Gentle music was played by the musician. The luxurious interior and service as well as the grandiose menu were the main attraction of the restaurant. And in there, Kaguya was enjoying her meal while once in a while trying to feed Mana who sat beside her. Blade also enjoyed his meal he had ordered. The only one who was being restless was just Erica.
"Umm... Blade-san."
Erica called.
"What is it?"
Blade stopped his hand and replied.
"When you asked me to join you for a dinner, I thought you would bring me to the nearby diner. I really didn't expect that you'll invite me to such expensive restaurant."
Erica explained.
"Huh? Is something wrong with that?"
Blade asked.
"Well, you see... A grand restaurant like this is commonly used by the higher ups, nobles, and public figures. As I am just a commoner I think I'm not that comfortable with that. Also, it might be quite troublesome if someone see you with me here."
Erica said.
"Trouble? Why? I choose this restaurant because the security is good and there's unlikely any ruffian to mess with us as I am the only male among us. Lily's also quite some magnet for troubles too sometimes. And my idiot pupil has some short fuse. That's why I choose the place where there would be unlikely a fight will broke out."
Blade explained.
"But, if someone see you with someone with my race, you might-"
Before she could finish, a voice called out rudely.
"Oya, since when this restaurant has some pest allowed to dine here?"
Blade looked at the source and saw a male tiger beastkin followed by several men in butler uniform. He was looking toward Erica with ridicule. Blade also saw that the eyes of the other customers were looking at her in disgust.
"..."
Erica looked down and fell silent.
"Just ignore them, Erica-san."
Blade said.
"I-Ignore them? Is there anyone who can still eating calmly in this state?"
Erica whispered. Blade chuckled and pointed at the two sitting at his opposite. Mana was happily chewing her meal as Kagura was also eating hers. Erica was hesitant at first, but then he abide his suggestion.
"Oi, are you ignoring me? You taboo race!!"
The tigerkin said with louder voice. Blade put down his knife and fork. He stood from his seat and faced the tigerkin.
"My apologies but currently we're still having our meal here.If you have something to say, please wait for a while. I might be a tolerant person but if you kept bothering then please forgive me if I might be using a forceful method."
Blade said. He said with calm tone and smiling face. He was acting as polite as possible. But, his eyes were saying otherwise. The butlers who were acting as the tigerkin's guard had their back drenched in cold sweat. They all knew that the gentleman in front of them was someone who couldn't be messed up with.
"Huh? You still don't understand? What I'm telling you is- huh? What are you talking about? Huh?"
His grandiose complaints were stopped midway when one of his butlers whispered something to him. Without waiting for the tiger beastkin finished his words, Blade had returned to his seat and resumed his meal. Before he could finish his meal, a glass of fruit juice was splashed toward the table and ruined the foods.
Mana who saw this scene became teary eyed. Kagura looked at the culprit with full hostility. Blade's aura also changed completely. His calm aura had changed into the threatening one. Only Erica was in panic for being the main cause of the conflict.
"AH!! Dear Customer, please don't use violence in our restaurant if possible!! I might get fired!!"
The waiter said in panic.
"Hey, brat!! Do you know that wasting food is not a good thing? Did your parents not teach you that?"
Blade said. He was completely snapped there. His pressuring aura spread throughout the room. The glassware were vibrating after resonating with the aura. There were even several wine bottles which cracked from it.
SLAM!!
The entrance was opened in hurry. Several people with armors rushed inside. Blade glanced at them with disinterest.
"Eh? Eh?!!"
Erica become more and more panicked.
"Would you mind to tone down your aura please? This area belongs to the upper district so violence is not permitted."
A man wearing thick plate armor said. He entered the restaurant grandly.
"Commander Ferdinand!!"
Erica gave a salute.
"Oh? Captain Lynx, it's quite unexpected to see you in this place. Then, would you mind to explain what's happening here?"
Ferdinand asked.
"I was just having a dinner with my companions here when suddenly this brat came and spouting nonsense. He also ruined our food."
Blade said.
"Is that true?"
Ferdinand asked the waitress. He asked with calm tone but deep inside he was very wary of Blade. He was an experienced person. He felt that Blade had the might to kill everyone in this place no in the whole town by himself in short time.
"Ah, yes. This gentleman and his companions were eating their meals as per he said. However..."
The waitress said hesitantly.
"This man had brought a dirty taboo race into this restaurant. I just tell him to make that girl out of this place."
The tiger beastkin said.
"Then, I suppose you might say that I must chase the guest I invited? What a great manner your parents has taught you."
Blade said sarcastically.
"WHAT YOU SAY?!! Don't insult my parents!!"
The tiger beastkin snapped.
"Please calm down, Ricardio-sama. This man is no person you must offend. If you do, you might bring nothing but shame to your family."
Ferdinand warned.
"Umm... If possible, may I know your name? And what might your purpose coming to this town?"
Ferdinand asked.
"My name is Blade. I'm currently traveling by the order of my lord to find a place to settle in. But, it seems like this place is no good too huh?"
Blade said.
"What's happening here?!! I heard that my son had made a commotion so I came."
A tiger beastkin came into the restaurant. He wore an expensive outfit which had indicated his status. Blade looked at him with tired looks. It seems like another troublesome guy had appeared.
"Ricardio!! What kind of trouble you have caused here!!"
The old beastkin said.
"Papa!! This guy started it!! He dared to bring a filthy taboo race into the restaurant!!"
Ricardio said pointing his finger at Blade.
"Is that so? It seems like there's someone who dares to do such outrageous thing here."
The old beastkin said. He advanced forward. A person who looked like his aide suddenly whispered something to him. The old beastkin suddenly became pale. His body was trembling. He looked down and walked closer to Blade.
"MY DEEPEST APOLOGIES, ELDER!! THIS LOWLY ORLANDO HAS DONE SOMETHING RUDE!!"
He did a splendid dogeza right away. Blade looked at the aide who had whispered something to him and he bowed politely. Everyone else inside the room were shocked seeing such spectacle. Only Mana and Kagura who were still glaring at Ricardio for their grudge over the food. And after that, a mediation was done at Orlando's residence.
