Gloria lifted her head again and walked in with others. She looked to the kitchen, clenching her fists. The veil hid her expression. She took a sniff and recognized the smells of meat and eggs. She was familiar with them, yet somehow they smelled strangely different and inviting here.

Gloria nodded. “Okay.” They seated themselves.
“This restaurant is very busy, as you can see,” Lucia said softly. “We may have to share a table with others. Are you okay with that?”
“Yes,” Gloria said, and started looking around out of curiosity.
She rarely ate out, and when she did, she always ate in a private dining room. She had never eaten with so many people around her before.
Lucia was her cousin, and had watched Gloria grow up. She always told her fun stuff she heard or witnessed since she knew the poor girl had no friends to speak of. She often cheered her up with her own scars.
When Lucia told Gloria she had found a way to treat her black freckles, the latter got so excited. She looked dubious, though, since so many doctors and magic casters had failed. Still, she was willing to try, even if the chance was slim.
She didn’t want to have to wear a veil for the rest of her life.
“Hi, can I take your orders?” Yabemiya asked with a smile. She was a little curious about Gloria, but never showed it, her smile genuine and sincere.
“Yes,” said Lucia. She opened the menu and put it before Gloria. “What do you want to eat? I like the savory tofu pudding here.”
“I’d like a sweet tofu pudding,” Gloria said quietly after a while.
“I’ll have a savory tofu pudding and two plates of Yangzhou fried rice,” said Lucia.
Yabemiya nodded. “Okay. Please wait a sec.”
“You can eat that much?” Gloria asked, incredulous.
Lucia smiled. “One plate of Yangzhou fried rice is for you,” she said. “See that little girl there? That’s the owner’s daughter.”
Looking at her eating tofu pudding and roujiamo, Gloria swallowed despite herself.

After a short while, thankfully, Yabemiya started serving their orders, and she was quite efficient at it.
Aromatic smells started floating in the air.
However, now she found herself unable to resist the tempting smell of the meat. She saw that the bread was stuffed with meat as a customer at a nearby table was eating it.
Two women took their seats at their table. There weren’t many seats available now. Gloria didn’t like sharing her table with strangers, but she considered herself lucky that she wasn’t sitting with demons or other creatures.
“Your tofu pudding, please enjoy,” said Yabemiya, putting the two bowls before Gloria and Lucia.
