Three little maidens. One of them was about 12 years old, while the other two were around four years old. They were all very adorable.
Sicarra tried to calm herself down before she stepped forward to ask, âExcuse me, lovely ladies. Did you see my Gaga?â
âGaga?â Amy stopped skipping, and turned to look at Sicarra. âWhatâs that?â
âGaga is a goose, but itâs not a normal goose. Itâs my precious. Itâs rotund and fat with a yellow mouth. Itâs about this big and this round. Itâs super cute, and can fly a little bit.â Sicarra tried her best to describe it.
âOh, I know it!â Amy was thoughtful.
âReally?!â Sicarraâs eyes immediately lit up, and she looked at Amy with joy. âWhere is it?!â
The eyes of Genevieve, who didnât have high hopes, also lit up, and she looked at Amy nervously. She knew how important Gaga was to Sicarra. If Gaga was indeed lost because of her, Sicarra would be sad for a very long time.
âHere.â Amy turned around, and lifted up Ugly Duckling, which was napping on the steps. âSee, is it this one?â
âภÕâ¢Ø¹â¢Õภ???â Ugly Duckling had a befuddled expression.
âWhat???â
Sicarra and Genevieve both had question marks all over their faces.
Although this orange cat was also round and fat, had a yellow mouth, and was super cute, it was still a cat! She was obviously looking for a goose.
âDonât be fooled by its appearance. Itâs actually an ugly duckling, and it can fly a little too. When spring comes, it will become a white swan, and soar freely in the sky. Of course, it may not be able to fly, because itâs too fat, but thatâs fine. It can still be made into a roast goose,â Amy explained.
âMeow, meow?â Ugly Ducklingâs eyes widened. Listen to her, is she talking sense?
âHmm???â Sicarraâs and Genevieveâs eyes also widened. Although they didnât understand what Amy was saying, they heard that she wanted to make a goose into a roast goose!
âHeavens! Gaga is so adorable. How could you guys eat it?â Tears welled up in Sicarraâs eyes.
âTodayâs new product is the roast goose! I love to eat roast goose the most. Itâs even more delicious than the duck.â
âYes. I wonder how Boss Mag roasts it. The roast goose at the squareâs exit is quite nice too.â
âHe has to skin the goose first. Otherwise, he canât get rid of the feathers on it.â
The customers began to arrive one by one. They saw the little black board on the restaurantâs door, and many customers who saw it for the first time started to discuss it.
âGaga, you have died horriblyâ¦â Sicarra couldnât stand that, and burst out in tears on the spot.
This wretched howl scared the customers, and they all looked at her in shock.
Genevieve smiled at the customers apologetically before she pulled Sicarraâs hand, and said, âThey are not talking about Gaga. Donât cry.â
âBut they are eating geese. This restaurant roasts geese. Gaga is so pitifulâ¦â Sicarra still wanted to cry.
Genevieve only wanted to kick the guy who guided them here without listening to them properly. He sent them to a restaurant that wasnât friendly to geese at all, and gave Sicarra bad associations.
âThen, we will go to some other places to look for it. Perhaps Gaga has gone to other places. It shouldnât have come so far.â Genevieve wanted to bring Sicarra away from this miserable place. She was afraid Sicarra would feel more terrible when she saw the roast goose and thought of Gaga.
Sicarra wiped off her tears, looked at Mamy Restaurant with a convinced gaze, and said with conviction, âNo. I believe Gaga is here. Iâm going to save it!â
âButâ¦â Genevieve looked at the exquisite restaurant. As a lady boss operating a breakfast shop at Aden Square, she was familiar with this Mamy Restaurant.
It was deemed the number one restaurant of Chaos City and the miracle of the industry. Even she herself wasnât going to believe that Mamy Restaurantâs boss had stolen their goose.
âWhen the buying stops, the killing can too. I want to meet this restaurantâs boss, and make him release Gaga and stop killing geese,â Sicarra said with conviction.
Genevieve pulled Sicarra aside, and said in a low voice, âSicarra, as a goose-lover, although Mother understands your feelings, we have to discuss this first. Although Gaga is very cute and important to you, we cannot stop others from eating geese because of this.â
âBut, Gagaâ¦â
Amy, who was listening at the side, looked at Sicarra, and interrupted, âIf a rice-lover appears one day, are you going to starve yourself to death, Big Sister?â
âIâ¦â Sicarra was rendered speechless at that moment.
âFurthermore, roast goose is really delicious! You can try it too, Big Sister. You will forget about the Gaga that flies away after eating our roast goose.â Amy didnât forget to promote the restaurantâs new product.
âIâm not eatingâ¦â Sicarra quickly shook her head.
âLetâs go.â Genevieve held Sicarraâs hand.
âNo! I want to make sure that Gaga isnât there!â Sicarra shook her head with conviction again. Looking at Mamy Restaurantâs signboard, she took a deep breath, and seriously said, âI want to line up and wait for him to open!â
âAlright. Itâs time for lunch too. Letâs have our lunch here, and try the skills of the chef of Chaos Cityâs number one restaurant.â Genevieve stopped persuading her. At least this was better than running around like a headless chicken.
Amy stroked Ugly Ducklingâs head, and gently lamented, âUgly Duckling, you are so ugly that nobody wants you.â
âMeow, meow?â
âI want it. Ugly Duckling is so adorable. I like it so much.â Jessica opened her arms wide, and scooped Ugly Duckling up. She rubbed her face against its furry head.
âMeow~â Ugly Duckling rubbed against Jessicaâs chin smugly, proving that it was very much wanted.
âOh, well, Jessica is just too kind.â Amy sighed.
Sicarra stood in the front, and listened to the foodies talk about the 1000 methods to cook geese. Tears slid down her face.
âThey are so cruelâ¦â Sicarra restrained her sadness while wiping away her tears. Her tummy started growling too.
âYes. How can they subject us, two women who havenât had breakfast, to such seduction at this time now.â Genevieve nodded in agreement.
âHmm?â Sicarra turned to look at Genevieve.
âErmâ¦â Genevieve realized she seemed to have said something she shouldnât have. She looked awkward before she pointed to the door in front. âThe doorâs opened.â
Sicarra turned back, and saw that the restaurantâs door indeed slowly opened outwards.
A young and handsome man dressed in a clean and neat chefâs suit walked out with a mesmerizing smile, and said, âWelcome to Mamy Restaurant..â
