My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 517: Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy-Seven: On the Road of No Return

"Coke?" Chen Ze was taken aback, originally thinking Betty was coming in to do something, only to find she was asking about Coke.

"Yes, Manager, Alisa told me that if we could add Coke to our fast food, she thinks we could make even more money," Betty said pitifully looking at Chen Ze. She had been dreaming lately, dreaming that Chen Ze’s Starry Sky Cakes were all sold out with no ingredients left, and Betty could only wait tearfully for an unknown future for the Starry Sky Cake.

Betty absolutely would not allow such a thing to continue; she must find a way to earn five thousand Gold Coins sooner and then buy a Starry Sky Cake!

"Coke, huh... that’s not a hard thing, but buying Coke requires RMB, you should ask Lindsay if she’s willing to fund your Coke purchase, though I will charge a service fee." Chen Ze looked at Betty, thinking that this business could work, but he also couldn’t offer his services for free. He needed to make some money too, especially since the balance in Lindsay’s account was very substantial. Chen Ze felt that not earning a hundred percent profit from her would be a loss.

"Eh? Okay, then I’ll go back and ask Lindsay." Betty nodded and then prepared to leave.

"You’re not planning to take it straight away? Based on my understanding of Lindsay, she definitely wouldn’t mind such a small matter," Chen Ze said while brushing oil, asking casually.

"No, it’s Lindsay’s money, not mine, so I still have to ask her," Betty shook her head and then walked out.

"That’s good," Chen Ze nodded and then continued to make his crispy rice dishes.

When Betty went out and planned to tell Alisa that she had to ask Lindsay first about the Coke, Alisa was nibbling on her chive pocket.

She remembered this dish well because it was the first meal she had at this quirky diner when she first arrived. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"Pff, now that you mention it, the manager back then was right beside me and said ’It’s really delicious.’ Is that some sort of strange ritual?" After finishing her first chive pocket and licking her fingers, Alisa felt very satisfied.

That’s the great thing about this restaurant, you can do whatever you want. No need to wear the mask of a powerful woman; she can live life according to her own personality, which is wonderful.

"It’s really delicious!" Alisa stretched and then greeted Betty, who had just walked out of the kitchen.

"Alisa, the Coke might have to wait until tomorrow, I have to go back and ask Lindsay if she can help with something," Betty said with a smile as she sat down.

"No problem, that’s fine. Oh, have you heard? The company that originally published ’Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day’ has already started preparing for their new film," Alisa enthused, passing a chive pocket to Betty while chatting.

"Eh? Really? What kind of movie is it?" Betty was very curious.

"They say it’s a disaster movie called Titanic, after thinking for a bit, since the name Titanic was a bit of a tongue twister," Alisa said.

"Oh, that sounds great. I’ve recently found a skincare product which is pretty useless for me, but I think it is quite nice. Alisa, would you consider turning it into a cosmetic product?" Betty and Alisa got along well, but the two of them... or one person and one succubus... kept their voices low because Professor Moriarty was still on the other side tutoring Ronna.

By the time Chen Ze finished preparing Alisa’s other dishes, Ronna’s pizza was also ready.

"So soon? I clearly set the heat just right to cook it thoroughly," sighed Chen Ze. He had intended to leave more tasks for Moriarty and Ronna, but time seemed to have flown even faster than he expected.

"Betty, come in and serve the dishes," Chen Ze called Betty in.

"Ronna, remember this— a kind person cannot be a monarch. Don’t let your soft heart lead you to make mistakes," Moriarty advised, just as Betty carried the dishes over.

"Ronna, this is your pizza, but you can just treat us the way you always do," Betty said, looking at the innocent and cute Ronna with some concern.

Humans have short lifespans. If not for becoming professionals, the lifespan of a commoner is generally only eighty years. They learn quickly and reproduce quickly too. However, it is precisely because of this that humans are prone to change easily.

Some who are innocent and adorable as children may become cunning and malicious as adults. And some who are boys in their youth may become girls as they grow up. Is this what they call raising sons and daughters?

Betty shook her head vigorously. What on earth was she thinking?

"Thank you, Sister Betty. Ronna will never forget Sister Betty," said Ronna, clutching Betty’s hand earnestly.

Moriarty stood by, feeling an odd sense of déjà vu. This... Why did it seem like Betty, the adult, was being comforted by Ronna, the child?

"Ronna, I’ll be busy with something tomorrow, so I won’t be tutoring you. Remember to review well, as there will be a test," Moriarty said, glancing at his pocket watch. Anyway, he had already taught Ronna what he needed to for the day. Next, it was time to deal with those fools at Scotland Yard.

"Okay, teacher, goodbye~" Ronna waved goodbye to Moriarty.

Then she picked up her bag, bowed seriously towards the kitchen, said something more to Betty, and left with her bag.

"What’s up with you, Betty?" Alisa asked from a seat nearby. Betty had been wearing a strange expression, staring at the restaurant door, in the direction where the little girl had left.

"Ah, I just got this inexplicable feeling of my own child having grown up. Maybe this is what they call maternal instincts overflowing?" Betty rubbed her face.

"Oh, my, is our Betty thinking of getting married? Want me to introduce you to someone?" Alisa teased with a playful smile.

"No, I’m planning on being single. Why bother with a relationship? I’d rather play games," Betty decisively shook her head, then inexplicably felt a chill down her spine.

"Betty, what are you talking about?" Upon hearing this familiar voice, Betty stiffened and turned her head only to see Lafra, who had appeared at the staircase, sleepily clutching a pillow. freewebnovёl.ƈom

Sharp-eyed Betty noticed the pillow bore an inscription in the language of the Negative Plane: "Even after numerous beautiful dreams, one still longs to remain lost within them upon awakening."

"Hehe, Lady Lafra... I was just saying... getting a partner... is absolutely wonderful, indeed relationships trump games, haha~" Lafra gave Betty a strange look. What was with this silly succubus now?
