Today, Elena and Aya were taking a carefree walk in the city they currently occupy—still the same city as before—. Not much they do, after all the funds they have are limited. But even so, at least the atmosphere of a lively city becomes a good thing to feel. At least it was better than the Capital City that existed in the spirit world.
“Do you have somewhere you want to go, Aya? We don't have a lot of funds to spend, you know.” Elena's eyes glanced upwards at Aya. “I don't want you to ask for something very strange and unclear, and what you ask it will spend too much of the money we have.”
“(Do you always look at me like that? Always looking at me as a greedy cat? I won't ask for much, I just want to eat some good food!)” Aya's gaze was fixed on the surroundings, looking around for something that seemed good to eat.
“Fancy food is expensive. After all, luxury food is not made to satiate the stomach,” Elena reminded in a flat.
“(Whispering! I don't want fancy food at all, I just want good food!)” the answer that confirms.
The expensive restaurant-style food menu is certainly made by famous and experienced chefs. No wonder why each menu order guests become their own artwork from the hands of the chefs. So it is not natural to be expensive because it is made in earnest and uses special cooking techniques. So for poor friends, you better eat fried rice on the side of the road.
“Ya, sorry. I thought you asked for fancy food when you said good food,” Elena said. “Actually I know someone who has great cooking skills and is qualified to make good food in large quantities. It's just unlucky, I can't see him for some reason.”
“(If you can't see him, don't say it! Now I wonder what kind of person you mean!)” Aya looked up imagining a silhouette of a chef.
‘The person I am referring to is Melati, anyway [see CHAPTER 1]. She is a maid in vyakan, her ability in taking care of the household is indeed no doubt. Not to mention its ability which is very suitable for use in household stewardship. She is truly a very suitable chef and can do household chores at the same time. Not to mention, I didn't pay him at all.’
Elena was just walking around to different corners of the city with no really definite direction. In essence, they both want to find good food that is suitable for cats to eat. This is because Aya herself is too adamant to look for good food that is different from most cat food usually. What a troublesome request, yes.
Elena herself chose to obey him as a good trainer. Also, what Aya wanted was not too expensive, it was just troublesome. He was well aware that his penther had done a pretty hard job doing the match in the arena without his help. So, he also felt to give a few days off to Aya by pampering her using the way to obey what this little cat wanted.
•••••
The sun slowly went to the western horizon and began to set. Unfortunately for the two of them, the two of them had still not found the suitable food that Aya had asked for. As a good and responsible trainer, of course Elena still continues the search for good food until the day ends or night comes.
“Hei, Aya. Don't you feel like it's time to give up? It's almost night time, but we still haven't gotten any good food at all. Don't you want to eat fried fish? It is very tiring to keep walking here.”
“(I refuse!)” the firm answer. “(At least, let's search until night.)”
The two continued their search for good food. But not until some steps did they move, an alien voice called out to them from behind.
“Are you looking for good and cheap food? I might be able to help you guys,” the feminine voice sounded loud greeting the two.
Elena turned around, then described the appearance of the foreign woman she looked at inwardly, ‘A beautiful woman with long unraveling purple hair greeted in the afternoon. Behind it is the sun that sinks in the western horizon, making very neat silhouette pieces. He has a friendly greeting on his face, but in others he also has a brave aura.’
Yep, the one who called the two of them was Eternity Senolia. The movement is fast enough for the size of someone who is in another city. Most likely he has a speed-type penther or other to move, and of course the Author already knows what he has, he said, it's just that he—Writer—still hasn't explained it because it feels like the plot is not comfortable if it is told now.
“Oh, what a very charming woman dressed in the evening. Is there anything I can help you with?” ask Elena politely.
“Instead, I think you two are looking for a good place to eat near here. I think I know a place that suits you. I'm sure this place has an affordable price for every portion that fills the stomach.” This woman smiled gently with her eyes glancing at Aya for a very short time.
‘Did he observe my penther? I don't know what the purpose is, but I prefer to be vigilant,’ Elena thought behind her fake friendly smile.
Of course he knew what this woman was really thinking. After all, he had quite a lot of experience inside the battleground. A few small details would not escape that easily to escape his observation. Unless the person making the move was a very elite person, he would be able to feel a foreign feeling when that person made a suspicious move.
‘(Good food? I searched for him!)’
Above Elena, Aya was already tempted without realizing Senolia's suspicious movements. More precisely he was completely unaware of the suspicious movements, Senolia was more skilled in disguising, or he would not get a position as an agent in the Association. It was just that Elena had more skills and experience so she could figure out suspicious movements.
‘Hmm.. so it's the penther have the person who gives the weird penther to the Association. All this time he looked perfectly normal. Did he have any other allies or was it just a coincidence when he discovered that penther?’ inner Senolia.
“I will give you information about a good place to eat. But instead, play with me,” Senolia said along with a suspicious gentle smile.
“What?”
