"What's wrong, Kai?" Amber returned with two tea cups in her hands and asked Kai curiously.
"Nothing." He shook his hand and took one of the cups from Amber's hand. "Thanks. I just felt like soone was talking behind my back. But I think it's just my imagination as the people are talking to each other. Maybe I heard it wrong."
He turned around and looked at the crowd of happy people walking down the street. So of them were talking with their friends, and sotis a word that was similar to his na was uttered. So he just brushed his feelings off.
"Hmm, is that so?" The Phoenix girl humd as she sipped the tea from the straw. "This is good, but I think the tea that little fox made was still better."
Kai tried to sip the tea through the straw to taste it. And just like what Amber had said, the tea Rena made was indeed better than this one. Still, this had a unique taste, and he still liked it.
"This one tastes similar to earl gray. It's still better than a normal tea, though." He said, taking another sip.
"Well, this will be good to be put on the nu in my restaurant. The taste complents each other and is refreshing. It will give the person a refreshing feeling to cleanse their palate after eating a Mapo Tofu."
"You're right!" The Phoenix girl exclaid. "Indeed, this is good."
They talked about whether they should put it on the nu and how they should do it as they continued walking to the arena. There were a lot of problems regarding putting this tea on the nu, such as how they could secure the tea leaves and the others.
Also, they might like the refreshing taste of the tea, but they didn't know how the others would react to it. Kai's Chinese restaurant had a traditional feeling, and the recipes hadn't changed since the previous generation.
The chances were the regular custors wouldn't like the change instead of liking it. So maybe they could put it on trial for a few days before deciding on whether they should put it on the nu.
While Kai was totally interested and had joined the Supernatural World, he still didn't forget about his job and passion. Cooking was sothing he liked and would like to pursue further. His restaurant still beca his dear place where he could rest after a long day in Supernatural World.
That was why he would always turn serious if the talk was related to his restaurant. He would make no spare effort to make his restaurant bigger and more successful.
As they talked about it, they arrived at the place where people gathered, in front of the arena. So people from Devil and Vampire races chose to watch from the restaurant's second floor around the arena.
From their clothing alone, Kai could see that they were important or rich people, different from those who tried to watch the show from the ground. It was like they were of a higher caste than the others.
When he guessed where such people ca from and what their position was in their society, a voice suddenly rang from his right.
"Hey, are you interested in those people?"
"Hmm?" Kai turned to his right, and his eyes t a pair of obsidian eyes looking at him with interest.
The person was the owner of the voice. She had long hair and slightly pointed ears. Behind her back was a pair of bat wings and a slick black tail moving around.
Her body was only hidden by sothing that looked like slightly erotic black clothes that exposed her cleavage created by two bountiful breasts made from shiny material. Her face was also unnaturally beautiful, with flawless and unblemished skin.
She could beco a successful model just by her beauty if she wanted to. And from the look alone, Kai could imdiately judge her race.
'A Devil?'
He was a bit surprised because he was called out suddenly, but he kept his calm face. Amber held him a bit tightly and narrowed her eyes slightly, but she didn't say anything. So he answered accordingly.
"A little bit." He smiled a little at the female Devil in front of him. "Do you know who they are?"
"I know." The girl nodded. "I am ryl, by the way. Nice to et you." She extended her hand with a smile, which Kai took.
"I am Kai."
The female Devil, ryl, nodded once again as she released her hand and turned to the Devil guy, who watched the arena from the restaurant's second floor. He had long black hair and wore a rather nice suit. His red eyes looked at the arena with interest, accompanied by a small smile on his face.
"Back to the topic, the man over there is soone from one of the 72 Noble houses. His na is Silvi Valac. Then, over there." She turned to another man who sat on the restaurant's second floor across the street.
Soone was sitting there, a girl with long lustrous blonde hair and a pair of deep red eyes. Her long black dress donned her body, showing her curves. She opened her mouth a little, and a pair of fangs jutted out a little.
"She's the daughter of Count Salvatore, a noble Vampire. Her na is Sophie Salvatore. Both of them are guests invited by the Oni chief. That's why they have a VIP seat on the second floor." She continued her explanation before turning back to Kai. "Is that all you wanted to know?"
"Thank you, that explanation really helped. In short, they are important people, and I shouldn't ss with them, right?" Kai said and threw so jokes at the end, causing ryl to giggle.
"You're a funny guy, Kai." She said, "You asked as if you were ignorant about them, but you threw so jokes that can put you in trouble if they hear you."
"That's really dangerous then." He countered. "Fortunately, I am not heard. Will you keep it a secret from them?"
"I can't promise," ryl replied playfully as she put her index finger on her mouth. "Maybe if you buy a al, then I can consider it."
"You got that."
"Fufufu, alright then." She turned her attention back to the arena. "Ah! The show is about to start." With a shrill voice, she turned back to Kai. "See you later, Kai. I will wait for the al."
Without waiting for him to reply, ryl went to the restaurant on the right and entered it. It didn't take long for Kai to register what had happened as he saw the female Devil appear on the second floor and sit beside the said important guest, Silvi Valac.
A wry smile crept into his face as ryl secretly waved her hand toward him with a playful smile.
"I've been had… So she's also a Noble Devil from one of the 72 houses?" He muttered.
"She is. How is it eting a noble Devil for the first ti?" Amber's voice didn't help him a little bit. He shrugged his shoulders and turned his attention to the arena.
"Quite an experience. I never knew they could joke around."
"Fufufu. You're fortunate she's a playful girl."
"Yeah, I am."
He just made a joke about the noble in front of a noble. What a day. He sincerely hoped it wouldn't get any worse than this.
