The carriage came to a stop in front of Macia Town's most popular buffet restaurant.
Hazuki climbed down first, stretching with a lazy groan.
"Alright, kids. Out. Follow me."
The children excitedly filed out of the carriage behind Miss Kisha, eyes sparkling again as the smell of grilled meat and fresh bread reached their noses.
Hazuki stepped through the entrance.
A neatly dressed beastkin receptionist, ears perked, immediately stepped forward with a professional smile.
"Welcome to Hearth & Plate Buffet! Do you have a reservation, sir?"
Hazuki gave a soft smile and reached into his pocket.
With a small clink, he placed his silver adventurer card on the counter.
"Can I get a reservation now?"
He added with a calm tone, "Please? Sorry to bother."
The receptionist blinked.
Then her eyes widened as she registered the B+ rank on the plate.
"A-Ah! Wait right here, sir! I'll get the owner immediately!"
She vanished into the back in a blur of quick footsteps.
