Silverwing Leap would definitely be the most luxurious looking restaurant that Elena had ever seen. It was not just a simple restaurant but a castle that had a complete secret realm inside it.

The owner of this place was named Maumao and she was not only an extremely talented cook but also one of the best alchemist and apothecary in all of Valhalla.

Her mind worked in a peculiar way and she had created various bizzare dishes that would make anyone dumbfounded. But even then, after eating what she had made, no one could stop themselves from praising it.

She was also very well known for being very kind. Her alchemical company sold potions and medicine for cheap to the poorer adventurers and needy. She was also very well known for recruiting many young and helpless children in her company and then to train them from the ground up to become functioning member of society.

After Elena heard about her accomplishments, she became very interested to meet her. So as Elena got in front of the castle, she was very excited.

A gentleman in butler like clothing and a maid in proper maid dress was waiting before the gate for Elena's arrival. As soon as they noticed Elena, they bowed to her and invited her in. Obviously they were also aware that a Gourmet Tycoon was coming to grace them.

As the doors of the palace opened, the maid and butler duo started to guide Elena. The inside of the place was tastefully decorated with most of the places being used by the staff who worked here.

As for where the guests were treated, it was the large dining hall of the castle. But Elena was not brought there and was instead brought to a room that looked like a place where a princess or a prince might live.

Then the maid opened the wardrobe in the room and a portal appeared before Elena. This was the path to the secret realm where only the test takers were allowed to go.

As the fame of Silverwing Leap was greater than most other places, the amount of customer they were getting was insane. Even many non food enthusiasts had came here to enjoy the food from this place. That was why it was impossible to bring everyone to the test area.

So Maumao had made a rule that only people who had contributed to the city of sin by supplying any amount of Sinful energy of gluttony would be allowed to come here. So all the food enthusiasts could still take the test without any trouble but the regular people would not be eligible.

After entering the secret realm, Elena found herself inside a lash forest. There was also a large lake just before her. A slender lady with green hair and blue eyes was happily collecting herbs from the forest whole humming a pleasant tune.

This lady was none other than the famous alchemist, Maumao. Seeing that her maid and butler had brought the newest Gourmet Tycoon to her, she smiled pleasantly at them and told them to prepare a place to have a comfortable conversation.

Very soon Elena found herself sitting on a mat while drink some herbal tea. This was a mix that Maumao had very recently developed and Elena was the first person to get a taste of it.

As for how it was, Elena gave her honest opinion to Maumao. It was absolutely terrible. It was too bitter with a very unpleasant after taste. If Elena had to rate it, she would give it negative points.

Hearing that Maumao laughed out loud but also agreed with her appraisal. She then explained to Elena that she was trying to somehow make the bitter taste of a herb named Goucheng more bearable but she had completely failed to reach her goal. This herb was quite nutritious. So if she could just make it to taste a little better, this tea could easily became something that people would love to drink regularly for the benefits it provided.

Hearing this, Elena started to suggest some ideas about how she could tackle this problem. Those suggestions were so interesting to Maumao that she immediately started to test them out. Soon she found out that Elena's knowledge in the field of alchemy was greater than hers, so she became very engrossed in their talk on this subject.

Normally for the test in Silverwing Leap, one needed to collect various ingredient from the forest including spices, herbs, vegetables and meat all by themselves. Then they needed to make suggestions to Maumao about a dish that could be made with only the collected ingrediants. If the suggestion turned out to be good, then that person would pass the test.

But Elena did not even took the test and instead became a research partner for her. In her excitement, Maumao actually forgot completely that Elena was here to eat food made by her and instead she got absorbed into alchemy. Elena did not mind this as she was happy to see Maumao's dedication and excitement for the thing that she loved.

After about three hours, Maumao suddenly came back to her senses and remembered that she was supposed to cook for Elena. She immediately felt extremely bad for wasting her big sister's time.

Yes, in the last three hours, Elena had went from being a stranger to a friend, then had became her teacher but when Elena complained about that finally she ended up becoming Maumao's big sister. So Maumao genuinely felt bad for imposing upon Elena in her selfishness.

Seeing the sad expression on Maumao's face, Elena smiled lightly and hugged her new little sister. Then she told her that it was fine because now that they had become sisters, Elena could come to her and ask for her cooking anytime she wanted. Hearing this, Maumao's mood also improved and the two new sisters started laughing and talking.

...

Elena left the Silverwing Leap with a glass of icecream in her hand. This was something that Maumao had prepared at the last moment. She had quickly collected various sweet fruits from the forest and had created this with her ice magic. The milk and egg that she had used were also from very high level beasts. It was extremely tasty.

Even though Elena did not get to eat too much food in Silverwing Leap, she was not dissatisfied with her visit there. She managed to get a new cute little sister there and also managed to discuss alchemy with someone after a very long time. So she was happy and satisfied with the result.

So next, she was planning to visit another shop called "Little Witch Cafe" which was also run by another one of the Queens of Flavours. So what kind of magical surprise was waiting for Elena there ?
