About How My Childhood Friend Is a Tsundere Glutton.
Those solid muscles, that shiny black skin... you could easily pass for Valkyrie version of Superalloy Darkshine.
Even Mei, in the Yugi's storyline, greatly admires this legendary Valkyrie.
It's hard to imagine how this La Signora, who could practically run a horse on her shoulders, gave birth to that petite, adorable, and energetic junior.
This is probably one of the unsolved mysteries in the history of Honkai.
"Hahaha! Aren't all the people from the various branches here at headquarters? I also received orders to come."
"I never expected to run into you here, you little brat."
Lewis laughed heartily at this moment.
In the eyes of the three, Mo Wang and this La Signora seemed to have a pretty good relationship.
"It's been a long time, Lewis. I didn't expect to see you here."
When Fu Hua saw Lewis, she greeted him.
"Oh, isn't this Lady Fu Hua? You're here too."
"Speaking of which, who are these two?"
Lewis turned around and immediately spotted Anna and Wendy.
"I forgot to introduce them. These two are my companions. I brought them here today specifically to try the owner's cooking."
Mo Wang, who had been restrained by Lewis, seized the opportunity to escape and then introduced himself to Lewis.
"Oh? Companions?"
Lewis paused for a moment, then let out a long sigh and placed his hand heavily on Mo Wang's body.
"Little Mo Wang, you can't do this."
"Little Bianca will get angry if you go out with a female companion."
"Whether she's angry or not is none of my business."
Mo Wang felt a bit confused when he heard Lewis's words.
"Sigh, it seems you're still holding a grudge about what happened before."
"But is this really a good idea?"
Lewis then spoke to Mo Wang.
"What do you mean, 'really' good? Senior Lewis, what are you talking about?"
Mo Wang felt increasingly bewildered. When did Lewis become a riddle-maker?
"No, it's nothing. Just think of this old woman talking to herself."
Lewis chuckled, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards the back of the Tavern.
"Um?"
Mo Wang looked in the direction of the other person's gaze with a puzzled expression, only to find that there seemed to be no one there.
Meow~
Just as Mo Wang Mo Wang was wondering what was going on, a cat's meow suddenly caught his attention.
"Huh? Are there cats here?"
After hearing the cat meow, Wendy curiously glanced at the seats behind her.
Then she saw Stan meowing and Penguin lying below, looking embarrassed and doing something.
Their eyes met, and an awkward atmosphere quickly filled the Tavern.
"What, it's you again, woman?"
Mo Wang noticed the problem and came over as well.
Looking at the Penguin lying below, I couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
Why do I keep seeing this guy no matter where I go?
Chapter 283 About the fact that my childhood sweetheart is a proud and arrogant foodie.
Inside the Tavern, Mo Wang frowned as he looked at the Penguin in front of him.
He never imagined that he would run into this Penguin so often.
"What are you doing here? And why are you hiding here like this?"
Mo Wang couldn't help but ask the Penguin in front of him.
"No problem, I just came to find the cat."
Penguin saw Mo Wang, it stood up from the ground expressionlessly, as if nothing had happened.
If we exclude the suspicious blush on this guy's face...
"You actually keep a cat?"
"Wait, what are you doing here?"
Mo Wang glanced at Stan in Penguin's arms, then realized something was wrong.
"What are you doing? Do you think you're the only one who can come to this restaurant? It's perfectly normal for me to come here to eat."
"Penguin said somewhat indignantly."
"That's what makes it strange, okay?"
"You, don't you usually only eat Rita's cooking?"
Mo Wang stared at the Penguin, then asked, "You rascal, you weren't secretly following me, were you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Penguin hearing Mo Wang's words, Dai'e slammed his hand on the table.
That wooden table, which had been there for who knows how many years, and was probably mostly an antique, now had a handprint on it.
"Can't this girl be a little gentler?"
Seeing the handprint on his table, the old man, the owner, felt a pang of heartache.
"Haha, isn't this great? I say, boss, you should probably change up the layout here a bit."
"Is it because of the state of your place that you don't have many customers?"
Lewis couldn't help but burst into laughter as he spoke to his boss.
"Stop rambling! This is all part of the history of my shop! It was already like this when the bishop came here."
The boss couldn't help but say something at this point.
"Hey, I mean, that was so many years ago."
Lewis couldn't help but complain.
"There aren't many; my grandfather's generation has been using this system."
The boss said calmly.
At this moment, when faced with Mo Wang's questioning, the Penguin turned its head away, revealing a disgusted expression, "Who would follow someone like you? It's just that Rita is going to give a report to the bishop tonight, leaving me all alone."
"Besides what Rita makes, this is the only place I can eat here."
"You rascal."
Mo Wang looked at the Penguin in front of him with a somewhat awkward expression. "When we first came here, didn't you complain that the calories here were too high? Every time you come, you complain about it but still order a ton of stuff."
"Stop nagging! You were the one who insisted on dragging me here in the first place!"
Upon hearing Mo Wang's words, Penguin's face immediately turned red.
Even the hand holding Stan tightened unconsciously, causing Stan to cry out in pain.
"Huh? The Captain brought Durandal to dinner? Aren't you two mortal enemies?"
Upon hearing what Penguin said, Wendy's face suddenly lit up with gossip again.
Even Anna, who was standing to the side, was no exception.
"You have the nerve to say that! If I hadn't seen you starving to death on the road, I wouldn't have bothered with you at all!"
"I'm telling you, you say you're annoying, but you're the one who eats the most every time you come here!"
Mo Wang then slammed his hand on the table again, leaving another palm print on it.
"Looks like I really need to change the tables and chairs here. Honestly, when will these two kids ever grow up?"
The boss couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Oh, so even Durandal is a regular here. Speaking of which, do you know anything about the boss and Senior Lewis?"
Seeing that the two were still arguing, Wendy simply ran over to the boss and Lewis.
In her opinion, since neither Mo Wang nor Penguin wanted to talk about the past, Lewis and the boss, who were acquaintances of the two, must know about their past.
Why not learn about their past from them?
"Little guy, is it really okay for you to be so inquisitive about the relationship between these two?"
"I think you actually like that wooden thing too."
Lewis looked at Wendy with curiosity, and couldn't help but become interested in this lively child who asked them so directly.
"Of course, after all, there are a lot of people who like the Captain."
"However, compared to other opponents, I think Durandal, who is my childhood friend, is a greater threat."
"As the saying goes, 'Know your enemy and know your enemy.'"
Without any hesitation, Wendy revealed her true thoughts.
In Wendy's view, her rivals can be divided into several tiers.
The first tier, without a doubt, is Kiana, who is currently Mo Wang's official girlfriend.
Although this legitimate empress may seem a bit silly, she actually has a loyal Herrscher Kiana, making her a formidable opponent in a two-on-one fight.
The second tier consists of those who have already expressed their stance but haven't yet defeated the Empress to successfully ascend to power. This likely includes Duck, Anna, and Theresa.
The third tier consists of those who have some affection for each other, but haven't yet fully developed into lovers; they are more than friends but not quite lovers.
This group likely consists of Himeko, Fu Hua, and Mei.
Logically speaking, given the situation of this Penguin, it wouldn't be a problem to go into third gear, or even fourth gear.
But considering that Kiana did the same thing before, and ended up overtaking everyone else to become the top tier, who knows, maybe Penguin will do the same?
"Is that really her attitude? What an interesting little girl."
"Hahaha! Want to know about their past? Sure, we practically watched them grow up."
After a hearty laugh, Lewis began to recount some other little-known stories about Mo Wang and Penguin.
"Tsk! That really hurts. Does that Penguin girl really not know how to hold her hand?"
Walking on the road to headquarters, Mo Wang rubbed his buttocks as he walked, complaining about the cruelty of a certain senior sister.
"With such violence, it's no wonder he's been single for so long. In the end, even his partner was stolen by Theresa."
"I'm really speechless. How come all of that guy's daughters are so violent?"
Mo Wang couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Fortunately, Mo Wang has always been an optimistic person, and soon his low mood was replaced by something else.
"Speaking of which, it seems the bishop gave out pocket money today."
"Great! Today is the perfect day to go to the boss's place and have a delicious meal!"
Mo Wang thinking about the steak and bread in the restaurant makes my stomach start to rumble.
Incidentally, as an orphan, Mo Wang doesn't have to spend money on meals in the headquarters cafeteria, but comparatively speaking, he doesn't have much other money.
From this point on, Mo Wang's only source of funding was the money Otto gave her, which was supposed to be a stipend but was actually just pocket money.
