Chapter 119 A Chair Fit For Three? Or Is Fit For One!?
[No. I'm too weak to see through the Mosaic Skill, let alone the Artifact concealing her appearance, if not for Sir Gram, I would not have even known the waitress was a young girl.]
'Her identity does not interest me one bit. I'd rather know more about Senior.' James mused to himself.
'... But if they are lovers, she should know more about him… and then there's the way Garrett and Fenwick reacted when she stepped forward to protect Senior.'
With just those bits of information, James had a backup plan in mind.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
After being led to a table, James sat down, quickly realizing the other three chairs remained unoccupied. Slightly raising his head, he looked at Garm and Albert and realized the issue.
Garm was too big to sit on a regular-sized chair.
"Do you have a bigger chair?" Garm rubbed his bald head and chuckled awkwardly.
"Ehhh." Lily was unsure how to respond after also understanding the problem. So far, she had been able to get by as a waitress by copying servers from restaurants she used to visit. Her memory had always been great, but copying could only get a person so far in life.
She had never come across an issue where the chair was too small for the customer.
Not knowing how to answer, without sounding rude, Lily looked at her Big Brother Lucian through the serving hatch for help.
Despite not being able to see her expression because of the Mosaic Skill, Lucian understood her silent plea for help.
[Give me a few seconds Lily.] Lucian gently said to Lily.
[Un.]
Lily then turned around and said to Garm, "Big Brother Lucian has a bigger chair. Please wait a moment."
Garm nodded. "Alright."
Like any professional servant, Albert remained standing. He would only sit after his Master sat down. In fact, had it been up to him, he would have continued standing for the duration his Master ate.
[System, give me a chair suitable for Fatty Garm.] Lucian told the system.
[Would the Host like the chair to be in the same design as the chairs already present?] The System solemnly asked.
Lucian's eyes twitched.
[Of course.]
Why would he want a different styled chair? He was running a restaurant, not a circus.
[50 Gold Coins are required for a Deluxe-sized European Mahogany Chair.]
[Would the Host like to convert One Low-Grade Mana Stone into Gold Coins?]
Lucian once again felt his heart bleeding. The conversation ratio was a complete scam to steal his hard-earned Mana Stones. Nevertheless, he had no choice but to accept. Once he started earning Gold Coins with his two new dishes, he would no longer have to worry about such a problem.
With that in mind, Lucian responded, [Yes.]
[Conversion processing…]
[... Conversion complete.]
[Transaction complete. Host, please check your inventory. Thank you for your patronage.]
[Tch.] Lucian clicked his tongue and summoned the chair beside him.
What appeared in front of him caused his mouth to twitch. The word 'deluxe' was truly an apt description of the chair. The chair's design was exactly the same as the ones in the dining area — made from polished mahogany and complemented with a black leather padding seat and backrest. The only difference was that it could easily fit three adult Human males.
A moment of being stunned later, Lucian called out, [Lily, come get the chair.]
"I'll be right back," Lily said to them, and quickly scurried off into the kitchen.
"It's so big!" Lily's eyes widened as she stared at the beautiful chair.
[Hehe! That's what she said.]
[Pervert.] The System spat in disgust.
[Oi! Lighten up, will you?]
After receiving nothing but silence from the System, Lucian gently asked, "Do you need help, Lily?"
[Nope! Leave it to Lily, Big Brother Lucian. If Lily can't even carry a chair, how can Lily help you?] Lily cheerfully said in her beautiful melodic voice, soothing Lucian's body from head to toe.
Lily then effortlessly picked up the gigantic chair with her tiny hands and strode toward the kitchen door. To her astonishment and awe, the door automatically became wider and taller, allowing her to exit the kitchen. Immediately after, the kitchen door returned to normal.
'Wow, Big Brother Lucian's amazing!' Her pretty eyes sparkled with awe and admiration for her Big Brother Lucian, unaware that it was actually the System's doing.
"Here is your chair. I hope this is to your satisfaction." Lily said, setting the chair down beside the table.
"Thanks." Garm nodded and sat down. Surprisingly, the chair perfectly fit him. It was neither too wide nor too tall. His head was perfectly sandwiched between the headrest, and his legs were perfectly positioned, with his feet on the floor. He felt it was made personally for him.

"And here are your menus." Lily continued, handing two menus to Garm and Albert, who had sat down after his Master.
Garm grabbed the menu and opened it, while Albert's hands remained under the table. He would order what his Master ordered like he had always done.
[Here it comes. Lily, do you want to do the honor of counting down?] Lucian suddenly asked her when he saw the flesh around Garm's eyes wobble.
Lily giggled. [Hehe~! Of course! This is Lily's second favorite part of being a waitress.]
[Oh, and what's the first?] Lucian asked despite knowing her answer.
Lily's face reddened. She, of course, would not say her favorite part of being a waitress at Transcendence was being able to spend time with her Big Brother Lucian.
To hide her embarrassment, she quickly started counting.

'...' But what greeted them was continued silence. The usual exclamations of anger and surprise were nowhere present.
Even James, who had been calmly waiting, was mildly surprised. However, he had also expected that to be the case. Garm had been to many restaurants and had seen his fair share of eccentric rules, therefore, his lack of reaction made sense.
What was outrageous to others was normal for them.
