Thorns, roses, vines, blood… Even the paintings on the wall carried a thick, dark atmosphere, completely unlike the outside.
However, if the time visitor Jon was here, he would immediately recognize the style combining Baroque and Lolita—a typical, dark Lolita touch. This was not intended for kids, but it could still be considered fairytale-like in a broad sense. A fairytale for adults.
Angor knew about cultures from the Earth, but not to the extent of understanding something so… special. He was still a kid!
Thus, Angor was just as curious as everyone else, about the unique interior decoration of the restaurant.
It looked so foreign, Angor exclaimed in his mind. Now that he looked at Barbie’s Restaurant up close, he began to realize that he was far away from the Old Earth for real, and there were only more foreign things for him to see.
As Angor pondered in his mind, an apprentice quickly walked to him.
Angor looked up and quickly switched to his polite manner.
It was Mara, the only man in this group that was somehow close to him. Mara did not pay Angor much attention since they came to the ship, but Angor could take on this path all thanks to Mara. Besides, Mara helped Jon. Even if he asked something in return, Angor still needed to repay his favor. This was why Angor immediately changed his plain expression into a respectful one.
Seeing Angor’s attitude, Mara stroke his gray-white beard joyfully.
“Angor, I thank you for letting us into Barbie’s Restaurant.” Mara smiled. The wrinkles on his face spread like the layered petals of a blooming daisy.
Angor was shocked by Mara’s sudden gratitude and did not know how to respond for a second. He could only keep nodding.
Since Mara was here, Angor recalled his condition earlier, about the unknown itchiness on his back. What on earth was that? Did it have something to do with the strange world he visited?
The condition was probably threatening his life, and Mara was the only supernatural he could ask, so he made up his mind.
“Mister Mara, when I took the talent test—”
“Angor, if I may, where did you obtain your golden card?” Mara’s question interrupted Angor’s voice.
That question was for everyone else too, including the three wizards, who also focused onto their conversation waiting for an answer. Even Tom Weasel walking beside Angor was not hiding his curiosity.
Since all people were looking, Angor was no longer comfortable about talking about his privacy, so he gave up his question and answered Mara.
Angor took out the golden card from the seabird from his pouch. One side of the card was blank, but Angor could feel something uneven when touching it and see some kind of complicated patterns when looking from the side. The other side of the card had the same inconspicuous carvings, but they were colored. There was a clear image of the half-figure of a plump lady with violet hair.
“This card?”
Tom Weasel replied, “Neehahahaha, yes, my honored guest. This is a golden card from Barbie’s Restaurant. With this, you can enjoy a free meal from us, but only for once. When you leave the restaurant, the card will vanish on its own.”
