《Pandemonium of a Lazy Soul》Episode 22-Scars are just another kind of memory
Advertisement
After sorting my thoughts in order, I waited for 30 minutes before my glowing skin slowly started to turn back to normal. The glowing skin could possibly be the side effect of having so much magi particle in my body.
There were often people from yesterday coming back to my shop but seeing the 'End of discount' sign everyone went back dejected.
It was fairly empty and quiet till noon time. Suddenly someone came through the door. It was a man in his early 30's with a scar across his face. Ah here come the first spy sent to test my food.
He tried to smile but the scar just made it worse. Then he asked, "Where is the menu?" I pointed to the desk in front of me. He came forward to look at the menu, only to be scared shitless seeing the updated price.
"What the hell? Why is everything in the menu so heavily priced? Are you making all your food in molten gold or something? Even the food tower most expensive dish is cheaper than this costing only 200 gold." The man screamed at the prices
"It is your choice whether to buy it or not, I am not forcing you to buy it. Besides I had a warning written outside that it was going to be very expensive and all discount has ended. If you don't want to buy it you can go out." I replied calmly ignoring his earlier cursing.
"Damn. Can I at least get some kind of discount please?" The man begged
"Acquire the membership from me and I will give you discount."
"Fine how much is the membership?" The man asked hopefully
"1000 Gold"
"Screw this shit. Are you messing with me? Don't ..."
"Listen here dude I don't want to know what other shops are doing, or how people usually run their business. You want to buy stuff from here then you follow my rules. Now do you want anything or not? If not the please get out!" I interrupted him before he could go onto one of those cliché dialogues usually found in novels.

The man muttered something under his breath before taking out 2000 Gold notes. "All three of the items in the menu, please"
"Why the hell were you making an over reaction when you were capable of paying in the first place? Crazy people these days." Scolding the man, I walked back into the kitchen feeling an intense glare on my back. I slowly started preparing the meal before placing each of them in a tray and taking it out.
"Your order is ready." I said as I placed the dish in front of the man that seemed to be charmed by the smell.
He took the tray while drooling to a table and chair. I wanted to see what changes might happen when changing the ingredient, so I observed him eating. He started with the soup and finished with the salad, while overdramatically expressing what each customer showed yesterday when eating each of them. When he finished the meal strangely his whole body started glowing and his head started to turn red with the blood flow. Suddenly his scar started to close in by replacing the dead tissue at visible speed. Till there was no scar remaining.
Seeing this sight made me open my mouth in shock. The flip is this, when did cooking become so overpowered to the point of being able to heal, scars? Why did I never noticed any of this happening when I was cooking, in heaven? Oh, damn I was in my soul form to notice any of this, if I had noticed cooking can cause something like this I would have completed the full training course for being a master chef from heaven.
The man feeling the sudden itch in his face touched where his scar used to be only to feel nothing but his new skin. He was suddenly happy before his expression turned to that of shock. Suddenly he stood up quickly to leave the restaurant. But when he reached the door he hesitated before leaving.

After he left I spend some time thinking before I understood why his scar healed. Most likely his whole body was energised by the food to the point of even causing the damaged layer of skin to be revived and heal itself using the energy from the food.
I only had a 10-minute rest before 3 other middle-aged people came in, 2 women and 1 man. Seeing their serious demeanour, I didn't greet them or anything. I pointed to the desk when they made eye contact with me. Seeing that they came forward to look at the menu. Their eyes expressed their shock, but silently each took 2000 Gold notes from their wallet before passing to me.
"Should I presume all 3 meals for the 3 of you?" They nodded to me before I went into the kitchen. I came out of the kitchen with the trolley filled with 3 trays containing their food, only to see that unlike the previous people they were not entranced by the smell of the food. As I got near them I could feel some kind of current of air flowing around them.
Interesting one of them probably used the air magi to divert the smell, as soon as they saw one of them becoming enamoured by the spell. They must have thought it was some kind of drug.
I placed the 3 trays on the table and looked at the apprehensive people that were reluctant to take the tray. Except for one of the women who seemed eager to try the food. Guess that is the one who smelt the food first causing the other 2 to be on alert.
I smiled while the women finally couldn't resist it and took the tray to the table. Seeing her the other two sighed but never stopped the air current as the took the tray to the table. Each of them sat an equal distance apart from each other. So, they are all sent by 3 different masters.
Watching the expression made by the women who first took the tray, both of them were very reluctant to touch the food. But closing their eyes they suddenly took a pill out of their pocket and swallowed it. Then they to started eating. I presume the pill is probably some kind of magic pill that makes them immune to any kind of drug or mind control effect. They probably thought the women was got under some kind of mind control drug.
But alas for them as soon as they tasted the food, they too started crying. 10 minutes later all of them started glowing like the scar dude. Before releasing a breath of hot air. Like the scar dude all of their eyes were filled with shock and happiness. All three of them stood up, to leave the shop to possibly inform their masters of what happened here.
"Lets see what happens next." I mused before grinning.
