The man opened his mouth, his Adam’s apple bobbing twice, but in the end, he didn’t refuse again.
As he turned to busy himself with preparing the meal, he kept muttering to himself:
Noble ladies nowadays are really generous.
I’ve run this shop all my life and have never seen anyone buy a burger with a gold coin.
If I tell my wife when I go back tonight, she’ll definitely think I’ve been drinking.
On the other side.
Theresia didn’t pay any more attention to the shopkeeper and found an empty seat by the window.
She sat down, propping her cheek with one hand, and quietly looked at the crowd coming and going outside the window:
“No matter how many times I see it, it feels like watching a fantasy blockbuster.”
Honestly speaking, the coming and going on the streets of the Royal Capital was a scene she would never see in her original world.
There were demi-human travelers carrying packs, cat ears and dog ears appearing and disappearing among the crowd, and Earth Dragons slowly pulling carriages past.
There were children chasing pigeons by the fountain, their laughter audible even through the glass.
“The life scenes in this other world are actually quite harmonious.”
Theresia rested her chin on her hand, looking at the peaceful scene outside the window, silently sighing in her heart.
Perhaps because it’s the capital of the Dragon-friendly Kingdom, the Knights Order patrols eight hundred times a day; it’s relatively difficult for outlaws to cause trouble here.
But having said that, even in the safest places, there are blind spots.
The stone roads in the noble district are polished enough to reflect one’s image, yet people are still starving in the alleys of the Slums.
The same Royal Capital, different worlds.
If she remembered correctly, that guy Natsuki Subaru, in one of his loops, was surrounded and beaten by three thugs in an alley in the Royal Capital and stabbed to death.
Three thugs, one small knife, one dark alley—that was enough to take the first blood of the otherworld traveler Natsuki Subaru.
There’s no helping it; no matter how safe the Royal Capital is, it can’t stop you from being the protagonist and triggering side quests everywhere.
Thinking of this, Theresia raised her slender fingers and slowly stroked her smooth, delicate chin, saying thoughtfully,
“Could he be talking about that unlucky guy Natsuki Subaru…”
Just like that.
She waited for about two and a half minutes.
The shopkeeper brought over a large tray.
The things on the tray were piled up like a small mountain.
The bread of the two double burgers was toasted golden brown, sprinkled with white sesame seeds, and sandwiched between them were thick meat patties, melted cheese slices, bright green lettuce leaves, and bright red tomato slices.
Dark sauce slowly flowed down the side, emitting a rich meaty aroma and the smell of spices.
The potato wedges were fried golden and crispy, each piece as thick as a thumb, sprinkled with large grains of sea salt and red spice powder.
The honey lemon drink was served in a transparent glass, with a layer of fine water droplets condensing on the glass wall.
“Please enjoy!” The man put down the tray with a smile and said to Theresia, “I added quite a few extra potato wedges; take your time, miss.”
“Thank you.”
Theresia looked at the pile of food in front of her, reached out and grabbed a burger, opened her mouth wide, and took a bite.
“Mmm…”
The crispy and soft bread, wrapped around the rich filling, entered her throat, and her bright blue pupils suddenly lit up.
The bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a faint aroma of butter.
The meat patty was pan-fried just right, with a crispy outer shell, but it was so tender inside that it could squeeze out meat juices.
The melted cheese pulled into long strings, and the sauce was the kind that was sweet with a hint of spice; the layers were so rich it made one want to applaud.
“Delicious… so delicious!” Theresia’s mouth was stuffed full, and she exclaimed vaguely, New chapters come out on g.com first.
“A burger of this level, if put in my original world, could definitely rub those chain burger joints into the ground. The essence of a two-hundred-year-old shop is indeed no joke.”
Theresia wolfed down the first burger, not having any lady-like appearance at all.
Several guests at neighboring tables would sneak glances over here from time to time, their gazes first landing on her excessively beautiful face for a moment.
Then, seeing her ravenous way of eating, their expressions suddenly became subtle.
It was likely that everyone was secretly muttering to themselves that such a stunning red-haired beauty was so unconstrained when eating; the contrast was just too great.
“Gulp…”
Theresia didn’t pay any attention to the judging gazes of others at all; she casually picked up the glass, tilted her head back, and took a big gulp of the honey lemon drink.
The cold, sweet, and sour liquid slid down her throat, instantly washing away the greasy meat taste, and she felt comfortable all over.
“Refreshing!”
Theresia put down the glass and satisfiedly narrowed her bright blue eyes.
This is what life in another world should be like.
Like that miserable life Natsuki Subaru leads.
Dying over and over, looping and looping, tortured to death, and constantly on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Being bitten by magical beasts, slashed by hunters, squeezed to death by a Sin Archbishop; every time he died, his psychological trauma expanded, and his sanity plummeted.
That kind of transmigration, even a dog wouldn’t want it.
I have to say, the transmigration script Natsuki Subaru got is probably the hell-difficulty version of otherworld transmigration.
It really is the epitome of pitiful—truly pathetic to the core.
While Theresia was thinking about these random things and was about to start her second round of eating, her expression suddenly changed:
“Hmm?”
The shop door was pushed open from the outside.
