"No, this kind of evil group chat must be banned!"
She quickly invoked her cyber police privileges and was about to permanently ban the group chat called "Mature Women Band" when a new chat history suddenly popped up on the group chat interface.
[I'm the lead singer: Oh ho, is a new guitarist joining the band? Nice! Welcome to the Magical Vocational School family!]
“…A guitarist?” Mitu was stunned.
[Not a Neodymium: Thank you, lead singer! I used to play the highland drum at the Shuangxia Highland Association, and I'd like to learn an instrument that can play melodies!]
【Isn't that great?: Oh, you must be really good at strumming chords to the beat! Then I'll quit rhythm guitar and go back to playing the lute, isn't that great?】
[Invisible Man: Wait, does that mean I'll have to order another takeout every day?]
[I'm the lead singer: Hey, you bassists are always the ones who get the most work!]
[Invisible Man: Damn it! How can a man born between heaven and earth live a life of subservience? I quit!]
[Oh no! My friends in the group are so mean! No way! We promised to be in a band for life, if it weren't for Miss Invisible Man, Watashi...]
"..."
Mitu instinctively leaned back, then snapped back to reality, frowned, and quickly withdrew from the beacon. She patted her chest, still somewhat shaken, and muttered:
"I hope these guys don't spread the neodymium copper virus to me through the magic network... No, no, it's definitely better to have male colleagues like Latis who are more normal."
She shook her head and joined a different, more active group chat.
[Cyber police officer "Lost Rabbit" has joined the beacon "Hand of the Mage"]
"Huh? This beacon looks familiar?"
MiTu frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered that this was the beacon that had been blocked by her for posting erotic fan art before.
"They've already secretly won the revival match... But speaking of which, isn't the so-called 'Gutter Bro' just Lord Latis? Hmm, no, for the sake of my colleague's innocence, I need to thoroughly check for any other inappropriate images..."
She muttered something righteously in a low voice, then clenched her fist and began to stare at the "Hand of the Mage" beacon with an air of self-righteousness.
[Captain Jenny: Sigh, Gouzi is ignoring me, waaaaaah...]
[The magician, driven by interest: What happened?]
[Captain Jenny: I sent him a lewd drawing of Gouzi Ge by a junior artist!]
[Amateur sorcerer who's a full-time artist: T_T I was forced into this, please don't kill me, please don't kill me...]
[Magical Doll Fan: ...I hereby declare that all of Captain Jenny's words and actions have nothing to do with me. I am officially severing ties with the group members and will forever remain loyal to Gouzi!]
[Captain Jenny: Damn it! All these years of friendship in the group chat? Is it really over like this?]
[The true path of the Mage's Hand lies with me: If I can't win, I'll surrender first.]
[The Magician's Hobby: Captain Jenny, are you kidding me? Do you think you can provoke Gouzi like that? Rumor has it he has three heads, six arms, nine bulls, and twelve legs! You'd better tie yourself up and surrender to him!]
[Captain Jenny: ...That's something to consider. Maybe he'll be interested?]
[Magical Doll Enthusiast: No, Captain Jenny, you...]
[A magician driven by interest: So it turns out...]
[The Mage's Hand is the Righteous One: Has Things Progressed This Far With Gouzi?]
[Captain Jenny: Hehehe, yes, we have a child...]
[Magic doll enthusiast: Holy crap?]
[A magician driven by interest: Holy crap?]
[I'm selling groin in Atlantis: Holy crap?]
[I'm selling ditch in Atlantis: You haven't been online for half an hour and you've already spread a bunch of rumors about me, haven't you, Jenny Jenny!]
[Captain Jenny: Bhoo! There's a mole, Run!]
"..."
MiTu stared blankly at the chat history. These group members had been chatting for most of the day, but there wasn't a single erotic picture.
No, the important thing is that Latis actually showed up! He's been in the bathroom for so long and hasn't come back yet, could he have gone outside to chat in the group chat?
That's terrible! Doesn't she know how anxious she must be, all alone here?
Mito, slightly annoyed, disconnected the magic network and was about to leave the city lord's mansion to find Latis when she discovered that the restaurant at the other end of the corridor had already lit up.
"...Huh? Could it be that the city lord has returned?"
She hesitated for a moment, then felt that if the city lord had already returned, it would be better for her to pay her respects first, and also to say hello to Latis, who was probably wandering around outside chatting, so that the city lord wouldn't mistake him for a spy and arrest him.
Mitu took a deep breath, quickly straightened her clothes, stood up, and walked towards the restaurant.
As she took a few steps closer, she could smell the aroma of stew. Mitu rubbed her stomach and realized she was indeed a little hungry. She wondered where Latis was and whether he was coming to eat.
The food served at the Church of the Goddess is very bland, and doesn't have this kind of aroma...
Mitu shook her head, clearing her mind of distractions, and walked forward.
Suddenly, a magical puppet with the word "Servant" written on its chest pushed a food cart out of the restaurant, nearly colliding with Mitu.
Mitu was startled and quickly took two steps back, asking:
"Um, Lord City Lord, isn't that...?"
Before she could finish speaking, she stared into thought as she looked at the long, traditional maid's dress on the magical puppet.
Wait, something seems off...
Even magical puppets wear maid outfits?! That's so realistic!
She mentally complained, unconsciously opening her mouth, but for a moment she forgot what to say.
The waiter tilted his head, a faint blue light flashing in his eyes, gave a slight bow, and then pushed the food cart away.
"Keep a calm mind, keep a calm mind..."
Mitu raised her hands and patted her cheeks, then shook her head and resolutely stepped into the restaurant.
Upon entering the restaurant, there was a service room where waiters would wait for orders. The decision-maker, already dressed in a butler's uniform, was quietly waiting in the service room. Seeing Mitu enter, she blinked in surprise and asked:
"Priest, is there anything I can do for you?"
Mitu scratched her head. She had met this decision-maker when Silver Hur led her on a tour of Titania City. At the time, she was quite shocked by the alchemy technology that Titania City possessed, but fortunately, she had gotten used to it a little now.
She gave a slight bow and asked:
"Excuse me, has the city lord returned? I would like to pay him a visit. Also, my colleague seems to be lost in the city and hasn't returned yet. Could you help me find him?"
The decision-maker paused for a few seconds, glanced somewhat puzzled in the direction of the restaurant, and muttered to himself:
"Lord of the City...hasn't he always been here?"
However, since Mitu asked this question, there might be something she didn't know. The decision-maker thought for a moment, then said without explaining:
"The master is in the dining room, Your Excellency."
……
"I smell... a familiar scent."
Yashutia looked suspicious, bent down and sniffed the various plates covered on the table, then frowned as if she had discovered a landmine, pointed at one of the plates and shouted:
"This! This is it! Stir-fried chili peppers with chili peppers!"
Yin Xiuer suppressed a laugh, slightly lifted the lid to take a look, blinked in surprise, and said:
"It really is! I've never had it before, is it really that memorable? I can even tell just by smelling it!"
"Just kidding, it almost sent me back to my death box..." Yashutia stuck out her tongue in disgust, quickly ran to the other seat, and sat down sullenly.
"It's like Xiao La wants everyone to try this dish..."
Silver Hugh adjusted her glasses, having accurately guessed Latis's sinister intentions. Even so, she could only shake her head helplessly, still intending to taste it herself to satisfy Latis's curiosity.
"I think I heard someone say behind my back that I'm handsome?"
Suddenly, the back door of the restaurant opened, and Latis walked in carrying an enormous pot, which he slammed onto the table with a thud.
"Everyone! In the past few days, with the smooth flow of my blood and the similar resonance between my soul and the demonic runes, I have finally understood, I have comprehended!"
Latis clapped his hands and began to deliver an important speech.
"It turns out that I had been too presumptuous about the taste of my cooking before. As someone who can eat anything, my tolerance for different tastes is far beyond what most people can match! But I still want everyone to eat the food I cook!"
"So I thought, there must be a kind of deliciousness in this world that is closest to the essence! Suddenly, the word 'essence' caught my eye. I thought, isn't this somewhat similar to the rules of alchemy? By adding many ingredients, you can create a product that perfectly blends these ingredients!"
Latis stroked his chin, revealing a strange, toothy grin, and held up a finger, drawing his conclusion:
"Therefore, cooking is alchemy!"
"Wait..." A bead of cold sweat slid down Yashutia's cheek. She swallowed hard and asked tremblingly:
"So, brother... this big pot contains your alchemical creations... I mean, dishes?"
"Correct!"
Latis laughed heartily, grabbed the pot lid with his hand, and shouted loudly as he lifted it:
"La's first legendary dish is ready!"
Wow!
A golden light instantly filled the entire restaurant. Yashutia immediately covered her eyes, screamed in pain, and begged for mercy:
"It's too, too bright! It's going to burn me to a crisp, brother!"
"Oh, I'm sorry..."
Latis smiled awkwardly and turned off the magic light tube in his hand.
Yashutia and Yinshur both subconsciously rubbed their eyes, then stood up and looked inside the cauldron.
"……what?"
The two girls exchanged a glance, remained silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but whisper to each other:
"It looks... kind of good?"
……
