Entering, the two are greeted with a brown wooden interior that looks beautiful, colored by dim light from the light boxes on each table. This place is crowded with people with various appearances, even armor and weapons are also found here.
"Hoo. . ." Alice raised her eyebrows, amazed.
Elcia herself quite often visited a restaurant that could be said to be high-class, but somehow it feels like the girl always looks gloomy and flat. It always happens, unless he's with his sister or Lia.
At this moment, his feelings could be said to be different. Surprising for her, Elcia was silent for a moment in front of the entrance.
"Come on, don't stand here!" pull Alice into this place deeper.
"Luck?"
Without Elcia noticing, many people immediately talked about the two. The people of Terrian especially, a rumor about the silver-white-haired girl who defeated Bill the Demon Trainer. About a Novice Swashbuckler who is quite attention-grabbing. Or about a pair of sweet angels. . .
The sensitive Alice would be around naturally aware of it.
This. .. embarrassing. . he said inwardly, walking a little faster looking for an empty spot.
"Muu. . , Alice, please, please." - Elcia, a little trouble for being pulled.
Finding one of the tables empty, the two sat next to each other and waited for the waiter.
"So. . , what message?" ask Elcia. It is not a lie if he is bad at deciding on a choice. And Elcia didn't want to spend any time until her character died first. Choosing to throw it at Alice, the girl wished herself only to nod in agreement.
"Well. . ," holding her voice, Alice began to see the writing clearly emblazoned on the wooden wall, the menu board. And the girl was surprised.
Cheap enough? thought.
Both are still blind to the value of money in Terris. They also have not had time to use the money given at the beginning of the game. But, seeing the average price that was only dozens of Rea, Alice fell silent considering Bill gave her one gold coin —10,000 Rea.
That demon trainer turned out to be quite generous? Alice was getting confused with him.
"Milk, bread and potato soup, maybe?" alice said, choosing. It sounds simple indeed, but Alice wants to try it because she often finds all three in fantasy stories. After all, this is the first time he felt something himself, as well as curious about the taste of food in Terris.
Elcia just nodded in agreement with that. Immediately ordered after a waiter approached the two.
Putting her chin on the table, Elcia looked like a child, forgetting that this place was filled with Halfling of various ages.
'Elcia.'
"Yes?" answering while raising her eyes, Elcia found Alice looking at her with one eye closed.
'Soul Link: Connection, remember?' no need to explain more, Elcia understood and used her Irregular Skill that was a pair with Alice.
'Alice?'
'Alpha, come in.' Alice smiled and replied like a military person.
Quite easily, both of them just need to stare and talk using the mind. This skill could be said to be useful to talk about something quite secret without having to fear leaking.
'So why, Alice?' elcia asked, curious about the reason Alice was using this Skill all of a sudden.
'There's nothing. For Mastery maybe?'
"May. . ." Elcia instantly dropped her expression hearing Alice's reply.
'Your face is tense, you know? You have to be ordinary around a lot of people from now on.' he explained later.
Alice knew this from the beginning. Elcia is still very stiff when there is a place that seems, crowded. Therefore, he deliberately made Elcia slightly limp with a joke. It would be bad if the girl didn't start to change now. The girl needs to overcome her trauma.
Tense, yes. . ? elcia thought, lowering her gaze again. He wants to remember his past. And subconsciously, her little body started trembling.
Alice did not let the girl sink into fear, clasping her hand. 'I'm here, calm down.'
'. . . Sorry, said Elcia, bowed.
Their orders came quickly. Potato soup that still gives off steam, the smell of wheat from bread and a glass of warm milk.
'This is more than I expected.' said Alice, still using her Skill.
Starting from here, the two imitate the way of eating shown in fantasy stories.
Tearing the bread in her hand in half, Elcia found the texture to be quite hard. It was based on an old century where yeast was still rare. Therefore, before eating the bread was dipped in potato soup nearby.
Trying it, Elcia's eyes widened slightly. 'This. . , yummy.'
The hard bread was not so bad after it was dipped. Most people would not like bread like this. But Elcia was a little different, she was starting to like it!
Alice also showed a bright face and enjoyed everything in a relaxed manner. The two decide one thing in silence; explore and try the food in Terris!
'Alice.' call Elcia, keep enjoying the food.
'Yes?'
'. . . The skill before, it was. . ?'
Elcia recalled the series of Title and Skill notifications Alice had obtained, just before she threw out Bill's sword.
Since both Elcia and Alice shared a notification panel, it allowed both of them to know what was happening at the same time.
'Ah, that I haven't read either. Please see. . .' Alice checked the Status panel after her mouth was empty. " [Open Status] "

At a glance, Alice's Status could be said to be frightening on her level. But Alice still could not smile with satisfaction as long as her Quest had not been successfully completed.
As for, the Title and Skill that the girl obtained;

Elcia almost choked on the potato soup from reading it, while Alice was silent for a while.
Putting aside the cool-sounding Title, Struggle in real was something similar to Berserker's ability in most games; the more desperate, the stronger.
A glimmer of hope appeared. With the Skill, Alice began to believe she could complete the Quest.
However, even though his strength increased during critical condition, deliberately making himself enter a critical state was not an option. In circumstances where her character could die, this was too risky and both of them knew it, they were not reckless girls. Sure, the exercise included an exception —even if Bill seemed to want to kill him.
'By the way, your Quest reward weapon has not been taken?' ask Alice.
'Muu. . , all of you.' replied Elcia, sighing slightly.
Bill is too focused on training Alice to date, and it looks like it will still be. Therefore, Elcia was reluctant to interrupt the two just for a Common-Grade thing.
'Wait. .' said Alice, stopping the spoon before her mouth.
'Um. . .' Elcia also frowned.
. . .
" "May. . ." "
At that moment, both of them realized an absolute folly they were doing. One of the important elements that strengthens one's character, Equipment!
Without wearing gear, both are exactly like carrying water by hand.
—Just looking hard.
Sure oes. The only thing they have right now is still the Common Traveler Set that does not provide any extras.
'Stupid. .' said Alice, dropping herself.
'. . .'
That way, the next goal has been determined with certainty;
Blacksmith's Shop!
