Chapter 384: Chapter 244: Raising the Flag High
"It looks like I still can’t let Lafra watch those colorfully artistic anime." Chen Ze shook his head, still feeling somewhat trembled when he thought about what happened yesterday.
The face that Lafra made, it initially scared Chen Ze, but then he realized, wasn’t that the terrifying expression from "Trinity Seven"?
Chen Ze yawned and walked downstairs to unlock the door. Lafra had returned home last night; it seemed there was some sort of emergency she had to deal with.
However, before leaving, Lafra had forcibly pinned Chen Ze down on the bed and smeared a brownish liquid all over his body, then instructed Chen Ze to maintain his posture and not move.
"But I couldn’t move even if I wanted to!" Chen Ze severely complained in his mind at the time.
After the brownish liquid was applied, it solidified like amber, effectively encasing Chen Ze within it.
Not to mention, after Lafra left, Chen Ze suddenly felt an urgent need to use the bathroom, a sensation of his bladder about to burst that was almost unbearable.
If it weren’t for Chen Ze’s quick thinking to use a Magic Circle to get the Quadruple Speed Slate that Hastur had given him, he might have actually exploded.
Otherwise, he would have had to visit an urologist.
"I hope for some normal customers today," Chen Ze stretched and stood in the restaurant, checking his appearance in the mirror and straightening his outfit.
The next second, with the sound of the Wind Chime, Chen Ze saw the restaurant door being pushed open behind him.
Then, four guys with black orbs entered.
Chen Ze silently watched the four through the mirror, then looked down to adjust his chef’s uniform once more and saw them swaying.
"...Gentlemen, did you walk into the wrong place?" Chen Ze’s mouth twitched. He knew he shouldn’t have said anything earlier; that had just jinxed it.
"This isn’t my uncle’s house, Senior, did you guys bring me to the wrong place?" Kitahara Iori’s face was flushed with drunkenness.
"Kitahara, are you drunk? Ha... This place... Uh... Isn’t it the bathroom?" Imamura Kouhei swayed as he spoke, making Chen Ze’s mouth twitch even more.
"Damn it, stop!" Chen Ze roared with anger, filling the Dream Restaurant with his outburst.
A little later, Chen Ze looked at the four men sitting in chairs and couldn’t help shaking his head. He was flabbergasted, how had these four turned up so early in the morning? freёwebnoѵel.com
Characters from the comedic anime "Grand Blue," Kitahara Iori, Imamura Kouhei, and two seniors.
Chen Ze quite liked watching "Grand Blue"; it was particularly funny and interesting, and the color art was also quite good.
Although it was branded as a diving anime, there were barely any diving scenes; one might say it’s an OP deceit.
Chen Ze just hadn’t thought that the arrival of these four customers would cause such a stomachache.
"So, what would you gentlemen like to eat?" Chen Ze sighed, torn between hoping Betty would come in and not wanting her to.
His feelings were extremely conflicted.
"Burp... Then... Just give me some chestnut rice!" Kitahara Iori raised his hand, the smell of alcohol wafting forcefully.
"Kitahara, to drink! Drinking is the right path to take!" Kotobuki Senior slapped Kitahara’s shoulder.
"Right, right, booze!" Imamura chimed in as well.
Chen Ze hesitated for a moment. Selling alcohol wasn’t out of the question, after all, he had plenty of liquor here, and any kind would do, be it spirits or beer.
And for this group known as the Diving Society, which was actually a group of naked drunkards, even 96-proof Water of Life was guzzled casually, and anything less potent might not satisfy them.
"Manager, I’m here..." Betty chirped as she pushed the door open, then she froze in place.
"Sorry for the interruption," Betty said, ready to close the door again.
"Hurry in and help," Chen Ze said, looking at Betty with annoyance.
In just that brief moment, all four of these guys had collapsed on the table.
Chen Ze had no choice but to use the Magic Circle to throw them out while having Betty come in to wipe the table.
"Manager, why are these customers so... perverted?" Betty asked, wiping the table with a puzzled face, having smelled a strong scent of alcohol upon arrival, which was suffocating.
"How would I know?" Chen Ze rolled his eyes. It couldn’t really be because of that flag he just set, right? Impossible?
"Seeing this first thing in the morning is not good for my young soul," Betty said with a pout.
"I’ll make you some buns to eat later," Chen Ze immediately exposed Betty’s true motive.
"Hehe, Manager is so nice," Betty said, her face lighting up with excitement.
Chen Ze returned to the kitchen to continue making Goubuli buns according to the recipe. Soma Yukihira should be coming soon.
But by 8:30, Chen Ze still hadn’t seen Soma Yukihira, which puzzled him.
"What’s going on?" Chen Ze frowned in confusion.
Usually, Soma Yukihira was rarely late, and after the training camp, there should be nothing else. The autumn selection would also have to wait a bit longer.
"He must be talking to his dad, right?" Chen Ze felt that this possibility was very high, especially since he had said before that he wanted Joichiro Yukihira to come and instruct.
"Welcome to Dream Restaurant, dear guest~" Betty’s voice entered the kitchen, interrupting Chen Ze’s thoughts.
"New customers?" Chen Ze poked his head out to take a look, then saw a man wearing a purple leather suit, with white makeup on his face.
"A restaurant? Oh~ what a strange place," the man licked his lips, with a scar on each side of his mouth and red lipstick, it looked as though he was always smiling. frёewebηovel.cѳm
"Yes, sir, what would you like to eat?" Betty asked with a smile.
"Hmm... I think I need a Bat Soup~" Joker sat down, twirling a pen in his hand.
Chen Ze couldn’t help covering his face. It seemed that one really shouldn’t jinx things so carelessly. First, it was the fruit men from Grand Blue, and now it’s turned into the Joker.
And judging by the man’s attire and makeup, Chen Ze recognized this Joker from "Batman – The Dark Knight."
It was the Joker with loads of fans, and Chen Ze also liked the actor who played the Joker, but meeting him in real life was something else.
However, it was a relief that this was his own restaurant, so Chen Ze was quite confident about his own safety.
"Sorry, sir, our restaurant does not serve Bat Soup," Chen Ze came out and explained with a smile.
What a joke, at a time like this, you dare to order Bat Soup?
This all started with a certain bat, you know, these days drinking Bat Soup is just asking for death.
"Oh? No Bat Soup? Then just bring me whatever," Joker looked up, gazing intently at Chen Ze.
