Elf-like Life

Chapter 26, The Cafeteria and Alcremie

Thank you Qiu Ran for the generous donation of 10000 coins! Also, thank you Lao Lao Charizard for the 100-coin donation.

So we decided to eat at the cafeteria on the fifth basement level.

[Soon - Fat Koding Guild - Underground Canteen]

The two little ones followed the buck-toothed raccoon to the bottom floor of the Jigglypuff Guild, which was the dining area.

First, there's a giant square table, big enough to hold about 50 little elves.

Secondly, the dining hall was similar in scale to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, with two rows of small round stools. The elves would then sit down and eat at large square tables, making the entire dining hall very spacious.

The buck-toothed raccoon explained, "This is the cafeteria. My goodness, thank goodness it's still open. You two are lucky to have caught the last wave."

It turns out that mealtime is almost over.

Usually, by this time, all the little sprites in the guild have finished eating, so when the two little ones came down, there was no other pets around.

The buck-toothed raccoon said憨憨地, "Then you two hurry up and eat here. I'll go tidy up my bedding first."

Seeing the buck-toothed raccoon turn to leave, the two little ones simultaneously expressed their gratitude with utmost respect:

"Thank you for bringing us to eat, Bucktooth Tanuki-senpai."

Bucktoothed Raccoon: "Oh dear, I'm so embarrassed, calling me 'senior' and all that."

Enjoy your meal!

The buck-toothed raccoon turned and left in a flustered and excited manner; it was time for dinner.

Even though there are no elves in the cafeteria right now, it doesn't mean there's no food on the big tables.

The two little ones had actually smelled the aroma of the food long ago:

Three large plates were placed at one corner of the large square table, and the food on the plates could definitely be described as Michelin-starred.

Even Pikachu was stunned. Those were three high-class dishes that he had never made in his entire life, nor dared to try.

1. First dish: Mixed fresh milk salad.

2. Selected apple toast with ham.

3. Strawberry Cream Ice Cream Cake.

Wow, these look so delicious!

【!】The two little ones' eyes lit up instantly:

To be honest, the food in the Fat Koopa Guild canteen is absolutely top-notch! What are you waiting for? Let's dig in!

"Crunch crunch crunch crunch, Emmmmmmmmm!"

The two little ones began to wolf down their food. The knife and fork were on a corner of the large table. Charmander grabbed the knife and fork and stuffed salad cake into his mouth, while Pikachu was also captivated by the toast.

The excitement of chewing delicious food can instantly dispel any unpleasant feelings.

Charmander was just angry about the reward, but in front of delicious noodles, everyone is the same.

Especially for foodies, nothing is more enjoyable than enjoying a delicious meal!

The two little ones ate and drank without restraint, and their gradually protruding bellies meant that the three plates were quickly emptied.

You might not believe it, but in no time at all, the two little ones devoured all three large plates:

"It's so delicious, I'm so happy~" (Little Dragon)

"This is so delicious! Is the food in this guild always this good?" (Pikachu)

The two little ones were so engrossed in their meal that they almost lay down on the round chairs, their bellies swollen from being so full.

"Cough, you guys!!!"

The next instant, who knew the cook would arrive!

The chef appeared in front of the two little ones in a rage!

This completely startled the two little ones, especially the cleaver the chef was holding. Coupled with the blackening effect, she looked like she had activated a sinister mode!

[Chef Girl] → Somolelier

"Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey!"

The Frost Fairy instantly turned completely evil, adopting a slightly aloof stance. If one were to describe her, a human would be the perfect match: Aya from Once Upon a Time in Spirit Sword Mountain.

However, please note that this female chef is not Aya from the human world.

She is Aya from the fairy world, the true Aya Alcremie!

"You...you actually ate my dinner!"

Charmander + Pikachu: 【!!!!!】

The two little ones were definitely blushing at that moment, but it was mostly out of shame.

The chef prepared the food for himself, and then these two little kids ate it all. How can a top-notch chef save face?

"Sorry, we thought it was the guild's dinner..."

The Cream Fairy's mood can be seen in the area around the two strawberries on her head. When she is extremely angry, the cream around her turns black; when she is slightly angry, it turns grayish-pink; and then it turns dark pink.

"Are you new apprentices?"

The two little ones immediately took the initiative to stand in the corner as punishment, obediently standing in a row and begging for Alcremie's forgiveness.

Anger

Alcremie's pink-on-black-on-white mode has started again, but this time she's secretly laughing to herself:

Pfft, these two new apprentices are quite well-behaved. I'll use them for cooking experiments from now on—one Charmander and one Pikachu.

Oh ho ho ho, what a great diner.

"Little Fire Dragon, has she calmed down?"

"I don't know, maybe they're even cursing us in their hearts."

Alcremie immediately became serious:

"Ugh, you guys have no manners at all!"

The cafeteria is open at 11:00 am and 6:00 pm. Although breakfast is a buffet, you need to go to the wind chimes to get a bell first.

As newcomers, you know absolutely nothing!

The following is the dining procedure:

You must first go to the front desk in the southeast corner and ring the bell.

Only after hearing the bell signaling permission to dine will Soap Milk Fairy allow diners to enter, and they must line up one by one before they can get their food.

In short, the requirements are somewhat similar to those of a typical company cafeteria. Cafeterias also have their own rules, and if you break the rules, you will be penalized with points deducted, and in serious cases, you will be punished with being suspended from meals.

The two little ones now understood the dining rules, but Pikachu and Charmander still couldn't find the wind chime that was responsible for ringing the bell.

Maybe it was because I arrived too late today, and the cafeteria staff had already gone home.

The fairy's anger has subsided:

"Fine, I'll let you off this time since you just arrived!"

"But if you make the same mistake again, I won't hold back and will punish you severely. Don't try to run away then!"

Meanwhile, secretly harboring dark thoughts:

That's great! Next time, we'll have new test subjects for our culinary disasters. Those two bellies are so big, they're definitely foodies!

There are so many dishes to punish them, I can't even count them all. Let me go back and choose carefully!

"Hey, hurry back after you've eaten!"

"I'm busy making dinner again, what are you standing here for?"

"Yes!" (X2)

———Guild Divider———

The first busy day was also the first night after a fierce battle in the Mushroom Forest.

The two little ones were punished by the note parrot and had to sleep in the haystack room.

There are quite a few shared dormitories in the Wigglypuff Guild. They are neat, haystack-shaped rooms, which are better than Pikachu's house. At least they are not drafty at night. Otherwise, there is not much difference.

Charmander and Pikachu both lay down.

Although he was still a little unhappy, especially about the reward, Little Fire Dragon felt a bit tired after a long day.

Pikachu, however, seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself, completely unconcerned about the unfair contract or the compensation.

"Um, Pikachu, don't you think that musical note parrot is basically a capitalist?"

"I'm so angry! And what about our payment?!"

Pikachu: "Um, that...?"

"But what we never thought about is that Charmander really is human; what exactly is a capitalist?"

"We think a reward of 60 gold coins is pretty good, but it would be even better if it were 600 gold coins."

Pikachu is a little sleepy:

"Sleepy, time to sleep, little dragon."

Charmander was puzzled. Were all the Pokémon in this world so naive, just like Pikachu?

They don't care at all about being exploited by the capitalist parrot, and the prestige of the Fat Cat Guild remains very high, making it the most popular platform.

Doesn't any Pokémon question his tyrannical behavior?

With these questions in mind, the little dragon prepared to drift off to sleep.

I, a beast in my second year, am praying for a recommendation the day after tomorrow!
