Chapter 854 Visiting The Chef Guild

Chapter 854 Visiting The Chef Guild

-----
(Drake POV)
In front of us there was an enormous building, as big as the Adventurer Guild of the Orange Forest Fiefdom, is not even bigger and monstrous. It was so big that it emanated an aura of prestige and nobility despite belonging to a guild that specialized in cooking, finding new ingredients, and discovering the world of gourmets.
Indeed, this was the Chef Guild! The first time I learned there was a Guild specially made for Chefs I was impacted. Apparently this Guilds was formed not so long ago, around thirty years ago by a wealthy merchant that was passionate about cooking and found many people that shared his dreams of creating a special guild where these passionate chefs could unify together and make themselves recognized. The Chef Guild is new still, but it already has over a hundred members all over the continent.
As a passionate chef myself, I couldn't possibly miss the opportunity to join the Chef Guild, especially because it seems they offer a variety of products unique to their members, alongside many offers for job and they also buy products from their members. This is also an ideal place to find ingredients to make delicious and new food. Maybe I could even show off a bit of my Cooking Magic. I wonder if anybody else has discovered it yet? Maybe I am not the only one that can use it. After all when the Cooking Skill reaches Level 10, it evolves into Cooking Magic.
…Wait, no, nobody has a System where they can level up Skills, only those marked with my Divine Dragon Mark just attained this power. So maybe not many could had even figured out there are Abilities within people's souls and bodies, even less levels to them, which is not even something everyone has.
When we entered the building, we were greeted by a very beautiful interior, not at all like the rustic interior of the Adventurer Guild, but a very beautiful and well decorated interior, with ceramic floor, white walls, and big pillars. There were beautifully crafted wooden furniture and colorful cushion seats. The moment we got inside, we were greeted by a receptionist, a beautiful blonde elf half-elf lady who was quite tall at over two meters. Was she half-giant? A half-giant elf, how rare.
"Welcome to the Chef Guild! You're quite a big group, are you interested in purchasing our products?" Wondered the lady, she was two meters and a half. Certainly, she had a strong giant bloodline. Her ears were not as long as the elves but notably longer than any other race, and her shiny blonde hair and emerald eyes gave it away rather easily.
"Wooow! Are you a giant, missy?" Suddenly, Cassim asked something before I could answer her question. The little cat-kin was so small the half-elf lady had to look down to notice him.
"Oh? Haha, my mother is a Giant, yes." Said the girl while laughing cheerily. "In Heaven Port it is rather common to find half-kin!"
"Woah! You're so pretty!"
"Can you lift me?"
"Big elf lady!"
The receptionist was then swarmed by the kids that Draugann brought with her. I don't have anything against them but now I begun to think that it wasn't a good idea to bring them if they were going to get ahead of themselves like this… Maybe I should had taught them to behave better.
"Sorry about them, we came here because I want to register in the Chef Guild. Is there any requirements?" I wondered. "My name is Drake by the way, and I am a VIP Merchant, if that helps." I showed the girl the VIP Merchant Card and she immediately opened her eyes wide, her entire body ended becoming as stiff as a statue and she couldn't even move anymore. Is this so surprising to see?
"V-V-VIP Merchant?! It is an honor to see a new one! It has been weeks since a VIP Merchant showed up in here!" She said. "M-May I call my superiors? I think they can handle the registration process better, Sir Drake!"
"Sure, I can wait."
I ended sitting over the cushions with the rest of my party. Although Yuki and Belle began to play with the children who were exploring every nook and cranny of the building's first floor. Kate began floating around after getting bored for a bit, and Benladra wanted to catch her by flying with her little dragon wings. Of course, I couldn't let them reveal such powers to people, so I used my Telekinesis to exert force over their bodies and stop them from flying around for a bit. Both noticed this and got upset though.
"Babah! I wan flyyy!" Benladra began to complain to me as if she were a spoiled girl. Well, she is.
"Waw…" Kate said. I didn't understand what that meant, but she was a cutie nonetheless.
"You two behave for now, okay? We are in public, Benladra, you can't fly around. It is a secret that we are dragons…" I told her through Telepathy. Benladra seemed still angered about it and began to pout until her face grew as red as a tomato.
"Come on dear, don't be like this." My wife quickly held Benladra with her arms. Kate was surprisingly calm as always and accepted what I said without getting angry, sitting while looking at the children play. Sometimes I wonder what's up inside her mind. Miranda thankfully came to accompany her.
"Sir Drake! The Guild Master has invited you to his office, is it okay to come alone?" The half-elf girl came running here rapidly, as I nodded.
"We'll keep watch on them, so go register in peace." Said Benladann.
"Yeah, leave it to us." Miranda added.
"Without you two I don't know what I would do to be honest, thanks."
The receptionist quickly guided me upstairs, as I reached a prestigious and regal-looking office where a large man waited for me sitting in a well-decorated chair. Oh, he was a beast-kin!
"It is a pleasure to meet a new VIP Merchant, Sir Drake. My name is Eustace, Guild Master of the Chef Guild, oink."
Wait, oink?
