Episode 15.7 (1/2)
That night, Lecan's group went to <Jade's Restaurant>.
The door that was broken yesterday has been replaced with a new one.
There's a lot of customers merrily making noise inside.
Which means, <Vega> isn't here today. Thought Lecan, but it turns out they're drinking around two joined round tables like they were yesterday.
Lecan looked around inside the restaurant while finding this situation unexpected, he couldn't find an open seat so he turned around to leave the establishment.
”Lecan!”
Lecan turned back and saw Cozwolth standing up while grandly waving at him.
”Oy! <Willard>'s made their entrance! Open up some seats for these three!”
Other guests jammed themselves together and freed one round table.
”C'mere! C'mere! Lecan! Come over here!”
As Lecan walked toward the seats, he lightly bowed at the guests who crammed together for those seats before sitting on one. This restaurant's chairs are all large. Probably because it's got a lot of big customers, this fact alone is most pleasing to Lecan who finds all other restaurants have small chairs.
”OOY, waiter! Brink these three their drinks! Two glasses of ale and tea. My treat!”
”Sorry for the trouble, Cozwolth.”
”That's my line, Lecan. We got way too worked up having fun yesterday, musta been a bother to you.”
”Nah. Fights make for a good side dish for your drink.”
”UWAHAHAHAHAHA. You got that right!”
”That's this restaurant. They even fixed up the door and chairs in no time at all.”
”Got the cheap ones tho'.”
”Exactly what makes it all the easier to fool around. Most importantly, they can serve good food for their customers tonight thanks to the speedy fix. That's the best.”
”Damn straight. Tell me 'bout it.”
The two laughed together.
”I'm shocked, I thought Lecan didn't like talking to others with how curt he usually is.”
”Master hits it off really well with these types, doesn't he.”
Eda and Arios next to him were talking about something.
”Tonight's a nice night! Alright, waiter! I'm treatin' the whole bunch here a glass of ale each!”
The entire restaurant cheered loudly with Cozwolth's declaration.
”Add another glass from me after that. Guys, as a newcomer here, I offer you my best regards!”
An even louder cheer resounded with Lecan's announcement.
Afterward, it was simply one real huge uproar.
All adventurers inside the restaurant walked up to Lecan one after another, treating and getting treated themselves endlessly.
By the time Lecan dealt with everyone, he had drunk dozens of glasses.
Eda and Arios sneakily went to the waiter and ordered every recommended dish on the menu. Most of it went into Lecan's stomach, but Eda and Arios got their shares as well.
Just as the crowd around Lecan receded, the slender swordsman of <Vega> walked up and took a seat next to him.
”Heya, Lecan.”
”You're, <Vega>'s swordsman right.”
”Call me Beck. Pleased to meetcha'.”
”Same here.”
The two shared a toast.
”Pheeew. That was quite a show you did at noon.”
”The onlookers were saying something about those old men belonging to Shaman Association or something.”
”They are. And that shitty old man is the association's head honcho. Been one since a long time ago.”
”Humm.”
