"Why do you suddenly acting like this? Can you please let my hand go?" Ludger was afraid of Favian.
"No, I have decided that I want to learn from you. It was only a few hours talking with you and I have seen so many new things that I would never think of before! You are like a treasure box for me as you keep showing me a lot of things and I will also help you when you try to do some research later." Favian excitedly said as he still grabs Ludger's hand to not let him run away.
Ludger feels pressured by Favian passionate request. And he could also feel the madness that was hidden in his gaze. Ludger tries to get help from Hudson but he quickly looks in another direction.
"Umm, how about we just act as if we are in an equal standing? Why do you want me to become your teacher? I can't teach you anything." Ludger decided to act like a low-profile person.
But it is already too late. Even if he keeps acting in a low-profile manner from today onwards, he will never be able to make Favian lose his respect. Everything that he show them was not something normal in this world but Ludger never thought that it was not normal because of the memories about another world make him think it was something normal.
"Then how about I only call you teacher when you are in my laboratory?" Favian ask.
"Haa..., do whatever you want." Ludger finally understands that he could only let him to do what he wants because he knows that he can't talk with a crazy person.
"Then, do you need something for your research? I will try to prepare it for you and notify you when the ingredients have been gathered." Favian said with shining eyes.
'I think that I could see the imaginative tail waging vigorously behind him.' Ludger thought.
Ludger looks around the laboratory. Although he feels burdened by Favian passion (?) but he also wants to make something that he could not make before. After thinking about what he wanted to make he decided to choose something that will be useful for Red Dawn.
'I will need to pay something if I want to get something.' Ludger remembers the words in the elementary books that he read before.
"Then I currently need some soybeans, ripe one is better than the young one. Then I also need some rice or barely. If you are able to get it, I also need some seawater but if it was hard to get, just water and salt will be enough. Oh right, I also need some wheat or wheat flour. And if it's possible, could you make some corn flour?" Ludger decided to get whatever he could get from Favian.
"I will gather everything as fast as possible." Favian nodded while writing down the ingredients.
"So, we only need to look for the information and ingredients that you need, right?" Hudson said with a bit of tiredness in his voice.
"Why do you act like you are the one that has to gather everything?" Ludger feels confused by Hudson's action.
"Because he obviously will ask me to make the request for the adventurer guild to gather every ingredient that you want, Boy." Hudson explains with a tired tone.
"..." Ludger feel sorry for the trouble that he will cause to the adventurers for his needs.
After deciding on each other jobs, Hudson sent Ludger back to Red Dawn. When he arrived at Red Dawn, he was quite surprised because there was a queue at the restaurant entrance.
Ludger looks at the queue and mutters. "Did I miss something? How could it suddenly be like this? There should be no media social in this world, right?"
Ludger try to go into the restaurant but he was stopped by the people queueing.
"Even if you are a child, you still need to queue if you want to eat in this restaurant! I won't let you go inside and jump in the queue." The queueing customer said.
"But my mom is working here. I want to help her because I saw how busy she was today." Ludger answers while wearing a sincere and innocent child expression.
"The boy really helping in this restaurant. I could proof it for you if you don't believe me." Hudson helps him to prove his identity and lets them to let him in.
"Huh?! Guild master, why are you doing here? And why do you come with this little boy?" A customer that seems to be adventurers surprised and shouted.
'Huh?! He is the guild master!?' Ludger looks at Hudson with a surprised face.
"Ah, I just thought that I should let the boy know when he decided to take the apprenticeship in the adventurer guild later., Hudson said while awkwardly scratching his head.
"Do you think that I won't know about it if I live in this city for two more years?" Ludger shook his head and look at Hudson's mischief face.
"Ludger, did you have finished the important matter? Thank you for accompanying this child back to Red Dawn, Mr. Hudson." Katarina come out of the restaurant and saw Ludger and Hudson.
"Eh! This boy is really working here?!" Some customers are surprised because they couldn't believe that a young and beautiful woman like Katarina has a child as old as Ludger.
"Do you need me to help you, Mom?" Ludger asks with a worried face.
"You haven't eaten any lunch, right? Why don't you eat something first in the kitchen." Katarina said and inspecting Ludger's appearance.
Ludger went to the kitchen and eat his lunch. Caron looks at Ludger come into the kitchen.
"Ludger, you have come back at the right time!" Caron happily said.
"What happened? Why do so many people suddenly come here in such a short time?" Ludger couldn't understand why the information about this restaurant spreading quickly.
From what Ludger was planning, it will need around a week to be able to get as famous as what currently happens. Ludger did not calculate that the people that come to the restaurant last night were spreading the news about the delicious food to other people.
In this world that lacks of entertainment like in the modern Earth, new and delicious food was something that is able to cheer them up. And yesterday, Ludger also tells some of the customers about the importance of a good diet for their health. As Ludger told them that Katarina's current appearance was because of her balance diet, the customers (especially the females) become interested in the healthy food that Ludger said.
Caron told Ludger about what happened this morning. After Ludger left the Red Dawn with Hudson and Favian, Caron and Katarina open the restaurant. The first customers were a group of women that hears the story about their food from their husbands or family members that work at the merchant guild and become interested.
They hear their husbands or family members tell them about the effects of the food if they consume it often. They are curious and want to see Katarina who has eaten the food for years. As they saw Katarina's appearance, they become interested and want to try it too.
After the group of women taste the delicious food, they spread the story to their friends and family members. Their social network is quite large in this city. That's why the story spread quickly.
Although the women's group influence was quite big but it was not enough to create the current condition. Only half of them were because of the women group. The other half was because of the adventurer guild worker that come to the restaurant last night.
They tell some adventurers about the new menu in Red Dawn and told them that their guild master is interested in the boy that helping in this restaurant. But because Hudson and Favian took Ludger to the alchemy guild, they were only able to meet with Caron and Katarina.
Most of them who have lived for at least a year in this city have heard or know about Caron. But they were surprised by Katarina's beautiful and elegant appearance. Most of the male adventurers started to spread her beauty and make most of the single men in this city become interested and come to the Red Dawn to look at her beauty.
As Ludger hear about what happened, his face becomes darker.
"Those pervert men! How dare they to look at my Mom with their dirty gaze!" Ludger mutter in a low tone.
"Don't worry, Mr Hudson seems to have warned them just now." Katarina come into the kitchen and said it to calm Ludger down because she hears their conversation.
"I think I will need to make them know that you are my Mom and they should not try to do something weird to you or the owner." Ludger said with a sinister smile.
Caron and Katarina could only wish that those poor adventurers will be able to avoid their misfortune later.
But just when Ludger started to eat his lunch while thinking about how he made those perverted men stop looking at Katarina with their dirty gazes. They could hear a ruckus outside. They come out from the kitchen and saw a group of people wearing a robe come into the restaurant.
"Hey, you! How could you cut the line and enter the restaurant without queueing?" The customer that queueing getting angry at the robed group.
"We did not come here to eat but to find the boy who works here." One of the robed guys said with a loud voice.
Caron and Katarina were surprised and looked at Ludger.
