A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Mag went to the ice cream shop after he left the magic potion shop.

As the manager, Miya had already gone to do preparation in the shop in advance early in the morning.

Because Mamy Restaurant was closed recently, the ice cream shop's customers increased exponentially.

Many regulars who came to ask when the restaurant would open, would order an ice cream to console their stomachs.ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

Miya was already very used to her identity as the manager of the shop. However, because Gina wasn't in the shop recently, it wasn't easy to deal with those ill-behaving brats anymore.

Fortunately, she had prepared ample toys and solutions, so at least, the order in the shop wouldn't be disrupted by the children's crying.

Ding!

The bell that hung on the door rang when the door was open.

Miya looked at the person who came in and said in surprise, "We're not open for business yet… Boss?"

"You haven't had breakfast yet, right? I brought some for you guys." Mag put the takeaway box on the table at the side and closed the door.

"They aren't awake yet. I came down to do the preparation first." Miya put down the things in her hands and sat down at the table smilingly. She opened the takeaway box and her eyes lit up. "It's soup dumplings."

"Yes. Let's eat it while it's still hot. They can eat after they are awake," Mag said with a smile.

"Then, I'll tuck in." Miya took out a steamer of soup dumplings and covered the takeaway box again to prevent the other soup dumplings from getting cold.

Miya sat across from Miya and watched her sipping on the soup dumpling with a smile.

Compared to the times when she collapsed at the restaurant in hunger, the Miya now had a rosy complexion and soft and tender skin.

Although this lass didn't grow any taller, her development didn't seem to be stopping. Her tight-fitting French maid costume didn't seem to fit her anymore.

Looking at Miya who was eating the dumplings with a satisfied expression, Mag felt a sense of accomplishment.

Reminder to all: Don't throw away the little dragon that you picked up on the road. She will become a dragon maid after you've fed her for some time.

"Burp…"

Miya licked the soup from the plate before covering her mouth and burping with a satisfied expression.

"Thank you for your meal!"

Miya got up and bowed to Mag. Her two ponytails swung and she looked very energetic.

In this world, there is nothing more blissful than to eat breakfast that was made by Boss in the morning.

If there was, then it had to be a lunch and supper made by Boss.

"You're welcome." Mag nodded with a smile.

Miya sat down again and said to Mag, "Oh yes. Boss, I heard they said that the world out there is in chaos now. A devil is even trying to invade our land. If you are not going away, is the restaurant going to open again?"

"I came to ask you for a favor," Mag said.

"What is it? Please say it." Miya looked at Mag.

Boss had never asked her for a favor before. It had always been him who took care of them and satisfied all their needs.

"I need to go on a long trip for a few days, so I would like to ask you and Xixi to take care of Amy and Annie for a few days," Mag said.

Miya said with a nervous expression, "But it's so dangerous out there right now…"

​ Two days ago, Babla had instructed them gravely not to leave Chaos City. The customers who came to the shop in the past two days were also talking about the city lord's castle's summoning order frequently. Everyone else was jittery and yet Boss wanted to go on a long trip right now?

"Yes. I want to follow the Chaos City's troops up to the north to cook for them at the frontline." Mag smilingly said, "The front is very dangerous. Everyone who joins voluntarily knows that. I can't do much, but as a man, I should stand at the front to protect you guys."

"Boss…" Miya looked at Mag with reddened eyes. She pursed her lips and tried to ask him to stay, but she couldn't say the words out loud.

"Don't worry. I'm just going there to cook. I don't have to go to the frontline to fight with the devil. I will return after the war is over." Mag patted Miya's head with a smile. He knew this lass was worried.

"Moreover, you know that I'm not an ordinary chef. I have the ability to protect myself. I can definitely come back safely."

"Yes. You definitely can." Miya looked at Mag and nodded seriously. "I will take good care of Amy and Annie."

"Then, I won't say goodbye to everyone one by one. Tell them not to worry on my behalf." Mag got up and prepared to leave.

"Wait a sec!" Miya stopped Mag. She reached inside her clothes to remove the golden dragon scale pendant and gave it to Mag.

"My master gave this to me, but I have no use for it. Boss, take it with you."

Mag looked at the shiny golden dragon scale in Miya's hand. Louis had given it to Miya for protection. The giant dragon's scale could withstand one strike from a 10th-tier powerhouse. It was extremely precious.

However, this girl wanted to give it to him without any second thoughts.

"Don't worry, I won't be needing it." Mag shook his head with a smile. "Furthermore, if I bring it to the front, I'm afraid your master will smell it and come to slash me."

Miya burst out laughing as though she could already imagine that scene.

Mag stopped smiling and seriously instructed Miya, "Take good care of yourself, and if there is any danger, you guys have to go hide in the restaurant. That is the safest place in Chaos City."

"Alright," Miya answered.

Mag nodded and walked to the door.

"Boss, you must come back safely!" Miya took a step forward and looked at Mag's back. "We're all waiting for your return."

"Sure." Mag waved his hand and smiled before leaving without a backwards glance.

A while later, Angela pushed open the door and walked in as she rubbed her eyes sleepily. Looking at Miya, who was lost in her thoughts, she perplexedly asked, "I seemed to have seen Boss leave the shop when I came downstairs. What's he doing here?"

Then, her gaze was quickly attracted by the takeaway box on the table. She went up to remove the cover and saw the piping hot soup dumplings inside. Her eyes lit up instantly. "Wow! Boss sent us warmth so early in the morning. He's being too nice!"

"Smells so good! It's the aroma of meat buns!" Hannah walked in and her eyes lit up too. She quickly strode over.

Mag returned to the restaurant and sent the two children to the magic potion shop.

Urien was no longer in the shop. According to Xixi, he had left with Krassu yesterday.

Mag crouched down and said to Amy who had reddened eyes, "Be good. Father will be back soon. Go play with your little companions if you are bored, but you must return home on time."

"Yes. Little Amy is brave. I won't cry." Amy nodded.

"Meow." Ugly Duckling leaped down from Amy's arms and rubbed its head against Mag's hand.

"Good girl." Mag hugged Amy with a smile before getting up to hug Annie.

Mag said to Xixi, "I'll have to bother you now."

Xixi hugged the two children and nodded with a smile. "Don't worry. I'll take good care of them."
