After the duel ended, I sheathed my blood sword just by diminishing it from my body, There I thanked White once again, along it's guild members, then once l leaving, White approached me
" Tomorrow, come to the Flower Manor, exactly morning, Roxy"
After that, I understand the message clearly, it was located in the Eastern District of Town Allure, where royal families resided, I suppose that, White was a high-ranking noble, despite it's status
I never stepped into the Eastern District before, but with the help of my adventurer token, I can bypass every tolls and guards in the district
" We meet again in the manor, Roxy"
I left the Central Plaza after White spoke that, there, the sun from the sky is setting,
After I stepped outside the central plaza gates, I heard a rumbling sound from my tummy, As expected, it was the sound of hunger
I can easily manage to control the urge of my Blood Curse ever since my first evolution, that meant that I was not craving for blood, but a single hunger from my tummy, and this time, it was food
Because of my hunger, I sprinted in the Merchant District of Allure, there I scanned the area, hoping to find nearby stalls to fulfill my hunger, and I happen to stumble a barbecue skewer stall, located between two stores,
" Oh my, I smell a sensing aroma"
The skewer stall was packed with customers, mostly ten people were waiting in line, hoping to taste that sweet barbecue at the stall, there I waited in line
While my face is drooling in the scent, one adventurer at the end of the line turned and looked behind me, It felt creepy at first, but he immediately recognized my face and shouted my name high
" Wait, is that, Roxy, the silver-ranked adventurer, the one who slained the spider queen all by herself"
After the adventurer said it's thing, nearby people from the crowd grew tense, Like they saw a popular celebrity in the stall, waiting hopelessly in line, I heard the crowd whispers, talking about me
" Indeed that is Roxy, she fought the leader of the Yellow Flower Guild, and she won".
" Look at her multi-colored eyes, and her sharp fangs, I can already tell that she is a skilled adventurer"
Hearing their whispers about me makes me uncomfortable, and yet, the people infront of the line spoke through me
" Roxy, take my line, I was not hungry"
There were only nine people in front of me, but they were shocked of knowing me as an silver-ranked adventurer, they politely leaves one by one inside the stall, leaving me alone in the counter,
Eventually, I made it infront of the line,
" Welcome, What can I get for you?"
At the top of the counter, there was a menu, there were a lot of flavor options, but I ordered one and only flavor from the menu, a herb-roasted skewer
" Ten herb-roasted skewer please"
" Okay, 1 silver please"
One skewer costs ten copper coins, it was inexpensive and cheaper that I anticipated, I was rewarded exactly five gold coins for killing the spider queen, making me rich, I gave one silver from the cashier
" Coming right up, Here you go!"
The service from this stall was fast, I got my skewer ready in less than a minute, there I hold a basket full of herb-roasted skewer, it's aroma struck through my mind, filling the scent with the herb-scented air
After I ordered a handful of skewers, I decided to return to my home, Where Mya was currently living, I bet she was worries about my disappearance, even I left the home, four hours ago
After seeping into the crowded place of the Merchant District, I safely returned to my home, it didn't change as usual, the meat shop didn't open almost a week, and the windows were sealed shut, I wonder what Mya was doing?
There, I reached the doorknob, it was unlocked, and the dim lights knew Mya was inside, the house was silent, like it has no people inside of it, there I shouted Mya name
" Mya, I'm home, I brought skewers"
Even I raised my voice high, Mya was still silent, I checked each of the rooms in my house, I knew that Mya has a brain of a twelve year old
After that, I reached my father's bedroom, where Mya was living in, I immediately opened the door
" Boo!!"
" Ah…"
Mya was hiding at the corner, wearing a white cloth that covered at his face, I was startled because Mya shook me
" Mya, you jumpscared me, you startled me to death"
" Haha…"
Mya laughter was cute at all, but it's costume resembles a ghost, it's remarkable due to its cloth-only apperance, There I scolded Mya for spooking me, then she apologized repeatedly
" So, what for dinner, Roxy?"
" Oh… we have skewers"
" Skewers!!, I can already tell the aroma"
Mya scent ability tells her cat abilities, she was half human, half animal, I can already tell her tail wagging like crazy, she was hungry,
" Mya, remove this costume of yours, I need to see your attire"
" Okay"
Then, she removed her thick white cloth, and through its cover, her outfit was stunning, Mya raises a word
" Well, what do you think?, Do you like it?"
" Mya… your outfit.. its.."
I couldn't say a single word from Mya outfit, It was my late father, she wore a leather tunic that fits it's size, and a skirt from its knee-length, she was dressed as an adventurer
" What Roxy?, is it bad?"
" No, it's perfect, it suits you"
She was stunning, Mya abandoned her white dress from her hometown, and it reminded from my father at her youth,, The outfit was mainly white and a touch of green, as if alluding to her as an adventurer
I stopped, perplexed by her actions, Mya faced me, her face full of determination,
" Roxy, let's eat"
" Sure"
We moved at our family table to eat, Both of us have a herb-roasted skewer, it has a touch of vegetables from the meat, but remained it's savory taste, They all looked mouthwatering tasty
Then, I took a bite on one of the meat in the skewers, and yet the skewer was cooked into perfection, it melts in my mouth, like a roasted marshmallow
Mya blissfully chewed away at its own skewer, The tears welling in her eyes told me everything that this skewer I bought from a local stall, delicious and tasty at the same time
Mya commented the taste of the skewers, and she gave a positive results
" Hmm.. this is the most delicious snack I have ever tasted, the meat was tender, and the roasted herbs dripped into my tounge, it's so tasty"
Mya gave a positive review from the skewers I bought, it was tasty though, the herb-roasted skewers were a good choice, with a hint of vegetables and savory from the taste,
After all, it was a common grub from the common folk, The barbecue skewer stall generally aimed to be cheap, fast and delicious, A generally sophisticated meal that I recommend
After some time, Mya devourered half of the skewers from the basket, due to the scenting aroma of the basket, the oily residue made Mya eat every single meat there is…
" Mya, can I have some skewers, you are exactly six skewers in one sitting"
" Oh, here, you have it all"
Mya expression was the most sophisticated thing I have ever seen, it was blisfull at first, then apparently, she was a glutton
Less than a minute, I devourered at least four skewers at that time, I was full, restored my energy after my fight, and seeing Mya delightful face made my emotions skyrocketed, and Mya and I are full
My tummy was full, my hunger replenished, not just my Blood Curse, but my single hunger satisfied, my gut didn't rumble like before and the taste of the skewers still remained on my taste buds
After our rowdy competition dinner, I relaxed into my room, layed in a bed while my clothes still intact, there I fell into deep slumber…
