Inventor of another world, the little female ghost wants to kidnap me

Chapter 19 Your wife’s cooking skills are amazing!

The working principle of [Online Dating Assistant] is similar to that of a mirage.

The user's body is tightly wrapped in an illusion formed by a thin layer of magic power. To others, he looks no different from an ordinary person.

The only drawback is that the user cannot cast too powerful magic, otherwise it will tear the illusion apart and make the disguise ineffective.

Likewise, the illusion will be destroyed by powerful magical attacks.

Three days after leaving Noren City, Miss arrived at the outskirts of Hele City.

In three days, he would reach his destination, Mag Town.

As it grew dark, he removed his disguise, walked into the city gate in his true form, and went to a tavern to eat.

There is a branch of the Adventurer's Guild in Hele City, so most of the customers in a tavern like this should be adventurers.

After a day's work, I took my hard-earned gold coins and went to the tavern to drink with friends, brag, and arm wrestle, having a great time.

Miss originally thought that this would be the scene in the pub, but...

Ding-ling-ling, the doorbell rang.

When Miss walked into the pub, the lively atmosphere he had imagined was not there, and there were very few customers.

"Boss, a small portion of flatbread, a small portion of stewed wild boar ribs, and a glass of green coconut juice with ice, thank you."

The mountain pig in Hele City is a famous ingredient and a must-try delicacy.

The man behind the counter seemed to be busy counting the bills. Miss observed that the boss was dressed very ordinary.

There was a thick black cloth wrapped around the forearm of his right hand, but there was nothing on his left arm, which was a bit strange.

The uncle didn't look up, but he didn't ignore him either.

"Welcome, welcome. Mr. Guest ordered a small portion of scones and stewed mountain pig ribs, as well as a glass of iced green coconut juice. I've noted it down. Thank you for your patronage. Please return to your seat and wait. Thank you again for coming."

Miss felt strange, but couldn't help asking the boss, "Excuse me, boss, why are there so few customers in the store?"

Hearing the guest's question, the uncle was stunned at first, and then continued to flip through his account book, still without looking up, he said: "Mr. Guest, are you from another country?"

"About the same. I'm not from here. I used to live in the mountains, so the news is a bit delayed."

The uncle smiled and said, "So that's how it is. There's nothing we can do about it. The sudden tax increase has caused adventurers to go to other cities with mazes or dungeons. After all, they can earn more money in those places. In Hele City, there aren't that many monsters that need adventurers to deal with."

"Without a job, there will be no gold coins. After paying taxes, there will be little left. Naturally, they will not come to our tavern to drink. Hahahaha, I'm just kidding."

"It's not because of the tax increase. I went on a long trip and just came back recently, so the store was closed for a few days. I didn't tell you that it's reopening today."

The uncle's words were somewhat nonchalant, but there was a hint of sadness in them.

At this time, Miss noticed that there was a smell of blood coming from the manager's arm, and he must have been injured recently.

No wonder the store manager didn't stir the stove in the kitchen, but instead did the job of the boss's wife at the front desk.

"I'm sorry." Missy said.

"Mr. Guest, there is no reason to apologize. Let's not talk about this anymore. Your meal will be ready soon. Please wait."

After a brief chat, Miss found a seat in a corner and sat down, waiting for his dinner.

As soon as he entered the store, he noticed that other customers were secretly looking at him.

Miss thought her hair was too eye-catching, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

A moment later, a young woman wearing a red apron came out from the kitchen with a large tray in her hand.

She looked around and finally fixed her eyes on Miss in the corner.

The woman was stunned, then turned her head to look at the uncle not far away. The uncle was still busy with his work and did not notice the woman's gaze.

The woman, who was too embarrassed to speak, finally walked slowly towards Miss.

Miss bowed his head slightly as a polite greeting.

The woman looked embarrassed and nodded slightly in return before placing the tray on Miss's dining table.

Just as the woman was about to take the tray of fragrant stewed ribs to the table, her wrist was grabbed by someone.

The woman shuddered and looked behind her. She saw a sturdy man with a naked upper body and glaring scars all over his muscles.

"Mr. Guest?" The woman felt pain in her wrist and begged the man to let her go.

The big man stared at Miss on the seat with his fierce eyes. He said in his hoarse voice: "Take the food back. This person doesn't deserve to eat the delicious food made by the boss lady."

"Get out, get out of Hele City!"

Of course, the latter sentence was said by the big man to Miss.

Miss was not panicked at all, and asked calmly: "Why?"

The big man snorted coldly, "You must be the freak adopted son of the Giles family. You've made it so hard for us to have food to eat, and you actually have the nerve to ask why? If you don't want to suffer, get out now!"

The pub was not big, so the quarreling here easily reached the ears of the uncle manager.

The uncle noticed something was wrong and hurriedly put down his work, walked out of the counter and came to his wife.

He grabbed the big man's wrist, exerted slight force, and snatched his wife back, then looked at the two people who were arguing.

After seeing Miss's black hair, the uncle immediately knew the reason.

"Sir, are you Mr. Giles?" The uncle's face was gloomy, but he still spoke politely.

Miss discovered that the store manager's hands had extremely thick calluses, which did not look like the hands of a chef, but were somewhat similar to Raymond's hands.

On the contrary, the boss lady's hands look more like the chef's hands.

He nodded, "Yes, I'm Giles."

"Hmph, boss, don't do business with him anymore. I will compensate you for your losses. I won't let you do business at a loss." The big man said as he took out a silver coin from his pants and placed it on the boss's wife's tray.

That's quite generous. Miss's meal was worth at most fifty copper coins.

The lady boss held her husband's hand tightly, her expression very nervous, "Master..."

The uncle pulled his wife behind him, picked up the silver coin and returned it to the big man.

"Hans, don't do anything rash. You still have a commission to do tomorrow. Those poachers are not easy to deal with. I heard they can even catch a dragon. If you let them get away, you'll be scolded."

"boss..."

Afterwards, the store manager personally brought the food on the tray to Miss and bowed to apologize: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Giles. Mr. Hans must have had two more drinks today. I promise he wasn't like this before. I'm really sorry to interrupt your meal."

The big man named Hans didn't understand the manager's behavior and was very angry, "Manager, you..."

Seeing that the store manager was determined to entertain the "culprit", Hans slammed the door and left in anger. After his companions paid the money, they also left.

Miss was the only customer left in the store.

Miss wasn't really angry, "It's okay, boss."

The store manager put the tray behind him and took his wife's hand to bow again.

This was beyond Miss's control. "Mr. Manager, what are you doing?"

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Giles. Our family depends on this tavern for our livelihood. We can't offend those old customers who always take care of our business, but we can't deny you a meal today."

"So, please don't come here again after you finish your meal. Today's meal is our way of repaying the kindness of the Warrior Commander. Although the food is not very impressive, please understand."

So that's how it is. It is indeed like that.

Looking at the store manager's deep eyes, Miss didn't say anything, but picked up a piece of ribs, put it in his mouth and chewed it gently.

Instantly, the aroma bursts in your mouth, and it melts in your mouth with plenty of juice.

good to eat.

Miss quickly finished showing off the ribs.

He just picked up the glass of cold green coconut juice, then put it back as if he thought of something.

He stood up, took out a silver coin and placed it on the table, then got up and left.

The uncle tried to stop Miss, "Mr. Giles, your green coconut juice and change."

"Let's drink again next time. Please save the change for me. Also, your wife's cooking skills are amazing. Thank you for the treat."
