"And then what happened~?" Zoe asked her cheek tinged with the color of intoxication. Her eyes were shining, like little stars as she asked excitedly.
She was sited to his right. At some point she had drunk one of the alcoholic drinks on the table and now she leaned on him, her head rested on his shoulder.
"Yes, yes. Please tell us what happens next Friend [White]." This was the bright voice of another waitress who had been attracted by Mikael story of his mission world.
Her name was [Kori]. What was especially noticeable about her was her height, about 6.4 tall. She had wavy red hair and bright green eyes.
Her body was perfectly proportionated with perfect curves and large bountiful assets enough to catch anyone's attention. Despite this, she was oddly quite innocent.
Her simple smile and expression show her nature easily.
"Hey [kori] get back to work and stop disturbing the new guy." [OldMita] appeared out of nowhere and urged the girl for who know how many times now.
She was able to see the look in [Kori]'s eyes and she could only sigh in annoyance. What made it even worse was that [Kori] was still ignoring her.
But she had to say, this newbie [White] had quite a way with words.
"Oh then, he approached me, thinking I couldn't move and all. You know he used his ability, so he was very confident. Then he said 'Were both going to enjoy these…' and before he could finish Whaammm. I punched him in the face! Hahaha."
"Hahaha, that's so funny!" A random Dreamer shouted while bursting out in laughter.
"Who did that guy think he was. He must have watched to many movies!" Another shouted, making the crown laugh even more.
"Damn Infiltrators, they all deserve to die!"
A mountain of food had been brought to Mikael's table. Varity of them. Meat dishes he had never heard of, plants he could only imagine and many more.
The sheer number of the plates forced three other tables to be added to their own, and with that a crowd was attracted to the interesting event.
Could he eat all of that, they had asked curiously only to be met with immense shock. This [White] guy was putting away food as if he had never eaten a day in his life.
A second of blinking and a plate was cleared! This act had attracted quite the attention even from the waitresses who the other Dreamers had been trying but failing to impress.
How dare he try to steal their dear [Kori]! This was something they could not accept. It was only fair when they were all rejected…
The fact that this [White] guy had another beauty sitted next to him only made them even more jealous. So of course when they heard that the guy was a newbie, they insisted he tell them about how his first mission was. Their intention was for the newbie to embarrass himself.
Who among them had a good time in their Newbie missions. But they had clearly underestimated this charming bastard.
He was quite a good storyteller, and did they say that his smile was especially charming. What had sealed the deal and made them respect the newbie was how he had handled an infiltrator within his mission world.
To bait someone that was stronger than you and strike them, that took guts and a lot of insanity! The longer they listened the more the look in their eyes changed, some more calculating and some with waryness.
"Could you shut up with your bragging, no one wants to hear your bullshit!" An annoyed man's slur came suddenly instantly killing the laughing crowd.
A man pushed through the crowd surrounding their table. He had an annoyed look on his face and a cunning light in his eyes. As if he were planning something. He was even more sure with how his eyes were darting around.
He must have been quite well known, one look from him made many Dreamers look away, avoiding even commenting on the man's rudeness.
"Hey newbie, for ruining my mood with your lies, why don't you give me everything you ordered." The man said with pure provocation in his voice. None moved to interfere.
Dreamers were simply like that, this small show actually attracted their attention even more. They were curious how [White] would react. They wanted to see if his story was nothing more than his imagination.
[Zoe] kept her calm, but the edge in her eyes quickly returned waiting for the man's actions. [Kori] also sitted beside him was the most uncaring. She was in fact helping herself to his deserts, eating happily with puffed mouth.
"Ohhh, your hungry. You should have just said so…" Mikael gave the man the same wide smile he would give a dog he found begging for food. The man could already see his mockery, so could the other Dreamers.
Splat!
"…Here take these, that should be enough for you. You know my mother always told me to always feed strays. "He casually picked up a large chicken leg from one of his plate and casually tossed it to the ground.
His words mocking and extremely insulting could even anger a monk what about a hot head Dreamer.
"Hahaha, [FlameFist] are you so poor that your begging for food from a newbie."
"Pftttt, [FlameFist] you should have just come to me, I'm sure I could lend you some Dream points. Hahaha."
The Dreamers could not help themselves, their mocking tones only making the scowl on [FlameFist] grow further. The temperature around him was growing hotter, his expression growing more viscous.
"Huh, why aren't you taking it… Oh I get it, your also thirsty. Here!" Mikael again took a mug from the table filled with an ice-cold beverage, he tilted the mug and the drink spilled to the floor.
There was a moment of silence after which the surrounding again burst out in joint laughter and mockery. To be this embarrassed by a newbie, if [FlameFist] knew this was going to happen, he would not have agreed to do these. But there was no turning back now.
"You little fucker!" [flameFist] shouted his hand bursting into bright red flames. He then swung his fist forward, directly at that mocking smile, he would crush that smile to paste.
"Zoe…" Mikael said suddenly but he did not move away from the punch.
Sweep
Faster than even the flame fist that was approaching was [Kat] who had appeared suddenly into the crowd. Her movements were fast her hands moving in a way that was almost like a dance and just like that [flamefist] suddenly stopped moving, his bodying going stiff.
A growing fear instantly appeared within his eyes. Now he had remembered whose restaurant he was in and he regretted immediately his stupidity. His body suddenly retracted standing stiffly with his hands to his side.
"…Don't kill him. "Mikael spoke quietly to Zoe whose arm had already changed into a long rifle. If not, a head would have already burst open. Many looked at her in shock. Wasn't this an inheritance. How could a Newbie have an Inheritance?
"Hey you idiots. There is no fighting in my place." [OldMita] also suddenly appeared. Just after Zoe's arm had gone back to normal.
"You get out." She finally stumped her way towards [flamefist] and easily picked his still stiff body up.
"Wait." Mikael said to her retreating back, quickly detangling himself from the now calmed Zoe and the doe eyed [Kori]
"What now kid, haven't you already caused enough trouble. Don't think I won't throw you out as well." [OldMita] warned but Mikael remained undisturbed. He stood up on the wide wooden table.
"I told you all the story of how I beat up that Infiltrator, but I'm sure you would all like to know his name as well!" Mikael shouted. The crowd's excitement growing again.
"Yeah, tell us." One man with green hair shouted.
"Say that losers name!"
"Go ahead handsome and let me reward you after." A scantily dressed woman said winking her eyes.
Mikael smiled, those with enough sense felt the growing bad feeling but no one moved to stop him. This Dreamer [White] he was just to entertaining.
"The half baked, shit ugly face loser that I beat up his name was [Carnifex]!" Mikael shouted but his eyes remained on one corner of the Tavern, where [flamefist] eyes had been wandering. Where he had sensed an odd presence.
The group wore black cloaks, which wasn't strange. What was strange was the lack of other Dreamers around them, a sort of Isolation.
"Hahaha, wait what did he just say…"
"Shit did he say [Carnifex], I'm getting out of here."
"Fuck, the newbie saw his face. Well, it was good knowing you."
Shock and fear had immediately taken over the crowd's emotions. Was this newbie serious. It was highly likely.
Because there was no other reason to joke about with an infamous person such as [Carnifex] that bloody madman. They wanted to quickly pull away the stupid newbie from up there before he got them involved in his mess.
"That's enough kid, you should stop before you regret it… "[ OldMita] warned kindly and Mikael finaly felt it was enough. This was of course after he had raised his mug up high.
He then mouthed the words he heard [Carnifex] say before their battle had begun to the group that [Flamefist] had been constantly looking at. His words had clearly caused a spike in their emotions and that was all he needed to know.
'Valar Morghulis.' The sudden spike that he sensed from them was enough for him. He sat back down, his arm wrapping around the two once again. The tower was truly interesting.
