Chapter 1615: Where’s The Restaurant’s Lady Boss?
The restaurant opened for business, and the customers entered the restaurant one by one.
Angela chose a seat in the corner, and flipped open the menu on the table.
There was a lot of food on the menu, all of which she’d never heard of before, such as red braised pork, beggar’s chicken, steamed fish head with diced hot red peppers… They all sounded like weird dish names, and she did not know what to expect.
“So many dishes? That owner doesn’t look like he’d know how to make so many dishes,” Angela muttered. She glanced around, saw the crayfish, and her eyes lit up, but when she saw the price, she frowned. “This owner is a rip-off. He’s actually selling one crayfish for 1000 copper coins! That’s 10 times the price at Carapace Island!”
She reached into her pocket and felt around. She hesitated for a while, looked up at Yabemiya, who had been standing there for quite some time, and said, “I want a serving of spicy crayfish.”
“Alright. Please hold on for a moment.” Yabemiya nodded with a smile and walked towards the next customer.
The service staff in the restaurant are all so beautiful! And they range from half-dragon to magic casters, elves, and more. Angela looked around curiously until she saw Jane. Her gaze stopped at the golden horn on her forehead before she said with certainty, “It’s her! The one and only goldihorn. The service staff member at the crayfish restaurant on Carapace Island!
That little half-elf maiden that seems like Ay, the same service staff, and… the owner who is also not reactive towards the Eyes of Enchantment. Angela’s eyes grew brighter as though the answer was almost out.
But… where’s the lady boss? Angela looked left and right, trying to find that beautiful silhouette.
Angela was very disappointed not to have found the lady boss, and that made her question her judgment.
“That makes no sense at all. He couldn’t possibly have lost such a beautiful wife, could he?” Angela muttered as she craned her neck. She watched Mag busying around through the window to the kitchen and frowned.
“Ma’am, is there something wrong with my demeanor?” Harrison, who was sitting opposite her, asked as he adjusted his clothes awkwardly.
He had mustered up all his courage in order to sit opposite this beautiful succubus. However, she seemed to be sizing him up. Her charming eyes made his heart race. He finally could not hold himself back as he asked her the question.
“Hm?” Angela finally noticed Harrison. She raised her brow. She did not like to share a table with a stranger. However, she had already noticed that this restaurant seemed to have the tradition of sharing tables. If elves could stand sharing a table with a demon, it seemed like she did not have much to complain about.
But this human sitting in front of her was really too large. He was probably three times her size. Although he was slightly squinting, she did not feel offended. His eyes were probably squeezed together because of the fat.
“I’m not looking at you,” Angela said honestly.
“I… I’m sorry.” Harrison’s face flushed red. He felt that he had been utterly embarrassed to even raise such a question.
“It’s alright. It might be because you’re too big, so no matter where people are looking, you’ll think that they’re looking at you.” Angela shook her head and dismissed him.
“Why… do I feel my heart hurt.” Harrison held his chest uncomfortably.
Angela seemed to have noticed that her words were a little too hurtful, so she tried to explain. “That’s not what I mean. I just felt that you’re blocking my line of vision.”
Harrison felt himself becoming smaller and smaller. He started curling up into a ball in his chair, and meekly asked, “Is this okay?”
“Mm-hmm. Not bad.” Angela glanced at the kitchen again. This time, she didn’t have to crane her neck, and she nodded with satisfaction.
I didn’t expect such a unique succubus to exist. Harrison sighed. Succubi were said to be charming, and they were very good at making use of this point. However, this succubus in front of him seemed a little different.
“Are you a regular at this restaurant?” Angela suddenly asked Harrison.
“Yeah. I should be from the earliest batch of regulars at Mamy Restaurant. I became their regular soon after the restaurant opened. I’ve watched it transform from a restaurant without any customers into the most popular restaurant where we have to line up for a long time to eat.” Harrison nodded. He was full of pride, as though he was part of this big business by witnessing and taking part in its growth.
“Oh.” Angela’s eyes lit up. The corner of her lips turned upwards as she smiled charmingly, and said, “Then when did this restaurant open?”
Harrison’s heart skipped a beat when he saw Angela’s smile. He quickly answered, “It should’ve been almost half a year ago. It started at the beginning of fall, and it’s almost mid-winter.”
“Half a year?” Angela frowned. That did not match with the timeline of the crayfish restaurant at Carapace Island. Could her conjecture be wrong?
“Yeah. Boss Mag wasn’t afraid that this place would be too remote, since he knew that his food was good. This place used to be deserted, with only some blacksmiths and funeral parlors. His restaurant was the only one in this area. However, as he started launching the delicacies, the restaurant’s reputation grew day by day, and that brought business to all the shops in this area. That’s how this area increased to such a scale,” Harrison said.
“Is that little half-elf really the owner’s daughter?” Angela continued asking.
“The little boss is Boss Mag’s daughter, no doubt. That’s something everyone knows. She might look very young, but she’s an incredibly powerful magic caster, and is even a disciple to the legendary Lord of Ice and Lord of Fire. She is the little talented magic caster of Chaos City,” Harrison said with a nod.
“I see…” Angela did not think that the little maiden would have such strong backing. She hesitated for a while before relentlessly asking, “Then what about his wife? The lady boss of the restaurant?”
“Boss Mag’s wife?” Harrison looked at Angela, and suddenly wanted to give himself a big hug. Indeed, a beautiful woman would only start a conversation with him not because she wanted to get to know him, but because she set her eyes on the good-looking Boss Mag.
“Boss Mag doesn’t have a wife. He’s one of the most eligible bachelors of Chaos City. The ladies who want to marry him could line up all the way from the door of the restaurant to the city gate. However, he did not have a scandal with anyone all this while. He is a gentleman,” Harrison said.
“He doesn’t have a wife?” Angela pondered again. Although she did not use her Eyes of Enchantment, she could be certain that this plump man was not lying.
However, the information she got from him and her previous judgment and conjecture were very different. That made her very confused.
“Hello, here’s your spicy crayfish.” Just then, Yabemiya placed a plate of spicy crayfish in front of Angela.
“Th-this! This is it!” Angela stared wide-eyed at the plate of crayfish, and almost jumped out of her seat.
