-Later that Evening-

Before the group knew it, it had been too late to return to the Black Bulls Base. Most of them had been tired after their otherwise long and well---Amusing day. They were about to check into an inn, though Rebecca had a proposal for them.

Once they all agreed to it, they found themselves at her restaurant, where it had been just as busy as the Dreavy Hinker. Probably even busier and not to mention livery.

Most of the group had been running left and right handing out orders to the customers. It really helped them distract them after what had happened today.

"Phew--" Carver said, as he stretched a little, "--I haven't been working this hard since those chores Zeid gave us back home."

Saorise wiped the sweat off of her brow, "Bime i elena there's so many people!" She shook out her hands, "I can't feel my fingers anymore!"

Asta had been running around left and right before he stopped; he had a mop in hand as they could see that floor had been sparkling clean. "Phew! Done!"

"Okay, I know you cheated Dum-Dum!" Feodora said as she had a mop as well, "Don't act like you didn't!"

"No way, I won that fair and square!" Asta proclaimed.

"At least those two seem to be energetic." Brenin said as he had been washing the dishes.

"They really are competitive when it comes to this kind of stuff." Avalon said as she had been cleaning the table with Conor's, Karasu, and Sachikos help.

"Least they're keeping busy." Conor said.

Rebecca soon came from storage as Alistar had been rolling in what looked to be a whole barrel of wine. "Whoa--Everything looks like it's brand new." Rebecca said, "I appreciate all of your help."

"It's no trouble." Saorise said, "It's the least we could do since we're spending the night!"

"We would've helped out, even if you didn't make that proposal." Karasu said.

"It's true." Sachiko added, "So think nothing of it."

"Do you need anything else done around here?" Carver asked.

Rebecca shook her head, "No that's alright. You've all done more than enough. With all of your hard work, you all deserve one of my specialties."

The group had a look of awe, before they found themselves staring at a feast she had prepared. It had been but a second later they had all started to help themselves.

"Whoa!" Asta said as his eyes sparkled, "This is so good!"

"Isn't it?" One of Rebecca's siblings said.

"Gods---This is delicious!" Karasu said with awe, "You made this yourself?"

"They're mostly old family recipes." Rebecca said.

"This is so buttery yet not too buttery!" Avalon said, "You really know what you're doing!"

"Thank you for the food Miss Scarlet!" Sachiko said.

"You're very welcome." Rebecca said, "Help yourself as much as you like."

"Here girl--" One of Rebecca's eldest siblings said as she handed Nero a plate of fruit, "--Would you like some moguro fruit?" The moment she placed the fruit down on the table, Nero ate it all up at an alarming pace.

"Whoa---" Avalon said before scratching Nero's head, "--You must've been as hungry as we are, huh little girl?"

"Even birds have an appetite the size of a moose." Liam said. He let out a yipe when Nero pecked his finger. She ended up glaring at Liam to which he stuck out his tongue towards the little bird.
