When the food arrived neatly on the table and with the assurance from Angelica, Sheila immediately dives into it without a second thought. The first thing she chose was a hot steamed steak covered in a delicious looking sauce, it was the culprit that caused her stomach to rumble hungrily like a wolf.

After cutting the steak into a small piece enough to fit in her small mouth, Sheila elegantly shoves the piece down her throat or so she thought but to the two girls sitting in front of her, it looks more like she was gulping it down like a person who hadn't eat for a month. Her eyes sparkled the moment she took a bit on it as the juice inside the piece rush out and spread into her mouth, assaulting her taste bud like a wild storm.

As expected of a high class looking restaurant, although it was not comparable to the time when I was with my mother on her business, this steak is actually not that bad nonetheless. It's even better since I'm not the one paying for the food! Sheila thought in her mind while she was indulging herself with the food in front of her. Though the two girls have been ignoring her weird antics, it wasn't long before the emerald eyes girl to also followed right behind Sheila, gulping the food down her throat like a mini hungry wolf.

The girl, Mia didn't notice this, however. Just like Sheila, Mia's hunger immediately skyrockets the moment she came to know the food was going to be a treat from Angelica. Mia heaved a relieved sigh as her stiff shoulders visibly relaxing upon knowing that since she was expecting to pay for her own potion, after all, she was just a poor commoner, this high-class restaurant is too much of a high level for her.

Although she had quite a special identity that comes up with a few quirks, that only works in a certain region and unfortunately, this region was not included. That was why she was quite nervous and visibly tense when Angelica brought her into the restaurant. It had been a tiring day for her as she had never gone so far away from her home country, although she seemed fine outer appearance-wise, internally she was pretty exhausted.

When Angelica had invited her, Mia was going to reject the offer but then remember that she was on her break so she ended up accepting with curiosity in mind. The two had been quite close after getting to know each other at that one time in a small banquet celebrating Angelica's birthdays. Although they were not that close, the two relationships could still be called that of a friend.

Mia had thought of having a nice break like a small vacation when accepting the offer, forgetting the fact that Angelica came from an influential family. If the latter were to go on vacation, obviously the place has to be pretty luxurious. It was too late to regret by now, might as well enjoy the food just like the girl in front of her as she put the guitar-size case to her left side. Her teacher had always told her to bring this with her whenever she went out, she didn't know the reason for it but as a docile person, she followed her teacher's instruction without any question.

While they were eating, there are times that Sheila and Mia ended up in a small glaring battle as they fight for the food on the table. Without saying anything, the two were glaring at each other silently when suddenly, Angelica picked up the last piece and shoves it into her mouth while the two widen their eyes at her in shock. The two have been focusing on each other that they have forgotten about the third and most important presence on the table which caused them to halt their small dispute for but a moment.

That went on until all the food on the table was only left with a few deserts that had just arrived after everything had been cleaned up. And since the two of them already had their fill which one could see a small bump on their belly, that only left Angelica to finish the desert on her own.

"I almost thought you two were sibling judging from the way you two were acting a while ago."

Angelica said with a few chuckles in her word as if remembering the scene while she was midway talking, earning a glare from Sheila before the latter harumph to the side. Meanwhile, Mia was a bit flustered when she remembers the way she behaves a while ago seemed pretty childish but she can't help it since the food is just too good.

Sheila didn't say anything and simply stares at Angelica as the latter tilted her head in confusion for a moment before coming upon realization and nodded her head afterward.

"Right, I haven't introduced the two of to each other just yet. Next to my right is Mia, a foreigner, and a friend of mine."

Angelica said while pointing her hands toward Mia who becomes bashful all of sudden, completely different than the one who had just pick a fight with Sheila while ago for the food. Mia had been pretty shy around strangers as far as Angelica knew about the latter, so she didn't find it strange.

"As you can see, she's also pretty shy around a stranger. Anyways, Mia met Sheila."

"Nice to meet you."

"Uh..mm...Nice to meet..you too."

Sheila gives her greeting with a nod toward Mia as she also timidly answered in return. So her name is Mia, huh. But I don't really care about the name, the most important thing right now is... Angelica seemed to understood the intent from her gaze as when their eyes met each other, she opened her mouth and said.

"As for why I called you out so sudden, it was because of one but simple reason. Don't you want to know about a mage and their magecraft?"

"!!!"

The two were alarmed and surprised when Angelica suddenly directs such a question toward Sheila, though she could it see it coming, Sheila still didn't fully believe it. But from the way Angelica phrasing it, it must have been true.

Mia was surprised because she didn't expect her friend to sell her out so suddenly as her eyes widen in pure shock. Her teacher had repeatedly warned her that she shouldn't mention anything in public regarding what she had learned since its kind of a taboo thing. She was told the punishment is pretty heavy so she keeps it in her mind and also repeatedly told herself that every morning in case she might have forgotten about it.

And now, a friend of hers who also came from the same world suddenly mentioned one of the taboos in front of the girl who Mia assumed as a normal person. It couldn't be helped for her to be shocked, right? Unless the girl in front of her is not who she assumed her to be...
