My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 229: Chapter Eighty-Nine: Stinky Mandarin Fish

"So, was that person just now a guest?" Lafra sat on the chair, looking at Chen Ze, her laughter hearty and open.

Even though he hadn’t done anything excessive, Chen Ze inexplicably felt guilty; perhaps it was due to the oppressive nature of Lafra’s gaze.

"Yes, and then she gave me a ball," Chen Ze explained once more.

"Alright, you’ve worked hard today, my dear." To his surprise, Lafra didn’t keep asking questions, nor did she make a scene by crying, shouting, or threatening to hang herself.

She just walked over, gently adjusted Chen Ze’s clothes, and then hugged him, resting her head in his arms.

Chen Ze was a bit astonished; this was his first time being in a relationship. Are all girls like this?

This immediately improved Chen Ze’s mood, and he turned to look at Lafra, his girlfriend who was swinging her legs and drinking Coca Cola.

"Lafra, are you going to stay here tonight?" Chen Ze asked with some expectation, as he had to discuss Nina’s matter with Lafra.

"Do you have something to talk about?" Lafra looked straight at Chen Ze, fully aware of her boyfriend’s character; he rarely initiated requests for her to stay over.

"Yes, there’s a little issue. I encountered a guest yesterday, that guest was Nina..." Chen Ze took a moment to explain.

"A Chimera? Despicable humans indeed, to even lay a hand on their own flesh and blood!" Lafra seemed especially furious, her rage boiling and churning incessantly.

"Where is that beast? Let me at him; I’ll extract his soul and hand it over to my Necromancer subordinates, letting his spirit suffer the most agonizing punishments every day!" Lafra said angrily, slamming the table.

Chen Ze understood Lafra’s feelings very well; Lafra herself was a child who had suffered domestic violence, and Chen Ze also knew what Lafra’s father had done to her.

"Don’t worry, that man is certainly going to die," said Chen Ze as he scratched his head. He remembered that in both versions of Fullmetal Alchemist, Nina’s father died, the only difference being the timing.

In the 2003 version, he was hiding in the laboratory late in the story, working on impossible experiments, while in the newer version, he was killed outright.

"Hmph!" Lafra pinched her fists in anger, and then the sound of wind chimes was heard.

"Uncle Master, I’m here~" Naruto’s energetic voice came in. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Lafra then walked out with a smiling face. She was quite fond of Naruto, this child. However, regarding the damaged little fox inside him, she did not have such a good impression.

But forcibly extracting that little fox seemed like it would cause Naruto some trouble, so Lafra had always been patient.

However, the Nine-Tails was also very sensible; after Naruto entered the restaurant, it stayed very well-behaved.

"Master!" Naruto joyfully threw himself into Lafra’s arms, and Chen Ze watched with a smile.

For Naruto, Lafra was a very special existence. On one hand, Lafra was his master, teaching him the power of magic.

On the other hand, Lafra was also a caring female figure, from whom Naruto felt a motherly love he had never experienced before.

Chen Ze, of course, did not know that Lafra was already a mother, and even if he did, it would not matter. Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki had always felt they owed Naruto; having Lafra to provide that missing affection for him was also a good thing, in their view.

"Little Naruto, how are you doing with the Wind Blade Technique I taught you last time?" Lafra asked affectionately as she ruffled Naruto’s head.

Naruto blushed and dodged, then looked at Lafra with a proud expression.

"Of course, Sensei, I can already cut down small trees with the Wind Blade Technique!" Chen Ze’s mouth twitched upon hearing this. Cut down small trees?

This wasn’t really anything special, after all, the later Naruto would destroy countless saplings with a single Tailed Beast Bomb.

The key question was where was Naruto practicing this?

What if the Third Hokage...

No, he must have already seen it, right? After all, there were Anbu ninjas following him last time, and the Third Hokage definitely spied on him using the Telescope Jutsu.

"Naruto, how has life been recently, any changes?" Chen Ze couldn’t help but ask.

The current Naruto, although being a Jinchuriki, and having the legacy of The Fourth Hokage, Chen Ze was still not certain if the Hokage of Konoha would make a move.

Even a savior remains just an ordinary person before they have developed.

"Eh? Changes? Nothing much, but a girl from a big family seems to really like eating cakes here." Naruto scratched his head, the biggest change for him being that he was now well-fed.

Lafra had told him that cultivating magic also required good physical fitness, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to accumulate Magic Power.

So, Naruto had been freeloading meals recently, and Chen Ze also provided an abundance of food.

"A girl from a big family? Are her eyes white?" Chen Ze immediately thought of a certain young lady. After all, the only person who could have such a good relationship with Naruto was Hinata Hyuga.

"Hmm... Yeah, they do seem to be white." Naruto fully displayed his somewhat clueless side.

Chen Ze was a bit curious; if Hinata Hyuga was looking for Naruto, the Third Hokage must know about it, since the Hyuga Clan is a major clan in Konoha, and Hinata Hyuga is the daughter of the main house in the Hyuga family.

Hinata Hyuga wouldn’t just contact Naruto for no reason, so this must have been approved by the higher-ups.

So, what exactly was the Third Hokage thinking? Chen Ze wondered about this, but it probably wasn’t anything bad, or Naruto definitely wouldn’t have been able to come.

"Naruto, would you like to try a unique dish?" Chen Ze looked towards Naruto, recalling a recipe he had seen for a rather unique dish while checking his groceries before.

"Eh? Master-in-law, what kind of dish is it?" Naruto instantly became interested, as being well-fed was a very happy thing for him.

"Well... it smells a bit funky, but it tastes really good," Chen Ze stroked his chin.

"Great! I want to try it!" Naruto trusted Chen Ze’s cooking skills completely.

Chen Ze smiled and nodded, then went to the kitchen, leaving Lafra to explain the essence of magic to Naruto.

This time, Chen Ze planned to make a stinky mandarin fish, a widely known dish that smelled a bit odd to some. Those who didn’t like it, wouldn’t take to it.

Just like luosifen, those who enjoy it could eat it every day, but those who dislike it would feel nauseated just by the smell.

Although Chen Ze didn’t eat fish, he still planned on making it, as such a dish seemed very interesting to him.
