Chapter 70: Chapter 70

Meanwhile, Cypher was watching Rex and Remillia getting closer as Rex introduced the menu to Remillia as she chuckles every time Rex makes a joke about it.

’It really hurts my eyes when some guy gets close to Remi.’

"Are their dragon’s breath pancakes delicious?"

"I have a joke for you instead."

"Please stop with the jokes."

"Why did the Dragon’s Breath Pancakes go to therapy?"

Remillia rolled her eyes, "why?"

"Because they were feeling a little ’scorched’ and needed to work through some ’hot’ issues!"

Remillia just rubbed her temples as she irritatingly glared at him.

"Okay, I’ll stop. You have no funny bones in you. I thought that witches liked to laugh."

"Witches only laugh if they hear a really ’funny’ joke. Is your joke even that funny to laugh at?"

Double Kill!

Rex clenched his heart as he dramatically kneeled, "Ooof! Stop it with your rude remarks! You’re hurting me physically and emotionally."

"You’ll get more hurt physically later if you don’t stop that."

Suddenly Cypher went in between us shocking us both.

"Cypher?"

I looked at Rex again who was still shock from what Cypher did, "Why did you do that?"

He just smiled at me before looking at Rex, "I didn’t see you there, sorry." He looked at me again and guided me to an 8 seater dining table.

"Let’s seat here, he was taking too long to find a table."

Rex looked at Cypher unbelievably, he just intentionally pushed him away! Looking at the two of them, they looked like a couple from behind.

’They really suit each other, they’re both meanies.’

~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~

When we all sat down, a waiter with a charming smile and a name tag that read "Axel" approached their table. He approached me since I was the nearest to him.

"Good morning ladies and men..." He stopped when he saw Macaron, "and owl! Welcome to Moonbeam Mornings. I’m Axel, your waiter today. Can I start you off with something to drink? We have a special on our signature Moonflower Waffles today, and I highly recommend them. They’re a fan favorite," Axel said, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.

Remillia, who was already salivating at the thought of waffles, looked up at Axel and grinned. "Ooh, yes, please tell us more about the Moonflower Waffles," she said.

Axel launched into a passionate explanation of the dish, describing the crispy edges and delicate waffles infused with the essence of rare, moon-petaled flowers that added a subtle floral flavor, served with a dollop of sweet and creamy whipped cream and a sprinkle of edible gold dust.

Remillia’s mouth is watering as she gulped and chose to order one for her.She turned to look at the others.

"I’ll have two servings and can you pair it with a drink? Anything’s fine. What about you guys? Have you already chosen your dish?"

They were busy trying to choose from the menu when Rex conversed with the waiter, "I’d like to try another dish since I’ve already tasted Moonflower Waffles. Can you recommend me some?"

Alex happily recommended some of the restaurant’s signature dishes.

"Let me tell you about out popular dishes. We have a hearty breakfast burrito filled with scrambled eggs, chorizo, and crispy hash browns or you could also try one of our signature Stardust Scramble, a fluffy scramble of eggs infused with the essence of stardust and topped with crispy prosciutto, microgreens, and a drizzle of truffle oil. And if you’re in the mood for something sweet, our Cinnamon Galaxy French Toast is a crowd-peaser."

"I’ll have a burrito."

Whitney spoke up next, "I’ll take the Stardust Scramble and Solar Flare Smoothie."

Angela cheerfully spoke, "I want to try your Dragon’s Breath Pancakes and a glass of water."

The rest ordered up one by one.

As they waited for their food to arrive, they chatted and laughed, enjoying the lively atmosphere of the restaurant.

When their food arrived, Remillia took her first bite and closed her eyes in delight. The waffle was everything Axel had promised – crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, with just the right amount of sweetness and subtle floral flavor from the moonflowers.

I quickly finished my plate without realizing it.

’I’m still hungry though.’

She looked at Macaron’s plate, it was half full. She leaned and whispered to him, "Macaron, you gonna finish that or not."

<Of course, I’m gonna finish it! I’m taking it slowly to savor the flavor.>

"Can I have one bite?"

<No. Order your own.>

’Why this greedy little bird.’

I gulped down as I looked at the others who were still eating. I sighed as I took a sip from my drink.

I looked at Cypher who was sitting beside me, then I turned to look at his ice cream dessert.

"Cypher, can I have your ice cream, please?"

"Yes but-"

"Thanks!"

Remillia quickly grabbed his ice cream and took a spoonful before gulping it down fearing that Cypher would regret giving it to her. She instantly regretted it as it caused her brain freeze.

"Aaargh! I’m having brain freeze! Hot! I need something hot!"

She sharply inhaled while massaging her forehead. She quickly looked around and saw Cypher’s Americano and gulped it down.

Cypher who was watching her, laughed at her reaction. He was supposed to say that she should use another spoon since the spoon she used was already used by him and the same goes for his coffee. He decided not to tell it to her anymore although his ears was blushing thinking about their indirect kiss.

’Why is she so cute?’

"Why would you even eat that ice cream so quickly?"

"Well... I thought you would regret it later so I did that."

Cypher chuckled while staring at her lovingly. Remillia who, didn’t notice this just ate the ice cream while scrolling through her phone.

"Remi, you want some of my crepe?"

"What kind of crepe?"

"Strawberry matcha crepe."

Remi who was still busy scrolling down through her phone, unconsciously opened her mouth to Cypher, gesturing him to feed her.

Cypher who was shocked about her sudden reaction, quickly obliged afraid that Remi would notice her strange reaction.

"How is it?"

Remillia looked at him excitingly, her eyes sparkling, "the matcha and strawberry flavors melded together in perfect harmony, creating a taste experience that was both familiar and exotic!"

Cypher chuckled at her reaction and held up his spoon filled with crepe, "have some more."

Remillia gladly took a bite.

"Mmmm. This is the best!"

Cypher also took a bite. He couldn’t take his eyes off at Remillia, he’s waiting when will she open her mouth again.

’I didn’t know she has this adorable side of her.’

~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~

Rex was suspiciously watching them from the start.

The Cypher I know or rather used to know, wasn’t like that. He’s kind to everyone but not to this extent! Just by watching his actions towards that witch gave him the creeps!

He looked at the others, the four people seemed to have their own worlds. As usual, Edge would only be a talkative when he’s infront of Angela. Whitney was busy trying to catch Edge’s attention then Christian would say something to Whitney, the latter would then glare at him while he would laugh at her reaction.

’Why does it seem like they’re all flirting in his eyes?’ He then noticed something, ’wait, we’re only seven here and the rest of them seemed to have perfectly paired up together. Then that means...’

He jealously watched them, ’this is so unfair! Where’s my partner huh?! Why am I alone with these three annoying couples?’

Hoot! Hoot!

He looked at Macaron. He was also staring at him. It seems that he can also sense the atmosphere.

"It’s so unfair right? We’re the only ones here who doesn’t have a partner."

Hoot! Hoot-hoot! <Don’t include me with your loveless life!>

"Soon, we’ll also have our partners."

Hoot! Hoot! <Excuse me but I’m contented with my master’s side!>

"Yes, I know. Should we just date instead?"

Hoot! Hoot! Hoot! Hoot! <Didn’t master already said my that I’m a male, you fool!>

Macaron who was finally annoyed, used his wing to slap Rex’s mouth.

Paak!

"Unbelievable! Don’t tell me you also have a partner? How dare an owl like you have a partner first than me?"

Hoot-hoot! <I’ve had enough!>

Macaron flew on top of his head and pulled Rex’s hair while shaking him.

"AAAAH! Witch, tell your owl to stop!"

The rest of them were shocked as they watched the two having a fight.

"Macaron, stop that."

Upon hearing his master’s words. He immediately stop as he flew towards Remillia’s shoulder.

Rex’s hair looked likes a bird’s nest, pointed angrily at Macaron, "you won’t get away with this!"

Whitney can’t help but laugh upon looking at his face, "what did you do anyway?"

Rex tried to explain but in the end shut his mouth as he would only look crazy to them, "w-well that’s between us! Right, Macaron?" He glared at Macaron to agree with him.

Macaron only flicked his head on the side, ignoring him completely.

"Have you gone crazy? Why are you fighting Macaron?"

Rex abruptly stood up to avoid more questions as he hurriedly said, "let’s go already! I’ll pay for your treat!"
