BXBX NOVEL Chapter 80 - 80
The next morning, Emily left the room with a smile on her face. She had made sure to clean up any mess created and make sure her client was throughly satisfied after she left.
The moment she closed the door, Emily sighed with regret. She usually got very few customers as most youths preferred to frolic with girls their age rather than take older girls like her.
It was only every so often that she would get clients, and most of them were impotent fat noble sons who struggled to even get it up. For her to score a client like Darius, who ticked all her boxes, was as rare as finding a dragon\'s egg in a phoenix\'s nest.
As such, Emily had spent the entire night with him, more or less satisfying herself more than him, because she did not know when she would get this chance again.
With another sigh, Emily departed and returned to her quarters to get ready for work.
As for Darius, he just finished taking a bath and was wiping his face down. Gunner was still fast asleep, snoring like a train on faulty tracks. Darius chuckled when he saw this and moved to lie on his bed as he sorted out his plan for the day.
He spent some time creating a new skill manual for Gunner, something to enhance his unarmed fighting skills. What came out cost him about 4 CP, the same as his Basic Lancer Arts.

Darius raised Gunner from his sleep and had the lad take a bath. After that, he presented the fellow with the skillbook which he quickly learned much in the same manner that Darius did.
A grayish slush rushed up his arms, through his ears, and into his brain. Gunner spent about 4 seconds digesting the new info before nodding his head and rising to his feet.
"Let\'s go down and have some breakfast." Darius suggested, to which Gunner showed visible excitement.
Darius and his servant climbed down the long steps of the inn, eventually reaching the ground floor. It couldn\'t be helped, The Great Escape Inn was about the size of a medium-sized mall.
Once on the ground floor, the duo noticed that most of the seats were taken. Residents who were coming to enjoy their free breakfast as well as those who were walking in to pay for it directly occupied the place.
The crowd at least told Darius that the food was exceptional, otherwise people would not waste their money on it. As the duo scouted where to sit, Darius saw Emily approach them from the corner of his eye.
Surprised that the escort also coincidentally worked in the morning shift, Darius greeted her as she came close. "Hello there, are all the seats taken?"
Emily smiled at Darius, but deep down she was pleased to see that he was around. "For the average residents and the incoming customers, yes. For those who have executive suites, there are private tables reserved for each room."
Darius nodded as he expected something like this from an outlet service this opulent. "Please lead us there."
Emily bowed and led the duo to the corner of the large hall, where a few larger tables were spread out neatly, possessing better decorations and a wider array of cutlery than Darius thought.
He sat down on the table that shared the same number as their suite room, while Gunner sat on the other side. Darius turned to Emily who still hadn\'t left and said: "For me, I\'d like the full course breakfast as you normally offer it. For my compatriot, he would like the same thing, but about 10 servings in total."
Emily paused with shock as she gazed at Gunner with incomprehension. Yeah, the fellow was big, but how could anyone eat so much?!
"Erm, My Lord… this…" Emily stuttered, unsure of how to put this.
Darius waved his hand and laughed. "No need to worry Emily, we aren\'t troublemakers. My meal and Gunner\'s first meal shall be counted as part of the suite benefits. Everything he eats afterward, I will pay for."
Emily sighed with relief and bowed in gratitude, rushing off to see to their order. Darius took out a book on the Magical Method he planned to read earlier, but could not at the time and dove into it, while Gunner meditated where he sat, channeling his bloodline continuously.
Soon enough, their food was brought to them and Darius noted that it was basically a well-prepared English Breakfast. Since this was the type he liked and what he had mostly consumed back on earth, Darius dug in with gusto.
Of course, he could not outdo Gunner who cleared his first serving before Darius was done with his first egg, and soon cleared the second, third, and beyond.
Darius finished his meal and had to pay up an extra 230 bronze for Gunner\'s extra meals. Darius was surprised to find that the 9 meals were each about 23 bronze.
Well, it seemed like this kind of breakfast was far more expensive in Andrato than it was on earth. Well, since earth had better and more stable supply lines, it did make sense.
The duo had to leave the plates for Emily and three other young maidens to carry, as they stared at Gunner with strange expressions. The fact that the large lad didn\'t even look fully satisfied by the meal left them flabbergasted.
As for Darius and Gunner, they soon exited The Great Escape Inn from the front and went to a nearby shop. There, Darius did what he should have done yesterday and bought a detailed map of the town.
He just looked at it once and allowed his mini-map to guide him, giving the actual map to Gunner to study since he did not have a map function… yet.
