My Celestial Ascension-Chapter 509: Once Again At The Enchanted Tavern
"Lady Natasha, since you've given us such a big discount, how about I invite you to my restaurant for a meal as a token of appreciation?" Mireya said with a smile, gently grabbing her hands with both of hers.
As soon as Mireya uttered those words, a wide grin appeared on Lady Natasha's face. "Since the owner of 'The Enchanted Tavern' personally invited me to dine, who am I to refuse such an offer?"
"By the way, Mireya, since you've invited me to dine in your restaurant, I take it that you must have prepared something rare and exquisite."
"You have sharp eyes for things like this, Natasha. You truly are a businesswoman… a terrifying one at that," Mireya said with a wide smirk on her face.
"Fufu~ I'll take that as a compliment… You're also quite terrifying, too." Lady Natasha laughed, then her expression returned to normal. "So, what is today's special?"
"Blood Fang Boar…" Mireya uttered nonchalantly, as if it was quite normal.
"…"
Lady Natasha stared at her with a blank expression and blinked a few times, looking dumbfounded.
"W-Wh-What did you just say?!" Lady Natasha shouted a few seconds later, with a look of disbelief and shock on her face.
"I said 'Blood Fang Boar,' which is today's specialty. You won't find this menu again for who knows how long. So, are you coming or not?" Mireya asked with a calm look on her face, as if she were talking about ordinary monster meat that can be found anywhere.
"B-Blood Fang Boar? For real?" Lady Natasha couldn't help but look at Mireya in disbelief. She still found it hard to believe.
"For real." Mireya nodded with a straight face.
Seeing the seriousness in Mireya's eyes, Lady Natasha had no choice but to believe her words.
After all, Blood Fang Boar is an extremely rare SS-rank monster that can't be found nowadays, and its meat is considered a delicacy, sold at auction houses due to how rare and expensive it is. Even a noble like her can't buy it, no matter how much money she has. Now Mireya said it's today's specialty on her restaurant's menu. It was hard to believe.
However, looking at the seriousness in Mireya's eyes, there was no chance that she was lying. How could she lose such a legendary opportunity? There was no way she would refuse this invitation.
"Count me in! And I'll go with you guys if you don't mind me coming along," Lady Natasha said in a very serious voice, her excitement evident on her face.
Upon hearing this, a wide smirk appeared on Mireya's face. "Then let's leave at once. After all, we've just now decided on the special dish. Fufu~!"
Lady Natasha was surprised to hear this and looked at one of her servants. She said with a commanding tone, "I'll tag along with my guest for a meal at 'The Enchanted Tavern.' Take care of the shop while I'm gone."
"As you wish, My Lady. Please leave everything to us," one of the servants said, bowing her head.
Just as Lady Natasha was about to head out, she remembered something and immediately turned around.
"Oh, one more thing: deliver the dress I've left on my desk to the Royal Palace and give it to Princess Fiona before dawn," Lady Natasha said before leaving the shop with Yuan and his wives.
After walking for a while, enjoying the beautiful afternoon atmosphere of the Noble District, Yuan and his wives arrived at the massive restaurant, 'The Enchanted Tavern,' which is owned by none other than Yuan's wife, Mireya.
"The Enchanted Tavern—it's been a while since I had my last meal here. I'm looking forward to today's meal. After all, a chance to taste such rare meat for free is quite rare, almost non-existent. Fufu~" Lady Natasha giggled, feeling very excited and extremely lucky to get such a rare opportunity.
"Well, I'm not sure how long it's been since you last dined at my restaurant, since Sylvia and I were away from the capital city, but today you can eat to your heart's content," Mireya smiled and entered her restaurant shortly.
"Welcome back, My Lady—oh, it appears that you've brought guests with you," one of the employees immediately recognized Mireya and greeted everyone with a welcoming smile.
"Prepare the most luxurious VIP room for us, and send someone to my office to pick up something," Mireya ordered the employee before heading toward her office, which was on the top floor of the building.
Yuan and his wives, as well as Lady Natasha, Little Zoe, and Miss Zara, followed her to her office since the VIP room was being prepared for them.
They sat on the sofa inside Mireya's office and chatted for a while as they waited for the VIP room to be cleaned and prepared for them to enjoy.
Shortly, one of the employees came in and greeted everyone with a smile before fixing her gaze on Mireya. "My Lady, did you call for me?"
"Indeed. We want you to take the rare piece of meat that we have and order the chef to cook it for us," Mireya said to the employee, then turned her head toward Yuan.
Yuan quickly stood up and retrieved a massive chunk of Blood Fang Boar meat from his system storage, which shocked Lady Natasha and the employee as they saw the massive chunk of fresh meat appear out of thin air onto the table.
'T-This is my second time watching this miracle…how did he do it?' Lady Natasha looked at Yuan with curiosity.
'W-Who is this handsome young man? How did he do it??' The employee looked at Yuan with a surprised look on her face before she fixed her eyes on the meat.
"T-This is… This is the meat of the Blood Fang Boar, which is extremely rare! And this chunk of meat is so huge!" The employee was shocked as she carefully examined the chunk of meat, almost unable to believe her eyes.
'Mireya didn't lie to me, it's indeed the meat of a Blood Fang Boar, which is extremely rare…I did the right thing by accepting her invitation.' Lady Natasha looked at Mireya with a smile.
'If other nobles get to know this, they will rush over here to buy it… they won't even hesitate to kill someone to get a small chunk of meat!'
"That's right. It's the meat of the Blood Fang Boar. Now go and order the chef to cook some dishes using this meat to the best of his ability," Mireya ordered the employee.
"As you wish, My Lady." The employee nodded and quickly left the office room, carrying the chunk of meat with an excited look on her face.
After the employee left the room, Mireya sat in her seat and looked at the paperwork for a while as Yuan and his wives, as well as Miss Zara, had a little chat with Lady Natasha.
A few moments later, someone knocked on the door and informed them that the luxurious VIP room was ready for them.
Upon hearing this, Mireya put the documents away and stood up from her seat. Then she looked at Yuan and his wives, as well as the others, with a smile on her face.
"The VIP room is ready. Let's go over there, enjoy ourselves, and wait for our meal to arrive."
Mireya then led them all to the VIP room she had ordered her employees to prepare. It was the most luxurious VIP room available in her restaurant, and it was also the most expensive one.
To book this room, one would have to pay 800 gold coins. Mostly high-ranking aristocrats and influential merchants booked this room to enjoy a meal with their families or discuss important business with their clients.
A couple of seconds later, they all arrived at the luxurious VIP room Mireya had arranged for them to enjoy the luxurious meal in peace. The grandeur of the VIP room could only be described as extremely beautiful, with many rare and precious decorative items used to adorn the space.
"I've eaten here so many times, but this is the first time I'm stepping inside the most luxurious VIP room of your restaurant, Mireya… and it's absolutely mind-blowing!" Lady Natasha mumbled in a dazed voice, seemingly surprised by the grandeur of the interior.
"Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment, Lady Natasha," Mireya giggled proudly, as she had used a substantial amount of gold coins to decorate this room, after all.
"Now relax everyone, and do whatever you want," Mireya said, sitting beside Yuan and making him rest his head on her thighs. "Do you feel comfortable, my dear?" she asked with a shy smile on her face.
"I feel very relaxed, Mireya," Yuan smiled sweetly at her, making her blush even more, though inwardly feeling very happy.
'They're indeed a husband and wife; they even start flirting before my eyes… Is Mireya trying to make fun of me being still single? That can't be…!' Lady Natasha thought, feeling a little jealous of Mireya.
Some time later, the chef entered the room along with a few servers carrying food in both hands.
"Sorry for taking some time preparing food, I was a little busy preparing food for another VIP room," the chef said with an apologetic expression on his face, bowing slightly toward Mireya.
"It's fine, you're doing your job, so let's not dwell on that and arrange the dishes on the dining table," Mireya said with a smile.
"As you wish, My Lady."
The servers then quickly placed all the dishes on the table and went back to the kitchen to bring the rest of the dishes. Mireya had ordered the chef to prepare the food in a large quantity as she was already aware of the appetite of Yuan and his other wives, especially Xi Meili, who could eat a lot.
"Let's start eating, I feel quite hungry!" Xi Meili exclaimed before she began stuffing her face with food without waiting for the others.
'This girl…Which race does she belong to? I've never seen horns like hers before…' Lady Natasha looked at Xi Meili with curiosity.
Seeing Xi Meili, everyone else also began eating and was amazed by the exquisite taste of the meat from the Blood Fang Boar. It was very tender and juicy with lots of flavor.
Shortly, the servers returned with the remaining dishes and placed them on a second table, as the first one didn't have enough space to hold all the dishes. After that, the servers left the room.
