Chapter 12 - Syr: So Annoying!
"Delicious! Indeed, money makes everything better."
Walking on the bustling streets of Orario, Ethan's mouth was full of grease.
Due to the influence of 'All the Evils of the World,' all the food Ethan consumed would be converted into the energy his body required, resulting in a 'being full' sensation.
Moreover, Ethan didn't have to worry about gaining weight from overeating, so, as long as he wanted, he could keep eating, as it was just a way to replenish energy.
Because of this, Ethan completely let loose and tried everything he wanted to eat.
In life, only 'beautiful women' and 'delicious food' should not be missed.
Hostess of Fertility is a famous tavern in Orario that not only offered delicious food but also had beautiful young waitresses, attracting countless people for visual enjoyment.
However, although each waitress was beautiful, none of them were simple.
Without exception, anyone who tried to cause trouble here ended up dying miserably, becoming a negative teaching material.
"Welcome, may I ask what this adventurer gentleman needs?"
Ethan wandered around aimlessly and ended up here, where a pleasant female voice greeted him.
Turning around, he was instantly captivated.
With short gray hair and dressed in a green outfit resembling a maid's uniform, she exuded a naturally charming temperament that easily won people's favor.
Syr Flova, the signboard girl of Hostess of Fertility, was also a well-known beauty in Orario.
Of course, she had another identity – she was the alternate persona of the goddess of beauty, Freya.
Due to her innate charm, even if she just appeared on the street, Freya would instantly become the focus of everyone.
Coincidentally, one day, Freya encountered a strange child.
The child harbored extreme disgust and even wanted to give up her own body.
Upon seeing Freya's beauty, the child wished to become like her, surprising and intriguing Freya.
Freya brought this child back to her residence, and later, the original Syr offered her name to Freya.
In return, she received the name 'Horn' and gained the magic to transform into Freya (as well as the Syr we know), sharing five senses with Freya and unilaterally experiencing Freya's emotions.
Afterward, Freya, using Syr's identity, worked hard at the tavern (for having fun).
If Freya was not present, Horn would act in her role in Freya Familia.
Now, the person in front of Ethan is definitely Freya herself.
Previously, Ethan was charmed by Freya and only recovered due to the backlash of 'All the Evil of the World,' which made Ethan have some complicated feelings toward Freya.
"Oh, really worthy of being burdened with 'All the Evil of the World.' Did you recognize me so quickly?"
Seeing Ethan's expression and especially the fleeting 'astonishment,' Syr knew that she had been recognized.
However, she didn't feel angry; instead, she was quite intrigued.
After all, this alternate persona of hers had never been exposed, and now a child from the mortal world had recognized her with a single glance, making her even more interested in Ethan.
Moreover, although nothing was told, Syr knew that Ethan would definitely not expose her in public.
Looking at Ethan, Syr found it amusing, but now she was 'Syr,' not 'Freya,' so her current task was to lead the guest inside.
"Are you here to dine?"
"Uh, yes."
Looking at her gaze, how could Luke say no?
"How many people?"
"Just one!"
Ethan extended one finger.
In Orario, he didn't know anyone else, and if he had to mention someone with a closer relationship, it would probably only be Freya, the goddess of his Familia.
Upon hearing his reply, Syr chuckled, then walked into the tavern.
"Mama Mia, we have a guest, he wants a set menu for big eaters, please!"
"Okay, I got it."
As the signboard girl of 'Hostess of Fertility,' Syr's talent in attracting customers was undoubtedly the best in the city.
And countless people came here because of Syr, spending all their money after being 'exploited' by her, yet still smiling and enjoying themselves, truly living up to the title of 'goddess.'
"Oh, dear guest, I'm really sorry for arbitrarily ordering the set meal for you. You won't be angry, right?"
With a pitiful appearance that melted people's hearts, Ethan couldn't help but blush and feel a bit flustered.
If Freya was a Mandrake flower full of charm, then Syr was a lotus in full bloom, irresistibly fascinating.
"It doesn't matter; I can handle it."
"Thank you so much, but the set meal costs 12,000 Valis per serving, which will cost you a lot of money."
"It doesn't matter; I have someone to support me financially, so I'm not short of money!"
With one sentence, Syr, with her mischievous personality, was almost choked to death.
She remembered that she gave him a guild card that could withdraw 1 million Valis per month.
If so, then it seemed like he really didn't care about the money.
Thinking about this, Syr felt a bit annoyed.
Did she set a trap for herself?
Faced with Syr's dissatisfied look, Ethan said, this is your choice and it has nothing to do with him. He will not take the blame.
'Boom—'
Soon, a cat-girl, dragging a large plate of a set meal, came over.
A large bowl of rice, with chunks of well-cooked grilled meat on top. Ethan tried a piece, and the meat juice poured on it, resembling 'teriyaki sauce.'
Combined, the taste was truly delicious.
Of course, it was also expensive, priced at 12,000 Valis per serving, definitely an 'expensive' combo. But it was undeniably worth eating.
The cat-girl waitress looked at Ethan, who was enjoying his meal heartily, inexplicably giving him a few more glances.
Unlike most women, she prefers cute young boys over adult men, especially their buttocks, which she finds irresistible.
And Ethan, although he is 26 years old, after crossing into this world, his body is no different from that of a 17 or 18-year-old boy.
Plus, his figure is concealed by his clothes, making him look like a delectable, oversized Shota.
"Chloe, what are you doing? Mama Mia is calling you."
"Eh?"
Syr's voice suddenly roused the cat girl who was immersed in her thoughts.
Looking back, she happened to meet Mama Mia's 'dangerous' gaze.
This moment made the cat lady break into a cold sweat.
In the Hostess of Fertility, Mama Mia is definitely the scariest person.
She regarded every staff member as her daughter, so she was merciless in beating and scolding as an act of discipline.
