Two young, beautiful women strolled into the town's most popular restaurant. It was made up of stone, and with two glass doors that acts as the entrance to the restuarant. Most of the wall was occupied by windows, and any passerby could easily peek in to notice how crowded it was in there.

There was even a queue outside as the waiter accommodated to the guests waiting for their seats.

"Miss Lan, Miss Katae, welcome to Plik. Your usual seats has been reserved on the second floor by the balcony." The waitress greeted respectfully, bowing.

Despite having top-notch chefs at home to prepare meals for them, all the nobles in the town of Aoi adored this restuarant. It wasn't because of its food, but the authentic drinks that the chefs personally made.

The food was fantastic, but the drinks were one of its kind.

"Thank you!" Hana chirped, heading up the stairs without waiting for the waitress to guide her.

The waitress was a newcomer, thus, she was taken aback by Hana's behaviour. She sneaked a glance up at Cecil, stiffening when her cold, onyx eyes were looking down at her.

I'll keep up a slight appearance of the previous Cecil Lan, just because.

"You are dismissed, we will head up by ourselves this time." Cecil waved her off, keeping her chin upright as she ascended the stairs.

Cecil sipped at her drink in an elegant manner, the cool liquid filling her mouth as a sweet yet refreshing taste tickled at her taste buds. She swallowed it down, a look of approval flashing past her eyes.

Since she has been transmigrated into this body, her taste buds belonged to this body as well. Thus, Cecil was eager to taste every single food or drink she had the opportunity to come across.

The novel stated how the drinks here were exceptional and nothing more. Now tasting it for myself, it is unbelievable.

It's so delicious!

Cecil took another sip, letting out a small, satisfied sigh. She glanced at Hana sitting opposite her, her lips curving upwards as she noted the young woman enjoying her drink happily.

"No matter how many times we come here, I never get tired of their drinks!" Hana beamed, relishing in her drink.

"Indeed." Cecil nodded, gazing at her drink with interest.

The drink was simply named "Cherry's Kiss", and when it was served, there were clearly two separate liquids. A bright red and pale blue liquid, with former on the top and the latter at the bottom. It was advised that the customers should mix them thoroughly before drinking.

On the side of the glass cup, there was a cherry accompanied by mint leaves hanging at the side. Cecil ate the cherry, which never had the opportunity to try, frowning a little at its taste.

Their meals arrived the next second and they eagerly reached for their food. Alas, like the noble ladies they were, they had to refrain wolfing down the food, taking small bites, little by little.

Cecil was crying on the inside. She certainly wasn't groomed to be a noble lady since she was young, but this body of hers was. She could only follow the regal movements of her body and involuntarily eat her food bit by bit.
