My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 67: Chapter 67: The Shrinking Dragon

Chen Ze stared blankly as Hastur left, many thoughts running through his head. When he was cooking for Hastur just now, Chen Ze had a new idea.

The Dream Restaurant was very quiet. Chen Ze scratched his head, looking at the two people still lying on the floor.

Betty was as usual, unconscious, while Sebastian’s condition was much better. He was no longer foaming at the mouth and his complexion had stabilized a lot.

It seemed as though Hastur carried a power similar to a domain with him. As long as someone was within a certain range of Hastur, they would be influenced by this Ancient Ruler.

"Betty, hurry up and get up to wash the dishes,"Chen Ze yawned, feeling a little sleepy.

But Sebastian was a big eater, with at least twenty servings as a minimum.

The restaurant was still very quiet, and Betty showed no reaction.

"Betty, stop pretending," Chen Ze rolled his eyes. He really wanted to kick Betty on the butt. Didn’t this succubus realize she’d been seen through?

But Betty remained indifferent, as if she really had passed out.

"If you keep this up, I’ll dock your wages for the week, okay?" No sooner had Chen Ze spoken than Betty suddenly sprang up from the ground and briskly started cleaning up the dishes and utensils.

Chen Ze shook his head and prepared to go back to the kitchen to do some prep work.

"Manager, how did you know?" Betty brought the dishes in and asked while washing them.

"There’s only one truth!" Chen Ze struck a strange pose that looked particularly juvenile.

Betty blinked, not knowing why, but suddenly she really wanted to cover her eyes. It felt oddly embarrassing.

"Hastur had mentioned that both you and I are protected by the restaurant’s Magic Circle, so if I, a mere human, am unaffected, why would you, a slightly stronger succubus, be affected?" Chen Ze quickly made twenty servings of light cheesecake and put them in the oven.

"Shouldn’t we take care of Mr. Sebastian?" Betty peered into the restaurant where Sebastian still lay as if in death.

"Do you know how to safely wake him?" Chen Ze had no idea how to safely awaken a Dragon affected by an Ancient Ruler.

There weren’t any answers for this on Baidu, so Chen Ze had no choice but to let Sebastian wake up on his own. What if awakening him caused him to go berserk?

"I don’t know..." Betty quickly shook her head; before today, she hadn’t even been aware of Hastur’s existence.

"That settles it then." As the oven timer dinged, Chen Ze took the finished light cheesecakes out.

Which batch of desserts was this? Chen Ze had almost forgotten, remembering only that he had been making countless desserts lately, despairingly so.

[You have made an ordinary light cheesecake, dessert-making experience increased by 5 points.]

[Dessert Novice passive level has increased.]

[Dessert Enthusiast: The desserts you make are barely edible. When making desserts, there is a lower chance of adding random effects.]

"It seems... it seems the effect has changed from ’very low’ to ’lower’?" Chen Ze scratched his head, not remembering the previous notifications.

And his system appeared to have no text or retrospective functionality. But regardless, an improvement in effects was always good news.

Meanwhile, in the restaurant, Sebastian also woke up. He slowly opened his eyes, which were small but filled with immense fear.

God knows what he had just gone through. He simply thought of going home to sleep for a while, and then he found the door to the restaurant open. Excited, he grabbed a big handful of Gold Coins, just waiting for a splendid feast today.

But Sebastian never expected that the moment he entered the Dream Restaurant, he would see a white-haired human woman, and then his brain was filled with countless voices speaking, and strange hallucinations appeared before his eyes.

The next second, Sebastian passed out, but fainting was of no use. In his dream, he saw the white hair... no, that magnificent entity.

Its evil whispers... no! They were sacred! Sacred whispers! And they gave Sebastian a nightmare.

Dream within a dream, dream within the dream of a dream within a dream, Sebastian felt he was about to go mad, then he woke up from the nightmare once again.

Sebastian turned his head to look around; this place seemed to be the Dream Restaurant, the familiar layout, the familiar environment, but there was no terrifying white hair in sight.

"Is it a dream again?" Sebastian, failing to see Chen Ze and Betty, his eyes flickering with rage.

"Who dares to toy with the mighty Black Dragon Lord!" Sebastian fiercely reverted to his original form.

"Hold on!" Chen Ze hurriedly tried to intervene. He had seen Sebastian’s true form, which could easily burst the entire restaurant effortlessly.

But the spell was already complete, and in Chen Ze’s shocked eyes, Sebastian turned into a creature the size of a pigeon... a Black Dragon?

It was probably a Black Dragon, but it was too small, not imposing at all, instead it looked a bit silly and cute.

"What’s going on!" In a voice like a child’s, Betty couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Sebastian, calm down and transform back into human form," Chen Ze tried to persuade with a mix of laughter and tears.

"Manager?" Sebastian looked at Chen Ze in surprise, then tried to change back into human form, but after a long while, Sebastian remained the same.

"My... my magic is suppressed; I can’t change back to a human in here," Sebastian shook his head in dejection, but soon he cheered up again.

If this were the real world, wouldn’t that mean he had finally been freed from the endless nightmare?

"It’s probably because your recent actions posed a threat to the restaurant, so..." Chen Ze felt this was particularly likely.

"Never mind that for now! Manager, quickly, give me twenty portions of light cheesecake!" Sebastian felt his stomach so hungry that he could eat a hundred Thunder Rhinoceroses.

Chen Ze clapped his hands, and Betty came out of the kitchen with twenty portions of light cheesecake, placing them in front of Sebastian.

Then Betty and Chen Ze stood aside, curiously watching Sebastian. They wanted to see how such a small Sebastian was going to eat.

Sebastian paid no mind to their gazes; he licked his lips and dove in.

Chen Ze watched as one of the light cheesecakes rapidly diminished, but the speed became harder and slower...

Soon after, Sebastian, angered, flew out from the middle, flapping his wings.

Then he dropped heavily onto the table and, supporting himself on it, spat out a small bit of the light cheesecake.

"Why! Why am I still hungry, but just can’t eat anymore?" Sebastian looked utterly depressed.

Chen Ze thoughtfully stroked his beard. It seemed that as the body had shrunk, the stomach had shrunk synchronously, but this did not affect the original appetite. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

This punishment is really interesting.
