The four flavors of sour, spicy, sweet, and salty exploded in his mouth at the same time. Each flavor was so prominent, but when they blended together, it was so harmonious and delicious.
The soft eggplant melted in his mouth, and his taste buds rejoiced in the music of all kinds of flavors. He swallowed it gently, and the fragrance lingered in his mouth.
"This taste … is so meaty! Even real fish can't compare to this! " Rankster narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the eggplant with garlic sauce. He reached out his chopsticks unconsciously with a conflicted expression.
"Just one bite? Just one more! "
"Mmm … it smells so good!"
"One more bite."
"A little salty?"
"One bite of rice? Just one bite! "
"They're so compatible. Eat it all."
"This red braised pork is delicious too. It's soft and sticky, and there's a hint of sweetness in the sauce."
Harrison's dishes had just been served, and Rankster had already finished the three main dishes, one vegetable dish, and a big pot of rice in front of him.
Rankster touched his stomach, and felt that he was only 30% full.
So, he raised his hand again.
"Sir … finished eating?" Yabemiya walked over and looked at the empty plate in front of Rankster in shock.
Rankster nodded with a smile. "Yes, I want to serve all the dishes just now."
Mia shook her head slightly, and said, "The other three dishes are fine, but each customer can only order one serving of 'Buddha jumps over the wall'. You can change to another dish, like Peking Duck or something."
"Alright, then I'll take that." Rankster nodded. He thought for a while, and said, "Then I'll change the other three dishes to other dishes too …"
Rankster finally ordered all the dishes on Amy's menu for this meal, and finished them all.
"Uncle, you're amazing. You've done something I didn't dare to do." Harrison, who was watching the whole process, gave Rankster, who was touching his stomach with satisfaction, a thumbs-up.
Rankster smiled, and stood up to pay the bill. He took the takeout fried rice, and glanced at Yabemiya before leaving the restaurant.
"Is this the first customer to finish our menu?" Barbara clicked her tongue in wonder.
"That's right. His appetite is astonishing. It's not easy to feed himself." Angela nodded. If she could eat so much, she would have starved to death on the Demon Islands.
"This uncle … is quite interesting." Mia smiled and muttered to herself.
However, their busy work soon made them forget about this little episode.
…
Rankster looked at Elizabeth, who was eating her fried rice, with a smile, and asked, "By the way, do those ladies who work in the restaurant stay because they want to eat Boss's food for free every day?"
Elizabeth paused in the middle of eating, and looked at Rankster with a strange expression. She thought seriously for a while, and said, "Yes and no. The delicious food is the reason why they stayed, but what made them give up their original identities and stay in the restaurant to take on that seemingly simple job was the atmosphere of the restaurant. It was the feeling of home."
"Does it feel like home?" Rankster was deep in thought. He looked at Elizabeth in silence for a while. "You worked at Mamy's before, too?"
"Cough, cough, cough …" Elizabeth suddenly choked, and then started coughing.
Rankster quickly conjured a glass of iced water for her, and passed it over.
Elizabeth drank a few mouthfuls of water, and calmed down. She looked at the glass of iced water in her hand, and calmly said, "If it was Boss Meg, then this would be a glass of warm water."
Rankster scratched his head, and smiled awkwardly. "I've learned it."
Elizabeth finished all the fried rice on her plate, and put down her spoon. She looked at Rankster, and asked, "Father, when do you plan to reunite with Mia?"
A smile appeared in Rankster's eyes at the mention of Mia. "I saw her just now. She looks very obedient. She looks a little like you, but her temper is softer."
"Do you think my temper is bad?" Elizabeth asked.
"N-no." Rankster's expression froze again. "I mean, the hardships in life didn't make her depressed. This makes me very happy."
"So, when do you plan to reunite with her?"
"Let's do it today. I'll wait for her on her way home from work," Rankster said.
"Okay." Elizabeth nodded.
"See you tomorrow." Meg stood at the door, and waved at the girls as he watched the young and energetic girls leave.
"Do you think Rankster will reunite with Mia today?" Irina asked with a smile as she stood behind Meg with a glass of milk in her hand.
Meg turned around, and saw the milk stains on her lips. He nodded with a smile. "I think so. He's not a patient guy."
"What about you?" Irina licked her lips, and revealed a charming smile.
"Same for me." Meg closed the door, and then carried Irina in his arms.
"I'm just playing with you. I haven't finished my milk yet," Irina chided.
"It's alright. There will be plenty later."
…
On the long street, two figures stood against the moonlight. The girls who were about to return to the dormitory were alarmed.
Yabemiya stopped in her tracks immediately. Her eyes lit up when she saw the two figures. However, when her gaze landed on the tall figure, there was a hint of fear.
"It's Elizabeth?!" Gina exclaimed in surprise, and let down her guard.
"It's really Elizabeth!" Everyone quickly confirmed who the girl next to her was.
Barbara, however, narrowed her eyes as she looked at the man standing next to Elizabeth.
It was a familiar aura. She had seen this man before on the battlefront in the far north.
Rankster — that Frost Dragon who had caused a lot of trouble for the allied army. He was also Elizabeth's father.
Why did he appear in Chaos City? And why did he block their way?
"Everyone … You can go back first. I want to be alone with Elizabeth for a while," Mia said.
Although the girls were a little puzzled, they still went back to their dormitory and residence after bidding farewell to Elizabeth.
Only the three of them were left on the street.
"Mia!" Elizabeth walked up quickly, and hugged Mia.
When she was on the brink of death on the battlefront in the icy plain, she thought of Mia more. Her sister was one of the few people in this world who still cared and loved her.
"Big Sister." Yabemiya also hugged her tightly. She had missed and worried about her day and night, and finally got a perfect ending in this hug. It was naturally the best that her elder sister was fine.
After that, her gaze landed on that tall figure. Tears were already glistening in her eyes. She softly said, "H-is that him?"
