Chapter 85
An earthquake occurred around Irene’s eyes.
“Ah… is it beautiful? ······Me, me?”
Irene looked at Theo with trembling eyes.
“okay.”
Theo nodded.
As usual, indifferent and calm, as if asking why are you asking the obvious.
“That, that, that’s right.”
Irene couldn’t look at Theo any more.
Instead, he blushed and looked at the ground.

Me and Irene walked towards the restaurant ‘Chunmihyang’ where we had dinner.
‘Well.’

From one moment on, Irene did not open her mouth.
His cheeks and ears were red, and he just looked at the ground and walked.
Occasionally, Irene squinted at me, and when our eyes met, she hurriedly averted her gaze.
He even smiled bashfully.
A smile like a binggu that makes you feel at ease when you look at it.
Anyway, why is he doing this all of a sudden?
‘Hmm, is it because it’s beautiful?’
but.
There is no woman who truly hates being said to be pretty.
Of course, I didn’t mean it.
Actually, Irene is beautiful.
Judging from what she said, it seems that she has an inferiority complex towards Siena and Aisha, but Irene’s appearance is not the same.
Is it the difference between an actor or an idol?
It only depends on individual taste differences, but objectively speaking, Irene is also a beautiful woman.
While I was thinking about this and that, the ‘Chunmihyang’ building came into my sight.
“······Irene.”
“···Hehehe. Ah. Yes, yes? Did you call?!”
Irene, who had her head bowed, was startled.
“We’re almost there. It’s a restaurant with a chef from the Eastern Empire. Do you like Eastern food?”
“I, I, I eat anything well.”
“I’m glad. The food of the Eastern Empire is spicy and salty, and it uses a lot of spices, and there are a lot of oily foods. I hope it suits your taste.”
“I, I like anything…”
Irene still smiled softly, not looking into my eyes.

One minute later, Theo and Irene arrived in front of the restaurant ‘Chunmihyang’ where they had dinner.
Theo said looking at his watch.
“You came early. Let me in.”
“yes······!”
Theo and Irene entered the restaurant.
And 10 minutes later.

Following them, three women who appear to be students also entered the restaurant.
* * *
Entering the restaurant ‘Chunmihyang’, Irene and I were guided by the staff and were guided to our seats.
Unlike the hall where many guests sit, it was a room.
‘Also, Amy.’
good sense too
You know it’s fine.
“Wow. It’s a pretty cool place.”
Irene let out a low exclamation.
“Hmm.”
I looked around the room.
It is a Chinese-style room made of dark brown wood and decorated mainly in red and gold colors.
Cheonmihyang (千味香).
As the name suggests, something like a Chinese restaurant, this restaurant was created with the motif of a modern high-end Chinese restaurant.
Just like the tonkatsu set meal and pork tenderloin were sold in the student cafeteria of the Faculty of Knights, this work ‘Kairenzena Chronicle’ has many motifs from modern times.
‘Really, you take filthy details from useless parts.’
In the first place, the Eastern Empire in this work is also a country where Eastern cultures such as Korea, China, and Japan are mixed here and there.
Irene said, looking around.
“Theo, I think it was when you ate Eastern food before-, but I didn’t know if you would even try a restaurant. There are a lot of differences between a student cafeteria and a restaurant, right?”
“Yes. Personally, I like food from the Eastern Empire. Irene, it will suit your taste.”
“I’m quite picky in my taste~?”
“Um, didn’t I say I was good at eating anything before?”
“ah.”
Irene’s eyes trembled slightly.
And then he spoke hurriedly.
“Yeah! It’s a little different now than it was back then. Look at that interior. Isn’t it luxurious? I think expectations have risen! It’s probably expensive, but if it doesn’t taste good, it’s a shame!”
“Well.”
is it······?
I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about.
“That’s right. I just hope it suits your taste.”
I sat down and spoke quietly.
The gibberish was a bit awkward, but I’ll just get over it.
Since we are having dinner together, I want to make a good impression on Irene.
I don’t want to make you feel bad before you even eat.
I am well aware of Irene’s disposition.
Usually, she eats a meal with the feeling that she is satisfied with one meal, but on special occasions she likes to be treated with certainty.
Since ‘Cheonmihyang’ is based on a modern Chinese restaurant as its motif, the course menu will be similar.
Before being possessed, visiting high-end restaurants twice a month was one of my little hobbies.
This is a new place, so no one knows as well as I do now.
In fact, the atmosphere is just as important as the taste of the food.
The atmosphere is passing.
‘Fufu.’
Of course the taste will be good.
This is because ‘Chunmihyang’ is a place that many named characters will visit in the future.
As I was thinking about it, I heard a knock-knock coming through the door.
“Come in.”
Before long, the staff who entered the room placed food in front of me and Irene.
“This is the first dish. This soup is flavored with crab and egg imported from the north. If you have any inconvenience, please feel free to speak to the crystal ball on the table at any time.”
“All right.”
After the staff leaves, they look at the food placed in front of them.
Crab Meat Soup.
It is a lightly seasoned soup that is often served before eating the main menu.
‘As expected.’
The overall harmony of the original course is very important.
The main dish is the most important, but the hors d’oeuvres – crab meat soup – are also very important.
“Well then, Irene.”
“Ah… yes, yes.”
I took a bite of crab meat soup with a spoon with a hollow in the middle.
·······Hmm, also.
It’s a pretty decent house.
Mimi is never
But the appetizer should fit the role.
Appropriate enough to stimulate the appetite.
I smiled as I felt the texture of the crab meat and eggs fluttering in my mouth.
Likewise, Irene, who took a bite, had shaky eyes.
‘It’s not that it doesn’t taste bad, but you wouldn’t think it was delicious either.’
Of course.
Because this crab meat soup is just an appetizer, serving to stimulate the appetite.
Anyway, the most important thing is the main dish.
It is fundamental to be faithful to their respective roles. Same with the warrior team.
“You look dissatisfied.”
“Um… it’s not like that-“
“Think of crab meat soup for warming the stomach. The main thing is the main dish. After this, you will be quite satisfied, Irene.”
“Oh, is that so…”
Saying that, Irene ate crab meat soup again.
There’s something in your eyes that you can’t believe.
But it will change soon.

“Ummm~ This grilled duck dish is crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It’s delicious. What’s the name of this dish, Theo?”
“It’s called Tokyo duck.”
“Ah, Tokyo duck. I wish there was a menu like this in the student cafeteria. Then I would eat it often.”
Irene wiped her mouth and smiled brightly.
······You have a satisfied expression.
thank god.
Since I’m taking my precious time to eat together, I have to make her feel good.
After Tokyo duck, it was ‘sweet and sour pork’.
Irene looked at the sweet and sour pork.
“This is sweet and sour pork… It’s like pouring the sauce that came with it…”
Saying that, Irene tried to pour the sauce on the sweet and sour pork.
“…don’t do that.”
Immediately, I grabbed Irene’s wrist with a stiff face.
“Ah, uh… isn’t it pouring? It seems like that.”
“No. Dip it and eat it.”
“Oh, that’s right… I’m sorry, I didn’t know.”
With a sad face, Irene put the seed with the sauce back on its original place.
Irene became pale.
…but it can’t be helped.
This is non-negotiable.
I don’t know if it was originally served with sauce, but the sauce and sweet and sour pork came separately, but eating it with sauce is a sin.
“I’m sorry for the excitement, Irene. But I told you to go somewhere and commit such disrespect.”
“That’s right…….. It’s okay in front of you.
Irene looked at me and smiled shyly.
So we started eating again in a friendly atmosphere.

Another room in the restaurant ‘Chunmihyang’.
There were three women sitting around a round table.
“How are you, Miss Sienna? Nothing special?”
“Um, it seems like there’s nothing special about it.”
“When I came to look around earlier, nothing special happened.”
It was Aisha, Sienna, and Jang Woo-hee.
“Hoo good. Please keep an eye on me.”
“Fufu, even if you don’t say it, of course I will.”
“······Okay.”
“Okay. It’s worthwhile to mobilize personal connections to create a place that didn’t exist.”
Aisha smiled.
at that time.
“······uh.”
A short word from Siena.
Aisha’s eyes widened.
“What happen?”
Siena said in a cool voice.
“Theo said he grabbed his fiancee’s wrist. It’s powerful too.”
