My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Is It Really Okay for a Succubus to Be a Waitress?

"Master, I am very satisfied with the meal, it was the best food I have ever had." Betty lifted her head to look at Chen Ze, sensing that he was probably about to make his move.

After all, she knew that eating at a restaurant meant having to pay the bill.

"So, the bill must be paid, right?" Betty switched to a seductive tone and expression.

Chen Ze was at his wit’s end; he couldn’t communicate with this corrupted succubus.

"Can I pay with myself~"

Chen Ze felt like he was about to explode.

"Hold on, you’re moving too fast! You’ve splattered your tires on my face, damn it!" Chen Ze pushed away Betty, who was trying to embrace him, and forcefully pressed her back into the chair.

"Let me say it again, this is a legitimate restaurant, don’t start any trouble. The cost of the meal can be paid with Gold Coins, silver coins, or even knowledge or ingredients, but there is absolutely no way of paying with ’oneself’ here," Chen Ze shook his head, having no such intentions.

Betty looked at Chen Ze in astonishment; she could vaguely sense that he was serious, that he truly had no such plans.

"So, do you have any Gold Coins or silver coins?" freewebnøvel.com

"No..." Betty hung her head; slaves didn’t have such things.

"Then, how about knowledge?" Chen Ze asked, immediately feeling it was a silly question—a succubus, clearly a slave, in possession of knowledge?

Indeed, Betty gave him a very strange look. "I have some... but I think you wouldn’t want it."

Chen Ze quickly waved his hands, "No, no, please don’t say what you know. I really don’t want to hear it."

Chen Ze expressed his complete disinterest in that set of feudal knowledge.

"Ingredients..." Chen Ze stroked his chin, sizing up Betty. He felt that it didn’t seem like she had any ingredients on her.

Although she had a tail, small wings, and a pair of tiny horns, Chen Ze couldn’t possibly ask Betty to give these to him as ingredients; that crossed his line.

After a long deliberation, Chen Ze had no choice but to give up on collecting the meal fee, as Betty’s eyes were filled with the implication, "So, I still have to pay with myself after all."

Chen Ze didn’t want to be a scumbag.

"Sigh, forget it, consider it my treat this time, just bring the corresponding fee next time you come," Chen Ze shook his head, now forced to choose between being a scumbag and being a good person, a ruthlessly cruel choice.

Betty looked confused; she didn’t understand what she needed to do now.

"Aren’t you going back? Just open that door, and you’ll be back to where you came from," Chen Ze thought she didn’t know how to leave and kindly explained.

"Go back..." Betty glanced at the door, a wave of fear welling up inside her.

Abandoned by her kind, captured by human Capture Teams, tormented at the hands of that old human man—Betty still longed for freedom, for a life other than the more terrifying one than any battlefield.

Betty hesitated, looking down at her own legs, long and fair with traces of whip marks, as well as the shackles that imprisoned her.

She began to wonder why she had opened that seemingly strange door, knowing full well that walking through such an advanced Magic Portal could spell doom, possibly being torn to shreds by brutal spatial turbulence.

Yet, she had opened the door without looking back, stepping inside; facing death seemed less terrifying than living without a future in such a place.

And now, in this spacious yet slightly odd place, where this human didn’t demand of her anything against her will, Betty felt an inexplicable sense of peace.

Compared to here, the place before must have been Hell.

Chen Ze frowned as he watched Betty, who seemed lost in thought. He suspected the succubus might want another serving, but the thought of offering another complimentary dish of Moonlight Bear’s braised pork to a succubus still troubled him.

"Can I... not go back?" Betty’s eyes widened as she looked at Chen Ze. She was trembling.

"It wasn’t easy... escaping from that place. I don’t want to go back there, don’t want to step into Hell again..." Chen Ze could hear the fear in Betty’s voice.

However, what Chen Ze was thinking was, "Aren’t succubi supposed to live in Hell?"

Then it dawned on Chen Ze what the succubus in front of him meant.

"Eh?" Chen Ze stared at Betty, stunned.

Betty hung her head, thinking Chen Ze’s lack of response meant he wanted her to leave. After all, it was already too much that she had eaten without paying, and now she wanted to stay in someone else’s restaurant. She felt she was being very unreasonable.

Tears uncontrollably slipped from her eyes, falling onto the floor. Although she expected this outcome, Betty felt unexplainably sad.

Chen Ze was a bit flustered; he was increasingly confused by the current situation. Why was Betty crying? He didn’t understand at all and was not adept at dealing with crying girls.

Even though Betty was a succubus, Chen Ze still treated her like an ordinary girl.

But it seemed there was a solution. Chen Ze remembered what he had told Chen Xingchen before; he indeed had plans to hire a waitress, and the person in front of him looked like a good candidate.

Chen Ze thought about what Betty had said and recalled the scars on her legs, leading him to heave a sigh.

"Sigh, no wonder I’m often told I’m too nice," Chen Ze shook his head as he passed a packet of tissues to her.

"So, do you want to work here? Room and board are included but it’s going to be tough. You’ll have to do the dishes and clean, and for now, you can’t leave this restaurant," Chen Ze scratched his head, planning to consult with Stan and Sebastian later to see if they could solve Betty’s problems.

Moreover, Chen Ze did not know when the Magic Portal might automatically send Betty back.

Betty looked up, and Chen Ze saw her eyes were bloodshot.

So the eyes of demons turn red when they cry too... Chen Ze’s thoughts wandered off again. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Betty wiped her tears, stood up, and announced, "I’ll work hard! Master! Whether it’s cleaning or washing dishes, please leave it to me!"

"...I’ve already said it! Don’t call me Master! Call me the manager here!" Chen Ze was too weary to retort.

Betty let out a chuckle.

"You find that funny?" Chen Ze looked at Betty with a hollow gaze, feeling annoyed.

"No no no, it’s not funny, Manager," Betty wiped the corner of her eye and picked up the leftover plates, heading into the kitchen.

Looking at her suddenly energetic eyes, Chen Ze felt that this might be a good choice after all, considering a waitress was eventually needed.

"By the way, Manager, do you need me to warm your bed tonight?" Betty turned back and blinked at Chen Ze.

"Get out! No, I don’t need that!" Chen Ze’s face turned red with anger.

"Pfft~" Betty looked at the flushed Chen Ze and laughed heartily.

And so, Chen Ze gained his first waitress—Succubus Betty.
