Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 145 Wendy
There is a greater meaning...

Adele's eyes gradually drooped, as if she remembered something, but she quickly controlled her emotions with her witch ability.

"Ma'am, we should go to dinner. Your daughter seems anxious."

Venata stepped forward and touched Adele's arm imperceptibly.

"Okay, thanks for the reminder, Sevens."

Adele came back to her senses and nodded to the waiter. "Has anyone reserved the private room inside Leviathan? My daughter seems very interested in it."

"No one has made a reservation recently. However, I must remind you that the price of that box is ten soli per hour."

The waiter explained, "There are still quite a few empty seats here, and the views are great in other places as well."

"It doesn't matter... After all, there aren't many opportunities to come here."

Adele waved her hand nonchalantly.

"Well, this way please."

The waiter took Adele's and her two companions' luggage and walked quickly upstairs, followed closely by Adele and her companions. Adele's boots made a dull sound as they stepped on the steps made of whale bones.

"Although it looks like whale bone, it is reinforced with cement, so there will be no quality problems, so please feel free to use it."

The waiter opened the door of the box and explained politely to the two of them.

"The service here is much more considerate than I thought. The waiters are also very polite. It's not at all like the place where sailors gather, which is full of drunkards as rumored. Do you know why?"

After Adele finished her order and the waiter left, she asked Vinata beside her with some surprise.

"The situation in the Rossde Islands is different from the sea here," Vinata explained. "The sea here is shared by Feysac and Loen. Even on the high seas, there are often warships from both sides patrolling the main channel. Moreover, the relationship between Feysac and Loen has been tense in recent years, and most flights have been cancelled. The pirates have no money to make, so they generally don't come to this cold and dangerous sea."

"Really? This is a good thing for us too."

Adele nodded and began to wait quietly for the food to be served.

However, the first person to arrive here was not the waiter, but an uninvited guest.

The door of the box was suddenly pushed open, and a lady with reddish-brown curly hair and green eyes pushed open the door carrying a suitcase. She was a little surprised to see that there was already someone in the box.

Vinata straightened her body slightly, facing the newcomer, silently shielding Sophie's body behind her. At the same time, she put her arms on the chair, revealing the holster under her armpit inside her open leather jacket as a warning.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

Adele politely stood up and asked, but her hand had already reached out to the blood-sucking person under the table, ready to attack at any time.

"Uh, I remember I originally booked a private room here. Didn't the waiter tell you?"

Noticing Vinata's protest, and seemingly not wanting to make a big deal out of it, and also seemingly because the intruder was naturally kind, the intruder began to explain.

Soon, the waiter came after hearing the news.

"I remember that I had booked this box for lunch on the 29th of every month for six months. My memory is absolutely correct. I made the reservation with Jenny, the head waitress here, and paid a deposit of three pounds in advance."

The red-haired woman confirmed with the waiter holding the account book. Although her words were firm, her tone was calm and not annoying.

"Your memory is still as good as ever, Miss Peromoncia." The waiter flipped through the account book and praised sincerely, "This happened half a year ago, and you still remember it so clearly."

"Although I went to Trier to report on my work shortly afterwards, it should have been within the deadline set by your restaurant."

The red-haired woman had a matter-of-fact look on her face, as if she had just won a debate.

“However, if you read our store’s rules carefully, you’ll see that’s our order retention period during the summer slow season.”

The waiter replied calmly, "After all, in Constance, which is mainly populated by fishermen, the impact of seasons on customer flow is also a factor that must be considered. We do not accept reservations for more than one month in winter."

"But when I made the reservation, it was still in the summer..." When the woman said this, she slapped her head.

"Oops, I forgot again, this is Loen..."

In Loen's shops, regarding reservations and other time-related issues, the convention is to start calculating from the effective date. In countries such as Intis and Feysac, the calculation starts from the signing of the contract.

Come to think of it, she just mentioned going back to Trier to report... Is she from Intis?
Adele hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand to the embarrassed red-haired woman.

"Miss, do you want to share the table with us?"

"Is it okay?" The red-haired woman's eyes lit up.

"That's fine with me...and besides, Sophie seems to like you a lot, too."

Adele nodded, indicating that it was no big deal. Seeing Adele's response, Vinata sat back down, withdrew her arm from the empty chair beside her, and signaled the other party to go ahead.

"Thank you for your generosity... Let me introduce myself. My name is Wendy, Wendy Pelomoncia, a marine biologist and watchmaker, and a believer in the god of steam and machinery."

"These two are Mrs. Brewster and her daughter, Miss Sophie," Vinata introduced.

When introducing married women, they usually only introduce their surnames, which is also a kind of implicitness in Loen. Although this practice is criticized by the egalitarians of the Goddess Sect, it is quite common in coastal areas.

"This is Ms. Severns, my bodyguard."

Adele introduced it briefly. In situations where there is a difference in status, when self-introduction is required, the master's identity is usually introduced by the bodyguard or servant. As for whether to introduce the bodyguard or servant, it is up to the master himself. This practice, which is popular among ladies, is said to reflect the ladies' modesty and has a strong regional flavor.

"Ma'am, are you traveling with your daughter? It's rare to come to Constance for vacation in this season."

However, Miss Wendy, who was born in Intis, obviously did not care about Loen's rules and regulations, and asked directly.

Adele paused for a moment, then began to adjust her mood and calm herself down.

"In fact, we experienced a terrible accident in Backlund..."

She briefly explained the Backlund incident, but omitted the extraordinary events, and described herself as a young widow who had lost her husband in the Backlund disaster and was currently preparing to return to her parents' home in Feysac with her daughter.

(Note 1: In order to make the world view more complete, when I talk about Feysac in the second volume, I will design a lot of small folk details such as the etiquette introduced. However, in order to prevent arguments, most of the subsequent chapters will have similar annotations. Readers who don’t like it can just skip it.)

(Note 2: Both of these etiquettes have their own unique corresponding occasions. The etiquette shown here is for married women, so don’t use the plot of Klein and Donna to argue with me. If you want to argue, just obey.)
