Chapter 105: Chapter 105
Arthur's Point of View
The Rainy Helm
"That girl has done more for my sister than either of us know." Elincia stated with her head still down. "There was a time when I was also lost, but Lucia was there for Arceana. I know your relationship with us is shaky at best. However, we would like you to come to the Temple to talk." Looking up at me, she continued. "My hope is we can begin working together in earnest and do what we can to aid you in future endeavors."
Austin and Sherry seemed surprised. "Uh..." They weren't the only ones. "It's fine. I had my own reasons for getting involved."
"Maybe so, but it does not change the fact that you have continually saved the people of this town and kingdom." Elincia eyed Austin for a moment before continuing more cautiously. "While your methods were a little extreme, I am inclined to agree with them given the situation."
Nodding slightly, I leaned back more relaxed. "Good to know. Keep me posted on how they are."
Elincia smiled as she wiped her face gently to remove the tears. "You are more than welcome to come check on them." The chapters is up by N0vEI__bin
I frowned at that. "I'd rather not." Austin and Elincia seemed surprised at that.
"May I ask why?" The Priestesses inquired.
I shrugged. "This is an offer that I'd like to make to bring some changes to the Rainy Helm. Food, drinks, expansion, and whatnot."
"So forthcoming." Elincia stated in a playful tone.
"Yes. Information that will eventually be well known is very easy to be forthcoming about." Then I pointed at Sherry. "Though, it all depends on her."
"Perhaps we could test some of the foods you plan on bringing over?" Sherry offered. "I'd like a chance to test those before we proceed with talks because the menu is one of the most important parts of an establishment such as this."
I nodded. "That's fair." Standing up, I gestured to her kitchen. "Can I borrow your ingredients? I doubt I'll be able to make everything I want to bring over, but I'm confident I can make something that's to your liking!"
Sherry smiled and nodded. "Certainly!"
Elincia and Austin stood to follow us. "Can we see what you plan on making? If it is as good as you claim, I would be interested in incorporating it around the Temple." Elincia asked as she walked next to Sherry and me.
"Ah could even make it at home!" Austin declared as he grabbed my arm playfully, and I chuckled.
"The whole point is to share these things with the people in the lowest rung, but I'm not averse to it being in the Temple. Maybe something I eat when I come to visit." I replied and then ruffled Austin's hair. "And this is something very simple to make."
"Now I am very curious." Elincia stated. "What is this magic dish you plan on making?"
Chuckling, I responded as we made it to the kitchen, and I started to grab all the ingredients I needed. "It's not a magic dish by any means, but I figured french toast would be something everyone would enjoy." Grabbing everything I need, I began. "Although, I am also a huge fan of Monte Cristo sandwiches, which I make out of french toast."
Sherry watched me carefully as Elincia spoke. "Very well. Let us see this 'french toast' that you speak of."
