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

Chapter 570 Ding! Please Close Your Eyes

“Now that I think about it, I haven’t been to Chaos City for three years. I wonder if Alex is doing well with his little daughter.” Outside Chaos City, there was a line of carriages slowly approaching. A young man looked up at the large plaque above the city gates with a concerned look on his face.

Under the moonlight, his face was a very ordinary one. If it weren’t for the scar at the corner of his eyes, his would be a set of completely unremarkable and forgettable features.

“That bastard is way too stubborn; he didn’t accept a single copper coin from me. How is he going to live in Chaos City without any money? I’ll go visit him tomorrow after I finish running my errands. It’s been three years already, so surely those people have given up…” The young man was speaking absentmindedly to himself as the horse-drawn carriage progressed into the city.

However, elsewhere further away, there was a knight clad in black who was also slowly approaching Chaos City…

At the entrance of Mamy Restaurant

“Moon festival celebration?” Amy and Yabemiya were both looking at Mag with surprised expressions.

“Oh! Father, are you going to make mooncakes for me?” Amy looked up at Mag with anticipation in her eyes.

“That’s right. I’ll be making mooncakes for everyone tomorrow.” Mag nodded with a smile. He then turned to the puzzled Yabemiya, and provided some context to explain the situation.

“So it’s a festival celebrated by people from your hometown. Reunion really is a wonderful thing, isn’t it?” Yabemiya’s eyes lit up before quickly falling into dejection as she forced a smile onto her face.

Mag turned to Yabemiya with a warm comforting smile, and said, “I hope everyone can taste the sweetness of reunion, and I also hope that those who can’t reunite with their loved ones can derive warmth from the celebration.”

“Thank you, Boss.” Yabemiya looked into Mag’s eyes and nodded with gratitude.

“Alright, have a taste of the beef kebabs.” Mag placed the kebabs in his hands onto plates and put the plates onto the table. The three types of beef kebabs had been placed into three separate piles. There was no need to include all three flavors on each kebab given that he wasn’t trying to appeal to any judges anymore.

“Boss, would you like me to get a beer?” Miya asked. It seemed that everyone had been a fan of that special beer that Mag had brewed.

“That would be great, Miya. We won a restaurant today, so we should celebrate the occasion. Don’t forget to add ice.” Mag nodded with a smile.

“Hmm… I also want some delicious beer…” Amy mumbled through a mouthful of beef.

“You’re too young for beer, Amy. Miya is also too young to drink beer. You can only drink it when you grow up.” Mag shook his head with a serious expression. If her mother were to see that he had raised their child to be a young alcoholic, she would most likely kill him.

“Alright then.” Amy was slightly disappointed, but she still nodded obediently at the sight of Mag’s serious expression. She continued to nibble on her kebab, upon which a joyful smile soon returned to her face.

A smile also appeared on Mag’s face upon seeing that. For a little foodie like her, all was well as long as she had delicious food to eat.

After a short while, Yabemiya emerged from the restaurant with a glass of ice-cold beer, which she placed in front of Mag before taking a seat herself.

“Thank you for your hard work today. Have some kebabs,” Mag offered with a smile. He picked up a spicy kebab and took a bite, basking in the delicious flavor that flourished in his mouth. The tenderness of the beef was something no other types of beef could compare to. The kebab was far better than any that he had eaten in his past life; it really did live up to all of his lofty standards.

He swallowed the beef, which left a scorching sensation trailing all the way down his throat. He then chugged down a large mouthful of beer, and was completely reinvigorated by the refreshing icy cold sensation that followed.

Kebabs and beer really were a match made in heaven.

The rest of the beef was all devoured by the three of them plus Ugly Duckling. All of them sat around with bulging stomachs, but the same expression of bliss lingered on their faces.

Amy cast a spell to lower the temperature of the oven, which was then carried back into the kitchen by Yabemiya. Then, they began to decorate the restaurant in accordance with Mag’s instructions to prepare for the upcoming celebration. Only after doing that did Yabemiya bid farewell to Mag and Amy. She had to get up early for work the next day, so she had to go home to rest.

“Have a safe trip home.” Mag bade farewell to Miya before turning off the lights outside the restaurant. He also removed the hiatus slip from the door and carefully placed it back into a drawer to use it at a later date.

“Father, the restaurant looks so pretty now. Are we going to invite a lot of customers tomorrow?” Amy asked with sparkling eyes. There were all types of vibrant and colorful streamers hanging in the restaurant, creating a very joyful atmosphere.

“That’s right, all of the customers we invite tomorrow will join our celebrations, regardless of whether we know them or not. As long as they want to come, they’ll be invited.” Mag nodded with a smile. Even if he couldn’t make this entire alternate world celebrate the moon festival, he would try his best to extend the scope of the festival’s influence to the entire Mamy Restaurant customer base.

“Then I’m going to invite Jessica, Daphne, Big Sister Xixi, Big Bear… Everyone!” Amy was giddy with excitement. She then asked, “Do we have to perform something? Like Spring is Here? Or Summer is Here?”

“Well… If you want to, you certainly can.” Mag nodded with a smile. He was very embarrassed by his lackluster naming skills.

After tucking Amy into bed, Mag took a warm bath before lying down on his bed. He looked at the golden experience bag and strength point in his mind, and fell deep in thought.

He took a glance at Amy, and finally made up his mind. He gritted his teeth, and said, “I want to upgrade, system! Top me up with the strength point!”

“Would you like to implement two separate upgrades or use the entire strength point in one go?” the system asked.

“What do you think? Of course I want to get this over with in one go!” Mag scoffed.

“Alright. This process will create quite a loud commotion, so please find an open area with no one around first,” the system cautioned.

Mag took a glance at the sound asleep Amy before making his way onto the balcony. He stood at the center of the balcony and nodded as he said, “I’m ready, system.’

“Ding! Please close your eyes and brace yourself for a lightning strike.”

The system notification sounded.

“Hah?”

Mag’s eyes widened as he looked up into the sky, just in time to see a blinding flash descending from above.
