Fuyuki City, a restaurant...
This was one of the finest restaurants in Fuyuki City.
The people who dined here generally had some status and considerable wealth. The cost of a meal was not something an ordinary family could afford. Even a simple meal would absolutely equal roughly a month's food expenses for an average household.
Because of that, the restaurant was open almost twenty-four hours a day and served meals even late at night, making it a rather unusual yet high-end establishment.
Today, at around one in the morning, this upscale restaurant had been entirely booked out.
In this restaurant, whose scale rivaled that of a hotel, only seven people aside from the staff would be dining here until dawn...
At a large round table capable of seating more than ten people, steaming dishes had been placed one after another, filling the entire table. Their extravagance was enough to leave anyone dumbfounded.
There was rich soup simmered from a whole chicken, meat dishes stir-fried with large amounts of precious spices, vegetables drizzled with expensive seasonings, savory pies steamed with freshwater fish, and countless other dazzling, luxurious dishes. Their mouthwatering fragrance filled the air.
The price of this single table of food was enough to make people gape. If someone from a poor family stood here, perhaps he would not even dare take a bite...
Naturally, the taste was first-rate as well. Even if it could not compare
