My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 329: Chapter 189 Izakaya

"Divine Being, we have finished eating," Shi Hua said respectfully as she cleaned up the dishes and put them in the kitchen.

"Actually, you didn’t need to do that, it’s my job," Betty said, a bit speechless. She had planned to clear the dishes herself but didn’t expect Takanashi Tooka to be even faster.

If it were the snowy season, Betty would definitely ask loudly, "Why are you so skilled at this!" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"Sorry, Miss Betty, I used to help in the kitchen, so I couldn’t help but clean up when I saw the dishes," Takanashi Tooka said apologetically, looking at Betty. It really was a bit of a habit for her.

On the other hand, Takanashi Tooka also wanted to show her respect even more, to show her respect for the Divine Being.

"You are too polite," Chen Ze said, not minding at all since he didn’t expect to gain anything from Takanashi Tooka and Takanashi Rikka.

"Divine Being, I would like to ask you for something," Takanashi Tooka said tentatively, looking at Chen Ze. She didn’t know whether she should ask Chen Ze for a favor, as to most people, a Divine Being is someone exalted and untouchable.

"Sigh, I’m really not a Divine Being... Anyway, what is it?" Chen Ze, seeing her look of understanding, reluctantly gave in.

After all, if he let her imagination run wild, who knows what Takanashi Tooka might imagine? Chen Ze didn’t want to unnecessarily increase his troubles.

Next, Chen Ze agreed to Takanashi Tooka’s request and also reached an agreement with Takanashi Rikka, or rather, a request from the Divine Being.

"Shi Hua... Sister, did you talk to the Divine Being about something?" On the way home, Takanashi Rikka looked gloomily at Takanashi Tooka.

"I didn’t say anything. You know, that’s the Divine Being, who can ask anything of him?" Takanashi Tooka ruffled her sister’s hair and prepared to head home in a cheerful mood.

"Sigh, I don’t know why the Divine Being would do this, when I clearly have mastered the true divine spell," Takanashi Rikka muttered gloomily. How long had it been since she had called this person ’Sister’?

But after all, it was the request of the Divine Being, so Takanashi Rikka still chose to obey.

"Hmph, someday, I will once again earn the Divine Being’s recognition!" Takanashi Rikka was full of determination.

Chen Ze rubbed his chin, wondering why he always felt like someone was talking about him. Was this probably an illusion?

"Boss, Boss!" Betty called out loudly.

"What’s up?" Chen Ze walked out of the kitchen looking confused. Weren’t there no more customers? What was Betty calling out for?

"Look, this seems to be the payment left by a customer," Betty said as she handed over a small box adorned with odd gemstones. However, Chen Ze could tell at a glance that these were fakes.

Ordinary craftwork, just made to look like gemstones, but the price was not at that level. And Chen Ze recognized the cartoon character on the box, knowing who had left it.

"Rikka, huh? Wonder what she left for me," Chen Ze said as he opened the lid. Inside was a piece of chocolate, not finely made, even a bit rough.

Chen Ze picked it up and saw a sentence written on it with something golden.

"Unspeakable gratitude..." Chen Ze read softly and then took a bite.

It was very sweet, the taste of chocolate, and Chen Ze could taste that the chocolate was not made with high-quality ingredients, the sweetness was extremely intense, almost cloying.

"Boss, is that good?" Betty swallowed, feeling that what the boss was eating must be tasty.

"It’s quite tasty," Chen Ze smiled and took another bite, swallowing slowly, but it was just too cloying.

"Manager, do you have any unique dishes today?" came the sound of wind chimes and Ainz Ooal Gown’s voice.

"Welcome to Dream Restaurant, honorable guest," Betty immediately greeted him and poured Ainz Ooal Gown a glass of cola with a smile.

Yes, Ainz Ooal Gown preferred cola, never having ordered anything else to drink.

"Akatsuki, today the restaurant is offering Thunderbrew Lager. Would you like to try some?" Chen Ze walked out with a smile, remembering that Japanese people do enjoy their beer.

"Thunderbrew Lager? What’s that?" Akatsuki was a bit puzzled; he had never heard of it before.

"It’s a type of malt beer, similar to beer," Chen Ze explained. He had tried the Thunderbrew Lager himself and indeed, it was quite similar to beer.

"Eh? Then bring me one, along with a curry tonkatsu rice... and..." Akatsuki’s eyes lit up for a moment. He missed beer, and even more so, the days when he used to drink with friends.

"Miso soup, right?" Chen Ze looked at Akatsuki with a smile.

"Mhm," Akatsuki nodded his head.

Chen Ze returned to the kitchen, took out a portion of medium-spicy Japanese curry powder, and began to prepare the curry tonkatsu rice.

"Betty, come in and prepare the malt beer for Akatsuki," Chen Ze called Betty over, having previously told her where the malt beer and Elizabeth were located.

"OK, Manager," Betty walked in and took a large glass.

"Remember to pour it straight so it gets more foam," Chen Ze reminded Betty.

"Huh?" Betty was a bit confused; she remembered Chen Ze had said before that there should be less foam in malt beer.

"Just do as I say," Chen Ze didn’t explain further, then turned his head back to continue chopping potatoes and carrots.

"Oh wow! Beer! The foamy kind!" Akatsuki exclaimed excitedly at the sight of the large glass of malt beer.

Chen Ze took a glance around the restaurant; he felt the magical fluctuation and then waved his hand to ward off the magic fluctuation.

"Hm? The ’Forced Calm’ didn’t trigger?" Akatsuki was a bit puzzled but didn’t care much about it since he had previously used ’Total Rage,’ which could negate that effect.

"Foamy beer..." Akatsuki took a big gulp from the glass. The thick foam and the familiar taste, albeit this drink was a bit more stimulating, made him feel like something was pricking in his mouth.

"The familiar taste..." Akatsuki felt transported back to the past, to the days when he was a corporate drone.

Back then, what he looked forward to most was going to the izakaya with his friends after work, having some bites, and an ice cold beer—a supreme bliss.

Speaking of izakayas...

"Manager, do you have any snacks that go well with alcohol?" Akatsuki immediately stood up. With such beer, it’d be a wasted opportunity not to have some perfect pairings, wouldn’t it?
