A Stay-at-home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World - Chapter 2253

Chapter 2253: She Was 18 Years Old Back Then

Sucking the escargot required technique, so even after Mag provided the technique, the maidens still couldn’t grasp it.

At a time like this, the toothpick was put to use.

Mag didn’t want to use the toothpick. To him, the escargot flesh that was picked out by a toothpick had no soul.

However, he had to admit that compared to Irina’s way of smashing the escargots with a hammer, using a toothpick was indeed more refined.

Miya picked out an escargot, bit it gently and revealed a smile. “This escargot flesh is so bouncy and spicy. It’s so scrumptious.”

“Yes. It gets tastier the more we chew on it. It’s spicy and crunchy. It’s a pity that we can’t drink now. It’s a perfect match to go with alcoholic beverages.” Angela already had a few empty shells next to her. She picked up an escargot with her pinky pointed up. The escargot flesh ended up in her mouth with just a gentle suck.

Mag looked at her glistening red lips. This was perhaps the so-called racial advantage. She mastered it immediately.

“I intend to bring all of you to a vacation at the Demon Islands when we go on leave a few days later. Do any one of you have any issues regarding that?” Mag asked everyone.

Miya’s eyes lit up and she happily said, “Can we go to the beach to swim?”

Mag nodded smilingly. “Yes. You may bring your swimwear.”

…

“I like the beach. We’ll get to eat a lot of seafood.” Amy’s eyes were also glistening as she thought of the time that she stayed at the Demon Islands briefly.

“Yes. There are many seafood merchants1.” Angela said smilingly.

Mag flicked a glance at her. He could sense that she was making a dirty joke, but he had no evidence to prove it.

After dinner and a brief rest, Mag opened the restaurant door and began their daily operations.

“Welcome to Mamy Restaurant.” Mag stood at the door with a smile. His gaze swept across all those familiar faces in the long lines in front of the door and stopped briefly on a middle-aged man with a square face. However, his gaze quickly went over him naturally.

“He has indeed come.” Mag’s lips curved slightly.

Rankster, the man who was as strong as him.

Even though he had disguised himself simply and restrained his aura, Mag still saw through him instantly.

The giant dragons weren’t good at such matters but it was enough to fool most people when he restrained himself to such an extent.

At least, he looked just like a normal rich merchant in opulent clothes when he stood in the line now. There was nothing special about him.

What made Mag surprised was that Elizabeth didn’t come with him. He wondered if she had come to Chaos City.

The restaurant hadn’t got any new employees ever since she left and they were short in manpower, so they were rather busy.

It naturally would be best if she was willing to come back.

However, Rankster, the king of the dragons, had returned. If he saw his daughter working in the restaurant and being given an order…

Mag wondered if there would be 10,000 warriors coming to demolish his restaurant. Just thinking about it was a little terrifying.

Mag was having wild thoughts as Rankster moved forward with the line. He was also sizing up Mag.

Initially, he thought that Miya was cheated and imprisoned by the restaurant when he found out that she was working as a server. He wanted to avenge his daughter.

However, after Elizabeth explained everything to him, he realized that the restaurant’s boss named Mag had taken Miya in when she almost starved to death and he treated her very well. That made him decide not to demolish the restaurant.

The name ‘Mag’ sounded rather familiar. He suddenly recalled that Alex’s first name was Mag when he was lining up. He began to feel suspicious and couldn’t help sizing up this young boss carefully now.

Their ages matched. They were both in their early thirties.

However, be it their looks, heights and figures, they both had distinct differences.

Humans were different from the other races. They couldn’t change how they looked so easily.

Moreover, a proud chap like Alex would never change his looks to become the boss and chef of a restaurant in Chaos City secretly.

With his culinary skills…

Rankster had tried his charred pheasant back then before.

He quickly retracted his gaze and gave Mag a basic judgment inwardly.

He was a normal human, but his physical strength was not bad. He was likely a 2nd-tier knight, but there weren’t many traces of combat on him, so his actual combat ability was probably below the 2nd-tier.

Then, his gaze moved into the restaurant with anticipation and a tinge of nervousness.

His daughter, the one who was separated from him when she was still in the womb, the one whom he hadn’t met yet, was going to meet him.

Rankster, who was afraid of nothing, was actually feeling scared right now.

He was scared that she would ask him why he didn’t come to look for her all these years.

He was afraid that she would ask him why he abandoned her and her mother, and made them suffer humiliation and pain.

He was a terrible husband and a terrible father.

Yabemiya. This name was chosen by him back then, but he only mentioned it casually. He didn’t expect her to remember it and name their daughter that.

Rankster walked past Mag calmly as he stepped into the restaurant, but he was stunned and his footsteps faltered when his gaze landed on Yabemiya, who was smiling at the side.

Yabemiya was standing there with smiling eyes, but he was instantly reminded of that maiden that he met among the flowers back then.

She was 18 years old back then and her life was ruined after she met him.

Countless memories flashed across his mind. He thought he was already emotionless and wouldn’t be affected by emotions anymore, but he only realized he was lying to himself right at that moment.

“This way please, Sir. The customers behind you need to come in too.” Miya’s voice interrupted his memories.

“Y-yes.” Rankster nodded and smiled at Yabemiya unnaturally before sitting down at an empty seat at the side.

“This man is so weird,” Miya glanced at Rankster and murmured inwardly, but she soon retracted her thoughts and continued to welcome the customers into the restaurant and take their orders.

Rankster swiftly regained his calmness after sitting down. He seemed to be sizing up Yabemiya inconspicuously. Watching her move around familiarly, he felt a little heartache and a little relief.

She must have had a hard time all these years.

However, the Golden Dragon’s bloodline in her had been completely activated. She was already a pure Golden Dragon and her royal blood was extremely pure.

And according to Elizabeth, Yabemiya had only activated her bloodline for less than six months and she had already reached the 5th-tier. Her natural talent was even above Elizabeth’s back then.

She was indeed his daughter. With such a talent, only she could sit on the Golden Throne in the future.

Very soon, he began to plan the route for Yabemiya’s advancement in his mind, including the techniques and cultivation methods to teach at her current tier, gaining experience at some secret locations and catching a magic beast to be her guardian.

“Sir, may I ask what would you like to have?” A familiar voice spoke up.
