Chapter 1859: I Don’t Regret Loving You, Either

Live-streaming was a very tiring job. Mag felt that intensely after going for over an hour.

He had to talk fast enough, and yet his actions couldn’t slow down. Otherwise, the customers in the lines would be unhappy.

Therefore, after three rounds of explanations, Mag decided to play the recorded video.

Erm. Dark technology was indeed good to use.

The teaching videos of the four dishes were played in turn. After each teaching video was done playing, he would play a short clip of him cooking to let the audience see how a real chef worked.

Compared to the times when he worked at Mamy Restaurant, where he had to handle dozens of dishes, handling four dishes wasn’t a test to Mag at all. However, the restaurant only operated for a few hours, while the Delicacy Extravaganza’s booth lasted for the entire day without a break. That was the real test.

“Boss, the small-sized octopus tentacles are almost sold out,” Angela reminded Mag softly.

“The refrigerator is below the display unit. It’s filled with small-sized octopus tentacles. You can replenish it any time.” Mag saw that the small-sized octopus tentacles, which were originally stacked up as high as a mound, were about to run out, but nobody was buying the large and extra-large octopus tentacles. Hence, he let the system change all the stock to the small-sized tentacles.

“Alright.” Angela nodded. She opened the refrigerator’s door, and it was indeed filled with small-sized octopus tentacles. If the refrigerators below the display unit were all filled with stock, then they wouldn’t have to worry about the stock running out.

“Your octopus balls.” Yabemiya passed a helping of octopus balls to a maiden in a light yellow long dress in front of her.

“Thank you.” That maiden flipped her loose flowing hair before turning to look at the man standing next to her, and calmly said, “Let’s split up after eating this helping of octopus balls.”

“Huh?” The man who was still holding a bouquet of flowers was stunned.

“Huh?” Mag also looked up in shock. What were these two people doing? The maiden looked intricate and well-dressed. The man was also handsome and well-dressed. However, he had a rather bad case of dark circles. At first glance, they looked rather compatible.

“You have been good to me all these years. Although you are quite the jerk, I don’t regret having loved you before.” That maiden looked at the man, who looked increasingly miserable, with a mocking smile.

“Maggie, you have to believe me. I really do love you…” The man covered his heart with his hand. Tears filled his black eyes as he was about to weep. He could really act on a whim.

Even Mag couldn’t help but slow down to watch and learn his acting skills. Perhaps he would put it to good use one day.

The customers who were looking up at the tutorials began to listen in as they detected a good show in the making.

“You love me, and yet you cheated on me again and again? I have found women’s underwear in the crack of our bed. There are so many of them that they could fill every corner of our house. And, they are all of different sizes.” The maiden grew increasingly mocking. “But that is our home, the bed that I sleep on every night. When did you manage to bring them home? I am so silly. I actually didn’t discover anything. Your control of timing really frightens me.”

“Those…” The man’s expression changed, and a hint of panic and regret flashed across his eyes.

The onlookers made various faces.

Holy moly! Mag looked at that man with a respectful gaze. His time management skill was indeed unparalleled!

That maiden interrupted that man, and continued, “Those are just the tip of the iceberg. You said you liked to exercise and treasured your friendship with your bros. I’m so silly. I always tried to understand that, and let you have time to exercise with your bros. If I hadn’t seen your diary a few days ago, I wouldn’t have known that ‘multiplayer sports’ that you guys love is actually that kind of ‘sports’…”

The onlookers: (`ヘ ́)=3

Mag: (`ヘ ́)=3

“Alright then, I can’t force a relationship. I have let you down all these years, Maggie. I don’t regret loving you, either. Let’s just end this.” The man threw the flowers to the ground, and walked away.

The maiden looked at the man’s retreating back as she held the octopus balls in silence.

Everyone was looking at her with pity. It seemed like this maiden had met a jerk.

“This is my payment.” After a while, the maiden turned around, and passed a silver coin to Yabemiya.

“Miss, you are our number 666 customer today. You’re very lucky as you get to eat for free,” Mag said with a smile.

Yabemiya retracted her hand that she just extended out.

“Really?” The maiden’s eyes lit up, and she looked at Mag with surprise.

“Yes. Seems like you are very lucky today.” Mag nodded.

The maiden smiled, and then nodded. “Yes. I broke off with a jerk, and get to eat the cute and delicious octopus balls for free. It looks like I am indeed very lucky today.”

Mag smiled, and gently said, “Cheer up. You deserve someone better.”

“Mm-hmm.” The maiden nodded hard. “Thank you, Boss!” She waved and then turned to leave.

Everyone watched that maiden disappear into the crowd. Her light yellow long dress, coupled with her loose flowing hair, made her look like a wilted sunflower that was looking up to the sun again.

Then, all the maidens began to look at Mag with an unexplainable gentle gaze.

The brisk business of the Mamy Restaurant’s booth made its surrounding booths look quiet. Even those customers who were squeezing in front of the other booths were looking at that giant screen, or envying the orderly lines.

“Why are these customers so accommodating to him? This doesn’t match their status as the customers at all!” Alva in the Ducas Restaurant’s booth next door looked at the crowd, and clenched his teeth.

Beate looked much calmer. He felt complex as he watched Mag teaching carefully on the giant screen.

If he hadn’t been particularly convinced when he had lost to Mag the first time, he had fully grasped the difference between him and Mag now as he watched Mag share his recipes publicly and teach on-the-spot without holding back.

Were these four dishes casually thought out to entertain the audience, create a hype, and attract attention?

Judging from those customers who heaped lavish praises on it and the aroma that kept spreading over, that was not the case.

These were delicacies that were sought-after, well-received by the customers, and highly profitable.

Furthermore, every dish wasn’t easy to make. Even if others wanted to copy them, it would be difficult to achieve the same taste.

Just like Mamy Restaurant’s other dishes. Alva had asked their kitchen to replicate them more than once, but they could never replicate any dish exactly. It was even very difficult to achieve a similar taste. This was what made Mamy Restaurant a unique existence.

However, Mag was selflessly sharing these four dishes with everyone. One would never find another chef in Chaos City, or perhaps on the whole Norland Continent, with such broad-mindedness and confidence.
