Chapter 154: Chapter 14 Lafra’s Offensive
"Lindsay, eh? Poor little Succubus, just go back to your clan." After hearing Betty’s request, Lafra nodded. This was, after all, a simple matter for her.
"Thank you, Lady Lafra!" Betty bowed deeply with joy.
"Lafra, here’s your cola for today." Chen Ze brought out a case of cola.
"I want cake." Lafra looked at Chen Ze, her hands clasped behind her back.
"Eh? Okay, then I’ll make one for you." Chen Ze appraised Lafra up and down and then nodded, heading into the kitchen.
A piece of cake was nothing much; though Chen Ze had never baked those large cream cakes, his skill at making desserts could now be described as masterful, so a cake was not going to be too difficult for him.
"This Necromancer!" Lafra stamped her foot in anger. Today’s outfit was specially chosen by her, not her usual favorite red, but a sky-blue dress.
How could this unemotional Necromancer remain unmoved?
Lafra felt that even the most old-fashioned Necromancer would have praised her for her exceptional beauty today, yet Chen Ze was more of a Necromancer than even a Necromancer!
Chen Ze stood in the kitchen, waiting for the cake to bake; after all, without the main body of the cake, there was no use in spreading the cream.
"Maybe try sculpting." Chen Ze shook his head, casting out all the stray thoughts in his mind, and then he started carving a piece of chocolate.
Chen Ze planned to sculpt Lafra. Since it was Lafra who ordered the cake, she would probably be very happy if he sculpted her. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Once the cake was baked, Chen Ze had a bowl of chocolate in front of him.
"Failed, huh... It seems that even if I’m much better with my hands, these kinds of handcrafts like sculpting are still not my thing?" Chen Ze sighed. Since it was a failure, he decided to melt the chocolate and use it to cover the cake.
After a while, a very simple cake was ready.
The soft cake, sweet chocolate sauce, and fluffy cream all looked so appetizing.
It was rather plain, though. Chen Ze admitted to himself that he didn’t have the skill to make cream decorations, so he didn’t attempt it and just made a big cream cake instead.
"Add some fruit, perhaps? I remember Lafra likes red." Chen Ze took a box of strawberries out of the refrigerator.
Looking at the box of 10 strawberries, Chen Ze’s mouth twitched. He thought he must have been out of his mind when he bought such overly packaged strawberries.
Each strawberry was sealed in cling film, but each one was of an excellent quality.
Chen Ze carried the strawberries out, where Betty was doing the dishes. He didn’t really want to ask Betty to help carry them.
As soon as Chen Ze walked out, he saw Lafra, who was lying on the table asleep, her hands stacked together on the table, revealing just a small part of the left side of her face, looking exceptionally cute.
Chen Ze glanced around the dining room; Betty’s companion was not here. It seemed that she had probably gone back.
Chen Ze tiptoed and placed the cake on Lafra’s table. Today’s Lafra looked exceptionally cute in her sky-blue dress, which complemented her fair complexion.
Chen Ze felt his heart skip a beat, unexpectedly.
Chen Ze checked his phone; the cake had taken an hour to make, no wonder Lafra had fallen asleep while waiting.
"Lafra?" Chen Ze gently pushed Lafra’s shoulder.
"Hmm..." Lafra made a cute breathing sound.
"" Chen Ze silently watched Lafra, her long eyelashes, her delicate features.
Chen Ze abruptly shook his head. What was he even thinking?
"Lafra?" Chen Ze nudged Lafra again.
This time, Lafra woke up, slowly opening her eyes with a sleepy, cute look.
"Hmm... Chen Ze?" Lafra looked a bit confused after waking up.
Then, Lafra threw herself into Chen Ze’s arms, grabbing his clothes, and fell back to sleep.
Chen Ze looked at Lafra with a mix of amusement and exasperation. Had this vampire been up all night for several nights in a row? How could she fall asleep standing?
"Lafra, wake up," Chen Ze nudged Lafra again.
Lafra made no movement at all, but Chen Ze felt her face press even tighter against him.
Was she refusing to get out of bed? Chen Ze had a sense of déjà vu, similar to calling his little sister to wake up for school.
"Lafra..." Chen Ze sighed, gently nudging Lafra again. Betty was still there, and it was inevitable that other customers would come in soon. How could he explain this if they saw them?
If word got out that the restaurant’s manager had a thing for little girls, it would be terrifying.
"I... I’m not sleeping, you know..." Lafra mumbled quietly, catching Chen Ze off guard.
At the same time, Chen Ze felt Lafra nuzzle her cheek against his chest.
Lafra... she wasn’t sleeping?
Chen Ze’s brain seemed to crash. He had never been this close to a girl... no, a girl other than family, before.
Chen Ze felt as though his mind had short-circuited.
"Manager~" Betty cried out cheerfully as she rushed out. She had just wanted to ask Chen Ze about the white thing he was carrying.
Then Betty froze, looking at the scene in the living room and Lafra’s murderous gaze.
This is it, I’m not making it out of here today.
Betty immediately understood the situation and her precarious position, along with the intent behind Lafra’s threatening look.
Betty felt like those villains in anime who suddenly interrupt the main characters right before a confession. If there were comments floating across the screen, she’d likely see various fundraising efforts to get rid of this succubus.
Betty silently retreated to the kitchen, obediently continuing to wash dishes.
As for the plate that had already been washed several times? That didn’t exist in her mind. Betty felt she had been quantum dishwashing; the plate was still in a superposition of being both clean and not clean.
It needed Betty’s washing to determine its state.
"Laf... Lafra, how is the cake?" Chen Ze felt a bit awkward. After Betty came in, he had realized what was happening.
Now, with the current scene, Chen Ze didn’t know what to say. His emotions were a mess, and his thoughts were racing.
"It’s delicious..." Lafra said, looking down with her face exceptionally red, the blush spreading to the roots of her ears.
Lafra likes me? That was Chen Ze’s first reaction, for a girl wouldn’t just cuddle you for no reason, unless you owed her money.
If Lafra really liked me, what should I do? This was Chen Ze’s second reaction.
It can’t be denied, Lafra was pretty, cute, and even adorably charming.
Although she liked to step on his feet, which was kind of violent, she was still incredibly cute.
