Episode 234 Chapter 49: Witch(1)

Witch (1)

Ding-dong-dang!

As the bell signaling the end of the boring class and the start of evening rang, the students scattered towards their respective destinations.

Some would head to the cafeteria to eat with friends, others might go out, and some would skip dinner and head straight to night study.

Eisel usually enjoyed meals with her friends.

Despite being crazy about studying, she never skipped meals. Previously, she couldn't eat due to lack of money, but now that she could afford it, she believed in maintaining her health.

Eisel was meticulous in self-care, managing her stamina with regular exercise, keeping a strict schedule, and enjoying healthy food.

"Eisel! Do you want to eat out today?"

"...What?"

Even someone like her had two weaknesses, one of which was the requests of her close friend, Marilen, whom she had grown close to at Stella.

"Ta-da!"

Marilen held up a flyer with both hands. It looked rather crude to be officially made.

"It's the 'Witch's Restaurant.' You've heard of it, right? It's super famous around here these days."

"Oh... I think I've heard of it."

She recalled overhearing students talk about it in passing.

"This Witch's Restaurant is a bit strange; you can't find it by looking for it normally."

"What do you mean?"

"Literally. No matter how thoroughly you search Arcanium, you won't find a place called the Witch's Restaurant."

"Then how do people eat there?"

"Well, this is the weird part. If you wander around the student streets of Arcanium around dusk, the Witch's Restaurant suddenly appears. There are tons of firsthand accounts of people who have actually eaten there."

"...That sounds like a ghost story."

"No, do you know Chaili from Class C? She said she ate there too. So, do you want to go out this evening and try to find it?"

"Hmm..."

Teenagers' interests often explode in peculiar ways, leading to strange trends.

The Witch's Restaurant.

Though it didn't pique her interest much, Eisel nodded since she didn't have anything else planned for the evening.

Originally, dining out was a luxury she couldn't afford, but recently, she had a bit more financial freedom, and she had found a way to reclaim some of her father's assets, so it wasn't a big deal.

"Okay. I'll go with you."

"Knew you would!"

"What kind of menu do they have there?"

"From what I've heard, they offer a wide variety of dishes. It's said there's nothing they don't have."

Typically, a famous restaurant gains notoriety for a few similar dishes, but the Witch's Restaurant was unique in that it offered a diverse menu while still receiving praise for all its food.

"Great. Let's go!"

So, Eisel, along with Marilen and four other friends, set out together.

The streets were filled with teenagers, all holding a flyer in their hands, seemingly searching for the Witch's Restaurant.
