Volume 6 Chapter 75
by Golden DragonVolume 6 + Chapter 75: Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat
Upon seeing the situation inside the city of Molent, Xia Yi’s silver pupils trembled.
This was a sight she had never witnessed in her life.
In a bustling, prosperous city filled with endless streams of traffic, so many different races were actually… coexisting in harmony?
An elven bard was singing on the street. A noble of the vampire clan stood under the shade of a parasol, stopping to watch. Human merchants loudly hawked their wares. Giants worked as porters, carrying goods…
“Am I seeing this correctly?”
Xia Yi rubbed her eyes.
Did a city truly exist in this world where higher races and ordinary races lived together in harmony?
Based on her knowledge, some of these races had inherent conflicts with one another. There was no way they could meet and remain amicable.
Yet in Molent, none of the conflicts one might expect from racial tensions had occurred.
“…Am I not inside the Elven Kingdom? Why would the elves allow so many outsiders to live here?”
Xia Yi grew increasingly confused.
The layout of this city hardly seemed like it belonged to the Elven Kingdom at all.
It felt more like… a dream?
She pinched her cheek. It was not a dream.
Nor could it be an illusion.
The elves were not masters of illusion magic. Moreover, the little fox had once lent her the power of the Fox God. Having possessed that power before, her perception of illusions was now far keener than before. If this were an illusion, she would definitely have noticed.
“I can’t figure it out…”
Xia Yi sighed.
She decided to wander around Molent a bit longer to gather more information and see if she had made some mistake.
… …
“Is Molent some kind of paradise?”
After walking around the city for a while, Xia Yi arrived at this conclusion.
The most typical example was seeing a beastman and a vampire clan member drinking together at the entrance of a bar.
Not long ago, during the First Great Earth War, under the command of the Vampire Clan Progenitor Elizabeth, the vampire clan’s airship squadrons had launched a surprise attack on the Beastman Alliance, swiftly captured their capital, and nearly brought the Beastman Alliance to the brink of annihilation.
Although the vampire clan had withdrawn their forces after the war ended and returned the occupied territories to the beastman, the two races had still forged a blood feud.
Such deep national hatred meant the beastman and vampire clan should be locked in a life-and-death struggle. Yet now, these two races were… drinking merrily together?
No matter how open-minded one was, this was impossible!
Seeing those two drinking together, Xia Yi even had the illusion that the First Great Earth War had never happened.
Other races had similar situations.
Xia Yi had not yet seen any dragons, so she could not ask her own kind about their situation.
Grumble, grumble, grumble~
As she walked, Xia Yi felt her stomach growl. She realized she had not eaten in a long time.
Ever since entering the Elven Kingdom, she had been so focused on all the bizarre occurrences that she had forgotten to eat.
Once this thought surfaced, the little silver dragon felt hunger overwhelm her like a tidal wave.
So hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry!
If dragons did not eat, they would die!!
“I think I passed by a restaurant earlier. I’ll go there!” Xia Yi made her decision.
She changed direction and arrived at a restaurant she had passed before. After hesitating for a moment in front of the human greeter at the entrance, she stepped forward.
The human server looked at Xia Yi and paused for a moment.
Xia Yi expected her to let out a terrified scream, run away, or call for others to attack her.
Instead, the server smiled politely. “Excuse me, young dragon lady, are you dining alone?”
“…Yes.”
“Understood. Please follow me. I will find you a suitable seat.”
The server led Xia Yi into the restaurant.
Following behind, Xia Yi felt a strong sense of unreality.
She was actually able to receive normal service at a human-run restaurant so smoothly?
This was treatment she would never have dared to imagine in the past.
After seating Xia Yi at a table for one, the server handed her a menu.
“Young dragon lady, here is the menu. Please take a look.”
Xia Yi took the menu and flipped through it.
“Oh, I’ll have… this, this, this, this, and this.”
“Also that, that, that, and that!”
“Oh, and this, this, this…”
She ordered nearly every item on the menu.
“Will you be able to finish all that by yourself?” the server asked.
“Yes, barely…” Xia Yi felt she could just about get full.
“Dragons truly are extraordinary,” the server said in amazement. The idea that a dragon could barely finish this much food was astonishing.
“Because you ordered quite a lot, it might take a little longer to bring everything out.”
“That’s fine.”
“Very well. Please wait a moment.” The server took the menu to the kitchen.
Xia Yi sat in her seat and looked around.
There were many outsiders here too, but unlike at the tavern in Sanger Town, these people did not stare at her as if she were a rare animal. They treated her normally.
“Heart Demon.”
“…”
“Heart demon, heart demon, heart demon, heart demon, heart demon!” Xia Yi urgently called out to her heart demon.
“What now?” Heart Demon Xia Yi appeared.
“It’s mealtime. I was calling you to see if you wanted to eat something too.”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
“Eating food you like brings satisfaction to the spirit.”
“Hmph, ridiculous. I have no need to satisfy myself with food,” Heart Demon Xia Yi replied firmly. “I don’t even have any favorite foods!”
“Alright…”
“Where are you now? Is this the Elven Kingdom?” Heart Demon Xia Yi looked around. “How come these people aren’t afraid of us?”
“Well, here’s the situation.”
Xia Yi explained what had happened to her heart demon.
Heart Demon Xia Yi found it just as unbelievable.
“Heart Demon, is this some kind of spiritual world?”
“…No. If it were, I would be able to tell. This is the real world,” Heart Demon Xia Yi replied.
“So it really is reality.” Xia Yi was utterly baffled.
After a while, the server began bringing out the dishes.
Whatever questions she had could wait until after eating. For now, eating was the most important thing!
With that thought, the silver dragon loli began her meal.
Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat…
After Xia Yi finished a mountain of food, the table was piled high with stacked plates.
Life energy replenished!
“Server, the bill, please.” Xia Yi called the server.
“Certainly. The total for your meal comes to approximately…”
“Keep the change. The rest is a tip.”
Xia Yi took out gold coins from her frog wallet and placed them on the table.
The amount she had taken out should be far more than the cost of the meal. The surplus could serve as a tip, enough to make the server happy, and she could also ask for some information.
But to her surprise, upon seeing the gold coins, the server did not break into a smile. Instead, he froze for a moment, and when he looked at Xia Yi again, his expression had changed.
“Miss, are you making fun of me? Where is the money for your bill?”
