My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 518: Chapter 378 Lawrence and He Luo

Lawrence was running, and he ran fast. There was a moment when he felt grateful that the city he lived in was the neutral city favored by the gods; otherwise, he might never have had the chance to find the Temple of the Magic Goddess. Only the Temple could communicate with the divine, something everyone knew.

"Excuse me, sir, would you like to worship our Goddess?" At the entrance of the Temple of the Magic Goddess, a woman wearing a deep blue robe, smilingly blocked Lawrence’s path.

"Sorry, I’m in a hurry, please let me through." Although there was a moment when Lawrence felt like exploding, he restrained himself. This was the Temple of He Luo, the Magic Goddess, who was also his beloved’s deity, so Lawrence chose to hold back.

"I apologize, sir, but to enter the Temple, you must remove your mask." The Priest’s smile remained unchanged, just as her hand continued to block the pathway.

"..." Lawrence was silent for a moment before he removed the mask from his face and then entered the Temple.

The statue of the Goddess of Magic stood in the center of the Temple, but it was faceless, showing only a vague outline. This was the rule for statues of deities because gods inherently lacked a fixed appearance.

Lawrence silently looked up at the statue. The Magic Goddess was not a chief deity and rarely exhibited miracles, so there were not many worshippers here. But Lawrence knew that in time, people would realize that only the Magic Goddess was a true god in this world, and then the place would be filled with devout followers.

It was laughable, really; people could live without relying on the gods, yet everyone wanted to believe in a true deity.

"Huh... can you hear me?" Lawrence sat down in front of the statue and asked.

It was fortunate that the Magic Goddess was not a chief deity, so there were no high priests here to reprimand him for blasphemy, as not using respectful language to a deity was considered sacrilege.

The Temple was silent, without any response, but Lawrence didn’t care. His relationship with He Luo was never that good, to begin with.

It was more accurate to say that He Luo had always been wary of Lawrence, and now, just as things were starting to improve, they had ended up in this situation.

Lawrence sighed, unsure whether this was a test from his Lord.

"I originally planned to talk to you that day, but to my surprise, you ignited the Divine Flame and ascended to divinity. It’s just..." Lawrence bowed his head. He admitted that he felt absolutely terrible during that period; probably no other day had been as bad as that one. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Lawrence took a deep breath, determined to reveal the thoughts he had been hiding. If he didn’t speak now, he wasn’t sure he ever would have another chance.

"I had planned to keep this from you for a while longer, but I feel like if I don’t say it now, I wouldn’t know what to do." Lawrence lifted his head; his heart was racing so fast it felt like it was about to burst forth.

"He Luo, from the day I met you, I probably fell for you. It was only after spending more and more time with you that I realized that the girl from back then had completely entered my heart without me knowing." Lawrence approached the statue and took a deep breath, looking up at the face that was as impassive as a wall.

"The unfortunate thing is, before I could confess, you became a deity. That must have been my Lord’s will, you probably know that too." Lawrence was earnest. From the moment He Luo became a deity, Lawrence knew that only the entity he worshipped could have enabled such a feat.

That was the one true God, whose will was irrefutable.

"Would you accept me?" Lawrence gazed intently at the statue, as if he could see He Luo’s vertical pupils and playful fangs on it once again.

But the Temple remained unresponsive. Lawrence, feeling dejected, bowed his head. The Lord hadn’t stopped him or interfered; clearly, this was He Luo’s own wish, and there was nothing Lawrence could do.

Lawrence turned away, feeling he should go back to the restaurant opened by Flemea and drink there, better to get himself completely drunk.

He just didn’t know how much he would need to drink to achieve that. Perhaps he should visit that magical restaurant and ask?

"Did you bring the barbecue?" Turning around, what caught his eye was a magnificently dressed girl with two ears atop her head and a tail behind her. She was smiling, with her canine teeth peeking out ever so slightly.

"I... I mean..." For some reason, upon seeing He Luo at that moment, Lawrence’s courage had completely dissipated. The bravery to confess his love had vanished into thin air.

Lawrence stood there, at a loss for words, feeling as if his heart was a tangled mess, with countless thoughts intertwined.

"And you say you like me, just like that." He Luo stood with her hands behind her back, smiling at the man who was speaking incoherently.

Without a word, Lawrence blushed, ran over, and hugged He Luo tightly in his arms. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

He Luo’s body tensed for a moment, before relaxing. She reached out her hands and embraced the silly man before her.

In that moment, Lawrence felt he was the happiest person alive.

"Eh? Lafra, when did you come down? Do you want something to eat?" Chen Ze was quite surprised as he looked at Lafra, having thought that she was still asleep upstairs.

"Sleepy..." Lafra rubbed her eyes, looking like she could fall asleep at any moment.

"If you’re sleepy, why not go back to sleep for a bit?" Chen Ze was somewhat amused and exasperated, Lafra looked just like a sleepwalker.

"Mm..." Lafra extended her hand, and Chen Ze immediately understood. He quickly took a can of cherry-flavored cola from the fridge, which Chen Ze now exclusively used for storing cola, with nothing else inside.

"Glug glug glug~" A can of ice-cold cola was downed, and Lafra instantly perked up quite a bit. She licked her lips, her face breaking into a radiant smile.

"I want to eat curry beef rice now," Lafra declared, staring at Chen Ze with big, pitiful eyes.

"Okay, just wait a moment." Chen Ze ruffled Lafra’s hair, then started to prepare the curry beef.

Lafra left with a smile, then looked thoughtfully at Betty, who was chatting with Alisa.

"Betty..." Alisa poked Betty.

"What’s up?" Betty turned around and saw Lafra looking at her.

"Lady Lafra!" Betty suddenly sat up straight, while Alisa was also a bit nervous, because the person in front of her was, after all, an immensely powerful being.

"Give me a can of cola," Lafra requested sweetly, feeling that with Chen Ze by her side, her mood for the entire day would be good.

"Right away!" Betty immediately dashed off.

And Lafra naturally took a seat next to Alisa, who nervously tightened her grip on her chopsticks.
