Chapter 3 Mr. Cat (1)

“It’s… It’s okay…” I replied, still in shock.

What’s going on? The owner of this noodle restaurant…is a cat demon? Furthermore, the way he speaks is so weird. It feels as if he came from an old historical drama.

He said he hadn’t had a human customer in years? What did he mean by that?

I became vigilant. Things may get tricky if this place was similar to the grove behind the campus where Devil’s night was.

However, Mr. Cat apparently knew my worries, he waved his hand at me while smiling.

“Don’t worry, my restaurant always only receives one customer at a time. If there is a customer in the restaurant, the others can’t get in. Haven’t you noticed when you came here? That alley only allows one person to come through.”

“I see.” I was too embarrassed to look at him and didn’t know what to say. But Mr. Cat warmly welcomed me. He wiped and laid the table while chatting.

“It’s so rare to have a human customer. Uh, I’m so sorry my restaurant is small and dirty. Oh, right. Since you’re here, your dinner today is on the house. What would you like to eat?”

The owner was too hospitable that I couldn’t decline.

“Ur…Thank you, but I’m not here for dinner…”

“Please, what does it matter, it’s my treat.” After saying that, he turned around and entered the kitchen. “This is a small and shabby restaurant, we only have noodles on the menu, please don’t our food too much.”

… Even if I want to, it would be impolite to say no, wouldn’t it?

“However, Mister, I’m not bragging.” The cat turned the oven on, picked up some noodles and said, “Once you eat my noodles, you’ll never be able to forget the taste of it.”

I gave in, waiting for him to serve the noodles. Though I hadn’t eaten any food tonight, I never planned to eat just a bowl of clear noodle soup. I was overwhelmed by his hospitality.

However, after a few minutes, the air was filled with a thick fragrance of noodles. I deeply breathed in some of it, and my stomach began to growl.

“Alright, there you go. Go ahead and have a taste!”

A bowl of plain noodle soup was put in front of me, but it smelled so extraordinary that it stimulated my appetite even though I wasn’t hungry. After seeing the eagerness in Mr. Cat’s eyes, I picked up the chopsticks and put some noodles in my mouth.

The flavor was hard to describe with just words. It looked like a bowl of ordinary noodle soup, but when chewed on, you could taste a very unique flavor. The noodles were so delicious that it made me doubt if it was food from Earth.

“What do you think?” Mr. Cat was eager to know my impression.

I nodded and said, “Mm, it’s really good!”

“Great, enjoy your noodles.” Mr. Cat smiled radiantly.
