A Stay-at-home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World - Chapter 435

Chapter 435: It’s Completely Different From What I Imagined As A Kid

The next morning, Mag woke up early to prepare ingredients. He then woke Amy up, had breakfast with her, and accompanied her to Chaos School for lessons with Krassu.

After entering the magic room, Amy immediately rushed over to Krassu with a purple crystal in her hand, and asked, “Teacher Krassu, can I put this purple crystal onto my wand?”

“That’s just a normal purple crystal. I’ve already added the eye of a 9th-tier Purple Gold Blaze Bird onto your wand. It can allow you to see everything in a radius of five kilometers around you in the form of projections, and it’s much prettier than this little crystal.” Krassu shook his head before placing the little crystal back into Amy’s hand. He smiled as he said, “The wand is almost complete. I’ll be able to give it to you tonight.”

“But this is not just an ordinary crystal. Jessica gave it to me, and it’s the most precious thing that her father gave to her.” Amy looked up at Krassu with an earnest expression.

Krassu looked into Amy’s eyes for a while, and a benevolent smile appeared on his face. He patted her little head, and nodded as he said, “Alright, then Master will add this precious crystal onto your wand as well.”

“Thank you, Master Krassu!” Amy was very elated as she turned to Mag, and asked, “Father, Jessica will be really happy if she sees this, right?”

“I think she will be.” Mag nodded with a smile, casting a grateful glance at Krassu.

Krassu stowed away the purple crystal, and smiled as he said, “Arthur and the other little brats from the Magus Tower should arrive in Chaos City today. They were apparently sent here to congratulate me on accepting a disciple, but I’m sure those old farts don’t have any good intentions in mind. They most likely sent those brats here to challenge Little Amy.”

“They’re going to challenge me? Master Krassu, does that mean some bad people want to fight me?” Amy looked up at Krassu with a curious expression.

“Master Krassu, Amy has only been learning magic for a short time; won’t she be in danger?” Mag was a little concerned. It appeared that Krassu wasn’t a very popular figure in the Magus Tower.

“Don’t worry about that. Those old guys are shameless, but not that shameless. They’re not going to send their direct disciples to challenge Amy. Otherwise, they’d become the laughingstock of the entire continent. As for those little brats, let them come! Amy has only been studying magic for about half a month, but she’s my disciple, so she’ll have no issues taking care of them.” Krassu waved his hand nonchalantly.

“Don’t worry, Father, I’ll definitely defeat all of them.” Amy also looked up at Mag with an earnest and confident look on her little face.

“I believe in you, Amy.” Mag nodded with a smile. Krassu’s words were a great relief to him. If he was sure that Amy would be fine, then she was most likely ready.

Thus, Mag left the magic room, and he bumped into Hydle as soon as he made it to the school gate.

Hydle’s eyes lit up at the sight of Mag, and he immediately made his way toward Mag as he said, “What a coincidence! We meet again, Mr. Mag. I wanted to go and find you today, but who would have thought that I would bump into you here? Do you have some time now? I want to discuss some details about the steam engine with you.”

“My apologies, Principal Hydle, but I have to go back to the restaurant to prepare some ingredients, so I don’t have time to talk at the moment. However, if you have some questions, you can come over during the restaurant’s recesses. I might not be able to provide much help, but I’m happy to offer my opinion if required,” Mag replied with a smile. Hydle’s hair was a little disheveled, and his eyes were quite bloodshot, indicating that he had not been sleeping very well lately.

“I see. Alright then, I’ll leave you to it. I don’t have any lessons this afternoon, so I’ll come to your restaurant to find you.” Hydle nodded with a smile, and didn’t force the issue.

“Sure. I’ll see you then.” Mag nodded before exiting the school.

He rode on his bike slowly toward his restaurant. The Aden Square wasn’t a very lively place this early in the morning. Many shops were still closed, and there was an occasional bleary-eyed pedestrian that had come out to buy breakfast.

The marble surface of the square shimmered under the light of the rising sun, and the evergreen trees in the square were still full of vitality despite the fact that autumn had arrived.

Everything was very peaceful and tranquil.

This is a little different from the alternate world that I imagined as a kid. But this is not bad. A smile appeared on Mag’s face as he rode on his bicycle, occasionally greeting the customers that he recognized on the streets.

He parked his bicycle in front of the restaurant, and extended a greeting toward the customers lined up outside. Aside from Yabemiya and Sally, Dicus was also waiting for him with a stack of documents in his hand.

“Mr. Mag, I’ve been sent here by the city lord to present this rental contract to you. After signing this contract, you’ll be able to use the plot of land in front of your restaurant as an outdoor dining space.” Dicus smiled as he looked at Mag, and his gaze lingered on his bicycle momentarily.

“Sure, please come in, Mr. Dicus.” Mag opened the door with a smile to allow Dicus to go in first. He didn’t think that the city lord’s castle would do things so quickly and get Dicus to deliver the contract this early in the morning.

“Boss Mag rented the plot of land in front of the restaurant? Is he going to expand the restaurant?”

“He’s not planning on making an outdoor dining area, is he? It’s a little strange eating on the street.”

“That doesn’t matter to me. If I can eat Boss Mag’s food, I’d be more than happy to even squat outside his restaurant to eat.”

“That’s not the point here. Boss Mag managed to successfully rent that plot of empty land in the Aden Square; that’s something that no one has been able to achieve in the past. As expected, Boss Mag is no ordinary man.”

All of the customers lined up outside the restaurant were discussing spiritedly among each other; they were curious what Mag was planning on doing.

“Boss, are you really setting up an outdoor dining area? You requested to rent this plot of land just because of my suggestion the other day?” Yabemiya was very touched by Mag’s gesture.

“Mr. Mag, you can have a look at the rental contract first. The rental period will be three years, with a fee of one copper coin per year. I hope you can keep this contract confidential as there are no precedents of renting parts of the Aden Square to businesses, and your restaurant will be the only one with an outdoor dining area.” Dicus placed a contract onto the table, and looked at Mag with a smile on his face.
