Chapter 612: Chapter 472: A Completely Different Ronna
Chen Ze glanced at Betty, who was awkwardly hiding in the kitchen. As soon as she saw Chen Ze turning his head away, she quickly ducked back inside.
"Thank you, Mr. Momonga," Chen Ze said without blaming Betty; after all, he was indeed planning to propose to Lafra. And Betty probably just couldn’t keep her mouth shut after hearing what Holmes and Moriarty were discussing.
"Manager, this Blessing Ring of the Goddess of Fortune can increase your luck when worn. As long as you’re satisfied with it, I’ll take my leave," Mr. Momonga waved his hand and then turned to leave the restaurant.
"Ah, Betty, next time we have guests, don’t go talking about me getting married," Chen Ze walked into the kitchen, looking at Betty in annoyance. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Really, she was a chef, yet she went around telling the customers about her marriage plans, always giving off the impression that she was extorting them for a wedding gift.
"Hehe, okay, Manager~" Betty stuck out her tongue playfully.
Chen Ze’s mouth twitched. He decided to buy an extra mackerel; after all, how could one be enough for Betty to eat? He, Chen Ze, wasn’t some kind of demon. It seemed quite normal for him to allow his staff to eat more mackerel. As for whether Betty’s stomach could handle it, that was her own concern.
"Manager! Sister Betty!" Ronna’s cheerful voice came in along with the tinkling of the Wind Chime.
"Eh~ Ronna, come here, Professor Moriarty is over there," Betty immediately went out and then pointed at Moriarty and Holmes, who were still playing chess.
"Mm, Sister Betty, this is something Mother asked me to bring to you," Ronna said as she took a bracelet made from an unknown plant from the small basket she was carrying, adorned with some pretty little flowers, very beautiful.
"So beautiful~ Ronna, thank your mother for me." Betty happily put on the bracelet and had to admit that Ronna’s mother was very skilled. Despite being made from plants, it didn’t feel rough or uncomfortable on the wrist.
"Hehe~" Ronna smiled happily.
"Ronna, come here," Moriarty gestured to Ronna.
"Good day, Professor Moriarty," Ronna greeted respectfully as she approached.
"Ronna Dake?" Holmes asked, looking at Ronna.
"Yes, sir, I am Ronna Dake." Ronna glanced at Holmes; she remembered him—last time they played Werewolf, he was also very impressive.
"Hello, Ronna, I am another one of your teachers, my name is Sherlock Holmes. I will teach you more knowledge in the future and help you master Elementary Deduction," Holmes said with a smile. Sure enough, she was that legendary Maid of Orléans, Joan of Arc.
"Teacher..." Ronna looked at Moriarty and didn’t rush to agree.
"Yes, this detective might be quite ridiculous, and his taste in clothes is certainly bad, but he is indeed your new teacher," Moriarty mocked Holmes coldly.
"Good day, Teacher Holmes!" With Moriarty’s approval, Ronna then turned and gave Holmes a respectful bow.
"Ronna, what I know may not be much, but you must find the stuff you’ve been learning recently quite troublesome, right? I’ll teach you my own memory method, which I call the ’Memory Palace’..." Holmes didn’t care about Moriarty and quickly went into teaching mode.
Chen Ze took the bracelet from Betty and then placed it in the cabinet, planning to keep it for Lafra; after all, it felt odd for him to wear it.
"The pizza will be ready soon; please ask Ronna if there’s anything else she’d like to eat." Chen Ze put the pizza into the oven. The prep work for the pizza had already been done beforehand, and now all it needed was to be baked.
"Boss, I feel like it might not be convenient to disturb them right now," Betty peeked out for a glance.
"...Then there’s no need to ask." Chen Ze also took a look and saw Holmes and Moriarty teaching Ronna something. He couldn’t help but shake his head.
He really didn’t understand why those two were so keen on teaching Ronna.
But... what kind of person would Ronna become in the future? Chen Ze felt quite interested, but he thought even with the extensive knowledge Holmes and Moriarty possessed, becoming a qualified monarch might still be somewhat difficult. He wondered if a figure like Qin Shi Huang or Emperor Taizong of Tang might appear in the future.
"I feel there’s an issue," Holmes looked at Moriarty.
"You mean Ronna?" Moriarty also paused his lecturing.
"Yes, I am a detective, you are a criminal, but Ronna is intended to be a queen in the future," Holmes nodded.
"That’s not a problem, I have already stirred up a storm in a small country. When the time comes, I can be king, and then I can practice what I preach," Moriarty waved his hand dismissively, having already anticipated this issue.
"Hmm." Holmes glanced at Moriarty. What peculiar thing had he been up to now?
Ronna looked utterly bewildered; her brain felt incredibly muddled at the moment, and what was that about Moriarty teacher becoming a king? Was he serious?
Aren’t kings supposed to be lofty and above all? Why did it seem so casual for Moriarty teacher and Holmes teacher, as if they were just picking a flower in the forest?
The young Ronna suddenly felt that her two teachers might not be quite normal.
"Dear, I’m back," Lafra came in with cheerful, quick steps, pushing the door open.
"Lafra! Would you like something to eat?" Chen Ze looked at Lafra with delight. Absence really does make the heart grow fonder.
"Hehe, I happen to be hungry~ Anything’s fine, as long as it’s made by you," Lafra rubbed her stomach and glanced at Betty who was cleaning up the plates.
"Did some guests just leave?" Lafra asked curiously.
"Yeah, two old freaks left with one future little freak," Chen Ze nodded. He felt that under the influence of Holmes and Moriarty, Ronna’s future had completely strayed from the historical path.
But don’t those two ever consider England’s fate in that world? They’re ruthless even to their own country.
"I’ll make you some food, just wait for me," Chen Ze shook his head; now was not the time to ponder Ronna’s future. He needed to go and make a hot lunch.
"Lady Lafra~" Watching Chen Ze enter the kitchen, Betty immediately ran over, her face full of excitement.
"Ahem." Chen Ze coughed twice, then warned Betty with a look, and Betty immediately withered.
