Dahlia walked beside Garion, glancing toward the restaurant door with a puzzled look.
"Master, why are we going to the restaurant now? The demonic boars haven't even been butchered yet?"
She frowned slightly. "Even if the restaurant's magic can butcher and cook them quickly, it still takes time."
Garion smirked. "Don't worry about that. I already prepared something special."
Dahlia narrowed her eyes. "It's not... vegetable dishes, right?"
Garion chuckled, shaking his head. "Of course not. I was just teasing you all earlier. Tonight's all about meat."
He paused, then added with a grin, "I've cooked something really delicious. A special recovery meal for everyone."
The disciples behind them froze. Their smiles faded instantly.
Rynor leaned toward his twin. "Did he just say... he's cooking?"
Rynar grimaced. "Yeah. And we've never actually eaten Master's cooking before."
Rynor frowned. "So is it good?"
Rynar shook his head in anger. "How would I know?"
