A Stay-at-home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World - Chapter 1819
Chapter 1819: Who Could Stand This!
The fragrance was very invasive after the stir-frying, and the smell wafted over together with the rising steam.
Krassu slowly looked down, and glanced at the dishes served on the table. He raised his brow in shock.
That plate of dish with vibrant colors should be the stir-fried octopus tentacles. It consisted of a few colorful side ingredients chopped into small pieces mixed in with the octopus tentacles, making it look very appetizing. So octopus tentacles were this small. They were just the thickness of a thumb, and there were no eyeballs on it. The surface was gleaming with a layer of oil, and with a hint of the sauce’s color, it was actually rather enticing.
As for the so-called octopus balls, they should be the golden balls in the black square plate. They were bite-sized, and there was a layer of woodshavings covering them.
“Hm?” Krassu’s eyes widened as he looked at the woodshavings. These things were actually moving? Perhaps they were not woodshavings, but a kind of very thin worm?
Krassu lowered his head and inched closer to study the moving woodshavings very seriously. This thing seemed rather weird, but it was not scary.
These two dishes made from octopus were completely different from what he expected.
They were actually not scary at all. The stir-fried octopus tentacles were very enticing, and the octopus balls were cute and strange. It seemed like a normal octopus was very different from the octopus monster.
It’s not scary at all. Krassu raised his brow. He glanced at the other three, who still did not dare to look at the table, and quickly put on a frustrated expression. “Tsk, tsk. Th-th-this is a little too scary.”
The three, who saw that Krassu had already looked, were about to take a glance, but upon hearing that, they quickly looked away.
“Hey, hey, hey. You guys, take a look too. The dishes are already served. Why aren’t you taking a look? I can’t be suffering alone,” Krassu quickly said.
The three did not move.
“Look, everyone here is of the 10th-tier. Don’t you even have that amount of courage? It seems like I can be the only brave soul here.” Krassu picked up a piece of octopus tentacle, and put it into his mouth.
The three glanced at Krassu at the same time.
Krassu chewed, and his eyes lit up.
This crispy and tender octopus tentacle had a superb texture. The moment he bit into it, the freshness of the octopus exploded in his mouth.
Its goodness filled his entire mouth, and hit him straight in the soul!
Krassu felt as though he was submerged in an endless realm of water. There was no fear, and the most amazing part was that he even had the ability to breathe in the water.
He looked around curiously. It was a deep blue everywhere. There would be some fishes swimming past him occasionally without any signs of being afraid of him.
After that, he found a ball of flickering flame in the depths of the sea.
Why is there fire deep in the sea? He swam towards the ball of flame in shock. However, no matter how hard he tried to go close to it, the ball of flame would be a certain distance away from him as it shone in a unique way.
The pressure of the water around him increased, but Krassu could still clearly. In the middle of the flames, he seemed to have seen an incredible law.
“Phew~”
Krassu took a long breath out as though he had held his breath in the water for a very long time. He looked at the chopsticks that were still in his hands, and realized that he was eating.
What was that? Krassu was a little dazed. Could it be a hallucination? However, the hallucination was completely different from the octopus monster he saw in the underground cavern. He felt that if he could grasp that ball of flames, he might actually be able to improve his skills.
Could it be related to the octopus? Krassu picked up another octopus tentacle, hesitated for a while, and put it into his mouth.
The moment he started chewing, the goodness was released, and he went back into that miraculous state again.
The rest watched as Krassu took a bite of the octopus tentacle, and went into a trance-like state. They were all shocked, and quickly looked down.
The dishes on the table looked unexpectedly good.
There were no scary large tentacles, nor were there any red eyeballs. They were even… a little cute?
“This… is his son?” Louis stroked his chin.
“This should be the normal octopus from the Boundless Sea Realm,” Douglas deduced.
“It doesn’t look like much.” Urien picked up his chopsticks, and put a piece of octopus tentacle into his mouth.
“Hm?!” Before Urien could taste the goodness of the octopus tentacle, an endless realm of ice and frost appeared before him.
Is it really that good? Louis looked at the two who were in a daze, hesitated for a while, picked up a tiny octopus ball, and put it into his mouth.
“Mm~ ssss… Hot!” The moment he bit into the octopus ball, Louis opened his mouth and blew out a few breaths of hot air. After that, he quickly went into a miraculous realm.
Douglas could not stand them. He picked up a piece of octopus tentacle, and put it into his mouth, thinking, Isn’t it just an octopus tentacle? Why are all of them making it seem so…
After that, he saw an ice mirror that stretched out into the sky and ground.

The four of them came back from that state almost at the same time, and happened to match gazes. After that, they gulped.
“What did you guys see?” Krassu asked, his throat feeling a little parched.
“Something very miraculous.” Louis was in disbelief.
“I have to say, this octopus tentacle might allow us to gain something,” Douglas said seriously. He guessed that they had all seen different things, but the meaning was the same.
“Interesting.” Urien only uttered one word, and was on his second piece of octopus tentacle.
Krassu and the others did not speak further. They continued eating.
“Is it really that good?”
“Are they ganging up together to put on an act in front of us?”
“That’s octopus tentacles! How can they eat it with such gusto?”
The powerhouses, who were watching the four, were all in shock when they saw them eating the stir-fried octopus tentacles and octopus balls so deliciously.

“Look at the color of this roasted pig’s eyes. The thin outer layer of the eyeball is filled with liquid, and it looks as though it would explode if it was roasted any longer. Only Boss Mag could master such skills. I heard that there were people who were trying to copy him, but the eyeballs exploded all over the place, and they were scalded into fools.” Harrison picked up a skewer of roasted pig’s eyes, and introduced it to Dracula.
Dracula glanced at the skewer of eyeballs, and was immediately reminded of the eyeballs on the octopus tentacles. This might be called roasted pig’s eyes, but who knew if this was the eyeballs on the octopus tentacles?
After suppressing the urge to throw up, Dracula looked at Harrison. This little fatty actually liked that scary-looking thing. Not everyone could have that courage.
“Pfff…”
The moment Harrison bit into the eyeball, Dracula could clearly hear it exploding.
Who could stand this!
Dracula looked at the goosebumps on his arms and panicked.
