Chapter Eight: A Strange Dinner

Tonight's scene.

​​

Had also dulled Eddie's joy at having just advanced to a Rank 1 mage.

This world was indeed filled with danger and the unknown.

With just this bit of strength, he was simply not enough.

If he was also targeted by such a strong person, then his fate would probably be similar to those goblins.

He would die tragically in an unknown place.

Thinking of this, he decided that he would not leave this place before he became strong enough.

He confirmed his future direction.

He wanted to become stronger as soon as possible!

At the same time, he also needed to continuously collect information about this continent.

This was the guarantee that he could survive in the other world.

Eddie's expression became extremely determined.

Only in this way could he protect what he wanted to protect!

Speaking of protection...

Eddie suddenly remembered..

Did he still have two maids that he hadn't found?

It wasn't Eddie's bad memory.

It was just that what happened tonight was too shocking.

Even legendary creatures, Goblin armies, high-level magic, and the real battlefield...

These weren't things that a Tier 1 mage like him should experience.

Perhaps the disappearance of his maid had something to do with the strange things that happened tonight?

Eddie shook his head, feeling that his idea was a little ridiculous.

He had read too many novels, which was why he had such a ridiculous idea.

How could his maid have the right to have anything to do with these legends.

Leaving this battlefield full of flesh and blood.

Eddie quickly searched the surrounding areas of the forest.

He still couldn't find Emily and Thor.

"Could these two have been kidnapped by Bad People?"

"That's impossible. I'm a Tier 1 Mage. It's impossible that he couldn't find any traces."

Just as Eddie was feeling a little depressed.

He suddenly saw the castle in the distance, glowing with light.

? ?

Eddie blinked his eyes to make sure that he wasn't seeing things.

Yes, the castle was glowing!

Eddie immediately spread his legs and ran toward the castle.

Like a ship that had lost its way, he found the signal tower.

His physical fitness was stronger than that of ordinary warriors and knights, so Eddie flew through the forest quickly.

There were no goblins in his way anymore.

If there were, he didn't mind letting these goblins taste the spell he had just learned.

He came near the castle.

As he got closer, he smelled the aroma of fried fish coming from outside the window.

For some reason, the smell calmed Eddie's restless heart.

This was... a familiar smell from his memory.

As he smelled the smell, Eddie quietly pushed open the door.

Through the gap, he saw Emily, who was wearing a maid's outfit, at the dining table.

At this moment, she was trying her best to arrange the plates, and the dining car beside her was equipped with a heat preservation device.

Thor, who was at the side, secretly reached out his hand to steal the food, but was discovered by Emily and slapped down.

She seemed to have said a few words to Thor.

Thor, who was discovered, mischievously stuck out his tongue.

She was only trying to see if the dishes today were to the owner's taste.

She would never admit that she wanted to steal them!

And Eddie was standing at the door watching this scene.

There was a faint smile on his lips.

The scene of the two people fighting in front of him made him feel extremely warm.

This was the first time he felt at home after coming to another world.

Thor seemed to have seen Eddie standing outside the door.

His expression immediately became excited.

He left Emily, who was lecturing him, and rushed to the door to open it for Eddie.

He smiled and said energetically.

"Master! Welcome Back!"

Seeing that Eddie had returned, Emily put down the plate in her hands and said calmly.

"Welcome back, Master."

The two of them greeted Eddie one after the other.

The words that Eddie wanted to reprimand stopped at the edge of his mouth and didn't come out.

Who would have the heart to scold these two obedient maids.

"Cough Cough!"

"Just call me young master from now on."

Eddie thought for a moment and decided to let them change the way they addressed him.

"No, no, no, no! I want to call you master!"

Thor was unhappy and shook his head to show his refusal.

"Be obedient!"

...

After the three of them discussed.

It was agreed.

In the future, when there were outsiders, they would have to call him young master.

At other times, the two of them could call him whatever they wanted.

They sat at the dining table.

Emily arranged the dinner.

"Let's sit down together. I don't need anyone to serve me when I eat."

Eddie said with a smile.

He was still not used to such etiquette.

He preferred to have everyone eat together. It was more lively.

"Hello, Master!"

Thor, who was wearing a maid uniform, immediately found a seat and sat down. A happy smile appeared on his face.

"This... is against the rules, right?"

Emily was a little hesitant.

"Maid, hurry up and serve the dishes!"

Thor took his empty plate and said to Emily.

In the next moment.

Eddie felt a blur in front of his eyes. Emily appeared behind Thor.

The terrifying speed gave Thor a fright and he hurriedly stood up.

"No need, no need. I feel full.".

Emily looked at Thor unhappily.

"If master asks you to sit, you sit."

Thor then obediently sat down.

Eddie felt that he had seen wrongly. He actually didn't see Emily's movements clearly?

He even smelled a faint scent of blood just now... ...

It was so strange.

Seeing Eddie in a daze, Emily thought he was hungry.

So she took out the fried fish from the insulated dining car.

First, she placed the best part on Eddie's Plate.

"Master, this is the freshest salmon I bought from the market this morning. Hurry up and try it."

Looking at Emily's gentle smile.

Eddie came back to his senses and stared at Emily's face.

This smile was definitely an angel!

He must have been frightened by the Goblin battlefield before, which was why he was hallucinating.

How could his own maid be stronger than him.

"It's nothing. I'm just a little tired tonight. I should be fine after resting for a while."

Eddie looked at the fried fish in front of him. It looked, smelled, and tasted delicious.

However, after being dismembered on the goblin battlefield just now, he really couldn't eat anymore.

However, Emily was still looking at him from the side.

Eddie smiled at her.

Emily also smiled.

Under that Innocent Gaze, Eddie helplessly picked up his knife and fork, cut off a small piece of fish, and put it into his mouth.

At this moment, he was like chewing wax, unable to taste anything at all.

"MMM, it's very delicious! Emily."

Eddie praised.

Only then did Emily finally become truly happy.

Then, she picked up the most beautiful piece of fried fish and placed it on her own plate.

Emily, who had some OCD, only nodded in satisfaction when she placed it in the best shape.

In the end, she gave the rest of the food to Thor.

Thor, who had been starving for a long time, put the food into his mouth.

He swallowed it directly.

Eddie was stunned by the way he ate.

Was this a human way of eating?

He didn't even chew it? He just swallowed it?

Thor looked innocent and felt that there was nothing wrong with his way of eating.

Eddie looked at Emily and found that Emily was used to Thor's way of eating as well.

As expected of... His own maid.

She ate so differently from the others.

Eddie comforted himself.

Then Emily took out bread and butter, roast venison, cabbage, and so on from the dining car.

Finally, she took out a bottle of red liquid from the dining car.

This was a bottle of spice and sweet wine kept at room temperature. It didn't taste very strong.

It was just like a drink.

This was specially prepared by Emily.

She poured a little in each of the three glasses.

After she sat down, she raised her glass.

"To celebrate young master Eddie's recovery, Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

The glasses of the three of them collided in the air, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

"Then I'll start eating!"

Thor couldn't help but drool.

He immediately began to fight with the delicious food in front of him.

Under Emily's expectant gaze, Eddie also took a bite of the venison.

"Emily, your cooking is getting better and better."

Eddie praised.

"Young master, you flatter me."

Emily humbled herself.

But the smile on her face couldn't be hidden any longer.

Thor also gave her a thumbs up.

She even licked the sauce off the plate.

"As expected, Emily's food is still the best. Those old fellows in the clan make me eat those hard things all day long. It's so annoying."

Thor couldn't help but ridicule his own elder.

Eddie couldn't help but ask when he heard that.

"Thor, do you still have family outside?"

Ah?

This question made Thor and Emily nervous all of a sudden.
