Chapter 47: Hostess of Fertility
Soon, the group arrived in front of the "Hostess of Fertility."
It was a building that looked quite old. The rustic wooden sign was carved with elegant font, blending perfectly with the surrounding environment and exuding a peaceful and serene atmosphere.
As soon as they approached, a pretty figure came out from the door, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"My, isn't this Mr. Aiden?"
Standing at the door, the waitress Syr Flova recognized Aiden at a glance. Her lively eyes lit up instantly. She stepped forward quickly to welcome them, then puffed out her cheeks in feigned grievance, complaining slightly:
"I thought you all forgot. You said you would come, but you only showed up now. If you hadn't come, Ryu would have cried from waiting anxiously."
Syr's tone was playful and cute; anyone could hear she was joking.
But, there happened to be a straightforward, honest elf who was a bit dense and couldn't detect the teasing.
"Syr, wh-what are you talking about!"
The green-haired elf who had appeared behind Syr at some point was dumbfounded upon hearing this.
She waved her hands in a panic, wanting to explain something, but her pretty face flushed red. Even her iconic pointed ears were dyed a lovely shade of pink.
"Syr is bullying Ryu again, nya."
A cute cat-girl waitress also poked her fluffy head out from behind the door. She spoke with the characteristic verbal tic of the Cat People, looking curiously at Aiden and his group.
For some reason, the moment he saw this cat-girl waitress, a thought inexplicably popped into Aiden's mind: This kid looks kinda goofy.
Just as there was laughter and chatter at the door, a steady and powerful voice came from inside the pub.
"What are you lot doing making a racket at the door? Can't you see there are guests? Are you going to make the guests stand outside forever?"
Hearing this voice, whether it was the black-bellied Syr, the flustered Ryu, or the spectating Anya, their bodies all trembled subconsciously, and they instantly stood up straight.
"Very sorry, Mama Mia!"
Syr quickly bowed deeply toward the shop to apologize, then swiftly adjusted her expression. She stuck out her tongue at Aiden and the others, playfully closing one eye in an attempt to use cuteness to cover up their "rudeness" just now.
Aiden and the others naturally didn't mind, smiling to indicate it was fine.
Subsequently, led by Syr and Ryu, the group entered the "Hostess of Fertility."
The interior decoration of the pub was completely different from the adventurer pub Aiden had imagined.
There were no dim lights, pungent smell of alcohol, or rude clamor. Instead, there was bright and soft lighting, clean and tidy tables and chairs, and a warm, comfortable atmosphere.
The staff were all beautiful girls with their own unique characteristics, while the one sitting behind the counter, exuding a powerful aura just by being there, was a terrifyingly burly proprietress.
Because there were many of them, Syr and Ryu led them to a huge long table capable of seating more than a dozen people.
"Please wait a moment."
Ryu turned to leave after speaking, while Syr handed a thick menu to Aiden.
She judged with precision just by a glance that this youngest white-haired boy was the undisputed center of this group—even though two genuine gods were sitting among them.
Shortly after ordering, the cat-girl Anya walked over carrying several plates of appetizers.
"Nya, I am Anya, nya."
She set the dishes down one by one, then looked curiously at Aiden. "Because you are Ryu's friends, nya, Mama Mia said these dishes are on the house, nya. Don't stand on ceremony, nya."
"Hello, Anya. Thank you."
Aiden nodded with a smile, then raised his glass toward the proprietress behind the counter. "And many thanks to Manager Mia."
The burly female manager known as Mia just glanced at them faintly and said in a tone devoid of ripples, "No need. Just eat more, drink more, come more often, and spend more money."
"Uh..." A drop of cold sweat appeared on Aiden's forehead. That was truly undisguised pragmatism.
"Hahahaha, Manager Mia is the same as always, hasn't changed a bit," Takemikazuchi laughed loudly upon seeing this.
He explained to Aiden and the others, "The food and ale in this shop are top-tier in Orario. And the atmosphere is much more harmonious compared to other adventurer pubs. If you don't like those chaotic and noisy places, you can't go wrong coming here."
Robin and Hyacine Jin also nodded in agreement, very satisfied with the environment and atmosphere here.
Compared to places like the "Flame Peak Pavilion" Aiden had visited before, this was practically a paradise of safety and tranquility.
After all, most adventurers weren't exactly mild-tempered people. After drinking, there were plenty who would get drunk and rowdy, drink to drown their sorrows, or start fights over a single disagreement.
As the saying goes, alcohol emboldens the coward.
However, in this pub, although adventurers would still shout and make noise when the atmosphere reached a climax, not a single person dared to actually cause trouble.
Because everyone who had caused trouble had been thrown out like trash by that terrifyingly built female manager, Mia.
Others might not know, but as a transmigrator, Aiden remembered clearly.
This female owner, Mia Grand, although "retired," was the former Captain of the Freya Familia, a genuine Level 6 top-tier adventurer with the title "Demi-Ymir."
Moreover, apart from this hidden boss of a manager, the other waitresses in this shop weren't easy to deal with either.
Among them were powerful adventurers like Ryu, who reached Level 4, and there was more than just one.
It could be said that this seemingly ordinary and warm pub was a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons resided.
Inside the pub, the atmosphere warmed up rapidly amidst the food and conversation.
Furina's mood was obviously excellent; her small body almost seemed to float with excitement.
Thinking that Aiden was about to level up and that their Focalors Familia would soon have its first genuine, Guild-certified Upper-Class Adventurer, she couldn't help but want to sing a song loudly.
Having an Upper-Class Adventurer was of extraordinary significance to a new, nameless Familia.
It represented that the Familia finally had the qualifications to gain a firm foothold in this city of Orario, where the weak are prey to the strong.
Although there was still a long way to go before reaching those powerful Familias hailed as the backbone of the city, this was undoubtedly an incredibly wonderful beginning.
