Chapter 64: Dark Cuisine?
Cocolia checked the time.
"It's getting late, everyone must be tired."
"I've arranged for you to stay at the most comfortable hotel in town to rest and get a good night's sleep. I'll send someone to invite you all tomorrow at noon, and then we'll discuss this important matter properly."
"Great! We haven't really explored this place properly yet!" March 7th exclaimed excitedly.
Cocolia smiled politely and said, "Of course, you are distinguished guests of Belloborg and have the highest authority. The guards will guide you to the hotel."
"In addition, I also need some time to investigate all records that may be related to the star core. I apologize for not seeing you off further."
“Hmm.” Eve nodded slightly and left the office with March 7th and Star.
After everyone had left, Cocolia turned and walked to the window.
Looking at the wind and snow outside the window, and her own reflection in the mirror, she murmured to herself, "Of course I understand... No need to rush, I have my own way."

As soon as they left Cripperburg, Jepard came to greet them.
"You haven't left yet?" March 7th looked at him strangely.
Jepard gave an awkward laugh. "The High Keeper seems to favor you. I have been ordered not to restrict your movements."
"Well, she's quite reasonable." Xing nodded.
"But to be honest, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly," March 7th continued.
"What, do I have to go to prison, or do two weeks of unpaid labor?" Eve said speechlessly.
"Oh, no, that's not it." March 7th puffed out his cheeks.
Hearing these words, Jeppard felt a little embarrassed, so he chuckled awkwardly and said, "Haha, I have official business to attend to and will be returning to my post soon. I hope you have a pleasant stay in Belleburg."
"Is it because of that blue-haired guy?" March 7th asked directly.
Jepard nodded. "Part of it was his fault, but it was mostly other things."
"By the way, your hotel is over there, it's called the Goethe Hotel. If you'd like to explore Belleburg, the Golden Opera House and the History Museum would be good options."
"However, you need to show your ID to enter the museum, and someone will bring you the pass later."
"Then goodbye."
After saying that, Jepard left.
Looking at Jepard's retreating figure, March 7th couldn't help but sigh, "He's really dedicated to his duty."
“Yes, I wish you were half as good as him.” Eve nodded in agreement.
"Sister Eve, you!!" March 7th stomped her foot in anger once again.
"So where should we go first?" Xing asked.
March 7th immediately smiled and said, "Of course... let's eat first!!"
Eve nodded in agreement.
"I haven't eaten any food from this planet yet! I don't know if 50,000 credits will be enough..." March 7 thought for a moment.
“Since we’re isolated from the outside world, prices here shouldn’t be too high,” Eve said.
"That's true, hehe~ Here comes the food!!"
March 7th suddenly became excited.
Eve shook her head helplessly behind them, then followed, muttering to herself, "I wonder if they'll have any small cakes..."
Xing looked around, seemingly searching for something.
"Strange, where did the trash can go?"
.......................
An unnamed little restaurant on the street.
"Wow! It's steaming hot here, it must taste delicious!" March 7th looked at the stall in front of her with white steam rising from it, her heart filled with anticipation.
Eve sighed helplessly, as there seemed to be no small cakes available.
Damn it, she still remembers that Little March owes me two small cakes!
Xing was wrapped in vines and followed closely behind Eve.
Just now on the way, Eve stopped her from having the thought and action of rummaging through the trash can for the 21st time.
It's really strange. Why does such a beautiful young girl always think about rummaging through trash cans?
The group entered the small shop.
"Welcome! What would you like to eat?" the owner greeted them as soon as they entered.
Eve and the other two took their seats. March 7th looked at the menu excitedly and asked the owner, "Boss, do you have any recommended dishes?"
The owner immediately burst into laughter, "Haha, who doesn't know my ramen, Lao Yi Le? Of course, there's also my specialty, fried rock crab!"
"Fried... rock crab?" March Seven looked puzzled. "Is it edible?"
“Young lady, what are you saying? This is a rare seafood in Belleburg!” the owner continued.
"Never mind then, boss, just give me a bowl of ramen," said March 7.
"Okay, would you like some Beloberg sausage?" the owner continued.
"Yes!" March 7th shouted.
"Sister Eve, Star, what do you two want to eat?" March 7 asked curiously.
Eve looked at the menu and said, "Give me a Black Bread Soda Iceberg and a Jim Roger Bread Soda."
March 7th revealed an "I knew it" expression: "I knew it, Sister Eve still loves desserts!"
Xing thought for a moment and said, "I'd like a serving of fried rock crab."
"Okay, coming right away!" the boss said excitedly.
“Uh…” March 7th stared at Xing in shock.
This guy's taste...?
Oh right, I just remembered, she's a tough girl who can eat Stargazing Pie mixed with red wine!
A short while later, the owner brought out all the dishes for Eve and the others.
The Belloberg red sausage ramen was steaming hot, while the black bread soda iceberg was topped with a layer of rich cheese, and the Jim Roger bread soda next to it was constantly bubbling and making a "hissing" sound.
Fried rock crab is quite different. Underneath the golden, crispy crust is a dark object with a huge crab claw on top, making it look rather... eerie?
On March 7th, after taking a look, I thought, "Isn't this a complete disaster?"
"You three guests, your meals are ready. Please enjoy your meal," the owner said with a smile.
