Chen Ze left with a smile, his mood today was exceptionally good.

On one hand, it was because Lafra was adorable, and on the other hand, it was because Lafra was reliable. After listening to Chen Ze, she promptly gave him a Magic Fragment.

"This is a Memory Retrospection Spell, which allows the spellcasters to see the person they most desire to see from their memories," Lafra explained in detail. The method of use was also very simple, just needing to be crushed.

Chen Ze planned to go to the market to buy a few ducks to take back, so that he could make roast duck.

Roast duck is a particularly famous delicacy in Huaxia, but the selection of ingredients and the method of preparation for roast duck are also quite exquisite.

Most roast ducks on the market now are made from frozen ducks, which are cheap and also taste alright when cooked.

But Chen Ze didn’t plan on using frozen ducks since he didn’t quite like them, though the main reason was he didn’t want to waste the precious Winterberry Spread on frozen ducks.

Good seasonings naturally should be matched with good ingredients, so Chen Ze planned to pick a few plump ducks to make roast duck.

The market was crowded, but everyone wore masks, including Chen Ze, who walked purposefully towards the live poultry market.

Before long, Chen Ze had bought four live ducks and then asked the shopkeeper to slaughter them and remove the feathers as well.

However, that wasn’t enough. Roast duck requires a special oven, so after asking a few people, Chen Ze found a shop and bought an oven.

When Chen Ze returned to the Dream Restaurant, it was already past nine in the morning, and his mood was very good because all the necessary ingredients had been bought.

Chen Ze also spent money on a pile of wood, which was no ordinary wood, but fruitwood.

Roast duck is generally greasy, and too greasy a food can make it difficult for people to eat for long, even though Chen Ze had Winterberry Spread, which could perfectly solve this problem.

But Chen Ze still decided to use the methods of the ancients, using wood from fruit trees to roast the duck, so that the duck would not be greasy and would also carry the fresh scent of fruit.

The masters who helped Chen Ze carry the oven were curious about why they had to enter through the backdoor, but they didn’t mind, as Chen Ze had paid them.

Chen Ze put on a headscarf, took out the ducks, as they had already been bled and de-feathered, so he directly started to inflate them to separate the skin from the flesh.

Then he removed the ducks’ innards, threw them in the trash can, and began to prepare the roast duck.

Preparing roast duck was quite complicated. Chen Ze rubbed the bought roast duck sauce all over the duck and then into the belly. After rubbing it thoroughly, Chen Ze spooned a bit of Winterberry Spread and also rubbed it into the meat.

Next, he had to sew the openings shut. After that was done, Chen Ze put the ducks into water to scald the skin, which was an important process, otherwise, the skin of the roasted duck wouldn’t be as tasty.

But he couldn’t scald the skin for too long. Chen Ze counted to five in silence then took them out, continuing to the coloring step.

After finishing the coloring, Chen Ze started to inflate them again, and then he placed the four ducks at the vent, now all that was left was to patiently wait for them to air dry.

"Probably about two hours of air-drying should be about right..." Chen Ze checked his phone, then went to open the front door.

The door had just been opened for a moment when it was pushed open again.

"Divine Being, please let me go see the Invisible Boundary Line!" Hearing this voice, Chen Ze couldn’t help but place his hand on his forehead, Takanashi Rikka had arrived too early, hasn’t she?

Betty hadn’t even arrived yet, so why had she come?

But thinking about Takanashi Rikka’s longing for her father, Chen Ze understood. He wiped his hands and walked out, ready to speak when he saw another woman following behind Takanashi Rikka.

"Who are you?" Chen Ze was a bit dazed, this person looked somewhat familiar, but Chen Ze didn’t remember.

"Hello, Manager, I am Takanashi Tooka, Takanashi Rikka’s older sister." Tooka gave a bow, then looked at Chen Ze coldly.

"I’m sorry, Divine Being... it’s my sister who wanted to come..." Rikka grumbled, as Tooka had blocked her early in the morning when she was trying to sneak out.

Facing the Holy Reconciler, Rikka really had no other choice, especially since Tooka made it clear that without her, leaving the house was absolutely impossible.

"Holy Reconciler, aren’t you supposed to be at work?" Rikka attempted to resist.

"I took a day off," Tooka answered nonchalantly, then she shook the spoon in her hand.

"If you don’t go today, you might miss it forever." Tooka added, completely demolishing Rikka’s mental defenses.

Rikka could accept going with Tooka, but she couldn’t bear the thought of their hopes being utterly dashed.

Chen Ze felt a bit of a headache coming on; he was no fool. Seeing the disdain in Tooka’s eyes, he knew exactly what was going on.

"Divine Being!" Rikka was eager to approach, but Tooka blocked her with her spoon.

"Please let me have a look as well, Divine Being!" The last four words, Tooka uttered deliberately, pausing after each.

Inexplicably, Chen Ze felt something known as killing intent.

However, Chen Ze was not panicked, his mind as calm as an old dog’s.

Lafra had given him an Illusion Stone before, and he hadn’t really used it so far. Now was the best time to do so.

Chen Ze slowly untied the bandana from his head; it was time for his performance to begin.

"I will naturally fulfill the promise I made to this young lady," Chen Ze said tranquilly, unhurriedly, not even holding anything in his hand.

"Divine Being!" Rikka called out excitedly.

Tooka furrowed her brows and stood in front of Rikka, then watched Chen Ze warily.

Tooka was no weak, easily bullied little white rabbit. She could take down ten like Chen Ze.

"Oh? Then please, let me have a look as well," Tooka said sarcastically, yet her hand still clutched tightly to the spoon.

Chen Ze laughed triumphantly in his mind; today, he was committed to playing the part.

"Is that so? Lost lamb, let me show you the truth of this world," Chen Ze struggled to maintain a calm expression, or else he feared he might lose control and hide in the restroom.

These lines were too embarrassing! Chen Ze swore he never wanted to say them again.

"Here, is the invisible boundary line." Chen Ze spread his arms, but there were no changes to be seen.

Rikka excitedly turned her head this way and that, but there were no magical sights to be found, causing her heart to sink.

Could the manager truly be a fraud?

"The farce ends here..." Tooka sneered. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

The next moment, the entire restaurant instantly transformed into a night forest, with a great moon, the wind blowing in their faces, and the silhouette bathed in the moonlight.

Tooka’s spoon dropped to the ground.
