Chen Ze stood in the kitchen, making a batch of curry ran for himself. This ran was his own invention, and he used a unique combination of spices and ingredients, which made him quite adept at preparing it.
"Manager, what are you making?" Betty poked her head in, her eyes fixed eagerly on Chen Ze.
Chen Ze’s lips twitched, and then he glanced at his phone. It was almost noon, so by that account...
"Betty, are you hungry?" Lafra asked, looking at Betty.
"Hehe... Lady Lafra has caught on~" Betty said embarrassingly as she scratched her head and rubbed her stomach.
"It’s all the manager’s fault. Little Naruto was eating that ran outside, and it slled so good, not to ntion that masked man... Ah, my stomach is about to start growling." Betty looked pitifully, expressing that the greatest tornt of working in Chen Ze’s restaurant was to serve these delicious dishes to other custors while she could only stand by and swallow her drool in despair.
Moreover, since Chen Ze was making two curry dishes, the rich aroma of curry had filled the restaurant, causing Betty’s cravings to constantly revolt.
"Alright, it’s noon anyway. Lafra, would you like to join for so curry ran?" Chen Ze looked towards his girlfriend, who was smiling at him, her eyes never leaving him.
"Eh~ Ran... I’ve never tried it, but since my dear made it, I would very much like to have so." Lafra nodded with a smile, then sat down on a chair, swinging her short legs.
When Naruto was eating, Lafra would not go out to disturb him because she was worried that if she was around, he might be too embarrassed to eat, although she didn’t know why that was.
"Okay." Chen Ze nodded, then continued making his ran.
"Naruto, did you say the manager is your teacher’s husband?" Kakashi put down his spoon, the curry pork cutlet rice was simply too delicious.
Kakashi was not soone who particularly enjoyed eating; he mostly considered food simply as a way to fill his stomach. But this curry pork cutlet rice was truly heart-stirring.
"Yeah, that’s right, the manager is my master’s husband, so I call him... teacher’s husband." Naruto patted his chest, having almost choked just now.
"I think next ti you could bring soone else along," Kakashi said with a smile, rembering the family who boasted the title of big eaters.
In fact, when Naruto would beco Hokage later on, he would discover that the seemingly inconspicuous princess of the Hyuga Clan was a real glutton, soone who could make everybody else bow down in defeat.
"No, the Third Hokage doesn’t allow to bring anyone," Naruto shook his head. His al money was provided by the Third, and considering the Third’s status, Naruto listened to him a lot.
Though he listened to Lafra even more.
"Eh? What’s this..." Naruto took another bite of ran, then noticed sothing round at the bottom of his bowl.
"Is this... a fish ball?" Naruto took a bite and smiled contentedly.
The fish ball was extrely tasty, the flavor of curry had almost fully infused into it, yet it did not obscure the original taste of the fish ball, making it even more delicious.
"Let see... that should do it for the spices, I just haven’t figured out how to improve it yet," Chen Ze pinched his fingers, three portions of the curry noodles were ready, one of which was a larger serving made especially for Betty.
"Thank you, Manager!" Betty was so happy she could almost fly.
"Manager! Bring another twenty servings of barbecue!" Sebastian’s loud voice rang out just as Chen Ze picked up his chopsticks.
"Alright." Chen Ze nodded, then gestured to his Shadow Clone, who imdiately wiped his hands and began preparing the barbecue for Sebastian.
For so reason, even though the Shadow Clone Technique allowed Chen Ze to create a clone, the dishes prepared by the clone didn’t count towards Chen Ze’s own experience points. This dashed his hopes of using the clone to farm experience points.
"Today is very busy." Lafra took a bite of her curry ran.
"Yeah, it’s the Mid-Autumn Festival. I plan to keep all these custors here... Oh, darling, can you do a favor?" Chen Ze shoveled a mouthful as well, his stomach truly feeling hungry now.
"What is it?" Lafra looked at Chen Ze with curiosity.
"It’s just that..." Chen Ze quickly shared his plans with Lafra, and after she nodded in agreent, Chen Ze finally sat down with relief.
"Really, my gemstone would have sufficed as well, but I’m still happy that you thought of , darling." Lafra stood up with a smile, closed her eyes for a few seconds, then snapped her fingers.
However, for so reason, Chen Ze felt like he saw a Purple Sweet Potato Spirit snapping its fingers. Could that be an illusion?
Considering Gou Dahu’s previous experience, it shouldn’t be ti for the Purple Sweet Potato Spirit’s storyline to occur yet, so it should still be collecting its gemstones.
The next mont, Chen Ze saw the entire restaurant transform into a nightscape, with a round moon hanging in the sky, drawing everyone’s attention.
The scenery was also splendid; Chen Ze could see many firefly-like creatures fluttering around him. Coupled with the cool breeze and the quiet forest, it gave one a feeling of refreshing serenity.
"This..." Kakashi looked around in astonishnt, subconsciously using several jutsu to dispel illusions, but to no avail.
"It must be the boss’s doing!" Naruto said happily as he stretched out his hand, and a firefly landed on it.
"Lady Lafra’s magic is truly profound," Dragone exclaid.
As a Sprite Dragon, he had not felt any magic fluctuation, which spoke volus about Lafra’s masterful spellcasting abilities.
"Astonishing," Moriarty put down the book he was holding, observing everything around him. Everything looked incredibly real, and then there was the wind...
Curiously, Moriarty began to doubt the reality of his own world. If his world was also an existence conjured up like this...
"..Buffet." The door opened, and then Betty heard Lord Stan’s voice.
"Ahem... Lord Stan~ Welco to the Dream Restaurant, please have a seat," Betty patted her chest and hastily swallowed down the ran she had just been eating.
"Hmm, Lafra?" Stan looked around; the magical ambiance suggested that this was Lafra’s handiwork.
"Stan? Did you bring my things with you?" Lafra also walked out.
