My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Being ’Chuunibyou’ Is a Kind of Disease

Chen Ze scratched his head, still unable to figure out why this was happening since it was all new to him, and he lacked the relevant experiments.

"I might as well give a Gold Coin to the customer next time and see if that generates any signal," Chen Ze stretched lazily, closed the restaurant’s door, and squeezed through the smaller side door.

"I’m beginning to think I’m becoming a familiar face to those shop owners." Chen Ze looked at his notebook, feeling a bit bald-headed. He had restocked supplies many times within just a few days of opening. ƒreewebɳovel.com

If it weren’t for the income from selling roasted meat before, Chen Ze felt he would have been close to bankruptcy, which is why he agreed to sell barbecue at the school celebration this time.

"Speaking of which, how much should I charge for the barbecue tomorrow..." Chen Ze rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

The cost of a grilled tentacle was almost negligible, especially after Chen Ze had calculated the expenses for ingredients, labor, electricity, and other miscellaneous costs, spread out over three large buckets full of tentacles—it really wasn’t much. freēwēbnovel.com

So Chen Ze felt uneasy about setting the price too high, but if he set it too low, he worried about not having enough money to buy the things he wanted later.

"Well, let’s just stick to 10 yuan per skewer, after all, once they’ve tried it, there won’t be any doubts," Chen Ze had full confidence in his own skewers.

Especially after adding Moonlight Mushrooms to the skewers, Chen Ze’s confidence had inflated tremendously.

Chen Ze was confident that anyone who tried his skewers would feel their money was well spent.

But Chen Ze soon became troubled again, remembering that some people are allergic to fungi. What if someone had an allergy?

"Never mind, I’ll just set up a sign tomorrow warning those allergic to fungi not to eat it," Chen Ze shook his head as he approached the entrance to the market.

Chen Ze couldn’t recall how much he had bought, only that it took him an hour to move all the goods into his restaurant after they were delivered to his doorstep.

Then he was in bed, falling asleep almost immediately.

The next morning, Chen Ze was woken up by the ringing of his cellphone, "Brother, get up quickly, remember to come to our school for the celebration later."

Chen Xingchen’s voice was as pleasant as ever, but it only irritated someone who was rudely awakened from sleep.

"Little sister... do you know what time it is..." Chen Ze picked up his phone and took a look, rather speechless.

"It’s 5:30 in the morning, I know, we have to get up for morning exercises now." Chen Ze annoyed, ruffled his own hair, which reminded him of his own high school days.

"Sigh, when is the school celebration?" Chen Ze yawned and stretched his body under the blanket, feeling a strangely refreshing sensation.

"It starts precisely at 11 AM, but we need to enter two hours early for a security check and patrol," Chen Xingchen answered Chen Ze’s question promptly.

"..." Chen Ze had fleeting thoughts of severing sibling ties.

"I’ll be there on time at 9 AM." Chen Ze hung up the call cleanly, then set an alarm for 8 AM before turning off his phone.

Disturbing someone’s weekend sleep-in was practically a cardinal sin, the kind that warranted being paraded through the streets for public shaming.

"So sleepy..." Chen Ze yawned, set his phone aside, and fell back to sleep.

Although he wanted to continue sleeping, Chen Ze knew that a promise made to someone had to be kept, especially if it was a promise to his little sister. So, at 8:45, Chen Ze hired a truck and took all his belongings to the city’s First Middle School.

"Brother, you have so much stuff?" As soon as Chen Ze entered the school, he saw his sister and a girl with twin ponytails.

Chen Ze guessed that she must be his sister’s friend, probably the little foodie who had once come to eat the Storm Barbecue.

"Answering the call, I ask you, are you the Storm Barbecue?" Before Chen Ze could even greet them, the twin-ponytailed girl beside Chen Xingchen abruptly asked.

"Uh?" Chen Ze blinked, suddenly worried about how his cool and aggressive muscle sister made friends—why did they seem so weird?

"Shi Han, stop messing around," Chen Xingchen said, tugging at her friend’s clothes with a look of embarrassment. She remembered that she had cautioned her just a moment ago.

"Who is Shi Han? Alfiniya, did you get your wires crossed while time-traveling? I’m your most reliable comrade, your only partner..." The girl known as Shi Han looked at Chen Xingchen with utmost seriousness.

Chen Ze couldn’t detect any hint of jest in her eyes.

"Yes, yes, you are my most reliable comrade, Daughter of the Sun, Romanti," Chen Xingchen somewhat regretted why she had brought her friend along.

Only then did Shi Han turn her head away, satisfied, and with a serious face, she said to Chen Ze, "I’m telling you my real identity because you are Alfiniya’s brother. I hope you can keep it a secret."

Chen Ze looked at her face, thrilled with her own boasting, and then at the students around him who seemed unfazed, and he roughly understood what the situation with this Daughter of the Sun was.

"Hmm... okay. Daughter of the Sun, Romanti, I’m Alfiniya’s brother, the guardian from the planet Azeros." Chen Ze made a bizarre hand gesture with a serious expression.

"You may call me, the Last Guardian, Mei Diwu," Chen Ze said quietly, ensuring that only his sister and this delusional girl could hear him.

"Lord Mei Diwu, it’s a pleasure to meet you," Shi Han tried hard to return a gesture, clearly putting a lot of thought into it, after all, Chen Ze wouldn’t have managed to twist his fingers like that.

Chen Xingchen sighed beside him, knowing all too well that her brother was simply indulging in his bad taste, trying to tease her friend.

She immediately took out her phone and sent a message to Chen Ze.

"Bro, enough is enough, Shi Han will take it seriously."

Chen Ze checked his phone and looked surprised; he had thought this girl also belonged to the type who knew it didn’t exist but wanted to believe it did.

"Mr. Mei Diwu, do you want to..." The delusional girl hadn’t finished speaking when Chen Ze was called over by the security guard who needed him to taste his sauce to ensure safety.

Watching Chen Ze hurry away, the delusional girl turned excitedly to Chen Xingchen, "Alfiniya, did you also come from Azeros?"

Chen Xingchen looked at her friend without any expression, knowing that she had to go along with her now.

"Yes, but my brother and I are not the same kind of people—he’s from the Horde, and I’m from the Alliance."
