The Story of Demon Hunter

145 - Back and Start

A dozen days after the meeting ended, Arthur and his two companions reached the capital of the Moon Orchid Kingdom.

Looking at the two-story building that was not too small and not too big, the three of them felt comfortable.

In addition to being one of the safest cities due to the large number of cultivators residing here, this city was also famous for being densely populated. The reason why Arthur and his two comrades were here was clearly to blend in, disappearing in the crowd to enjoy a mediocre life.

On such a sunny morning, Arthur opened the restaurant with a lazy expression on his face. The place is pretty big, neat, and clean. The building is in a quiet alley, the first floor is used as a restaurant and the second floor is used as a residence.

Beautiful calligraphy inscribed with ‘Mirror Flower Restaurant’ displayed above the front door.

Every name has its own meaning. Rather than put his name on it, Arthur preferred another name. The mirror flower itself was actually a piece of the idiom that the young man had known in his previous life.

Mirror flower, water moon.

Flowers are visible in the mirror, the moon is visible on the surface of the water. It was a sentence that had the meaning of something that could be seen but could not be touched. The reason why Arthur named his restaurant that way was his cooking technique.

That young man had learned many cooking techniques in the previous world. Something that cannot be learned in this world that can be said how to cook it is still very ancient and simple.

He wanted to serve a variety of cuisines from unique ingredients and ways of cooking that people did not know. Whether it was cooking the flesh of a savage beast until the demonic beast mixed with a lot of spices.

Something unimaginable to the people in this world who are busy practicing and strengthening themselves in order to survive against various obstacles of life.

Of course, despite choosing to open a restaurant, Arthur only did it as a part-time. Now he had bonded with the Garden of Death. So the young man had to work to complete a certain number of missions each year.

Arthur wants to use the rest of his time to relax and sell, that's all.

Looking towards the fairly quiet street in front of the restaurant, Arthur did not care much. After all, the money he had earned from the mission in the previous year was already overwhelming.

Because it did not require many things like medicines that cultivators needed and also did not live luxuriously, Arthur felt that his savings had been a lot. Not to mention, he could also take the proceeds from the sale of ore from the mine he owned.

Arthur was still richer than the smaller sects. There was absolutely no problem to train and finance the cultivation needs of Jotaro and Lily.

Behind the counter, Arthur sat in his chair while reading a book with a lazy expression on his face. Completely ignoring everything else around him.

“Arthur, Arthur .. view this!”

Lily walked over while carrying a piece of paper with a somewhat messy drawing of flowers.

Seeing that, Arthur lifted the corner of his lips. The young man stroked Lily's head while asking, “Drawing the flower garden?”

“Ya!” Lily nodded. As if realizing something, he hurriedly said. “A-I just warm up. After this, I will learn to read and write.”

“I understand. If there's something you don't understand, don't hesitate to ask.”

Arthur put a gentle smile on his lazy face. While Lily went to the back, towards the study room on the first floor. Not too far from the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Jotaro himself went to train his body. Expect to level up soon, at least rise to the gold level so that it can be more relied upon by his peers.

Waiting until noon, Arthur did not see a single customer coming. Noticing that it was time for lunch, the young man went to the room where Lily was studying.

“What lunch is this afternoon?” ask Arthur.

“Anything,” Lily replied with a smile on her face.

“Then you rest first. I'll make lunch.”

After saying that, Arthur went to the kitchen to cook. This time he did not want to cook anything complicated. Seeing what was on the menu, the young man chose a simple dish.

First of all, prepare the seasoning. Then, break the two eggs and separate the yellow and white. Mix the egg yolk with a bowl of rice.

After that, heat the oil, scrambling the egg whites in hot oil. Then insert the garlic, chickpeas, and sausages that have been sliced.

Add the rice mixed with egg yolk. Season with salted soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, fish sauce, mashed pepper, and chopped chives.

After cooking for a while, simple fried rice is ready to be served.

Of course, how to cook fried rice a lot because of its own kind a lot. Some are filled with chicken, meat, to sea food. However, this time Arthur wanted to cook something simple and easy to make. In fact, anyone can make it if they want.

“Time to eat, Lily.”

Arthur put a bowl of fried rice on Lily's front desk. After that, he went to the kitchen to cook fried rice for himself.

Not because you can't cook a lot at once. It's just, Arthur felt like eating something more spicy. Although it can be a lot of fat, divided, then added sauce or chili pieces, but it tastes different if cooked with spices.

That's why Arthur chose to cook for himself. The young man did not want to save a little time to reduce the taste of his cooking. After all, he was not busy doing anything.

Having just prepared the ingredients for cooking, the sound of a bell rang out as the entrance opened and six people entered the restaurant.

“Scented smell was from here, Senior.”

A skinny young man said to the handsome young man who seemed to be the leader of the group. Among the six people, there was a male and two female.

One handsome young man, three minions, one fat girl and one pretty girl. From his appearance alone, it was obvious that the young man was trying to flatter the girl.

At that moment, the six people looked around. Looking at the restaurant that was not too big but clean and tidy made them silently nod. Quite satisfied because of its cleanliness.

The gazes of the six people stopped towards the little girl who ate a bowl of fried rice voraciously.

“What a cute little girl!” said the fat girl with an enchanted expression.

“...”

The beautiful girl next to him looked cold, but her sparkling eyes could not help but lie that she also seemed to be happy to see the cute Lily.

Only then did their gazes turn towards the handsome young man standing behind the cashier table. Looking at the young man, the eyes of the two girls sparkled.

Realizing that his lunch was delayed, Arthur could only sigh and said in a lazy tone.

“Welcome. If you want to order something, just look to the menu board.”

Hearing his words, everyone looked towards the menu board. Just then, one of the subordinates of the handsome young man exclaimed.

“What's with the price? Can it be so high? Isn't this a robbery?”

Arthur was not at all surprised by their reaction. He just relaxed back while shrugging his shoulders.

“That's the price. If you want to eat, please choose. If not, please go.”

Hearing the young man's lazy and uninspired reply, the six people were stunned. After all, they had not seen any employees or shopkeepers who were not at all enthusiastic.
