He saw that he was already preparing more and more food. Obviously, he was expecting a lot more customers soon.
"It's indeed an alert that there're mobs in sight," he said, leisurely adding menus on the tables next to them. "Don't worry though, since it was only one bell, it means it's not that urgent."
