A Stay-at-home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World - Chapter 853

Chapter 853: Father Will Teach You Swordsmanship

The little baby girl in the cocoon of blankets had a faint flush on her soft little cheeks, and she was staring up at Amy with curiosity in her large bright eyes. She reached out with a tiny little hand and strained a little to touch Amy’s face, upon which an adorable smile appeared on her infantile face.

“She’s so adorable!” Amy wore a content smile on her face, then looked up at the smiling Mag with an expectant gaze, and suggested, “Father, should we steal her away?”

“Huh?” Mag faltered slightly before glancing at Gjerj, whose expression had suddenly changed drastically. He had finally gotten the daughter that he’d been dreaming of after overcoming many hardships, and just the thought of having her taken away was like a stab to the heart. Mag hurriedly shook his head with a smile as he said, “We can’t do that. This is Uncle Gjerj’s baby, just like you’re my baby. If you steal this little sister away, Uncle Gjerj will be very sad.”

Amy shook her head with a serious expression, and replied, “That’s alright, if Uncle Blue Fatty misses her, I can permit him to come and see her. This little sister can live at our house, and I’m sure she’ll be super happy to taste Father’s cooking every day.”

“Er…” Gjerj was just about to say something, but he was suddenly at a loss for words. Indeed, being able to live at Mamy Restaurant and taste all types of delicious dishes for free was like heaven on earth.

“We can’t do that.” Mag shook his head with a smile as he looked down at the little baby, and said, “She’s still too small, so she needs to be with her mother. She’ll be happy to be able to eat delicious foods, but she’ll be even happier if she can stay with her parents.”

Gjerj also made his way toward them with a smile, and said, “That’s true. If you miss her, you can come and play with her at any time, Little Amy.”

“Alright…” Amy looked down at the smiling little baby in her arms, and nodded as she said, “I’ll let her stay with Uncle Blue Fatty, then.”

At this moment, Miranda made her way over to the door, and extended a grateful bow as she said, “Boss Mag, thank you; thank you for saving me and my two children.”

“There’s no need to thank me. I’m just glad that both you and your children are safe and healthy,” Mag replied with a smile as he shook his head. He had contributed to bringing these two little babies safely into this world, and that was quite a heartwarming experience for him.

Amy held the little girl, who had been given the name Kerris, and played with her until she burst into tears, upon which she was returned to Miranda to be breastfed.

Amy was less than five years old, but due to the fact that she’d been learning melee magic from Krassu and swordsmanship from Mag, her strength was comparable to that of a normal adult even without using any magic, so it was no problem at all for her to hold a newborn.

It was getting rather late, so Mag bid farewell to Gjerj and Miranda before preparing to leave with Amy.

“Wait!” Right at this moment, a rather tender voice suddenly sounded, following which Parmer suddenly made his way toward Amy. A hint of hesitation flashed through his eyes, but he still mustered up his courage in the end and handed a porcelain plate over to her as he said, “This is for you.”

“Huh? Isn’t that Parmer’s favorite plate? He’s always cherished it and hasn’t even used it once ever since you gave it to him,” Miranda exclaimed in a quiet voice.

“It is. He really values that plate. I didn’t think that he’d give it to Little Amy.” Gjerj was also quite surprised to see this.

“It’s a little ugly, but it matches Ugly Duckling’s appearance, so I’ll use it to feed Ugly Duckling,” After carefully appraising the plate for a while, Amy accepted the offering from Parmer before nodding with a smile as she said, “Thanks.”

Mag glanced at Parmer, whose expression had stiffened slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face. As expected, his daughter wasn’t someone who could be hit on by anyone. Thus, he made his way out of the courtyard with Amy’s little hand in his, and then placed her onto his bicycle.

“Just you wait, Big Sister! I’m going to become a little sister for sure…” Parber said with a determined look on his face as he stood at the entrance.

“Nonsense! You… You…” Gjerj stared at Parber with a resigned expression on his face.

…

“Amy, Father will teach you swordsmanship when we get home,” Mag said with a smile as he rode his bicycle.

“Yes, yes! I love swordsmanship!” Amy nodded with an elated expression.

Most of the melee magic that Krassu taught her was quite direct and violent, relying on powerful spells and unleashing sudden bursts of explosive power at close range to defeat the enemy.

These battle tactics were the complete opposite of the tactics that magic casters normally employed, and during battle, they would often catch the opponent by surprise and ensure quick victory.

These tactics would most likely be very effective against magic casters of the same tier, or perhaps of an even higher tier than Amy, but if she were to face a powerful knight in battle, her melee magic could prove to be a burden instead.

Krassu was undoubtedly one of the most powerful beings in existence. There was virtually no one on the entire Norland Continent that could directly withstand one of his ultimate fireballs, and as such, he was able to power his way through his opponents’ defenses with brute force alone.

However, Amy clearly wasn’t powerful enough to accomplish that yet. If she could combine some battle tactics employed by knights with her melee magic, and simultaneously cultivate as both a magic caster and a knight, she would definitely become a lot more powerful than she was now.

Amy was still quite young, but she was very interested in swordsmanship, and this was why Mag had decided to teach her so she could become an exceptional knight with brilliant swordsmanship.

No one on the Norland Continent had been able to cultivate melee magic, long-range magic, and knightly swordsmanship yet, just as no one in the history of the continent had managed to reach the 11th-tier. As such, Mag was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of powerful being would culminate after combining all three of those cultivation methods.

After returning to the restaurant, Mamy Restaurant took Amy to the top floor, and the two of them began to practice swordsmanship under the starry night sky.

…

At the city lord’s castle, a female employee handed a document and a black metal badge to Firis with a smile as she said, “Congratulations, Miss Firis, you’ve passed our background check and officially become the 820,088th resident of Chaos City. Please take good care of your residence card; that document contains your identification information. If you lose it, you can apply for a replacement at the city lord’s castle. At the same time, the city lord’s castle will provide you with temporary lodging and food until you find official employment.”

Firis looked down with a complex expression at the palm-size metal badge, upon which was inscribed her name and her identification, but she still politely expressed her gratitude toward the employee. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. Is there anything else I can help you with?” the employee asked with a smile. During these past few days, she’d seen many elves who had come to Chaos City to seek refuge. Most of them were very excited after receiving their residence cards, so Firis’ reaction was slightly out of the ordinary in comparison.

However, it was said that this elf had been brought to Chaos City by Alex in person, and according to her self-introduction, she was Irina’s servant, so her identity was rather special, which was why she received a bit more attention than others.

Firis hesitated momentarily before mustering up her courage as she asked, “Would you be able to give me a job?”
