Chapter 16 - Chapter 16 The Witch's Restaurant

They sit on the bench, talking about first work experience.

Lunar: First work experience, it is a journey of growth from the dependent state to the independent state; it is an experience of life with complain of working overtime, sorrow of getting yelled, and delight of earning first wage; it is an unforgettable memory with some unforgettable people and things.

Solar: My first work experience, it was working at the restaurant in the capital; in the kitchen, I witnessed how bittersweet was the chef's life; in the dining hall, I witnessed one thousand faces of customers, which were one thousand faces of the outside world.

Lunar: What did you learn from your first work experience?

Solar: I learned about the cold, knowing it's cold outside in capital's winter, and it's the colder inside restaurant where nobody would comfort me; I learned about the warm, knowing it's warm in the kitchen, and the warmer was people's kindness, care and love, which remain as warm as the years before; I learned about life, knowing it's sorrowful to work overtime, but it's delighted to gain my first wage.

Lunar: First work experience was too important to forget. It's been five hundred years, but each time I recall, as if it were just yesterday.

Solar: May I know how was your first work experience?

Lunar: It was delighted, most of time, yet sometimes sad.

Solar: What kind of job did you do?

Lunar: Potioneer.

Solar: It must be fantastic to work on which job you like.

Lunar: I was delighted.

Solar: Where did you work at?

Lunar: I was also working at a restaurant.

Solar: A restaurant?

Lunar: It was not a muggle restaurant, but it was the Witch's Restaurant outside the Magic Forest, where adventurers often visited.

Solar: The Witch's Restaurant, Magic Forest, and adventurers, they group a picture of one piece of the magic world. I can imagine the adventurers sat at the table, talking about their adventure stories; I can imagine the magic beasts hid in the Magic Forest, shaking tree branches by roaring; I can imagine you dressed like a witch in magic robe, brewing magic potions, peddling to adventurers.

Lunar: Once upon a time, five hundred years ago, when the first semester was over, the winter vacation was beginning. I might be a princess in the muggle world, but I was just a freshman in the magic world. I knew nobody to contact, except for my teachers. I turned for my magic potion teacher, and received her recommendation letter.

Solar: Why would you turn for your magic potion teacher?

Lunar: I turned for her, because I was recognized as the magic potion princess in her magic potion class; I turned for her, because she was a patient and nice teacher, who appreciated my talent on brewing magic potion; I turned for her, because I wondered where I could have a winter vacation job.

Solar: Where did she recommend you to work at.

Lunar: The Witch's Restaurant.

Solar: How beautiful was the restaurant?

Lunar: It was not a beautiful restaurant, but it was the only one restaurant fifty miles around. It was just a small wooden restaurant, ran by a magic couple. The witch once was my magic potion teacher's student.

Solar: What did you know about them?

Lunar: An ordinary couple who left big city, and found a quiet life at the restaurant.

Solar: What kind of person the wizard was?

Lunar: The wizard, who was a chef, a bartender and a restaurant boss at the restaurant, he once was a great adventurer. He held with a firing ambition of being a recognized adventurer, practising his magic combat skills with magic beasts in the Magic Forest.

Solar: How was his ending?

Lunar: He defeated most of magic beasts, but got defeated by an ancient magic beast. He was defeated, but he was recognized as the strongest adventurer among them and the superhero who survived through the ancient magic beast.

Solar: How could he survive through the ancient magic beast?

Lunar: He survived, because the ancient magic beast was sealed in the Magic Forest, not capable of leaving the forest; he survived, because he knew magic combat skills, avoiding the fatal attacks to his head and heart; he survived, because he was brought out of the Magic Forest by a young lady.

Solar: Who was the young lady?

Lunar: His lady.

Solar: What kind of person the witch was?

Lunar: The witch, who was a waitress, a potioneer, and a boss lady at the restaurant, she once was a legendary heist.

Solar: A legendary heist?

Lunar: She was known as the heist, who heisted the Light Church Clock.

Solar: What was the Light Church Clock?

Lunar: A massive clock that was supposedly hanging on the Light Church.

Solar: How massive was the clock that we are talking about?

Lunar: As massive as dragon's seize.

Solar: What? A clock, which was as massive as dragon's seize. How could she heist this massive clock from the Light Church?

Lunar: Reduction Magic Spell. She did Reduction Magic Spell on the massive clock, reduced the clock from dragon's seize into normal clock's seize, and heisted it away.

Solar: How was her ending?

Lunar: She was running and hiding from the Light Church in the Dark side's territory, until she sold the Light Church Clock to the Dark Church, and exchanged for political protection and her business starting money. In her runaway journey, she encountered the unconscious injured wizard, and brought him out of the Magic Forest.

Solar: What happened next?

Lunar: She opened the Witch's Restaurant with her business starting money, running her business on her own, until he woke up from coma, and helped with restaurant's business in return for the saviour's favor.

Solar: How could you know them so well?

Lunar: I can read people's minds, except for you.

Solar: Did you read their minds?

Lunar: Yeah sometimes. Besides, what I heard about most at the Witch's Restaurant, was what adventurers talked about. He, who survived through the ancient magic beast, would be a hot topic. Another hot topic was her, who heisted the Light Church Clock.
