My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 153: Chapter 13 Betty: I Have a Special Way of Brown-Nosing

Chen Ze silently cleared all the information; as an internet user, he was well aware that he couldn’t shake off this "pot".

No matter what Hastur said, as long as Hastur’s popularity continued, Chen Ze would be the only person she paid attention to.

"I really didn’t expect to become famous for this reason," Chen Ze shook his head and laughed.

After getting dressed, Chen Ze headed straight to the kitchen. Even as an internet celebrity, life had to go on as usual.

Chen Ze was never the type to let fame get to his head.

"Why does this ’Yu Xiang Rou Si’ always feel a bit off..." Chen Ze rubbed his head, somewhat struggling with the dish. Today, he had planned to make a Yu Xiang Rou Si.

Given the dish’s popularity in Sichuan cuisine, and its substantial renown, it should have been quite straightforward.

With Chen Ze’s culinary skills, preparing a Yu Xiang Rou Si was supposed to be easy, so it wasn’t long before he served up a dish of it.

[You have made an ordinary Yu Xiang Rou Si, Huaxia Cuisine experience increased by 5 points.]

The System’s notification left Chen Ze feeling unsatisfied, so he tasted it himself and found that while it was okay, it was just shy of being really tasty.

Chen Ze was nearly pulling his hair out with frustration; this feeling of being just a step away from success was incredibly vexing.

"Manager~" Betty’s gleeful voice, along with another girl’s voice, reached him.

"Betty? And who is this?" Chen Ze looked at the other Succubus beside Betty, dressed neatly and looking reserved.

It seemed this was the good sister that Betty had bought, but Chen Ze didn’t understand why Betty would bring this Succubus to the restaurant.

"Manager, this is my good friend Lindsay!" Betty excitedly introduced her friend to Chen Ze.

"Lindsay, this is the manager, Sir. He’s my great benefactor~" Betty grinned and dragged the shy Lindsay to the front.

"Hi, Lindsay," Chen Ze said as he wiped his hands and then took and shook Lindsay’s hand.

"Manager, I’ve brought Lindsay to dine here today. A daily special combo will be fine. Please make sure to give me the employee discount~" Betty chirped happily into Chen Ze’s ear.

"Sure, I’ll charge you 1 Gold Coin," Chen Ze smiled. It seems it wasn’t what he had thought.

"Long live the manager~" Betty cheered, and then she dragged Lindsay to a table before running upstairs to change her outfit.

Chen Ze watched Betty hopping upstairs with a laugh, then turned to look at the very reserved Lindsay, "She’s always like this, right?"

"Yes, Betty... has always been so cheerful, she still is." Perhaps speaking of her friend made Lindsay less reserved, and she smiled, watching Betty’s retreating figure.

Chen Ze silently shook his head. What’s this? Had Betty misallocated her charm points? Why did she attract only girls?

Chen Ze felt a bit melancholic about how to explain to Lindsay Lady Lafra’s special feelings for Betty.

"Achoo!" Lafra rubbed her nose, not sure why, but she suddenly felt the urge to sneeze.

"Lady Lafra, what’s wrong?" The Head Maid quickly rushed into the bedroom, looking concernedly at Lafra who was rubbing her nose in confusion.

"No worries, no worries." Lafra shook her head, fully aware of how healthy her own body was; there wasn’t a single issue with it.

However, Lafra was also quite puzzled, for she hadn’t sneezed in thousands... no, tens of thousands of years.

She felt the last time she sneezed was when she was a child, during a birthday her mother had thrown for her, when she choked on some cake...

The Head Maid smiled at Lafra, who was lost in thought. She felt that Lafra was simply a perfect divine creation, a miracle bestowed by the gods.

"Humph!" Lafra suddenly smashed a cup against the wall, punching a hole through it. The cup, propelled by the Magic Circle, flew far away.

"!" The Head Maid and all the other maids knelt on the ground with trepidation.

"I want to see... Humph, I’m going to get my cola for today, otherwise who knows if that lowly human would embezzle it~" Lafra said with a smile, standing up and heading to the wardrobe. She wanted to pick out her prettiest outfit. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

The Head Maid let out a sigh of relief and waved her hand, prompting the maids to hurriedly surround Lafra and assist her in dressing.

"Lindsay, this is braised pork rice, so delicious! Especially this tofu, bite into it and it’s full of broth, so flavorful!" Betty, dressed as a maid, excitedly placed a plateful in front of Lindsay.

"And this! Magical Mapo Tofu, look, it even glows. And this! Garlic-flavored eggplant, I’m telling you, Lady Lafra absolutely loves it..." Chen Ze watched Betty, who was prattling on and on, and smiled as he shook his head.

Betty had always been cheerful, especially since being recruited as a waitress by Chen Ze; she’d been smiling every day.

However, Chen Ze could feel that Betty was initially quite distant from him, probably trying to seduce him in order to feel secure.

As time went on, Betty’s smiles became more and more genuine.

Now, Chen Ze could feel that Betty’s smile was the kind one gives to a good friend, unfettered and free-spirited.

Chen Ze lowered his head and continued chopping vegetables, finding this quite nice. A smile from the heart was very good.

"Lindsay, did you know?" Betty leaned in mysteriously, whispering excitedly.

"What?" Lindsay took a satisfying sip of cola, a new experience for her.

"Lady Lafra is fond of the manager." Lindsay looked at Betty with a face full of surprise, thinking her friend might have been hit with a mind-altering spell.

"Don’t be so skeptical, you’ll see when Lady Lafra arrives. You want to return to your clan, right? With Lady Lafra’s word, no one in the negative planes would dare touch you." Betty was very confident; her interactions in recent days had revealed a method to greatly uplift Lafra’s spirits.

"Chen Ze! Where’s my cola?" The door was pushed open, and Lafra, dressed in simple attire, walked in.

"Lady Lafra, welcome to the Dream Restaurant~" Betty quickly approached.

This was about her friend’s happiness, and she had to maintain the highest level of focus.

"Betty, you’ve also come early today." Lafra patted Betty’s shoulder cheerily.

"Boss, the manager is still in the kitchen cooking~" Betty whispered.

"Really, what nonsense are you spouting!" Lafra’s face instantly flushed red, and she glared at Betty.

Meanwhile, Lindsay looked on, dumbfounded, at Lafra, who was now blushing shyly. Was this the same Crimson Overlord known for her ruthlessness?
