The Heretic Chef: Exaworld Online

Dinner

The sky turned dark and the sun began to sink. Inside the restaurant, a young man wearing a white shirt was sitting in the corner of the room.

The young man was Rein he came 30 minutes early because he was afraid of being late, this was the first time he had invited a woman to dinner with him how could he be late.

Rein closed his eyes and remembered the rules he had memorized at home earlier.

A few minutes later the sky was cloudy and the wind was cold.

Rein had already said the clothes he was going to wear to Lucia so he was just waiting at the dinner table.

Because it came too early he had to wait for Lucia to come and this was still 15 minutes before the appointed time.

Cringes.

Every time the door opened Rein's heart immediately thumped, he had never seen Lucia in the real world so he could only guess how she looked.

Since in-game can change 10% of appearances, she can also change her face to be prettier or worse.

"Don't be too nervous, it's still 15 minutes before he arrives." Rein stroked his chest because from earlier his heart kept pounding.

Cringes.

This time a woman went into the restaurant and looked around her, she was so beautiful that everyone in the room saw her.

Rein also saw that the woman had long almond-colored hair she was not from Indonesia, her height was probably about 165 cm and had a very nice and beautiful body.

The woman walked up followed by various pairs of eyes staring at her. Rein also continued to pay attention to her, the woman walked over and suddenly stopped beside Rein's desk.

"Nier, is that you?" The woman asked in a soft voice, her voice was like music from heaven.

But Rein who was sitting had often heard that beautiful voice and he smiled when he heard it.

"Lucia, please sit."

The beautiful woman was Lucia, she looked so charming in her white clothes.

Without hesitation Lucia sat down and looked at the smiling Rein in front of her. Although he looked calm his heart was pounding very fast at the moment.

Rein who saw Lucia acting like she normally did she became calm and her nervousness slightly disappeared.

"Lucia you look beautiful as always." Said Rein by praising him.

"Stop teasing me ok? it's the first time I've seen you in such neat clothes." Lucia smiled while looking at him.

In the game Rein never wears neat clothes, he continues to wear white beginner clothes with various kinds of stains on his clothes.

"Ekhm.., of course I always look handsome."

"Tch is still, then do we need to introduce ourselves again Nier?"

"Oh yeah I forgot, introduce my name Rein Adrian I live a few minutes from here."

"Hm.. Means we live pretty close, introduce my name is Lucia Erilyn and I'm Indonesian."

"You're using your real name in the game?" Rein was a little surprised to hear that, he thought that Lucia's name was his character's only name.

"Can't really?"

"Well, it's not okay, usually in games people will choose to hide their true identity or use a name that sounds cool."

"I don't think I need to hide it because I want to make the world hear my name."

"Hahaha.it's exactly like you, then let's order the food first."

Rein remembered the first rule he had memorized was to choose the right food he liked, then he immediately chose a piece of steak to order. Lucia also ordered her food.

The number two rule Rein learned was not to be rude to the waiter, so he ordered in a friendly tone.

But the waiter felt strange with Rein's attitude arriving to be close. After ordering, the waiter immediately returned to his place.

Rein smiled awkwardly at the steward's behavior. Then he looked around, many male gazes were fixed on him and those gazes were filled with envy and jealousy.

The atmosphere became awkward and the two of them were silent, Rein broke out in cold sweat when he did not know what to do.

'Let's think about my brain.. Find a topic to talk about.." Rein began to think, he had not expected the atmosphere to be this awkward.

"Nier are you sick?" Lucia suddenly asked.

"Ahh no.., I'm just a little nervous when talking to a pretty girl like you."

"Pff.., where did that shameless mad chef go." Lucia laughed at hearing that.

"By the way you call me Rein, it feels a little weird to be called Nier here."

"Hmm.., well then Rein..." Lucia called him.

Rein smiled as his name was called and before long the waiter delivered the food to the two of them.

Since Rein hasn't eaten since this morning he ordered a big steak. Not only did Rein order the steak, Lucia also ordered it but it wasn't as big as Rein's steak.

'Eat slowly and do not rush. Take time to talk and don't focus too much on food.'

Because he is not experienced, he only follows the instructions on the internet. Rein chose the steak as well because of the recommendation from the hint and it just so happened that he liked it too.

They ate and talked about the game, both of them ate slowly and their chatter did not look as awkward as before.

What Rein does not know is that Lucia also reads and memorizes information about dinner rules that exist on the internet.

The two finish their dinner and Rein's stomach is fully filled but there's one last rule she remembers, which is to order dessert.

Rein ordered the pudding for the dessert and so did Lucia.

"Lucia, for tomorrow is there anything I need to prepare?" Rein asked because tomorrow is the meeting going to start.

"Hmm, you're just wearing a suit... I think that's enough."

Rein frowned, in these few days he had spent a lot of money and for tomorrow he had to buy a suit again, he felt very wasteful in his expenses.

"Then where will we meet?"

"I'll pick you up tomorrow, just tell me where your house is.."

"Isn't that upside down? Should the man pick up the woman?"

"I can't, if you pick me up and are seen by my family it's going to be very troublesome." Lucia shook her head when she imagined that.

Hearing that Rein understood, if a man picked her up maybe Lucia would be gossiping around her house.

"My address is..." Rein tells Lucia the address where she lives.

"That's close, maybe in less than 10 minutes I'll be at your house." Lucia says.

"Lucia can I ask for your line id?" Rein pulled out his Siomay smartphone.

"Line? I don't have it." Lucia answered.

"Then how should I contact you?" Rein asked and raised his eyebrows.

Lucia looked nervous with her question and it seemed like she was hiding something.

"Let's just say your id later I'll add." Lucia said by issuing the latest Aipun XX output which cost tens of millions of rupiah.

Rein gulped his saliva, his Siomay looked like trash when compared to Aipun Lucia.

"Idku paizzuri," Rein scratched the back of his head.

"Okay, I've saved it.."

"Hahahaha.., alright now it's getting late, will I take you home princess?"

"No need, I brought my own vehicle."

They both stood up and Rein paid for all the food costs, and nearly 1 million rupiahs disappeared from his wallet.

"Where's your vehicle?" Rein asked while looking around.

They walked in a large parking lot and many vehicles were parked there, there was no one else but the two of them.

Rein saw his matic motorbike that was still parked under a tree.

"It." Lucia walked over while pulling out the key.

What Lucia approached was a white Ferrari, it looked so luxurious compared to other cars.

'Ohh my god.., he is so rich am I able to have it?' Rein asked and complained a little.

Lucia opened her car door and Rein held her hand. Lucia was surprised that her hand was suddenly held.

"Lucia.., thank you for accepting my dinner invitation." Rein was still holding his hand.

"Not to think about it, this was an interesting experience for me." Lucia smiled and there was a slight red hue on her face.

"Then... next time will you eat with me again?" Rein asked and still clasped Lucia's hand.

"Of course.., just call me if you want to take me again."

"Then be careful on the road." Rein smiled and let go of Lucia's hand.

Lucia gave a beautiful smile and then got into the car, if Rein saw it at this time he would know that Lucia's face was really red. Fortunately, the windshield was so dark that Rein could not see it from the outside.

Lucia stroked both hands and left Rein standing alone.

Rein was still smiling and walking slowly back to his motorbike, then he remembered the Ferrari.

"That's why I can't give up!"
