Kells suddenly had a feeling of shouldering a heavy responsibility. Eliya was merely a spoiled rich girl, she didn’t know how to do anything, but this kind of plot was simply too fantastic. Kells seemed as if he had already seen through to the ending, and his enthusiasm, in that one instant, surged to its highest peak!

  “It’s okay, oh, about cooking, I understand a little bit. We’ve already completed the first step of opening the shop. How about we two divide the work? According to my method, there will definitely be customers here!” Kells said.

  The cute shop owner widened her eyes, looking at his face full of excitement. “Mm, brother, I’ll listen to you in everything, you’re really nice.”

  “Hehe!” Kells grinned smugly with a chuckle. “Then I’ll start arranging things. The matters inside the shop will all be handled by me, and you, you just stand at the door, that’s all!” The division of labor was unexpectedly so unbalanced, and Eliya thought this was her brother deliberately taking care of her.

  “That won’t do! I can’t do it like this, ah, if everything is done by brother, I’ll feel guilty…”

  “Haha, standing outside isn’t such an easy matter, oh!” Kells laughed mysteriously.

  “Huh? Is there something special about standing outside?”

  “Of course, you are, after all, the image ambassador of this restaurant, ah. You only need to keep smiling… no, if you change into a different set of clothes, the effect would be even better! Little sister Eliya, do you have any nice-looking clothes? Or something a bit special would work too, like cat pajamas, dog pajamas, or something like that!” Speaking of which, this kind of animal pajamas was extremely popular over in Anda. As for how Kells knew about it… this question is very profound…

  “Cat pajamas, I do have those… but wearing pajamas outside… Eliya is a bit shy…” As she said this, she lowered her head, and a slight blush could be seen on her face.

  “Little sister Eliya! For the prosperity of this shop, at necessary times, making necessary sacrifices is unavoidable, ah! If it’s not like this, the customers won’t come in, oh!” When Kells said these words, his own nosebleed came out. Just fantasizing about Eliya wearing a cat costume made Kells’ blood vessels surge, ah. It seemed that cat costumes came in many types, especially that kind with lace…

  “Eek! Brother! You’re spurting blood!” Eliya exclaimed in alarm, pulling out a handkerchief to help Kells wipe away the spurting nosebleed. The amount was really not small; the entire handkerchief turned red!

  “It’s… it’s fine… Let’s hurry up and start, let’s go change clothes…”

  Eliya considered it for a while and then nodded. She felt that what Kells said was right; if the restaurant couldn’t be revived, she would truly have nothing left!

  After about half an hour passed, Eliya came down from upstairs, twisting and turning shyly. Sure enough! She had changed into a cat costume, but it was the purest kind… Kells was a little disappointed, but even so, he still satisfied his eyes’ craving. Eliya looked extremely cute, and paired with these clothes, it was truly perfect. But just this alone still couldn’t truly fulfill the role of an image ambassador. Kells then began the next step of his instruction.

  “Later, when you’re standing outside, you have to speak like this. Learn it from me once! Welcome! I am Cat Eliya, meow~”

  “Welcome! I am Cat Eliya… meow” That last word, “meow,” really took Eliya a lot of effort. It was too embarrassing. Inside the house, it was still okay, but outside, she really didn’t know if she could say it…

  “Very good, keep it up, don’t think about other things, just think about reviving the restaurant your parents left behind. The matters inside the shop, I’ll handle them alone. Outside is your battlefield, strive to pull in every customer who passes by! You can do it. Oh, and the pose needs to be taught too! Learn from me!” Kells said, curling one hand and rubbing his face with the back of his hand several times. “When you say ‘meow~,’ you must do it like this. When your hand makes this motion, your foot has to lift backward, and your body tilts along with it! Yes, just like that! Do the whole thing once!”

  “Welcome! I am Cat Eliya, meow~” Eliya lifted her right hand and adorably rubbed her little face. Although the movements were still not so coordinated, it was already quite good!

  “Too cute, my heart, damn it, it’s beating too fast!” Kells clutched his chest, almost unable to bear it, ah…

  “Alright, everything that should be taught, I’ve taught. The rest depends on you, good luck!” Kells watched as Eliya walked out of the shop door. She stood outside as instructed, and every time a customer passed by, she did it exactly as Kells had taught her. The first few times, she couldn’t even say that “meow~,” but passersby were still attracted. Such a cute young girl wearing a cat costume—whether men or women, they all stopped in their tracks…

  Eliya discovered that the method her brother taught was indeed effective. She finally made up her mind to abandon her sense of shame. Meow~ meow~ meow~ she said it! Once, twice, three times… By the tenth time, she performed the entire set of movements very smoothly.

  “What a cute little girl! My mood is pretty good today; coming to the restaurant to eat once might be fine too!” a young girl said like this.

  “Hehe, she’s working hard, huh. It seems the inside of the shop is much tidier now too, so I won’t be polite. I haven’t eaten yet today,” a man followed up saying, his eyes fixed on Eliya.

  “Darling! This place is so special, oh. I want to eat here, lah, and there’s a cat costume! After eating, you have to buy me one too!” said the woman of a young couple.

  “Damn it, if that stinky hag could wear this and look that cute, it’d be great!” a guy muttered quietly.

  More and more people were talking, and the onlookers created a diffusion effect, ah. One told ten, ten told a hundred, and in no time at all, Eliya’s restaurant was packed with people. Outside, there was still a huge crowd of restless youths gathered; they had all come admiringly to see the cat beauty, but this bunch of guys was clearly full and had nothing better to do…

  Eliya was so happy. Back when her father was still around, the restaurant never had this many people, ah. But with so many people, could her brother handle it alone? Eliya couldn’t help but glance back into the restaurant…

  “Heavenly Father, ah! Too fast!” Eliya actually saw Kells running between the tables at a hundred-meter sprint speed! He kept running like that and didn’t seem tired at all!

  “Sir, what you ordered is the vegetable salad, right? Today there’s a special offer on food. If you order two portions of the special food, our shop will give you a mysterious gift! Oh, and if you come to dine again in the future, there will be a special performance! It’s a pity today; it’s still in preparation!” Although Kells was unremarkable in appearance, his polite and courteous demeanor made people feel comfortable after seeing it. His suggestion was extremely tempting, and in the end, all the tables ordered the same thing: the special food. As for what exactly this special food was, no one knew, but no one cared about that. Everyone was here for the mysterious gift!

  “Haha, this way it solves the biggest problem. I don’t know how to make that many dishes, but I do have one specialty. The types of ingredients in the kitchen aren’t many either, just enough to make it. Hehe, as for the mysterious gift, I’ll use that thing left in my bag…”

  Obviously, the mysterious gift couldn’t be those few cherished items at the bottom of his bag. As for what it specifically was, that still depended on Kells’ clever tricks! So far, he had done extremely well. None of the customers who came in had any complaints; they were all quietly waiting for the surprise. Meanwhile, Kells, who had entered the kitchen, also sped up. He used five pots at once to make a special vegetable stew. This was his best dish. Kells, this person, also had quite an artistic flair; he chose several brightly colored ingredients to combine together, so the stewed dish was colorful and pleasing to the eye. He also cooked a lot of noodles, and the final step was to pour the stewed vegetables over the noodles. Thus, portions of the special food were completed, taking less than a quarter of an hour in total. Then it was time to showcase Kells’ astonishing speed again; delivering all the food took him only five minutes!

  It was too perfect! Kells himself felt satisfied. “Ladies and gentlemen, today is the first day of opening. Our shop is also holding a special event. The name of this event is ‘Follow Me, Meow~ Meow~ Meow~’.”

  “The final winner of the event can dine together with our shop’s image ambassador, oh!” Kells’ game prize was extremely enticing, ah. This group of people came in because of Eliya. Whether men or women, they all hoped the cute Eliya would accompany them for a meal! Kells’ event instantly received a response!

  “Haha, you bastards, this game can only be won by women. You stinky men want to take advantage of my Eliya? Wait until after you’re reborn in the next life!” Kells chuckled sinisterly a few times.

  “This event is very simple. Whoever can follow Eliya’s movements and voice and imitate them the best will be the winner. There’s only one spot, oh, so please hurry up, oh. The food will get cold and won’t taste good! Let’s decide it in one go. Eliya! Come in and demonstrate once for everyone. All the dining customers in the shop will follow along, and I’ll be the judge!” As for this guy being the judge…

  In the end, the one selected was also a cute girl. Kells had been eyeing her for a long time already. Of course, that girl also liked Eliya very much, and the two of them happily began their gourmet journey. As for those envious men, they could only steal glances from time to time at the two happily dining together, their tears swallowed down into their stomachs, ah. Earlier, they had thrown away their old faces to perform that action!

  A moment of folly, ah, meowing~ really meowing~. As long as their wives didn’t see it, it was fine. Too embarrassing!

  Kells’ cooking skills were really good. Although the process and ingredients were very simple, the price was extremely reasonable, and most importantly, the taste was surprisingly good too. Many people who were used to eating rich and greasy food tasted Kells’ cuisine and praised it endlessly. In just one day’s time, Kells helped Eliya revive the restaurant her father had left behind. This guy’s abilities seemed to have a few more items added to them. You really can’t judge a person by their appearance, ah, truly…

  As an aside, that legendary mysterious gift was actually the remaining mushrooms Kells had brought from the forest. He accidentally discovered some hidden in the interlayer of his bag, probably something he had prepared for the most critical times, which he himself had forgotten…

  Of course, these mushrooms weren’t simple mushrooms. Mushrooms from the legendary Monster Forest, ah, these were grown with the noble aura of mysterious monsters! Normal people are quite curious about monsters. Ordinary people like them might never have the chance to see a monster in their lifetime. Moreover, it had long been heard that there were monsters in that Monster Forest, and no one dared to go in. These wild mushrooms could only be found in the forest; they were definitely not fake! Everyone was satisfied with this mysterious gift!

  In the span of one day, Eliya’s restaurant became popular! Kells created the shortest revival in the history of the De Rossi Continent.
