My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 262: Chapter 122 Lafra’s Thousand-Layer Schemes

Chen Ze took a deep breath, the first Texas smoked chicken he made was probably ready to come out of the pot soon, and that made him a bit excited.

After all, it was the first Texas smoked chicken he had made, and it was a dish of reasonable difficulty; Chen Ze was a bit curious about how many points the System would give it.

Chen Ze took out his phone and glanced at the time; it was already past nine. He planned to have the Texas smoked chicken with Lafra and then go buy Betty’s bread slices before opening for business.

He had promised Betty yesterday, after all, and Chen Ze did not want to be gazed at with her innocent and pitiful eyes—it was simply too stomach-churning.

"It smells so good." Lafra propped her chin, her stomach rumbling with hunger, especially after catching that scent, she felt even hungrier.

"I wonder what he’s making..." Lafra caressed the ring on her finger, slightly lost in thought.

Lafra remembered her Head Maid, the Banshee with the strength of a ninth tier.

After receiving Betty’s message yesterday, Lafra had prepared to come directly to see Naruto, but of course, the main reason was to meet with Chen Ze.

Just as she had stepped out, passing by the Head Maid’s rest room, she saw her Head Maid smiling while holding a knife and looking at her own Knight Commander.

This made Lafra curious; after all, she knew her Head Maid well, knowing she was the kind who rarely got angry, an exceptionally gentle and considerate being. freeweɓnøvel.com

In the entire Bloody Castle, aside from Lafra herself, the being that all the other intelligent creatures loved and trusted the most was her Head Maid.

"Who is she?" The Head Maid asked with a smile, and if one didn’t see the knife in her hand, one might think she was whispering sweet nothings to a lover.

"It’s just... I was only talking to her about treasures," the Death Knight Commander swallowed hard, though he didn’t actually have the function to do so.

"Oh?" The Head Maid smiled even more sweetly, tenderly taking the Knight Commander’s hand, coyly leaning onto him like a demure bird nestling close.

The Knight Commander panicked even more; he could see the knife flickering indistinctly, making it impossible for him to fathom the thoughts of his lover.

"Well... why is there another scent on you~?" The Head Maid raised her head, looking directly into the Knight Commander’s eyes.

"Because I had to go to Abyss City, so..." The Knight Commander explained even more quickly.

"Why! Why! I love you so much! And yet you do this! Who is she, you heartless cheat!" The Head Maid collapsed, screaming hoarsely, the Banshee’s wailing constantly activated.

The Knight Commander trembled all over. Though he was also a professional of the ninth tier, enduring innate magic spells at such close quarters was worse than dealing with the hypocrites from the Church of Light.

Lafra was a bit dazed; she could sense the presence of other intelligent beings and some of their inner thoughts.

So in this moment, she knew very clearly that her Head Maid, who seemed to be breaking down in tears, wasn’t crying at all.

"Jane."

"Master, your command?"

"Why is it that after being with Anthony for so long, even when you occasionally part, you still end up together?"

"Master, it’s because I am a nightmare disguised as a beautiful dream."

In that moment, Lafra understood her Head Maid’s past words more deeply.

"Lafra?" Chen Ze shook his girlfriend’s shoulder, unsure of what she was thinking about, as she was zoning out.

"Huh?" Lafra suddenly became alert.

"Come on, have something to eat." Chen Ze said with a smile, sitting down and pushing a bowl of rice towards Lafra.

"Okay~," Lafra laughed like the first flower of spring just blooming.

Chen Ze looked at the Texas-style grilled chicken in front of him, the corner of his mouth twitching. Why did he always feel that the breakfast he ate was increasingly abnormal?

Chen Ze picked up the grilled chicken, gave it a gentle tug, and the chicken bones separated cleanly from the meat with a rich aroma wafting out that smelled incredibly good.

It was indeed a fine dish.

"This dish, the bones and meat separate very easily," said Lafra as she picked up a piece of chicken with her chopsticks and gently took a bite.

The taste was fantastic, really delicious, with the flavor of many spices and the chicken was cooked to perfection; Lafra couldn’t help but take another bite.

Chen Ze was also very satisfied. The Texas-style grilled chicken was a classic dish from the Shandong cuisine, its flavor truly unmatched, though the preparation was a bit of a hassle.

But for such delicious food, Chen Ze thought that even if it took some time, it was definitely worth it.

"When will you take me to meet your parents?" Lafra asked abruptly after wiping her mouth with a napkin.

"Pfft..." Chen Ze nearly spat out a mouthful of blood, then violently patted his chest as he had almost choked.

"What... cough cough, why did you suddenly ask that?" Chen Ze was a bit stunned. Weren’t they just eating Texas-style grilled chicken a moment ago?

How did it suddenly change to meeting parents?

"You gave me a ring," Lafra lifted her hand where the Rune Words sparkled brightly on her finger.

"Ah, but that... I think maybe we need a bit more time to prepare..." Chen Ze was a bit nervous.

Marriage was on the cards, but the problem was how to meet the parents, and that was indeed a question.

Chen Ze felt a bit of a stomachache. After all, meeting parents was not something one did casually.

Chen Ze had no idea how to explain to his own parents about Lafra, or about his restaurant.

"Dad, let me tell you, I own a restaurant in the city center, but it only serves customers from other worlds, such as... Dad? Why are you calling the psychiatric hospital?"

Or perhaps. freewёbnoνel.com

"Mom, I’ve found a girlfriend, and I’m planning to marry her, so I need you two to check her out... Yes, she’s a female, alive, and she moves... No, she’s not a doll!"

Chen Ze could already imagine his parents’ reaction to this news, which would likely be very much on the mark as he had a hunch.

Moreover, since Lafra was a vampire, what would normally be a challenge of ordinary difficulty had escalated to hellish difficulty due to her identity and the nature of the restaurant.

As Chen Ze was about to say something, he saw Lafra’s expression, filled with disappointment and sorrow, a tear hanging at the corner of her eye.

"We’ll meet them after some time!" Chen Ze blurted out immediately.

"Then, dear, I’ll do the dishes~," Lafra instantly beamed a smile.

Chen Ze was baffled. How did things suddenly turn out this way?

Lafra turned her head to look at Chen Ze and made a silly face, "neh neh neh~"

Seeing Chen Ze still looking bewildered, Lafra laughed even more joyfully, her entire ghostly mood brightened.
