parents... But there's still salt in between us... So I don't think we will visit them for today..." The girls felt a little gloomy as they have heard from Wendy that he was pretty much used by his own parents for their own benefit. "However, there should be a shopping mall nearby, how about we all go shopping altogether?" Draxus asked them for their opinions on what to do. They quickly decided on it as they began walking to the nearby mall. Once again, the group was filled with excitement despite already feeling great satisfaction after having their lunch in a restaurant.
In the meantime though, a group of friends took notice of Draxus and thought about planning something to surprise him. "He finally decided to show his face to the public, he was summoned to some other place before right? He didn't even give us any update as to what he's up to now." A guy with similar height and body structure to Draxus was smiling calmly as he remembered something. "He's grown quite rich from what I've heard." He glanced over to one girl and began teasing her. "Seems like he's went and left you behind." The girl sighed and spoke in response to the guy. "Enough of those jokes. Still, do you guys want to speak to him? He's heading to the mall right?" Another girl nodded as she recalled what they're supposed to do. "Yeah, we're gonna meet the other alumnus in the mall right? Let's tell them that Drax is here, but then Sera isn't around yet, we should ask him about her." There was another girl in the group that was a little too busy on her phone, but she did recognize who was the person the three of them were talking about.
