Parallel Memory

"Don't Elves learn any basic ethics? Why are you all so bad at everything? Your inn looks crappy, your bed is small and hard."

William's friend started complaining again.

"What are you saying? If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it. Why are you disturbing everyone?"

Sylvia said. Along with there was some other who couldn't tolerate William's friend and shouted at him. They all told him to keep quiet.

"Humph! You all poor people might be satisfied with such crappy service but I am not."

He said, not scared of offending the geniuses at all. He was protected by a Rank-S bodyguard hired by his family along with the bodyguards from his friends.

Of course, when he said that he was referring to others who were yelling at him rather than Sylvia who has a bigger background than him.

"Mrs Sylvia, try to understand it. I am doing this for all of us. If we don't say it now, they are going to treat us like dirt. There should be a standard for how they treat us."

Lucus supported his friend. He made it seem like they are doing this for all of them. Although this didn't convince many of them, some of them were swayed by his words.

After all, yesterday, seemingly a guard disrespected them. Although they don't complain about the inn, they do agree that they were geniuses that needed to be respected.

"Even if they don't eat meat, they should prepare one for us. We were invited by them. How could they expect to establish a good relationship with us if this is how they treat us."

He continued. His statement further increased the anger of Elves and also Sylvia and her group.

They could see that they are just trying to create trouble for Elves working at the inn.

With Lucus' support, he felt more confident as he continued his rant.

"Sit down and keep quiet! You are disturbing everyone!"

A voice interfered with William's friend and Lucus. He was irritated by the one who dared to command him. He tried to tolerate it once but he was not willing to do it the second time.

"Who do you think-"

He wanted to argue and fight with the one who was ordering him but when he turned to the direction of the voice, his eyes widened and he became quiet.

Of course he couldn't argue and fight with him. He was Zero, the one who beat even William until his face swell.

In comparison to William, he was weaker and had a less powerful background. If he argued with Zero, wouldn't he get killed or so he thought.

Lucus also doesn't have any intention of going against Zero. One slap was enough to tell whether he should provoke him or not.

Even William didn't help them. Not because he was scared, well he was a bit scared after that beating but that was not the reason, he thought that it was not the time for his revenge.

The whole room went silent after this. They don't know what happened but knew that for William's group to be scared of Zero, there would be a big reason.

It was not everyday that you see those spoiled young masters be quiet after someone warned them like this. Not even adults like Nock could fully convince them like this.

They didn't know about the incident of Zero beating up William and Lucus and were surprised that such a young boy could scare them.

It was especially for Orion and his friends. They had met with him once and didn't think much of him but looking at the attitude of William and his friend, they understood that Zero was far from a normal person.

"Who is he? Why is William and his friend so scared?"

"Is he the child of The Authority commander? But even that wouldn't explain their reaction."

"Shh. Don't speak loudly. What if he hears you?" …

The geniuses discussed among themselves after such a turn of events. They would occasionally glance at his direction. They thought that Ice Enchantress and Saintess being with him was weird but now that thought that maybe he is someone special.

Even the Rank-S geniuses couldn't help but be curious about him. Usually they wouldn't care about anyone else unless they are at their level but this incident had managed to attract their attention.

Zero didn't care and continued eating his food.

He was not thinking of interfering but they were making such a commotion in the middle of his eating that he had to yell at them. What he dislikes is someone disturbing his eating, especially when eating something so delicious.

William's friends were complaining about not having meat but Zero liked vegetables more than meat. For him, meats are just emergency food that he would need to eat when on a long journey.

Rather than that he likes good stew made of potato and other vegetables. And the vegetables used by Elves were extraordinary and more rich in taste than in Human Domain.

He was thoroughly enjoying the food when someone had to complain and disturb. Not only disturb his breakfast time but also insult the food he liked.

But he didn't think that his one statement would make the atmosphere so weird. Anyways, it was peaceful, so he continued to eat without giving a damn.

Others also settled down seeing that Zero was just eating. William's groups also quietly ate their food, much to the relief of the Elves.

Unlike the guards, they were normal citizens of the Elven Nation without any combat power. They wouldn't be able to defend themselves if Williams or any other person there attacked them.

Mia and Amelia looked at Zero in surprise. He would usually try to not stand out but was surprised with his outburst.

Before that he was happily eating the food.

( Does he likes the food so much? )

Mia thought to herself.

( Maybe I should learn to cook? )

Mia thought. They had to stay here for quite a while, so she was planning to learn their cooking method before leaving.

Amelia also understood that Zero liked the Elven dish. Although she didn't know how to cook at all, she was willing to learn.

"The way to a man's heart is through his stomach."
