Chapter 451 - Go, Gloria!

Chapter 451 Go, Gloria!

After dinner, it was time for the restaurant to open again. Amy held a blueberry ice cream cone in her hands, and slowly licked it while sitting on a stool behind the counter. Ugly Duckling lay on her lap, and it looked up at Amy’s ice cream while licking its lips.

The introduction of ice cream brought variety to the restaurant’s dessert options. Not only was it quite popular among children, adults were also quickly won over by its cool and delicious flavor. In particular, having an ice cream after eating a spicy grilled fish was like jumping into an icy fjord after bathing in a pit of lava. The sense of satisfaction was simply indescribable.

“I’ll get a blueberry ice cream first, then a medium size medium spicy grilled fish. After that, I’ll finish off with a chocolate ice cream.” Vivian was back again in her baggy male attire, and she took a seat as she gave Yabemiya her order. This was a combination that she had devised after careful consideration. The sweet and sour blueberry ice cream would act as an appetizer, followed by the delicious spicy grilled fish as the main course, with a rich sweet chocolate ice cream to cap off the meal. It was sheer and utter perfection.

“Sure, please wait a moment.” Yabemiya nodded with a smile before turning to attend to the next customer.

Tsk, a man who can make such delicious food really is irresistible to women. Thankfully, I’m no ordinary woman, Vivian thought to herself as she looked at Mag through the kitchen window. Her gaze then fell on Gloria, who was sitting in a corner, and her eyes immediately lit

up.

Eh? When did such a beauty turn up in Chaos City? Vivian was a little surprised. This woman’s features, figure, and disposition were all exquisite. As someone who was constantly paying attention to the Chaos City beauty rankings, Vivian was very sensitive to the emergence of new beauties in the city. The woman that she was looking at was at least worthy of a berth in the top five on the rankings, but she had somehow never heard of nor seen her before.

The woman was sitting rigidly in her seat, and she kept on stealing fleeting glances toward the kitchen before turning away. She kept on repeating those motions over and over, and Vivian found her to be quite amusing.

Looks like not only normal women fall for him, even a beauty like her is unable to resist the allure of his food. The owner seems to be a good man, so he won’t dabble in casual relationships with his customers, right? If he dares to do that, he’ll have to answer to me! Vivian thought to herself.

There are almost no customers visiting the textiles shop, and a lot of stock in the warehouse has already grown mold due to improper maintenance. The customer service attitude of the employees is also very terrible… We can’t even make sure that we’re breaking even at the moment; how can I make the business profitable in a month? Gloria was in a bit of distress as she pondered her situation with furrowed brows. She leaned back in her chair, and sighed to herself. “Even though I’m not really achieving much, I still feel exhausted every day.”

“Here’s your sweet tofu pudding and Yangzhou fried rice.” Yabemiya placed the two dishes in front of Gloria, and smiled as she said, “Our restaurant just released a new product called ice cream today; perhaps you can give it a try. Its sweet and icy flavor can dispel all concerns and worries.”

Gloria wanted to refuse the offer, but her gaze then fell on the ice cream cone in Amy’s hands, and she hesitated momentarily before asking, “Is that ice cream that Little Amy is eating over there?”

“Yes, Amy is currently eating a blueberry ice cream. There are four flavors that you can choose from.” Yabemiya nodded with a smile. She opened the menu for Gloria in a thoughtful gesture, and flipped over to the ice cream page.

Blueberry, chocolate, mocha… and vanilla? Is this made from some sort of fragrant grass? A hint of curiosity welled up in Gloria’s heart. She closed the menu, and turned to Yabemiya with a smile as she said, “Please get me a vanilla ice cream.”

“Sure, please wait a moment.” Yabemiya nodded with a smile before turning to the kitchen. Soon, she re-emerged with a light yellow vanilla ice cream, and handed it to Gloria as she said, “Here’s your vanilla ice cream. Enjoy.”

“Thank you.” Gloria accepted the ice cream with a nod. She then turned her attention to her vanilla ice cream, upon which her eyes lit up.

There was a light brown cone wrapped in a thin paper shell, sitting on top of which were two light yellow balls of what was presumably this ice cream.

It was still autumn, but the two balls appeared to have been made from actual snow. Furthermore, they were both very smooth and fine, emanating an unidentifiable alluring scent, as well as hints of frosty coolness.

So I’m supposed to lick it? Gloria hesitated momentarily before emulating Amy and taking a lick of her ice cream.

The ice cream slowly melted on her tongue, and the fragrant flavor of vanilla wafted throughout her mouth with rich milky undertones. The icy sensation made her tongue go numb for a split second, immediately following which her eyes narrowed unconsciously with bliss from the delectable flavor of the ice cream.

She felt as if she could see a figure in a pristine white chef’s suit walking slowly toward her. There was a warm smile on his handsome face and a look of scorching passion in his eyes. He raised his hand and gently caressed her chin, and she felt as if an electric current were running through her entire body, giving her a sense of entrancement.

“Phew.” Only after a long while did Gloria slowly open her eyes. She looked at her ice cream, then at the busy figure in the kitchen, and she felt as if all of her worries had been instantly wiped away. None of the adversities that she was facing appeared to be as insurmountable as they had seemed a moment ago. At the very least, she could enjoy delicious food here, and look at Mag as he worked in the kitchen. The experience was very soothing for her.

Go, Gloria! You made a promise to yourself, so you can’t give up just because things are a little tough! A faint smile appeared on Gloria’s face as she took another lick of her ice cream. She closed her eyes, and looked on as he approached. Even though it was only her imagination, she was still very content with the imagery that the ice cream evoked in her mind.

The two balls of ice cream were quickly consumed, and she began to devour the crunchy cone, which hadn’t softened from the melting ice cream at all. The cone’s flavor was a delightful combination of milk and eggs, and both the texture and taste were exquisite.

This ice cream is so good! Gloria wore an exuberant smile on her face as she looked at the paper shell in her hand. She looked up at Amy, who was wearing a gorgeous little purple magician robe, and her eyes lit up as a thought occurred to her, Amy’s robes are really adorable. The textiles shop has a lot of excess stock that stagnated for a long time, and it’ll be very difficult to try and sell them as they are. However, if we can make clothes from those textiles, wouldn’t it be easier to sell them? If we make the items of clothing in accordance with the style of clothing that Little Amy wears, they should be very popular. From what I’ve seen, it seems like all of Little Amy’s clothes were made by Mr. Mag.
