Chapter 209 Fors: There is only one person present who is not a member of the Tarot Club
"Wow! This... this is too delicious!" Little F. Augustus had absolutely no reserve that a member of the royal family should have. He picked up the half bowl of rice that Klein had prepared and scooped it into his mouth along with the scrambled eggs and tomatoes covering the rice. After chewing, his eyes lit up instantly and he praised incoherently.

“As long as you like it…” Klein finally served himself a meal and sat down, only to find that Freni was the only one at the table who had started eating… Fors and Xio looked a little reserved, while Old Blue… seemed to be waiting for him.

Old Bruce then smiled and said:

"There have never been any rules for the dining table in my house. We always love freedom and casualness. Xiao Fu has also developed this habit, so don't mind it. Let's eat and taste Klein's cooking."

Fors and Xio were both shocked and confused. What was the relationship between Old Blue and this royal "Little F"? How did they develop that habit? Why did it seem like they often ate together? Was Old Blue also a member of the royal family?
However, Xiao Fu could tell something was wrong from the old man's tone. The old man seemed kind on the surface, but he was actually very particular! In order to avoid being held accountable later, she immediately put down the bowl and said to Klein sincerely:
"I'm sorry, Klein, I should have waited for you to sit down before I started eating! It's just that the food you cooked was too tempting and made me lose my mind! Also, Fors and Xio, thank you for your permission and hospitality!"

Klein waved his hand quickly and said:

"It's okay. Mr. Blue said that we can just be casual and treat it as a family dinner... Um, Fors, Xio, can you handle spicy food? This Mapo Tofu is my masterpiece! Would you like to try it?"

"Ah! Okay, I can! I really want to try this dish that looks so appetizing!" Fors pushed the small bowl of rice forward and let Klein pick up the larger spoon and scoop a spoonful onto the rice. The bright red soup soaked the crystal clear rice grains, which were neatly cut into elastic "tofu" blocks...

"Give me a bowl too!" Xio pushed the bowl forward with a resolute attitude, as if what he was about to eat was poison, not delicacy.

"Me too!" Xiao Fu saw from the corner of his eye that Old Blue had a very pleased expression, so he took two big mouthfuls of rice, finished the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, moved the bowl to the middle of the table and said.

“Uh…” Klein looked at the three small bowls put together, feeling somewhat emotional. He thought of his brother and sister who were still in Tingen…

I wonder how my family solved lunch problems when I was away? Although Melissa's consumption concept has changed a little under my influence, she is used to being frugal and even asks her former neighbors to help her make a new dress... I wonder if she can eat enough lunch at school? How good is the cooking skill of the newly hired maid Bella?
Benson... Is he still reading the grammar books I left before going to bed? Oh, I haven't told him not to apply for Backlund's position again... The "environment" here is really bad...

Thinking of this, Klein's small knot in his heart suddenly untied. He had an idea before: apply for a transfer to the Backlund Diocese, so that he could be exposed to more advanced mystical knowledge until he achieved his original goal - returning to Earth.

But now, he suddenly felt that his affection for Benson and Melissa... was not so easy to give up, and he didn't want to give it up... Then he wouldn't give it up! When he found a way to go home and bring two new family members home, hey, the two elders would definitely be happier! They have always regretted not giving them more brothers or sisters!

Klein glanced at Fors casually and found that the lady was opening her mouth and fanning herself with her hands to relieve the spiciness... He smiled and handed her a glass of milk as expected, saying,

"Drinking milk can effectively reduce the spicy feeling. Well, actually, this dish is more numbing than spicy. It seems that I should use less chili next time..."

Gulp, Fors drank the milk in big gulps, took a few breaths, and then said:
"No, no need! Although the first bite was very spicy and almost made me cry... but afterwards it was very addictive! Now I have the urge to eat it all! Hiss! It really relieved me a lot, thank you Klein!"

“Uh… not bad! Spicy but very satisfying!” Xio nodded with red eyes, gave Klein a thumbs up, and then started eating again.

"Hiss! Please...please give me a glass of milk too! Thank you!" Xiao Fu also breathed in, with tears in her eyes. She found a new way to use peppers! In the future, when she pretends to cry but can't, she can just wipe it gently...hehe!
Is it spicy? Old Blue was a little confused. He also had a big spoonful of mapo tofu and chewed it. It wasn’t spicy... Fragrant, sweet, and salty, but it wasn’t spicy... Hey, he put down his bowl with a helpless expression. He became a "Wind-loving One" and his physical fitness was enhanced again... It really wasn't spicy at all! Is this retribution? Is it retribution for eating too much chili in the previous life? ! God of Chili! Don't let me find you!

"Uh... Mr. Blue, is this dish not to your taste?" Klein keenly observed the old man's mood after trying the dish. Old Blue should like spicy food, right? He had even sent a lot of chili peppers to Tingen before!
"No, I also think they are delicious. Your cooking skills have never disappointed anyone." Old Blue said, "I just miss my hometown a little, but it doesn't matter... I have finished my work at the church, and I will return to Tingen today.

"I came to see you today, firstly to say goodbye, and secondly to introduce Xiao Fu to you, Fors, Xio. After I leave, go to Senior Deacon Roy for official matters. If you can't resolve personal matters, go to Xiao Fu. Of course, you can also write to me through the messenger..."

"Ah?" Xio even forgot the spicy taste in his mouth. Old Blue's choices were always unexpected!

Fors was thoughtful. She didn't think that Old Blue had just returned home to retire and quit the circle, because this old man was still the "priestess" of the secret organization "Tarot Club"! He was even actively recruiting new members! For example, Klein, for example, herself! Old Blue must have a great reason to return to Tingen!
Hmm, I wonder what the scale of the Tarot Club is like. Who are the other members besides the three of us... Wait! Fors glanced at Ms. Augustus casually and muttered in her heart:
Isn't this a ready-made person?! The royal family members knew the "ordinary man" Old Blue, and they were not arrogant, and they looked up to the old man... So that's it! This lady must also be a member of the "Tarot Club"! And it's possible that she joined later than Old Blue!
Um... so now at this table... there is only Hugh! Only Hugh is excluded! The other four are all members of the secret Tarot Club!

Oh my god! Xio was too cautious when she shouldn't have been, and didn't pronounce the honorific name of Mr. Fool! As a result, she missed the opportunity to join the Tarot Club!

No! I absolutely cannot let Xio be isolated! Fors secretly made up his mind that he would wait until he actually participated in a Tarot Club to test the waters, and then he must let his friends feel the warmth of the Tarot Club! Well! With someone like Klein, the Tarot Club must be very warm!

……

After sending the three people away, Xio said in confusion:
"Fors, why are you in my dream? I'm about to wake up, it's time to get up..."

"...Xiu! You are not dreaming!" Fors said helplessly.

"Ah? We really had lunch with a member of the royal family? Even when my family was prominent, we didn't have that opportunity..." Xio said with a complicated expression. Her father had served as the commander of the royal guard and the chief of the palace guards, and some of her ancestors had served as earls of the palace! But seven years ago, the unfounded charge of "rebellion" stripped away all the honors, and Dier became Diercha.

"Yes, it's true! And that lady also said that if someone from the military comes to you, you can accept or refuse. If you refuse, just say that you are already working for Lady Renee! I think this is the guarantee that Old Blue found for you after he learned about your family background... You don't want to get too close to the military, do you?" Fors heard about Xio's father. To be honest, when the military demigod showed up yesterday, she was really worried for Xio... Fortunately, the powerful people in the church are more powerful!

"..." Xio was silent for a while before sighing:

"In fact, the shelter from the storm is enough...

"Ah, I seem to have received too much care... I'm afraid I won't be able to repay you in the future... But if I can restore my father's reputation..."

Fors patted his chest proudly and said:
"Don't be afraid. Even though it's hard, I'm still here! I'll support you!"

And I have the support of the mysterious Tarot Club! She added in her mind.
