A Stay-at-home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World - Chapter 203

Chapter 203: Is That The Owner Of Mamy Restaurant?

“You never miss any chance to make money, do you?” Mag sighed. “I’m so disappointed.”

“I don’t care.”

“You win. Hide it after you’re done disguising me.”

A strange idea came to Mag’s mind suddenly. “What do you say I charge parking fee outside of my restaurant?”

“The Aden Square is owned by the Lord of Chaos City. I don’t think he’ll allow it, and he might charge parking fee all over the square,” answered the system.

“You have a point.” It’s truly a great idea for the city to make money.

“The clothes are ready. Do you want them now?” asked the system.

Mag looked around and nodded. “Yes.”

A greyish black gown, a pair of cloth shoes, and a gray toupee appeared in the basket.

Mag changed into the old-fashioned gown and shoes, and put on the toupee following the system’s instructions.

“Extend both your arms and close your eyes. I’ll do the makeup for you. It will take about 30 seconds,” said the system.

Mag closed his eyes. He felt brushes working on his face and his hands. After a while, they were gone, and the system said the makeup was finished.

Mag opened his eyes and looked at his hands. They had become heavily wrinkled, like those of an old man.

“Looks good. But I can’t see my face.” Mag stroked his gray beard.

“I can lend you a mirror for one copper coin,” said the system.

“No, thanks,” Mag answered, walking towards a well. “Hide my bike, please.”

“Talk about stingy!” the system said with disapproval. It hid the bike, though.

“And talk about greedy!” Mag retorted.

The system fell silent.

Mag walked up to the well and looked down. Thankfully, the water was not far below. He could see it clear enough. The reflection in the water was that of an old man around 60. He looked quite like an old teacher even without any books in his hand.

Is this… me? His appearance had changed so much even Amy wouldn’t have recognized him.

Suddenly, Mag somewhat believed that the system could disguise him as a succubus.

Mag nodded contentedly. Not bad. It’s well worth the money. He wasted no time and walked towards his destination.

After 20 minutes, Mag was at the door of a detective agency. He stroked his beard and walked in.

A while later, Mag walked out with a young man in a gray shirt who was all smiles. “Mind your steps, mister,” the young man said. “I have great admiration for people like you. Hope it will prove useful for your book. We have files on other species too, and they are new and reliable.”

Mag nodded. “Thank you,” he said in a hoarse voice, and walked off with a bag.

“Old people are so gullible! It’s like taking candy from a baby,” the young man said as he watched Mag leave, tossing the two dragon coins up.

Mag quickened his pace the moment he was out of sight. He took a look at the bag and smiled.

He bought files on incidents which had happened in the past five years and were related to elves. They were nothing confidential, but Mag was pretty satisfied. That detective agency might be the biggest one in all of Chaos City. He had chosen that one over the Sherlock Detective Agency because he hadn’t been confident in his disguise.

Mag walked into a quiet alley and got his bike back from the system. He changed into his usual clothes and let the system undo the makeup. He was still amazed at the system’s makeup skills.

“System, do you have any experience bags for doing makeup?” asked Mag.

“So you want to dress like a woman after all.”

Mag did not deign to reply. He put the clothes and the bag in the basket and rode towards the Aden Square.

“Thank you for your 20 copper coins!” the system said.

“But it’s less than an hour.”

“I know,” the system replied calmly.

“…”

Mag stopped at the Find All Job-finding Service. It was crowded as usual. He hesitated for a while, locked his bike, and walked towards the door.

Mag had been lucky to find Yabemiya, but that was not something that would happen every day, so he wanted to try his luck here.

“Is that the owner of Mamy Restaurant?” Sally thought aloud, looking at his back with surprise.
