"Welcome to Lavely Pizza." The waiter lady welcomed Elysia's group with a warm smile.
"We want a private banquet room." Elysia immediately stated her intention. She needed to check if the room in question was vacant or not.
"Ah, for a little party with your friends, Miss Elysia? Please wait a moment." The waitress excused herself to head to the counter. A moment later, she returned. "The private banquet room on the third floor is available. Let me guide you there."
"Mm." Elysia replied with an approving nod, then turned around. "All right, everyone, let's go to the third floor."
Of course, no one objected, and they went to follow the waitress.
Just as Elysia and her group were about to head for the elevator-like magic device, a girl suddenly approached with significant steps. The girl seemed in a hurry.
"Ely, Elysia... Thank Goddess, I can finally meet you." Rosa wanted to come closer again, but she discouraged her intention because Elysia was carrying a cat.
"Good afternoon, Senior Rosa. Did something happen?" Elysia responded with a compassionate expression, but she had mixed feelings in her heart.
She finally could remember what she forgot and ignored, namely Rosa. This girl naturally felt quite anxious because she was not around for a few days.
"Good afternoon to you too. Hm, I came to Medical Center to visit my lucky star three days ago, but you disappeared somewhere. I could not find you or your friends anywhere to find out the news of your good condition. Huff, when I heard the news that you were at Lavely Pizza, I came straight here." Rosa spoke politely, but her eyes glanced briefly at the people around Elysia.
She couldn't recognize everyone, but the four men behind Elysia possessed a royal prince vibe. No wonder Elysia added the honorific prefix again. Elysia was with several princes and experts.
"Oh my, thank you very much for your concern, Senior Rosa. With all gratitude, I am in good health. Uhm, have you been waiting long?" Elysia felt both relieved and guilty at the same time.
Relieved that Rosa didn't talk about fashion or business and guilty, Rosa's case was similar to Raylee's. Not to mention, Rosa seemed to have been waiting for quite a while.
"Phew, thank goodness then. No, I just came and waited about 15 minutes." Rosa breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why don't you join us, Senior Rosa? We can talk over hot tea." Elysia was invited after some consideration.
"Sounds great. Thanks for inviting me to your little party, Elysia." Rosa clasped her hands with a bright smile. Elysia was considerate enough to understand.
"Let's go, please." Elysia gave a subtle nod and beckoned the waitress.
Unfortunately, several other acquaintances also happened to be there for pizza after a tiring day.
"Huh? Well, it's quite a coincidence to meet here, Elysia and everyone. If I may know, what's with this rather large group?"
A man's greeting voice sounded from the side. Elysia and the others turned towards the source at once. Brian, David, Ashton, and some muscular seniors were there.
"Oh, what a coincidence. Are you going to have some pizza after practice?" Evelyn replied with an approving nod. Classmates who came with other friends to promote pizza were an excellent thing to do.
"That's for sure. Lavely Pizza's healthy, high-protein menus are popular among men like us. I was surprised when one of my seniors conducted a nutritional test on several pizzas, Evelyn. Right, my friends and seniors?" Brian answered with a big smile until he showed his white teeth. He asked for support from his group, and the response was positive.
"Oh my, then, how did it go? We also do nutritional testing for every menu at our Lavely Pizza. Anything labeled 'healthy diet' is the best choice for those who are on a diet program." Ella became curious about that.
The nutritional tests conducted by the Holy Church Research Center have guaranteed them to the menus at Lavely Pizza. So, she wanted to know the results of the nutritional test conducted by the other party.
"Haha, no one would have any doubts about pizza anymore. It's good for us. Our favorites are the high protein custom ones." One of the muscular seniors replied confidently.
"Thank goodness, it makes me happy if you like it. Well, we will have a little banquet. Would you like to come with us?" Elysia invited in a friendly manner.
However, she remembered one important thing. She immediately turned to her guests of honor. "How rude of me. Please forgive my disrespectful behavior. I-"
When Elysia delivered her apology with a guilty expression, Raylee gave a stop hand gesture with a warm smile. "No, you don't need to apologize, Miss Elysia. They are your acquaintances, and I happen to know them too. As the saying goes, the more, the merrier. Let's do that."
"I see... I'm relieved to hear that." Elysia let out a soft breath after the other princes gave a positive response to Raylee's words.
Brian and Ashton squinted at the sight of Raylee and the three other boys. The two of them thought the same silly thing. Four boys and four girls, was this a blind date? That could not be justified. They had to take part in the banquet in question to screw it up.
"Haha, thank you for inviting us. Then, we will gladly accept it." One of the seniors answered with a friendly laugh. He knew one thing at the moment. Lavely Pizza offered delicious dishes and hospitable service with three lovely young girls as the owners.
"Then, what are you waiting for? Let's go. Ms. Waitress, please guide us to our private banquet room." Ronan swung his hand inward to invite the others to go to the elevator-like device.
After that, they went inside and headed for the third floor. Though it had to be divided into two groups as their numbers exceeded the maximum limit.
As soon as they entered their private banquet room, the waitress asked politely. She also brought out a note. "What would you like to order?"
"Let's just do it like this. There are twenty of us, let's order all the dishes at Lavely Pizza. That way, we can taste them all. How? Sounds good?" Ronan suggested with enthusiasm. He became the most excited of everyone.
"Ah-uh, alright..." Elysia nodded slightly with an absentminded expression. It was pretty much an entree with lots of dishes, but that was not a problem, hopefully.
"All right, the dishes will arrive in a few minutes. I excuse myself." After saying that, the waitress gave a slight bow of respect and left.
Rosa started tweeting about some of the things that happened in the past few days with the girl group. She was wise enough not to talk about business. It could be done tomorrow morning.
While in the boy group, they started talking about several things even though the majority became muscles and so on.
Some of them wanted to exchange pleasantries with the girls, but the girls gossiped about girls' business. Thus they decided not to participate in such conversations out of consideration.
Elysia only listened and lightly responded when needed. Still, she also opened up a conversation with Nell through their spirit connection. 'Excuse me, Nell. Sorry if I bothered you. Are you going to interrogate the two bad guys earlier?'
'You don't need to apologize, Elysia. You never bother me no matter what you do. I just took my Firmament Realm's core, and I'm in the Ecclesiastical Prison to interrogate that elf and strange man.' Nell casually responded as if she was talking to a good friend.
'Eh? Can you take and carry your private realm anywhere? It's formidable.' Elysia was shocked, even though she didn't understand anything about it.
'Of course, but it depends on how the rules are applied to the realm's core. Well, your master is the formidable one, Elysia. Your master possesses an inexplicable pocket dimension. It is likely that she also has a private realm within her. Do you realize that?' Nell found it strange. She was a little suspicious of Elena, who hadn't taught Elysia much.
'Ah, haha... I know about that. Hum, what about the elf and the young master's confession? Do they have malicious intentions on me, Eve, or Ella? What kind of scheme is behind their action?' Elysia immediately changed the topic of conversation. She became reminded of her Space Storage and Soul Realm.
'Wait a few minutes, okay? I'll share it with you when I'm done.'
'Okay, thank you.' Elysia only complied after Nell asked her to wait.
A few moments later, several waiters and waitresses knocked on the entrance. One of the seniors opened the door, and they entered with several serving trolleys. All dishes were served at several round tables.
"Enjoy. Please let us know if you need anything else via the magic device provided there." A waitress pointed her palm towards a tool on the wall.
"Understood." Ronan gave a thumbs up. Then, the waiters and waitresses excused themselves.
The banquet became quite festive when the dishes arrived.
Everyone ate the pizzas and other dishes with gusto. However, Vanessa was the most excited among the others.
"Woah, no wonder pizza is high in demand for all circles. I can even say that some of the customers on the first floor earlier were from other regions. Lavely Pizza does need to open several branches in other cities." Ronan was awestruck by the pizza he had just eaten. He gave a request with a sparkling gaze at Elysia and the two girls next to her.
