"Then why didn't you tell me beforehand?" Jeffrey Rogge patted his chest, looking as if he had been startled. "I just spent all that time mentally preparing myself."
"For such a wonderful assignment, there had to be some kind of test," Tierra said with a shrug. "Come on, let's find somewhere to eat. We might be here for quite a while."
"How about this restaurant?" Tierra pointed at a restaurant hidden in the shadows cast by the shops and merchandise, yet clearly bustling with a constant stream of customers. "Wave's Garden. The name is a little strange, but everyone who comes out of there seems very satisfied."
It was a little unethical, but the spell Peering was exceptionally convenient in Tierra's daily life, especially when choosing restaurants.
Tierra did not even need to delve deeply into their thoughts. He only needed to see the surface-level joy and satisfaction in their souls.
Jeffrey looked in the direction Tierra was pointing and could feel the restaurant's lively atmosphere even from afar.
Jeffrey smiled politely. "It looks nice. Let's go there."
The two entered Wave's Garden and were immediately surrounded by the restaurant's bustling atmosphere.
The entire restaurant was decorated with ocean-themed elements. The walls were covered with paintings of coastal scenery, while the tables held exquisite ornaments shaped like tiny sea creatures.
Unlike other restaurants, the lighting inside was bright and dazzling, making it feel as though they were standing on a sunlit beach.
They were led to a window seat, from which they could overlook the entire restaurant.
"I really like the lighting here," Tierra said after they had settled at the table. "I honestly don't understand why some restaurants insist on making the lights so dim. I can't even see the menu."
As he spoke, Tierra handed Jeffrey a menu.
