Vivian looked at Yabemiya with a serious expression, and asked, “Even if I were to leave now, and never come back again unless you sold me a second tofu pudding, you still wouldn’t change your mind?”

“Big Brother Mustache, you can’t go!” Amy cried.

“Why? What if I insist on leaving? Are you worried that if I never come again, business will become bad for your restaurant?” Vivian looked at Amy with a smile. She felt as if she had gained the ascendancy.

“No, it’s not that. If you really want to go, then you have to pay for the tofu pudding first. That’ll be 200 copper coins.” Amy shook her head as she extended her little hand toward Vivian.

Vivian’s smile immediately froze on her face. She looked at Amy’s serious expression, and suddenly discovered that she had completely underestimated this little girl.

“Did you not bring money, Big Brother Mustache? That won’t do. Our restaurant only takes cash, and you can leave after you pay.” Amy looked back at Vivian with confusion in her eyes.

Yabemiya was also looking at Vivian with a smile. She wasn’t worried that Vivian wouldn’t be able to pay. After all, she could tell from his attire that he was quite wealthy. Besides, he had paid for the grilled fish the night before as well ¹ .

However, the rule of one tofu pudding per person was set in stone, and no exceptions could be made. If he insisted on having a second tofu pudding, and would leave if he didn’t get it, then she would tell him it was just as Amy had said—pay the bill, and you may leave.

“Alright, please wait for a moment.” Yabemiya smiled as she entered the kitchen.

“Big Brother Mustache, you just want to eat the spicy grilled fish, right? I can see it in our eyes.” Amy also withdrew her little hand, and looked at Vivian with a knowing smile.

“Who told you that? How is that possible? You’re wrong!” Vivian was quite flustered as she waved her hands. She inched her face closer to Amy, and said, “Also, why do you call me Big Brother Mustache? That’s such a bad nickname. Call me Big Brother Most Handsome on the Entire Continent. I like that nickname.”

“But I don’t like it; I like calling you Big Brother Mustache.” Amy shook her head before pointing to the kitchen with a proud expression, and said, “Also, Big Brother Most Handsome on the Entire Continent is my father, not you.”

“Er…” Vivian turned toward the kitchen, and was at a loss for words. This little lass wasn’t backing down in the slightest, and she didn’t know how to respond. She looked at Amy’s adorable little face, and conceded her loss with a resigned sigh.

“Alright, whatever makes you happy, then.” Vivian took a glance at Schonard, who somehow managed to appear both grief-stricken and excited at the same time, and she immediately felt better. At the very least, her nickname was much better than his stupid long one.

“Alright, Big Brother Mustache.” Amy nodded, and stroked Ugly Duckling, which was rubbing its body against her leg, and she picked it up before walking away.

One dish after another was delivered out of the kitchen. Even though Mag was the only chef, the rate at which dishes were prepared was a lot faster than even in most large restaurants. Customers soon began to dig into their meals, and a blissful atmosphere permeated the entire restaurant.

“I’ll get 30 roujiamos.” Sargeras immediately made a loud announcement as he walked into the restaurant. His usual seat was already taken, so he stood with his folding chair near the entrance, and didn’t go in any further.

“We should have some seats available soon.” Yabemiya addressed Sargeras with a smile. She had become quite familiar with this demon who ordered several dozens of roujiamos every day.

“That’s alright, we’ll stand outside to eat. My brothers are really hungry, so if you could prepare the roujiamos as quickly as possible, that would be great.” Sargeras shook his head with a bashful smile. He didn’t mind if he got a seat or not.

“Alright, please wait for a moment.” Yabemiya nodded with a smile before quickly making her way toward the kitchen.

“Boss, I feel like we should set up some tables and chairs outside the restaurant. That way, customers who don’t want to come in have a place to sit.” Yabemiya walked into the kitchen, and made this suggestion as she loaded roujiamos onto a platter.

“Hmm, that’s a good idea. But are we allowed to do that in the Aden Square?” Mag nodded with a thoughtful expression. An outdoor dining area was indeed a good idea, but he wondered if it was viable.

“That’s a valid concern. I just feel bad for the lava demons whenever I see them standing outside to eat. After all, they’re already very tired every time they come to our restaurant, but they still have to stand.” Yabemiya nodded with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.

“That’s a problem that we should address.” Mag also turned to look outside upon hearing that. Sure enough, a few lava demons were standing outside the restaurant, and all carried injuries. It appeared that they had just returned from a hunting trip.

Earning the money required for several dozens of roujiamo every day placed a lot of pressure on them. They had to complete many missions in order to earn that money, and if they could take a seat while they enjoyed their meal, then it would surely be a form of consolation to them after their day of hard work.

“Ding!”

Right at that moment, the restaurant’s door was pushed open, and a tall and slender woman in a blue dress walked in. The temperature in the room instantly dropped by a few degrees, and even Mag, who was standing in the kitchen, could feel the frosty aura emanating from her body.
