The Neighborhood High School Girl, Miss Isezaki, Is the Great Saintess Returned from Another World~ And I, Suddenly Awakened as Her Exclusive Mana Supply Uncle, Travel Between Earth and Another World with Time-Space Magic~ - 78. High-end Restaurant

78. High-end Restaurant

I heard a soldier shouting loudly, mentioning “Lady Delixir of the Count Carius family.”

If my memory serves me right, she should be Lady Levia’s sister. I glanced at Isezaki-san across the table, and she nodded in confirmation. It seemed there was no mistake.

Voices murmured among the customers in the restaurant.
“Isn’t that Lady Delixir?!””My acquaintance’s shop also faced unreasonable demands.””I wonder what will happen if her mood sours.””We should leave quickly.””Indeed.”

Even though I had a vague sense from Lady Levia’s attitude, Lady Delixir seemed to have a bad reputation.

In retrospect, the panic among the employees at the Dornesia Company when I showed the seal of the Count Carius family, as well as Mr. Carant’s fluster, might have been due to a misunderstanding with Lady Delixir’s people.

It’s truly remarkable how such behavior, based on status, is casually carried out here. On Earth, it could easily be considered harassment.

“Hurry up! Get them out!”

“Yes, sir!”

In response to the soldier’s command, an employee stood rigidly and pale-faced, then rushed over to us and bowed in the middle of the floor.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I deeply apologize, but Lady Delixir will be arriving shortly. You’re excused from paying for your meal, please leave the premises immediately!”

Although it was quite a statement to ask customers to leave immediately, not a single one complained to the employee. Instead, they quickly rose from their seats and hurried out of the restaurant.

Watching this scene in amazement, I realized we were lagging behind.

“Oops, let’s go, too.”

“Yes, sir.”

We were the last ones to leave our seats.

It seemed true that the clientele was mostly affluent, as some people, on their way out, handed over coins to the employees. Following suit, I quickly handed a few gold coins to the employee.

“Thank you for the meal, we’ll come again.”

We were silently bid farewell by the bowing employee as we left the restaurant.

As we stepped outside, we saw a small garden spread out. Normally, we would have leisurely strolled through the garden after our meal, but this time, it couldn’t be helped.

As we hurried along the garden path, we saw a woman walking towards us from the other end.

She appeared to be in her mid-twenties. Although she was a beautiful woman with long, golden hair and a well-defined face, her sharp gaze and somewhat heavy makeup gave off an intimidating aura.

Most of all, she seemed to be currently irritated, muttering something with furrowed brows.

This woman must be Lady Delixir. As I observed her, I felt Isezaki-san tug at my sleeve.

I suddenly realized that Isezaki-san had moved to the edge of the path and was bowing her head. I quickly joined her and continued to bow.

Soon, Lady Delixir approached us.

The scent of strong perfume wafted over, making me want to cough. However, I endured it and didn’t cough.

Lady Delixir, as if indifferent to our presence like roadside stones, passed by with the clack-clack of her high heels, accompanied by a handsome man who seemed to be a servant, who had been standing behind her.

Among the sound of her high heels, I could hear her muttering.

“I wonder how they manage to live, despicable…! That low-born wretch…”

It seemed she had just finished meeting with Lady Levia. I instantly understood why Lady Delixir was so irritated.

Then, Lady Delixir, accompanied by the handsome man who had been following her, entered the restaurant.

“Phew…”

I let out a deep sigh and raised my head. I noticed sweat on my forehead. This noble harassment thing was quite stressful.

“That’s Lady Levia’s sister, right?”

I whispered to Isezaki-san, who nodded.

“Yes. She’s a foolish person who thinks the world revolves around her.”

Isezaki-san answered with an unusually cold expression. While it might have been the first time I heard her evaluation of Lady Delixir, it seemed she, like Lady Levia, didn’t think highly of her.

Well, even if Lady Levia is an exception, I don’t really want to get along with Lady Delixir.

Anyway, let’s leave this place quickly. We passed through the small garden and exited the premises of the restaurant.

As we stepped outside, we noticed a carriage parked nearby, presumably the one Lady Delixir had arrived in. Two soldiers stood in front of it.

One of them was the soldier who had harassed the restaurant staff just a while ago. Although it was me who answered, the soldier’s gaze was fixed on Isezaki-san behind me.

“After this, Lady Delixir will be dining for a while.”

“Yes, that’s right. This restaurant was delicious, so she’ll surely enjoy it.”

“But what do you think about me, who has been honored with the task of escorting Lady Delixir, just standing here waiting?”

“Well, I can only say good luck with your work…”

However, it seemed that wasn’t the response the soldier wanted. He clicked his tongue and glared at me.

“Tch, don’t you understand anything…? It means that as someone entrusted with the great responsibility of protecting Lady Delixir, I have a duty to fulfill. And that is the proof of respect for Lady Delixir. …Hey, you there, girl. If you understand, then accompany me immediately.”

Saying so, the soldier, with a lecherous smile, facing Isezaki-san who is standing behind me.
