Chapter 593 - 792 – She Needs to Show Off Her Culinary Skills to Keep Going

"Oh?" The waitress raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Are you really going to do as you said? If you accidentally get full too quickly, I'm not giving you a refund."

Arton understood what she meant. She was worried he would finish after only a moment, become irritated and embarrassed, and then refuse to pay.

Although her words sounded somewhat condescending, Arton did not care.

After all, what she described was probably the normal situation for most men in this world.

The waitress before him was merely an ordinary attractive woman. Having never encountered a true monster, there was naturally no way for her to realize how different Arton was.

"Go ahead and give it your best shot. If the dish you serve me afterward satisfies me quickly enough, I can pay you double."

"In fact, if you can make me full several times over, I'll pay you twice as much accordingly."

"But I don't think you'll actually be able to earn that many Berries."

Arton shook his head.

He knew his own condition perfectly well.

If they were truly competing in endurance, he feared only someone like Marine Admiral Sakazuki, who could fight Kuzan for three days and three nights, could match him.

Under ordinary circumstances, even Arton himself had no desire to keep going for that long.

The waitress's eyes visibly lit up after hearing his words.

Without the slightest hesitation, she slid down from the seat behind her and crawled in front of Arton.

"We already agreed. If you really get full quickly, you can't blame me."

"And if you get full several times, you'll have to pay me even more Berries."

The waitress placed one hand on Arton's leg and spoke eagerly.

"Of course. If you're worried I'm trying to cheat you, I can pay part of it up front."

"That should put you more at ease, shouldn't it?"

Arton reached out and stroked the waitress's face with a smile.

"That won't be necessary. I believe you're a trustworthy man."

The waitress smiled and prepared to lower her head.

Before she did, however, Arton suddenly asked another question.

"By the way, no other customers will come in around this time, right?"

"Maybe you don't know this, but I don't like being disturbed by other men while I'm enjoying a dish carefully prepared by a beautiful girl like you."

Arton spoke solemnly.

"Don't worry."

The waitress leaned against Arton's weapon and smiled.

"It isn't mealtime right now. No one will be coming over for a while."

"Besides, this is a high-end restaurant. Not everyone can afford to dine here."

"Most people can only stand outside and stare. They don't dare come in."

Arton nodded unconsciously.

"This place really is quite high-class."

If it were not, there would not be a personal waitress standing in front of him trying so hard to promote an exquisite "dish."

"Go ahead, then. Let me see whether you're really as skilled a chef as you claim."

"If your cooking isn't good enough, I'll be extremely disappointed."

Arton proactively presented the ingredient more clearly before her.

"Th-This is...!"

Seeing the ingredient she needed to prepare suddenly become even more vivid, enormous, and filled with an enticing aroma, the waitress widened her eyes in astonishment.

It took her a long moment to recover.

"No wonder you're so confident. It seems I really do need to properly demonstrate my culinary skills if I want to keep going."

Taking a deep breath, the waitress transformed herself into a female chef and immediately began preparing the ingredient before her.

Compared with merely patting it to preserve its vitality, what she wanted now was to taste its flavor first.

...

"Sir, all the dishes you ordered are ready."

"Would you like anything else?"

The young waitress placed the final dish in front of Arton, her face flushed as she spoke softly.

"Thanks. Nothing else for now."

Arton picked up a slice of apple with his fork and reached beneath the table.

"It's good to eat some fruit when you're always having meat. Otherwise, you might get overheated from not getting enough vitamins."

A series of muffled noises came from beneath the table.

A short while later, a head covered in sweat emerged from underneath.

"You really are an incredible and gentle man."

The speaker was the waitress who had earlier asked Arton whether he wanted to order an additional dish.

Arton had a huge appetite, so since the woman had proactively made the offer, he naturally had no intention of letting her efforts go to waste.

Besides, he could easily afford the extra expense.

"Thank you for the compliment. You're also quite a remarkable girl."

Arton smiled.

"Unfortunately, no matter how remarkable my mouth is, it doesn't seem to be enough to satisfy you."

The woman sighed, then raised a hand and flicked the pet belonging to Arton in front of her.

"There's nothing that can be done about that."

Arton shrugged.

"Um... in that case, how about adding me as well?"

The younger waitress asked quietly.

"You still haven't left?"

Arton raised an eyebrow.

"You really intend to join in?"

"Mm."

The young waitress nodded repeatedly.

"All right. Then let's add one more dish."

Arton replied indifferently.

Delighted, the younger waitress put down the plate in her hands and moved beside the more mature woman.

Arton lowered his head and glanced at the two of them before focusing his attention back on the food covering the table.

There was so much delicious food in front of him; he could not simply stare at it without eating.

If he became too occupied by the two waitresses and allowed the food on his side to go to waste, that would be terrible.

Arton did not want to develop a habit of wasting food.

After an unknown amount of time, Arton finally ate and drank his fill.

The two waitresses had also finally finished their work.

Faced with Arton preparing to pay and leave, both women were clearly reluctant to part with him.

"Why don't you come to my place afterward?"

"I can show you even more wonderful things."

The mature waitress suggested.

The younger waitress said nothing but nodded emphatically.

Clearly, she was also reluctant to see Arton leave.

"Forget it. I have friends coming to pick me up."

Arton gestured behind them.

The two waitresses turned and saw two beautiful girls with cute wings walking toward them.

"Hm? Are they your girls? They won't blame you for what happened earlier, will they?" the mature waitress asked.

Before Arton could answer, Raki smiled.

"Don't worry. We're actually happy that you were able to let our captain enjoy himself."

"That's right."

Conis nodded.

After eating the meal Arton had ordered for them, the two had recovered considerably.

They had then come to the restaurant. Seeing Arton was still busy, they had not approached him immediately.

Only after Arton finished did they decide to come over.

They had been unable to properly take care of Arton earlier, so the addition of the two waitresses instead made Raki and Conis happy.

"Huh? Really?"

The mature waitress stared at Raki in surprise.
