Chapter 1735: How Can You Say That I Was Lost
“Wash your hands, and we can start eating.”
Mag smiled as he received the specialty food from Connie. They had received a letter from Connie a day before saying that she would be joining everyone for lunch. Therefore, Mag even cooked a few more dishes.
“My respects to you, Chief.” Miya bowed respectfully to Connie.
“Mm-hm, mm-hm. Dispense with formalities.” Connie nodded as she tried to hold her laughter back. After that, she quickly held Miya’s arm, and happily said, “Big Sister Miya, everyone, I missed all of you!”
“We missed you too,” Miya said with a smile.
“But Big Sister Connie, didn’t you say that you would arrive in the morning? Why did you only arrive in the afternoon?” Amy looked at Connie, and curiously asked, “Were you lost?”
Everyone looked at Connie. They thought that there would be a lot of people from the Falk Tribe following Connie along, but it seemed she came alone.
“Mm…” Connie blushed. She waved her little hands, and said, “How is that being lost? I just flew a few extra kilometers north, and then a few kilometers east, but I still managed to make my way back with my super strong sense of direction. Aren’t I impressive?”
“How impressive.” Mag clapped his hands. She was so off she almost went to the Roth Empire.
Everyone could not hold their laughter back. Even after becoming the chief of the Falk Tribe, Connie was still that killer with no sense of direction.
Connie came out after washing her hands, and saw Angela. Her eyes lit up, and she said, “Is this sister new to the restaurant?”
“Hi, I’m Angela,” Angela introduced herself with a slight nod.
“Hi, I’m the ex-delivery girl of Mamy Restaurant, Connie.” Connie also introduced herself with a slight smile. After that, she could not help but praise, “You’re really pretty.”
“Thank you.” Angela smiled even more radiantly.
“Oh, right, where’s Babla? Why don’t I see her? Did she already go back to the moon?” Connie asked quickly after sitting down.
“Big Sister Babla went to save the world, and will join us for a meal very quickly,” Amy replied.
“Wow, it’s only been a few days, and she’s already leveled up so much?” Connie exclaimed in shock.
“Yeah, after all, she represents the moon,” Amy said with a nod.
“Alright, let’s eat first. The soul of this table of delicacies is disappearing.” Mag clapped his hands, and started the meal.
“Thank you, the city lord of Chaos City, for allowing me to escape from those menial things in the tribe, and being able to enjoy this table full of delicacies,” Connie thanked as she clasped her hands together. After that, she picked up her chopsticks, and went for the gleaming red braised pork. She put the meat to her nose to take a whiff first before putting it into her mouth.
“Aww… This darn fat!”
Connie closed her eyes and indulged in the enjoyment as the red braised pork melted in her mouth. The meat was fat but not greasy. The soft red braised pork was a delicacy that one could only find in Mamy Restaurant. The lean meat was very tender, and it was not very dry. The skin of the pork was smooth and a little sticky and chewy, making her salivate even more.
Her taste buds had already started cheering. It seemed as though they were welcoming the precious rain after a long drought!
After swallowing the red braised pork, Connie quickly took two mouthfuls of rice, and the slight greasiness was quickly suppressed by the sweet and fragrant white rice. She could not help but put another red braised pork into her mouth again.
“This is so satisfying and touching…” Connie held her bowl as she looked at Mag with tears welling up in her eyes. “Boss, let me come back as a delivery girl. I think it’s way better than being a chief.”
“Gary and Ferdinand gave their all just for that position. If they knew that you wanted to give up the position of the chief to be a delivery girl, how do you think they would react?” Mag looked at Connie, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. It seemed like Connie was still not used to the hustle around the things at the tribe and the food, which was a far cry from Mamy Restaurant’s.
“To be honest, I don’t understand why they wanted to fight for the position of chief. It’s just a super tiring and boring job. On top of that, you have to be responsible for the entire tribe, or even the hopes and future of other tribes.” Connie shrugged. If the rebellion hadn’t occurred, she would have just left the tribe to them without a care.
“But no matter what, you’re still the chief of the Falk Tribe. How can you come to Chaos City alone without a single guard?” Mag looked at Connie with bewilderment. “Didn’t your master come with you?”
“No. I told him to stay behind to protect the Falk Tribe. He’s way more useful there than me. I’m afraid I’ll be killed the moment he leaves,” Connie said as she wrapped a piece of roasted duck.
“You do know your place.” Mag could not help but laugh. She was the only one who could become a chief like that.
“Of course, I am a killer who knows my limits.” Connie nodded in agreement as she placed the duck meat in her mouth.
Connie’s return brought lots of laughter to the people in the restaurant. It felt as though it was a long-awaited reunion.
“It’s a pity that there’s no news of Sally yet. I wonder how she’s doing right now,” Miya lamented.
As one of the two earliest members of the restaurant, Sally and Miya were very close. However, Sally had not returned since she left.
“She would be back to see everyone sooner or later,” Mag said with a smile. He did not know whom the elves would send over as their representative for this meeting. Could Sally, who became the new elven princess, be coming?
Lunch had ended, and the lunchtime operating hours had officially begun. Everyone started getting busy.
Meanwhile, Connie sat around at the side, sometimes lending a helping hand. In any case, other than her master, no one else ordered delivery, so she currently had no use at all.
There was a delivery order for the Thunderstorm Mountains, but Mag was too worried to hand Connie that delivery order. It would be better to let the staff from the city lord’s castle do the job.

“Where’s the head of that lass?” Auster, who was preparing to fly to Chaos City, asked as he got on his flying steed.
“Chief… we… we did not manage to catch her…” The orc who was replying fell to his knees as his legs went limp as he cried, and said, “We’ve already placed ambushes tens of kilometers around the flying route that she had to pass by, but we did not even see a trace of her at all for the entire morning. I think that… she could have been lost.”
“Useless fools!” Auster’s face went black. A terrifying aura pressed the orc flat on the ground. “I gave you 1,000 black eagle flying steeds, and you couldn’t even catch a young lass. Now you’re trying to trick me by saying that she got lost?!”
