Chapter 67 - Jalebi?!!

"We should go now and check some other food booths," said Yoshino and bid farewell to Victor and his group. Homia stayed behind and invited him for a duel on the specially designed platform by the Grand Elder. Victor was feeling excited and nervous at the same time. Excited because a point ranker is inviting him for a fight, a point ranker!

They are a level above the number rankers like Victor and work directly under the head Asterik Alliance, unlike the number rankers who work under the IGSHF. And the funny thing was the head of the Asterik alliance is none other than Aryan's mom Anisa Aizawa.

But Victor was not aware of Aryan's mom and her background. All he knew was Hiroki Aizawa, the organizer of the International Cultivation Fair, and the head of the planet has requested IGSHF to send some of its officials to look over the security.

He gladly accepted his invite and promised to show up in the arena after an hour, exactly at 8:30 PM. Homia reminded him again not to be late for the match and went his way. Knowing that the match will begin in an hour, he closed his booth and began preparing for the match. Since he was against a point ranker, he was planning to go all out. Last time he went all out with Rank 2 of the IGSHF and faced a bitter defeat. But that was a one-year-old event.

After completing various missions and gaining experience, he was a full-fledged veteran now, and Homia, a point ranker, was the best person to test out his new powers and progress that he has made over a year.

Meanwhile, Aryan and Yoshino were jumping from booth to booth, stall to stall, devouring each and every food item that came on the way. Starting from icecream to cold coffee followed by custards and pastry. Now that they have toured the sweet market, their next stop was the Curry Palace.

A booth spread over a large field, with dozens of serving boys and chefs working of their a** for the howling customers seated on the wooden benches. Aryan and Yoshino used their Special Mythril VIP Cards to reserve a special seat away from the crowds in the far corner of that place.

The manager of that booth was astonished and happy at the same time.

Astonished because a small boy and a young girl showed him the VIP cards, tailor-made for the higher-ups and the management committee. And happy because god knows how but after they entered their booth, they got a flood of customers. Earlier, they were getting customers, but that place was not that crowded, but after they entered and started eating, the scenario changed.

What happened there was not magic nor a miracle. The thing is when they were showing the VIP cards to the manager of the Curry Palace, some reporters wandering around live telecasted that scene. Gaining the attention of many peoples of different zones of the fair. Then what happened next… I am too lazy to explain imagine it yourself.

After devouring some curry and rice plates, Yoshino and Aryan left the Curry Palace. While they were leaving, the manager of that place gifted them two small pouches and asked them to open it after leaving the Curry Palace.

Both of them opened their pouches and found a golden colour food item inside it. Its size was the same as that of a biscuit, but at the same time, it was not a biscuit nor a cookie. It was a weirdly looking spiral-shaped biscuit. Along with that thing, there was also a note inside describing that thing and its origin.

Dear Customer, thanks for visiting our Curry Palace.

"Hmmm….. Its name is Jalebi."

"Yes, Jalebi."

"Shall we taste it?"

"Can't wait anymore," replied Yoshino.

Both of them took out the Jalebi from their pouch and bite down a piece of it. "Splurt..." heavy hot syrup flooded their mouth. It was sweet and a little bit sour at the same time, completely different from the two desserts they have tried at Victors' shop.

Without any further ado, they put the whole Jalebi in their mouths, *Splurt, splurt, splurt…* hot syrup gushed out from the Jalebi and along with that, the sweet crunchiness of the outer covering.

After eating the first one Aryan put his hand in the pouch for the second, but to his disdain, there wasn't any second in it.

Aryan pondered something and ordered Yoshino in a solemn voice, "Onee Sama, buy it for me."

"Already called the management team," she replied with a smirk.

"Good, let's go."

"Let's go." 

Seeing the sudden smirk on their faces, peoples nearby observing them were getting confused. 'Just what in the world happened to them after eating that spiral-shaped thing?' was the thought in everyone's mind.

Little did they know the Curry Palace and its subsidiary branches are being bought up by the Aizawa family with a single call.

Their food market tour stopped after the Curry Palace, and they went straight to the duel arena. It was a giant floating platform in the sky, with gallery seats on the sides. Aryan looked around that place and estimated the number of people it could hold up. And to his surprise, the number was the last of the four-digit number.

Both of them showed their VIP cards and reserved the best seat for them, with extra snacks and drinks for the match. The match hasn't started then, but all the yelling and cheering of the peoples has started. That place was becoming noisy with each passing minute. Everybody's eyes were set on the arena to see the matches that were yet to start.

Suddenly all the lights of that place were switched off, and the cheering and yelling sound of the spectators sitting there stopped.

Silence~~
