Chapter 140 Shameless Advertising, Medicine Cuisine, And The System's Method
while they did that, lucian turned his attention to the queue of hungry customers, "thank you all for your patience. please come in and make yourselves comfortable. also, remember to read my menu, there are two new additions — berry blast and sweet berry cream glazed dough balls.
the siren's melody poached and sous vide filet mignon pair perfectly with the sweet and fruity berry blast." lucian shamelessly advertised his dishes as he entered the kitchen. to be a successful business owner being shameless at times was essential. shame was a temporary emotion, which he could not be bothered about.
as lucian's voice faded, everyone, except lily had already taken their seats.
due to the restaurant only having five, four-person tables, they had to break up their groups and sit with others; however, they did not mind. in front of lucian's food, they could not care about such trivialities.
as they checked the menus, lily waited at the side. soon, exclamations of surprise rang in the restaurant.
"chef lucian was right, his new menu items are cheap! even we can order them!" garrett said as he read the two new additions to the menu.
"but would they still be as delicious as the other dishes?" hervy frowned. he was skeptical that lucian's berry blast and sweet berry cream glazed dough balls could compare to the siren melody poached egg and sous vide filet mignon. after all, if it was delicious, it would have been priced higher.
"i doubt chef lucian would create something that is not up to his high standards," garrett replied confidently.
"the berry blast is only five hundred gold coins?"
"who cares about the berry blast? you idiot, look at the next page, the sweet berry cream glazed dough balls are only fifty gold coins!"
"what? only fifty gold coins? since when have chef lucian's dishes been so cheap!?"
a moment later, the nobodies could not help but stiffen as they realized they had said five hundred gold coins and fifty gold coins were cheap. before witnessing lucian's terrifying prices, food priced in silver coins was astronomical, let alone food priced in gold coins.
'has my worldview changed?' they thought.
"miss, senior said he would be adding a new dish called cheese and herb garlic butter dough balls. but it's not on the menu." james respectfully said to the waitress. ever since he realized how close she was with lucian, his attitude toward her changed.
lily frowned. "it's not on there?"
'could it be big brother lucian forgot to add the dish to the menu?' she wondered.
"if you want to eat the cheese and herb garlic butter dough balls you will have to wait until i return from my trip to harmony city." lucian simply explained from within the kitchen.
james sighed "haah, i was looking forward to it. i don't have a particular fondness for sweet foods."
"hmm, chef lucian what do you mean by your trip to harmony city?" garm, who had been reading the menu, became stunned as he overheard their alarming conversation.
[i'll look through the system shop while we're traveling to harmony city.] lucian said after being slightly startled by the wondrous medical cuisine. once again, he felt he was no longer in the celeste universe. he had many pieces of evidence that could back his theory.
"big brother lucian, can lily go play with osiris now? lily will be back soon to serve the dishes." lily asked expectantly.
lucian nodded without a change in his expression, "of course. also, you don't have to worry about serving. go have fun with osiris because we won't be back until possibly tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. otherwise, if you enter the spatial farm within the carriage, someone might become suspicious."
"yay," lily exclaimed with a blush as she hopped into the pink bed in the corner of the kitchen. soon, her vision faded as she entered the spatial farm.
osiris, who had been sleeping on the grass under the warm rays of the sun, suddenly opened his eyes as he sensed a faint fluctuation in the surrounding atmosphere.
a moment later, previously where there was nothing but empty air, the figure of a pink-haired girl appeared, causing osiris' eyes to widen in excitement and happiness.
"l-li..." osiris tried to call out her name but gave up after a few moments. instead, he rushed over and stopped a foot away.
"lily missed you too, osiris!" lily giggled, materialized her beautiful transparent pink wings, and flew up to pat his head.

"who's a good boy!? did you have fun playing with big brother lucian?"
hearing this, osiris' tail dropped. yesterday, his master did indeed come to check up on him, but let alone play with him, he had merely glanced at him for a second, then disappeared.
noticing his depressed behavior, lily furrowed her brows.
"what's wrong, osiris? did you not have fun with my big brother lucian?"
osiris looked up at lily floating slightly above his eyes pitifully. he wanted to pour out his grievances, but how could he?
"although my big brother lucian looks indifferent most of the time, he is very kind and warm." lily continued with a dreamy look, her mind completely dominated by her big brother lucian.
"grrr," osiris growled in frustration at his ineptitude to speak in arcadian.
[titan drunken blood monkey... no, it's osiris now, huh? anyway, if you want to communicate with lily, i have the perfect method. would you like to hear it?]
the mechanical voice osiris had become used to hearing sounded in his mind, instantly, causing his expression to brighten and his tail to loudly beat against the ground behind him.
taking that as his acceptance to listen to the system's advice, it explained, [it's quite simple, lucian, your master, does not care for you, then why continue to serve him?]
