While eating, Allen organized the information he had gathered. If this was somewhere in Greece, then he should already be near from Milan.

In the previous world, Greece was split several parts, turning into several Islands and Milan who traveled by far had become a part of one of the Greece Islands… it seems like they crashed into each other and somehow become connected.

From what Allen had remembered there was only two Greece Islands that possesses two Dungeons near the city and one of them is the one connected to Milan… Well, it should be fortunate if this was that island…

As Allen was thinking his next plans, he noticed a woman sitting near their table, watching them. A middle-aged woman around mid-forties to her early fifties. Brunette, hawk-like eyes, cherry colored lips, beautiful long nose and thin make-up. There were already some wrinkles at the corner of her eyes; however, she still radiated a youthful aura.

As the waiter and waitress passing by, some bowed to her, extremely respectful. She was with two middle-aged men and three teenagers; consisting of two female and one male.

Similar to the brunette woman, two of the teenagers, a young girl around 18 – 19 years old and the man with dirty gold and black hair, was also watching them. The girl had a flaming red hair, clear cat eyes with some freckles on her cheeks.

Allen had already noticed them, watching him and Sara the moment they entered and since then, their eyes never left from them. It’s as if they were observing his every action…

Then, the woman stood up, which was then followed by the two teenagers.

“Wait! Where are you going?!” Allen heard some voices from behind her but she didn’t seem to mind it and responded.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Stanley, but it seems like time has run out. We had someone waiting for us.” The brunette woman smiled apologetically.

“Madam Galanis, what do you-”

“Please excuse us~”

Then she started walking away. Behind her, was the three teenager whom the last one followed with a confused expression.

“Did you like the food?” As Allen was pretending to not notice them, a voice asked beside him.

Allen turned around and saw the brunette woman.

“Yeah, though it’s a bit spicy, nonetheless it’s a good food,” Allen answered.

Sara looked at Allen, clearly not understanding the intruder’s words. “Do you know her?” Sara asked while frowning.

“Of course not, silly. This is the first time I had come to this place, how would I know someone here?”

“Really? But how can you speak Greek so fluently?”

“I can’t do anything about it, I’m a genius~” Allen winked at her, causing the young lady to blushed furiously. Hmph! Sara snorted from Allen’s shameless claim, averting her eyes as if trying to hide her embarrassment.

The Brunette woman didn’t mind Allen and Sara’s little exchange in some foreign language she doesn’t know.

“I’m the owner of this little restaurant, My name is Andrea Galanis and these are my children, Basilius and Barbara and their friend, Cailey Cosse.” The Brunette woman named Andrea Galanis introduced her children, the man and the girl behind him, the one who seemed confused.

The other one who was looking at Allen with cat-like eyes was Cailey Cosse, she was looking at him as if she was trying to see through him.

Of course, that wasn’t just a mere guess.

“If you need anything, you can tell us.”

“No thank you,” Allen replied, then he turned his gaze towards Cailey. “Ms. Cosse,”

Being addressed, Cailey was startled.

“… I believe it’s an unwise decision to pry on someone’s privacy without his permission.” Allen smiled amicably but his eyes were glittering an ominous gleam. “It’s disrespectful and rude…”

“!?” Cailey shook. “I,”

“It's fine, I know you can’t help it…” Allen cut her off. “So can you please stop your skill now?”

Cailey immediately nodded. Then the uncomfortable feeling Allen felt immediately disappeared.

“Nyaah?” eating on her fish, the lazy cat raised her side slightly and waved its claws threateningly at the intruders. It was the only beast Allen could summon since all his beast was still in recovering state and Allen didn’t want to disturb them.

“Please forgive our rudeness, we don’t mean anything…” Miss Andrea apologizes while she took an empty chair and sat on it. She doesn’t seem to have any thoughts of leaving.

Allen frowned but he didn’t say anything and continued eating.

Sara, on the other hand, was already displeased as she glares at Andrea. However, she only smiled at her and raised her arm. “Waiter, bring some scallops and white wine, please”

The three people behind her also took their own chairs and drag a table, shamelessly connected it to Allen’s table.

“I hope you don’t mind~” Andrea cast an apologetic glance.

Allen shrugs.

“Are you not a human?” Suddenly, Basilius asked with a strange tone, surprising the people aside from Allen and Sara who didn’t understand him, from his frank and blatant question.

“Basilius!” Andrea exclaimed. Her face fell from the insensitivity of her son. Even the two females besides him couldn’t help but frown.

No matter how you see it, this was a very sensitive question. Especially if you are saying that with a slightly arrogant face as if saying, 'Please punch me' expression.

“I’m just curious~” Basilius shrugs indifferently.

“Please don’t take offense from my son’s idiocy…” Andrea hurriedly said.

Allen put down his spoon and fork and looks at them. His face still has the usual smile, but his eyes were cold and chill. “My friend, sometimes words can kill a person, and can even induce a pain like being stabbed with a needle. I hope you learn how to understand that.”

“… …” At this moment, Basilius suddenly clutched his forehead and as his expression became distorted. He started groaning painfully.

His sudden change immediately startled the other people.

“Well, it can also induce painful headaches from being disrespectful, my friend.”

And with Allen’s words, the pain Basilius was experiencing suddenly become stronger. He started screaming as he dropped on the ground, clutching his head tightly. All the people inside the restaurant suddenly became alarmed and stood up. However, no one dared to step forward.

This was Dark Arts – [ Cursed Words ]! Though it’s a weak ability that can only affect people and monsters much weaker than the user, and it has no effect on the people with stronger minds and willpower and also those have a higher level than the user, still it was an amazing ability.

Andrea, Cailey, and Barbara instantly became anxious.

“Mr. Bando, please forgive my son! He meant no harm nor discourteous!”

Allen smirked and with a snapped his finger, Basilius screams stopped. His face pale and his eyes red as if he had just used opium.

“This is a warning, further aggression and discourteous will mean death…” Allen’s lips curled into a grin. “No matter who you are…”

Andrea took a deep breath and nodded. She bit her lips and returned to her seat. The others help Basilius to stand up, fear colored their eyes.

“No need for this fiasco and state what you want… I don’t want my time in a restaurant to be once again be disturbed. You see, I had some not-so-good memories inside restaurants… you don’t want this place to be a battlefield, am I right?” Allen smiled bitterly.

“Of, of course.” Andrea nodded her head as she stared at Allen as if he were some difficult puzzle.

“Truthfully, I’m the Alpha Branch leader of the Guild, [ Athenian ]. We are a bit lacking in members and so we are recruiting good warriors to challenge the Boss Monster on the Second Floor… that is why Cailey here was scouting for good members. Which she had found you… though there was some questionable information, my son was only trying to confirm our suspicion.” Andrea said respectfully.

Allen listened to while eating. Athenian… a guild worshipping Athena that will become famous a year later… known as Children of Athena …

“What is this Dungeon?”

“We call it [ Minos’ Labyrinth ]… it’s Dungeon with an interior that looked like a maze.”

[ Minos’ Labyrinth ] – If Allen remembers correctly, [ Minos’ Labyrinth ] has five floors to the underground. It was big and confusing – not only monsters inside are strong but also, the maze itself was deadly.

And in the bottom part of the Dungeon lays an incredibly powerful Minotaur… or that should it be, as for its level, Allen didn’t know, he didn’t challenge it in the previous life and he had only heard about it.

However, this information was extremely important, after all, this was the Dungeon found in the Island which was connected to Milan where Mia and her sister should be…

So, her headquarters should be near this place…

But a new Dungeon… ey, that’s tempting~
