"Ryu, look how mesmerized Mr. William is!"

The warm breath touched Liu's ear, and a blush immediately appeared on her delicate and elegant face.

"You've got it wrong, Hill!"

“I didn’t look at Mr. William.”

Liu tried her best to appear calm, but the way her small hands gripped her pants tightly at her waist did not escape Hill's notice.

Hill's big eyes darted around, as if he were planning something.

"Mr. William seems to have a very good relationship with Miss Alicia!"

"I've never seen Mr. William invite women to dinner before!"

"Why are you telling me all this! I have nothing to do with Mr. William."

Ryu's words and actions were completely inconsistent. Even now, she kept glancing out the window at William, who was chatting and laughing with Alicia.

Her lower lip was slightly bitten, as if she were about to bite it raw.

"Should we give the dishes on Mr. William's table to Ryu to deliver later?"

Hill's words were like a tickle, scratching at Ryu's heart little by little.

She wanted to agree immediately, but she was afraid that Hill would find out her feelings and then tease her with her friends.

"Looks like there's no other way! I'll just have to deliver it myself."

"I'm also very curious about what's going on between Mr. William and Miss Alicia!"

Seeing that Ryu was hesitant to make a decision, Hill decided to add fuel to the fire.

After saying that, she actually prepared to walk out of the kitchen to get William's meal.

"Ryu, what's wrong!"

Hill had just lifted her left foot when Ryu grabbed her sleeve from behind, the powerful force rendering the ordinary girl unable to move forward.

"I go!"

At this moment, Liu dared not look at Hill's amused gaze and could only look down at her toes, saying with a restless mind.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Ryu!"

"I can relax a little now."

Seeing that he had pushed her to the limit, Hill decided to stop while she was ahead and said in a relaxed tone.

"Ok!"

Liu, whose head was almost drooping to her chest, nodded gently, released her grip on Hill's hand, and walked lightly toward the kitchen.

"The Abundant Mistress" Outer Rooms

William was looking at Alicia with an understanding expression. As members of the Loki Familia who knew the terror of this tavern, they were naturally aware of the terrifying nature of the dwarf Mia.

Mia Brando, former leader of the Freya Familia.

Her race is dwarf, and her title is "Little Giant." Although it's unclear why she retired from adventurers to run a tavern, her level before retirement was lv6.

Ota, the current "fierce warrior" of the Freya Familia, can be said to have been trained by her.

Not only that, but the waiters at this tavern are all not exactly friendly either.

In any case, from William's observation, apart from the ordinary girl named Hill, almost all the waiters in this tavern were at level 4.

What does this mean? As long as Mia leads the tavern's waiters to join any of the familias, that familia can immediately become a major familia in Orario, possessing the strength to rival the top familias.

"Please take good care of me during the expedition, Alicia!"

As William spoke, he thoughtfully poured a glass of water for Alicia.

Alicia's position in the Loki Familia's Second Division is equivalent to Riveria's position in the First Division.

"Yes, I'll take good care of you then."

Alicia gently brushed back the gold hair that hung down her forehead and spoke softly.

"However, I think William won't be staying in the Second Regiment for very long!"

When she said this, although she still had a faint smile on her face, there was a hint of loneliness hidden in her eyes.

She came to Orario when her hometown was destroyed by war. At that time, the Loki Familia was recruiting. When she learned that the elven royal family of Rivilia was also in this family, she resolutely joined the Loki Familia.

At that time, her goal was to join the Deep Exploration Team so that she could help Riveria!

But so many years have passed, and she has been surpassed by newcomers one by one, while she has remained stuck at level 4 for many years without any progress.

"Perhaps!"

William shrugged noncommittally, after all, what Alicia said was true.

"Alysia, what's wrong?"

William asked with concern, noticing that Alicia seemed a little forlorn after saying those words.

"nothing!"

Alicia gently shook her head, banishing the worries from her mind, and looked at William with a smile on her face again.

"Mr. William, your meals have been served!"

The green-haired elf girl, Liu, held up a huge plate, each half a meter in diameter, in each hand. On each plate was a large piece of roasted beef, various snacks, and a large cup of mead.

Yet, despite holding all that stuff, Ryu carried it all with one hand without the slightest effort.

"Thank you so much, Ryu!"

William forced a smile and helped Ryu place the placemat he was holding on the table.

"But Ryu, can you tell me why we need to grill so much meat for two people?"

After the food was all laid out, William pointed to the grilled steak on the table, which weighed five or six pounds. The main point was that it wasn't just one piece for two people, but one piece for each person, totaling ten pounds of beef.

Even though adventurers do a lot of physical labor every day and have a large appetite, the amount of food served was clearly excessive.

"Because Mia's mother said that when young men and women are together, they must eat a lot so that they can have good physical strength."

"Therefore, the portion given to you, Mr. William, is for three people."

Although Ryu didn't understand what Mia meant when she said that, she still instinctively felt shy about it!

In contrast, unlike Ryu and Alicia who were clueless, William, who was deeply influenced by modern knowledge, immediately understood Mia's subtext.

"I'm really grateful to Aunt Mia for taking such good care of me!"

"But I think this is just an excuse she made up to trick me!"

William said with some helplessness, "Usually this dwarf auntie only rips me off with enough for two people, but today she's gone even further."

Ryu also agreed with William's words, because this was also a bad habit of Mia's mother.

"Ryu, is something the matter?"

William looked at Liu, who was still standing there like she was being punished after the food had been served, and asked her with some curiosity.

His words also directly awakened Ryu, who was struggling internally, trying to figure out the right thing to say.

"I just wanted to ask, why did Mr. William bring Miss Alicia to dinner today?"

When Liu said this, she gently turned her head away so that William wouldn't see the strangeness in her heart through her expression.

"I'm just treating Alicia to a meal to repay her for helping me out today, since she did me a lot of work."

Although Ryu's question was slightly inappropriate, William didn't mind and told Ryu the reason truthfully.

Ryu's eyes immediately brightened, and the knot of anger that had been pressing on her chest since earlier dissipated.

"I'm sorry! I was too talkative."

Once Ryu had returned to normal, she immediately bowed to William and Alicia to apologize before preparing to return to work.

"Don't rush off, Ryu!"

"Since there's so much food served, we can't possibly finish it all. Ryu, why don't you sit down with us?"

Alicia knew Ryu, and when she saw Ryu about to leave, she immediately tried to persuade her to stay.

"No, the tavern is still very busy!"

"Mr. William and Miss Alexandra, just call me if you need anything."

Although Ryu was somewhat tempted by Alicia's suggestion, she could only reluctantly refuse this irresistible suggestion when she saw the crowded tavern.

After Ryu returned to the tavern, Alicia immediately put down the mead in her hand, and looked at William with a crescent-shaped smile on her lips.

"William, you're really popular!"

Although Ryu thought she had hidden her emotions well, to Alicia, who was also a woman, Ryu's words sounded like a woman catching her cheating husband and coming to confront him!

"What does this mean?!"

William swallowed the beef he had just eaten, somewhat puzzled by Alicia's inexplicable words.

Although he knew how attractive his face was to many women, he remembered that no woman had rushed up to him to confess her feelings just now!

"That's not what I meant. I was referring to Miss Ryu!"

Alicia lightly tapped Ryu, who was busy inside the tavern, with her slender fingertips.

"Liu?"

"That's impossible!"

William looked slightly surprised. He didn't consider himself an emotionally oblivious person, otherwise he wouldn't have noticed so quickly that Mayumi and Ais had unusual feelings for him.

Although he noticed that Ryu had been acting a little awkward around him lately, he assumed it was because of what happened during their last bath.

After all, it's normal for an elf to feel uncomfortable having their most precious body seen by a strange man, which is why William didn't think much of it.

"Why not? It seems William still doesn't quite understand girls' feelings!"

Alicia chuckled softly, then said nothing more, simply raising the mead on the table.

After all, she now harbors a slight fondness for William, so she naturally wouldn't do something foolish like creating enemies for herself.

William also raised his glass and clinked it against Alicia's.
