Interstellar Era of Gossip

Chapter 20 [Eating Together]

 There is a wide variety of food.

　　The restaurant is located on a busy old street outside Sunset Volcano.

　　The Old Street is well-known online, but it is located in a remote area. Many tourists who dislike the high prices in the scenic area and have done research on the surrounding food will eventually choose to walk half an hour to the Old Street for consumption.

　　Xerxes was a little surprised when he learned about the restaurant's affordable positioning.

　　Nalun caught his emotional changes and taught him: "Food is about taste, not the store and price."

　　Xerxes was noncommittal.

　　What he said was not wrong, but when it came from the mouth of someone who had a picky aura, there was always a sense of subtlety.

　　Speaking of food, the prince, who had been on tenterhooks for a long time, was already starving. He glanced at the speedometer in front of Xerxes and frowned, "A bit slow."

　　The car is in automatic start mode, the route and speed have been set, and both of them are now leaning back in their chairs, relaxing.

　　Xerxes: "Which gear are you used to? I can do either."

　　So Nalun leaned out half of his body, stretched out his finger to poke the setting panel, and increased the speed by two gears. After clicking to confirm, the car rushed out.

　　"It's worthy of being the latest R-class sports car. It's really fast." Nalun's expression was very reserved: "There are several more speeds. Do you mind if I try it?"

　　Xerxes was sympathetic: "Of course, we can even switch positions."

　　The two did not change seats. Nalun leaned sideways and poked his fingers several times quickly. When the last hurdle started, the whole car trembled for three seconds, and then rushed forward at the speed of a roller coaster dive.

　　Xerxes: "..."

　　The gray-green eyes seemed to glow.

　　So the journey that was originally scheduled for half an hour was completed in just eight minutes.

　　Nalun got off the car with satisfaction and led Xerxes into the box reserved with the terminal.

　　The dim yellow light shone into the two-seater box, and soothing light music flowed gently. Nalun took the menu from the waiter, ordered, and handed it back to him. When the waiter left, only he and Xerxes were left sitting opposite each other in the box.

　　Nalun hesitated and started the conversation: "Are all those soldiers on Langton Street there to guard against bugs?"

　　Xerxes: "He is a bug star."

　　Even if they are insects, there is no need to mobilize the army to watch over them.

　　Seemingly understanding his doubts, Xerxes said, "It was also the Insect Star people who stole the scepter."

　　Nalun digested the information and understood instantly: "You suspect the scepter was stolen by the gold-eating bug?"

　　Xerxes shook his head: "It's not stealing, it's robbery. Your Majesty has fought with others, but fortunately he was not injured."

　　Nalun: "..."

　　He couldn't imagine what it would be like when Xi Jin fought with His Majesty the Emperor.

　　However, he still vividly remembered the scene of Higgin fighting with Xerxes - it seemed that apart from running fast on eight legs, there was nothing else remarkable. If good acting skills were considered a plus, then Higgin's fighting ability would be six points.
