I waited for a while at the door of Dulles, and then I saw Bai Yueguang leading everyone over with a gloomy face.
"You look exhausted~" I said with a smile.
"Nonsense, you should try it next time!" he replied.
"Well~ I actually have tried it before," I said.
"Then why did you say that?" he asked.
"I'm just happy~" I replied.
Bai Yueguang's expression immediately twisted.
"It seems like I need to teach you a lesson to correct your quirky personality," he said.
"Next time, maybe. Someone is waiting for us to have a meal, we can't make them wait," I said with a smile.
"After all, someone is treating us," I added.
"Ah, that's true," Bai Yueguang nodded, but Hei Luoli next to him was very excited.
"Hehehe~ Watch me finish three days' worth of food in one go!"
"Hey hey hey, don't exaggerate like that, remember your manners!" I said.
"I know that! I used to be a princess!" Hei Luoli replied.
"A princess?" I asked.
"What's wrong? Are you surprised to see me with such an incredible look?" she questioned.
"Of course! I don't see any princess temperament in you at all, you're completely like a female hooligan," I teased.
"Hmpf, you're the hooligan, your whole family are hooligans!" she retorted.
"...Who taught you that?" I asked.
"Hmm? Bai did," she replied.
"Look at what you've taught her! She turned from a princess into a hooligan!" I said.
"Why am I innocently involved! Are you itching for a fight today? Come, let's fight!" he challenged.
"No, I want to eat," I rejected him with a very righteous reason, and then walked into the restaurant.
"You...," Bai Yueguang wanted to say something, but he saw everyone following me into the restaurant.
"Alright, you win," he sighed helplessly, and followed us inside.
Compared to the monotonous white walls outside, the luxurious decoration inside the restaurant instantly elevated its grade. As an ordinary person, I admit that I don't understand those paintings on the walls and the artworks placed next to them. But I am very clear about the crystal necklaces and gold jewelry displayed in the showcases, not to mention the chandeliers made of magical stones of different colors, which greatly enhanced the overall style of the restaurant.
And upon closer inspection, the pitch-black walls were actually made of the rare alchemical material obsidian! If Lanya saw this, she would definitely want to take the entire wall away, wouldn't she?
"Hello, are you looking for someone or here to dine?" a waiter walked out from the side room and asked us with a smile.
The attire of this waiter is quite similar to those in Western restaurants in our world. I wonder if this is the dress code for waiters in this western restaurant or if someone else has started importing things from our world to this one.
"Oh, do you also provide a service to find someone here?" I responded with a smile.
"No, no, I mean meeting here. After all, there are very few mercenaries who come here for dining... I'm not saying that mercenaries cannot dine here, but based on the comparison between their salary and the prices of this place, it is not a good dining place for mercenaries," the waiter answered politely, showing that the restaurant has trained its waiters very professionally to deal with these questions.
And it's not just about training in word-of-mouth. It's quite a treat to have a level 40 assassin as the receptionist at the door. Is the boss of this shop a level 100 boss or something? That can't be possible, otherwise any Warcraft invasion would be resolved in minutes... After all, they also have to run the shop, right?
"Really, if I say anything more after hearing you say that, I'll seem tactless. Alright, I'm here to see Lord Jans, my name is Felieux."
"Please wait a moment."
The person on the other side bowed and then took out a book from behind the counter to look at it.
"Hmm... That's right, Lord Jans has reserved Room 1, and the guest wrote down Yurifili and his companions... Oh, Mr. Felieux, could you please ask your companions to register their names? Otherwise, we cannot register the data."
"Alright... Bai Yueguang, you guys handle it yourselves."
"Well, it's just a name."
'Just write anything.'
He said that out loud, but he whispered to me privately. Well, no one is checking your ID or anything...
Once everyone finished writing their names, the waiter nodded and made a gesture towards us.
"Please follow me, the other guest has already arrived, and I believe Lord Jans will be here soon as well."
"Another guest?"
"She's also a mercenary, but her relationship with Lord Jans is quite special."
"Oh~"
Upon hearing my response, the person walked and spoke at the same time.
"Well, I don't know what you're thinking, but it's definitely not what you think."
"Oh, is that so? I can't judge right now, but just let me take a look and I can probably guess half of it."
"It seems Mr. Felieux is very confident in his own eyesight."
"Well, of course. Kov Mados-san, your bounty in Ovira is still valid. While enthusiasm is important, if you can't restrain your desire to kill, the consequences can be quite bad."
"..."
The person suddenly stopped.
After a moment of pause, they turned their head slightly and said,
"It seems Mr. Felieux not only has confidence in his eyesight, but also in his abilities."
"It's not that much."
I shrugged.
"I don't know much about assassins, but I have people in my group who excel at it. Also, be careful not to move, or Oyado's dagger will stab you."
"What...?"
It was at this moment that the person realized that the blade that was hidden in their sleeve was missing. Where did it go? Naturally, Oyado was holding it against their neck with a handkerchief.
"When did this happen... It seems I still have much to learn. I was actually subdued by a child."
"Don't worry about it. Some people die without even knowing what happened. My sister is quite formidable, you know. Usually, the other party doesn't even realize that something has happened when they die."
"Is that so... Haha, then I should be grateful I didn't directly attack you, or else I'd be missing my head."
"I don't think you would do that. These expensive carpets and walls, I can't afford to pay for any damage."
"You always pay attention to such strange things... Alright, can you please bring your sister down now? We're almost at our destination."
"That's right, Oyado~"
"Mhm!"
Oyado jumped down from the wall and walked behind me.
"Cough, alright, this way is Room 1."
Continuing forward, we arrived at a door adorned with a white gemstone shaped like a '1'. I lightly knocked on it, then pushed the door open.
"Please come in."
