Chapter 300 - An Incredible Taste!
Chapter 300: An Incredible Taste!
Elizabeth raised her hands involuntarily, while Yabemiya’s entire face was buried in her chest. Deathly silence ensued, just as if time had been stopped.
“I… I’m sorry.” Yabemiya raised her head to look up at Elizabeth with embarrassment and apology etched on her face.
“Can you get your face off my body now?” A furious blush appeared on Elizabeth’s face. If it were someone else taking advantage of her like that, she would have reduced them to a pile of icy shards already.
However, she abruptly stopped the magic spell that she was about to release. Upon closer inspection, the embarrassed little half-dragon girl with her face buried in her chest was actually quite adorkable.
“I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!” Only then did Yabemiya extricate her face from the soft and warm mounds before hurriedly stumbling back and bowing in apology. Even the tips of her ears were blushing with embarrassment, and she thought to herself, What do I do! I can’t believe I did something so rude! Arrrgh! My God! But… they really were very big.. and so soft… and so comfortable to lie on.
The displeasure in Elizabeth’s heart faded at the sight of the apologizing Yabemiya. Besides, she was partially at fault as well as she had been absentmindedly thinking about some things, which led to her failing to notice the oncoming Yabemiya.
Furthermore, the things that Elizabeth was thinking about just so happened to be related to her. It was almost impossible for her to find her half-sister on the same day that she received the news, but Yabemiya was a half-dragon girl of the right age, so she was naturally a potential candidate.
“I’m fine,” Elizabeth said in a cold voice as she sized up Yabemiya.
The latter was quite petite, with thin, delicate limbs, and was wearing a strange black and white dress that perfectly accentuated her figure. In contrast with the rest of her frail body, her chest was… quite large.
She had a pair of golden dragon horns on her head, as well as a white hairband. Her golden hair had been arranged into a side ponytail which trailed onto her right shoulder. Still, what was the most startling to Elizabeth was her eyes.
She had a golden left pupil and a black right pupil!
A hint of surprise appeared in Elizabeth’s deep blue eyes. A golden pupil didn’t necessarily reflect the golden dragon bloodline, but it made her an even likelier candidate.
So… so beautiful! Yabemiya was also surreptitiously appraising Elizabeth. Her skin was as fair as snow, and she appeared to be around twenty years old. Her features were extremely gorgeous, and her blue dress appeared to have been carved from ice and frost, giving her the appearance of a goddess that had just descended from the heavens.
She was only casually standing there, but her cold and haughty disposition struck one with the urge to bow their head to her. In contrast with Sally’s cold and regal disposition, Elizabeth’s was purely cold and aloof.
Even though Elizabeth had told her that she was fine, Yabemiya was still a little nervous. After all, she had been the one that had crashed into Elizabeth, and didn’t know what to say as she stood with her head bowed.
“What’s going on?” Right at that moment, Sally’s voice sounded. She had just emerged from the magic potion shop, only to find Yabemiya acting like a naughty child who was being reprimanded. She then caught sight of Elizabeth, and she, too, was stunned by her beauty.
Is she a giant dragon?
A hint of speculation welled up in Sally’s heart. Even though Elizabeth was in her human form, the aura of a giant dragon was still a little different from a human’s. Furthermore, her natural haughty disposition further supported that notion. But, how had Yabemiya managed to draw the ire of that dragon woman?“I… I accidentally bumped into her.” Yabemiya was instilled with a modicum of confidence upon hearing Sally’s voice, but she was still a little apologetic.
“I told you already, I’m fine.” Elizabeth’s brows were slightly furrowed as she took a glance at Sally. A hint of surprise also appeared in her eyes, and she thought to herself, That’s no ordinary elf. From the magic waves emanating from her body, I can tell that she’s just as powerful as I am. I wonder what kind of relationship these two share…
“Eh? It’s the beautiful big sister dragon.” Amy’s voice was tinged with a hint of pleasant surprise as she emerged with Ugly Duckling in her arms, turning to look at Elizabeth.
“Amy, you know her?” Yabemiya was a little surprised.
“I encountered this big sister dragon with Father at the city gates a few days ago. I remember her because she’s so beautiful.” Amy nodded before waving her little hand at Elizabeth. “Hello, big sister dragon.”
“Meow!” In contrast, Ugly Duckling seemed to be harboring some animosity toward Elizabeth. It extended its little claws in what it thought to be a menacing fashion.
“Mm-hm.” Elizabeth glanced at Amy, and nodded in a greeting. She’d seen a man riding on a strange vehicle with that little girl earlier on during the day; she was a little surprised to encounter her again. Furthermore, it appeared that all three of them were familiar with one another.
“My name is Yabemiya. I really am very sorry, but I have to get back to work, so I’ll be taking my leave now.” Yabemiya was getting a little flustered at the sight of customers entering and exiting the restaurant, so she hurriedly bade an apologetic farewell to Elizabeth before rushing away.
“Let’s go, Amy.” Sally took a glance at Elizabeth before holding onto Amy’s little hand, and made her way toward the restaurant. Giant dragons were known for their volatile and wilful nature, so she was not going to leave Amy on her own here.
“Big sister dragon, our restaurant’s food is super good! You have to come and have a taste.” Amy obediently allowed Sally to lead her away, but she left an invitation for Elizabeth.
“Mamy Restaurant…” Elizabeth’s gaze rested upon the sign on the restaurant before she walked toward it.
“Here are your braised chicken and rice and savory tofu pudding. Enjoy.” Mag placed a platter gently in front of Novan with a smile on his face.
“Thank you.” Novan nodded as his eyes were drawn to the delectable dishes placed before him.
The golden chicken chunks, alluring chicken soup, and many types of other ingredients were all combined in one dish, but it didn’t appear chaotic in the slightest. He couldn’t help but swallow at the sight of the chicken bathed in the rich golden broth.
“You’ve lived in Chaos City for several dozens of years, but I’m much more of an expert than you when it comes to seeking out delicious cuisine in this city.” Krassu picked up a piece of braised chicken with his chopsticks before putting it into his mouth and chewing slowly with a blissful expression.
“I’ll dig in as well, then.” Novan also picked up a chunk of chicken with his chopsticks, and placed it into his mouth. He was first met by the taste of the delicious chicken soup, which was rich, but not overwhelmingly so. He couldn’t identify what spices had been used, but the savoriness of the dish had been enhanced to the very max. He gently chewed down on the chicken, only to find that its texture was very soft and refreshing, and a burst of flavors lingered in his mouth even after the chicken was consumed.
“This… this is an incredible taste!” Novan couldn’t help but praise the braised chicken. He picked up another chunk of chicken, and basked in the incomparable bliss of sampling its delectable flavor.
