My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 74: Chapter Seventy-Four William and Lafra

"Manager, this curry pork chop rice is too delicious!" Betty’s cheeks were puffed out, and Chen Ze couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth, as it was the first time he had seen someone stuff such a large piece of pork chop into their mouth.

At the very least, Chen Ze felt that he couldn’t achieve that level himself; he savored his curry pork chop rice leisurely, taking a bite of pork chop and then a bite of rice, fully embodying the principle of chewing slowly.

Watching Betty seemingly unable to extricate herself from the delicious food, Chen Ze smiled, feeling even more pleased. His mood was further uplifted by the system prompt he received while making the curry pork chop rice.

[You have made a regular serving of curry pork chop rice. Japanese cuisine cooking experience has increased by 5 points.]

Chen Ze had discovered that successfully making a new dish excited him more than pulling a desired four-star character in a game used to do.

William stared blankly at the empty bowl in front of him. Unknowingly, he had finished the thick, strangely fragrant dish, and he hadn’t even realized it until his spoon hit the bottom of the bowl.

Frankly speaking, as an emperor, William had tasted many delicious dishes. Ingredients like Moonlight Mushrooms or Strong Liquor Grass were not rare on his dining table.

But such a unique dish as he had eaten today was a first for him. Despite feeling that the ingredients weren’t that great or even somewhat subpar, it was exceptionally delicious.

William habitually stretched out his hand. Usually, at this time, a palace maid would use water collected from snowy mountains to wash his hands, and then dry them with the finest fur.

But now, William had been extending his hand for a while, and no one came close to him. That’s when he remembered he was not in his palace and didn’t have thousands of servants at his beck and call. Here, he was merely a guest.

"They don’t seem to recognize me?" William stroked his beard. He was, after all, the emperor of the Empire of Babylus, a figure with a considerable reputation across the entire plane of existence.

"This is... I remember that succubus saying it’s called ’Paluda.’" William picked up the chilled Paluda and took a sip.

"Delicious!" The sweet milk and some unique ingredients but also possessing the specialty of this restaurant, it was both unique and flavorful.

William eagerly picked up the mango mousse, took a bite, and his eyes lit up. It was a dish he had never tasted before, softer than any dessert he had ever had in the palace.

"Gurgle..." William rubbed his stomach. An emperor should not eat too much; he needed to keep a clear head to deal with the various affairs of his vast empire.

Moreover, William was a Grade Nine Swordsman, and he had never overeaten in the palace.

Whenever he wanted to eat more, his transcendent teacher would remind him that as an emperor, he needed to practice restraint, to learn to curb his own desires...

But here, William looked around, the quiet little restaurant, though uniquely decorated, didn’t even match the decor of his restroom.

But here, he wasn’t the high and mighty emperor, but a regular customer.

William smiled, leisurely stretched, then got up. He just remembered that the succubus who dressed him had gone through that little door and it sounded like she was going to eat staff meal.

"I’d like to have five more of the manager’s recommended sets." William poked his head into the kitchen and saw two people sitting by the table, eating.

"Okay," Chen Ze nodded, tied the headscarf that was laid aside, and five orders were not really a big challenge for him.

"Please... *cough cough* please wait a moment, dear guest, I will bring it out for you shortly," Betty choked on the sudden voice, pounding her chest vigorously.

"Stop hitting, or you’ll really lose it," Chen Ze couldn’t help but make a snarky comment.

William watched Betty with a tail wagging and a dangerous gleam in her eye aimed at Chen Ze, and decided it might be best to come in later as things seemed a bit awkward.

William sat back down at his spot, appreciating the water provided here; it had a sour-sweet taste, although it still couldn’t compare to the water he was accustomed to.

"Human, what novel cuisine do you have today?" A thought easily pierced through William’s mental shield, imprinting these words in his mind.

Just then, Betty happened to walk out carrying a special chef-recommended dish, and upon seeing the entering guest, her tail happily wagged.

"Miss Lafra, you’ve come again? Today I highly recommend the chef’s special of the day—it’s explosively delicious!" Betty placed William’s order in front of him and then stood eagerly before Lafra.

William’s pupils shrank instantly, his hand involuntarily gripping the sword beside the table. Lafra? He certainly knew that name, especially after turning his head and seeing her outfit and features, his certainty grew.

William swallowed hard, feeling all the hair on his body stand on end at that moment. From this girl in the blood-red dress, he sensed a dire threat, a life-threatening one.

The Red of Bloodshed, the Blood Ancestor, the Terror in Disguise, the Eternal Night Monarch—these titles belonged to the girl, and beneath them lay the corpses of powerful beings. This girl stood atop countless heads, at the pinnacle of countless powerful beings, known as one of the two great monarchs of the negative plane.

At that moment, William’s thoughts raced, even considering if this girl was specifically laying a trap for him, plotting to kill him in this almost otherworldly place.

If that were truly the case, what conspiracy would the negative plane have? freēwebnovel.com

Cold sweat slid past William’s forehead and over the corner of his eyes, irritating them, yet he dared not even blink, keeping his gaze fixed on the girl before him, feeling as if the moment he blinked, his head would be gone.

Lafra smiled and ruffled Betty’s hair, then turned her gaze to the other living person in the restaurant.

The moment those blood-red eyes focused on him, William couldn’t hold back any longer and drew his Holy Sword, with holy light flowing along the blade.

But the next moment, the holy light was suppressed by a strange magical force and retracted back into the blade.

"Hey, hey, no fighting here, this is a restaurant," Chen Ze poked his head out to glance at William, then called Betty over, as he had finished the remaining four orders.

"Lafra, would you like something to eat?" Chen Ze looked at Lafra’s attire; she seemed in high spirits, not appearing as if she had gone through a great battle.

"Then I’ll take your special recommendation. If it’s not delicious, I won’t pay, hmph," Lafra said haughtily, holding her head high.
