Things did not go as Vulcar had hoped, Lady Nobell did not go to a single place he tried to take her to. She walked with purpose as if she already knew the town. What confused him though was that she was heading towards the slums.
Even when he told her about how unsavory that place is, she just gave him that condescending dismissive look before continuing in her way. Without a choise he followed her.
They went towards an old building that seemed to be a restaurant. Frowning inside he followed her Into this place with a fake smile still trying to get on her good side even though he could tell how fruitless that was.
He was in a really bad mood until he saw two extremely beautiful woman who appeared to be twins, they seemed to be servants of this place, he was certain if he, the young master of this town asked them to join him they would gladly do so.
His mood improved thinking about the things he will do to them. One of them approached their table with a smile. Good morning customers, can I take your order? She asked with a sweet beautiful voice.
As he was talking to Lady Nobell still trying to convince her to go to another establishment, he was interrupted by the servant. In order to show off his magnanimity to Lady Nobell,he dismissed the servant as polite as he could to someone so much lower than him.
After his words,the mood in the restaurant suddenly shifted, he felt cold,his skin tingled as if there was a silent predator was looking as him, he looked around searching for the source of his discomfort but saw no one, he couldn't even feel where the aura was coming from.
Instinctively he released his own aura, the air around him simmered with heat, he thought of moving and searching for the culprit but before he could move he heard a door open, out came a man who looks even younger than him.
He was also a normal person without an ounce of mana inside him, yet the instant he showed up, mana in the room seemed to bow as If it was infront of a higher life form. His aura and the other dissipated, he was shaken, too shaken infact to even notice the surprise in Nobells eyes or how tense the giant man with her is. He did not however associate that phenomenon with the man, he was merely mortal after all.
They made their order, the menu only contained normal food from normal dormant animal, no spiritual ingredients, truly this place is for peasants, it disgraceful for him to even be here.
He was surprised when lady Nobell made an order not from the menu, he looked carefully at his and was certain this was not from the menu. He asked the rude servant and she just pretended she doesn't know what he is talking about, infuriating.
After their meal which tasted surprisingly good for non spiritual food, they paid their bill, lady Nobell gently put her slip in her pocket like it was something precious which got him curious,they left after that. He offered lady Nobell a place to stay in their guest house which of course she declined, although he expected it, he was still disappointed.
He was seething on his way home, he was not even in the mood to ask those two servants to warm his bed tonight, infact after the disrespect she showed him, he was not going to ask them at all but they were warming his bed nonetheless.

After those guest left, Yamiyo the younger sister looked at her older sister. You should not have done that. Why?he was being disrespectful. It doesn't matter, you know who that is and his reputation, this will just bring trouble.
Then I will take care of it. That would just bring more trouble to the boss. I will leave no traces. You know his stance on killing. Yeah but if he tried something then my actions would be justified. But this situation could've been avoided, he always says, avoid killing when possible.
Except for when it necessary or it demons, he hated demons. Everybody hates demons little sis. Yeah they suck right? Big time. Would you two shut up and get back to work, said Luke. Says the drunk, they both said at the same time but still went back to work. Not a single person in the restaurant heard their conversation.

In the back room, or rather in a spacial dimension the size of a town, with hills and a lake, stood a huge building. It was the craftroom, seperated into different sections each one for a different craft.
In a spacious room with beautiful sofas and a glass table lay a young looking man, with bags under his eyes and disheveled hair. He was eating juicy looking peaches and spinning a black coin between his fingers.
The coin melted and information was suddenly written in the air with blue glowing text. He read it for a few seconds. Winter Fang serpent, that a bit troublesome. This young mans name was Fabro, white skin with golden eyes, he was the owner of the restaurant and self proclaimed greatest crafter of all paths and ladies killer.
Let me get a nap, he said talking to himself. As soon as he closed his eyes the door swung open. Get out vile Villian, he said with grimace. Yeah yeah, replied Yamiko, you need to get ready though, you supposed to meet a client in 3 hours.
3 hours? I still have enough time. No you don't, you take too long to shower... Shower? I'm supposed to shower? Yeah what do you think? But I showered yesterday. By the great Gods you are pig. Hey that rude, I'm still your boss. Unfortunately, she said with a sigh.
You also need to craft whatever it is they requested. You can't meet the client empty handed. Apparently, her Grandmaster level grandfather was poisoned while facing off against a rank 4 winter Fang serpent that went berserk in their area.
It it winter Fang serpent venom, it should be quite easy to cure no? She asked with a frown. I guess muted beast are different then. I'm not so sure about that, said Fabro with a distant look.
What do you mean?, asked Yamiko. We'll see, I just hope I'm wrong, he replied.
