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

Chapter 812 Lock Boss Mag up in a Small Dark Room

The sound of knocking rang out from the entrance of the restaurant just as Mag was making a cake with Amy and Anna. He glanced up at the information displayed by the omniscient door, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face, but he still washed his hands and opened the door.

As soon as the door was opened, Harrison yelled, “Boss Mag! I gave birth!”

“You gave birth? How is that possible, Father?” Amy poked her head out from behind Mag and appraised Harrison’s portly stomach with a confused expression.

“Grandpa told me that men can’t give birth.” Anna also stuck her head out from behind Mag on the other side with a serious look on her face.

Mag suppressed the urge to chuckle as he looked at Harrison, and asked, “You mean Miranda gave birth, right?”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Harrison slapped his forehead with a bashful smile on his face, and said, “I misspoke because I was too excited. Miranda just gave birth, and she gave birth to twins: a boy and a girl.”

“Wow, a new little sister?” Amy’s eyes immediately lit up.

“And a new little brother,” Anna added with curiosity in her eyes.

“That’s right. Miranda’s only just given birth, so Gjerj couldn’t make it in person, and he asked me to come and thank you in his stead.” Harrison extended a formal bow toward Mag, and said, “If it weren’t for your chicken soup and Yangzhou fried rice, Miranda and her twins would’ve been in deep trouble.”

“There’s no need to thank me; anyone would’ve done what I did in that situation. I’m really glad to hear that they’re all safe and sound.” Mag shook his head with a smile, but there was an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

During his previous life, he had lived in an extremely wilful manner, and was denounced and cursed by countless people as a result. Even God had punished him by sending him to this world.

However, he had now saved a mother and her two children, and received genuine gratitude for his good deed.

This feeling was far better than that of being cursed and scoffed at, and he felt as if he’d found his purpose in life.

Not only could a chef satisfy people’s taste buds, they could even save lives.

“Father, can we go and visit the little sister?” Amy asked as she looked up at Mag.

Anna was also looking at Mag with anticipation in her eyes.

“Gjerj says that he’ll come to thank you in person when he gets some free time. I have to tell the others about this, so I’ll be taking my leave now.” Harrison chuckled as he prepared to depart.

Mag glanced at the two pairs of expectant eyes looking up at him, and he hurriedly asked, “Can you tell me Gjerj’s address? I want to visit the two newborns.”

Thus, Harrison gave him an address before quickly departing.

“I’ll take you two to see the new little sister and little brother in a couple of days.” Mag patted Amy and Anna’s heads with a smile on his face before taking them back to the kitchen to continue making their cake.

The news of Mag’s return was very exciting for his customers, but all of them were struck with dejection again at the sight of the new sign plastered to the restaurant doors.

“Sigh, I know Boss Mag is in there, but I can’t taste his delicious roast beef; this is an excruciating feeling!”

“I want to smash this door open, then abduct Boss Mag and lock him in a small dark room. I’ll force him to keep cooking without pause, and I won’t let him out until I’m satisfied with his food. Does anyone want to join me?”

“Bro, calm down! If you knock this door down, you’re going to have to answer to two great magic casters, a principal, and a city lord… Are you sure you want to give it a shot?”

“Er… Oh… The sky is so blue today~”

The customers discussed spiritedly among themselves in front of the restaurant for a while, and even though they were quite frustrated, they could only depart in a resigned manner.

Dinner was steak and ice cream cake. Anna and Amy had participated in the entire cooking process, so the meal tasted especially delicious to them.

After dinner, Yabemiya made her way over to Mag with a curious expression, and asked Mag about what had happened during his trip to Rodu. In response, Mag gave them a brief account, skipping over many important details for obvious reasons.

Yabemiya’s, Babla’s, and Anna’s eyes lit up as they listened to his story. By the conclusion, all of them were staring at him with incredulity in their eyes.

“You’re so awesome, Boss! You can even win the best dish award at a royal banquet; that’s amazing!” Yabemiya stared at Mag with amazement and admiration in her eyes.

“Uncle Mag is the best!” Anna’s expression also mirrored the one on Yabemiya’s face.

“Best dish award, eh… Sounds pretty good…” Babla intentionally stifled her wonder and gave an aloof response.

“Father was super awesome! When his dishes were carried into the palace, no one could look away, so of course he’s number one,” Amy said with a proud expression.

Mag was naturally quite pleased by the admiration that he was receiving, and he dined on his steak with a smile as he said, “This is ice cream cake that even the king didn’t get to taste, and he’ll never get a chance to eat this black pepper steak, either, so you should have some more of it and savor every bite.”

After dinner, as Yabemiya and Babla were clearing the table, Mag poured a cup of water for himself, then turned to the two of them, and said, “By the way, I prepared a staff dormitory for you two and Aisha. If all goes well, you should be able to move in the day after tomorrow. It’ll be safer for all three of you to live closer to the restaurant.”

“A dormitory?” Yabemiya and Babla both faltered upon hearing this.

Miya shook her head, and said, “B-Boss, the place I’m currently living at is quite cheap, and it’s very clean as well, so you don’t have to prepare a dormitory room for me; I’ll make sure to be on time for work every day.”

“Are you kicking me out?” Babla asked with a hint of panic in her eyes. She didn’t know what a staff dormitory was, but she had deduced that Mag was asking her to move out of the restaurant.

She still had yet to grasp what kind of world this was. There were men on the streets blatantly holding women’s hands and even circling their arms around women’s waists; this world was way too dangerous for women! At present, the restaurant was a safe place for her to stay, but she was naturally feeling quite flustered at the prospect of having to leave.

Mag looked at Babla and shook his head with a smile as he replied, “I’m not kicking you out; I just think it’s a little inconvenient for both of us for you to live here. If you live together in the staff dormitory, the three of you will be able to look after each other.”

He didn’t like to live with other people, and getting Babla to live at the restaurant was only a temporary arrangement. He had already decided to transform the second floor of Ricky’s Rotisserie into a dormitory for Yabemiya and the others to live in as he wasn’t planning to expand by opening a new branch there anyway.

“Is that so?” Babla immediately calmed down a little. Living together with Mag really was a little awkward for her. It would certainly be a lot more comfortable for her if she could live with Aisha and Miya instead.

“Miya, this is a staff benefit, and I’ll also feel better knowing that the three of you are able to live together and look after each other. You three are the most important elements of this restaurant,” Mag said with a serious expression. Yabemiya was always thinking for the sake of others, and it was time for him to return the favor.

Yabemiya looked into Mag’s gentle yet resolute eyes, and a hint of warmth flowed through her heart. Following a brief moment of hesitation, she finally nodded with gratitude, and said, “Thank you, Boss.”
