My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 444: Chapter 304 Temporary Solution

Chen Ze stood in the kitchen, feeling somewhat helpless. Although he had already explained that this was a restaurant and not a gathering place for exorcists or a Taoist temple, Li Xu seemed to have convinced himself otherwise and adamantly refused to leave.

"I won’t go, I won’t see that thing once I go out, and then I can only die, so please, save me," Li Xu pleaded with Chen Ze, a look of desperation on his face.

Humans can die from lack of sleep—sudden death—so staying up late is a bad habit, and Li Xu was thinking about resigning after a while.

Chen Ze rubbed his brow; Lafra had also gone out, saying there were some issues in the negative plane that she needed to deal with.

Chen Ze did think of several methods, the simplest of which was to use a Magic Circle to eliminate the gray shadow, so this guest could eat in peace, and then he could leave.

Although theoretically, whether the guest lived or died after leaving was none of Chen Ze’s business, he still couldn’t bring himself to be so cold-blooded as to watch someone else go to their death. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Chen Ze also thought of the mirror in his little cabinet, a gift from Black and White Impermanence that he said could see ghosts. If he gave it to this guest, then the guest would be able to see ghosts upon leaving—a cause for celebration...

Chen Ze shook his head; that plan was useless. Not to mention that even if the guest could see the ghost, they probably wouldn’t have any way to deal with it. Besides, giving the mirror to this guest would only bring huge trouble for both him and Chen Ze.

And Chen Ze disliked trouble.

"Ah... Guest, but we really don’t offer that kind of service," Chen Ze shook his head, uncertain which world this guest came from.

If it was a person from Earth, then it would be troublesome to see the other guests.

"Please, I beg you, really, please!" Li Xu looked at the gray shadow beside him, whose eyes had grown another pair, still staring intently at him.

And another pair of bleeding eyes appeared, intensifying the fear.

"Alright, how about this: Guest, you stay in my basement for a while, and if someone comes who can help you, I will call you," Chen Ze could only resolve the matter this way. He had no immediate way to deal with this gray ghost, so he had to leave it for other guests to see.

But binding it was still feasible.

After much explanation, Li Xu chose to follow Chen Ze’s advice and hid in the basement.

On his way to the basement, he constantly looked back at the gray shadow—it would’ve seemed to an outsider that there was some unfinished love story between Li Xu and the ghost.

After making sure the ghost wouldn’t follow, Li Xu arrived in the basement, refused to turn on the lights, and then found a spot to lie down, soon falling asleep with snoring sounds.

"I’m speechless, how can he sleep at a time like this?" Chen Ze twitched the corner of his mouth, what was this nonsense, his restaurant had turned into a guest accommodation, and he felt like it would gain more inexplicable functions in the future.

Chen Ze shook his head and looked at the gray shadow, which was fixated on the basement.

"Manager, I’ll have the same wolfberry red tea from last time, a steak, and finally a light cheesecake, please," the door was pushed open again, and Professor Moriarty walked in.

"Professor, here’s your lemon water," Betty approached, pouring a cup of lemon water for Moriarty.

"Thank you, Betty, it’s such a pleasure to be able to see you early in the morning," Moriarty said with a smile, sitting down and placing his umbrella aside.

Rainwater dripped from the umbrella onto the floor, gathered into a ball of water, and didn’t wet the floor at all.

"Alright," Chen Ze nodded, Professor Moriarty... That was no need to ask, after all, that world was a world of science, asking the professor was pointless.

"Yo, Manager Bro, are you ready for another special training today?" Joichiro Yukihira also arrived, still sporting his usual carefree demeanor.

Chen Ze’s mouth twitched, wondering what Joichiro Yukihira would think if he knew he would be defeated by his own son.

"Eh? We’ve got a customer? Well then, Manager Bro, let’s start this special training with making the dish for our guest," Joichiro Yukihira noticed Moriarty and gave him a nod.

"Sure, I think that’s no problem," Chen Ze said, instantly filled with fighting spirit.

The dishes ordered by Moriarty weren’t terribly complicated, but with Joichiro Yukihira there to give pointers, Chen Ze was quite interested.

Wondering whether Tokyo was hot or not, Chen Ze started filming, then began today’s first dish under the guidance of Joichiro Yukihira.

"Eh, eh, eh, young man, is that how you brew tea? Doing it this way will spoil the tea’s flavor!"

"The preparation for the steak is not bad, but you still need to work a bit more on your knife skills."

"Not bad, your light cheesecake is already quite good, but there’s a small detail here you need to pay attention to."

Under Joichiro Yukihira’s guidance, Chen Ze completed Professor Moriarty’s order.

Aside from the tea which didn’t receive a System rating, all the other dishes earned an Exquisite Level rating.

"Mr. Manager’s cooking skills are really getting better and better." Moriarty was very satisfied; the steak was delicious, the tea even more delightful than last time, and the light cheesecake was as impeccable as ever.

And Chen Ze was enduring pain and pleasure in the kitchen, but fortunately, he had come to adapt to such a life.

"Manager Bro, this beef isn’t ordinary, is it?" Joichiro Yukihira noticed the unusual quality of the beef Chen Ze was using.

"Hmm, it’s Bill Beef, an ingredient from another world but quite affordable, almost the same as Earth’s beef," Chen Ze nodded, then glanced at the storeroom.

The shadowy figure was trapped inside, and Chen Ze did not plan to scare his other customers.

"Oh? Let me try some; in exchange, I’ll give you one of my secret recipes," Joichiro Yukihira was very interested.

"No need for the recipe, just add another day to the tutorial," Chen Ze smiled, knowing it’s better to teach a man to fish than to give him fish.

"Alright."

After seeing off Joichiro Yukihira, only the professor remained in the restaurant.

The professor was leisurely enjoying his goji berry tea, on his fifth cup, as he read a book while sipping.

"Tsk tsk, this comical detective writes quite well, but the 3k Party’s activities in London are far more extensive than he knows." Hearing the professor’s words, Chen Ze understood what kind of payment he would receive today.

Chen Ze was very satisfied, it seemed he would eventually collect all of Dr. Watson’s books, but...

Chen Ze glanced at Moriarty, wondering who would bring him "The Final Problem" when the time came?
