My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 75: Chapter Seventy-Five: Lafra’s Special Cuisine

Lafra walked slowly, stepping on the air, and reached above William’s head, looking down at him, "Human, you’ve taken my seat. Move."

William clenched his teeth and respectfully lowered his head, carrying his plate away from his seat, and found a corner to sit down in.

He didn’t feel humiliated. To be alive in the presence of a powerful being like Lafra was a grace from her.

"Hmph!" Lafra stepped down from the air, and a surge of blood-red magical energy wrapped around the entire chair, completing a cleaning.

Only then did she sit down, and afterward, Lafra looked back at William.

"That spot you were in belongs to Lao Gu," she said casually, leaving William stunned for a moment.

Immediately, he realized that the only one who could be referred to by Lafra as Lao Gu would probably be the Monarch of Undead - Stan, who stood at the pinnacle of the negative plane just like her.

William felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead, so much so that Betty, who came to serve the dish, wondered if the middle-aged swordsman might need to hydrate a bit more today.

"I... I’ll move over there," William picked up his dish once again and reseated himself at a new spot, the one farthest away from Lafra and Stan.

Even after sitting down, William felt uneasy until he heard no further ’friendly advice’ from Lafra, finally relaxing a bit. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

"Pfft," Lafra slapped the table, letting out a laugh that sounded like clanging barbells.

Chen Ze rolled his eyes in the kitchen, well aware that the middle-aged man had been played by Lafra. Although Comrade Gu Aotian often visited the restaurant, his seat was never fixed.

Soon, Chen Ze prepared Lafra’s dish, but as he looked over what he had produced, Chen Ze felt puzzled; he had rarely encountered such an occurrence, or to be more accurate, it seldom happened.

[You have made an ordinary Paluda, and your dessert-making experience has increased by 5 points.]

[Dessert Lover passive triggered, the ordinary Paluda has gained the ’Silken Smooth’ special effect.]

[You have made an ordinary Mango Mousse, and your dessert-making experience has increased by 5 points.]

[Dessert Lover passive triggered, the ordinary Mango Mousse has gained the ’Authentic’ special effect.]

Indeed, both desserts Chen Ze made for Lafra triggered special effects, whereas the five he prepared for William before were not as fortunate.

Recollecting Lafra’s past dining experiences at the restaurant, Chen Ze even suspected that Lafra might have a luck bonus, making it almost certain that special-effect dishes would trigger when served to her.

Chen Ze shook his head; even if Lafra did have such luck, what of it? After all, she was his customer.

This time, Chen Ze didn’t call Betty to serve. Instead, he personally carried out the dishes. He planned to make thin-skinned buns tomorrow, and today, he decided to relax a bit and thought chatting with Lafra would be nice.

"Dear guest, your special recommendation. Please enjoy," Chen Ze placed the same dish in front of Lafra.

Lafra didn’t speak at first, just sniffed. It was a novel scent, certainly a type she had never tasted before.

Then Lafra looked at Chen Ze, "Human, what exactly happened that night?"

Chen Ze was of course aware of what Lafra meant; she was certainly asking about Hastur.

"That night, Hastur came to my restaurant, had dinner, and I told him to come back next time. There wasn’t anything after that," Chen Ze recalled, realizing that nothing particularly eventful happened that night and The King in Yellow had been quite peaceful.

William furrowed his brows. Hastur? The name seemed familiar.

Lafra breathed a sigh of relief, "No wonder he was so calm and cooperative with us this time."

"What do you mean?" Chen Ze was a bit curious.

"You don’t know, we traced Hastur’s location yesterday, then Lao Gu, myself, along with a few old bastards from the positive plane, all went over," Lafra said, as she scooped up some curry sauce with rice and put it into her mouth.

Chen Ze silently gave a thumbs up; Lafra really knew how to eat. Curry with rice was indeed the tastiest way to have it.

"We were ready for a tough fight, even prepared ourselves to die," Lafra’s words made William gasp.

Even a being as strong as Lafra was prepared to die? It was clear then just how formidable their enemy must be.

"But he didn’t want to fight us. He just asked us to provide him with some rare ingredients and Gold Coins every day, saying he planned to stay there and promised not to come into our territory," Lafra looked deeply at Chen Ze, initially she hadn’t understood what Hastur was planning to do.

Now, hearing Chen Ze’s explanation, she understood. It seemed that Hastur had decided to settle in that place just so he could eat at Chen Ze’s restaurant.

This was a good thing, but Lafra noticed that the Dragons’ expressions were not too good, especially the two guests from Chen Ze’s place. They looked particularly unhappy.

Thinking about it, it’s understandable. For such an easily resolved matter, it must have irritated the Dragons that a Demigod Realm clan leader like Sebastian and Riesel wasn’t feeling too comfortable about it.

"That’s good. I was worried something might go wrong," Chen Ze sighed with relief. As long as no one had died, it was fine.

"Your curry pork chop rice tastes very good. I like it a lot. Give me another twenty servings to take back with me," Lafra said contentedly after finishing the first bowl of curry pork chop rice.

"Alright," Chen Ze nodded. Knowing the answer was enough, and as for the curry pork chop rice? He still had plenty in the kitchen.

Lafra picked up her Paluda; she had tried this drink before and thought it was quite good. freewebnσvel.cѳm

However, drinking it this time, she experienced a new sensation. If the previous Paluda she had tasted was a sweet beverage, this time it felt like she was drinking something incredibly smooth.

"Interesting," Lafra extended her little tongue to lick her lips, realizing the special aspects of this restaurant.

Sometimes, the same dish could possess entirely different qualities. Lafra referred to such cuisine as "special cuisine."

It seemed that this Paluda was part of the special cuisine, but what about this mango mousse?

Lafra took a bite of the mango mousse, and after one bite she felt something was off. The mango mousse, to the eye, seemed like it would be some kind of bread, but it tasted like she was eating a fruit.

Fresh and juicy, Lafra could even bite into the unique flesh of the fruit.

Indeed, another special cuisine.
