Chapter 107 The Life of the Common People
Elise Sophi Net, the owner of Torrendo’s prestigious clothing store "Afternoon Tea", was extremely elegant in terms of his clothing style and behavior. In addition, he himself was even more charming, filled with the demeanor of a well-mannered lady.
But he was a man.
Shoulder-length long hair, a pair of bright eyes that seemed to be rippling with water, delicate and fair skin, slender and soft body, this was definitely the standard appearance of men's dream lovers.
But he was a man.
"Uh, you came all the way from Torrendo?"
Reiner just remembered that a week ago, when he took the students to Torrendo to take the first mock test of the magic test, he and Claire went to the clothing store in the city to buy a few dresses. Because the dresses were handmade, he agreed to pick up the dresses in a week.
It was just that Reiner thought the other party was just joking, but he didn't expect that he would really deliver the clothes to the door.
On the table next to the sofa were several flat boxes, which were obviously dresses made for Claire.
"Yes, I actually came here last night, but I thought it would be impolite to talk late at night, so I took a rest for the night and came here today."
Elise said in an impeccable tone. With the neat and tidy dress now, he was like a gentleman.
"Mr. Ian Gray, did I interrupt you?"
"No, I'm just about to go to lunch."
Reiner thought for a while. The other party came from far away to deliver him the clothes, he had to welcome him warmly no matter what. So he said.
"Uh... Mr. Sophi Net, would you like to have lunch with me?"
"This... I'm really honored to have lunch with Mr. Ian Gray, but am I really qualified?"
For the first time, Elise showed a flustered look on his face, it was like a concubine facing the tyrannical king. He said hesitantly, full of unconfidence.
"Uh... You are flattering me."
A drop of cold sweat broke out on Reiner’s forehead. Although it was a good thing to be surrounded by fans, if his fan was a man and a man who looked much prettier than a woman, he really didn't know what kind of expression he should use.
"Please follow me."
After thinking about it, Reiner decided to ignore it. He then took Elise to the canteen of Luna Nova Magical Academy. It was time for the students to have lunch, and most of the students had gathered in the canteen.
On weekdays, Reiner would ask Mrs. Freya to help prepare food for him when he was too busy. But normally, he would eat in the canteen like other students. On the one hand, he wanted to build a deeper understanding with the students, on the other hand, the food in the canteen was not that bad.
Asking Elise to re-tie his hair, Reiner and him walked into the canteen. The students were no longer surprised to see the principal appearing in the canteen, but when they saw Elise behind him, they couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"Who is that person, so handsome." "Seems like a noble?" "No, I still think the principal is more handsome. That person feels like a girl." "There must be something indescribable going on between these two people..." "That person seems to be staring at us, isn't he a pervert?"
Elise didn't care about these comments at all, he looked around like a curious child, his eyes wandering in the girls' short skirts of sailor uniforms.
"Are these skirts the school uniforms you mentioned before, Mr. Ian Gray?"
Elise said excitedly, and couldn't help but glance at the skirts again.
To him, these girls were just Mannequin, and all his attention was entirely on the skirts.
"Yes, this is designed and modified by one of my students and me. If you have time in the afternoon, I can introduce you to her."
Reiner said. He brought Elise to the canteen window. Here, the dull alchemy creatures were working as the chef and waiter. As long as one told it what kind of food they wanted, the alchemy creatures would prepare it.
This kind of alchemy creature was not a human form, but more like a machine, with metal arms moving back and forth to prepare food for students.
Reiner ordered a portion of potatoes, green bean meat sauce, smoked ribs, a glass of apple juice. and Elise only took a few slices of white bread and vegetable bacon salad, and a small piece of butter.
The two chose an empty table to sit down on, and as soon as they were seated, Elise said happily.
"Since graduating from school, I haven't been to this style of the cafeteria for three years. It feels really nostalgic."
Elise used a knife to spread the butter evenly on the bread elegantly and then nibbled on it, like a hamster.
Reiner didn't pay attention to table manners. He peeled the hot potatoes, swallowed them with meat sauce, and took another bite of tender and juicy ribs, full of satisfaction.
"Watching you eat, it even made me more hungry."
Elise smiled and used a fork to send the small tomato in the salad into his mouth.
"Sorry, I am very hungry after finishing the experiment in the morning."
Reiner peeled another potato. This time, he dipped it in the salt and the pepper in the corner of the meal plate and took a bite out of it.
He was very fond of this way of eating. He only needed to cook potatoes in salt water, Then the potatoes could be paired with a variety of different sauces. Even just sprinkling of salt would make it a delicacy. On the earth, he often used this method to relieve hunger when he was a child.
It was just that in this world, nobles didn't like this way of eating because this was the way of eating for farmers and small vendors, but Reiner didn't care that much.
"Do you want one?"
Reiner looked at the food on Elise’s meal plate. It didn't seem to be enough for an adult man. He didn't know if he was restrained in front of him, so he asked.
"Me? This, this is very embarrassing. There is no need..."
Elise hurriedly refused. How would he dare to eat his idol's food. Moreover, the etiquette he learned from a young age also told him that he should not eat the food on other people's plates.
But Reiner had already peeled the third potato to himself, dipped it with some meat sauce, and put it on Elise's plate.
"It's okay, try it, it is really delicious."
Seeing Reiner’s sincere eyes, Elise was too embarrassed to refuse anymore. He looked at the steaming potato that was covered in meat sauce, carefully cut them with a knife, and put a small bit into his mouth.
The slight saltiness and the unique fresh taste of potatoes spread quickly in his mouth, and the meat sauce further lifted this taste to an unspeakable level. Although compared to the expensive delicacies that Elise used to eat, this potato was a little bit inferior, it contained a novel taste experience.
He had never eaten potatoes like this before. This common way of eating made Elise experience a new world.
