"You're back," Garth said when he saw me coming down the stairs. The cat was on his lap, and he'd become good friends with it.
"Yeah, let's go. It's almost lunch. We'll go to a cafe, I know."
"Oh, okay. What did you get." The necklace was hidden in my shirt. I pulled it out and showed it to him. "Oh, ah... It's pretty." This idiot had no idea how valuable this thing was. I shook my head and ignored him.
"Thanks again, then we'll be heading off," I told the friendly witch.
"No, no, thank you for finding my cat." She said with a gentle smile.
I had a lot of questions, but that didn't matter.
We left the witch's residence and took a rickshaw to the cafe I've been meaning to go to ever since I came to the capital. It was the quest I planned to do first in the capital.
The rickshaw driver stopped in front of the poor-looking cafe.
"This?" My butler, Garth, immediately seemed to look down on the cafe. "I think the inn would be better than this master."
"Come on, they have good food." Technically I had no idea since I had only eaten their food in the game.
In the game, I had run into this quest while doing another quest. The other quest turned out to have a horrible reward, but thankfully I found this quest. For that quest, I came into this cafe regularly each day. After spending a few days in this cafe, the waiter, a young man, opened up about his sick mother.
Making the cure, the first time around, was a long process. Finding the recipe, the ingredients, etc. But I've already done all that. Now I just needed to become friendly enough with the waiter so he'd open up about his sick mother.
I walked into the cafe and took a seat.
Garth complained some more. "It looks just as bad on the inside. My chair wobbles."
"Will you shut up," I told him.
The beautiful young man came to us and asked what we wanted. I looked up at his tall blond hair, purple eyes, and sad face. He's sad because of his sick mother. He's been working like a good son to support her.
"What would you recommend for lunch?" I asked.
"We have sandwiches, burgers, salad, wrap-"
"Give me a Reuben Sandwich." Garth interrupted him and told him what he wanted. He seemed annoyed by the whole shop. Maybe I should electrocute him.

After having lunch, Garth came around.
It turned out the food was great after all.
