Millennium Tension

Waterway Diner, a restaurant with four floors in the middle of a small artificial lake. It was like any other five-star restaurant, but this place was unique because the customers would be in the floating room.

And this place would be even more beautiful when night fell, and of course, this place was one of the most popular destinations for lovers who came to this city.

Meanwhile, Aizen's group just arrived at the shore of the lake where the Waterway Diner was located, an artificial lake with no name and was only known as Waterway Diner's lake.

'Woah, even the water on this lake looks sparkling, there are so many lotus lanterns in this lake.' Ana was a little amazed by the special water used to fill this artificial lake.

'Master Aizen, and girls, we'd better get a place at the Waterway Diner. It's quite popular here, we have to hurry to get a place, considering the many love birds that come at night.' Axel conveyed her logical suggestions to everyone.

Of course, all of them nodded in agreement, including Aizen. However, before the girls had time to fly and rush to the restaurant in the middle of the lake, Aizen restrained them with a movement of his hand.

'Wait, don't fly over there. We will look like rude people. We'll get there by crossing that bamboo-decorated bridge, the other customers are using it, and so should we.' Aizen pointed towards the bridge to the right of their position.

Axel, Ana, and the girls were a little embarrassed and blushed, they were a little nervous when they found out that they might not be able to find the place because it was quite crowded. So they just wanted to fly away and forget there was a bridge near them.

Shortly afterward, Aizen walked there with the girls, and Bella was the guide for them as usual. As expected, the few people who happened to be in their path would make way, because the little white dragon that might bite anyone who dared didn't give them the way.

The atmosphere was peaceful and calm, natural and traditional, but still felt sacred and magnificent, that was the impression they got the moment they entered the Waterway Diner building.

Without waiting for another second, Aizen and his group approached the beautifully carved stone table that seemed to be a receptionist. There were already several waiters and waitresses clad in light green robes ready to help every customer who came.

"Welcome to the Waterway Diner, how can I help you?" The waiter greeted and bowed slightly.

"One for eleven, is that available?" Aizen got his point across, so succinctly.

"One large room, it is available. Do you want a regular or floating room?" The waiter was a little nervous because of this unusual group.

What a pinnacle in life, one man and many fairies. And again there was a rare animal like a small dragon. Even so, he had to do his job professionally.

"Floating room."

"Regarding the floating room on a large level, we only have VIP 4, is that suitable for you, young master?"

"Yes, arrange everything." Aizen nodded once.

"Alright, then, please wait a moment..." The waiter bowed a little once again, then approached the reception desk and arranged a few things with the receptionist lady there.

Shortly afterward, the waiter returned with a special key that was shaped like a carved relic. "Please follow me, young master, fairies, your room is on the east side."

Aizen only nodded in confirmation of this, they immediately followed the waiter somewhere. Arriving at the destination, three box rooms were floating above the water, and the largest room at the end of the edge like a pier was their large room.

The waiter put the special key on the door, then respectfully invited Aizen's group to enter there.

A room five by five meters in size, decorated like an abode belonging to high-class cultivators from a great sect with natural and traditional themes. With four walls that were uniquely designed that seemed to be translucent through some of the carved parts.

Several ornamental plants complement the natural theme, even the lighting in the room was like lotus lanterns floating on this artificial lake.

However, the thing that caught the most attention was where they were going to have dinner. It was on a long table that required them to sit on the floor with only special cushions for their seats.

It was a new thing for Aizen and his girls who were used to eating at the dining table with chairs.

"This is your VIP 4 large room. You can chat quietly without fear of eavesdropping, and also don't have to worry about anyone peeking or anything. From each of these unique glasses, it is only able to see from the inside out and not the other way around." The waiter explained that very eloquently, something he had been practicing for a long time.

"I see, this large room is actually made for meetings and discussions. That's something that deserves to be appreciated because we uphold our level of privacy." Aizen muttered lightly, then sat down on a cushion as his seat in the middle of the row.

Ana and Axel sat on either side of Aizen, Bella next to Ana, and the seven fairies immediately sat down regularly, six in Aizen's line and five in the other.

"This is our menu book, please tell me what you want to order." With the help of his spirit energy, the waiter cleverly distributed the menu books that he had just taken out of his Space Ring to the eleven people, the little dragon was only forced to be seen as a person.

"No need, we will take your best level service package. Give us your best menu for the group." Aizen did not open the menu book placed in front of him, and the girls did not touch their menu books at all.

They already knew about the package, thanks for their quick scan when they just arrived at the lobby of this restaurant.

"The mysterious level five package is our best service pack, four random types of menus for each person, taken from our best level five menu. Are you sure you want to take that, young master?" The waiter asked to confirm this, the package was not haphazard, and it was rare for someone to take it.

A package consisting of an appetizer, main course, and dessert, plus a special drink was served for each person in the group. Even though it was all taken from the fifth-grade menu sheet as the best from the menu book, it had a random selection. The special dishes from the special menu list, and would add to the impression of a thrilling and unexpected gift.

However, instead of the random selection, everyone present would get one special dish that was not available in the menu book. More special than special, rarer than rare, and always different for each day depending on the wishes of their main chef team. Or in short a special mysterious dish.

"Yes." Aizen confirmed that after getting one hundred percent of the votes from the girls, through their system of course.

"Alright, a level five mysterious pack for 11 people. It will all become 5500 high tier spirit coins." The waiter nodded, took the menu books back and made a bill.

As if he knew how the restaurant worked, Aizen only gave the waiter a small pouch. The pouch contained the spirit stone which completely matched the requested value.

"Your order will arrive in a moment, young master, fairies. This is the key to the entrance to this VIP 4 large room, please give permission to the waitresses who will come in a moment. Then, I will excuse myself." The waiter gave a respectful bow and immediately walked out of the closed room.

At the same time after the entrance door closed and the key runes had worked as they should, the floating room moved away from the restaurant's pier to tour the beautiful lake.

Aizen retrieved a unique insignia used as the key to this room, he examined it for a moment then placed it on the table.

"Yay! We're moving!" Ana cheered happily in her pleasant voice.

"Oh, isn't this unique? We can also see underwater from some parts of this floor." Lian immediately peeked from various parts of the floor, she was like a curious little girl.

"Hehe, and strangely from the outside, this room is nothing more than a five by five-meter box floating around a lake." Yifei covered her mouth with amusement.

"We're not going to crash into another box, or have some uninvited people come just to disturb us again, right?" Axel spoke lightly, she rested her cheek against her hand while looking at the sparkling lake decorated with many lotus lanterns.

"Each room box has its own route, the Waterway Diner will not be so careless as to let something like a box hit another box. The entry key is upon us, unless someone is about to destroy this room, we will not be approached by strangers. Isn't that why you chose this place for our dinner?" Aizen smiled softly, the management of this place was so good, as one would expect from a venue in this expensive city.
