บท 16: The Seventh Floor

The seventh floor of the 'Heavenly Pavilion' restaurant which changes its theme every month this time has the theme 'Above the Clouds' with soft fog blanketing the floor and beautiful melodies that complement the interior as if to bring them in a different world.

Aizen and his two girls who wanted to have dinner with the best service without interruption had reserved the entire seventh floor even though the floor had five quarters with separate private rooms.

"Welcome to the seventh floor of the 'Heavenly Pavilion' Mr. Aizen. Our theme this month is 'Above the Clouds' which will bring you to an extraordinary experience. Introduce this old man is named Darius, Manager of this 'Heavenly Pavilion'." An old man with a muscular body dressed as a servant bowed slightly and greeted the three of them in a polite voice.

Darius had just been informed by the receptionist while he was in his office that a customer was making reservations for the entire seventh floor with the status of a nobleman at [SS Rating]. Someone of the same level from the head of the Stanford family, the family he is serving. Knowing this, he immediately rushed to welcome them and ensure the best service from the restaurant that was his responsibility to this unusual customer.

"How polite of you, Mr. Darius."

"Sincerely, Mr. Aizen. Let me guide you and the two ladies to your quarter."

The three of them sat in the middle quarter with a sitting position facing each other at a round table, Darius who was about to offer their best service and dishes stopped seeing Aizen raise his hand as if to order him to be quiet.

"I know what you will offer Mr. Darius, but give us a surprise. We will not choose any dish. So give us an appetizer, a main dish, and a dessert of your best dish." Aizen who knows the number of menu choices available does not try to choose from the list that will be offered by Mr. Darius and prefers the best choice from the manager of this restaurant.

"Then I will excuse myself. Your dishes will be served soon." Darius bowed slightly and hurried away.

"Daddy, why don't we choose anything from the menu?" Seeing Darius leave their quarter, Ana, who is sitting on Aizen's right side is confused as to why they gave the choice to the servant.

"Hehe... Instead of ordering from a name we don't know yet. I want you to get a surprise from what dishes will be served." Aizen answered with a smile on his face before continuing.

"Let me serve a glass of 'Wine' for you." Aizen pours elegantly what looks like a bottle of 'Wine' on the table to the three glass and serves it while waiting for Darius to bring their appetizer.

Ana and Axel just nodded, understanding that the surprise about what they would present to them was not bad.

Their superior bodies at this time actually did not feel hungry as long as they had enough [Axel Energy], even their bodies did not produce waste substances such as impurities because the energy in their bodies would burn the rest of such useless substances. What they are doing right now is just spoiling their tongues.

Shortly after Aizen served a glass of 'Wine' to each of them, Darius comes back to bring them their best dishes with a board that looks like a trolley.

Meanwhile, on the first floor of the reception lobby, there was a slight problem.

"Please reserve a quarter on the seventh floor for us." A white-haired, blue-eyed girl came to the reception with some of her friends.

"I'm sorry, Miss Eileen but the entire seventh floor has been reserved." The receptionist woman seemed to be having a hard time. A while ago the highest level nobleman she had ever met ordered the entire seventh floor, and now the noble daughter of the Stanford family who owned this restaurant had come to reserve a quarter on the same floor.

"What!? Who wastefully reserved the entire seventh floor!? Can't they leave a quarter for us!" The woman with blonde hair tied in a ponytail and green-eyed screamed hysterically.

"Don't be like that Rachel, if they can reserve the entire seventh floor then they have enough power to do it." Eileen persuaded one of her good friends to think logically and try to reserve on the sixth floor, but she was prevented by another friend.

"At most, they are just spoiled second-generation aristocrats who have never touched a war zone! Come to the seventh floor, surely Uncle Darius will understand!" A light blue-haired man refuted Eileen and immediately rushed to the seventh floor with his two brothers in arms who only followed them here because they were invited to have dinner at the best restaurant in Stanford City.

"Don't be reckless, Alfred!" Eileen chased after them and was followed by Rachel who came later.

Seeing the five of them headed straight to the seventh floor and seemed to be disturbing the customers who were already there with Mr. Darius on the seventh floor, the receptionist woman panicked and immediately informed Mr. Darius.

"Mr. Manager! Miss Eileen and her four friends want to reserve the quarter on the seventh floor, but after I tell them the entire floor has been reserved, they immediately rush there!"

"*sigh* Little Eileen and her friends came at the wrong time. Let me handle it." Darius sighed at this news and immediately thought of the best solution. On the one hand, it is noble with the highest level and on the other hand, is the daughter of the family's successor to the owner of this restaurant.

The five of them reached the seventh floor, there stood Darius with a serious face as if waiting for their arrival.

"Good evening miss Eileen, sorry for my impudence but haven't you been told that the entire seventh floor has been reserved? If you still want to reserve on this floor, you can wait a while until the previous customer is finished." Darius questioned their presence in a firm voice but still maintained his politeness.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Darius. But Alfred immediately rushed over." Eileen seemed to feel guilty.

"What did you say, Uncle Darius. Aren't we all at [S Rating] level and that is enough to reserve on this floor? Look, there are still four quarters still empty!" Alfred did not want to back down and pointed to the empty quarters, but did not want to feel arrogant because the old man before him was also at [S Rating].

"Uncle Darius, can you give us some leeway and talk to those who have reserved the entire seventh floor? Look, they only use one quarter... I have been looking forward to what the dishes on the seventh floor in the best restaurant in my best friend's family. Pretty please..." Rachel persuaded Darius with a look of hope on her face.

"*sigh* Then wait a moment." Darius sighed once more and hurriedly go to the middle quarter to ask Aizen for permission. If he refused, Darius couldn't do anything other than asking Eileen and her friends to wait for a while or go to the sixth floor.

*KNOCK* *KNOCK*

"Mr. Aizen, sorry for the intrusion. But I have a little problem here. There are those who insist on wanting to reserve one of the quarters on this floor. Even though you have reserved the entire floor, can you allow them to use one of these quarters?" Darius bowed slightly with an awkward face.

"How unprofessional of you, Mr. Darius. But this is not right, I have reserved the entire seventh floor to avoid disturbance, but this is still happening..." Aizen replied casually while wiping Ana's lips with a tissue that made her giggles.

"I'm really sorry about this."

"Very well. I am not an unreasonable person. If you are in a difficult situation, I will allow them to use one quarter as long as they do not bother us. You better compensate me for my generosity, Mr. Darius." Darius who hears Aizen's relaxed response didn't dare to take him lightly and thank him before excuse himself.

When Darius returned and found the five of them who were supposed to wait for him already occupied a quarter, he could only shake his head and come to them.

"It's a good thing they let you use one of the quarters on this floor even though he already made reservations for the entire seventh floor, otherwise you will be in trouble just from your behavior."

Little did he know, the problems he would encounter on this same day did not just end here.
