Chapter 58: Blanco Restaurant
Chapter 58: Blanco Restaurant
"There is someone looking for you here at the gate. She says it's urgent." The guard said.
Emily found it weird, but nonetheless she answered. "Tell them I'll be right there."
Emily was curious as to who her visitor was since she had no family here in Estra.
She went straight to her closet and changed into a more appropriate outfit. All her clothes were old and they were all the ones she used in Kellar.
She had used most of her money on medicines that could help her cultivate faster. Of course, those were medicines that were safe to use and not detrimental to her in the long run.
Emily looked in the mirror and checked her appearance. She was around 5'7 feet tall. Her short black hair touched her shoulders. Although she just woke up, her black round eye looked tired. She has flat exotic thin brows, cupid lips, and white skin.
'Who could it be?' She wondered as she walked out of her bedroom and out of the apartment.
The hallway had a long maroon carpet laid in the middle. Lamp-like objects were hung on the sides, powered by magic. Her steps were neither slow nor hurried, but her white sundress still swayed with each step.
Emily walked towards the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor. She's currently living in the university where rent was free for the teachers. The building where she stays is similar to a hotel, other teachers live there too, just in different rooms.
The silent campus accompanied her as she walked towards the main gate. She never stopped wondering who the person was. Feeling anxious, she hurried her steps a bit.
A minute or so later, she was now a few meters from the main gate. She slowed down and walked at a normal pace.
Emily walked towards the guards and asked, "Where's the person looking for me? Oh, I'm Emily Lux."
"They're just outside to the right." The guard faced the gate and pointed to the right side.
Emily thanked them and kept walking.
"Her sister probably." A guard whispered to the one beside him.
The other guard nodded.
They were stunned by the beauty of Eva and when they saw Emily, they thought the two didn't look similar, or maybe just a little bit which was quite unnoticeable.
Emily walked out of the main gate. She looked to her right and there stood a man and woman.
She had never seen the man in her life.
It was different when she looked at the woman though. She blinked a couple of times, rubbed her eyes, and shook her head. Emily stared at the woman for a while before her eyes started to moisten.
Emily ran towards her, crying. This was the woman who took care of her since she was young. The woman who stopped cultivating just so she could work and feed them both. Her sister Eva.
Eva hugged her back. Tears also flowed down her cheeks as she began crying. They both missed each other even if their separation only lasted for a couple of weeks.
Nexus who was sitting on the hood of the car, stayed silent as he watched the two of them talk incoherently.
Eva wiped away her sister's tears and then her own.
"Big Sis, how did you get here? Why are you here?" Emily asked.
Eva smiled. "It's a long story. Come let's go and grab a bite to eat."
Emily nodded but is still in a daze. She couldn't believe her sister was here in Estra.
Eva slowly walked towards the car "Emily, Do you know a good place to eat near here?"
Emily shook her head and followed Eva. "I don't. I never eat outside since they serve free food in school."
'You won't need to eat those kinds of food anymore.' Eva inwardly smiled.
Eva opened the door, got in, and told Emily to do the same.
"We'll just go and find one," Eva said.
The bewildered Emily didn't know what was going on anymore. She didn't expect her sister to go in the classy white car where a guy who wore black polo sat on the hood.
'Is that guy, sister's boyfriend?' She started trying to solve her puzzled mind.
This only happened for a short while before Emily followed her sister in.
Nexus who hadn't said a word, sat in front and said, "I'll look for a good place nearby, Or just anywhere around the city."
Eva thanked Nexus and introduced Emily to him. "Emily, that's Nexus. He's a good friend of mine."
'Good friend?' Nexus coughed.
Emily's eyes widened a bit. "Big Sis, he's not your boyfriend?"
Eva lightly nudged Emily with her elbow and said in a low voice. "Silly girl, what have you been thinking in that head of yours."
Emily chuckled. "Can you at least tell me what is going here so that I won't make stuff up in my head?"
Eva sighed. "This is going to be pretty long so bare with it."
Emily nodded. "No problem, I love a good story."
Before Eva could start speaking, Nexus's voice sounded. "I think you girls better wait for a while. We're here."
They stopped in front of a white and green building. It had a sign that says 'Blanco Restaurant'.
"I heard they serve rank 6 beast meat here. It's the closest one to a good restaurant." Nexus got out of the car after it parked itself.
"Rank 6 beast meat?" Emily's eyes went wide.
"I think the first thing I should tell you is that we don't have to worry about money anymore." Eva chuckled.
"Wh-what?" Emily had a stupefied expression on her face.
"Yep and many more." Eva grabbed Emily's wrist and pulled her out of the car.
They made their way into the building and were greeted by an employee.
"Good morning," The employee greeted.
Nexus cleared his throat and said, "Do you have private rooms available?"
The girls are going to have a private conversation. It would be best for the three of them to stay in a room where there aren't any other people.
The employee nodded. "Yes sir, right this way."
They walked on white and green tiles. The place was pretty huge. The chairs were furnished, and the tables had green tablecloths made of special materials.
They were escorted to a room on the 2nd floor. It had an area of about 90 square meters and there was a table in the middle.
They sat down and checked their menu.
"I'd like all of your rank 6 beast meat dishes. One of each. Bring in 5 orders of fries too." Nexus placed the menu down.
Eva chuckled and told the waiter what she wanted.
Emily sat there dumbfounded while looking at the prices.
"Em, which ones do you want?" Eva asked.
"Uhm, I'll just have what you're having, Big Sis," Emily answered.
She's never tried any of these dishes so she doesn't know which ones were good, and she was also shy.
Even Eva didn't, she just ordered what looked good.
Nexus looked at Emily and laughed. "Your sister was shy like you for about a week or so. Now she's slowly starting to adjust."
Eva chuckled, while Emily remained puzzled.
