My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 439: Chapter Two Hundred and Ninety-Nine: Grand Finale

Chen Ze watched Kudo Shinichi with great interest, wondering what kind of decision he would make in this situation.

However, Chen Ze guessed that Conan was likely to try to gather some information from them, as every time he faced the Black Organization, he would act incredibly brave, only to be scared into a cold sweat by Gin.

But it had to be said, Gin, as a main antagonist, was designed quite successfully. The few confrontations that had taken place showcased this member’s ruthlessness and high intelligence.

Especially that time when Conan was hiding in a storage locker, had Gin not failed to watch the surveillance, or rather, had the scriptwriter not let him off the hook, Conan might have faced his end.

But then, it may have turned into the famous detective Kudo Yusaku’s story, because after all, Conan’s dad was a novelist and also quite capable at deduction. Plus, with Kudo Yukiko, who was a master of transformative makeup, this lineup was quite formidable.

"But Conan wouldn’t be seeking death, right?" Chen Ze glanced at Betty, the server who was recommending dishes to Gin’s group.

"Uncle Manager~ I’d like to ask a question about the curry~" Conan came in with a childish tone, speaking very loudly, completely acting like a typical bratty kid.

"Okay, go ahead and ask," Chen Ze glanced at Conan, wondering what kind of mischief he was up to this time.

"Well, what do you usually put in the curry, manager?" Conan asked cautiously, as if his last desperate encounter had made him less bold.

Conan didn’t directly ask his question but wrote it on a piece of paper and gave it to Chen Ze, winking at him with a face that said, "you know what I mean."

"...I don’t understand jack!" Chen Ze really wanted to retort. Although he had a divine skill like Arcane Wisdom, it didn’t mean he could understand Japanese.

Chen Ze’s mouth twitched, but he still answered Conan’s question first. Without waiting for Conan to continue, he waved his hand and then looked at him with a speechless expression.

"Kudo Shinichi, what the hell are you up to?" Chen Ze said loudly enough that everyone in the restaurant could hear.

"Hey! Are you crazy?" Conan jumped up. Chen Ze felt that Conan might shove a soccer ball in his mouth if he weren’t able to stop him.

Conan hurriedly looked around the restaurant, hoping Gin hadn’t heard Chen Ze’s voice.

"Duang~" A very crisp sound.

"Eh?" Conan felt bewildered as he touched the air in front of him. Supposedly, there was nothing there since he had just walked through the door.

But now, Conan felt something like a wall, which left him completely stunned.

"Don’t touch or ask, if you ask, it’s ’magic’, and now our voices can’t be heard from outside," Chen Ze chuckled. Although he was eager to see Conan’s ultimate conclusion, reading the manga and anime was still a better option.

"This..." Conan was still in a daze and for a moment, he began to doubt his own understanding of the world.

"What’s wrong? Great Detective~" Chen Ze said teasingly, finding it amusing to see Conan’s confused look; it was very interesting.

"So... so you’re actually a magical girl..." Conan blinked.

"...You’ve done enough!" Chen Ze had the urge to burst out and drag Conan and Haibara out, telling Gin their real identities.

According to Gin’s character, who would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, Conan and Haibara would definitely be done for, but this would surely make Gin suspect him as well.

"Manager, you really are amazing. But if you can do magic like that, could you help me plant a bug on them so that they can’t see it?" Conan asked, his face full of pleading.

"That’s not a difficult thing..." Chen Ze looked at Conan, whose face suddenly lit up with pleasure.

"But I refuse!" Chen Ze flatly refused Conan’s request.

"Eh? Why?" Conan was utterly confused. What was going on here?

It felt like the manager was just about to agree. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"Because I’m just a chef, and this is just a restaurant," Chen Ze didn’t tell the truth.

"...I always feel like Mr. Manager is hiding something..." Conan squinted at Chen Ze, but he didn’t blame him, after all, this was his own issue.

Suddenly, Chen Ze thought of something and took out the Transformation Stone that he had asked Lafra to get for him and pressed it.

Immediately, Chen Ze turned into an old orc with green skin, leaving Conan’s mouth hanging open.

"Drink up, Conan, this is your destiny..." Chen Ze somehow had a bowl of green liquid in his hand.

"Then... what’s the price?" Conan asked as if possessed.

"All of this..." The old orc pulled back his hood, revealing his bald head.

"Stop messing around, Manager." Conan rolled his eyes.

"You should go out now." Chen Ze looked over at the stove; the curry rice was ready, and Betty had also passed in the menu.

Looking at Conan’s disappointed face, Chen Ze smiled, then picked up the menu and glanced at it, raising an eyebrow involuntarily.

"I didn’t expect Gin to like this." Chen Ze shook his head, but he didn’t have natto here.

"Sir, we don’t have natto in our restaurant, would you like to choose something else?" Chen Ze went out and looked at Gin, who was drinking Thunderbrew Lager with Vodka.

"Oh? Then just take out the natto," Gin was easy to talk to and didn’t have that violent temper where if you can’t give him natto, he’d want you dead.

"Alright." Chen Ze nodded. The other dishes were very simple and didn’t pose any difficulties.

On his way back to the kitchen, Chen Ze glanced over at Conan and his friends and saw Conan chatting with Yuan Tai with a silly smile, while Ai Haibara was acting like an ostrich.

Chen Ze had an idea and patted Haibara on the shoulder, pressing the Transformation Stone in his hand.

"Little girl, are you feeling alright?" Chen Ze smiled at Haibara.

"I... I’m fine..." Haibara still didn’t dare to look up, for fear of being recognized by Gin.

Conan, surprised, glanced at Haibara. He had been watching Chen Ze, so he, of course, saw Chen Ze pat Haibara, but the moment Chen Ze’s hand came down... freēwebnovel.com

"Haibara, don’t worry." Conan smiled and walked over, then his lips twitched. This manager really had a wicked sense of humor...

"Wow! Haibara, you look so pretty!" Ayumi Yoshida exclaimed, surprised, looking at Haibara who had lifted her head.

"Bro, that girl looks like Aragaki Yui!" Vodka also exclaimed in surprise at the little girl.
