My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 406: Chapter 266: Pretty Good, But...

The atmosphere in the Dream Restaurant was incredibly awkward. Chen Ze even felt that the air in the entire restaurant had become silent, which probably resembled the feeling of being a student who skipped school to go to an internet café, only to be caught by their parents right in the act.

"Hastur, Nyarlathotep." Sotos was a mass of fog, within which countless figures seemed to be moving, and a nameless fear with a strong sense of madness swept through the entire restaurant.

However, it was of no use. In this restaurant, Chen Ze’s Magic Circle was invincible, so he still stood there calmly.

But for Hastur and Nyarlathotep, the atmosphere wasn’t so friendly. Chen Ze could even see a bead of sweat on Hastur’s forehead, which surprised him. Did Hastur actually sweat?

"Lord Sotos...this...I can explain," Hastur said with a forced smile that was so awkward Chen Ze could hardly bear to look directly at him.

"Hmm, explain what? Explain how after you came to this world you were sealed by a bunch of ant-like natives, and once you finally escaped, you started to get addicted to the games on Earth?" Sotos materialized into a human shape, causing the corners of Chen Ze’s mouth to twitch.

Why did Sotos morph into Cristiano Ronaldo?

Seeing the president in front of him, Chen Ze felt the urge to ask for an autograph, even though he wasn’t a Real Madrid fan, but it was still exciting to see Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Or are you going to explain how you secretly drilled a hole in the main world to steal the internet and become a broadcaster?" Sotos hadn’t finished speaking, but Chen Ze noticed that with every word Sotos said, Hastur’s forehead grew more beads of sweat.

"Um, Mr. Sotos, would you like something to eat?" Chen Ze hesitated for a moment before asking, feeling the need to bail Hastur out before he dehydrated. frёewebηovel.cѳm

"..." Sotos glanced at Chen Ze, then fell silent for a moment before surprisingly nodding his head.

"Then bring me the best dish you have here, and make sure the portion is generous."

Hearing Sotos’s words, Chen Ze went back to the kitchen to prepare today’s dishes for Sotos, and he called Betty to help with slicing squid tentacles, leaving the restaurant to the three divine beings.

"Why are you so pale?" Chen Ze glanced at Betty, her face as white as a ghost’s.

"Hehe...because of the suppression of biological aura..." Betty replied with a grin, moving her mouth in a pained smile.

She hadn’t quite gotten over the shock yet. Although Betty was protected by the Magic Circle because she was an employee of the restaurant, the innate suppression from living beings still made it hard for her to catch her breath.

"Then you just take a good rest in the kitchen, I’ll deal with the three of them," Chen Ze nodded, feeling fine himself but still intending to take care of Betty who was after all, his only waitress.

Then Chen Ze quickly made a Magical Mapo Tofu, accompanied it with a chestnut rice from the icy seas, and finished with a moonlight cake. With that, the dishes for Sotos were ready.

But Chen Ze didn’t rush out, instead observing the situation in the restaurant first. It was very peculiar. freёwebnoѵel.com

There was no thunderous rage from Sotos followed by the execution of Hastur and Nyarlathotep, nor did Hastur and Nyarlathotep bow their heads to admit wrongdoing. These three just stared at each other in the restaurant, making it seem like they were engaged in a staring contest.

"This dish is for you, dear guest," Chen Ze hesitated for a moment, but still went out. If he let them be, they would keep playing this staring game for a while longer.

"Thank you, Manager," Sotos in the guise of the great president replied with a gentle smile, then sat down to slowly savor the dishes in front of him.

"Hastur, Nyarlathotep, would you like to eat something?" Chen Ze then turned to Hastur and the others.

"I’ll have the same," Hastur said, settling into a seat.

"Same for me!" Nyarlathotep also took a seat.

Chen Ze’s mouth twitched slightly, it seemed that Nyarlathotep had been catching up on modern social slang—’same for me’ was now in his vocabulary.

However, Chen Ze didn’t mind; these Outer Gods were more playful than he had imagined.

So, Chen Ze went straight back to the kitchen to prepare the dishes for Hastur and Nyarlathotep.

"The flavor is good, no wonder you would come to this place," Sotos nodded, in His mind, such delicious food was quite rare.

"Then what about my situation?" Hastur looked up tentatively and asked.

"Your Hope City, since Mister Manager asked you to do it, you should continue," Sotos didn’t care in the least, after all, it was just a broken world, not worth His effort to punish.

"And I..." Nyarlathotep started to speak hesitantly as well.

"The same for you," Sotos said directly, cutting off Nyarlathotep, which made Him breathe a sigh of relief.

"But Hastur, you really have guts, daring to dig a tunnel out from that One’s resting place," Sotos said, turning His gaze back to Hastur with an unfriendly expression.

In fact, if He hadn’t noticed the tunnel, He wouldn’t have bothered coming to this barren world; there were so many dimensions waiting for His leisurely walks.

"Heh heh... I didn’t expect it to be that One’s resting place either," Hastur scratched his head, completely lacking the demeanor of a god.

"Here are your dishes," Chen Ze reemerged from the kitchen, placing the two prepared dishes on the table.

Then Chen Ze stood by and watched as Sotos and Nyarlathotep ate, noting that Sotos ate just like any ordinary person.

However, Chen Ze felt that Sotos didn’t seem quite satisfied with the taste, which left him a bit confused; did Sotos only like perfect dishes, or had he not captured the flavors that Sotos preferred?

But before Chen Ze could come to a conclusion, Sotos and the others had finished their meal.

"Manager, this is our payment for the meal," Sotos said with a smile, standing up and placing a gray crystal on the table.

"Okay," Chen Ze didn’t ask what it was for and simply accepted it.

"This thing can create a space where things kept inside won’t spoil," Sotos explained, even though Chen Ze hadn’t asked.

"Thanks... But I was wondering, did the food today suit your taste?" Chen Ze hesitated for a bit but decided to ask anyway, or else he felt he wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.

"...The dishes were quite good," Sotos said, and then left with Hastur and Nyarlathotep.

"Quite good? So they weren’t delicious?"
