Elf: Seriously? You only get a cheat code when you're about to die?

Chapter 247 Angel's Gift

Sure enough, the dogs placed all the desserts they brought into the shop window, and soon the window was full of them.

The beautifully presented desserts, arranged in their respective categories, are a feast for the eyes.

The two clay figurines then placed the wines they brought into the wine cabinet one by one.

These wines include white wine, red wine, and beer, each with its own dedicated wine cabinet, all equally pleasing to the eye.

There were also fruit juices and fruit wines, all of which were kept in the refrigerator.

Once the preparations were complete, the dessert shop officially opened for business.

Downstairs, during a break, Anjie went to the lobby and addressed the guests:

"Everyone, the second floor of our Munchlax House is open for business starting today! If you'd like to buy desserts or drinks, feel free to go up and take a look—you won't be disappointed!"

Anjie had already informed the customers about the dessert shop on the second floor, so everyone was prepared.

As soon as An Jie finished speaking, someone immediately said, "I have complete confidence in the young boss's products. I'll go check them out later!"

"Me too! Me too! I feel like I'll miss something really important if I don't go!"

"Now that you mention it, I feel the same way!"

"Looks like I have no choice but to go!"

……

The guests started discussing the dessert shop, and Anjie, looking displeased, returned to the kitchen.

The reputation of Munchlax's Home has long been established, with a good customer base, and now it can barely manage to get a large following.

Mephistopheles and Angel are here today too.

Angel asked Mephisto somewhat hesitantly, "Mephisto, would you like to come with me to browse His Highness's dessert shop later?"

Mephisto is a nickname for Mephisto, and only close friends and family members can call her that.

Angel had liked Mephisto for so long, and their relationship finally made some substantial progress.

"That's exactly what I was thinking. Let's go for a walk after we finish eating," Mephistopheles replied.

"Really? That's great!" Angel's ears turned red with excitement, and he ate his breakfast faster.

Mephistopheles glanced at him and said, "Be careful you don't choke!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Angel coughed violently. He stuffed a whole milk-flavored steamed bun into his mouth and choked on it.

"See, I told you so!" Mephisto quickly handed the water glass to Angel.

"Cough cough cough~~" Angel's face flushed red. He gulped down a mouthful of water, then pounded his chest. After swallowing the steamed bun, he grinned sheepishly and said to Mephisto, "It...it was all an accident!"

Mephistopheles shook his head helplessly upon hearing this.

After lunch, the two young men arrived at the second floor of Munchlax's house as agreed.

When they arrived, there were already quite a few people on the second floor, mostly couples.

The desserts here can be taken away or eaten in the store.

Angel looked around the store, and when he saw a boy feeding his girlfriend a piece of dessert, his face flushed red.

How could... how could someone do something so shameful!

However, he couldn't help but take another look, and when he saw the girl gazing at her boyfriend with affection, Angel couldn't help but feel a pang of envy.

He couldn't help but start imagining himself feeding Mephistopheles desserts.

If Mephistopheles were looking at him like that...

Angel caused a huge scene with Overload, and his skin turned as red as an octopus bucket!

Mephistopheles' call pulled Angel back to reality from his reverie.

"Angel, which one would you like to eat?"

Angel walked up to Mephisto and whispered, "You can choose. I'll like whatever you choose..."

Mephistopheles blushed slightly upon hearing this. "I chose you, so don't say you don't like it later!"

"Hmm~~" Angel said awkwardly.

If Angel's classmates knew what he looked like now, they would probably be shocked.

Angel usually acts arrogantly, looking down on everyone with his chin. Who would have thought he would be like this when he's with his sweetheart?

While Mephistopheles was choosing desserts, Angel suddenly noticed the wine cabinet not far away, which contained bottles of wine of various colors.

He suddenly remembered something: Mephistopheles' father, the Minister of Agriculture of the Kingdom of Azot, seemed to like wine and had a hobby of collecting it.

How about... we buy a bottle?

With that in mind, Angel walked up to the wine cabinet and began to examine it carefully.

In reality, he didn't know anything about wine. After looking at it for a long time, he felt dizzy and confused because the types of wine brewed by the throwing monkeys were very diverse.

Just as he was having a headache, Weng walked up to him.

"Ssss~~"

Then, Weng handed Angel a beautifully bound book that looked high-end and classy.

Angel took the booklet with a puzzled look, and immediately looked delighted after flipping through it, because the booklet contained descriptions of all the wines in the wine cabinet.

"Thank you, Wobbuffet!" Angel sincerely thanked Wobbuffet.

"Sss~" As expected, Weng waved his hand to indicate that he was not being polite.

Angel then began selecting items from the booklet.

He quickly set his sights on a red wine and a white wine.

According to the brochure, this red wine can relieve fatigue, while the white wine can improve blood circulation.

After thinking for a long time, he chose another fruit wine.

He planned to give the fruit wine to Mephistopheles' mother. According to the brochure, this fruit wine would have beauty and skin-nourishing effects if consumed regularly.

Angel trusted Anjie's products and had no doubt about the effects described in the brochure.

In his opinion, there was really no need for His Highness, who was so capable, to expose his fake GG.

Angel's father was Azot's finance minister. Because Angel helped Azot solve its energy crisis and saved the country a lot of money, Angel's father praised Angel to the skies.

It was from his father that Angel learned that His Highness had quietly solved such a huge problem for the country.

On the contrary, he actually went to cause trouble for His Highness because of some trivial love affair, which is simply shameful!

Now Angel has become Angel's role model, and Angel is determined to become a useful person to the country like His Highness!

After Guo Guoweng took out the three bottles of wine that Angel wanted from the wine cabinet, Angel thought for a moment and then said, "Could you please give me one of each as well?"

You need to please your future father-in-law and mother-in-law, but you can't forget your own parents either.

Angel's family sells wine at a pretty high price, so even though Angel has a lot of pocket money, he still can't afford to buy much.

"Sss~~" Sure enough, Weng responded and brought out three more bottles of wine for Angel.

Soon after, Weng brought six bottles of wine to Gothic Baby, who then packed the wine into an exquisite box.

The Gothic baby is very skillful and even wove beautiful decorations for the packaging box.

Just as Gothic Baby handed the packaged wine to Angel, Mephistopheles walked over with a similarly packaged dessert and stuffed one of them into Angel's hand.

"We'll save the dessert for lunch!" Mephistopheles said.

Angel's eyes lit up. "Mavis, you mean...we'll have lunch together too?"

Mephistopheles raised an eyebrow and said, "What? You don't want to?"

Angel quickly replied, "Yes! Yes!"

Mephistopheles turned and walked away. "Hurry up and get to school, or you'll be late!"

"Alright!" Angel caught up with Mephisto with light steps, a silly grin on his face that he himself didn't realize.

Angel and Mephistopheles were not in the same class, so they went their separate ways after arriving at school.

Mephisto's best friend witnessed them parting ways. As Mephisto entered the classroom, she grabbed her neck and asked with a smile:

"You two came to school together again. Tell me the truth, were you secretly dating?"

Mephisto shoved her best friend away, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Mephisto's best friend then took Mephisto's arm and asked in a low voice, "So tell me, do you like him?"

Mephistopheles didn't say anything, but the tips of his ears slowly turned red!

My best friend looked surprised and said, "Not saying anything means you like me?"

Mephistopheles remained silent.

Her best friend shook her head repeatedly, a look of disappointment on her face, and said, "I can't believe you actually like that Angel guy! What's so great about that arrogant person?"

Angel is handsome, comes from a good family, and is very capable, making him a popular figure at school.

But don't assume that this will make him a favorite among many girls; the opposite is true.

Because of his arrogant personality, most girls keep their distance from him, unless they are the vain type.

Mephistopheles, on the other hand, was kind, gentle, and polite, and was also beautiful, making her the dream girl of many boys in the school.

Mephistopheles quietly replied, "Actually, he's a pretty good guy..."

Her best friend was speechless: "You call someone with his personality good? My darling, have you been drugged by him?"

Mephisto didn't say anything more. She just glared at her best friend.

The morning passed quickly, and during lunch break, Mephistopheles and Angel had lunch together as agreed.

After finishing their main meal, the two took out the desserts they had bought that morning.

Mephistopheles cut a small piece of cake with her fork and put it in her mouth, then her eyes lit up.

"As expected, the things in His Highness's house never disappoint!"

The moment the cake touches your mouth, the soft cake base and sweet cream blend together, just like clouds in the sky.

The cream used to make the cakes comes from Alcremie, and Alcremie's cream will make the eater feel happy.

This feeling was indescribable, yet it deeply fascinated Mephistopheles.

Upon hearing this, Angel also began to savor the dessert in his hand.

He doesn't usually eat desserts, but after tasting the cake in his hand, he immediately changed his previous impression of desserts.

too delicious!

Just as the two were enjoying their meal, Mephisto's best friend suddenly arrived.

"Oh, so you guys were hiding here sneaking a bite to eat!"

My best friend sniffed the sweet scent in the air and couldn't help but exclaim, "It smells so good!"

Mephisto had quite a bit of cake left, so she gave it all to her best friend.

"Take these and share them with your classmates. These are desserts I bought from His Highness Anjie's shop."

Mephistopheles felt that it would be a waste for Princess Ange's desserts to be enjoyed by herself alone, so she might as well help the princess promote them at school.

After receiving the dessert, her best friend gave Mephisto a big hug, exclaiming, "Mephisto, I love you to death!"

At this point, Angel handed the remaining desserts to her best friend, saying, "You can have mine too!"

Angel's best friend stared at her for a long time, making Angel feel uneasy.

Angel said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

My best friend shook her head: "It's nothing, I just suddenly realized you're actually a pretty nice person!"

After saying that, she took the dessert from Angel and ran away, leaving Angel completely confused.

Of course I'm fine, do you need to tell me?

After Mephisto's best friend shared the dessert with her classmates, it received unanimous praise, and everyone asked where she bought it.

So her best friend relayed Mephistopheles' words.

Because of this incident, Angie's desserts became quite popular at Mephistopheles' school, and students started visiting the shop every day afterward.

Couples especially love to sit there after school, enjoying delicious desserts while watching the sunset, whispering sweet nothings to each other – it's incredibly romantic.

After lunch, Angel saw that he still had time, so he took the wine he had bought that morning to his father's workplace.

Their school was not far from where the ministers worked.

Moreover, the guard recognized Angel, so he readily let Angel pass.

At that moment, the ministers were having lunch. When they saw their son arrive, the finance minister pulled his son aside and asked him in a puzzled tone:

"Why are you here?"

After whispering a few words to his father, Angel handed him the wine.

After hearing his son's words, the finance minister smiled and patted Angel on the shoulder, saying:

"Don't worry, Dad will make sure it's taken care of for you!"

The finance minister was well aware that his son liked the daughter of the agriculture minister, and he was happy that the young couple could get together.

The finance minister weighed the glass of wine in his hand and said with satisfaction, "You've got a conscience, buddy, you haven't forgotten about me and your mother!"

Although he doesn't drink much, he occasionally has a couple of drinks.

"Dad, I'm leaving this to you. I have class, so I'll be going now!" Angel said and ran off.

"That kid..." Watching his son's departing figure, the finance minister shook his head with a smile, "He's grown up so fast!"

He then hummed a little tune as he returned to the cafeteria.

The ministers had a special dining hall where they usually ate lunch.

When the Finance Minister returned to the dining hall, he immediately saw the Agriculture Minister still eating, so he quickly walked over and said:

"Would you like a drink?"

Seeing the wine in the Finance Minister's hand, the Agriculture Minister's craving for alcohol was immediately triggered.

They've been colleagues for a while, so the Agriculture Minister didn't stand on ceremony with the Finance Minister.

"Then let's have a couple of drinks, but not too many, we still have to work this afternoon!"

"Of course!" the finance minister said. "I know what I'm doing!"

As he spoke, he asked the cafeteria staff for two wine glasses and ordered two snacks to go with the drinks.

The moment the bottle was opened, the aroma of the thick fog began to fill the cafeteria.

"Where's the aroma of wine coming from?" someone asked.

One connoisseur immediately exclaimed, "Excellent wine! This is excellent wine!"
