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

Panda Novel

The crowd became hushed. They looked at one another, and then at Amy, who was holding her little fist up as the kitten curled up in her arms. She narrowed her eyes and pouted her lips to try to look menacing, and they bit back their words when they saw this.

I’d better get going… She looks so cute even when she’s angry. Sargeras turned around and left after he glanced at Amy. Looks like I have to settle for some roasted meat. I’ll try to find a difficult quest again today. I have to work hard to earn enough money to eat 10 roujiamos every meal.

A girl couldn’t help but laugh out. “She is so adorable!”

Some customers had seen Amy burn a lava demon and a royal magic caster’s beard. They knew that the magic caster hadn’t got angry and wanted to take her on as his disciple.

So, Amy’s threatening words worked out pretty well. After all, she even dared to burn a demon, and they were not as strong as the latter. They hesitated for a moment and left when they saw the demon leave without a word.

“Mag really means what he says,” one customer said. “And it’s pretty smart to let his girl handle this situation. I’m very upset, but I just can’t get angry. It’s so annoying.” He sighed, and then smiled.

“Yes. I’ve walked over 20 minutes to get here,” another one said. “But it’s not easy for him to run a restaurant all by himself. He loves his daughter, so it’s quite understandable for him to want to spend more time with her.”

Several remaining customers, who didn’t know what was going on, looked at the adamant Amy, and then at those who had left without hesitation. They paused for a moment and took their leave.

Mag smiled when he came out, holding a glass of water. Such a great little helper.He had thought about how to explain it to them to make them feel better, and had thought that it might take him a while to talk them out of eating here today. He had never expected that Amy’s threats would save him so much trouble.

Amy’s smile returned when she turned to Mag. “I have sent them away, Dad. They fear me when I get angry,” she said with a look saying she was waiting for her father to praise her.

Smiling, Mag nodded. “Yes. Amy is amazing. You’ve helped me a lot,” he said.The little thing was more cute than angry just now, and those customers have fallen for her cuteness.

Amy nodded happily. “Thank you, Dad. I’ll help you more.” She took the glass and drank some water. Then she looked down at the kitten in her arms. “Father, are we taking Ugly Duckling with us? It’s so ugly, it might scare Teacher Luna. Can I leave it at home?”

“Meow, meow!” the kitten cried out immediately, looking up at Amy, its eyes imploring and unhappy.

Mag shook his head. “Ugly Duckling hasn’t eaten anything yet, so we’ll take it with us and buy some milk for it on our way there,” he said. And I think Miss Field will like it.

The kitten is only a little bigger than a grown man’s palm. It’s a cute little orange cat. Maybe the name ‘Ugly Duckling’ left a bad first impression on her, so she finds it ugly. But, she has been pretty nice to it these days.

Amy nodded. “Oh.” Then she turned to her cat. “You must cover your face when we meet Teacher Luna. I don’t want you to scare her or those little kids,” she warned.

Ugly Duckling nodded eagerly, trying to look like it had understood.

After breakfast, Mag found the little basket that the herb collector had given him and put the baby bottle and a soft towel in it so that Amy could use it to hold the kitten when she got tired. They could also put in it the things they bought on the road. Then, they left.

Mag was wearing a long charcoal gray gown, which was very common in this world. It was somewhat like Hanfu ¹ , only that it didn’t have so many layers and was simpler and neater. After all, danger lurked around every corner in this world. It was better to fight and run in something simple and comfortable.

Mag’s long gown had been made specially by the system. It was a customized one, so it fitted quite well, and the cotton the system had used was much more comfortable than the linen-cotton in this world. He cut quite a figure in it, and the charcoal gray color made him look even more mature and responsible. Only the small basket in his hand was a little hilarious.

When they walked past the magic potion shop, Amy teased Black Coal and Green Pea as usual.

Ugly Duckling was a little hostile to the obnoxious crow, but it wasn’t able to jump high enough to reach Amy’s knee, let alone the birdcage which hung as high as a grown man’s head, so it just growled with anger.

Mag nodded at Urien with a smile, and left with Amy.

“Father, are we going to the school right now?” Amy asked, looking up at Mag.

Mag shook his head, smiling. “No. I have to deal with some business first, and then we’ll go to the school.” He had some other business to take care of other than finding an employee in a job agency.

Amy nodded. “Okay.” She wanted nothing more than to sing for Teacher Luna right now, but she had to listen to her father.

Job agencies were called job-finding services in this world. They came into being when Chaos City became prosperous. They had expanded their services from finding workers and adventurers for workshops and guilds, respectively, to almost any professions. One could even find a nurse there.

They stopped at a job-finding service called “Find All Job-finding Service”. It was about 20 square meters. On the outside stood two oblong wooden boards, on which were stuck several pieces of paper, and on the paper were job descriptions, employees needed, and salaries. Most of the salaries were negotiable.

Mag looked through the paper. Workshops were looking for workers, and adventurer groups were looking for special adventurers to do certain quests. The latter should be put up in the adventurers’ guild; nonetheless, they were here.

There was a section for job ads looking for waiters/waitresses and nurses. The average monthly salary for a waiter/waitress was 3000 copper coins, and their meals were free. They had to work from early morning to late night. It was one of the typical jobs that had long working hours and low salary.

These job ads were all quite ordinary. However, when Mag shifted his gaze to the bottom right corner, the look on his face became a little strange.

“Looking for a girlfriend—a succubus or an elf. Daily salary: at least five gold coins. Payment is negotiable based on prettiness and skills.”

“Looking for a demon muscleman who looks scary and can withstand the magic attacks from a 3rd-tier magic caster. The scarier, the better!”

“Looking for a handsome, lovely boy—an elf or a human—who should be good-looking, thoughtful, and can have s*x with me seven times a day. Daily salary: at least 10 gold coins. Payment is negotiable based on skills!”
