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

Chapter 804 We“re Back!

“Father, didn’t that uncle who really likes roast beef say that he wanted to come to Chaos City with us? Where is he?”

Amy looked around with a curious expression atop the bird’s spacious back.

“Crap!” Mag raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. If Amy hadn’t reminded him, he would’ve completely forgotten about Duke Abraham. After the recent action-packed couple of days, Duke Abraham’s proposal to go to Chaos City with him had completely slipped his mind.

Mag scratched his nose in a rather awkward manner as he said, “Maybe he forgot. I didn’t see him at the city gates before departure.”

“Boss Mag! Boss Mag! Wait for me!”

Right at this moment, an urgent voice sounded from behind them. A massive black falcon drew level with the bird that Mag and the others were sitting on. Duke Abraham was standing atop the bird’s back, waving his hands in a vehement manner.

“My apologies, Duke Abraham. I was in a rush to board the bird just then, and forgot to wait for you. Please forgive me,” Mag said in an apologetic manner.

Abraham waved his words off nonchalantly, and replied, “It’s alright, I woke up too late, so it’s my own fault. Also, it’s about time my Xiao Hei[1] got some exercise.”

Krassu looked at the black falcon’s potbelly, and pursed his lips as he said, “This is such a majestic hunting falcon, but you raised it as a pig; what a pity.”

Mag also cast a glance over to the black falcon. At first glance, it did indeed appear to be quite majestic and powerful. However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that beneath its glossy black feathers, it was most definitely a little bloated.

It had lost the lithe and powerful figure of a hunting falcon, resembling a blown-up balloon instead. Despite its portly figure, it was flapping its wings with all its might, but the sound of its labored breathing struck one with concern that it was going to fall out of the sky at any moment.

An awkward smile appeared on Abraham’s face as he said, “Xiao Hei is just like me in its love for food, but it doesn’t know how to exercise restraint! That’s why I’ve taken it out for some exercise.”

“Do you see that, Ugly Duckling? This bird can fly so high even though it’s so fat, but you’re fat AND useless,” Amy said with a disdainful expression as she looked down at Ugly Duckling, which had its eyes tightly shut.

“Meow…” Ugly Duckling gave a feeble response, but refused to open its eyes.

The two massive birds flew side by side for a while, but Xiao Hei was quickly left behind, and was panting heavily as it struggled to keep itself aloft.

However, there was a pilot as well as a group of guards on the falcon’s back, so Mag wasn’t concerned about Abraham’s safety. He disclosed the address of his restaurant to Abraham before the white bird flew on ahead and completely left the falcon behind.

Abraham looked on at the massive bird, which disappeared into the distance in what felt like the blink of an eye, and said in a meaningful voice, “Xiao Hei, it’s time you lost some weight.”

…

Inside Mamy Restaurant, everyone had woken up early. Yabemiya, who was dressed in her maid uniform, thrust a couple of rags into Babla’s and Anna’s hands, and then gave them a bubbly smile that was brimming with energy as she said, “Boss and Amy are coming back today, so let’s clean up the restaurant before they get back.”

“Alright! I’ll wipe down the chairs,” Anna replied with an obedient nod.

“If only Big Sister Aisha was here; she’d be able to take care of everything with a single spell,” Babla said in a wistful voice as she wiped down the table before her with the rag in her hand.

Anna, who was in the process of carefully cleaning a chair, stopped what she was doing as she turned to Yabemiya, and asked, “Uncle Mag and Amy are both coming back; when are Big Sister Aisha and Big Brother Blour coming back?”

Yabemiya’s smile stiffened ever so slightly, but she quickly recovered her composure as she replied, “They’ll be back soon as well. Aisha says she’ll be back once the restaurant opens again, so they’ll definitely be returning shortly.”

“That’s great!” A smile appeared on Anna’s face as she continued to wipe down her chair.

At least, I hope that’s the case. Yabemiya cast a concerned glance out the window.

…

At Kerry’s Forge, all of the blacksmiths were working up a storm. The red-hot chunks of metal were releasing scorching temperatures, and all of the blacksmiths were half-naked in the sweltering heat, slamming their hammers against the chunks of metal before them over and over again.

However, the scorching heat and loud commotion didn’t seem to affect the room beside the forge in the slightest.

In that room, Cyril was lying back in a chair while a sexy young blonde massaged his shoulders. She swept her voluptuous breasts over the back of his head “accidentally” from time to time, and he wore a wide blissful smile on his face.

A middle-aged man with a set of rather sinister facial features, who stood in front of his table, stole a glance at the young woman with a hint of lust in his eyes before turning to Cyril with a fawning smile. “Young Master, I’ve acted according to your orders, and made sure that we were able to supply our orders for this month early so we could secure all of the payments. If we can get another batch of orders, we should be able to take some more deposits, and the blacksmiths will be able to set a new revenue record for the forge. In that case, we’ll definitely have earned more than Blue Suede Textiles Shop for the month.”

“Very good.” Cyril opened his eyes before latching onto the young woman’s hand as he said, “If we win this time, she’s yours, Kerry. However, as a safety precaution, I want you to secure as many orders for the forge as possible and get those clients to pay as much deposit as possible. We can’t afford to lose here, so we have to make all the preparations that we can.”

Kerry’s eyes immediately lit up with excitement and lust as his gaze roamed over the young woman’s body. He felt as if he could strip away her dress with his eyes, and he could already envision the feeling of having her soft fair skin and wonderful body under his. He immediately nodded, and said, “Yes, Young Master, I’ll do that right away!”

“Master Cyril, how could you give me to a blacksmith like this?” The young woman looked at Cyril with a pitiable expression on her face and a hint of fear in her eyes.

“Don’t worry, I’m just placating him. If I don’t give him some motivation, how will he be willing to serve me to the best of his abilities? A man like him doesn’t deserve to get his hands on my woman,” Cyril said with a disdainful smile.

“Really?” A smile reappeared on the young woman’s face, and she laid her hands against Cyril’s chest in a seductive manner.

“That’ll depend on your performance.” Cyril wrenched her into his arms, and his hands roamed all over her body…

…

“Father, I can see Chaos City! Look, that must be the Aden Square, right?”

Amy was pointing downward excitedly as she sat on the white bird’s back. Sure enough, a massive city had indeed appeared up ahead.

“That’s right, we’re home.” A smile also appeared on Mag’s face as he turned to the southwest, where a tall jagged mountain stood, but his eyes only lingered on that mountain momentarily before he withdrew his gaze.

The massive white bird was wearing the crest of the city lord’s castle, so it was granted entry into Chaos City without any impediment before landing in the Aden Square.

“Big Sister Miya, Big Sister Aisha, Big Sister Babla, Big Sister Anna, we’re back!”

Amy jumped down from the bird’s back, and immediately ran toward the restaurant with excitement and elation on her little face.

[1] Xiao Hei literally means Little Black. It quite a common convention in China to name pets “Little” followed by a certain color, and it’s often used as a generic naming device for animals and pets in webs. This case is similar to that of Ah Zi.
