They all call me master

In the kitchen, Eivor looked helpless while holding a tea cup.

Has he been sold?

Originally, he planned to get to know his first customer and the only one who really liked his food in a more formal way.

But after being named by Aker, he naturally couldn't ignore it.

'only……

It's a pity.

It’s not easy to meet such a good customer. ’

Filled with a touch of regret, Eivor straightened his clothes and then walked out. After placing the tea with sugar on the table, he looked at Arthur with a smile on his fat face.

"Good evening, Sir Arthur Kratos."

"Good evening, Eivor - I've said it more than once, but your food really sticks in my mind."

Facing Eivor's greeting, Arthur responded with a smile.

"Hahaha, how can there be!

Don't worry, Ms. Caesar's safety is in my hands!

I swear by the name of 'Lord of Shadow Stream'! "

Eivor laughed heartily and began to take care of himself.

Cool!

Comfortable!

It feels so good to be suddenly recognized and praised after being repeatedly not recognized or even disliked by others.

And, most importantly, I finally don’t have to endure it anymore.

You know, after hearing the compliment in the old city, Eivor felt a little regretful that he couldn't hear Arthur's compliment in person, and now?

No longer exists.

All the regrets and regrets that I had just felt no longer existed.

Facing Eivor's laughter, Arthur had already expected it.

Or……

When Eivor followed Akel back, Arthur had some guesses.

Eivor should be worried about Akel.

But Eivor would never refuse praise for his craftsmanship.

In fact, it's easy to confirm this.

Arthur just moved his mouth.

Then, while in the old city, I clearly heard the subtle changes in the other person's breathing.

Then, now you have the other party's commitment.

how to say?

It’s buy one get one free, isn’t it cheap and affordable?

Arthur, who was thinking this in his heart, kept a gentle smile on his face——

“Can I make a suggestion for your food?”

"Of course, you say it!"

Eivor immediately became serious.

When it comes to cooking, this retired assassin is serious.

“Your food is a coveted trial for true warriors, but for ordinary people, the purity is too high, and they simply cannot understand the beauty of it.

Most importantly, they waste this food.

So, I hope you can lower your standards and make some food that the average person can understand.

Then, when you acknowledge him, you go all out to create a true ‘warrior’s meal’. "

Arthur said this.

"Lower standards?

Must I approve you before you can eat my ‘warrior’s meal’? "

Eivor's eyes lit up.

Yes, how can people taste the food that he put all his efforts into?

Only those approved by him are eligible.

remaining people?

Just pay for the leftovers!

Eivor, who was a little unsure about his cooking skills and had even begun to feel inferior, was now more confident than ever.

who is he?

He is the 'Lord of Shadow Stream'!

Among the assassins, he has the best cooking skills.

Among the cooks, he has the best assassination skills.

His Assassin's Creed is: Food comes first!

"Your Excellency Aker, we will probably get up and head to the inner bay after the 'Winter Festival' is completely over - during this time, please adjust your status."

Arthur gave Acker a kind reminder.

Eivor on the side also nodded repeatedly.

"That's right, Akel, if you appear in the inner bay, your senior brother "Blood Shadow Thorn" will never let you go.

The title of 'Lord of Blood' was given to you by your teacher.

He was unwilling to do so back then.

Now?

I'm afraid I'm even more reluctant.

He gained honor, status, prestige, and even trained enough assassins for the Grand Duke.

And you? "

Eivor didn't finish what he said, but Akel understood what the other party meant.

The retired assassin nodded.

And Arthur thought secretly in his heart.

‘To have such a deep connection with the ‘Blood Shadow Thorn’ is really...

Very good! ’

If before, Arthur's expectation for Aker to be by his side was 10%, now it is 100%.

As long as Akel attracts the attention of the Blood Shadow Thorn for a period of time, he will be able to devote himself to something.

Moreover, you can grasp the situation faster.

It doesn't take much.

Just have a point of support.

Arthur thought in his heart, but the gentleness in his expression never changed.

In the conversation that followed for more than half an hour, it never changed.

This was the case until Akel and Eivor left.

After watching the two assassins disappear into the shadows, Arthur returned to the 'Psychic Hall', holding Pendragon in his arms again, whispering to himself.

"Pan, we still have a force available.

Should I be more proactive?

But if I take too much initiative...

Will it scare them away? "

Arthur was talking about 'Amanda's Home for Cat Friends'.

This force is suspected of being a ‘Cat Faction’.

Obviously, if there really is an extra 'Cat Pie' in the 'Inner Bay Trip', the security will be greatly enhanced.

But eventually, Arthur gave up on the idea.

Just like when he talks to himself.

What if I get scared and run away?

Moreover, maybe those former members of the 'Cat Faction' have already settled down and worked in peace and contentment.

In this case, it's better not to bother.

Arthur thought in his heart, raised Pendragon in front of him, and asked directly——

"Pan, are you too soft-hearted to tell me dad?"

…

"What do you think?"

Eivor asked directly as he and Akel walked side by side in the shadows.

No need to name names, Akel also knew what Eivor was asking.

"Can't see through."

Aker answered truthfully.

“Well, it feels like looking into a mirror through fog.

It's not just a disguise, it's not just a mask.

A bit strange. "

Eivor nodded.

Then, the retired assassin's part-time cook added again.

"But he's probably not a bad person."

In this regard, Akel didn't say anything more and just quickened his pace.

His son and daughter are waiting for him.

Eivor didn't stay long either.

His situation is similar, but the difference is that if his wife knew that he disappeared while playing in the middle of the night, she would definitely slap his size 48 face with the soles of her size 38 shoes.

The two retired assassins returned home as quickly as possible.

In the old city, at Aker's house, brother and sister Alvin and Alma immediately gathered around him when they saw Aker returning.

"Father, are you okay?"

Alma asked softly.

"It's okay, everything is over."

Aker said with a smile.

He didn't directly say he was going to find Arthur, he just said he wanted to give some benefits to the police officers.

Alvin and Alma, who live in the old city, naturally understand this.

The brother and sister breathed a sigh of relief.

It's finally over.

"Go to sleep! It's okay!"

Aker said so.

Then, he walked to the bed on one side.

Alvin's bed is also here. The father and son are head-to-head.

As Alma grew up, the inner room became Alma's own room.

Alma stepped into the room and closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

‘It’s finally over!

Unfortunately, all the candies brought back by the brother were trampled to pieces.

next time!

My brother will bring some candy next time!

It will definitely be sweeter than this time! ’

When Alma took off her coat with a little regret and hung it on the wall, the girl subconsciously checked her pockets.

Then--

"Eh?"

A cry of surprise escaped his lips.

"Alma, what's wrong?"

Akel, Alvin and his son opened the door and saw their daughter and sister standing blankly in the room, with a beautifully packaged mint candy in their palms.
