Takanashi Rikka, this name holds a magical allure, representing countless girls and boys engulfed in their adolescent Chuunibyou fantasies.

It was also formerly a famous video meme in the Ghostly Realm section of Bilibili, the one with the spinning finger. Chen Ze had lost count of how many times he had seen it.

The most distinctive features of Takanashi Rikka were her eyepatch, her hairstyle, and her uniform, which made her instantly recognizable to Chen Ze the moment he laid eyes on the girl.

"Would you like something to eat?" Chen Ze asked with a smile.

"Eh? That... curry rice..." Takanashi Rikka hesitated for a moment but still found a seat and sat down, then Betty went over to pour her a glass of water.

Takanashi Rikka was surprised to see Betty; initially, she thought Betty’s attire behind her was just a prop, considering Akihabara had plenty of maid cafés and even sister-themed restaurants.

Even though Takanashi Rikka didn’t quite understand why, she could still relate to it.

So now, even if a waitress claiming to be a Succubus appeared, Takanashi Rikka didn’t pay too much attention to it, since there were all sorts of weird restaurants out there.

"Okay, just a moment please," Chen Ze nodded and then returned to the kitchen.

Preparing curry rice was nothing difficult; Chen Ze was more curious about the world Takanashi Rikka came from.

Chen Ze remembered feeling extremely awkward when he first watched "Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions." It was incredibly embarrassing. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

There were many times when Chen Ze felt so mortified that he would toss and turn in his bed, but it got a bit better over time.

However, in the animation, when Takanashi Rikka started her Chuunibyou battles, strange special effects would appear.

Then, what were originally cringeworthy fight scenes transformed into a grand display of otherworldly wars, even more magical than a magic world itself.

Sometimes, Chen Ze wondered, what if it were real? But then he’d remind himself it must be fake, since there was the perspective of bystanders.

Chen Ze took out the pork, scooped a little bit of Winterberry Spread onto it, and began to officially make curry pork cutlet rice.

"These wings are real, you know," Betty said to Takanashi Rikka as she fluttered her wings.

"Eh? I am so sorry!" Takanashi Rikka hadn’t expected her gaze to be caught, and she quickly bowed her head in apology.

Betty didn’t mind; she had already noticed that Takanashi Rikka’s eyes were fixed on her wings and tail.

"Do you want to touch them?" Betty walked over.

"Can... can I?" Rikka was a bit nervous, but also very curious, as the wings looked so real.

"Of course you can," Betty nodded.

Rikka gathered her courage and reached out to touch the wings.

They weren’t the cold touch she had imagined but warm and fleshy.

Rikka was shocked. Could this waitress actually be a real Succubus?

And then, Rikka suddenly became excited; after all, if Succubi truly existed, then the Ethereal Horizon...

Rikka clenched her fists; she so wanted, desperately wanted to see that person again, even just a glimpse would be enough.

"Succubus sister, do you know about the Ethereal Horizon?" Rikka asked, biting her lip, her eyes filled with hope and her expression earnest.

Betty was taken aback. The Ethereal Horizon? She had never heard of it. What was that? Was it something you could use? A line?

"Nope, would you like some lemon water?" Betty shook her head, then thoughtfully asked.

"Thank you... no need..." Liu Hua sat silently in her own chair.

It had been a long time, every time she mentioned the invisible boundary line, the Holy Reconciler would deny its existence, and her classmates didn’t believe it was real either.

She really wished... she really wished...

"If only there was someone... someone who understood me..." Liu Hua curled her legs, silently hanging her head down.

"Invisible boundary line? I know about that," Chen Ze walked out, holding a curry pork cutlet meal in his hand.

"Manager, why did you bring it yourself, please make sure to call me next time," Betty complained, as it was her job.

"Sorry, because I heard something I had heard before, so..." Chen Ze said with a smile, explaining, and then placed the curry pork cutlet meal in front of the excited Liu Hua.

"Uncle! Uncle, do you really know about it?" Liu Hua’s excitement made her forget to be polite, but Chen Ze didn’t mind.

"I do, it is said to be the dwelling place of the dead, marking the division between the living and the departed," Chen Ze said earnestly.

Chen Ze clearly understood what boundary line Liu Hua was looking for, and it seemed he might have a way to help the adolescent girl caught in her fantasies.

But... whether this was good or bad, Chen Ze wasn’t sure.

"Please, uncle, take me to see it just once! I’m begging you!" Liu Hua stared intently at Chen Ze, not even glancing at the curry pork cutlet meal in front of her.

Yet Chen Ze found himself in a dilemma. To be honest, letting Takanashi Rikka see her father was not a very difficult task; all Chen Ze had to do was ask Lafra to cast a mental magic spell on Rikka, guiding her to see her father as she remembered him.

Or having Gou Dahu employ full virtual technology to create an image wasn’t out of the question either; although she couldn’t hug it, it still fit the concept of a spirit.

But was it really a good idea to do this? Helping Liu Hua move beyond her adolescent fantasies was what Shi Hua and Yūta had always been trying to do.

Moreover, the world Liu Hua lived in was close to reality. If she really got to see it, would she return from her chūnibyō journey?

"Please!" Liu Hua’s eyes were glistening with tears, which put a lot of pressure on Chen Ze.

"Alright, just this once, okay? Next time you come to my restaurant, I will let you have a look," Chen Ze finally gave in, unable to resist her plea.

After all, it seemed like if he didn’t agree, Liu Hua was ready to kneel down in gratitude, and that was something Chen Ze definitely couldn’t handle.

"Thank you, thank you so much, uncle!" Liu Hua’s tears still fell from her eyes, dropping onto the table.

"Eat your meal first," Chen Ze looked at Liu Hua and then returned to the kitchen.

Understanding the emotion of missing one’s family, Chen Ze could empathize, but it looked like he would have to find a way to deal with the issue of her chūnibyō. It seemed he could only ask Yūta for help.

Liu Hua wiped away her tears, her heart filled with joy and excitement; she even thought about leaving right then and coming back immediately.

But she still didn’t do such a thing, because no matter how she looked at it, it seemed pointless.

Liu Hua picked up the chopsticks, grabbed a piece of pork cutlet, coated it with curry sauce, and put it in her mouth, gently taking a bite.

The rich aroma of the curry and the deliciousness of the meat that took one’s breath away astonished Liu Hua as she looked at the curry pork cutlet meal in front of her.

This curry pork cutlet meal felt even more delicious than those made by the Holy Reconciler!
