Chapter 375: Chapter 235 Gourmet Tide
Ronna noticed Nyarlathotep, after all, he looked exceptionally handsome, and it always seemed that his eyes contained a starry sky.
"Big brother, do you weave flowers?" Ronna hesitated for a moment but still mustered the courage to approach him.
Betty was stunned, and for an instant, she didn’t grasp what had happened, how Ronna just walked over to Nyarlathotep?
Chen Ze, on the other hand, didn’t mind, since Nyarlathotep was in the restaurant, he probably wouldn’t care much about the other customers—except Hastur, Ronna might be the first customer Nyarlathotep had ever seen.
Nyarlathotep turned his head, looking at Ronna with interest, his dark brown pupils staring straight at the little girl who dared to come close to him.
"Your heartbeat is very fast, are you afraid?" Nyarlathotep did not stand up, just sat in his chair.
"Eh?" Ronna blinked in confusion, not understanding why she should be afraid, when it was clearly curiosity that brought her over.
"..." Nyarlathotep calmly observed the little girl in front of him, until Betty brought over a plate of skewers and placed it in front of him.
Nyarlathotep turned back, no longer looking at Ronna, and instead focused on eating the dish Chen Ze had prepared for him.
The spicy flavor, combined with the unique taste of roasted sheep’s eyes, satisfied Nyarlathotep, who nodded approvingly. He licked his lips; the taste of the roasted sheep eyes suited His palate well.
Ronna returned to her seat, trying hard to sit up straight, but her gaze occasionally drifted towards Nyarlathotep, feasting on the skewers. Noticing him turn, she would immediately lower her head, her fingers interlocking.
Chen Ze watched this scene from the kitchen with amusement, unable to deny Ronna looked especially adorable, just like a child sneaking snacks.
"Betty, take Ronna’s pizza out," said Chen Ze, clapping his hands as the pizza was ready.
Chen Ze had planned to make something for Ronna to eat, but he noticed her gaze; the curious little girl was clearly interested in Nyarlathotep.
Curiosity is good, but one must also discriminate who the object of curiosity is. If it’s Nyarlathotep, He’s not a suitable subject.
Even a mere direct glance at these indescribable beings could completely shatter Ronna’s mental state, not to mention Nyarlathotep’s whispers.
Chen Ze even worried a bit that Ronna might have begun to develop inappropriate feelings for the physically attractive Nyarlathotep.
A domineering Outer God falling in love with me is nonexistent. At least, Chen Ze didn’t think Nyarlathotep was interested in Ronna, unless Nyarlathotep intended to experience life and tease the little girl.
"Ronna, you’re welcome to come again," Betty said as she delivered the pizza to Ronna, squatting down with a smile to stroke her head.
"Okay..." Ronna stole another glance at Nyarlathotep, bit her lip, and then slowly left the restaurant.
Chen Ze’s lips twitched, seeing Ronna’s expression which resembled the heart-fluttering moments from romance games.
"You sure have a lot of charm," Chen Ze remarked as he came out, looking ironically at Nyarlathotep, who was serenely sitting and eating his skewers.
"Mortals are always attracted to appearances, how pitiful," Nyarlathotep said as he picked up a skewer of enoki mushrooms and dipped it in chili sauce before eating it.
"What you said is indeed a fact," Chen Ze shrugged his shoulders, then brought out another plate of barbecue, this one much more normal with potatoes, zucchinis, and some tofu.
These were some of Chen Ze’s favorite foods. Potatoes could be cooked to one’s liking, either crispier or softer.
But the baby melon shouldn’t be roasted for too long; otherwise, the flavor will become unappealing—that’s Chen Ze’s learned advice.
"Speaking of which, what exactly do you want me to do?" Nyarlathotep lifted his head and looked at Chen Ze.
"A game. Have you seen it at Hastur’s? It’s called Hearthstone." Chen Ze immediately explained.
"Hearthstone? I’ve seen Him play it a few times, but I’m not very interested. I’m currently researching anti-matter cannons." Nyarlathotep replied, unbothered, and took a sip of Thunderbrew Lager.
"However, if it’s a request from you, I can take a look." Nyarlathotep set down the Thunderbrew Lager, his mouth rimmed with white foam.
"Right, and there’s also the Hearthstone I want. It’d be best if it’s like the one on computers, because playing with physical cards is too cumbersome," Chen Ze remembered the game he had played with Betty, playing in reality is too inconvenient; you have to calculate health points.
Plus, many mechanisms are difficult to deal with, like the Priest’s ability to discover and copy the opponent’s cards— in reality, you have to find a new card for the player, which is really tiring.
"That’s possible, but it will take some time, after all, I need to set up interdimensional internet," Nyarlathotep said lightly. It seemed like such a task was indeed no challenge for Him.
"Thanks a lot for that. By the way, are you interested in sci-fi novels?" Chen Ze suddenly thought of his copy of "Three-Body" laid out in his upstairs bedroom.
"Sci-fi novels? Show me," Nyarlathotep raised his head, his face revealing an interested expression.
"Sure, but you have to finish what I want first." Chen Ze nodded. Three-Body was just upstairs, always available to give to Nyarlathotep.
However, Chen Ze decided to get it in hand before anything else, otherwise, if Nyarlathotep read Three-Body, who knows if He would focus on researching the two-dimensional foil.
"Tch, fine." Nyarlathotep pouted, then opened his mouth and stuffed all the barbecue into it, followed by finishing the remaining Thunderbrew Lager in one gulp.
"I’ve finished eating. I’ll bring what you want next time. I’ll ask you if there are any questions." Nyarlathotep seemed in a hurry. He stood up and wiped his mouth but turned back to place a black stone on the table.
"I made that with stuff from The Kingdom of God." Nyarlathotep dropped this comment and hurried out.
Chen Ze looked at the clean plate, his mouth twitching. So, all these beings could easily devour everything he made in one go?
Chen Ze shook his head and picked up the stone Nyarlathotep had given him.
"The Kingdom of God?" Chen Ze looked at the stone in his hand and couldn’t sense any aura of The Kingdom of God from it.

Chen Ze paused and then nodded immediately.

Chen Ze rubbed his nose, having been muddled again.
